Default Main Stage and Seating



The Main Stage and Seating area takes up the whole front of the Great Hall. There are round tables which seat eight or so people scattered everywhere, covered in white tablecloths, and decorated with red roses and place settings. Lit red candles float near the ceiling, casting a warm glow on the diners. To either side of the Great Hall are long trestle tables laden with all sorts of valentines food... only the table on the left features Valentines themed food like pizza with heart-shaped pepperoni, heart-shaped sushi, and pink lemonade, while the table on the right has a more anti-love theme with candy hearts that state slogans like 'cupid stay away', 'it's not me, it's you' and 'leave me alone', and cupcakes with hearts on them that would be cute if it wasn't for the little licorice dagger piercing each heart right through the centre.

Even closer to the front of the Great Hall is a large stage, right where the staff dais usually is. In front of the stage is a sizable dance floor, ready for anyone who wants to get up and show off the skills they learned with Flamsteed. As for the music, that is provided by The Dead Kneazles, a student band consisting of Vesper Bayliss, Nigel Barrington, West Odessa, and Ascanius Stark. They will be performing danceworthy tunes in 20-30 minute sets, and when they aren't up there rocking out for your listening and grooving pleasure, a sound system will play a selection of classic Muggle and Wizarding love and anti-love themed hits.

So come and eat, or dance, or just sit and chatter. Love is in the air!

Or is it?

ooc: Feel free to make up what kind of love or anti-love themed food or drinks your character finds on the two tables! While you may not RP for the band itself, you are more than welcome and encouraged to RP dancing to different songs (and saying what songs are playing on the sound system when the band isn't around), or just listening and watching as your character pleases!

He put his hand on her waist and held her other hand in his. Then they started to sway. He grinned and said, "Wow you were right, you are a good dancer..." He was impressed with her skills. This song was nice to dance to but he was starting to miss Emmy. But Annalee was here and he was glad. If she wasn't here, he wouldn't have been having a fun time.

Then the music stopped and he noticed the band was on break. He stopped dancing and broke apart and asked her, "Do you mind if we go sit down and get something to drink? I do not know about you put i am pretty thirsty after doing those chicken dances."
Anna looked up at him and smiled, following him, still fighting back the nerves. She looked up at him “Bit of an odd song for me to hear.” She gave a small laugh, “It was Mom and Dad’s wedding song… One of the old family videos we use to watch all the time.”

She laughed and smiled, laying one of her hands on his shoulder, “I told you I would be.” Annaleecia smirked at him and gave a small giggle. She looked up at him and smiled weakly. She really didn’t think the night could get any better… She had him by her side and she couldn’t be happier with it. She smiled then looked down before making up her mind and looked up at him again, kissing him lightly.

… And then the music stopped, along with her pulse she was sure… She quickly pulled back, “I… I’m so sorry…” She looked down mortified with herself and quickly pulled away from him, feeling like an idiot for slipping up. She heard his question but just shook her head weakly quickly running in the opposite direction, blinking away tears. She felt like such an idiot… She knew he didn’t feel the same way and she still… She couldn’t fight a small sob but kept going in the other way, not wanting to look back to see him probably filled with disgust at what she’d done.

And he could have another wink AFTER he got off that stage, too. Some compliments as well if he was lucky.

To be with Alice. "Twirling." There would be some of that, yes.

Her eyes left the stage and surveyed her best with an amused expression. "You gain that much weight? Impossible. That would be like me doing all of that exercise I hear all of you quidditch players speak of." Dora was still recovering from her spontaneous run with Botros, did not need anymore of that. "The chicken doesn't look so bad." She observed. "Or the fruit. Fruit is really good stuff you know." Did she? She had to.
"Untrue. It's a real number. Numbers that aren't real are, like... the square root of negative one. Or something." Alice scrunched her nose up some more in defiance, the habit still overtaking her expression. "I'm holding zero apples now, aren't I? And zero hands." And she wanted zero dances, too, but that obviously wasn't happening.

Well, to be honest, it was a stretch talking about weight gain right now. While this whole aging thing hadn't affected her appearance in terms of hair color and wrinkles, it had the seventh year dropping pound after pound. Her body had gotten far too sparse in places she was NOT meant to be sparse in... maybe she could do with the grease today? Yeah. "Eh. I'll find something better after that dance." That ONE dance.

How it'd taken so long for them to play live, she wasn't sure. But she was certainly hoping it wouldn't be their last time playing live.

"She's not..." Her eyes, which had been sweeping over each member while they sang, now focused on Vesper who was... yes. She was tossing looks Alice's way. Interesting that.

Mostly, a total mood killer.

The sixth year moved off the table and kicked off her heels, reaching out for Alice's hand. "I think it's all the make up. Too much of it. Come on, too many songs have played and I want my dance now." She made a show of wiggling her toes. "Even took my shoes off. You'll have to do the same if you're standing on me."
Wholehearted approval of the Queen and Lady Antebellum selections here. Who'd picked those ones? The Aerosmith song was a bit out of her range of taste, but Alice still swayed to them slightly as she slipped out of her shoes for her dance with her best. Dead Kneazles were good, they were, and she was most definitely enjoying their first set. Until she got another look tossed her way, that was.

