Stationed on the shore of the Lake, with light reflecting on them from the floating pavilion on the Lake, are three beautifully decorated carriages, following the theme of the Masquerade Ball. There are comfortable light green leather covered seats wide enough to accommodate two. The carriage themselves are all painted in colours of leaves during spring time. The unusual thing about these carriages is that there seemed to be no space for coachman but there are the majestic forms of Hippogriffs tethered to the carriages, one Hippogriff for each.
Step right up into the carriage with someone or solo if you choose to ride alone. Either way the Hippogriffs will lead you up to the front gates of the castle on a path which is decorated to look like a forest. There is no need to bow or make eye contact with the Hippogriffs or even tell them where to go. The moment you are seated, they will begin the journey and bring you right back out to the Lake once the trip was completed. Be on the lookout for any exciting plant or animal life and enjoy the ride!
OOC: Please feel free to let your charrie be creative in what they see along the path but it should not be anything too extreme.
Cosgrach had to quickly decide who he wanted to be: she KNEW he was older, so that didn't leave him many options, but - AHA, Botros!
He cleared his throat and tried to mimick the old man's voice, though he doubted Soph would notice the difference.
"What foggy brain do you mind, Ms. Brown?" he asked softly. What foggy brain, indeed? HEHEHE.
......
......?
Okay, so WHOEVER this was, they had some kind of sense of humor, because by CALLING her "Ms. Brown," they definitely just told her that no, the charm did NOT work on the professors because HE knew who she was, and by asking what charm she meant while he CLEARLY knew, he was a joker. So that eliminated... eh, probably the herbology guy... Thompson... Botros, too... which left Flamsteed, Culloden, or Quigley, the Hogwarts trio of funny male professors. So, no matter WHICH one it was, she was in good company, and a smile spread across the fifth year's face.
"Okay, so you do know who I am. Which... answers my question, in a roundabout way. Thank you." She paused. "Also, because of what you just did, I know that you... are either Flamsteed, Culloden, or Quigley. You're the only ones with a sense of humor." Hehehehe. And... all three professors knew of her very close friendship with Tobes, so... they would help her out, wouldn't they? Without steering her wrong? "Can you point me in the direction of Tobes, then? Tobias?" In case it was Quigley, who would be unfamiliar with her nickname for the boy. "Have you seen him? Or... could you remind me of what he looks like so I can find him for myself? We didn't come together, and he hasn't seen me yet, and I want him to see how dazzling I look tonight, y'know? So..." She looked hopeful.

SPOILER!!: Adi
Of course the Hippogriff ride area was going to be the FIRST stop for this Puffer. Plus he had to stalk all the places to make sure all was going smoothly. Anyyyywayyy. Back to the Griffs. Just look at them... so awesome they were.
Adi was pleased to see students lingering around. He knew they would enjoy the ride that awaited them. The Prefects had worked so hard to replicate the Forest. Strolling a bit closer, kept his eyes on the students. None of them were being rude to his Thompson's Hippogriffs', right? RIGHT?
Goody.
Is this what a show dog felt like right before the show? AJ had all but outright refused to wear a dress. If it wasn't for Adi being a prefect there would have been no way that she would have agreed to borrow one of Angel's dresses. It didn't end there either because her hair had been burned into submission. Why did girls do this? It took waaaay too long, and she felt off.
AJ took a deep breath in and imagined her boyfriend. At least she wasn't wearing heels. That was NOT going to happen no matter how hard Angel tried to convince her otherwise. As AJ got closer she noticed that they were going to the ball in style. There were hippogriffs which had Adi written all over it. Speaking of which, where was her boyfriend?
Figuring that he most likely had already done the carriage ride since he was sort of in charge of this ball, she walked over to catch her own ride. Oh look, there was batman and she just so happened to be cat woman. Who better to catch a ride with? "Too bad they aren't unicorns." That alone would have made the whole having to dress up thing worth it.

