A light smile flickered across her face as he told her he was alright. She was happy to see neither of their drinks had been spilled and that he hadn't seen her display of trying to stay upright. She hadn't planned on that when she bought the high heels. She thought for the most part she would stay in the shadows, not doing much walking but she was so fascinated by the decorations she couldn't help it. She looked him over as well. He was dressed in blood red, what could be a pirate costume, all decked out in a pimp red hat. Then to finish it off, he wore a creepy skeleton mask, she had no idea who he was, but he seemed nice enough. She glanced down at herself and then back to him.
"I'm Esmerelda.."
She introduced herself, of course, he had probably meant who her costume was but she didn't really know, so she answered in the only way she could. She held out her hand for him to shake or whatever.

Alexis finally entered the great hall dressed in full costume. At least this one didn't take as long to make. When it came to these kind of things, Alexis was rather impacient. Using her wand to turn her hair and eyes red, she also used it to give her small wings a multicolor effect. Putting on pointed ears and a red stone in the middle of her forehead, Alexis looked at herself in a mirror to make sure it looked alright. Well if she was going to pull off this fire fariy thing, it had to look good. In her opinion, she looked cute.
Since she didn't see many people she knew, Alexis went to a table to get some punch. Taking the opertunity, she took a look around the great hall to see the rest of the decorations. It was cool and everything was rather erie, especially some of the costumes she saw. Alexis didn't have a date so she thought she would just find some people and talk for a while.

Noah looked at the exchange between Lauren and Jade, and scratched his head-- not sure what to do. It would probably be best to just leave with Lauren, his "date" and talk to Jade later. "Thanks, Estaci-- but we got it. Er... save me a dance?" he smiled at her, hoping that she wouldn't be mad at them leaving. He was grateful that she was trying to help, but Lauren didn't seem to be too happy about it. He grabbed Lauren's wrist and lead her away to a corner. "Lauren, you alright?" He took his wand out of his pocket and hesitated. "I'm not very good at cleaning spells, but I'm sure there's some way of removing this... I'm really, really sorry," he said to her, feeling bad that he spilled punch all over her. "Will do," said Jade, slightly annoyed that they were leaving together. She sighed and decided to go find her 'date'. "Hey, Arty." She walked up to him and put an arm around his shoulders, not caring that he didn't want to be here. To be honest, she wasn't having a great time, herself.

"I'm Esmerelda.." She introduced herself, of course, he had probably meant who her costume was but she didn't really know, so she answered in the only way she could. She held out her hand for him to shake or whatever. "Charon," Charon replied as he took her hand. Normally he would have shaken it, but he decided to do things a little more in character tonight. The Phantom, being 1800's French, wouldn't have just shaken a lady's hand at their first meeting. He would have followed old protocols and kissed it. Which is exactly what Charon did. After he kissed Esmerelda's hand, he let go of it and asked, "Well, now that I know who you are, would you mind telling me who you've dressed up as tonight?" It really was a very generic costume. She could have been any woman wearing a black dress.

Matty walked into the ball feeling quite lonly. She had only just finished it the night before. Gazming around the room at the decorations, she thought that this was going to be a screem. Tonight her look was of a Forest Pixie. Her hair draped out, she had extentions to make it longer. Her eyes she had magilly changed to mach the bottle jewl she had.On her head, sitted a bronze band with white and gold wings on eiter side. Around her neck she had a emerald green and bronze choker. Laying in the middle of it was a bottle green jewl. Matty was waering a pale grass green dress with no sleeves. It fell down into puffs and had bronze embrodery around it. Underneth the lager puffs, were small paler green ones. On her arms she had the same pale green colour her underneth puffs. They went up to in the middle of her ellbow and shoulder length. On both sides were bronze bands. Coming down from her feet were yet again the smae pale green colour stockings. They only went up to her thighs, with broza trimming around the top of them. Her shoes were bottle green with pale green straps across them, because they were an open hight heel, that wasn't too high. For her exsesories, she had a small glass cone/dimond shaped jar. In it was a small glittering ball of white light. As it shimmered and sparkled, the light of it shon onto the bronze top and bottom og it. The whole thing was safley clipped at the side of her dress. As she walked into the ball, noticing that not many people she knew were in there, Matty simply went and stood at the wall to the right of her. Leaning aganst it she looked down and sighed, woundering if he would come soon. Jynx made his way to the Great Hall having just finished up his costume. He was suppose to meet Matty there and hoped that she hadn't been waiting for him for too long. It had been her idea for them to dress up like they were and he thought that the two costumes would look good together. His costume consisted of a white short sleeve shirt that was rolled up on the sleeves. The shirt was undone all the way down put still tucked in at the jeans. On his chest ran a brown leather neckles that was made from small brown pieces of leather. With blue jeans and a brown belt that hooked in the front with two other straps that ran front to black. A brown leather pointed bandana sat atop his head with a image to a skull sewed on front of it in a white material. His hands were covered in leather gloves that ran all the way down almost to his elbows. They were brown in color, to match his hat, with metal stripe accents on the knuckles, middle of the hand, and the end of th wrist. The end of the glove was trimmed in a light tan that wrapped around the glove coming to a point. Above the elbow, mid way down the arm was a tatoo that wraps around his entire arm. To finish it off he carried a small knife. Entering the Great Hall he looked around at all of the decoration and thought that it was cool. He didn't mind scary things and knew that he and Matty would have a good time. Seeing Matty standing over by the wall he made his way over to her. "So what do you think?" he asked smiling at her.

