Faerietale Endings Fall Ball 2022 Locked

Perched up on the juniper tree, the animagus had a good view of the event from above. Aurelia was supposed to oversee the event with her housemate Pierre, it wasn't in her intentions to leave the vicinity unattended, especially not when the Gryffindor boy was nowhere to be seen. Until she saw the dhampir nonchalantly wandering to the food table below the tree, oblivious to the shadow of an owl behind the thick branches. even nonchalantly and obvious to her presence up the thick branch of the. His presence certainly made her uncomfortable, as always, some things never changed.

As quick as Howard was to show up and have his fill was he to leave towards the petting zoo. Aurelia had something to tell the dhampir of course. While it had only been a month into the semester, the thought had constantly been in her head, among other things, something she just had to tell Howard about. Their history was a turbulent one, she could only hope that it would be easy for her. So a little while more she stayed in the courtyard before the Eurasian Eagle-owl spread her wings and soared towards the grounds.

She hoped that hell didn't break loose in her absence, or that Pierre - wherever he was - would maintain some level of control if it did. leaves for zoo

"Thanks! I love yours!" She smiled "I like the colour, it suits you very well!" The Ravenclaw thought for a moment, last year there had been a fall ball (she had not attended it) and then there had been a spring ball. "I think there is a fall ball, and then a spring ball, I never attended the fall ball last year. But I did go to the Spring ball, that was interesting..." She thought back to the last ball, "The champions were announced. Edward, my ball date, asked me to be his girlfriend, and I dumbly said yes." She sighed, "I don't know why I did, I had no feelings for him, I barely knew him at the time. It only brought heart break later on, when I told him that we could not go one as partners." She shrugged, "But I think it was the right thing to do, at least I feel like it was better then wasting his and my time on each other." She stopped talking, realizing that Lily most likely did not care about Clair's past drama. "Sorry!" She said, her tone still cheerful. "The balls often have lots of Drama so I've heard."
As Clair looked around she noticed someone she knew, She waved towards him, deciding that it looked like he was chatting with someone already. "Do you Know Colin?" She asked, pointing at Colin, her attempt at changing the subject was rather lame.

Rita`s outfit:
It is finally time for the autumn ball! Rita had been waiting for the ball since she heard about the ball in September. She had finished her preparations in the lavatory, namely putting on her blue dress, high heels, and makeup, as well as combing her not-so-long but excessive black hair. It was time to enter the courtyard and have fun dancing while meeting new people. Rita knew the students from other schools had already entered Hogwarts to join the ball and the Hexwizard tournament. It was a brilliant opportunity for Rita to interact with new people and make new friends as an open and extroverted girl who can never have too many friends.

When Rita entered the courtyard, she found there were already many people dancing and chatting there, and she was not sure who to interact with. Luckily, she found a fellow Hufflepuff she has seen at the Hot Chocolate Party organized by the young prefect @Emma Wynn in the Hufflepuff common room, Marius Brown. She quickly walked to Marius and waved to him, "Hi, Marius! I`m Rita! Do you still remember me from the Hot Chocolate Party in the common room? Would you like to dance with me tonight, just friends? Or do you already have a dance partner?" Rita smiled at Marius while waiting for him to respond.

She also found one of her best friends Lily waiting for her to join. Rita also waved to Lily with a big smile on her face while waiting to see Marius`s reaction, "Hi, Lily! I bet you`ve been waiting for me to come! You look gorgeous tonight! Excited about the ball as well? I believe we will both have a great time tonight!"

Eloise’s smile widened just as his did, they both noticed that they had coordinated their outfits without realizing it.
she looks so good! The cream shirt, red skirt and green corsage, along with her boots and red beret - they look amazing on her!! Though anything would look amazing on her Lloyd smiled, amazed that she had agreed to with him.
Elegant! She called me elegant!! Lloyd was practically floating on a cloud due to that comment. She probably wouldn’t and didn’t notice but his whole face lit up and he blushed.
He also didn’t notice that she didn’t seem completely enthused about the evening.
As they walked up together, he was defiantly in awe of the decorations. They were way different than the muggle ones he knew.
“Wow…” Lloyd said, forgetting to speak French. He was raised to speak both French and English, and was fluent in both.
“Darling… this is amazing! What should we do first?” he asked, still in English without realizing it.
He spun around, letting go of Eloise’s hand momentarily so he could get a full view of everything.
“Wow… wow…. Wow!!! They outdid themselves!!”
Smiling, he turned back to Eloise. Bowing, her offered her his hand.
Raising an eyebrow, he asked “Would you give me this dance, my darling?”