Everything looked alright here. The Griffs were happy and so seemed to be the people lurking around... whoever they were. He turned to leave wondering if he would be able to find AJ among everyone. Of course he WOULD be able to recognise her. The necklace and hand band he had given her last year were things she never took off. Plus her hair. And she was not here. He was sure of that.
As he started to leave, his eyes noticed someone dressed in a black dress. Adi didn't really pay attention to the girl. There was no way that was AJ. But the many lights around shone on something around her neck making him pause. A unicorn necklace! His eyes went to her hand. There in plain sight was the Rock N Roll band. And the converse... it was her signature footwear.
"Gosh. She looks like a rock goddess,'' he thought. His eyes didn't move for a second away from her. He had never seen her in a dress before. She looked STUNNING! He kept staring even as she approached him and started talking. But he couldn't reply. For once this always happy, bouncy, talkative badger was SPEECHLESS.
Oh yeah. Unicorn talk! Definitely AJ. But Adi could still not get himself to start talking. Major staring still going on here. LOL. He hadn't even realised he had been holding his breath... AJ looked breath taking. Literally. But, but, but he couldn't stand there looking like an idiot.
He cleared his throat and changed his voice up a bit. "Uh, yeah. Of course a girl would want unicorns.'' Hehe. Now that he had found his voice, he was going to have some fun here. No chance of her recognising him there. Plus he wasn't wearing his glasses. "Think you can handle a carriage ride led by Hippogriffs?"

Okay, maybe she made a mistake in approaching batman because apparently he didn't have the ability to talk. All of the staring made her wonder if she had something stuck in her teeth. Maybe she looked as dumb as she felt. AJ was not one to be self conscious, and she cared even less about what others thought about her, but this dress made her very vulnerable. "The dress is stupid, right?" She knew it, and it was okay if he said it. No offense would be taken. "My sister made me wear it, and I'd rather be in jeans." That was the understatement of the century.
Look. The mystery boy had a voice after all. A girl? Snort. "I think you mean anybody with taste would want a unicorn." It wasn't a girl thing. It was an awesome thing. More snorting happened. "Oh gee... I don't know. Those are some big ol' scary creatures and I'm just a dainty girl." She was kidding of course, but maybe he didn't know that. "I love hippogriffs, and I can't wait. Shall we?"
AJ was ready to see what the ball had to offer in the form of food. She really hoped it wasn't all fancy because she would kill for a taco. Somehow she figured the food was going to be a bit nicer than that though.
It was then that she got a good look at who she was to be sharing a carriage with. Man, he was handsome, and that suit fit him just right. AJ instantly felt guilty because this wasn't her boyfriend, but goodness gracious he was easy on the eyes. It was her turn to stare without shame.

Sauntering down to the event, his eyes first picked up on the hippogriffs so he had to go over and snag himself a seat. And he left room for anyone who wanted to join.
But how did you make them go? He bounced in his seat encouragingly. "Let's go guys!"
THERE WERE HIPPOGRIFF RIDES!!!! We'll, Hippogriff carriage rides but still, they were rides and they had Hippogriffs and really the third year would be silly to even try to stay away. Adjusting his owl like mask, Kyroh glanced around for a free seat in a carriage. A lot of them were full but he managed to spot one beside a boy who seemed kind of familiar?
Maybe?
Either way the Ravenclaw tapped the boy on the shoulder. "D'you mind of I join you for the ride?"

Adi's voice had abandoned him Try as he might to utter one word, nothing came out. He merely shrugged in reply. So this was Angel's doing, huh? Another confirmation that this was indeed AJ. Anyway, good going, Angelfish! But obviously she had failed in the shoes department. Not that Adi really cared since AJ's style was one of the reasons he loved her.
What Adi really wanted to do was choke out his laughter to AJ's reactions to what he was saying. Did yal know how SUPER hard it was for him to keep his amusement hidden. He bit down on his lower lip to keep it from curling upwards. "Well, I'm Batman,'' he spoke up, trying to imitate Batman's voice. "You're safe with me.'' Look at that he was getting more words out though stares kept happening.
Adi stepped up to one of the carriages then held out his hand to help AJ up. After helping her in, he got in beside her. The spells cast around the area were working just right. She hadn't remembered that he would be dressed in a Batman mask.
The Hippogriffs did their job. The moment the passengers were seated, their appointed Griff took off, carriage in tow. "You look great, by the way.'' Adi snuck a side glance at the girl beside him, catching her looking at him. She wouldn't recognise him, riiiight?

