In truth, she was slightly nervous. True, she was wearing a pretty nice dress and hair was fixed up in a bun; she felt strangely lonely. She bit her lip, and remembered her crush once more. Why hadn't she asked him out, before someone else did? She sighed, and looked up. She couldn't bear be sad even at the worst of times but fake smiling wasn't going to be her way either. Knights went alone, so princesses could to. At least, though, she should have said hi to her friends before moving on, so she inhaled yet another dose of flowers. It really did transform overnight, and a magnificent maze curled around it. Sounds of laughs and trumpets in the distance made her smile again, and out of her sea blue eyes, they twinkled happily. I'll just say hi to Mat.... she said firmly to herself. Whatever harm could that do? She was wearing a pair of moonstone earrings to "bring out the color of yours eyes, dear" as her mother had told her when they went for their shopping once a year treat (it happened often, but Angelique and her mother had odd times to work or study, so it was sadly not often that they went out).

Duvessa wore a sparkling silver dress, showing as little as possible of her skin. Her hair was styled perfectly, for she wanted to look pretty in front of her crush - and of course, a best....well, was it someone who you could call friend? She had seen the girl crying, but she honestly changed her mind, because she began to think that the girl had just made a mistake. A human.

She decided last minute to invite her, after a slightly funny conversation later, so she walked to the "ball" with Ava next to her. She was wearing a twin look of excitement and an identical dress - only a soft raspberry pink this time. While Duvessa was not wearing flowers; she saw her friend was. They were honestly beautiful, and the two girls made their way to the mystic ball.

It was not like the ordinary, because sweet smelling flowers wafted around, and a truly magical eyesight came alive in the young Slytherins maze. A challenge. Something that Duvessa loved more than anything. It was such a thrilling day for her, and it was getting even more exciting. All she had to do was get passed it....how long would it take?

She also promised to take Bouncy a free time in her dorm, under very rat-proof conditions to make sure that she wasn't missing out on the treat!

A school wide ball.

It was sure to be exciting, right? It was more than school wide. It was world wide. All the schools were at hogwarts, and everyone was going to be at the ball. It was going to be big.

Big. Was that what Ava wanted? Maybe in another life, but she would be content with just her best friend with her, having fun anywhere. But she couldn’t help but get swept up in the preparations. Who was going with who. Who was wearing what.

Last minute, Ava had somehow got a slytherin girl she head met on the train to go with her. Duvessa Ember. They even had matching dresses. A silver dress for Duvessa, and a soft pink dress for Ava. Along with the pink dress, Ava had found a pair of glass slippers that she had from the start of the year. Embarrassing enough, Ava had thought Hogwarts was a fancy school where you wore dresses and suits all day. She had realized soon enough that they had school robes they had to wear, and she had packed all her fancy clothes away in her trunk. Until now, when she found the chance to bring some out.

Ava was lucky she had been struck with inspiration last minute. She would be wearing her hair normally had she not. She had made herself a crown of flowers out of the flowers that had been blooming on the grounds. It may only last for a single day, but it was worth it. It gave Ava a floral scent, and a way to make her hair much more exciting.

Ava and Duvessa would only be together until Duvessa’s date arrived, but Ava would wait with her. What Ava would do after, she didn’t know. “Who is taking you?” Ava asked her, waiting patiently at her side.

Lloyd was happy, but also sad. He had had so many plans for this ball, but his (former) ex girlfriend and former best friend had ended everything between them, and left school. What she had said was true - he had romanticized their friendship, and then their relationship, and he had - now looking back - been the only one who truly was 'in love'. Lloyd was disappointed in himself, and in what and who he had thought Eloise was. Now was not the day for thinking about this though, so Lloyd changed into the pink floral suit his sister made him, and looked himself over. His blond hair was longer now, and hung down to his shoulders. He liked his hair longer, though he was considering cutting it shorter again. The long hair made him think of the Fall Ball and the moments he thought he had shared with Eloise during the Damsel x Rescuer race. Walking up to the enterance to the ball, Lloyd saw a maze. It was late afternoon or early evening, depending on how you looked at it, and the Maze looked enchanting, to say the least. Lloyd spotted a familar face, and decided to say hello to the friend he had made in Paris a few months prior. He walked up to Angelique and said in french "hello!!! i believe we met in Paris..? your name is Angelique, correct?"