Keith was surprised a bit, Colin growled at him. But then he stopped, and Colin apologized, "It's fine Colin," Keith said. "I knew it, I wonder why he is here and not somewhere else, not that it's a bad thing, but he is probably dealing with a killer headache, and have pain all over. That has to be why he growled, I'd do that to, though, not growl, I'd yell... Should I bother him much?" Keith thought, then he looked at Colin again, "I know Colin..." He said.

Colin then said something about Keith smelling nice, "Oh, um... Thanks? I doubt you would believe I ran most of the morning, given I smell good. I took a nice shower after running, sorry... it's weird, telling someone why I smell nice and clean..." Keith slightly chuckled, then began to speak again, "Thank you! I got the crown from a muggle shop. I thought it would be a bit extra, but I'm glad you think it's cool."

Colin made room, and Keith sat beside him. Colin nodded towards Clair, Keith looked at her. "Woah, she looks good." Keith listen to Colin speak some more, then answered his question.

"Actually, I came here alone... I just don't get to dress up like this much, so I figured I'd have fun." He told the white haired boy. Then Keith got an idea, a brilliant idea, at least he thought it was brilliant, "Colin! You should ask Clair to dance with you sometime tonight! I'm sure she would say yes, I mean, I think you look amazing! She'd be crazy to say no." Keith said.

He smiled and waited for Colin to respond, excited, because he heard about a petting zoo?

"Also, I heard there is a petting zoo thing somewhere on the grounds, wanna cheak it out later?" Keith asked.

Every year Logan had attended the fall ball when it was held. Normally, the girl would have attended by herself, meeting up with friends throughout the ball to enjoy herself, but this year she had been asked by someone. Sure, she had absolutely no idea who had asked her, but she had been asked either way.

Slowly making her way out into the Courtyard, Logan sighed as she looked down at Sherlock trotting along beside her in his own little suit. The Hufflepuff girl had gone for a long gold ballgown type dress, matching gold sandals covering her feet. Her hair was left its natural brown, but was pulled up into fancy low bun with silver star and moon accessories accenting her dark hair. Around her left wrist was a bracelet, a simple gold chain with star charms. It was a present, she assumed, from whoever had asked her. Logan had decided to keep her makeup natural as well, not wanting to make everything too over the top, although her dress made her stand out as it was.

"Okay Sherlock, we need to find a copy of the gift," she muttered to the feline. She assumed she was looking for what matched the gold bracelet present on her wrist, but there was always a possibility that she was looking for something completely different. Logan looked around with a slight huff, deciding that maybe food would be the first place to look. It was a chilly evening, so she assumed whoever had asked her would go towards the food first for something warm. Maybe she was completely wrong though, maybe whoever had asked her was not even present yet.

Ash chuckled when Marius complimented her gown and said it was fit for a true Queen. Interesting that he didn't say fit for a Princess, but Queen was more badass, so she would take it. And of course, she thanked him back. After that, Ash and Marius entered the Courtyard together.

She was amazed by how beautifully decorated the ball was. Most people around them were dressed in their own unique outfits, a few were breathtaking, and a few were just strangely interesting. It was truly like they entered the fairy tale book. She even saw tiny, real fairies for the very first time, flying around and having fun own their own. While they were heading to the F&B table, Marius told her a rumor that the magical ball committee sometimes sprinkled potion into drinks that could cause comical effects on those unlucky victims. "What!? Seriously! That's crazy!", Ash gasped in surprise. Even though it was kind of mean to spike people's drinks with unknown potions, but she still laughed along with Marius because it was a funny idea. As long as it was harmless, then it should be ok.

Suddenly, Ash heard someone calling Marius's name. She turned around and saw it was an Asian looking girl who looked about their age. She had straight black hair, wearing glasses, had makeup on and wore a pretty blue dress like a Princess. Ash watched the girl walking towards them and waving in a very cheerful manner. Ah, could she be a friend of Marius? Ash thought to herself, it would be nice to get to know more new people. However, before Ash could say anything, what the girl did next, shocked her a bit. She only greeted Marius and completely ignored Ash, who was literally right next to him. The friendly smile on the Gryffindor Prefect's face faded and replaced with a confused expression. Did the girl straight up ignored her?