Words seemed to fail him again, and AJ couldn't help but wonder if the person behind this mask was someone that she knew. A name came to mind, and before she could stop herself, a question was hurtling out of her mouth. "Is it you, Zander?" He was always a man of few words, and he had been known to clam up around her. Truth be told AJ most likely frightened him.
AJ smiled up at him. Well, Batman, let's get this show on the road." His imitation was pretty spot on too. "Nice impersonation... catwoman approves." Too bad she didn't have any cat ears for her costume. Oh well, it was a minor flaw.
"Such a gentleman, batman." AJ took hold of his hand and heaved herself into the carriage. Once her companion was beside her, she looked out the window. There were tons of lights, and it really did look gorgeous. Then the mystery man complimented her, and in spite of it all she beamed. "Thank you. You look very handsome yourself." It was the truth.
Soon, the carriage started to move, and AJ couldn't help but to be amazed by the view. It got better and better with every inch forward. "It's beautiful." Looking back at batman a glimpse of something out of his window caught her eye. "Oh, look," she said as she leaned over him to get closer to his window. Realizing that she was practically in his lap, she sat back up. "I'm sorry. It's just I thought I saw a unicorn." She could stay on her side of the carriage.

Honestly, she hadn't been to the buffet yet, avoiding it purposefully to keep from getting food on her mask. So yeah. But she had caught that bit about the prefects. "Nah, I really don't think so. The Headmistress and Professor Flamsteed seem really fond of Puck as prefect and I'll be a sixth year next term, so the ship has sailed on that." As much as she really wanted that badge, it just wasn't going to happen.
Anyway, enough about that. "So, anything new in the world of Muggles?" Not so subtle changing of subject completed, mmmhmm.
The Headmistress? Annie opened her mouth to contradict everything the sixth year was saying, sixth year GRYFFINDOR that was, since she'd just revealed her house, but quickly shut it. "Oiiiii there's always the Head Girl spot," she cheered her on anyway, since that seemed like the Moxley thing to do. "I was never a prefect myself, y'know, too busy MAKIN' FRIENDS and PLAYIN' PRANKS up in the Tower." Bunz guffawed again though gosh, her abs were getting tired of all these belly laughs.
So, uh, Muggles.... Was it just her or were the crickets particularly loud outside tonight?
"Nothing new with those Muggles, y'know, they're just being Muggley, as usual, Mugging it up with their Mugglefaces," she made another awkward attempt at humor. "McMuggley with their fellytones and deskwriters."

Zander? Hehe. Nice guess, AJ. Adi did know his fellow prefect did speak less. By the way, now that he was slowly getting his speech back, it was DIFFICULT for him to say so few words. The moment he got bubbly and talkative AJ would know it was him. "Not Zander. But I am a Gryffindor fifth year.'' How was his imitation of Benny's voice? Because that's whom he had in mind. Adi was sticking to someone he knew well. That way he could be more convincing.
Was that who AJ had told him she'd be almost dressed like? Catwoman? Man, as much as he tried to remember, it proved futile. Oh well. "I aim- I mean I'm glad you approve.'' Oh gosh. He almost said the phrase that would have AJ recognise him IMMEDIATELY. That was another way to figure him out. LOL.
"I have my moments, Catwoman. Thank you.'' Adi supposed he did look good. Cue more side glances. He turned to look out of the window. Darn, he did want to run his mouth right about now with chatter. This speaking less thing was hard, yo! And then she was leaning over him "No worries. It sounds like you're obsessed with unicorns.'' His eyes were still focused on outside. He recognised some of the plants around since there were similar to the ones in the Greenhouses. Not the dangerous ones, of course.

