Valentines Ball
»»————- ❀ ————-««
Valentine's Day never really fazed Kayla, but she couldn't say it was one of her favourite days, either. She'd spend the day before making cards for all her siblings and her father, but it was one of the days the Realma's preferred to ignore. As Valentine's Day was supposedly the day of love, Nicholas could only spend this day with his kids. Without his wife, whom he used to buy gifts for all the time, it felt lonely. It was usually a quiet day for Kayla, which is why she usually spent that day at Sam's house or outside. At least then, she wouldn't have to deal with the thick atmosphere in her own house.
As soon as Kayla heard about the Valentine's ball, the simple answer was no. Just no. But, Kayla being Kayla, she was going. She was going with a friend she had met very recently, Rhys Read. Rhys seemed to be a very introverted person, but Kayla liked them. They were in her art club too, which was saying something.
But the worst part? She was late.
She shimmied into a dark red dress, which was not really her usual attire. She would have preffered something lighter, something more colourful, but the dress she wore was the only red thing she owned, surprisingly. She wore black shoes, which made her slightly taller than usual, which she hated. Kayla hated her tallness, even though she joked about how people were shorter than her. She did a few touches to her face, red lipstick and eyeliner-
Wait.
Since when do I wear make up?
Kayla spent a moment looking at her reflection. Red lipstick was on her lips. On her lips.
Who am I and what have I done with myself?
Kayla knew she didn't have time to contemplate on what she was seeing, she had stuff to do. But having it her way, she would've spent the whole night just looking at her reflection.
She put on earrings and a heart necklace. She had three, so she wore the sliver one and held the other two in her hand.
Does Rhys where necklaces? She couldn't tell the day she met them, if Rhy's was wearing one. Maybe they'd like one? Kayla scrambled around, looking for a small box. Finding one, she put the heart necklace in it and held onto it.
As she trudged through the hallway, making her way to the ballroom. Kayla looked around the room, it was stunning. Stunning.
And the people? So. Many. People.
Kayla spotted Rhys a few feet away, talking with two other people. Even from where she stood, it seemed she missed quite a bit. Rhys looked scared.
"Rhy...s!"
Kayla walked up to the trio. All of them had the same grim expression on.
"Hey, Rhys. This is for you." Kayla took their hand and placed the box containing the small, rose gold necklace in they're hand. She scanned they're face. "You don't look too good, you good?" Kayla asked, a bit of concern in her voice. She looked at the rest of the group. "Are you guys good?"
Kayla didnt want to pry- she was just curious and concerned. Also she wanted an explanation. What had she missed?

Valentines Ball
“I remember you now, yeah. I’m sorry I didn’t remember you, tonight’s starting to be a bit of a blur.” Jessicah apologized, then appeared to rack her brain on possible places that Azzy could've gone off to. “I think we should check the astrology tower, they like to go up there and play their violin, maybe they’re up there now? ....Wait. They had to go to the dorms to get the violin! That must be where they went! So, what are we waiting for?” She said, “Let’s go!” Rhys and Rhain both nodded, then turned as someone called out to Rhys.
Shit, it was Kayla. Rhys's date to the ball. Showing up in the middle of things. How convenient. Of course, it wasn't the girl's fault. She couldn't have known about all the drama that would escalate on this night, since Rhys didn't mention anything about liking Azzy (hello?? did they want to die of embarrassment? Also, Kayla and Rhys weren't even that close) but this was really bad timing.
"Hey, Rhys. This is for you." Kayla greeted, taking Rhys's hand and placing a small box into it. Rhys took the box, surprised for a brief moment before Kayla continued. "You don't look too good, you good?" She asked. Rhys wanted to laugh. Talk about a redundant question, especially considering the situation. "Are you guys good?" She asked, this time addressing the group. Rhain looked at Rhys, and the two seemed to have a mental exchange before Rhain clapped his hands together.
"That, is a good question," He said, addressing Kayla. Rhys shuffled, looking down at the box. They felt bad that Kayla had brought them something and yet they'd shown up empty-handed, plus when she did arrive, they were too busy with their own drama entirely unrelated to her. "You see, Rhys, ah.." Rhain glanced at Rhys. They clearly didn't feel like dragging anyone else into this mess. "Rhys and Jessicah forgot something very important back in their dorm, so we were all about to leave so they could get everything situated." He covered. Rhys nodded, glancing up. Perhaps if they were able to convince Kayla that this was strictly a Gryffindor matter, she'd be less likely to ask how she could help. (God, Hufflepuffs were exhausting in that they were so caring and insisted on helping all the time.)
"Yeah, what he said," Rhys agreed, fumbling with the box in their hand. "We were actually just leaving, actually.." They said, giving Kayla an apologetic look. "But it hopefully shouldn't take too long, so I should be back soon. But, in the meantime," They looked over to Rhain, pushing him towards Kayla.. "Rhain can keep you company! Why don't you two go over, get some punch and cookies, and then Jessicah and I should be back before you know it!" Rhain looked a bit surprised that Rhys had volunteered him to keep Kayla company in their absence, but he nodded.
"Yeah! You've got to try the cherry scones, they're to die for," Rhain said, lightly touching Kayla's arm and directing her attention to the refreshments table. Rhys took this moment to grab Jessicah's wrist and lead her out of the ballroom, speeding past dancing couples and various groups of people in the middle of interactions.

