✽Pureblood balls. What was it with purebloods and always trying to show off who was best by torturing everyone by forcing them to dress up and waste their time socializing over drinks? Dylan had never understood the hype. To him, pureblood balls were one word and one word alone. Boring. He considered it a waste of his time walking around with his head held high as bystanders glared in his direction. Yeah, his family had lost a bit of their reputation by moving all the way to America.
Letting out a sigh, Dylan followed his parents into the massive doorway that led into the ballroom the actual ball was to be held in.
“Remember, Dylan, keep your head high and stand tall. You belong here just like everyone else.” His father reminded him sternly.
Dylan shrugged like he could care less what people thought. It was true. He was in England right now. England. Where Summer grew up. Well, Summer probably had not grown up where he currently was, but she had still lived in England. He missed his best friend dearly and wished more than anything he could see her again. She would brighten his world like she always had.
Casting his thoughts away, Dylan moved to the drinks table of the ballroom to select a drink that would not make him forget the night though he dearly wished he could. Then again, underage was underage and had to be respected.

Alicia Cassidy
Alicia Matthews was semi-excited for this pureblood ball. She knew there would be people there she likely did not know but yet her mom was forcing her to go. The only thing she was excited for was the dancing. Her mom had gotten a full invitation and though her father had grumbled and complained he finally agreed to go. Alicia's two sisters were definitely more excited to go than she was. Cassidy was doing her hair, making the pinkish curls more curly. "Sis, you have to dance with at least one boy.". Alicia glared at the wall, wishing Cassidy could see it as Charlotte broke into giggles. "Why? Who says I want to dance with someone?" Cassidy gives a long suffering sigh as she finished. "Give one boy a chance please, I am begging you." Alicia sighs but gives her sister an affirmative answer before going to change into her dress. In about thirty minutes, the family was ready to go and they all traveled by floo powder. They all swiped the ash off their clothes as they stepped out and her parents greeted Dylan's parents. The children waited around for a good ten minutes before Alicia finally walked over to the drink table. She stopped suddenly though when she saw a boy already there. "Oh hi." she took a drink and sipped.

✽Dylan glanced up at the sound of a girl’s soft voice. His mother had taught him enough to at least be a respectful gentleman even though he would much rather be hiding away from the world at home enjoying the freedom that came from the woods. The fresh clear forest breeze and the scent of pine needles and. . . life.
Then he locked eyes with the girl that had uttered the word of greeting to him. Her bright blue eyes sparkled like his own, but he was her opposite. Her hair was bright where his was dark. The only semblance they had to each other was the dark clothes. Her black dress cascaded around her. As if she was a princess.
“Hi.” Dylan gave her a slight smile.
The girl seemed around his age. At least he would not be alone in this, but what if she was like all the other purebloods in the room that only wanted to flaunt their status? Dylan did not have the mental capacity to deal with that and not explode out of the room. Then, he looked back into her eyes. She did not seem like her intentions were unkind or stuck up. She seemed. . . nice. Friendly. Someone Dylan had the feeling he would get along with if he gave her the chance. Which he would.
“So, I’m Dylan. Dylan Astor. And you are?” He questioned as he extended his hand for a courteous shake. His mother would be proud of the gentleman he was being. It was something she had worked countless years schooling him to be and act like.

Alicia Cassidy
Charlotte
Alicia smiled at the boy in front of her and shook his hand. "Alicia. Alicia Matthews. A student at Durmstrang. What school do you go to?" She asks as she takes a sip of her unalcoholic drink. Her gaze went around the room, raking in the expensive stuff around. Apparently he was another rich pureblood but he definitely didn't act like it. That and he was kind of cute. Scratch that. He was hot. And from the looks of it, he was about her age. Alicia's gaze snapped to her sisters who were watching her like a hawk. She started to count to ten and just as she hit ten, her sisters just had to come over and take their drinks. "Hi, I'm Cassidy. Alicia's much older sister." Cassidy gives him an award winning smile before Charlotte introduced herself. "I'm Charlotte, the youngest!" Alicia sighed and punched her nose. "Excuse my sisters, Dylan they don't know when to stay away and when to pop in. They always choose the worst times." She rolls her eyes and gives Cassidy a evil eye which was only returned with a sweet smile. Her eyes flicked to her parents, who were still deep in conversation.
