Ivy nodded at Mike, still rather worried and looked around. "There's not that many people here yet..." She sighed, feeling rather disappointed. Perhaps it wasn't the best idea to come here so early. No one had even showed up. Lately, she had kept an eye out for Allegra or Kellen, but alas, no luck. Ivy had made it her responsibility to ensure that Allegra and Kellen at least went to the Ball with each other. Annoyingly so, she had kept up with this responsibility. Though, as usual, there was another creeping feeling that she shouldn't get involved with these two. It was best just to let them be. Pfft! Yeah right!"Thats only cause it's still early....and maybe we should have a dance....you know start things rolling" He said in a suggestive tone, he really just wanted to forget what had just happened and do exactly what she had ask, give her time, although now he just felt bad because of her saying no.

Lauren blushed behind her pride at what he said. She tried not to show. After all, Noah was only kind of her friend and even though she'd been his date, she still blushed at being complimented. He didn't make a sarcastic insult or tease her. which was nice in a way. But it also made her feel quite awkward. She never wore dresses, and she just had worn two in the past five minutes, so he'd better soak it all in now.
She nodded in appreciation to him, the only thing she could think of at the time.
"I know what you mean. That detention was ridiculous anyway. Though I wish I could've seen what you were most scared of. That would've been interesting." Her voice began to trail off when he asked about her costume.
"Ok, I couldn't have done any of this with out Beni. I know she only did my hair but she helped me out so much, especially with this back up charm. The first outfit I had to pick myself. It was okay, but the skirt was a bit short for my liking, anyway." She stopped herself, realizing that she was talking about clothes with Noah. Clearing her throat, "So, what about your's?" Lauren asked Noah, referring to his costume.

Noah shrugged a bit, he didn't spend nearly as much time as Lauren did. He felt a little bad that she worked so hard, and he only took approximately 3 minutes on it-- mostly struggling to put on the stupid costume. "I stole it from some guy a while back, I think his name was Tobin Maguire? Tony? I don't know," he brushed it off, not really wanting to talk about it. His mother had gotten really angry at him to the point that she almost made him shop with his sisters. Noah shuddered at the horrible thought...
She mentioned the detention he would never forget as long as he lived. "Ridiculous? Yes, but it was downright scary... I thought we were done for when your werewolves, showed up. Jesus Christ, I can't believe I almost--" he paused, blushed and looked away. "What I'm most afraid of... I'm glad you didn't see me in that state."
He was truly grateful that Drew managed to destroy the boggarts before they got to him. He wouldn't have wanted anyone to see him in that way. "You'll probably see one day," he said to her, looking away still. "I doubt that'll be the last time we'll encounter a boggart together,"
He looked at the crowd for Ash. "Where's that lil' bugger? I still haven't paid her back for pushing me into you," he said half-jokingly.

Lauren nodded, doubted that he truly stole that suit from Toby Maguire. Lauren never watched the movie, though her cousins did and loved it. She knew the name, however. He probably was trying to talk himself up, since he knew that Lauren knew muggle movies. After all, he heard her singing a song from Finding Nemo.
"Oh I know, me too." She said. "Damn boggarts all turned into them. Now that wasn't fair, and if they turned into each one of our boggarts, which they were bound to if they hadn't run off, sooner or later. We all would've been freaked, even Drew who didn't seemed to understand the meaning of the word 'boggart'. But, whatever." A short pause. "The only thing is that we didn't need to be there,"
Lauren shrugged. "Maybe I'll be there, maybe I won't. Just better hope I'm feeling friendly that day," she winked slightly at him to show she was only kidding. Then she walked past him and seeing the punch on the floor, she rolled her eyes. Walking past it, she grabbed a cookie. She'd probably end up eating more than dancing. But isn't that what most people did. Finishing her first bite,
"Aw, it wasn't that bad, was it?" Lauren asked an obvious question, he did get punch all over her. "But, it was an excuse to change outfits. I mean, in comparison of the two, I'd much rather have this outfit on."