Charlie could tell from the voice that it was Arty, but when she turned around with a punch cup to her mouth, she almost took a spit take. "Holy crap, kid!" She set the cup down and tilted her head at the skeleton. She wasn't sure if she saw his costume before leaving the common room, but she sure had an eyeful now. "Nice costume you got goin' for ya." " Yea It took a while to find and then it was shipped from japan or whatever... What can I say, Thing from the Black Pitch" Artemis said making humor about the muggle 'Thing from The Black lagoon' he loved doing that kinda thing and he was somewhat enjoying Charlie's company, she made for an interesting conversation, and the look on her face when he walked up to her absoulutely perfect! he then felt someone slide their arm onto his shoulders. he reached down like he was scracthing his ankle and pulled his wand up and jabbed it into the person's gut. ' Hands off" He hissed to the person.

Jade laughed. "Arty! I'm ashamed of you! Is that any way to talk to your date? And, my dear, you weren't even suppossed to bring a wand." She shook her head and ruffled his hair. "What am I gonna do with you? I can't take you anywhere. Hey! Wanna dance? Charlie, you can come, too if you want. And we don't have to touch, Art, we can just move to the music, ok? So what do you say?"

Art 'itched' his ankle again stashing his wand under his suit, how awesome it was, he loved how it worked he could hide anything except bones! the suit made anything he was carrying and his own flesh invisible! It was a wonder he hadn't used this sooner to hide things and smuggle them, he only wished he could get one to hide something entirely so not even his bones showed. "NO I don't dance and we ain't here on a date OR Even her 'together' got it?" he hissed to jade.

Having been about to question Abi on where Mark, or Ty for that matter was, she was cut short of doing so by the appearance of one (the one she would question slightly more about), pretty much exactly as he said he would be dressed: a dranged burning chicken. And she couldn't help it. She laughed. "Ty...I...honestly thought you were..kidding...." She claimed in between fits. She was one of few people who seemed to not be wearing a mask, it was Halloween yes, but that didn't mean you had to have your face hidden...did it? Whatever. He was crazy, that simple. Abby was about to thank Lianna for the compliment when a..chicken? came forth from the dungeons. She raised an eyebrow (if Cruella's already high arched brows could go any further into her receding hair line) and stared with a rather blank expression as it neared the two girls. "Um...hi chicken," she said, honestly unsure of who it was. Was that fire burning its tail feathers? She cast a sideways glance at Lianna and than returned her rather rude stare at the feathery farm animal. "Ty?" she questioned once hearing her friend's greeting. "Erm...interesting choice of costume," she commented with a confused look on her face. She had never seen someone dress as a chicken...a burning chicken, for Halloween before. That took originality. Abby was also curious as to why Lianna hadn't informed her of her date's particular ly odd choice of costume. "Nope I wasn't kidding," Ty said with a shrug. He actually thought that his chicken suit had turned out just the way he had wanted it to. All the elements were there, the singed feathers, the fire out the rear, and the fact that Bloxam's face could be seen behind the pill of the costume. "Hi, Abigail." Ty said with a small wave looking over at the girl, who was currently staring at him with a look of puzzlement.

"Dude..." Charlie muttered under her breath to see Arty with the wand. "You don't bring wands to dances, that's as far as I know." She looked around for any professors, but when she looked back down, she saw that it was hidden once more. She felt a bit more relieved now. She still had to keep her prefectness, no matter how much of a troublemaker she was herself.
Seeing Jade getting him to dance, she gave her a face saying Good luck, man. But there was inspiration. "It doesn't hurt to go over there and dance, Arty." She crossed her arms, but then thought better of it as she went to push him to the dancefloor. "Have fun, Estaci."