Teal, a perfect colour to match all the others. Anna smiled and picking two threads for each colour she started braiding. It was her first time doing something like this and she soon realized picking so many colours made it so much more difficult. She watched as Caoimhe quickly did hers, and tried to speed up. She only managed to make a few tangles. Huffing and slowing down she mindlessly chatted with Kee as she started having fun, instead of trying to make it perfect. The bracelet actually started to form a unique pattern. Anna smiled, admiring the bracelet. She looked at Kee’s wrists to see if it would fit when she noticed that she had already finished her bracelet. She offered the bracelet to Anna, saying something in a language Anna never heard before. “Ah, thank you!”, she reached out to accept the gift but her hands were full of thread ends. “Just a second”, she went back to braiding as she asked. “What did you say before chère? dear”.
Anna finally finished her bracelet and sighed in relief, her fingers were starting to hurt. “For you mon chère ami my dear friend”, Anna offered her bracelet in return. She took the one Caoimhe made and carefully tied it around her wrist. Compered to Kee’s refined one, Anna’s looked a bit shriveled, if not crumpled. She hoped Kee wouldn’t mind the obvious lack of skill.
Then Caoimhe asked something Anna didn’t expect. She asked her to dance. Anna made a confused face and blinked twice. “You really want to dance? I mean, sure my papa taught me a few ballroom dances but I haven’t practiced in a bit. Can you formal dance?”, Anna asked curious. She knew the basics and her mother also taught her how to follow the rhythm and improvise, she grew up watching her parents dance along to classical music whenever they had a chance. So she felt confident in her ability to dance properly. She didn’t plan on dancing tonight, but if Kee wanted to then no harm in that right?
As she glanced over to the dance floor, she noticed a small group that seemed to be causing a bit of a scene. She only recognized Rhys, and she noticed the person in a beautiful gown leaving the ballroom. Soon after Rhys and another girl, left too. Anna frowned a bit. ‘I hope everything is alright’, she thought.

"Uhm-" Kayla wasn't really sure what to say. 'Good luck with your super important thing'? 'I'll be waiting while you do your super important thing'?
"Yeah okay," she said finally, "good luck with your super important thing."
Dammit. As Rhain moved closer to Kayla, the badger watched as Rhys left with the girl to the common room. Rhain touched her arm and Kayla flinched.
Kayla flinched.
Kayla? Flinched?
Getting over her moment of flinch, she let Rhain direct her to the refreshments table.
"You've got to try the cherry scones, they're to die for...."
Kayla examined them before shaking her head.
"I'm not...hungry," she said shortly.
Lie.
Kayla wasn't angry or sad that Rhys had left so hurriedly. She was concerned for her friend. That was really all she could say for her attitude- when Kayla was worried or scared, she stubbornly shut people out until she knew everything was okay again.
"Are you and Rhys, uh, related? If I'd known I'd be here, I would've gotten you a present, too," Kayla added with a faint smile. Waiting for Rhain's response, she grabbed a cup of water. Kayla usually would go for the sweetest thing on the tabl e- anyone who knew her well knew that. She tapped her fingers against the cup for a few moments; she found the sound of her nails against the glass soothing somehow.

