@Kim SatoBailey and Kim met up occasionally to strut together, and they had made plans to meet up on this Saturday, the third of December.
Packing her bag, Bailey added her books for History of Magic, Potions, Transfiguration, and Charms into her bag along with her notebooks for the subjects, her regular journal, and her writing utensils.
Her wand was also in her bag, and she was holding her water bottle in her other hand as she walked towards the library. She had her bag over one shoulder and was holding a stack of four books in the other arm. Those books were the books she was returning to the library.
Upon entering the library, baileys smile grew. Kim was already there!!!
Returning her books, bailey snuck up behind Kim. It looked like he was sketching something, and Bailey wanted to see what. Kim was shy about his art, it was something he usually kept to himself.
Peaking over his shoulder, she looked to see what he was sketching. He was actually writing, to Bailey surprise, and she decided to read what he was writing.
Kim was just writing one line, two sentences, over and over. It read
Go back home for the annual ball? Or make up something to tell them, so I can stay here over the holidays?
Now Bailey was curious, but she'd ask after she surprised or scared Kim. Kim was hyper focused, and did not seem to sense Bailey behind him. So, Bailey being the cheeky girl she was, took this as an opportunity to scare her best friend. Bailey quietly slipped her book bag off of her shoulder, and onto the ground. She quickly, before Kim could react to the soft thud her book bag had made, dropped a fake cat plushie on Kim's lap. Her mum had sent her the plushie, and Bailey had decided to gift it to Kim, since he was allergic to cats and couldn't be around them.
"Surprise!" bailey sung out, slipping into the seat next to Kim. "My mum sent me that plushie of one of our cats from home, and i decided you need a cat friend, or just a plushie of one, in your life more than i do. I named it Mrs. Sparkles, and now if you ever need a friend to cuddle with, you have one!" Bailey smiled, so excited and happy she had thought to do this.
As she unloaded her bag, bailey decided to ask the question that she had been itching to since she had read the parchment over Kim's shoulder.
"What annual ball were you writing about? Is it something with your family?"

| ─── | It was Saturday, December 3rd, 2022.
For once, he was up a little early, although not that early. It was 10:30AM and he'd gotten up at 10AM. On a weekend, that was a feat because he tended to like sleeping in as much as possible. This morning, Kim was wearing black pants, black-and-white shoes, a sleeveless white t-shirt with palm tree designs, and a stylish black vest with a Gryffindor patch on the left hand side. The vest had some white paint-like splotches slightly above and beneath the patch, it might have seemed like it was just dirty but it was actually just a fashion. As for accessories, a pearl and pride bracelet garnished his left wrist, along with a set of pearl earrings, which could be seen now and then through the shock of green hair. Comfortable but fashionable..... He was currently inside the library, sitting at a back table, away from the entrance to avoid having people come over to talk to him. There was a reason why he was at a library with books and parchment paper spread out all over the surface. It wasn't to talk to people, it was to study and get the best possible grade he could get in every single one of his classes. With the exception of Flying Class of course. Kim would have been ecstatic if he could bring his grade up from a T to a D. Why was he even taking this class in 2nd year??? He hadn't intended on doing so. It had only been required during his first year. But his father had expressed excitement about this. Hiro had seen his report card and had been proud of all of his grades except for his Flying one. The older wizard had been both disappointed but hopeful for the