Melody's head pipped up when the very good looking lad was standing alone in the corridor waiting for his date. She of course was crest-fallen as if he wasn't taken, she would have stalked him around the school. She closed her eyes for a second and reopened them. For Melody was one to get emotional over everything she had to use all of her self-control to hold back tears. She slowly but elegantly, began to head towards the doors, in hopes to leave the party.
Of course, her parents made her go to the party, didn't mean she had to stay there. Melody stopped at the door and looked out before decided to go back in and head over to the dessert table. She took one of the little chocolates on the end, and ate it gingerelly looking at her feet. Little did she know that someone (DJ) had put a weak love potion in there. The first person she saw after the love potion was Drew. Of course she hadn't known this, but she started walking towards him, her eyes gleaming slightly in a fake infactuation.
((ooc: yeah! lol. Finally someone BRAVE enough to eat one of the Candies XD))

Beni grinned as Dan added in his two knuts. "You could be quite right, the Deej! Budding love! Cute crushes! Oh, I could go on but--" With that, Beni made a stern but gentle prod at Lianna towards Jase. She grinned like a mother and added, "--I believe we're wasting some time by aking her stand there."

Brittany had been continueing to scan the Great Hall for Sora. Though she was stopped from doing this when she spotted the little Ravenclaw girl that she had trapped in the wall with Daniel. Feeling a wash of guilt come over her for a moment, she realized that the girl had been able to get the red stain out. Of course, she had most-likely gone to the Nurse to do so but all the same, her skin was unfazed by any red. Watching her for a moment she realized that she was heading over to the desserts table.
What was more, she was heading to the end of it where Dan's candies were. As if to add to that she had taken a bit into one of them. A smile gracing her face, she elbowed Dan gently and indicated where she was looking to. The Ravenclaw girl was heading straight for Drew.

Kellen and Allegra arrived to the Yule Ball at a time that could still probably count as 'fashionably late'. There were enough people already there to constitute it as started, but the hall wasn't completely filled yet.
Kellen was nervous. He tried not to show it, but he was a little jittery. He hadn't actually been to a ball with someone in a while, and now he was there with one of his best friends. Just them. And he was a bit nervous about it.
Despite that, he couldn't help but notice how fantastic the Great Hall decorations were. "Wow," he muttered under his breath. He was always amazed by how much this room could be changed.

"No...nonononnonono....no..." She pleaded in a non understandable whisper. But pleading got her nowhere, especially when it went unheard (not that it would have actuality helped any).
And once again just like that she wished she was invisible. She was now in the open from the small prod (one that had nearly caused her to stumble), in the open, completely visible, and exactly where she didn't want to be. Now she was distinctly regretting walking into this dance, ball, thing.
And the distance from her tot he door now looked like an eternity crossing. One of those never ending staircases, only flat. Before she was trapped in an enclosed space, something she could easily live with. But, to be trapped in the open...
She was in trouble.

"It's pretty," Allegra agreed, her eyes sparkling with the excitement of the night. She felt like a ball of nerves inside but had somehow manged to hide it pretty well as she stood next to Kellen, her arm linked casually through his.

From off around a corner, Keagan watched Dan from around a corner as he inspected himself. It was amusing to her that he appeared so nervous. Of course, it shouldn't have surprised her any, as she was nervous as well. She'd avoided these dances like the plague since her third year, not because of any bad experience...it just wasn't much fun. She knew she'd have fun with Dan, though. It hadn't taken Keag long to make herself ready for the evening. Thanks to Beni's help, doing her hair was easy; a simple bun, tied tightly, but loose at the same time. A pair of straight, blond strands hung from her forehead over her cheeks, framing her naturally made up face. Her dress had been decided upon long ago, right after Dan had asked her to the Ball. Her uncle in France had sent it, following Keag's instructions to the letter when he had gone to have it made. The dress was strapless, but tight enough to stay up comfortably, and for this Keagan was incredibly grateful. The hem came to her knees, and the skirt flared, giving Keag's somewhat petite figure the curves she sometimes envied in some of the taller girls. To top it all off, the dress was the perfect shade of baby blue, her favorite color (next to the crimson characteristic of her house, of course). When Dan finally stopped his fidgeting and settled himself against the wall, Keag couldn't restrain a fit of giggles any longer. Stepping around the corner, Keagan made her way down the remaining length of the corridor to Dan, her barely heeled shoes clicking on the floor as she walked. The heel on her shoes was only about an inch high, bringing her height even with Dan's own. "Hi," she said shyly, smiling as she looked over his pinstriped suit. She hadn't noticed the stripes from her perch around the corner, but now could see that they added an extra something to his look. "You're looking dashing this evening." ((And of course, the dress ..... Holy post!! They grow without you realizing it sometimes, don't they?))