| ─── | Kim looked over the food offered to guests.
After some thought, Kim chose a hamburger with fried potatoes, along with a side of vegetables too. He didn't tend to like vegetables but knew they were good for your health and thus ate them. There were a few he always avoided though, because it didn't matter if they were healthy for you if you couldn't stomach them. Kim poured himself a glass of water too, opting for the less sweet version. After all, he'd be having dessert and he didn't want his entire meal to give off a sweet tone. Hesitating, Kim dipped his hamburger into the cheese fondue fountain for a millisecond. Now it was perfectly coated with delicious melted cheese... The white haired teen picked up a skewer of fruit and dipped it slightly into the chocolate fondue. Placing it onto his plate, he selected a snickerdoodle, plain chocolate chip cookie and a lava cake and then moved away from the buffet table. Letting his blue eyes flicker around the room, Kim chose a table that was furthest away from the center of the room. This was so he could avoid being in the spotlight and noticed by anyone. He set the plate down onto the table and placed the strap of his satchel over the back of his chair to let it hang there. Puffie hopped onto the table from his shoulder. He hopped over to Kim's plate and looked down at it and then turned his wide-eyed gaze back to Kim. "I know. I'll give you your treat too." Kim said and glanced around the area. No one else was around right now, so he reached into his satchel and took out Puffie's pet dish. Setting it onto the table, he removed two more things. One was a box of pygmy treats and the other was a cylindrical tube filled with dead insects. Not really something people wanted to see at a table where they were about to eat food at. This was why Kim had made sure no one else was there right now. He poured some of the dead insects into the dish for his pet. Putting the tube back into his satchel, he removed a pygmy treat from the box and put the box back too. Grabbing the filled dish, Kim placed it off to his left, so anyone approaching wouldn't see it immediately. He kept the pygmy treat in his hand, wanting Puffie to finish his meal first before he gave it to him. After all, the treats were things that didn't tend to bother other people, so it was best to save that for last just in case. Kim looked around, taking in those who entered + began to mingle. He recognized many of them but was silent... He didn't want to engage in conversation. As long as they didn't see or recognize him, he wouldn't need to do so. Damion was there now. Hades had also come with him. Kim let out a sigh as he wondered how on earth he'd gotten Damion's words wrong before. He'd really thought the boy had just wanted to spend some time with him at the time. Like normal. But when Hades had confronted him about it earlier and informed him of what Damion had actually thought, Kim had been shocked over the revelation. He wasn't entirely sure what to say to him now. So it was a good thing that it seemed as if Damion was avoiding him at the moment. Kim didn't take offense. The white haired teen decided to get up and go back to the table to grab a vanilla milkshake. He hadn't wanted too much sweet the first time he'd gone to the buffet table but now he wanted one. It was funny how your tastes can change instantly for no apparent reason. As he made his way over to the buffet table, someone addressed him and Kim glanced down at the younger boy. He let his blue eyes flicker over him for a few seconds. Ah, right. That was who it was. "Yo." He said, giving his usual trademark greeting to the other. Kim raised his hand into the air for a brief moment. "Ah, yes. I was going to come alone but Bailey wanted us to go as friends." "So I told her I'd meet her at the ball." Kim told him. "You?" As Ethan munched on the food, the white haired teen couldn't help but smirk at his reaction. "You must love food. Do you cook or bake often? Or do you just enjoy what others make?" Kim asked, curious. Ethan wasn't in his cooking club. Did that mean he wasn't interested in cooking and baking, or did it mean he didn't think he was good enough to join? It was around this time that a very familiar face popped up. Bailey was there. A sigh escaped. She spoke and Kim raised a brow. "Why would you think that? What did you do?" He asked, not sure he understood what she was talking about. What had she done to make her think it might be her fault? All this talking was starting to make Kim feel annoyed but he struggled not to let these feelings show on the surface. He didn't want to talk, he wanted to just be present and listen to others as they mingled with other people. Part of him wondered why people kept talking to him. They must really like to hear their own voices. Eun-ji would understand this. Neither of them tended to talk much when they had nothing to say, or they weren't in the mood. Even when they were together, if they both felt the same way, a comfortable silence would reign between them. One where it wouldn't feel awkward at all and neither would seek to break that silence with chatter. |