Alana began to make her journey down towards the grounds the chatter of the spring ball was everyone was mentioning and talking about days even weeks prior. The young fiery red haired girl could not hold her bustling excitement. Alana trekked down from the castle being as careful as she could down the path in order to not hurt herself. The young fiery red haired girl had her hair braided in a nicely braided french braid, her fiery red hair seemed to brighten like a flame with the waning suns rays hitting her hair just right, woven into her gently fiery braid were green ivy like vines. The small leaves attached to the ivy poked out gently from the fiery locks of the braid. Making her hair resemble an ivy covered wall. The young girl adorned a sea-foam green dress that seemed to roll off of the girl like a wonderful waterfall. The top of the dress resembled something like a corset clinging tightly to the young girls top as the bottom of her dress flowed down slightly to the young girls ankle similar to waves rolling across the oceans surface. Her sleeves were off shoulder and rest on her upper arms the sheer calming green fabric being seeable could make out the young girls Sunkissed skin tone. On the bottom half of the dress were golden roses that were sewn in neatly to the soft fabric as if it was made from a gentle sheep's wool. On the small lanky girl's feet are a pair of lilac cream wedges similar to the same color texture of lavender body lotion. A top of the wedges were vibrant lavender purple flowers though they were artificial they almost looked as if they were alive with how brightly vivid they were. Giving the girl an extra inch so instead of Alana standing about four feet five inches tall she was standing about four feet six inches tall with the wedges adorn on the small sun-kissed tone girls feet.

Alana took a fresh breath of air as she neared the entrance towards the maze her soft sea-foam blue eyes scanned the signs a flicker of joy seemed to be jumping around the young girls eyes seemed to lighten up brightly. Alana scanned her surroundings the chatter of students could be hear along with the sounds of many creatures that resided nearby. Turning her attention back towards the entrance of the maze the young fiery red haired girl started walking into the maze as her wedges made a soft clopping sound on the dirt path.

Alana walked down the dirt path her eyes scanned the signs that seemed uttermost confusing to the young girl. The sweet aroma of the flowers wafted through the beautiful maze. The fiery red haired girl took in a small breathe before exhaling softly. Her soft sea-foam teal eyes sparkled with pure joy the thought of a wonderful adventure inside the maze enlightened the girl greatly. Alana looked at the signs in front of her that read "Over here, This way, That way" Alana hummed in slight confusion her soft ginger eyebrows scrunched up in a knit brow as her face seemed to look a bit sour. Alana glanced around wondering which way would be the better way to go. Sighing the young girl stared at the signs carefully followed the sign that pointed "This way" the fiery red haired girl walked softly. She was in no rush seemed to enjoy the scenery around her.

Though the maze walls seemed as if they were closing in on the girl and would make one uneasy Alana seemed to not mind her eyes kept scanning everything around her. Her sea-foam blue eyes landed on little mushrooms that hopped around as if they were dancing in the bushes of flowers that rested in the windy and turning maze. Alana listened to her surroundings the young girl figured listening to everything would help her find her way out of the twisty and turning maze. The fiery red haired girl continued making her journey through the maze her fiery braid swayed back in fourth gently like a tree branch in a gentle winds breeze. The sweet smell of flowers wafted through the air pleasantly making the young girl smile a radiating bright smile. One thing Alana did seem to enjoy the sweet smell of the maze with it's many variety of flowers that seemed to bloom and blossom every which way you look.

As the young first year Gryffindor girl continued her journey she just fell lost in a comfortable silence as the waning sun shimmered it's bright rays down upon the young girls hair making it almost brighten like a freshly lit flame. As Alana continued her journey through the maze the young girl began to hum to herself softly, the soft tapping sound of her wedge shoes hitting gently on the dirt path echoed gently through out the maze area.

As Alana continued walking the young girl turned a corner noting nearby was an opening towards the exit so she believed it seemed as it if was the exit the young girl continued her trek quietly listening to the sweet sound of nature surrounding the young girl. Her dress seemed to glide gently behind her as it resembled that of a cape for a moment. Alana pushed a stray strand of her fiery red hair behind her ear as she neared the exit of the maze. Her sea-foam blue eyes sparkled with sheer happiness as she glanced around her surroundings. The young girl took in a breathe of air noting she could see the banquet close by near the Great Lake nearby. With a broaden grin on the young girls face. She began to make her trek towards the banquet their the young girl figured she could either make new friends and see her friends that maybe there already.

Bailey was almost ready for the ball. She had put on her blue butterfly dress, and had curled her hair. Clipping in the butterfly extensions, Bailey smiled at herself. tonight is a night for fun, happiness, joy, and not worrying about kim. just make some new friends... maybe find Hiro or another old friend.
Bailey felt confident enough in her ability to walk in heels that she had gotten a pair, with a tiny stem of a heel, and with delicate straps that had butterflies on them. Knowing that her shoes were open toed, bailey had done her nails the previous night in a light shade of baby pastel blue, which she loved. On top of her head bailey placed a crown of gold and pastel pink and blue butterflies. She had gone a little crazy in her interpretation of the ball's theme, but she like the outfit she had pulled together. For jewelry bailey had an assortment of gold rings, bracelets, and necklaces which all followed the theme of butterflies.
Slipping her wand into the hidden pocket in her dress, bailey grabbed her small white and pastel blue purse, which had the necessities in it - a napkin, lip gloss, tissues, another hair clip, three bobby pins, two pieces of mint gum.
Walking up to the Maze, bailey entered the enchanting seeming maze, and smiled. It was beautiful, like something out of a fairy tale, which she loved. Bailey spotted a boy in a pink floral suit, which was cute but also made her think of something her grandmother would wear as a dress. Smiling at the thought of her grandmother, bailey wondered where Kim was - and where her other friends were.
Bailey was truly drop dead gorgeous today, something that she did not fully realize not care about. But this fact would be noticed by someone, who may come up to bailey to shoot his shot with bailey later.

