Oliver did seem to feel sorry for me after I shared my story. As I feared. I braced for him to apologize, be overly sympathetic, like he knew what I’d gone through. I didn’t want him to be like that. Fake. "Oh- I'm sorry about that- but hey! Were here right now! You don't have to worry about that! Your dorm mates are your family now! And besides, you've got me to turn too!" He changed the subject quickly, making me feel a little better. Only a quick sorry, nothing dramatic or extravagant. He said my dorm mates were my family now. I nodded. Then he said I had him to turn to, and got my heart pounding. What did he mean by that. “I’m glad I have you.” I whispered. Before Oliver could respond, David was there apologizing.
•••
When David complimented me and Oliver’s talent, Oliver jerked like he had been slapped and made the excuse he had to go to the bathroom. “Dammit Howard.” I muttered. Then I stood up. “Oliver! Wait, please!” As I made a move towards the exit, I would realize my long dress had caught on the chair. An extra few seconds would be wasted untangling it. I said a hasty good bye to David and ran toward the exit as fast as my feet could carry me. In that moment I felt even more glad that I wasn’t wearing heels like other girls here. I had figured that since the dress covered my feet, no one would be able to see my shoes. Comfort came first, in my opinion.
Entering the halls, I slowed down and began shouting Oliver’s name, looking in the cracks and crevices of the school. “Oliver! Come back!” The blue in my hair had completely faded, leaving an angry red. Had he abandoned me? But he was embarrassed, wasn’t he? My hair would shift to a light pink. I was surely a sight to be hold, not that I could see me hair at the moment. On and on it went, me calling Oliver’s name, my hair shifting colors, and checking the person sized places where he could hide. I wasn’t sure what I was feeling, but it was strong and definitely not good.

Time : December 22Clothing : White Suit
ReducioLocation : BallroomWord Count : 207 Words"Is Ava your partner?" Said a familiar voice who he knew was Pandora, "Yeah-" he said, with his eyes closed. He was- well scared that the other person who had apologized to Ava would tell everyone at Hogwarts. Now he couldn't have that! After a few minutes, it finally sank in how stupid he was to run away- he practically ditched her- he didn't mean too- she would understand that. Right. Right? "Look I did something very incredibly stupid- I really have to go-" he told Pandora quickly before standing up and heading back to the ballroom. Midway however, he heard his name being called- over and over again. "Ava? Is that you?" He muttered. He quickened his pace until eventually he was starting to run and saw Ava, in her blue dress. "Ava-" he called out. He shouldn't have left- it seemed like a good idea at the time. Now he knew it wasn’t a good idea at all. "I'm sorry- I shouldn't have left- its just I really really don't want people to know about me being a metamorphagus" he told her. He hoped she understood, he really did, the last thing he wanted was to make an enemy out of his partner for a party.

Mentioning: @Pandora Smith Open to interactions.There he was, standing at the same table he'd been at for a couple of minutes. He understood Pandora was nervous, but she left him there. He must look like an idiot, he sure felt like one. He didn't understand at all what happened, one moment she was complimenting him and the next she runs out. He wanted desperately to go after her, but he wasn't able to. It seems his legs refused to move, planted in shock and surprise.
After a bit, he finally decided to sit in an empty chair. He didn't want to spoil the fun for the others, so he buried his head in his arms to conceal the emotion in his face. His eyes swelled with small involuntary tears, his face contorted between a mixture of anger and hurt. It was a difficult feeling, the first girl he likes, and this happens.
He did everything in his mind to convince himself that it was okay but the thought that she wouldn't be coming back kept coming back to him. He knew he shouldn't be acting this way, and it dawned on him to make the best of most situations. He should be having fun here, well as much fun as he can considering the circumstances. He wished that Dan had been here, curse him for not attending these kinds of events. He came back to reality after a moment, wiping his eyes and headed over to get a drink.