Valentines Ball
@Bloom Silverton
Truth or dare could be a childish game at time. Mostly an excuse for teenagers to admit their crushes or to steal an easy kiss from someone they are yearning for. Yet here and now it provided the couple a chance to dance around the truth they so eagerly wished to tell each other. But how do you profess such a thing? The severity of it all could drive the other away or put them into a terrible position where they would have to lie about how they truly felt. That was the last thing Howard wanted for Bloom. The idea of losing her was terrible, but the idea of pushing her into a lie felt almost even worse. However, the way his heart was filled with love for her and the little nag in the back of his mind that kept asking him what he was going to do after Hogwarts left him feeling like the time was near.
His choice of truth would push them both closer towards it. Perhaps Bloom had that little voice in her head as well when she asked her question of the future. What would he be doing in five years? "Let's see..." Howard's voice trailed off for a brief moment as the daydreams of his future filled his head. There was of course the idea of traveling the world. A much easier task in this wild Wizarding world than it was in his Muggle life. The idea of seeing the Americas and perhaps the rest of Europe or the far East did bring an excitement to him. Or maybe he would continue his course of studies, an apprenticeship or something of the like? A smile crossed his face though as the fantasies filled his head. At the end of each one of them they were always still together.
Young love could fill a witch or wizard's head with grandiose ideas that reality would often not permit. Hormones and curiosity could often drive young lovers apart or as interested and passions grew they could easily drive a wedge. Yet every once in a while soul mates did find each other in their early years. Was this the destiny for Howard and Bloom? Time would tell, but it sure damn felt like it. "I've often thought of traveling. Not so daunting considering we can just jump in a fireplace and be done with it. Or maybe just get a job, I guess. Although!" Howard perked up a bit as this idea was one that had been sticking more in his mind than the others. "I've kind of been thinking about buying a farm." He said with a smirk and slight shrug. "I think I could be pretty good at it." The high marks in Herbology, Care of Magical Creatures and Potions definitely could back this up.
That was all nice and dandy, but Howard would push his plate aside and wipe his fingers on a napkin before reaching out for Bloom's hand. His playful expression slipping away. Suddenly his heart was beating quickly and his mouth gone a touch dry, yet he could not stop the words even if he tried. "I don't really care what I end up doing...I just hope that you are there."
Your turn, Bloom Silverton...

-----It felt right being near Anna, and Caoimhe remained ecstatic that the Ravenclaw girl agreed to come. Being granted the freedom to be her unapologetic self, as Anna stated in the lavatory prior to arriving at the ball, eluded to the fact Caoimhe untethered from shielding her nature. Not that Caoimhe was concealing much prior to their discussion in the lavatory, but no longer experiencing the necessity to pose or calculate her words carefully around Anna. Caoimhe was able to relish the evening completely unbound from the lingering doubts or anxiety, and it felt nice to say simply.
"It means 'I hope we are friends forever,'" Caoimhe explained while observing Anna intertwining her bracelet forming a unique and beautiful design; the colors all completing one another in a cool-toned, sunset color palate. Caoimhe smiled hearing familiar words of French tongue spoken by Ravenclaw, a language the young Slytherin was not aware Anna could speak. Her brother, Collin, would say these words to her in her adolescence having learned from their paternal grandmother Genevieve, so surely they weren't insults - right?
"That was French? You sound like a natural - I had no clue you spoke another language!" Caoimhe spoke with surprise inflecting her voice; it appeared the Ravenclaw possessed her own secrets that Caoimhe would love to uncover and explore. She smiled graciously as Anna tied the bracelet around her wrist, a keepsake Caoimhe would treasure despite its wrinkled appearance, remaining perfect in the Slytherin's perspective.
Listening intently to Anna's words despite the music blasting loudly throughout the room, Caoimhe held her hand out to take Anna's to lead her to the dance floor. "I know a bit," she reassured with a grin, having some practice between her elder brothers. Her mother taught her how to dance by improvising and moving her hips to the beat, however her mother's moves were observed after watching a muggle belly-dancer at a circus and were much too sensual to do outside of their home. Finlay would often tease them with the fact Caoimhe couldn't dance like this at school, so he took it upon himself to teach her.
A commotion could be heard from the distance so she glanced away from Anna with a concerned expression before seeing the charming, young Avery further in the distance; she hoped the students were okay, and also that maybe Caoimhe would gather the courage to talk to him. Or that he'd talk to her - kindly - preferably. Or not; Caoimhe somewhat appreciated the challenging side of him assuming it wasn't demeaning towards Caoimhe or her skills, but driving her to succeed.
She returned her attention back to Anna, still holding her hand out,
"So, how about that dance?" Caoimhe inquired raising an eyebrow with a smile.

A couple of days ago, he had received a letter that invited him to the Valentine's Day Ball. He wasn’t all that excited, but he went nevertheless. He had asked another Slytherin girl, Lilliana Havenmore, to go with him to the ball, and she agreed. Just before the ball, Oliver stood in his dorm preparing himself, he had worn his white suit and was staring in the mirror. He wanted to try something new, something that he had never thought of doing before. It's been a while since he learnt how to change the tips of his hair to change color being a metamorphagus. He closed his eyes, and imagined himself with hair that was completely light pink, and red strands of hair on the end. Opening his eyes, he came to see that it had worked. Kind of- his hair was pink- ish but some brown was still there. But, he was proud of it anyway. He walked to the ballroom, and handed his ticket for entry. This party was impressive, with lots of decoration, and music playing. He went straight for the long buffet table. He grabbed a glass and filled it with a strawberry milkshake, while taking another glass filling it with fruit punch for Lilliana. He walked around for a bit, looking for his date, eventually however, he saw her, and smiled as he shouted out, “Lilliana!”