next year. After all, how could Kim get a grade as horrible as a T and become a great quidditch player? Even though Kim told him he had no intention of becoming one because he couldn't fly well, Hiro hadn't accepted this reason. He'd told him next year he'd do better and if he didn't show any progress, he'd have Kwan punish him. Kim had instantly taken up the class.. But it wasn't as if he could fail the class. After all, everything written and non-practical about the class was easy and he was able to get the highest grade available. It was just when it turned into practical use, such as mounting a broom and actually flying on it, he freaked out. Still, Hana-chan and the flying teacher helped him on a regular basis, so Kim knew he'd be able to pass the class. The only problem was getting a higher grade than before. The greenhead doodled without thinking of what he was doing on the parchment paper... He had too much on his mind right now. Not only was there flying class and his parents but also the upcoming family ball that was held every year. Lost in his thoughts, Kim didn't register what had just dropped down onto his lap. Not until he looked down and saw the form of a cat there. He immediately yelped and shot out of his seat, only to realize that it wasn't a feline at all, it was merely a pillow shaped like a cat. Glancing behind him, Kim saw a familiar face standing there. Or that is, sitting there now. As soon as his heart calmed down, he crouched down, picked up the cat plushie and then took a seat again. Before he could hand it back to her, Bailey spoke. Ah, so it was for him??? If she hadn't been Bailey, Kim would have thanked her and given it back. He wasn't the type to want anything cat-related around him. It wasn't just his allergies. Not that anyone at Hogwarts knew about this. But for some reason, he didn't want her to get sad about him rejecting the gift. He wasn't sure why he felt that way but that was how it was. Kim set the plushie onto the seat next to him and nodded his thanks. Unfortunately, Bailey's next words made him freeze. How had she known about that? He followed her eyes... To the parchment paper in front of him. Kim's eyes widened upon seeing what he'd written there. He hadn't realized he'd actually written those lines. He flipped to another page and then set his quill down. "It's nothing, just some fancy ball that my parents hold every year. I'm forced to attend it on a regular basis and don't really want to do it this time." Kim said with a shrug of his shoulders, trying to pass it off as nothing important at all. "Let's move on to our studies! What are we working on today?" He asked, nodding towards the stack of books on the table. Kim's favorite two classes were Herbology and Charms. But he really enjoyed all of them. |

@Kim SatoKim yelped and jumped up when she dropped the cat plushie on his lap, and Bailey softly cackled with laughter. "sorry Kim i had to-i just had to!" Bailey said, finishing laughing and wiping her eyes.
she knew that kim was not fond of cats, but she just had to give this to him. He nodded his thanks, and then Kim froze, after she had asked what ball he had been writing about.
He brushed it off like it was nothing, but bailey knew better. "Ball? that sounds like fun!" Bailey said, being the optimist to Kim's pesimest.
"Do you think i could find a way to sneak in? it sounds like fun, i want to come!!! I could hide in your trunk... heheh this will be fun!" Bailey said, totally ignoring Kim's plee to focus on school.
"Come on, you should go, and then i will come! It will be fun!!!! Plus your family sounds... mysterious, and kinda cool! I want to meet them, and see your house! Is that where the party - sorry, ball will be? I want to see your house!!!!"
Bailey would not drop the ball, and would convince Kim to go, and to take her. She was not going to take NO for an answer. Bailey could be stubborn, and was being particularly stubborn right now.

| ─── | Bailey cackled with laughter.
