After the Dance (open)

[Jason Williams]

After The Valentines Day Dance

Jason Walked into the common room, his tie was undone and hanging from his neck form both sides. He looked around the room "I cant be the first one back" he said to himself walking over to the table where a bunch of papers sat, no note form anyone indicating anyone was back yet "hmm" he said to himself as he walked towed the wall. He knocked on it in different places until he found the spot he wanted. He pulled out his wand "REUCTO" he said as a hole was blasted into the wall. He reached in and pulled out a case of Butter Beer. He had been busted earlier for sneaking a second case in but this was the first one he had snuck in and he hid it earlier in the day. He pointed his wand back at the wall "REPARTO" he said as the wall returned to its original state. He opened the case and pulled out a bottle. "OOOO Yeah" he said opening the Bottle. Jason Walked over to the chair, he looked over to the Fire place and pulled out his wand again, " Incendio" he said ad a fire appeared in the fire place. He plopped down in the chair and took a sip of his butter beer. He looked over to the Entrance when some one walked in....

(Open!!)

[Orla Quirke]

Orla had been very careful on the seemingly endless steps up the tower leading to the Ravenclaw Common Room, wary of the black satin of her dress. She'd danced a little, drank a little, talked a little, but a person could really only watch so much slow dancing without the sentiment starting to eat at their soul like acid.

She expected to be back sooner than most of the others who lingered over the dance floor, sucking every drop of experience from the night. She was nearly surprised to find the room occupied, even if it was singularly so.

"Ah, our resident lush," she teased, with a smile. "Don't let the stuff addle your brain too much, or we might have to downgrade you to a Hufflepuff."

[Jason Williams]

Jason watched his fellow Ravenclaw walk in. He smiled "Cheers". He took another drink of his butter beer.

"Ah, our resident lush," she teased, with a smile. "Don't let the stuff addle your brain too much, or we might have to downgrade you to a Hufflepuff."

Jason started to laugh, "Hey Hey Hey, it rots your liver, not your brain get it right" he said with a grin. "thats pretty good did you come up with that all on your own" Jason leaned forward and grabbed a bottle out of the case and held it up. "want one?" he asked her.
Jason took a swig out of his own Bottle polishing it off.

[Orla Quirke]

Orla was hesitant. "I've had a few glasses of punch, and they tasted a little too much like paint thinner to be unfermented. Your handiwork?"

After a moment or two more, she accepted, and twisted off the top, taking a small swig. She posed herself casually on a leather couch and let herself relax for a moment.

"I didn't happen to see you there, by the way. Did you have a date?"

[Jason Williams]

Jason grinned "noooo, what ever are you talking about" he said grinning. Jason handed her the bottle and grabbed another one himself. He didn't know weather to call Vanessa a date, they danced together but that was about it besides talked.
Jason twisted off the top and took a swig. "No I didn't", he Finlay said "But i was there"

Jason took a swig of his Butter Beer. "What about you, did you have a date?" Jason asked. Jason leaned back in the chair. "it was a fun night i must admit"

[Orla Quirke]

"Oh no, couldn't be bothered to find one. Too many other things on my mind, I guess." She paused a moment.

"It was very nice. Exactly what you'd expect. It would probably be wonderful enough if you were infatuated enough to see things rosily. Interesting statistics on date-switching if you were enough of a birdbrain to calculate such things rather than to dance." Her butterbeer was somehow half-gone already. Was she smiling? It felt like she was smiling. Hm. Was she happy? She might have been happy.

[Jason Williams]

Jason smiled " aww that sucks," he said looking at his butter beer. "well I'm sure the next dance we have you will find you one"

Interesting statistics on date-switching if you were enough of a birdbrain to calculate such things rather than to dance."

Jason looked at Orla and grinned "well you can be the one doing the statistics or whats its, Ill be that guy in the Corner taking stats on how many of these i can have before i pass out" he said holding up his butter beer and smiling "though i would gather alot, this stuffs not that strong"
Jason saw her bottle was half empty " theres plenty more here if you want it, thou you probably don't want to know how i got it" he said grinning

[Orla Quirke]

Orla shrugged. "I guess it doesn't really matter. It's more fun to dance with a lot of different people, so you don't run out of small talk as easily. I'm not the best conversationalist, as you've probably noticed already. My strengths lie in different arenas." She sipped again.

"Is there a story there?" She asked, eyebrow raised. "Indulge me and make something good up if there isn't. There's something terribly boring about the time right after a party, and I was hoping you could distract me."

[Jason Williams]

Jason grinned "O yeah, when the shipment came in for the dance, I had the house elves sit aside two cases, the first one i got in here with no problem" he said still having a grin on his face. Jason took a swig out of his own butter beer. "The second one on the other hand i got caught and for the next week i will be spending my evenings in detention"
Detention did not bother Jason, god knows hes been in enough trouble, even if his goals were Nobel. Jason smiled "Meh it happens"

[Orla Quirke]

"Well, that's a shame. Who caught you? Did you transfigure it at all?" Orla ran her hands through her hair, and propped her head up on her fist. It was getting late, but she didn't want to be alone just yet.

"Well, at least it might not be boring. Who've you got for detention?"

[Jason Williams]

Jason smiled and finished off his bottle "I have no idea, they didn't tell me" Jason said reaching for another bottle. He grabbed one and twisted off the top. He took a swig and grabbed another bottle and put it on the table for Orla. "To be perfectly honest I don't really care who i have it with" Jason said looking at his bottle. He took a swig and and looked at her and smiled. "I think it was worth it" Jason said holding up his bottle. He leaned back in his chair and took a deep breath

[Orla Quirke]

The magical glow of the fire danced along the curved walls and windows of the tower. At this hour, the contrast between the light and dark, illumination and shadow was striking. The orange glow reflected off the gold lettering on the shelves the lined the wall and looked like sunlight peeking through the cracks in dark curtains at daybreak.

Orla smiled. "I've found in my limited experience that Transfiguration detentions tend to be interesting, groundskeeper detentions tend to be itchy and unpleasant, and with Potions teachers it'll either be fascinating or the most boring hours of your life."

[Jason Williams]

Jason took another swig of his bottle. He leaned forward and pulled his tie all the way off and set it on the table. He looked over into the fire that he had started. "Transfiguration detention i would end up transforming something into something destructive, Grounds keeper Detention I would be playing with Cooper the whole time, which i guess isn't that bad, and Potions i would blow the place up" Jason said with a grin. He took a swig of his bottle and turned to her and smiled "thats the way it go's"

[Orla Quirke]

Orla set her now empty bottle on the side table and mused at the case sitting on the floor in front of her. It was probably a very bad idea to have another. She was already being extroverted; Who knew what the next surge of liquid courage would bring? Definitely not.

But then again...

No.

"A Ravenclaw bad at Potions and Transfiguration? Do you do anything but bring shame upon on our once illustrious house?" She smiled and took a deep breath. "I'm sure next you'll tell me that you're late to classes, spill things on Library books and turn in scrolls that are less than four inches more than what the teacher asked for!"

[Jason Williams]

Jason Laughed " I'm not bad at Transfiguration, I would Transfigure something funny because i would be board, and as for potions meh she hates me so yea id brew something explosive." Jason said taking another drink of the butter beer. Jason turned back to Orla and smiled and saw the hesitation in her concerning the butter beer. "I have plenty of Detentions" he said before taking a swig of butter beer. " They don't bother me much"