Make up? Really? That was the best Dora could do? "Stop making excuses for her. She's doing it again, see?" And the lioness still had no idea why. But she did find it very annoying that Vesper was content to just stand there and shoot her nasty looks while on stage, especially when Alice was clueless as to what she'd ever done to receive so much dislike from her. That was just... cowardly. And mean.

And she somehow liked the Ravenclaw's singing a lot less now.

There was still a Dora dance in order, though. Too bad the set was over. "S'no fun moving to sound system stuff. During their next set. Promise."

That reaction? Yeah, it was as amusing as Penelope thought it would be. A smirk appeared for a bit, but it quickly melted back into a genuine smile when Delilah finally spoke again. "Yeah, I am." For so many reasons. The other girl might have said it mostly because he was good-looking, but there were so, SO many other reasons that Penelope knew she was lucky to have him. He was pretty amazing.

She wasn't about to get all sappy and mushy though, even if it was Valentine's Day. It seemed Delilah had her Valentine now anyway too, so Penelope would let her be.

The kind of smile that playing live was giving him. Bright and full of excitement.
Penelope sort of took turns between eating her pizza and dancing/swaying along to the rhythm of the songs, watching each band member at various times, though her eyes did linger the most on Ascanius even though he was positioned mostly behind the others. There was something about watching him seeming to get lost in his drumming that was really cool. She beamed up at him as she caught that smile he shot her way. He looked SO excited, and she was excited for him.

West and Nigel and Vesper were all really incredible too. They were really nailing these songs, even a couple she hadn't heard before but now liked quite a lot. And it was fun watching them get so into the music too. The love and passion for it really showed, y'know? Probably part of what made them so good.

And then...break time? Already? It hadn't felt like very long, but Penelope glanced down at her plate and realized she had in fact already eaten all of her pizza. Huh. Well okay. Time for more then. And maybe some lemonade or something too 'cause she was thirsty.

And then maybe a dance if Ascanius was up for it? Or it could wait until another break later if he wanted to chat with his bandmates and relax for a bit.

Leah watched absent-mindedly at a boy wandering around alone. She watched silently as Hope called him to their table, and started chatting with him like old friends. Only the atmosphere did not really seem like two old friends. Leah jolted out of her own thoughts back to the conversation.

She proceeded to answering Hope's first question. "I don't think we do this every year, do they?" She asked the boy, who apparently was not a first year, and should know more about the school events. "It would be good if we did it next year too, I might have a date." Might. "Although I guess it would get boring after a while. My parents were both in Hogwarts when they were young, and there were no Valentine Parties at that time."

"So... you guys know each other? Met in the summer?" Leah asked the two people. It looked like they had an incident, seeing Hope apologizing. She had known a lot of friends over the summer in Diagon Alley too, and most of them turned out good.

"Obviously I don't looooove Valentine's, I'm a single." Leah replied, pretending to look miserable and sighing into her knees. Actually, she did not mind much. But if she was single until her last year at Hogwarts, she would go crazy for sure. "But I'm glad this is a holiday, we get to have a party, hang around with friends, you know." Like right now!

His view on Valentine's Day? Now that was and interesting question. Ben would have thought his lack of red in his outfit was a certain sigh he wasn't exactly a fan. But maybe it wasn't as obvious as he had originally thought. "Definitely NOT the best thing on the planet," he answered, trying to think of his true feelings. It was kind of up in the air at the moment. "But I'm not sure what I really feel about it."

There was Adi...and Sophie. Over THERE. The Gryffindor turned away again not wanting to give them his attention, at least not at the moment. They were there on their own, it wasn't as if it was his business. No sir...not his. His friend was part of the Valentine-loving, coming as a couple group, NOT the single and on-their own group.

Oh, Leah was speaking up. Benny listened quietly as she spoke with Hope, only speaking up when she questioned them having met before. "Yeah...a rather clumsy incident at the ice cream parlor." But then clumsy was him. It was a wonder he didn't spend a lot of time in the Hospital wing, especially with the changes. His movements limited by the aches and pains of looking and feeling like he was ancient. As for her own views on the holiday, the Gryffindor had to admit there were some positives.

NOT hanging with friends though.

OWWWW loud noise.

The band was apparently ready to start. Ben couldn't help but be thankful that they weren't TOO close the stage but it certainly was gonna take some effort to deal with the loud music. He might just need to wander off if he needed a break from it.


Hope listened as Leah chimed in with her own thoughts on the school dance debate. She just shrugged. "I guess it would get boring. However, I would think that if I ever got the chance to help plan one I would love it. It would be so much fun." She was just a little crazy when it came to planning things. Everything. It was her job. Unofficially anyway.


Hope laughed and nodded. "Agreed. It isn't really the greatest holiday out there." Hope rolled her eyes playfully at Leah. "I guess if you want to look at like that." She was just stuck in the cootie phase still. Maybe. Just the thought of dating made her palms sweat and her stomach queasy and obviously she hadn't brought anyone to the dance and no one had asked her anyway.