It was so Zander underneath that mask. All AJ needed now was confirmation. Honestly, it didn't matter who it was because she liked all of her fellow students. In a perfect world it would be Adi, but if it were him he would have told her by now. Of course, he wouldn't know it was her either. It was pretty exciting not knowing who she was sitting by. It could be Airey for all she knew. Not Zander? What? She was sure it was him. Maybe he was just telling her that though to keep the air of surprise going. "That's what Zander would say" Let's just say that she believed him. Another fifth year Gryffindor that didn't speak much. AJ hit her head with the palm of her hand once a light bulb went off in her head. "Benny!!! I can't believe I didn't notice you." Phew. She was here with one of her best friends. "I wonder where everybody else is." That was one downfall to not knowing who was who.
Oh goodness... she was drooling over Benny earlier. She bit her bottom lip, and looked out her side of the carriage while she replied back to him. "Don't mention it." This was awkward. The lion blew out air and pushed the thought to the back of her mind.
"I can see that." Benny was known to be a gentleman, so this wasn't the least bit surprising to her. AJ looked back over to who she thought was Benny. "Obsessed doesn't even begin to cover it. I am in LOVE." She could feel her eyes glazing over a bit. As they continued to travel down the path, AJ looked out at the scenery. "It looks just like a forest." Magic was a beautiful thing. "Wooooow." It looked like they had reached their destination, and boy was it breathtaking. This tomboy was impressed even if this wasn't her sort of thing.

"Er....wait, what?" McMuggley?
Heather was pretty sure now that this WASN'T Professor Moxley. Because what Muggle Studies professor in their right mind would refer to Muggles that way? Also, the professor would know that it was telephone, not fellyphone. So, that was Moxley, Morgan and Glendower eliminated, as well as all the male professors. Which just left Bellaire, the healer, and..........
"Headmistress Truebridge?!" Oh Merlin, this was embarrassing. "Um.." Yeah, she couldn't think of anything to say. She was also frozen in place from the embarrassment, so exiting the carriage was out of the question. Meep. Was her face red?

In a perfect world it would be Adi, but if it were him he would have told her by now. Of course, he wouldn't know it was her either. It was pretty exciting not knowing who she was sitting by. It could be Airey for all she knew. Not Zander? What? She was sure it was him. Maybe he was just telling her that though to keep the air of surprise going. "That's what Zander would say" Let's just say that she believed him. Another fifth year Gryffindor that didn't speak much. AJ hit her head with the palm of her hand once a light bulb went off in her head. "Benny!!! I can't believe I didn't notice you." Phew. She was here with one of her best friends. "I wonder where everybody else is." That was one downfall to not knowing who was who.
Oh goodness... she was drooling over Benny earlier. She bit her bottom lip, and looked out her side of the carriage while she replied back to him. "Don't mention it." This was awkward. The lion blew out air and pushed the thought to the back of her mind.
"I can see that." Benny was known to be a gentleman, so this wasn't the least bit surprising to her. AJ looked back over to who she thought was Benny. "Obsessed doesn't even begin to cover it. I am in LOVE." She could feel her eyes glazing over a bit. As they continued to travel down the path, AJ looked out at the scenery. "It looks just like a forest." Magic was a beautiful thing. "Wooooow." It looked like they had reached their destination, and boy was it breathtaking. This tomboy was impressed even if this wasn't her sort of thing.
Did Zander know how to lie? Adi wasn't sure but hey! His imitation of his guy bestie's voice seemed to be passable. MISSION ACCOMPLISHED! He flashed a faint smile. Benny wasn't known for giving big, goofy grins. But what Adi would not do was confirm nor deny AJ's guess. He never lied to her and wasn't about to start to doing so now. She was just a little misled right now. Hehe. "I don't know who you're talking about.'' Because he was also going to pretend he didn't know who she was.
"Something wrong?" Adi/Benny questioned, not at all knowing about the thoughts running through his girlfriend's head. Obviously not. And it also worked out that his bestie had the chivalrous attribute of a Hufflepuff. It was one of the reasons the two boys can pass as brothers.
In love? Well, well, WELL, it wasn't the first time Adi got passed over for an animal and it certainly would not be the last time. Might as well get used to it, Adi. "I thought you were in love with Adi.'' Just look at her with that look on her face. Adi's biggest competition was unicorns. LOL.
"Yeah, the prefects did a great job, didn't they? I think I see some of those Talking Toadstools over there,'' the Puffer said and pointed out of the window towards a part of the 'forest' where the fungi were spread out apart from each other.
And look at that! They had come to the end of the ride! Well, the part that lead them to the Castle at least. Now it was time for the trip back to the Grounds. "That was an enjoyable trip, wasn't it?"