Just as quick as it had come, April was nearing its end. In just a week or two, May would begin, and that meant that school was going to end soon. Really, Ciel was just excited to go home for summer and not have to worry about schoolwork. Just thinking of the sweet release of not having homework to do was making her even more exciting for the upcoming months. Still, it was April, and there were things to do. Like, say, the upcoming Spring Court.
Ciel was more than exciting for the event, even more so since she scored herself a date. The situation she had gotten herself in in order for her to even go to the ball with Valarie was embarrassing at best, but it was very much so in Ciel style to smash herself headfirst into a giant tree. Even thinking about the encounter made the Hufflepuff groan in annoyance and embarrassment. Hopefully Val forget about it very soon!
The dress she had chosen to wear was a sundress her mother had custom-made for her, and she was excited to wear it, to say the least. It was white with yellow flowers, all in the shape of the flower her mother had loved dearly. But if you asked Ciel what it was, she'd nervously laugh and move the conversation quick along.
An Enchanted Maze was something Ciel was a bit confused about. What exactly was enchanted about it? Her question was answered swiftly when she saw just what the maze looked like. Colors and smells were everywhere! Eyes becoming almost overwhelmed with the number of things to look at, Ciel was stuck in her spot. This place was gorgeous!
Her eyes searched around for the girl she was bringing as a date, but with no sign of Valarie, Ciel decided to wait first, hopefully the Ravenclaw would show up soon- there was no way Ciel was going to go in the maze by herself.

Finally, the day had come. The Spring Court. Mat wasn't entirely sure what he was expecting, but the gorgeous maze filled with flowers and plants definitely didn't disappoint. He had gained a bit of respect for the Hogwarts school. If the administrators could pull off something as grand as this, then who knows what else they're capable of?
He knew who he was taking as a date- a pretty Hogwarts girl named Charlie, but he hadn't caught sight of her just yet. And while it wasn't like she'd be easy to miss, with eyesight as poor as Mathis', well, it'd be difficult to spot just about anyone in this colorful mess of plants.
Someone he did spot, however, was a girl he recognized pretty well. Angelique Selemine, aka, his cross-continental quill pal. He only recognized her from the letters they had sent throughout the year, where photos had been exchanged.
He strolled up to her, his fingers twisting the metal rings that sat atop of them. The designs were various, although Mathis recognized all of them. Patterns that could only be recognized if you traced them as much as he did, or words that the bare eye could only see if they looked as close as possible, Mat was acutely aware of how many letters were on the rings.
"Angelique!" Mat said as he neared. After he had called out to her, he recognized another Beauxbatons student, ah, what was his name again? "And... Lloyd?" Mat felt his voice falter as he tried to recall the boy's name. "What a pleasant surprise to see you both here. Well- you, Lloyd."
There was a chance his words came off as rude or harsh, but it wasn't like he was going to lie. Of course, Mat knew Angelique would be there, they had spoken about it in detail in the letters they exchanged. From the potential drama to picking out what they would wear, Mat would only be surprised if Angelique decided to skip out instead.

Her dress:

The day had come. The day of the Sprint Court. Valarie had invited Ciel Saskia to the ball with her and Valarie was just grateful Ciel hadn’t turned her down. Valarie made her way to the Enchanted Maze to begin searching for her date. She found Ciel standing by the maze and gasped when she caught sight of the maze. It was beautiful. Valarie shifted her focus back to Ciel and walked the rest of the way to her. Valarie smiled.
“Hi, Ciel! You look beautiful!” Valarie smiled widened at the sight of Ciel. She looked at the maze and motioned towards the maze.
“Shall we head in?” She asked the Hufflepuff, or Pufflehuff as Ciel had accidentally called herself when they first met. Valarie felt a strand of hair collapse down from the hairstyle she had out her brown curly hair up into. She groaned inside, frustrated that her hair was already giving up on the style she had worked on getting it into. She didn’t dare try to fix the strand, worried it would just mess with the rest of her hair. Her hands got the best of her and she reached up and tired to tuck the strand back into place. She dropped her hand back down to her side, giving up on fixing her hair.