The band was getting ready to start up and she shifted in her seat to give them her attention. "How cool is it that they actually have their own band formed just of Hogwarts students."

"Hey Marigold!" Toby replied cheerfully, giving her a wave and a smile. "This is Soph."

But then, was that kid her valentine? Toby gave him a smile too and then looked back to Sophie.

"D'you fancy a dance?" he suggested, brushing the remainders of the crumbs from his fingers,

So when the next song started - one of her favorites, by the way - she went over to talk to Toby.

"Sup," she said to him, grinning. HAI TOBY HAI. And his lady-friend too. Hi you.

And wait nobody else she knew. Welp.

Apparently a bonsai tree made up for that though. Cool.

He loosened his tie because... well... loose ties just looked better and checked his sleeves again. Yup. There were half rolled up. Just like his sister had instructed him. Perfect. Now all he needed was his... Goldilocks.

... was this a date? He wasn't sure. Probably not. She did say that she wanted to come to check out the person whose name was not Southeast.

He didn't have too long to think about it though before he found the girl he was looking for. "Hey. So... what exactly is fangirling and do I need to be at least three feet away from you at all times?"

"Sounds good to me," Sophie chimed, rising to her feet to give a big stretch of both arms upward, then she tugged down her jacket and stretched out her hips a bit. Rusty. Oh, Tobes had a friend - Soph smiled as the Hufflepuff came over and Tobes introduced her. "S'nice to meet you, Marigold. Cool name." She was getting deja vu, as if she'd already had this conversation once before with this girl she'd definitely seen around in classes - but her mind was foggy, and she wasn't sure if they'd ever properly met. Didn't matter, really, though.

A boy joined the Marigold girl, then, and they seemed to be dates for the night, so Sophie turned her attention back to her own sort-of-but-not-really-but-kind-of valentine, just as the band was wrapping up their first set. She gave them a long glance up on stage, clapped a bit, then smiled at Tobes and shrugged, "Yeah, s'long as you don't mind dancing to the tunes over that stereo system. Looks like the band's taking a break." She was still on her feet, though, and held out a hand expectantly to the third year. They were still gonna dance, right? "You've got moves to show me." Griiiin.

Finding food after the dance was okay with Dora too, since food never was a big priority of hers. She might end up grabbing a butterbeer before the night was over though.

Yes, that was the best she could do. Truth was she didn't really know why Vesper was giving Alice looks, and she also didn't care to. Didn't need to be having fights with another one of her closest friends, especially one she shared a dorm with. No thank you. "Just ignore her. Look at all the pretty boys up on stage instead." Like her boyfriend, he was looking dapper, yes? And Nigel. Dora would never be able to tell Blue enough how lucky she was to snag him. And of course Ascanius was a mighty fine looker himself, but she was never telling him that. Didn't need that over-sized ego of his being fed.

But what? Dora pouted a bit. In a totally mature way. "But I wanted to dance now. Aliiiiiiiice." She made dramatic grabby hands at her best.

Being in the back did have its advantages he was finding, yeah? 'Cause no one was really looking at him lose his mind in the music and throwing himself all over his drums to hit each beat with an almost animalistic intensity.

Note to self: before the next set...water. Lots of that.

As soon as Aerosmith was over, Ascanius took a moment to rest his elbows on his set and take a few soothing breaths. He was exhausted. Music was a lot about leaving what was inside into his hands and letting it make something beautiful. That would exhaust any kind of man.

So...even though he wasn't a fan of Vesper's girly mostly acoustic sounding song choices...he was thankful when Need You Now started. He was silently a fan of the way that West and Vesper's voices sounded together. And the music behind them was mellow enough with this song that the audience could really hear 'em.

But, y'know, he had to wait a bit until he came in with this song. Keys, guitar and bass then him.

When his part came up, Ascanius actually just leaned back and kept a steady, unchanging beat on the bass drum and one of his tom-toms. Nothing really major, but definitely driving enough to keep West and Vesper's vocals going strong.

He kept Nigel in the corner of his eye so that they could set the tempo together and started to jive a little with this song. Eyes closed. The whole bit.

When the song started to pick up a little, he drove it home with a little more force, but nothing too loud. Noise. Wasn't that what Vesper called it, yeah? See? He could do more then the noise thing. And then he calmed his cymbals as Vesper's piano played out the last piece of the song.

Then...he waited. The customary amount of time for the audience to settle and enjoy the ringing of the last note throughout the great hall. Y'know, applause right here was welcomed and even kind of expected 'cause their first set had been KILLER.

While West announced that they would be taking a brief break before their next set, Ascanius hopped up from behind his drum set and beelined straight for Nigel clapping him hard on the back with the world's STUPIDEST smile on his face. "We slayed it, man." Did he feel that? 'Cause Ascanius did.

And he even smiled at Vesper from beside Nigel, "Way to shred the keys, Ves-" That was weird, "-per." Better. Much better.

Now where was West? This was bro hug worthy. Did they FEEL that energy?


