Embarrassingly enough, it took a while for Anastasia to decide on an actual dress to wear. Go figure-- she had no red or pink dresses. For someone like her, it was sort of a crime. Settling on a clinged tux-dress, the blonde sidled into the dance hall, open-heeled boots clicking lightly on the tile.
Tugging absently on the quaint old charm bracelet she had paired with the thing, it took the Slytherin just a few moments to find a familiar face, expertly dodging through the spaces between the crowd-- a necessary skill where she was from, without it it was good luck to you going to wherever you need to go-- to stand next to the lone, stoic figure against the walls, looking nonchalantly at the crowd. "I really didn't expect you to show up," came the droll remark from the blonde, a dry smirk on her face. Watching the older students making their way gracefully-- and some not so gracefully, but they looked like they were having fun, so she figured that was good-- Anastasia nudged her friend, bumping an elbow lightly against him. "Anyone capture your eye yet?" she asked, a tiny grin accompanying the question.

 ✯ You say we're both little people and you like it that way, but in time I'm gonna put this body to shame
✯ And grow old, wear a suit like my old man. Pack up all my things and get my a** out of town.
✯ We've got it good, whether you like this town or not. I know it's small but with a big head, it's bound to get hot...
In the summer, but the summer is a bummer if you can't leave this pathetic excuse for a town. ✯
That holds all your memories, a lifetime of crushes and your broken dreams. ✯
To be anywhere but here, but baby anywhere is away from me. ✯

Chris peeked into the ballroom from behind the door. This was so exciting! A fancy ball like this couldn't come around all the time, could it? Looking around, he gawked at the amazing decorations and just how fancy the ballroom was. The boy stepped fully into the room, adjusting his suit jacket. For a twelve year old, he thought he had cleaned up nicely, especially from his usual attire. He wore a clean pair of jeans and a collared purple shirt. Jordan had lent him the suit jacket, but it fit alright. He even had shoes on, showing that he really did go all out for this event. Chris wandered along the outskirts of the dancefloor, until he came across a girl with hair whiter than fresh snow standing alone. The boy approached her, a gentle and warm smile gracing his features. "Why are ya standin' here all alone? A pretty girl like you should be dancin' and havin' a good time." he said. The boy always had been quick to compliment others, and he meant every word he said. It was a nice habit to have, he thought.
OOC: You looked like you could use a friend. o3o

✯ This midwest town is gonna miss you. ✯

spaceEcho flushed bright red at the look on her face when he put his hand on her hip. It wasn't as though he were being fresh! That was where it was supposed to go! Didn't everyone know that? He'd thought it was fairly common knowledge... perhaps not? "Er, ah, sorry, uh, about that," he stammered, but his hand remained in place. He didn't really know how to lead without it there, so he was at a loss for what else to do. He watched her watching her feet, and kept things slow, but found that he was pretty impressed when she kept the rhythm and only stumbled twice. That was better than he or his sister had ever managed... and neither of them had been wearing heels at the time. She was doing very well, despite her belief that she was going to trample his feet.
spaceHe blinked oddly at her comment, and the look on her face. He didn't like that look; that look reminded him of his sister. He was suddenly reminded that, when he and Tanya had first met, Gypsy had been intent on dragging the younger girl into her circle, and that Tanya had gone with her and the other girl when they'd escaped Madam Malkin's. In some ways, Tanya and Gypsy were very similar... a fact that normally didn't phase him, but when faced with that look... he blanched. "Odd because he's dancing with her," the brunette insisted, tilting his head up in a pose very similar to his grandfather's 'I mean business' look. "They don't even hardly know each other; I mean, I'm not surprised at her, of course she'd dance with him, he's my friend and she always has to stick her nose in my business. I'm just surprised he's going along with it is all." Still, a light pink filled his cheeks. Oh, now he was blushing? What on Earth had gotten into him? He didn't care who Kas danced with; the boy could dance with Nearly Headless Nick for all he cared. It was just odd; that was all there was to it.

Yannic was a little surprised when a voice rang out to one side of him. It was familiar, but he had been so lost in his thoughts that the boy failed to realize just who was talking until his eyes focused and he could see Anita standing beside him. The boy smirked, crossing his arms as he leaned against the wall. ”You’re one to talk…” He began, his eyes doing a quick sweep of the girl’s outfit before he continued with his thought. ”You do know this is a Cupid’s ball, right love? Not a funeral?” He teased, a devilish grin on his face before the boy stuck his tongue out at her. It was somewhat difficult for Yannic, knowing that someone he was acquainted with and someone he could consider a true friend had been sorted in a separate house than him, but there was nothing the boy could do about it. At least they were taking most of the same classes together and could spend time there. ”And besides…” He added, his eyes twinkling with a certain deviousness. ”Lets be honest here, I love Valentines oh so much.” He added, thick with sarcasm as he rolled his eyes at the thought.
When prompted, Yannic pursed his lips, taking one lingering look out into the crowd before sighing and shrugging. ”Options are pretty limited from what I can see, so not as of now… but who knows? And where’s your date for tonight, Anita?” He inquired, chuckling softly at the thought of the girl ever even having a date.