"Then why didn't you wear that one first?" he asked, raising his eyebrow. He looked around and shook his head; for a Ball, there wasn't much dancing involved. Perhaps they should be the first ones to dance? He grinned at the thought of him and Lauren dancing together. It would be quite a sight, wouldn't it?
Lauren's skirt and grungy look with his absurd Spiderman suit. Where was Ivy with a camera at a time like this? "Lauren, do you want to dance?" he asked, thinking she would probably reply negatively.
The girl seemed to be eating a lot. Did she always do that when she was at dances? Did she feel uncomfortable dancing or something? If she was, then they were definitely going to dance.

OK, so he wasn't kidding, she could handle that. Perhaps handle it better when she could stop the occasional snicker from escaping her lips. Abi's reaction however had been far more bemusing than the fact that Ty even showed up. The girl seemed shocked, confused, and curious all at the same time, the raised eyebrow expression directed at her only made her raise on in return, each of them seeming to ask the same question: What?
"I can see that...now...didn't expect it, but...erm..." Oh man, she was fine waiting, fine wondering when he'd show up, if he'd show up, if she should show up, but now...now that he was there, and she was there she was hesitent. Extremely hesitent, she figured it would happen but she expected it later, now now. Heck it was only the beginning.
Her eyes scanned back across the Hall as others had filed and drifted by in ones and twos some costumes looking not scary at all, they stood out. And then there were others hidden behind masks and charms that if they stood still long enough looked like part of the decor. Still nervously biting the side of her lip, her eyes shot a brief glance of worry to Abi, in summary: She. Was. Scared.

"I don't know. I couldn't pick really, so Beni just surprised me. She told me she put a back-up one in my wand but I didn't really know what that looked like. I fell in love with the first hair style. Don't get me wrong, I liked the outfit. This one is just more something I would wear. I don't know, it's complicated."
Ugh, he was a bugger. Lauren put down her cookie (the first cookie she ate that evening Mr. Noah Smarty Pants) that was half eaten. Eh, she didn't care really if anyone saw it. She was done with it for now. Anyway, it was a good cookie. Most cookies are good. </random, but the writer is sort of feeling a bit loony at the moment so randomness is going in this post>
It's not that Lauren didn't want to dance. It's not that she didn't want to dance with Noah. Noah was her friend, I guess, sort of, almost. Well, yeah, he was. The only thing is that she was a dreadful dancer. Ask any of the Slytherins. They'd played witness to the sight, and Lauren knew it wasn't a pretty one. She only danced for Nic before, so she was a little unsure. But what if Nic saw her dancing with Noah. Maybe he'd think she didn't like him, even though that's what Jade told her to do. Flirt with other boys to see if he cared, but she probably only wanted to get her mind off of him. But Nic wasn't even here now.
"Oh, I don't know,"

The cookie was indeed good. Although it happened to be her first one, she was drinking quite a lot of punch earlier. She occupied herself with the food table-- at least she made the impression that she occupied herself with the food table. What fun was that? This was a dance, afterall.
"Oh, come on Stone," he said, nudging her with his elbow. "I'm sure you're not that bad. Even me grandmum dances,"
He looked around the room. "Are you afraid someone's going to see you? That's the point isn't it? To get other people dancing?" He made a daring move and grabbed her left wrist. He pulled on it-- almost like a little boy. "C'mon Stone!" he tried to pull her to the dance floor. "At least the macarena?" he pleaded.
Alas! Was this Lauren acting weak? The Slytherin Warrior Princess was afraid to dance? Good, something that makes her uncomfortable...maybe something I'm better at than her.

Ezekiel strolled into the great hall, a few people had arrived but he couldn't tell if he was late or not. Carrying papers in his pocket he found a cozy little corner and stood, leaning against the wall, watching over the students.
Just like the students in the hall he was in costume too, he was wearing his usual black clothes but his skin was much paler, almost grey; his eyes were a blood red and two horns about four inches in length protruded from his forehead and his hair was ebony with crimson streaks spiked out at odd angles, he had actually enjoyed getting ready for this ball, even if he wasn't invited. He kept a cool face as his hand lay atop his wand in his coat pocket, his gaze; ever watchful of anything out of ordinary.