OOC. I have permission to BAND!Mod

When the last notes of the song faded away, Vesper shifted her emotional look into a beaming one, directing it at West...because how awesome was all this? They were doing so great and everyone looked to be enjoying themselves...but on that note, she needed to disappear for a moment. Regroup, get water...talk to Lottie...All those things.

In her excitement, the Ravenclaw did momentarily throw herself at Ascanius, giving him a HUGE hug...and then ruffling Nigel's hair before bouncing off the stage, not daring to look at West just now. Ves needed regrouping first...in the loo, maybe...without eyes on her. After that performance, they were sure to be...

SPOILER!!: Lottie!

A few moments later...

Reemerging with a beam back in place, she casually approached the Lottie, gesturing towards the food table. Ves was starving. "So.......?" Her face hurt from all the smiling. "How was it? Was it awful?" EEP!!!

Seeing water bottles, she snagged one. Water for her...and one would be making it's way back to the stage with her...

Yes, that was the best she could do. Truth was she didn't really know why Vesper was giving Alice looks, and she also didn't care to. Didn't need to be having fights with another one of her closest friends, especially one she shared a dorm with. No thank you. "Just ignore her. Look at all the pretty boys up on stage instead." Like her boyfriend, he was looking dapper, yes? And Nigel. Dora would never be able to tell Blue enough how lucky she was to snag him. And of course Ascanius was a mighty fine looker himself, but she was never telling him that. Didn't need that over-sized ego of his being fed.

But what? Dora pouted a bit. In a totally mature way. "But I wanted to dance now. Aliiiiiiiice." She made dramatic grabby hands at her best.
"Zero squared is zero. And zero is a real number, because you can take the root of it, see?" They were talking in circles, Alice's argument being more logical and her friend's being more about common sense (none of which she had, so this debate was valid). "None and zero are the same thing. They're both quantities of nothing." Like she wanted zero dances? No dances worked just as well.

And if she was an avoider, she wasn't really sure what Dora was. It was rather hard to keep the frustration with her best off her face, though Alice tried. Just another thing she shouldn't talk about. But the seventh year wasn't good as ignoring things like this, especially from people she had no affiliation with, so she was quite inclined to find out why. Planned to ask, even, when Vesper came down off that stage. Why not?

"Fine. Let's dance." At least then it'd be over with.

She laughed and smiled, laying one of her hands on his shoulder, “I told you I would be.” Annaleecia smirked at him and gave a small giggle. She looked up at him and smiled weakly. She really didn’t think the night could get any better… She had him by her side and she couldn’t be happier with it. She smiled then looked down before making up her mind and looked up at him again, kissing him lightly.

… And then the music stopped, along with her pulse she was sure… She quickly pulled back, “I… I’m so sorry…” She looked down mortified with herself and quickly pulled away from him, feeling like an idiot for slipping up. She heard his question but just shook her head weakly quickly running in the opposite direction, blinking away tears. She felt like such an idiot… She knew he didn’t feel the same way and she still… She couldn’t fight a small sob but kept going in the other way, not wanting to look back to see him probably filled with disgust at what she’d done.
"Oh it was? Hmm..i approve of the song." he smiled. "To be honest i have NO idea what my mom and dad's wedding song was." he said still dancing with her and swaying to the slow song. He saw her smiling and laughing and was glad to be with her tonight. It seemed like she needed it.

When the music stopped, he felt her soft lips press against his. He was too stunned to do anything. He just stood there at a loss for words. When they broke apart, then he heard Anna speak and she apologized. She didn't need to feel sorry. But now she was even crying? He didn't think she needed to cry, "Anna wait!....." he called out but she was already running. He ran to keep up with her. He eventually caught up with her and asked, "Anna...can we at least talk?" he asked her. "Here sit down at one of the tables i will get you some water and you can compose yourself?" he suggested.

She let her feelings get the better of her and she knew that was wrong. She sighed, Why couldn’t I just learn my lesson when Mom and Dad kicked me out? I’m an outcast… I’m meant to be alone… Some magic school isn’t going to change that…

"No, not real." Because Dora was sticking with the tangibility argument. A faulty one, maybe. But she didn't care. She paused for a moment to consider Alice's argument before responding with a bit of finality. "Two dances." Yes, she'd won.

Dora wasn't an avoider of virtually anything except this. No. She didn't want to talk about it, and Alice wasn't going to make her. She gave her best looks that where a mix between pleading and apology. Later, if they had to, she'd talk about it. Because she was certain Alice wouldn't let this go for long.

And she wanted a happy Alice for her dance, but whatever. She supposed she should be happy with whatever she could get in this moment. Dora took her hand and gave her a few tugs closer.

Sooooooooo, "Ah-mazing." One word. "You guys can actually play, and I've no words for you, honestly," not only does she play, but the girl also sings and while Lottie was aware of this, she also knew that it wasn't entirely easy to do. See, she was learning to play the guitar and... she couldn't sing at the same time. It was one or the other. At least for now, anyway.