Ani is...
CURRENTLY // dressed up for the ball
CURRENTLY // single
CURRENTLY WITH // Christofer Little
CURRENTLY FEELING // excited
CURRENTLY THINKING // 'yay! someone to talk to!'
Ani looked over in mild surprise and saw the boy smiling at her. She blushed a bit as his compliment but smiled back lightly all the same. "Well I hadn’t quite decided what to do yet". She said, answering his question. She took a moment to take in this new person. He was well dressed in a suit jacket and jeans and had a really cute smile. Ani wondered why he had decided to come talk to her, a probably fairly lost looking first year, instead of looking for friends of his or so. But she was glad to have someone to talk to. After all, she hadn’t met that many people yet since the sorting was only a day ago. Suddenly she noticed that she had been looking at the boy for much to long, so lost in thought, and looked away quickly, embarrassedly tucking a strand of hair behind her ear, trying to pretend like nothing had happened.
Loyal...And a hard worker to boot,
You help those in need, I see,
Then this house is perfect for that attitude...
Hufflepuff!

TOMORROW you will KNOW
There's NO BETTER DAY than TODAY

'Til these DAYS GO AWAY Gotta LIVE IT with LOVE

Gotta live them with love: Happy
Again and again and again: Here's Wren...
Live it with love: Wren
Again and again and again: Dance Floor

Elsie beamed at Wren "Happy Valentine's Day, Wren!" she chirped. She was assuming he was probably on the lookout for Tanya, who he seemed close with. The Gryffindor girl seemed capable of becoming fast friends with just about anyone, and Elsie attributed it to her charismatic personality. Tanya could strike up a lively conversation with anyone, any time. "Tanya's dancing with Echo," she told him. Then he asked her openly if she liked the waltz, and she blushed a little and nodded, because being asked by a boy to dance was something she had no experience with, even if it was a friend. She hoped that he really wanted to dance and wasn't just asking because she was by herself- she didn't mind, really, but nodded eagerly anyways. "Oh, yes. I had to take dance lessons when I was little." One of the benefits of coming from a well off family, she supposed. Her father might not have ever been very involved in her and her sisters life, but he made sure they knew how to conduct themselves as befitting a proper lady. "Do you want to dance with me? It's fine if you don't," she assured him kindly.
There's NO BETTER DAY than TODAY to LIVE with LOVE.
TOMORROW you will KNOW
There's NO BETTER DAY than TODAY
We HOLD UP and FALL DOWN
These DAYS are FADING ALL AWAY They're FADING AWAY
How we'd GET SO FAR?
FAR from WHO we REALLY ARE?

There was a тιмє I used to look into my father's eyes. In a happy home. I was a кιиg, I had a golden throne.
Those days are gσиє, now the ｍｅｍｏｒｙ'ｓ on the wall. I hear the ѕσиgѕ from the places where I was born.
Why. Why this day of all days. Chance hated this day. He hated it more than any other day, because it was a day of love. He had no one to love, so it was pointless for him to even be here, but his sister had asked that little blonde boy to the dance. Ugh... "Almost done, Chance?" Cecille asked. The redheaded teen carefully pinned back his sister's long white hair with glittery barrettes. Her dull eyes stared into the mirror, where Chance met her gaze. She looked so grown up... He shook his head, pushing the thought away. "Yeah. You're ready." he mumbled. Cecille smiled, standing to hug her brother. She was so excited! "Thank you, Chance. You need to have fun tonight too, okay?" Chance froze. "CiCi, I don't know about--" "Promise?" .... The boy sighed. "....I'll try." Chance took Cecille's arm in his and slowly walked her to the ballroom. Once there, he stood near the door, waiting for his sister's date. Hopefully, he wouldn't take long to get there. Chance could think of a million other places he'd rather be than here. {OOC: Sick!Heather is sick, thus her posts are horrid.} Chance and Cecille
There was a тιмє I met a girl of a different kind. We ruled the ωσяℓ∂. I thought I'd never lose her out of sight.
We were so уσυиg. I think of her ｎｏｗ ａｎｄ ｔｈｅｎ. I still hear the ѕσиgѕ reminding me of a friend.
_________________________________________________________________________
x That's where I had my first нєαятвяєαк... I still remember how it all ¢нαиgє∂...
Don't you worry, don't you worry, ¢нιℓ∂. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
See, ｈｅａｖｅｎ'ｓ got a plan for you.