Ash stood there and listened to the girl talking to Marius. Then she learned from the conversation that the girl's name was Rita and that she and Marius met at the Hot Chocolate Party in the common room before. When she mentioned "common room", Ash could guess that the girl was a Hufflepuff like Marius. She then proceeded to ask Marius if he would like to be her dance partner tonight, and then she seemed to saw someone else she knew and waved to get that person's attention. Still not noticing her existence.

Ash couldn't help but slightly frown at the girl in front of them. It was not that she was jealous or anything, not to mention, Rita said it would be just a friendly dance. It was the "ignore" part kind of bothered her. But perhaps the girl was simply too excited to see people she knew and didn't notice her at all, so Ash decided not to jump into a conclusion too soon. If she could be an acquaintance of Marius, then she couldn't be that bad, right?

"Hello there." Ash forced herself to smile and greeted the Hufflepuff girl politely, "So your name is Rita, an acquaintance of Marius, I see.... I'm Ashleigh Hazelwood, first year, Gryffindor. It's a pleasure to meet you." Ash also wanted to tell Rita that she was actually Marius's date, but since Rita asked him if he had a dance partner or not. Ash would let him answer it first. If he wanted to dance with Rita, fine by her. It wasn't like it would be the end of the world.

Action: Smiling politely at Rita while also waiting for Marius's reaction.

Action: Illusia arrives, complains about the cold, and gets jumpscared by Elsian's spider.

Lovely Creature in effect.

Illusia had been ready for the ball ahead of time, hair done and with her dress on since almost an hour before the official opening time of the event, and yet, she was not among the first students to be there like she'd imagined. She was gliding down the hallways with her dress rippling behind her at ten past, so she kept a brisk pace. Even if her heels were a bit bothersome. She was wearing a muted blue, layered organza dress, and each layer lifted lightly with each one of her footstep. It made it appear as if she had more of a bounce to her walk today. Certainly, the matching ribbon tie shoes made it appear so. Her hair was gathered in a loose bun on the crown of her head, barely held in place by the structured curls themselves. This was the best she could do presently, but she thought it looked fine for the making of an 11-year-old. When one curl came loose near her temple she never minded it, she was too fascinated with all the grandeur around her.

She made her way down the last flight of stairs, gripping the railing to not lose her footing as she was marveling at each bypassing upper-year student. Some had elaborate makeup or jewelry, some floated by with gowns and jeweled tuxedos that she imagined would've put past court ladies and gentlemen to shame. Someone kindly held the door open for her, but she froze in her spot for a moment as a chilling gust of wind blew in her face from the yard. It was probable that she'd be driven to retrieving her cloak later on, if no one had thought of warming the place up by then. She was sure it wouldn't be a hard task with a bit of magic, but what did she know, she was just a first-year. Slightly bitter, she thanked the student keeping the door open and walked outside.

Illusia made sure to not let her shoes catch on the cobblestones as she headed straight across the square. She'd spotted the main attraction, that is, the table brimming with food on silver platters by the side of the courtyard. She could entertain herself with those for a bit while keeping an eye out for her Hufflepuff friends whom she'd discussed the ball with. There were so many people that it wouldn't surprise her if she'd have to go deliberately looking for them.

She was piling pastries on her plate once she saw movement from the corner of her eye. Something was under the table. Maybe the forest animals had come to enjoy the feast too, she thought, it was very befitting of the faerietale theme. The thought almost made her feel like a princess protagonist from a children's story. She leaned back to look if the animal was perhaps a squirrel, or some kind of magical creature, like a Jarvey for example. What she saw was a spindly leg with too many joints, and an awful lot of short, thick hair.

"E-eeeeek!"
Illusia flung her plate. Where it ended up, she didn't care, and with a crazy stomping fit she backed up from the table, wholly believing the creature was coming for her ankles.
"AH! There are spiders!"She exclaimed and wrapped her arms around herself with her nails digging into her arms, like she felt the need to scratch. Now she noticed the boy who seemed to already be aware that the critter was there, but wasn't doing anything about it.
"You! You're looking a bit suspicious there, blue coat person", she accused, pointing her finger at the student, making a bigger ruckus. Judging by the height, they were an older student. Of course they'd be, she'd heard it was the more experienced students who liked to pull these jokes.