Actually, she has words. "You're very talented, Ves." She supposed West and Ascanius, too, but she was currently talking to Vesper.

"Not to mention you look stunning." TRUE. And the Hogwartian was totally beaming. "How did you--?" Her question was undone, but only because she was gesturing to the flowers and petals and such.

"Very real. You're getting one." Dora might have won another dance if she was less grumpy but... not tonight.

And she wasn't going to try to make her. Alice said nothing in response, ignoring the pleading and apologetic looks. They didn't really mean anything, did they? And she didn't want to talk about it with Dora anyway. Wasn't worth it or whatever. If her friend wanted to be oblivious, she could be.

Letting herself be tugged, she tried to listen to what was on the sound system over the buzz of chattering students. 'Something' by the Beatles, it sounded like. It was one she liked... but Alice still didn't dance, so she just stood there and looked at the Ravenclaw.

She looked up at him as he spoke then shook her head, “Kace, you didn’t do or say anything wrong…” She rubbed her arms, not cold… just trying to calm herself down, “I’m not the best at hiding my feelings, so I’m not shocked you knew or anything… but I knew you didn’t feel the same way… and I just feel like such an idiot for what I did…”

She looked down and tried to blink away a few more tears, “And it’s not that I feel bad about it… just like I said, I feel stupid… I’ve never just jumped into doing something, especially if I knew the other person wasn’t there with me…” And maybe that was a little bit of a lie, considering she’d taken her sister back home without asking her permission but that was eons away from this situation. She looked up at him and gave a weak nod to his question though, still clearly embarrassed though. Anna had always wanted that first kiss to be special… and for her it was, it just kinda sucked for her that she couldn’t say it was that magical kiss that made everything change and made her life turn around… Hey she was still young after all, that’s kind of how she always pictured it happening.

Yoooooooooooooooo. Enough slumping around and feeling sorry for yourself, girl. Time to get up and feel the music. Yesss.

The band was a bit of break right now, but other music had replaced the temporary silence and it was still enough to get her pumped.

The 16 year-old made her way deep into the crowd where no one could see she was alone, but also where she can just completely let loose. She started bopping her head to the music, eventually turning to swishes of her head and hair from side to side. Once she felt the music in her bones, she was jumping up and down and swinging her arms side to side. Good, this is good.

By this point, Adelaide had meandered up to the stage to watch her friends perform. She danced along to the music, standing by the stage. She had found her other gathering of friends and just kind of stood with them. She smiled as she looked up at her buddies playing on stage.

She was quite proud of herself for actually knowing a lot of the music they were playing. But still. The thought and theme of this whole thing was still weighing on her. Maybe she could sneak out without her friends noticing. She doubted that at this point.

"Of Course!" he grinned, "It's the pastries! It's always the pastries fault!" When getting to know new people, Andrew often worried that his creativity and eccentricity would be seen as weirdness by others, but he now felt confident that this Justine girl was just as brilliantly creative as he had always been told he was.

"That may be true, Justine." He replied when she told him she practically shouted at the macaroons. "But who could possibly blame you after the sort of mishap they caused?" He joked. "I think the macaroons deserve all the shouting and yelling they're getting after playing such an elaborate prank on us!" He smirked.

Andrew could not help but smile when he noticed a slight tinting of Justine's cheeks. Had he made her blush? He had already assumed that was the case before the color had even completely rushed into her face, and words could not describe how adorable he felt it was that she would blush because of something he said. She did have a lovely accent, and Andrew found her captivating. "Oh, of course! You can speak more English and less French if you really want to get rid of that gorgeous accent, but I think it makes you sound unique.. Special." He chortled. His laughter was not to be mistaken for lack of sincerity, because if Andrew was anything, he was sincere.

Justine's corruption of the common phrase made him laugh, but not because she mispronounced the idiom, but because he found it incredibly cute. "The tip of my tongue, you mean?" He corrected her with a smile as wide as any Hogwarts had ever seen. "Yes, it was right there, right on the tip of my tongue." He added playfully.

At this point, Andrew really wasn't sure whether he should continue telling Justine about his family's large estate and their enormous private library. He wasn't sure if anything he had to say about his adventures surrounded by all those books was of any interest to anyone but himself. There were very few things Andrew found more enjoyment in than reading, and while it was all glorious to him, he knew he had bored people to tears with his endless rants in the past, and he certainly didn't want to bore Justine.

"Well, yeah.. The linguistics section is massive. My parents speak.." He decided to continue, raising a hand to count on his fingers while silently mouthing the words that would form the ending to his sentence. "..Ffffffive different languages each?" He shrugged. Even he wasn't sure anymore. "And they're always learning new ones."

There were few people in the world that appreciated the beauty of language as much as Andrew's parents did. Their passion for the subject was matched only by their determination to pass their lust for learning onto every single one of their 16 children.

"Myself.. I only speak a little French.." He said, a little ashamed that he wasn't fluent like his mother was.