A brilliant streak of color caught the corner of Aida’s eye, and with a spin, the white wix spotted the approach of one Jack Burnett. His red hair contrasting with the emerald of his vest, the Slytherin was sure to stand out, and not just for being a fellow 4th-year amid a sea of first-years. Aida’s head tilted to one side quizzically.
“Me? Aida? Y-yes, me. Aida Mòrsgor-Ama Ellwood. You’re that trapped fox from before… Am I alright? I’m alright, right? Yes, should be fine. I know where I am, if that’s what you mean. If you mean something else… then maybe yes, I am lost, unless you just found me. Did you find me?”
Without so much as asking the Slytherin’s name nor how he had gleaned Aida’s, the white wix leaned in close to examine his hazel eyes.
“You don’t have to be lost anymore, either. I found you! See?” Aida’s hand rose slowly as to not startle, and if he didn’t evade, gingerly grasped Jack’s black tie. “In fact, I suspect that meeting you here is actually very important.”
The scent of old history books greeted the hyperosmic wix as each sense began opening up from the fading of claustrophobia. Unraveling what kind of creature this boy was provided exactly the focal point Aida needed. Crinkling their nose, Aida tilted their head again to the opposite side with a cascade of falling white strands.
“Mayhaw? I used to use Mayhaw. I’ll never forget that smell. You know what, I wonder… I think…” Iridescent eyes the color of indigo-splattered blueberries flitted to the side as if hearing something, but Jack would not hear anything out of the ordinary. “Hit me with a spell. I can sense a good duelist even from far away, and you're right in front of me. Why haven’t I seen you on the piste before?”
As Kim approached from the side, Aida jumped slightly. Although the Ravenclaw understood that it was the party’s host, the wix’s mouth was moving before they had any idea what they were doing.
“Yes, you there, can you please moderate a duel between us?”

Pandora stood up abruptly. She had decided very quickly what to do, and he would probably regret it from now on. But she was determined to do it.
Finding Gabriel had been difficult. The drink was on point. Was he drinking? She didn't know. She quickly went to his. She spoke quickly, not knowing where to begin.
"I'm so sorry. I don't know what's going on with me. My head stops working and it's like my heart is taking responsibility. My heart is beating fast. But now I can understand what's going on."
Gabriel was taller than him so she stood on tiptoe. She closed her eyes and kissed Gabriel on the lips without thinking. She broke up with Gabriel a few minutes later. Her face was completely red and she was excited, her heart was beating very fast.
"I don't know what to say. You are more than a friend. I'm stupid enough to realize this now."
She looked excitedly at Gabriel. She wondered what to say. Her heart was beating fast. It was hard to stay in place. She didn't know what to do. She realized what she was doing.
"I-I'm sorry. I shouldn't have kissed like that right away."

Once I was done apologizing, the girl began apologizing herself. “I’m sorry too. I feel like I was in a bad mood that day, which is no excuse, but I still shouldn’t have yelled at you and blamed you. Even if it was kinda your fault.” She jokingly smirked at me. “We good?” she asked, holding her hand out for me to shake. “Yeah, we’re good.” I said in a cheerful voice. “Oh, and also, you two have a nice talent if you know what I mean.” “Thanks.” The girl said in responce. She then looked at the boy and back at me, giving me some sort of weird look, a glare that said “Don’t ruin this evening for me.” Yeah, like I was planning to. All of a sudden, the boy next to her jerked out of his char and said “Gotta go to the bathroom.”Ava - #ad6fac
Dave - #cd0a2f
Oliver - #15a2ed
“Dammit Howard.” The girl muttered before standing up from her chair as well. “Oliver! Wait, please!” She went towards the exit before realizing that her long dress had gotten tangled up in the chair. As she untangled it, I said “For the record, Oliver and I have never met before so he didn’t leave because of me.” The girl finished untagling her dress and said a hasty “Good-bye.” To me before turning towards the exit and running towards it so fast, I thought she was gonna trip any moment. I waited until the girl was well out of earshot before saying “Or maybe it was given the way that I worded my apology.” I then changed my voice into a mock version of my real voice before saying “I wasn’t paying attention to where I was going and accidentally bumped into you. I’m sorry I blamed you for it and then mocked you about the situation afterwards.” I then changed my voice back to normal before saying “I mean, I don’t blame him. Like, how was he supposed to know that I wouldn’t do the same thing to him? Eh, they’re both gone now so it’s not my problem.”
I then returned to walking around the room, looking for Daphne. As I did this, I though about how the girl had said “Dammit Howard.” Now I hadn’t given her my name so she either guessed my name, said the phrase out of habit and wasn’t at all referring to me, or found out what my name was by attending one of my duels. The last option was the most likely one because while I wasn’t as famous as say, Nessie Swansea, the person who earned the most house points last month, a hundred ten, a real feat considering we weren’t at Hogwarts for half of the month, or Pericles Dralt who had earned ninety something house points in November, more then anyone else in that month, I was still one of the forty eight duelists at Hogwats and because I had already participated in two duels so far, I was much more known to the student population of Hogwarts then the average student. Well, now that I think about it, I wasn’t even that interested in how she knew my name, I just felt cool since she knew it without me ever giving away.
Mentioning @Ava Winchest, @Daphne Sapphirus, and @Oliver Brown.