Blech, she wasn't a fan of this spell situation. She had no problem talking to people she didn't know, but when you'd made a ton of effort already through the years picking out the ones that were worth your time, it was kind of annoying, and she'd come here wanting to spend time with her friends and what was wrong with that? She felt... at a loss, being so anonymous. Anonymity felt too much like irrelevance for her liking, and that didn't feel good at all.
Ruby hadn't planned on coming out here alone, but she wasn't having as much luck as she was accustomed to inside. APPARENTLY her face was useful when it came to attracting male attention. Not that she hadn't known that, but like, she was okay with a bit of objectification SOMETIMES, and she looked nice in her dress, right? Anyway, she'd decided she'd try and do the carriage thing.
She waited for an empty one, and hopefully company so she wouldn't be sitting in one all alone and lame.
Lame was soooo not her style.

She had a sort of funny feeling that someone was trying to have a good time at her expense. Was this really Benny? Had she been right in guessing Zander? Was the person behind the mask even really a Gryffindor? "Sure you don't." AJ could play that game too. "Well, mystery man, you sure know how to keep a girl on her toes."
He meant besides her wearing a dress, she assumed. "I'm just thinking about food. I hope they have good stuff versus fancy food." What she said wasn't a lie because she had been thinking about food. AJ just failed to mention everything that was spinning around in her head at the moment. Nothing wrong with that.
The next thing that came out of his mouth made her head swivel to look at him dead on. For a second she was going to out herself, but at the last second she decided to give him a taste of his own medicine. "Who's Adi?" Oh, this was fun. "Ohhh, you mean that Hufflepuff prefect. He has a girlfriend. Why would you think I loved him?" Maybe this was really Benny after all. It could still be Zander as well because he knew a lot about her too. Plus, her and Adi dating wasn't exactly secret, but being able to know it was her underneath her costume would take someone who knew her VERY well.
AJ nodded. "They really did. It looks amazing." She was proud of her boyfriend, but she couldn't tell this dude that. She looked over to where he was looking and smiled. She too spotted a talking toadstool. Angel would love this scenery. She couldn't help but to wonder where she was. It was funny to think that the two of them had gotten ready together, but they wouldn't recognize each other if they were standing inches from one another.
A smile was planted on her face. "It was a great ride." AJ enjoyed it very much. The only thing that could make this better was if Adi was the one sitting by her side. Whoever was beside her wasn't bad company though.

Alright, so he couldn't exactly go ahead pretending he didn't know who she was now that he had mentioned Adi. "I haven't seen them. Or maybe I have but I just didn't recognise them. I'll try looking at the dance floor next.'' Pause. "Want to go with me? Maybe you could find Adi.'' Plus he reallllly wanted to dance with her.
Of course. Food was always on AJ's mind, wasn't it? "I think there's fancy food.'' Not think. He KNEW there was actually fancy food. "I'm not sure if there's anything chocolate though.'' Hehe.
"Because you're AJ. That band on your hand is the one Adi gave you and you talk about unicorns plus you mentioned your sister forced you into the dress.'' Okaaaaay, maybe he was talking waaaay too much. Benny was a bestie of few, few, few words. Benny had been present at the Gryffindor table at the time he had slipped the band on AJ's hand so... yep. Adi's identity was safe.
Adi recognised more plants including a few Flutterby Bushes but where were the creatures, man? Were they lurking behind trees? Hmph. Adi wanted to see them too but he'd rather look at AJ. He knew he knew he couldn't make it too obvious that he was doing so because it wasn't something Benny would do. "We're almost back at the Lake.'' Adi could see the line of students and probably Professors waiting for their turn with the carriages.