Kim simply gave her a look and shook his head, a sigh escaping his lips as he doodled on his paper. It was only when Bailey called attention to the paper that he looked down to realize he'd been writing down his thoughts over and over for some reason. Unfortunately, Bailey expressed great interest in it, even though Kim didn't want to think about it and wanted to pretend it wasn't even taking place. "Not really... it's really boring and you don't ever have fun at it... pureblood balls are the worst..." Kim told her with a shake of his head. "They're also really stressful too for kids like us." The teen added, sighing... He tried to refocus and bring Bailey's attention back to their studies, the main reason why they'd decided to meet up here in the first place. But the girl didn't give him a break and kept bugging him to come and for him to attend the ball, which in truth Kim would be attending regardless. However, bringing someone there with him? Much less a muggle-born?! Did he really have such a death wish? "They don't hold parties, they hold balls and are very specific about calling it such." Everyone had their own preferences....... When it came to words. Some people could care less what others called their events. But others might care a LOT about theirs. You just never knew unless you did research ahead of time and found out what to do and what not to do before meeting the people you were going to meet at whatever event it was. The Satos were adamant about their balls being called balls or something elaborate. Parties were for children and lesser witches and wizards. They didn't hold parties, they held balls or elaborate events and celebrations. Bailey's earlier words about wanting to meet his family made Kim shake his head. That would be a huge mistake, especially now.... "I wouldn't recommend meeting them, at least not right now. They have... certain preferences... for friends of mine. You wouldn't make a good impression on them. Not if they knew where you come from..." Kim told her, a bit awkwardly. Perhaps he could introduce her to some of his relatives but specifically calling attention to her with his parents would be a death wish. If he introduced her to his parents, what if they developed a curiosity in Bailey and checked out her background?? That would open up a whole can of worms. If they discovered she was a muggle-born, they'd instantly force him to keep his distance from her. After all, Bailey's family wasn't famous from a muggle-standpoint, therefore there was no reason to establish a relationship with her to form a connection to be used later. So why should he even associate with her? Kim knew he could avoid all this if he just rejected her plea to come to the ball with him later that month. But Bailey was very persistent when she really wanted something and this time was no exception. She was quite stubborn, something that reminded him of his parents. Then again, Kim supposed he could also be like that. "...fine. You can come. But you can't talk to my parents! You have to promise not to talk to them, unless they specifically approach you. Obviously you should talk to them if they seek you out and speak to you. But don't intentionally approach them. It's for your own good..." Kim warned. Now that Bailey was coming to the ball, he'd have to figure out some way to protect her from being targeted by his parents. Maybe he'd invite a few others to the ball too. As an elaborate camouflage act. To keep his parents busy elsewhere. Ah, his father was a huge fan of Valentin, maybe he'd ask Valentin to come over and entertain if he was free. He'd also tell those he invited to bring a plus one too. The more people, the better. But of course, he couldn't invite too many this year because he didn't want to go overboard. And he'd also not asked his parents for permission to invite a lot of people from school to the ball. Kim started to make a mental note of who he'd ask to come. Gia had already told him about how her family wanted them to attend the Virtanen Ball that was taking place on the same date. Eun-ji and Kim were also attending that particular ball for a short time.... It happened to start a few hours before the Sato Yule Ball. Thus, the two would be able to stay for a few hours and then head back to Taohuayuan, the Sato's mansion. So far, Kim had already come up with a few names in mind to invite. Galton, Valentin, Shiro and Pea. André would also be coming because of his mother's relationship with one of Kim's relatives. Maybe it would work out in the end, perhaps Bailey would be able to survive without meeting his parents. One could only hope. A sigh escaped his lips... This would be stressful... "Let's focus on studying now!" Kim said again, pointedly looking at the books. |

@Kim SatoThere was no other way to describe it- Bailey was well and truly cackling with laughter. She covered her mouth, aware that she was drawing attention to them from the other occupants in the library, but she was still laughing. Trying to father her breath, she held her side where it had began to hurt from her laughter. Kim gave her a look which made her snicker with laughter.
Bailey them flopped into her chair, feeling light and happy.
She asked him about what he had been writing. He sighed several times as he explained how boring and stressful the ball would be. Bailey watched Kim, her eyes never leaving his face.
Kim tried to sidetrack Bailey with their studies, but she was persistent. And stubborn, not willing to change the topic till he said she could come.
“ok ball- butttttt they don’t have to know I’m a muggleborn!! We can say I come from some Polish pure blood family, I know enough polish to make it convincing!”
Bailey didn’t even know if there were Polish pure bloods, but she just wanted to accompany Kim, and help him not to be so miserable.
Bailey kept persisting, until finally Kim caved. He said she couldn’t talk to his parents, and she smiled. “I can do that! thank uuuu kimmmmm!!!!” she said, giving him a hug.
Then they started their studies, with Bailey mind full of ideas and other plans on how she could make this holiday season the best for Kim.