Any dolt with half a brain∞ Can see that humankind has gone insane∞
To the point where I don't know∞ If I'll upset the status quo∞ If I throw poison in the water main∞
∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞
Listen close to everybody's heart∞ And hear that breaking sound∞
Hopes and dreams are shattering apart∞ And crashing to the ground∞
∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞
I cannot believe my eyes∞ How the world's filled with filth and lies∞
But it's plain to see∞ Darkness inside of me∞ Is on the rise∞ Dhylan led his sister into the ball, the younger girl showing her tiny status beside her brother. His hair was in its usual style, while hers had been elegantly clipped up. Dhyl had spent a few hours on her updo, and he was proud of it. She walked carefully, taking three steps to each of her brother's. She smiled up at him, seeing his ever-present frown. "Dhyl, smile. Sure, you don't have a date, but maybe one of your friends'll dance with you! You have lots of friends!" He sighed, then opened the door to the ballroom. "Here we are, Mouse. Have fun, and if you need me, come get me, okay?" He adjusted her hair, then watched as Minn crossed her arms and sighed up at him. "Dhyl, it's Valentine's Day! You gotta be happy! Please?" Dhyl sighed, then kissed his sister's nose. "I'll be fine. I think Remy said she was coming, so I can chat with her... or other people. As you said, I have friends that I can hang out with. You go have fun. I'll see you later." He smiled, then walked in, letting his sister walk into the crowd. He found a nice spot to relax and watch people, and stood there with a sigh. Dhylan and Minerva
Look around∞ We're living with the lost and found∞
Just when you thing you've almost drown∞ You find yourself on solid ground∞
And you believe there's good in everybody's heart∞

↔Wyatt walked into the decorated ballroom with an uncomfortable tug at his bowtie while his eyes scoped out looking for a familiar brunette. After the owl incident he would have thought receiving random mail would be second nature however receiving mail from a person he'd never met before (and after reading her letter he was still debating whether or not he wanted to) with an invitation to something cheesy called the Cupids Ball. He'd thought of immediately tearing up the letter and having a nice date with that bottle of Odgen's on Valentine's like he planned when a few choice words jumped at him from the parchment. So, here he was in a suit in a Scottish school he'd never been to while his little brother was over at the Nolynn house being looked after by Rosemary. It had been a little awkward floo calling the older woman and asking her to look after Kalin for a few hours. What he hadn't been expecting was the excited squeal (from both persons of interest) and an avid request that the pre-teen bring some of his desert recipes. With a shrug and no small since of wonder Wyatt had dropped his little brother off and then apparated into Hogsmeade before making the short trek to Hogwarts. Finally he spotted the tall teen hiding away from the crowds and smirked. He swerved and wheedled his way through and around the crowds until he was standing on the boy's blindside and stood there quietly for a few seconds. "You know, at these sort of events, I'd expect someone to have swept you off your feet. Or vice versa." the American's smirk widened.↔
Old, but I'm not that old I couldn't lie, couldn't lie, couldn't lie
Young, but I'm not that bold Everything that drowns me makes me wanna fly
And I don't think the world is sold
I'm just doing what we're told |

If you ever find yourself stuck in the middle of the sea✒
I'll sail the world to find you✒
If you ever find yourself lost in the dark and you can't see✒
I'll be the light to guide you✒
✒You can count on me like 1, 2, 3✒
✒I'll be there✒
✒And I know when I need it✒
✒I can count on you like 4, 3, 2✒
✒You'll be there✒
✒'Cause that's what friends are supposed to do, oh yeah✒
Romulus walked into the ballroom, his girlfriend at his side. He had a light blush on his cheeks, since it was the first time he had ever had a real valentine. Anna looked stunning too, so he couldn't have asked for a more perfect person to accompany him on the date. "Anna? D-Did I mention that you look beautiful today? W-Well, not just today, b-but everyday! I-I like your dress..." He looked at his feet, a dark blush covering his cheeks. This is probably why he only had one friend, wasn't it? He glanced back at Anna, his dark blue eyes shining in the light. "I-I'm sorry, Anna. I tried to make that not sound like I was nervous, but I'm not a great actor, am I?" He gave a light chuckle, hoping to get her to laugh as well, rather than potentially leave him to dance with her friends.
✒You'll always have my shoulder when you cry✒
✒I'll never let go, never say goodbye✒
✒You know...✒
✒If you're tossin' and you're turnin'
✒And you just can't fall asleep
✒I'll sing a song beside you

Anastasia rolled her eyes, matching her friend's smirk with one of her own. Standing proud, she bumped him again, just a little harder, but not enough to hurt. "We're celebrating the martyrdom of a saint. It definitely counts here," the blonde stated, fingers going back to twist and tug at the bracelet and ring she wore, her nervous tick showing again. It was weird not having the familiar coils of her hognose on her hands. It felt so odd. "Besides," she grinned, blue eyes glittering in like. "The red clashes with the house ethics."
"Your faith in me is astounding," the Slytherin laughed. Honestly, a date? Anastasia knew the extent of her physical attributes and they definitely weren't up to a lot of pars. "Obviously, none. But enough about me-- are you sure about the options?" There were a lot of people in the place. Even without the little push, the blonde was pretty sure Yannic could find a partner for the night without even trying. He definitely had the charm, going on, at least, and the pretty mug.