Adi could see the line of students and probably Professors waiting for their turn with the carriages.
So, he did know who she was talking about after all? In spite of it all, the mystery was kind of fun. AJ wanted to enjoy the night but she wanted the clock to strike midnight too so she could see who was sitting beside her once on for all. Deciding that two pair of eyes were better than one, she agreed. "Yeah, I'll go. I really want to find them." The whole dance floor thing didn't even register because her mind was on finding Adi and Angel.
"Aw man." Tacos sure would hit the spot right about now. Maybe those girly girls didn't want to get anything on their dresses. They were wizards for crying out loud though. Wasn't there a spell for that? "Maybe I can conjure some tacos." Yeah right, like her magic was that good. "No chocolate?" That was an outrage. She would be taking this up with Adi... whenever she found him.
As he went on about details concerning AJ, she couldn't help but to stare into his eyes. There was something about them. The spell they were all under was throwing her off her game though. He knew her very well apparently so she couldn't play off that she wasn't herself anymore. "Okay, I'm AJ." The details ruled out Zander. She doubted he knew about the band that Adi gave her. "I believe it's you, Benny." Although, he did seem a little more chatty than normal. Maybe it was the ball. Something else clicked for her. Benny was playfully pushed. "That means you know how I feel about Adi. I love him more than anything. He's the one, Benny." Too much information, Valentine. "Um, can you keep that between us?" Yeah, Adi knew how she felt but did he know just how strong her feelings were? What a night to go babbling stuff like that.
Catwoman was almost sad that their carriage ride was coming to an end. She decided to soak up the rest of the scenery while she still could. "Fairies!" They seemed to be twinkling. "I guess it's only fair to go to the ball because the party doesn't start until I walk in." She hoped the music would be good.
He liked it. The cooling and almost sort of numbing sensation he felt as he passed the tent. The lights didn't bother him much as he'd learned to be suspicious of everything and it felt rather natural. As if, that's what one should feel when confronted with anything at all. He was in the mood for risk, having to administer his own potion.
The rubbery material that constituted Cutty Mordaunt's soul felt lighter, even more than usual, he noted as he stepped into a carriage and took a seat on the lushy green seats. He felt like a new wizard entirely.
Okay, so WHOEVER this was, they had some kind of sense of humor, because by CALLING her "Ms. Brown," they definitely just told her that no, the charm did NOT work on the professors because HE knew who she was, and by asking what charm she meant while he CLEARLY knew, he was a joker. So that eliminated... eh, probably the herbology guy... Thompson... Botros, too... which left Flamsteed, Culloden, or Quigley, the Hogwarts trio of funny male professors. So, no matter WHICH one it was, she was in good company, and a smile spread across the fifth year's face.
"Okay, so you do know who I am. Which... answers my question, in a roundabout way. Thank you." She paused. "Also, because of what you just did, I know that you... are either Flamsteed, Culloden, or Quigley. You're the only ones with a sense of humor." Hehehehe. And... all three professors knew of her very close friendship with Tobes, so... they would help her out, wouldn't they? Without steering her wrong? "Can you point me in the direction of Tobes, then? Tobias?" In case it was Quigley, who would be unfamiliar with her nickname for the boy. "Have you seen him? Or... could you remind me of what he looks like so I can find him for myself? We didn't come together, and he hasn't seen me yet, and I want him to see how dazzling I look tonight, y'know? So..." She looked hopeful.
Help a kid out?
...
...ugh, sometimes Sophie was too clever. But, he wasn't disheartened by it a bit! However... see, if he acted like she was the only one with confusion, she would demand to be taken to Toby straight away, which would spoil aaaaaall the fun. On the other hand... yeah, he would pick 'on the other hand'. That the professors were just fine. So in the end, he snorted at her.
"You're flattering enough," he said in that different tone - he didn't want to risk being recognised by his voice, after all, "so I'll help you out." How did it sound? Great, wasn't it? He waited for a moment to build the suspense, and said "you see, he's wearing a mask, so it's easy to recognise him."

HEHEHEHEHE. THAT was a sense of humour!
..........
Okay. BLATANT TEASING? That took Flamsteed off, because even though the man was a jokester, he wasn't THAT blunt in his teasing, so that meant it was either Culloden or Quigley, both of whom shared the same sense of humor and enjoyed tormenting her just as much as she liked teasing them.
So, either way, she could throw the sass back at them and not feel guilty about it.
"I hate you, Quigley-or-Culloden," she declared firmly, headbutting the man's shoulder and then being even MORE of a turd and shaking some of the glitter from her hair right onto the professor's suit. "Just keep talking, sir, and I'll figure out which one you are. Y'think you're so funny." And he was, really, but this was NO LAUGHING MATTER.
She just wanted her Tooooobes.
"Puh-leeeeeeeease?" She was begging, okay? Couldn't he REALLY help her out? Be a pal? Have a heart and encourage true love at its finest?