"God, cool it! I know it's not a date, I'm glad it's not a date! But I still think we have to be more convincing if we want to get rid of your stalker." Jade removed her arm from around his shoulders where it resred and sighed. This night was not going according to plan. She looked around for other hot guys she could flirt with, but it was hard to tell with the costumes. She sighed again, deciding to stay with her fellow snakes.

" I don't care if she sees me nor do I care if she followes me I want YOU to leave me alone ok? At least she doesn't touch me or try to hook me into dancing." Art hissed to both Charlie and Jade. He was starting to hate the both of them they kept pressuring him and he was not in favor of it. He just wanted to talk with whomever wherever for whatever reason withough a fifth year following him! The arm of the skeleton reached up to remove Jade's arm. When his hand came into contact Jade would be able to feel the thin layer of spandex covering his body. This proved that the charm on the suit wasn't perfect, he was still solid.

{ The Dress} Brittany found the halls to be fairly clear as she made her way down to the Halloween Ball. It had taken her a little bit longer on her costume than she had expected so that it looked, now, like she was fashionably late. The theme of the ball was supposed to be frightening and somewhat gross. She certainly wasn't of the latter one but of the first 'twas a definite. Now at first look many would have just thought her to have dressed up and completely ignored the fact that it was Halloween. But there was a much larger story behind her costume than just dressing up. Oh yes. For she had picked a very original costume that dated back to the beginning of human existence on Earth. She was one of the seven deadly sins. Wrath. Dressed in the tightest black dress that she could find, that dipped down in the front and in the back and finally tied around her neck. There hung a red ruby necklace that stood out against the girl’s dark tan skin. The hemline of the dress came a little more than four inches above her knee, so that it was just enough leg showing. It tapered down a bit in the back, going to the back of her knees. In attempt to cover up she had a long, sweeping black cloak on that was lined with red satin on the inside. She was in strappy-ribbon black flats, since she could not stand to wear heels for any longer than two minutes. Her make-up was done very different. Instead of the regular, natural looking make-up that she usually wore she had played it up a bit. They were lined with a coal-black eyeliner and eye shadow. This made the most noticeable thing about Brittany’s face her eyes, since they seemed to pop against the darkness around them. A couple streaks of sparkling red could be spotted in the right light throughout her hair. Having left her hair straight instead of curling it like she normally did for dances, it angled in around her face and fell just to the tops of her shoulders. This made the cut across her right temple unseen unless she pushed her hair back behind her ear. Which was something she had to occasionally remind her self not to do. She didn't feel like explaining the whole thing plus she hadn't exactly told Sora about it either. As she approached the entrance to the Great Hall, she hesitated. She wasn’t sure if she should go on it or wait for Sora out there. Sighing, she stepped aside to clear the entrance so that she could wait for him. While waiting she examined her blood-red nails in an attempt to not look half as stupid just standing there staring off into space.

Noah watched her leave, he held out his hand as if to stop her, but put it back down slowly. He smiled softly at her back and sighed, running his fingers through his hair again. Noah leaned on the door and stared at the direction she ran towards. There was something about Lauren that was very different from anyone he had ever met. Noah couldn't figure what it was that made her so different, though. She holds such remarkable strength and determination. She's very admirable... He remembered that they started arguing off the bat. Normal people would've at least tried to be nonconfrontational-- not Lauren. When she returned he looked her up and down. "Stone, you look beautiful," he said in awe. He looked down at the bracelet and wondered where anyone could have gotten something like this. It was so fitting. "Ya know you're not supposed to have those things here, eh?" Lauren said entering the Great Hall in the shortest time she could manage. "Oh I know," he grinned boyishly. "I just feel so vulnerable without my wand..ever since Solis..." he looked around to check if she was there. "Where did you get that costume anyway?" he asked her, trying to change the subject. He wanted to keep his wand with him in case something happened. He wasn't going to fight with anyone-- but it was best just to keep it with him.

Matty looked over to Ray "Hey Tunnel Girl, Im a Forest Pixie. What are you?" before looking at Jynx ariving. Looking at him up and down she was really impressed, "Wow, you look awsome!" she shot him a wide grin. "This is Ray by the way," she said gesturning towards the smaller Ravenclaw girl and giving them both a smile. Stepping away from the wall, Matty pulled her hair back behind her ears as she usually did. Slipping out her hand and feeling the fabric on Jynx's shirt she said "Althentic."
