" Alright, sounds good. " Dean said, then he joined in her laughing with a slight smile as he nodded to one of his classmates that had just walked by. As they started walking and making their way towards the doors, he glanced around to see if there was anyone he wanted needed to say good bye to. Not being able to spot anyone, Dean shook his head slightly and asked Keag, " So, any ideas yet? Not going to make me go shopping, are you? " He joked with a laugh, talking about what they were going to do the next day. Dean didn't like to shop at all... He thought it a boring task that more often than not took too long.

As they walked, Keagan also looked around until she finally spotted Beni. After exchanging some gestures to let Beni know what was going on, Keag knew she would be pencilling in a giggle-fest with the seventh year soon. "No, no shopping. It's not like there's anywhere to shop, anyway. We're cooped up in this castle like a bunch of egg layin' hens." Keag wasn't much for shopping either, unless she had the right group to go with. Dragging a boy along on a shopping excursion just didn't appeal to her.
"I think we have some more talking to do," Keag stated, also in response to his question. "Have any ideas where we could do a bit more of that?...I still have your football, you know."

Dean, too spotted Beni and waved as Keag motioned to her... He had no idea what that was about, but didn't mind not knowing. " Egg layin' hens, huh? " Dean asked her with a laugh. He hadn't heard that expression... well, ever. He found it funny, to say the least on the matter. He stuffed his free hand into his pocket out of habit as they left the hall and started up the stairs, where Dean was sure the Gryffindor common room was located... Somewhere in the upper direction.
" Yay, talking... " Dean said, complaining with a grin because really, he wanted to spend more time with her. " Well, it might be a little chilly out tomorrow being first of November and all so... How does somewhere inside sound? " He asked, being vague because he wasn't sure where she wanted to go. " I was wondering where that went... " Dean muttered with a laugh because he had known that Keag still had it.

"Yup," Keagan replied with a grin, swinging the hand that was still in his as she looked around the Great Hall for the last time before leaving. It was only now that she caught sight of the sign hanging in front of the entrance. If she had saw that earlier, she may not have even had the courage to enter the Hall beyond. She was grateful she hadn't.
"Inside sounds good. I don't know where would be best, though. I think in my two and a half years here I've seen all the normal parts of this castle so many times that none of it seems novel anymore."

" It does... That way, we won't freeze. Which I think we both would enjoy. " Dean said to Keag with a chuckle as they continued up the steps. They walking for a few moments in silence as Dean thought about the night's events. He was a little suprised that things had worked out so well with Keagan. And they were planning on spending some time together tomorrow... Dean knew that she wanted to talk, but he didn't mind too much. As long as he didn't make a fool of himself, he was fine with it.

Silence was never a good thing with Keagan. Silence always made her think, and she would much prefer to act instead. Or at least talk. However, Dean had chosen silence, and Keag was going to honor that; this decision did not quell the thoughts that welled up in her, most of them the same doubts that had made her feel vulnerable back in the Great Hall.
Could she trust Dean? Her first impression of the boy hadn't been positive; far from it, as she had first come into contact in the first Transfiguration class of the term. She had been shocked to see the PDA he exhibited in that class with a fellow Slytherin, and had been even more shocked to see the confrontation between him and the abrasive Hufflepuff Mike. Keagan knew that she'd need to find out more about Dean and Natalie, but she supposed that could wait until the 'morrow.
Turning to look up at him, as he was still a couple inches taller than her, despite her heeled shoes, she gave him smile.

(( I'm just gonna post that they're there ))
Dean trailed his free hand along the railing of the stairs as they walked up. That was one thing about him, he always had to touch something. Like he was always doing something physical. Dean hated sitting still and doing nothing. For some reason it bugged him alot. Dean looked down to Keag and caught her gaze with a smile on his face. Now they were nearing the seventh floor, he was thinking to himself, recognizing a few portraits that he knew were located on that particular floor. " This fine? " He asked, coming to a stop on the landing. He wasn't sure of the exact location of the Gryffindor Commons, so he figured here would be a good place to say good night. At least no one could see them, so Keagan wouldn't get embarassed.

"Perfect," Keagan replied, grinning before allowing her face to relax into its smile again. And it was. As a prefect, Keag knew better than most that the location of each individual house was only supposed to be known by the residents of that house. It made sense that a Slytherin would know that the seventh floor was the general vicinity of the Gryffindor tower entrance, of course, because he had probably seen many Gryffs wander up this way after supper in the Great Hall.