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." "You look great to," Jynx said smiling at Matty and her costume and watching as she felt the fabric on his shirt. "Hi Ray, I'm Jynx." he said holding out his hand to the smaller Ravenclaw girl. "I hope I wasn't too late in arriving," he said turning and looking back at Matty. He didn't even realize that the ball had already started and hoped that he hadn't missed to much of it.

"Thanks, and nope, nothing has really happened yet. No one is dancing or anything" Matty shruged as she took her hand away from his shirt. Looking back over to Ray she woundered if she was suposed to be here with anyone, wether friend or date. Looking up to the roof, it was really quite pleasent. Just as she looked around in the sky, a cloud crossed its path with the moon, giving everything a erie feeling. But gazing back down to where infact she was, he eyes met with Jynx's own and she smiled.

Pat had been staring up at the bat eyes on the ceiling, lost in his own thoughts, when he heard Krissy say "Heya kitty" He looked in front of him, where her voice had come from, but the person standing there looked very different from Krissy, although he could tell it was still her. The sight of Krissy in her costume left Pat speechless for a moment. His eyes took in everything from her hair, which now matched his own, to her bitten mouse ears, to her torn clothes, all the way down to her boots. "Wow..." was all he could manage to say at first. He now understood why she had insisted he come to this ball as a cat; she was dressed as a half-eaten mouse, so their costumes matched up quite well. "Wow," he said again. He continued, "Krissy, you look... wow, you look fantastic." He stepped forward and laid a swift kiss on her cheek. "How'd ya think of this one?" he asked, referring to her costume choice. He hadn't forgotten her birthday present in his pocket, he was just waiting for the right moment to give it to her. It was driving her nuts. Arianna hadn't been here for five minutes and she was ready to head back out. Who was she kidding anyway? And how in the world did Krissy get anyone to come to the dance as Arianna's date? Waiting for a full two seconds after Krissy had arrived, Arianna pushed away from the wall and headed after the two Huffles. "Krissy!" she whispered loudly, the desperation showing clear in her voice. "I'm sorry for interrupting, but...are you sure about this?" Krissy's cheek's went a bright red colour as Pat stood there speechless, not being able to say anything but wow. Her smiled widend greatly as he gave her a kiss on the cheek. She couldn't hepl but smile he had justsaid she looked awesome."I thought of amouse myself, but Ari helped me with the half eaten idea" Krissy grinend to him. It was at this moment that thatexactly person turned up next to her. "Speakof the devil" Krissy said to Ari with a small laugh. Her eyes looked Ari up and down. Her costume looked kick-ass. She could though, see the worry on Ari's face. She gave Ari a reassuring smile. "Don't worry" she said calmly to Ari "It'll all be good" She knew that if the date she had organised for Ari didn't show up Krissy herself would kill him.

"You're sure?" Arianna asked, raising an eyebrow. One of her big kitty ears flickered slightly. If Arianna wasn't so worried about what could happen in the next few hours, she'd probably find it exciting that the charm at worked so well.
"You said...Did you mean to say it would be someone I would like?" Arianna continued. "You did mean that, right? Because I heard you say it was someone I do like and...I can't think of anyone. I don't like anyone in this school and you know it."
As anyone might guess, this was quite a new experience for the girl. She'd been nervous over date before, of course, but this...this was different. Arianna was downright terrified. She didn't know who her date was at all. And to make matters worse, Krissy had set it up. If the night didn't go well....Arianna might not talk to her for while. An hour or two at least.

"Great, I really meant to get here when it started, but I had to put the finishing touches on my outfit," Jynx said with a smile widening on his face. He was just happy to be here at last and thought that his and Matty's costumes looked perfect together. "I think we make a great couple in these outfits, they just go together so well." he said cheerfully. Wondering if Matty wanted to go and walk around or get a drink or something, but not wanting to ask incase Ray was still talking to her.

Matty blushed at Jynx's comment on them being a great couple together. She thought that it might be a good idea to get a drink or something. She looked over Jynx and gave him a wink, thinking at maby he was thinking the same thing. Possibly they could just go get a drink for a few minutes then come back with one for Ray too. Considering that it would be mean to just ditch her, so they would just go and get her one, leaving them to talk alone for a second. She played with Jynxs eyes for a second before smiling and saying "Hey Ray do you mind if you go and get a drink, we'll get you one too of corse?"