"Exactly! Oui! It is always the pastries, 'ow ever did we trust zhem?" Justine said, laughing along with the Ravenclaw boy, finding it nearly impossible to keep a straight face, partly because of how silly they were being, but partly because Andrew's laughter was seriously infectious.
Justine was delighted when Andrew not only went along with her ploy of accusing the macaroons, but even continued on to admonish them with the same enthusiasm and silliness that she had herself accosted them with. It was really refreshing to see someone who didn't care about being seen as unusual or strange.

"Well said Andrew, I zhink, per'aps, in this case, it was warranted, possibly even necessary!" Justine said, her dark eyes narrowing in distrust as she gazed upon the offending macaroons (though she had eaten many, there were still quite a few left on her plate, which seemed extraordinary to the young woman). "I do believe, zhey will need punishment, of zee 'ighest order, what do you suggest?" Justine asked, raising up the plate for Andrew so that he might deliver the verdict.

And now he was complimenting her accent again, telling her it was gorgeous, that it made her sound unique and special, and what was he getting at? And why was she blushing? She didn't blush, she wasn't that sort of girl, blushing and flirting and... Oh for Circe's sake, she was flirting, she hadn't realized it, but now that she actually thought it through, her coy smiling, playing with her hair, and blushing? Yep, she was flirting, what on earth had come over her. She suddenly felt very self-conscious, a feeling as foreign and unfamiliar to her as having a tail would feel. Just relax, stop acting so weird. Justine thought, slightly admonishing herself. "You really are too kind Andrew, I cannot possibly accept such praise," Justine said, smiling softly up at the young man, suddenly uncertain as to what she should do with her limbs. "You 'ave a very nice accent as well, w'ere are you from?" the French girl asked, quite aware that she had barely asked the young man any questions about himself.

When Andrew laughed, she knew immediately she must have said something wrong, her feeling was confirmed when the boy playfully corrected her by using the correct term. Justine laughed at her error, her hand reaching up to her mouth in a slightly embarrassed gesture. "Oui, zat is wat I meant, why, wat did I say?" Justine said archly, with a haughty look that did not reach her green eyes, which practically sparkled with mischief.

Justine's eyes were as wide as dinner plates as she listened to the young man, his parent spoke five languages? And she had thought she was accomplished for speaking two. "Five? Une, deux, trois, quatre, cinq? My goodness, but zhey are very talented, i see now why you 'ave such a good ear," Justine exclaimed, quite impressed by his parents knowledge and evident love of learning. They seemed like very clever and fascinating people, much like their son. "Obviously, you inherited zeir intelligence and love of learning," Justine said, speaking quite sincerely. Not to mention rather cute, no really, where had that thought come from? Justine wasn't sure, but that didn't stop her from placing the blame on those delicious, but obviously evil macaroons.

"Pensez-vous? Vous m'avez vraiment impressionné maintenant." Justine said, speaking in her native French to give the boy a very small, playful test.

Actually, she has words. "You're very talented, Ves." She supposed West and Ascanius, too, but she was currently talking to Vesper.

"Not to mention you look stunning." TRUE. And the Hogwartian was totally beaming. "How did you--?" Her question was undone, but only because she was gesturing to the flowers and petals and such.

"West likes to practice a lot. So, we were more than prepared...but it's different in front of a crowd." The adrenaline was still coursing through her body; her hands shaking slightly with the excitement. Oh, yes. The excitement had yet to wear off...Vesper was convinced she could perform everyday for the remainder of her life and be okay with that. As long as this feeling never went away...

...and Lottie was telling her she was talented. Well, that meant a lot coming from the Hufflepuff girl. "I just do my best." Even with all the confidence in the world, Vesper would never be completely comfortable with compliments about her talent. She was funny like that. "I think we're all better together...than we would be alone." Individually, you know?

...and gosh, that got a massive blush...A blush, but also a wide grin. She'd hoped people thought so. West had told her as much...but BLUSH..."Shhhh..." Vesper glanced around, slightly alarmed. Had anyone heard that? It wasn't surprising being asked about the flowers, though. Ves did wonder when she'd get asked about them. Her face relaxed. "....I spent about...three hours sketching these out on my skin, charmed them to stay in case sweating happened..." Like those henna tattoos she'd gotten before. Ves lifted her right arm to show the ones scattered there "There's a charm on them, too, to make them flash from red to pink...I needed something to fit the party theme..."

Valentine's day was stoopid. Her mind wouldn't be changed.....which reminded her..."Where's Tag? at?" Lottie was seeing Tag, right? Why wasn't he here with her? "Does he think Valentine's day is lame, too?"

Sure most people would have assumed that it was from being all wound up to the point where he was upset but there was much more to the story than that, problem was he hadn’t even been sure anyone would want to hear it. Most people thought badly of him already so really there wasn’t much of a point in giving them something to find hilarious for some reason when it really wasn’t. There was absolutely nothing funny about certain things.