No one was dancing yet, but that didn't stop Drew. As the music started, he led Alhana out onto the dance floor, passing Melody on the way. She looked like she wanted to talk to him, but he had other things on his mind and barely acknowledgeed her with a "hey" and a nod.

Melody had just opened her mouth to speak to him when he rudely walked off. The nerve of him... she thought to herself. But that did not change her infactation towards him. It was like it just hit her, rather then sink in time as it had for Dan... Ah well, all that mattered was the she would be stealing glances at him every few seconds as she did many a times before rather then talking aloud. After he passed her, she slyly walked up closer to him, not stalking him, trying to make it seem casual, but still all the same, looking into the back of his cute haircut.

"Would you like something to drink?" Kellen asked her, remembering how the boy was supposed to act at a dance. "Some kind of refreshment, or something? I'll get it for us," he offered as the two walked out of the doorway and into the Great Hall.

"Maybe later?" Allegra answered with a small shrug. She had been going to dances long enough to know the chances of someone messing with the food were pretty high. It was usually best to wait a while and see if anyone started to sprout feathers or something.

Dan looked at the girl and snorted. "This is going to be fun to watch..." He continued trying his best not to laugh with the girl slowly but surely getting closer to Drew, and a rare smile gracing her face. He turned and looked down at Brittany, "But its funner to watch with more talkative people because they go absolutly crazy."
A kid caught his eye, and he turned back to Brittany, "Hey isn't that the dude... or whatever your out with over there?" He pointed in the direction where he was, but wasn't quite sure if that was him or not. For he had only heard a name, and he was pointing at Kellen, not knowing any better.

Nic was leaning against the door with a corsage of honey kissed flowers with blue tinges on their petals. The exact same shade as Lily's eyes. Nic looked bored though he was dressed in an all black suit that reached all the way down to his mid calf with matching black pants that had a chain that linked the pockets with a striped tie to complete the 50's gangsta, but respectable look. "Hey Nic," Lily said quietly. She was a bit self conscious. She had found the dress when going through her mum's things and had saved it with a bunch of other things that she had shrunk (She had become very good at that spell). She had only needed slight modifications to wear it tonight. It was the first time she had ever dared to wear a strapless dress. She was still a bit nervous about it. She was still in the habit of hiding her arms though there was nothing to hide anymore and so they were rather pale. She had pulled up her hair into a bun like configuration ((so sue me, I can't describe hair . .. I'll get a link up in my siggie eventually)) She was truly beautiful even if she didn't feel it. ((The links in my siggie. Sorry I'm so horribly crappy at describing anything fashion related))

Kellen nodded. Remembering more about the food, he said "You're probably right. Better safe than sorry. I don't want to leave the dance looking like a gecko, or something," he joked lightly. Most the people he knew who would mess with the food were no longer at the school, but that didn't mean there weren't others whom he didn't know.

Brittany followed the direction to discover the boy that Dan had pointed to. She snorted and remarked, "If that was him, I wouldn't be standing here right now seeing as how he has a girl attached to his arm. I'd be running out of the hall."
She said this for two reasons. One being because she would need to get out in order not to hex Sora if she saw him linked arms and nervous with another girl. Two being she would be upset and didn't want to show it in front of everyone in the hall.