Valentines Ball
─────Lilliana was becoming nervous. She couldn’t find her date, were they at the other end of the room, were they getting late, did they ditch her? The first year tried her best not to appear so anxious, but wasn’t doing that well of a job at it. She took a few deep breaths, hoping that would calm her. It did, a little at least, and she unclenched her body, which was earlier rigid. It had been only a few minutes, what was the need for her to freak out? Trying to not appear stressed, she looked around causally.
It wasn’t hard to tell that the people who planned the whole thing out effort into it. There were candles, and rose petals laid across the floor, and she even found a piñata. There were sticks off to the side, making Lilliana wonder what was inside. There was a tree, which Lilliana guessed was for people to write love notes and sappy messages to one another. She smiled in amusement, she would never see herself doing that. But then something to it’s right caught her eye. A Kiss Booth. The mere sight of it made her laugh out loud. She chuckled a little before looking at the other couples.
The first year went over to the buffet table. She wasn’t planning to get anything right now, but found it a good use of time to see what they had beforehand, because she usually takes a while ‘selecting things’ in general, due to how picky she was. The food was better than she expected though, and felt her mouth water and her stomach chiding her to eat. Lilliana ate a meager lunch, mostly in preparation for the ball, just in case she would be eating a lot. But a voice saved her from her hunger, “Lilliana!” A voice said.
Lilliana looked for the source. The ballroom was full with people, so it took her a few seconds, and she wondered momentarily if there happened to be another girl named ‘Lilliana’, but she then spotted Oliver and her face broke out into a smile. She gave him a slight wave and began walking over, weaving through the crowd, and accidentally bumping into people on the way, and slightly brushing their legs with the end of her dress, until she was next to him. She exhaled shortly, and looked up to him brightly, and flicks a loose strand of her hair back in place in one swift motion.
“Hi!” She said, in a cheery demeanor. “How are you? She asked Oliver, glancing around the ballroom a little before directing her attention back to him. “You look nice.” She told him, looking at their white suit. But something seemed different, though she couldn’t place it for a few seconds. “Oh! Your hair, it’s pink-ish, that’s so cool!” She exclaimed. She studied it for a little while, grinning slightly. Lilliana felt like she was forgetting something, and she tried racking her memory for it before she remembered.
“By the way, here’s this.” She said, holding out her bouquet of flowers, which she’d been holding. “Oh, and um…” She trailed off, opening her purse quickly, rifling through the back until she felt the small box, and took it out. By then, Lilliana’s face was flushed, “Here.” She said promptly, turning away for a second so he wouldn’t notice that her face was turning beet red. She fiddled with her pale blond hair slightly, fidgeting nervously. She wasn’t quite use to these sort of things, and not sure what else to say.

Perhaps the question was one that was well put. Both of them were to be seventh years which meant there was definitely a year left of school before they are off into the real world. Bloom had no idea what her passions were and what she wanted to do with her life, so hearing Howard's was nice to know. He seemed to have an idea of wanting to buy a farm.
Bloom paused her thoughts and wondered if she was with him if that was something she would want. Was she a farmer? Was she good with animals? Would she do well in a farmers lifestyle? There was a lot of muggle and magical elements in it that could be good for them both. But she had a sense of doubt when it came to a farm. "A farm!" she responded, not wanting to be so silent at his answer. "I don't know if I am the farm kind of person," she said, wondering how he would take that. "Honestly, I don't even know what kind of person I am," she said, confessing her lack of purpose in the world.
She then heard words that she did not expect. Did he just hint that he wanted to spend the rest of his life with her by wanting her by his side no matter what? Was he also thinking the same thing as her? But with her farm comment, would he still even think of the same thing? Bloom took another bite of her hamburger, just thinking of those words. They were small, but they meant something big. Bloom swallowed her hamburger and moved her hair behind her ears.
It was now her turn. Bloom wished it was truth and dare. She would be happy to do both, but right now, it seemed that there was a hidden conversation that needed to come out of hiding. "Truth" she whispered, a little anxious on what kind of question Howard would ask.