Actually, Sophie COULD figure out who he was. Even though his tone and accent were different, he would make a mistake somewhere, and then she wouldn't leave him alone. She'd already narrowed it down to Quigley and himself, but Quigley had a weakness: spells.
"Should I remind you again that you're a witch, Ms. Brown?" he said, imitating Quigley as best as he could, "Just summon him!"

Except, living things couldn't be summoned.
Oops. What were the chances of her trying?
....................!!!
A-HA! A slip-up!
Though Sophie thought the FIRST part of what he said sounded just like Quigley - she was certain he'd actually used those same words with her before during that snowball fight - the last thing he said made no sense. "Okay, nerd. How bad at wandwork are you, Merlin? Quigley would very well know that you can't just summon a human being. CULLODEN." She bumped shoulders with him and shook more glitter onto him, grinning huge and sounding a lot more angry than she looked.
"Come oooooooooon. You know it'd be awful if I wasted a night like this and didn't spend it with Tobes. He's gonna cry over how beautiful I am. Don't you wanna unite us? Unite our HEARTS? Be the reason that we have a fun night together? Hold it over my head forever that, out of the kindness of your heart, you brought me and him together again, just like you did the VERY FIRST TIME?"
Her rambling was very, very dramatic, but she thought she was selling it pretty well. "Pretty pleeeease?" CUE THE PUPPY EYES... which probably weren't as effective while she wore a mask... BUT SHE TRIED THEM ANYWAY.
Blech, she wasn't a fan of this spell situation.

She waited for an empty one, and hopefully company so she wouldn't be sitting in one all alone and lame.
Lame was soooo not her style.
Adrienne didn't do this kind of thing. She just didn't! Her home was plaid shirts and skinny jeans, not makeup and dresses and jewellery (although she had to admit, the masks were pretty cool.) Sure, she'd grown out of her childish aversion to all things girly (no pink ever!), but she was still more tomboy than anything, and she rarely felt more out of her comfort zone than in this sort of attire. Combine that with the fact that Tora still hadn't apologised to her, and she was alone, ticked off, and out of her element.
So, the obvious reaction was to be as standoffish as she possibly could. Instead of getting into a carriage with some almost-friends who hadn't seen her but probably would have accepted her anyway, Adrienne huffed out an annoyed breath and stepped into an empty carriage.
Only it wasn't empty.
"Oh, hey," she said apathetically. "Do you mind? Sorry, I didn't realise you were there." And wow, while she was trying not to care about anything she did have to admit to herself that the girl sitting across from her was gorgeous, and Merlin was that a cool mask and glove-thing. She tried to squash the jealousy in the pit of her stomach and tugged at the edge of her skirt slightly, feeling inadequate having just thrown on the only dress she owned and braided her hair.

'nerd'?
That Quigley wouldn't suggest that?
HEHEHEHE.
"'Eyyyy, take away your glitter!" he exclaimed, "or should I give you a detention?" Now, he had never given a detention, whereas Quigley was the king of it. Surely this would show her he wasn't Culloden? HEHEHE. He stepped back, and completely sweeped the glitter back on her.
"And puh-lease, Sophie," he mimicked her tone, "spare me your cheesy love. I bet you can find him on your own, clearly you are so clever." Just like how she found him, how did it sound?
"I've already helped you a bit: he's wearing a mask. Simple as that."
Now, if she didn't mind, he had other jobs to do, like watching her desperation from afar.

HMPH.
Sophie completely ignored the detention threat, and no she was NOT going to get rid of the glitter for him - if HE was going to be so smug and cheeky with her, he could do it himself. "Whateeeever," she droned miserably, tearing her gaze away from the professor to look around at their surroundings. It was FRUSTRATING, this whole event was, and his lack of sympathy was NOT HELPING.
"Fine, then. I will. Just watch me." With absolutely no direction, Sophie started her walk back to where she came, stubborn as ever and still walking with the best posture she possibly could because she wanted people to think she was beautiful and vote for her later.

This girl, Marigold observed, was VERY confident. Marigold wanted her confidence. Envied it, even, though the anonymity made it quite a bit easier for her to talk to people and feel good about herself. She took a cue off the snorting girl stranger and struck a power pose, legs apart, shoulders back. Marigold McAlistor wasn't gonna take bad energy from nobody.

