Dean shot a glance at Beni as if to tell her thanks and then turned back to Keag as she looked out to the dance floor. It was true, there weren't many couples out there, but that didn't bother him too much. His current smile couldn't hide the traces of a smirk from what Keagan said. He took her hand in his and said, " Then let's change that, huh? I want to... erm.. Talk to you. " Dean said truthfully. He usually was very straightforward about things such as this because he didn't know any other way to put it. Shrugging slightly, he gazed at Keag, waiting for an answer.

She was tired of waiting. So tired that she hadn't noticed her friends leave the dance. Sighing, the Hufflepuff pulled off her heels and despondently retraced her steps back to the common room. She hadn't even been able to try any of the delightfully ghoulish-looking treats in the Hall.
Had she been stood up? She had waited long enough, hadn't she? It didn't matter to her anymore; Mark was never around anyway so she wouldn't have to face/talk to/see him. This didn't alleviate any of her disappointment, though. With a frown tugging at her bright red lips and her eyes falling downcast to the floor, Abigail shuffled through a doorway, down a flight of steps, and through the well-known dungeon corridors which led to her home. Hopefully Mark wouldn't be in the common room.

Jade sighed. This party was turning out to be pretty boring. And she wasn't even in a partying mood anymore. She glanced at Noah and Lauren. They were still together. She sighed again. Noah had asked her to save him a dance, but maybe she'd just leave. He'd probably notice her more if she wasn't there, anyway. It usually worked. She turned to the door and walked toward it slowly.

Bingo! Beni thought as a bell sounded off her in her mind. She was glad that they were finally getting to the next step of basic ball flirting: dancing.
Patting Keagan's back, she said, "I'm going to go talk to..." She looked over to look at anyone to talk to, but to be honest, she was too excited to focus on just one person. "Well, someone. They can't keep quiet for long. Come with me, Lily?" She started to hop off, but turned back to give them both a wink. "Yaaaay...."

Jynx walked back into the Great Hall hand in hand with Matty. About to answer her as to what they should do his attention was averted as he saw a Gryffindor coming over to him. “Hey how is it going?” he asked giving the Gryffindor girl a small smile before continuing, “Your costume looks great as well.” Then thinking that he was getting kind of thirsty Jynx thought he would excuse himself for a minute and go get everyone drinks. “Why don’t I go and get us all a drink. That way you two can just talk for a minute and I’ll be right back,” Jynx said smiling. With this he lightly removed his hand from Matty’s and headed over to where the drink table was. Smiling as Jynx left her hands, Matty turned to Verina and grinned. "Sure..." she whispered to Jynx as he left. Then turning to her oncomming friends she waved and said "Hey, thanks. You look great too!" brushing down her own forest pixie costume. Gazing around the room, trying to avoide any questions about her and Jynx's where abouts she said "So when did you arrive?" turning her face back into a smile.

Keagan rolled her eyes at Beni's ploy to get away, though the sixth year had no intention of stopping the older girl. She was soon distracted by Dean's hand wrapped around her own. "I want to talk to you, too..." she stated, quietly, a furious blush starting to form again on her face. Then she stepped closer to Dean and spoke in a lower tone, not wanting Beni to hear what she was going to say.
"But do we have to dance to do it?" Dean should've caught on by now that Keag wasn't much for making an awkward spectacle of herself. If Beni hadn't called everyone's attention to her upon entrance, Keag might've been more up for being one of few out on the dance floor at the moment...but that wasn't the case. Nevertheless, Dean had ahold of her hand, and she knew that if he decided they were dancinrg, she probably wouldn't be able to do much to stop him. Maybe she wouldn't even try to.

"Thanks. Figured i should come after all," Verina said with a quick smile lighting up her face, "I arrived just a moment ago," a mischevious smile coming to her eyes having seen that Jynx and Matty had been holding hands upon her arrival, "So...... anything new with you," she said grinning rocking slight back and forth on her feet to the music that was playing. She couldn't help thinking that if the's too decided to be a couple they looked cute together.

" Yes, of course, Beni. Go talk to your... someone. " He said with a laugh as the seventh year moved away and Keag stepped closer to him. Dean grinned at what the Gryffindor said, and answered, " Yeah, sure. I was just thinking that it would be a good thing to do to get away. Not that I don't like your friends... Well, you know what I mean. " He felt like he was rambling again, so he stopped talking for a few seconds to gather his thoughts. " Would you... like to go outside and... talk? " Dean asked the last bit with a grin, joking of course because he really did want to talk to Keag. His grin softened into a smile as he looked at her, his hand gently squeezing hers before loosening it's grip slightly.

Matty's heart skipped a beat as Verina asked about her and Jynx. Smiling and relising that she must have noticed them holding hands, she replied "Yea... We've been hanging out more together is thats what you mean....." smiling inoccently at her. Ok...everythign is cool. I mean at least she hast yet asked abotu where we have been...and what we have been doing... Then looking around the room she thought again. Maby Jynx would come back soon with some drinks and save that day? Turning ehr attention back to Verina, she grinned.

Keagan nodded, knowing what he meant. How was he to know that if he didn't ask something of the sort, Benita would've forced it upon him soon enough? She smiled as a multitude of ideas of how Beni might go about doing that crossed her thoughts.
The response that immediately came to Keagan's mind when he suggested going outside made her think of the issue she had had down by the lake the day they first met, how she shot down all of his suggestions. The thing was, her dress was a bit thin, and her upper back was bare; Keag feared it might be too cold outside. However, since it reminded her of that day, she didn't want to voice this fear. Instead, she only bit her lip and gave him a look that she hoped would let him know what she was thinking.

"Sure...... that's what i meant," she said grinning mischeviously, "Just hanging out... huh?" Verina said her smile not leaving her face at Matty's attempt at appearing to be innocent. Like she would fall for the look she was giving her, "You really think that story is gonna fly by me. I'm sure you don't even believe your words," she then whisphered quietly just low enough so that only Matty would hear her, "Now if it were more..... then i'd tell you, you two look cute together."

Jynx walked over to the drink table and grabbed three bottles of butterbeer. Opening one of the bottles he took a drink from if as he made his way back over to where Matty and Verina were standing. He couldn't help but feel like he missed something when he finally walked up to them. "So what have I missed?" he asked smiling and looking over at Matty and Verina. Handing them both a butterbeer he waited to see if either one of them would tell him what they had been up to or not.

Matty was just about to try and fix up an answer...when of corse mighty Jynx arrived. Winking at Verina, showing a sing that she would tell her abotu it later tonight, she turned to Jynx. "Welcome back..." she took the butterbeer and added "Just talking about out costumes." Now the score was even. Meh, i'll probly end up telling her later. Just hopes she doesn't ask about it now... Then taking a swig of ehr drink she lent back on the wall, sliding a bit into the darckness. Then looking up to the stars, she felt that someone better brake the silence soon. After all, Matty didn't want Verina to leave.

"Costumes. Right." Jynx said with a smile still thinking that the two girls were keeping what they had really been talking about from him, but not really caring all that much about it. It was probably just girl talk anyways.
"So how has your day gone so far Verina?" Jynx asked looking over towards her with a small smile still on his face. He just wondered if she had been doing anything fun before she came to the ball or if she had just been in her common room fixing up her outfit like a lot of the other girls no doubtly had.

"Thanks," Verina had said when Jynx had handed her a butterbear. She smiled in Matty's direction one last time before looking at them both. Sending the message in the smile and with her eyes that she'd better tell her later, "It's been pretty good. Have managed not to break anything including myself or trip so.... everythings been great" she grinned in Jynx's direction, "What about you too? Having a good day so far?"