Oliver was no where to be seen, but I continued searching. I did understand why he had left, he was embarrassed! The thing that most bothered me was what he was embarrassed about. Our talent was nothing to be ashamed of, and I wish he would realize that. “Oliver!” I called again, and this time someone responded. "Ava-" he said. My gaze softened at his worry. "I'm sorry- I shouldn't have left- its just I really really don't want people to know” I looked at him, my eyes saying nothing and everything all in the same moment. I was worried, and angry, but also sympathetic. “It’s okay,” I conceded. “You worried me! I didn’t know where you went or if you were coming back.” I sighed. He made it hard for me to be angry with him. I didn’t know what it was, but I felt calmer around him, less moody. “Promise you won’t run off again?”
I stared at him until he agreed, then grabbed his hand. “C’mon, there’s snacks!” I winked at him and giggled, pulling him with me back to the bash and over to the food table. When we arrived, I squeezed Oliver’s hand and stared at all the food. Food like this wasn’t very common in the Winchect house, because sugar was said to rot your teeth and your brain, according to her dad. There was a large assortment of food, and I grabbed whatever looked sweet and sugary, along with some punch.

T his was so awkward. I wanted to talk to my friends, but Ava was busy chasing around boys. You can’t just go to a party and stand in the corner. And it seemed like this other boy was doing that. He clearly was an introvert. This boy probably wanted to be alone. I shouldn’t have approached him. Let’s just let him be. “It’s nice to meet you. I just wanted to say hi. I’m probably going to grab a drink and say hi to some others, if that is ok.” Even if it wasn’t ok, I was going to do it. But I was almost positive the boy, Taizu would be ok with it. I mean, he was standing in the corner, the place you go to be alone or when you are trying not to be noticed. He was also stuttering, and either he was nervous, or had a stutter.
I left Taizu, and went over to the table that was full of drinks and snacks. Ava was there, loading up on sugar. I had just ate, so I grabbed some snacks. I moved down the table closer to Ava who was piling her plate up high with sugar. Shes about to have a MAJOR sugar rush. I thought. “Hello Ava! That’s a LOT of sugar.” I said, and I reached for the spoon that was sitting in a bowl of pudding.

Fiona was extremely nervous. She had never been to a ball or party before, and she didn't really know why she had decided to go to this one. She did like dressing up though, so maybe that was part of it. But really, what was the shy girl going to do at a party where people were supposed to be social and stuff? Would anyone ask her to dance? Fiona really didn't feel all that comfortable around new people, but she was actively trying to push out of her comfort zone this year. New school, new Fiona... or something like that. She didn't think she would ever be bold, but she could at least make some friends.
Fiona had chosen a pretty light blue dress with silver details on the top to wear to the ball. She was always drawn to more pastel colors. She did her hair nicely, having it in soft waves down her back. It was still red, but Fiona had a feeling it would slowly go blonde with age as it had gotten lighter than when she was little. She put in some pretty silver earrings as well. Fiona didn't do any makeup as she didn't have any because her mum thought she was too young for it still, but that didn't really bother Fiona. Her skin looked less freckled than it did in the summer months because she was getting less sunlight. Fiona slipped on some silver dress shoes and checked her hair again in the mirror before feeling satisfied that she looked as nice as she could manage.
When Fiona finished getting ready, she looked at the clock and frowned. It looked like she was running a little behind. But that meant that Fiona wouldn't draw so much attention to herself when she came in as everyone would be talking amongst themselves already. Fiona sighed and grabbed her purse that was big enough to hold her wand and her copy of Pride and Prejudice. She always took the book with her, especially in awkward social situations. She could read if she got too uncomfortable around all the people. She walked toward where the party was being held, taking a deep breath to settle her nerves before entering. She smiled shyly as she saw one of the hosts of the party before walking into it a little more and looking around for someone she knew, which was very few people so far.

Mentioning: @Pandora SmithThe drink in his hand emptied quickly. Just as he poured another, Pandora came rushing back in. A minute before her, Oliver had come in too. Had they been talking? He brushed the thought off as Pandora reached him. He took another drink as she rambled apologetically, he was shocked.
He wanted to stay mad at her just out of spite, but he couldn't. She sounded sincere and that was all he wanted. Before he could muster out a reply, Pandora kissed him. What could only have been a few minutes seemed like forever. He could feel his face reddening. Fuck. He thought, he hated how easy it was for his face to turn into a tomato. After they broke apart, he gazed at her, seemingly just as red as he was. His heart rate was hard to ignore, seeming to have sped up 1000 beats.
"Dora, don't apologize. I-" Without thinking, he quickly placed his drink on the table behind him. "I'm not easy to lend forgiveness, but I think I'll make an exception for you." He jokingly muttered, kissing her back. He didn't care what shade his face was now. After all what's fun about holding a grudge when you could "kiss and make up". The only doubt he had now was the unforgettable Clark. They had an instant connection like Gabe and Pandora when they met. There was no time to worry about that now.