I mean he could live without his friends and girlfriend and make some new memories instead of sticking to one group.
"You sure you don't need a ride?" he offered. I mean he offered to be her prince in shining armor. "No pretty lady like you should be standing here all alone." he smiled.
Marigold nodded along with the boy. "Anonymity is pretty helpful and cool, especially at this kinda charade." The masked ball type. Pretty awesome, if you ask her, and not just because she helped make it all possible.
No pretty lady like her should be standing alone? The first part of the sentence made her glow a little in pride, but then she was confused. Because she was pretty, she had to be riding with someone, namely, a boy? Wasn't that weird? Like, why did she need to accompany a boy when she could just strut her stuff by herself? "No thank you," she politely declined.

"Your name is nice too" said with a shy smile. See? He can compliment like a boss. Sure. This time he wasn't going to messed up.
To be honest, he didn't expected Marigold to know from who was the mask, but she did and she gained like a million points with him. "You know who Wolverine is? You are cool!" said excited. She was allowed to hang out with him "Umm...do you wanna go for a ride...with me?" he asked and looked down. NO, what are you doing? He had to be a man, a confident man. Hugo looked up, crossed his arms and smiled. Confidence
Her name was pretty? Marigold's face broke apart into a grin. "You think so? I'm not a huge fan." Of her name, that is. She was definitely a fan of cutie!Hugo. He was small and therefore not a threat, pluuuus, he thought she was pretty, AND he knew Wolverine. Like, A BILLION brownie points from her. Hehe, when this was all over, maybe she would make him brownies and TOTALLY engulf him with sugar randomly. That would be super funny.
"My grandpapa was a muggle, so he introduced me to all the good stuff. Wolverine is AWESOME, plus, I got Star Wars experience and stuff like that. I'm a huge fan of ALL THAT." Then he died, so she inherited all his fanboy paraphernalia.
OH NO. She didn't want to let him down. "Hugo, I'm really really sorry, but, 'coz I'm a prefect, I have to stay here and watch over everybody. But maybe later you and I can dance? When my shift is over and things?"

"You're not my best friend anymore."
It didn't matter AT ALL if Marigold really had a male friend to begin with. This would surely confuse the girl anyway. HEHEHEH.
He could only hope she wouldn't see his gray hair behind the mask.
omg. MARIGOLD HAD FORGOTTEN ONE OF HER BEST FRIENDS AND THEY WERE SUPER ANGRY AT HER AND SHE HAD THROWN HER HANDS UP TO HER MOUTH BEFORE TOTALLY THROWING HER ARMS AROUND HER FORGOTTEN FRIEND.
"I am SO SO SO SO SO SO SORRY!" she said loudly into his ear, hoping for forgiveness. "FORGIVE ME PLEEEEASE!!!!!!!"
She would figure out who on earth it was later.

She felt... at a loss, being so anonymous. Anonymity felt too much like irrelevance for her liking, and that didn't feel good at all.
Ruby hadn't planned on coming out here alone, but she wasn't having as much luck as she was accustomed to inside. APPARENTLY her face was useful when it came to attracting male attention. Not that she hadn't known that, but like, she was okay with a bit of objectification SOMETIMES, and she looked nice in her dress, right? Anyway, she'd decided she'd try and do the carriage thing.
She waited for an empty one, and hopefully company so she wouldn't be sitting in one all alone and lame.
Lame was soooo not her style.
SPOILER!!: Cutty

He was in the mood for risk, having to administer his own potion.
The rubbery material that constituted Cutty Mordaunt's soul felt lighter, even more than usual, he noted as he stepped into a carriage and took a seat on the lushy green seats. He felt like a new wizard entirely.
Tonight was going to be a good night.
Two more new people, gorgeously dressed. She immediately liked them both. "HIYA. If there's anything you need, I'm your man! Well, not really. I'm your girl, I mean."

Try as he might to utter one word, nothing came out. He merely shrugged in reply. So this was Angel's doing, huh? Another confirmation that this was indeed AJ. Anyway, good going, Angelfish! But obviously she had failed in the shoes department. Not that Adi really cared since AJ's style was one of the reasons he loved her.