Before there was the chance to even consider how to arrange his words, he felt her pulling him away from the stage; potentially so that he wasn’t about to be a distraction to the band or anyone else for that matter. But there almost seemed like there was another reason for why she had her hand on his wrist altogether, one that probably could have been figured out later. As she had started talking, he only stayed quiet. How appropriate. “But I also didn’t have to interrupt your conversations since that makes me look bad, even if I’m not a bad guy; I know manners. I just… I don’t know.” he managed to reply, his words steadily back to normal instead of the stutter returning which would have only proven that he was feeling really bad about things. “I wouldn’t give people I didn’t know my life story anyway, that’s not a conversational subject after all.” The point of the matter was that she was right, even if he knew that just trying to seem friendly sometimes really was the biggest challenge of all. Thinking back to earlier when he was stuttering, he knew that giving Lily the explanation as to what causes that to happen definitely was a smart idea but it wasn’t going to happen here, it could wait. Especially when she asked another question which only brought a smile to his face. “But of course. I owe you a dance anyway from those lessons.” he replied then slid his arms around her waist.
It really had been a last ditch effort to try and save the situation from completely falling apart, but Lily figure dif her simple request hadn’t worked, Austin could go hide. She wasn’t sure what else she could do. She’d tried to explain her earlier irritation, which had waned a little as the band had continued playing their set. Obviously it didn’t matter if her boyfriend had interrupted her conversation when said conversation had ended. She was still curious what he would say if she actually did get invited to jam with West sometime, but then she knew it was innocent. Just music, and no different from any of the other times she’d played for people, aside from the fact nobody else had really been playing along with her before. Singing didn’t count. She rarely sang for people anyway, although somehow that rule had sort of been broken a little since she’d sang for Alec and Abbi since she’d been at Hogwarts. Not really anyone else though, so it still counted as a general rule. A general rule that she’d started to realize had counted toward Austin, and that seemed weird. He’d sang for her after all.

Maybe that manners thing went both ways, but she knew she’d still had a point. He shouldn’t alienate his dorm mates, if only because he’d still have to live with them for another year after this term. She might not have really talked much to her own dorm mates, but she was open to it if they’d wanted to talk to her. “You just need to find a way to show them that you aren’t a bad guy. I know you aren’t, but sometimes people don’t want to spend the time digging,” she replied, even as he had seemed to relax a little as they’d started sort of dancing. She still didn’t think he needed to necessarily talk to them. Just acknowledge they existed. The rest of the discussion hadn’t really needed to be responded to, especially as the Aerosmith song had finished and then Vesper had started singing the Lady Antebellum song. Instead of talking, she’d just moved closer to Austin until she could rest her head on his shoulder, and she’d stayed that way until the song had finished and West had announced they were taking a break between sets. At that point, she’d lifted her head again and stepped back a little. “What do you want to do now?”

.......at least they weren't playing Killing Me Softly.

Humming along to SOME of the songs the band was playing anyway, Olly tried to stand on her tip-toes to see where Schuyler was. Only that proved to be quite difficult, seeing as 1) she was way shorter than everyone else here today it seemed (WHY did all the girls have to wear heels????? okay, she didn't mind Schuyler wearing them because she looked VERY HOT but the others...) and 2) it hurt. A lot.

So she'd have to find her the old-fashioned way. By actually walking around, looking for her.

Occasionally stopping to look up at the stage, Olly decided that she'd definitely HAVE to see them play elsewhere some time. When they weren't just playing cheesy love songs. Because honestly, they were really good. Also they looked pretty hot on stage there.

Anyway, Schuyler, she was looking for her girlfriend, yes.

And she wasn't going to try to make her. Alice said nothing in response, ignoring the pleading and apologetic looks. They didn't really mean anything, did they? And she didn't want to talk about it with Dora anyway. Wasn't worth it or whatever. If her friend wanted to be oblivious, she could be.

Letting herself be tugged, she tried to listen to what was on the sound system over the buzz of chattering students. 'Something' by the Beatles, it sounded like. It was one she liked... but Alice still didn't dance, so she just stood there and looked at the Ravenclaw.
Dora was okay with the one dance too, or at least she was until the dance actually started and Alice was acting very much indifferent to the dancing or anything really, more so than before. She looked back at her best for a moment before dropping her hand and deflating a bit.

"I don't want the dance anymore."

"Yeah? thanks, you look great too." 'GREAT'!?!?! of every word he could of used to compliment her he went with great. he should just turn around and leave now.

and he was about to just excuse himself when Delilah was pulling him in for a hug, a friend hug he could tell but it was a hug none the less, he put an arm around her, returning it, trying not to pass out over all the things when he felt her lips touch his cheek briefly,


................

.

What.. Was. Air.

He felt heat rise to his cheeks quickly as he tried his damn hardest to play it cool but he couldnt help the small smirk that came out of no where smacking its self on his face, words we're able to function at this point and he just found himself....... Staring at her...

Good Going, Walker.


"Thanks, Jer." Delilah said with a bright grin but she couldn't help but stare at him for a minute. He seemed.. weird. And blushy. OH. Why, exactly? Was it because of her? ... Wait, no. Why would be blushing because of HER? Yeah, no. The girl mentally shook her head.

"Um.. are you okay?" Because now he was staring right back at her. She frowned, wondering if she had something on her face.