Dean laughed and said, " I kind of thought so, too. " He watched as Keag's grin turned into a smile once again. He looked Keag over and said, " You do look great. " The smile on his face telling her that he really meant it, too. " I..uh... had a nice time, Keag. " He continued on, his gaze catching hers once more. He glanced around them to check and see if anyone was around... Just in case, he was thinking. Dean leaned forward slightly and placed a lingering kiss on her. When he did finally pull away he said, " 'Night, Keagan. "

"Thank you. It's all Beni's doing," Keagan replied quietly, glancing away from his eyes to try and keep from blushing. After he spoke and caught her gaze again, Keag relaxed again. "Me, too. Kind of ditched Beni, though." She doubted Beni, social flower that she was, minded much, but Keag still wondered. When Dean glanced around to check for little spies, she bit back a laugh, knowing he was only doing it for her benefit.
Keagan realized Dean's intention as he leaned forward a bit, and she tilted her chin to meet him as their lips met, returning the kiss. She smiled when it ended, looking forward to the next day even if they did have things to sort through. "G'night, Dean."

" Yeah... " Dean breathed as he turned to walk away, taking one final look at Keag. They didn't really have a set place to meet up tomorrow, but he figured that he'd find her one way or another. As he continued to descend the stairs, Dean stuffed his hands into his pocket out of habit. Anyone who would have happened to see him on his way to the Slytherin Common room would have thought he had just won a Quidditch game... if it wasn't for the fact that Dean disliked Quidditch....

Fiona, who had been sitting quietly in one of the darker corners of the Hall, singled to the band to wrap it up. The lead singer nodded once in her direction and upon finishing their current slow song, strung his guitar in the start of a fast-paced jingle. "This'll be the last song of the night folks! Happy Halloween!" the leader whispered into the microphone with a smirk.
(Okay, kiddies, start posting your departures because I'll be locking this thread either tonight or tomorrow.)

Pat laughed a little at Krissy's response to his request; it was obvious she could still see. However, Pat honsetly didn't care at this point; he was finding it difficult to keep himself from giving Krissy her gift any longer ((not to mention Pat's writer is starting to get worried they'll lock this thread before the gift is given )). "Yep, just like that," he said, smiling wide; now seemed like the right time to give her her birthday present. Stepping closer to Krissy, Pat drew her present out from his pocket, carefully fastening it around her neck. Now dangling around her neck was a fine chain of silver, which was threaded through a silver ring with an opal set into it. If one cared to take closer look at Pat, then one would notice he too wore a silver necklace with an opal-set ring on it, exactly the same as Krissy's. ((Flashback alert )) Pat had carried the two necklaces with him ever since the summer vacation, the memory of which he remembered clearly. He had gone to Scotland and Ireland with Krissy, but had had to seperate from her for a few days to see his relatives. Among these relatives, mostly cousins, aunts, and uncles, was his grandmother, Anne Destro. She had called him aside one evening, and then proceeded to give him the twin necklaces. "I know you've found that special girl, Patrick, so I thought I would give these to you. They've been passed down through your grandfather's side of the family for generations. So long as you're wearing one necklace and she's wearing the other, the two of you shall always be close to one another's hearts. I know your grandfather would be glad these have been passed on to you."Pat wasn't sure how his grandma, or indeed, other members of his family, had guessed so on-target that he'd found "a special someone". However, he was grateful for his grandma, and these necklaces she had passed on to him; they certainly made a pretty damn good gift. "Happy birthday, love," Pat said softly, kissing Krissy. He hoped she liked the gift as well as he'd liked her's to him, he really did. Krissy had managed to cover her eyes properly before Pat pulled the present out of his pocket. She, like he did, wanted it to be a surprise. When she felt him reach around her nack and felt the chain slide around it she opened them.She smiled as he kissed her. Krissy looked down at the necklace hanging around her neck. Her eyes went wide in wonder looking at it. It looked very expensive. "Pat I..." she said looking back up at him. She loved it. She really did. "Oh thankyou" she said throwing her arms around his neck. She hadn't yet noticed the matching one he was wearing, but either way. She pulled away slightly kissing him gently. "I love it" she said to him her eyes showing that she did infact love it. "Thankyou" she whispered quietly to him once more. Krissy heard the lead singer of the band speak into the microphone. "Come on" she said grabbing Pats hand and pulling him towards the middle of the room. Last song of the night. They had to dance.

Jynx was listening to what Verina was saying when his attention was drawn to the dance floor. The band had called out last dance, so if he wanted to dance with Matty at all tonight now was the time. "Hey Matty," he interjected, "How about a dance before we get chucked out of here."
Smiling he reached out for Matty's hand awaiting her reply. He was sure that she wanted to get at least one dance in before the night was over and hoped that Verina would understand and not be offended by there sudden departure.

"Sure, i'd love to." Matty said taking Jynx's outstreached hand and turning to Verina. "We'll back soon, sorry 'bout this." in a hushed tone. Smiling and waving with her free hand, she lead Jynx out onto the dance floor. Noticing that Krissy and Pat were also there, she remembered about a gift that she had got her, but that could wait for the common room. There was bound to be a party up there for her, wouldn't there? But taking her focus back to Jynx, she gazed into his eyes before resting her hands on his shoulder tops. Leaning in a bit closer she said "Im glad this happened tonight."