Lottie just smirked a little and said, "Had to come for the band," wasn't it obvious? Wasn't that the reason why everyone was here?? Yeah, we know, still. And... she wasn't one for Valentine's day, anyway, sooooo....

She said the appropriate 'Thanks' and 'You, too' before it was time to listen to the band and for Delilah to dance with.... who was that? She didn't know his name, and she was having trouble trying to remember if Delilah had mentioned names when they talked about...

...Jeremiah, you're so quiet.


Delilah just EYED Lottie but remained quiet. Now wasn't the time.. later. Dels had a few questions for her dorm-mate. "Yeah, I decided to come just for the band as well." And it totally turned out to be worth it. 'Cause The dead Kneazles were freaking brilliant. All of them. Really. Lottie knew she didn't have a Valentine..

And speaking of dance lessons, now Delilah was asking him if he wanted to dance. "Well, if you insist..." he replied playfully. And actually, now he DID feel glad to have taken those dance lessons last month, or else he wouldn't have known what to do with himself as he took Delilah's hand and positioned himself in front of the girl, his other hand coming to rest on her waist.

"I don't mean to brag, but Lux and I did come in second place on that competition, so you're dancing with a pro," he joked with a playful smile as the two teenagers began to move along to the rhythm of the wonderfully depressing slow music. It was a good thing he'd found Delilah or else the boy would've totally bailed after the fifth song about some unhappy bloke's heartbreak.


Dancing lessons. Yes, Louis. What a waste! Thankfully for her, she kind of knew some basic dancing already so those lessons never really enhanced her dancing skills.. except that she got to dance with the pretty Nigel, which was quite enjoyable.

OKAY. So, they were going to be danciiiiiing. She blushed as Lou took her hand, hoping no one would notice that. Especially Lottie. Delilah placed the other hand on his shoulder and swayed to the song, smiling up at the boy. This was funnnn. Yeah. Wait, was she still blushing?

... And soon, it was break time. Sigh. Didn't they JUST start dancing? She pulled away, although her hand was still in his and she wasn't letting go. For now. "I'm hungry. Want to grab something to eat?"

In her excitement, the Ravenclaw did momentarily throw herself at Ascanius, giving him a HUGE hug...and then ruffling Nigel's hair before bouncing off the stage, not daring to look at West just now. Ves needed regrouping first...in the loo, maybe...without eyes on her. After that performance, they were sure to be...


After regrouping with his band, Ascanius' field of vision momentarily tore away from his bandmates and into the audience to look for a few faces. So when Vesper threw herself at Ascanius and pressed him into a tight hug, he was not only rushed at on the side...he was basically blindsided.

WOAH. Vesper was hugging him. He just awkwardly stood there until she let him go and moved onto Nigel. Gigs did weird things to all of them. He blamed the rush.


SPOILER!!: Pen

He looked SO excited, and she was excited for him.

And then maybe a dance if Ascanius was up for it? Or it could wait until another break later if he wanted to chat with his bandmates and relax for a bit.


As soon as he was all done talking to his band and passing 'round congrats to their first set, Ascanius jumped down from the stage and beelined straight for the brunette in the front who he had seen throwing her hair 'round. Slipping his arms around her from behind, he set his chin on her shoulder and smirked, "Hey, nice moves."

He was gonna stay she moved to the drum beat, but that was just his ego.

And the truth.

Anyway, he didn't have long, but he wanted her opinion. It was important.


SPOILER!!: Alice

From behind Pen, he threw a glance at Alice and beamed. She looked a little sour, but he was on a performance high. Didn't notice.

At that point, she’d lifted her head again and stepped back a little. “What do you want to do now?”
Dancing right now only quelled the frustrations that he was feeling from everything that had just gone on, Austin knew that without a question about it that Lily was right and honestly it would have been a pretty ridiculous idea to try to argue with logic. Let alone logic coming from his girlfriend. But without explaining the reason why he found it difficult to try to be open to people he didn’t exactly know, all of the logic in the world wouldn’t have made much sense. “The question though is how to do that, I mean the only reason that you know I’m not a bad guy is because we’ve talked a lot and plus I haven’t done anything to prove otherwise. Not that I plan on it either since you deserve not to be dealing with bad people.” he said, only continuing to dance which kept from any chance of getting annoyed by things. Sure all of this could have been avoided had he at least said hi to people but seeing as that was a challenge in of itself; wouldn’t really be happening anytime soon without finding some way which wouldn’t have ended up in a total disaster. Why did this have to be so confusing? It couldn’t have been straightforward like music was.

Not a single word was said as they kept dancing together, but there was nothing that needed to be said since right now practically had been as close to perfect as was humanly possible; he didn’t want to think about anything else that ruined the moment. Well until the band had taken a break for the time being which he clearly understood since there was no way that anyone could keep playing songs without needing a rest. “Well, why don’t we get something to eat and just talk some more? I think that there’s a lot I could tell you, some that can wait until later but at least it’s not silence.” he commented before moving his hands from her waist and simply taking her hand in one of his for now. There was nothing else that he had wanted to do, since leaving here wasn’t an option.
