The ballroom was transformed perfectly into a recreation of a dance of the past following the theme of murder mystery and golden perfection. It was a historical recreation of a beautiful dance that an earl or a lord might have hosted, something Tristan was very dedicated to. If he was to attempt anything, he would do such with perfection and this was what it was. He had hired workers to act the part of a butler, footmen, and a cook. They were wixen so the house elves could be used in situations of need. However, the authenticity of the ball could be kept in most situations. The decoration resembled the lavish parties of Gatsby, black, gold, and feathers, but he was a noble and his sensibilities could not accept a totally unsophisticated party such as a true American party of such a time, but the decorations were accurate as it could be. Tristan had, of course, examined the room and the preparation of the dancing area thoroughly throughout the entire process of setting up this family ball. He had also been insistent on finding a jazz quartet from the wizarding world which was quite hard to do. It would create a beautiful atmosphere that would fit the theme that this entire event was set to be. The quarter was composed of a pianist, a bassist, a saxophonist, and a violinist. Although Tristan had desired a guitarist, he knew he was not able to hire such as the magic issue. If only there was a way to remove that issue and get what he wanted but no amount of genius in hundreds of years had ever attempted to combine muggle technology and magic, so he would have to suffer such unless he was able to work out a way to cast Sonorus on a electric guitar. Either way, the jazz quartet was a success, and it would work either way. He was paying them out of the family vault twenty galleons for each person which was a great fortune yet an amount that Tristan believed was worth it. The hors dโoeuvres had been prepared perfectly, with a spell cast on them to keep them cold. The hors dโoeuvre menu of course involved anything from charcuterie and mini macarons, anything that people would want. He had also placed a fancy sign explaining that whatever people wanted they could also call the head family elf, Pippy, as well. The dancing would begin at four and then dinner would come but that would of course be set in the dining room and somewhere far away from where people would get too excited. The music would calm down but the quartet was paid to continue playing all night including during the murder mystery game where they would add some atmosphere into the game. The entrance of the guests had gone well, and thus now, it was time for the dancing. At four oโclock he led them through the double doors and gestured for the music to start and the dancing to begin. He announced confidently aloud, โI welcome you to ask for any music suggestions you desire. There are hors d'oeuvres available as well as wizarding world cuisine. In addition, you may ask the butler, footmen, and the elves for anything you might need. " He allowed himself to step aside as he announced such, and acknowledge his parents enter into the room to mingle with the others. He would wait to see who he would dance with, but that would definitely come later when he saw who would be the most appropriate for him to dance with.

Mentioning @Hannah Blossom and @Tristan Theramin
Madison was enjoying her first ever ball and marveled at how beautiful the ballroom looked. She spent most of the ball talking to Hannah Blossom. Once it was time to dance she would do, though she didn't exactly know who to dance with. Her dad Atticus soon led her mother Victoria to the floor as did some of the other adults, though Madison decided that now would be a good time to wait, as her mothers instructions rang in her ear. "Madison you wait for a boy to ask you properly do you hear and stand up straight" her mother Victoria whispered to her. Madison nodded and smiled politely, though she and her mother didn't get along as well as she did with her dad.
Madison recognised a few of the songs, though she didn't listen to much music other than classical or the ones her father had taught her to play on the piano as a young girl. She was seeing a different side to Tristan than the one she normally saw at school, though she had knew she would do since this was his home and they weren't at school. Madison kept her back straight and her manners in check to please her mother, watching as her mother and her dad interacted with the other adults after dancing to the first song.

.The party raged on in the ballroom, with many of the adults drunk already, Odi couldn't help but lament the experience of all the people here too young to drink firewhisky. He supposed it must seem to the grown-ups in the room like a fun night, but the tension among all the underage wizards and witches was palpable. The fear of asking someone to dance - or worse still, the fear of not being asked at all - seemed to have everyone paralysed with fear.
I suppose that's where I come in. Odi thought to himself. He knew that his own confidence (Or arrogance, depending on how you looked at it) would get the ball rolling. He took a glance at his mother, who was already looking between him and Madison with an almost gleeful look. Odi got the message. The band were blaring out some jazzy number to match the theme of the party, which he knew would be difficult to dance until the atmosphere of the party had kicked up a little more. Psst. Hey!" Odi whispered to the pianist. "You guys know Mariano Mores' Tanguera?" The pianist looked to the rest of the musicians, who nodded reasonably. "Would you mind?" Odi pleaded. The musicians exchanged another look and nodded again. "You're the best" Odi said with a charming smile, he knew a tango was the best way to integrate the more classically-trained purebloods among his peers into the more freeform styles of dance like jazz.
Odi approached the blonde girl he had spoken to earlier and gave a slightly effacing half-smile. "Madison Bennet?" He asked, half-confirming for himself that he had indeed caught her name right. "Would it be terribly over-zealous of me to ask you to dance?" He held out his hand and gave her a little eyebrow shrug as if to say Don't worry, I know how awkward these things normally are.

Madison looked up as she heard her name being called and saw that it was one of the boys that she'd been talking to earlier. "Yes that's me, what's your name again?" she asks, as she looks at her mother who nods and non verbally encourages her.
She turns to the boy, stands up as she evens out her dress and smiles at him "I'm so sorry for asking again, I've just met so many new people today, it's hard to keep track sometimes, and no not at all, though I must warn you, i'm not particularly skilled at dancing to this music, my mother wanted me more classically trained" Madi said, walking with him to the floor and taking a deep breath as she became very nervous. She relaxed slightly when other adults came onto the floor, however this was the first time she'd danced with someone who wasn't her dad or older brother.
As the music started, Madi looked at Odilon with a slightly confused look, "um, how exactly do we dance to this kind of music? I don't believe i've ever heard it before" Madi asked with slight curiosity and slight tentativeness, she knew a lot was riding on tonight for her parents and so didn't want to mess this up.

.Flashing another charming grin, Odilon could almost sense Madison's nervousness as she walked out to the floor. "Odilon Wilde. Of the London Wildes." He gently put a hand on her waist and held out his arm for her to take. "Don't sweat it, I'll guide you through it. He assured her. "It's just like a waltz only slightly faster, I picked a slower song so you could get the hang of it. He shot her a wink as he talked through the basic steps, giving her a rundown of the main differences between a traditional waltz and a tango.
Out of the corner of his eye, Odi could see his mother and father grinning so widely that they looked as though they might be suspended at the corner of each mouth from the ceiling. Odi tried to ignore them. He straightened his back and gave another reassuring look to Madison as they began to dance across the floor. She's pretty, Odi thought to himself, she's probably used to people staring at her. Odi knew that even as a part-Veela his dancing would elicit some gawking. He hoped Madison would not pay attention to this, or at least that she would assume they were staring at her.

Madison took his arm and smiled back, nodding as he taught her the steps. "Thank you Mister Wilde, I appreciate that" Madi said in with a smile. Madi saw the wink but ignored it, she had feelings for someone else, though she still wasn't sure if he liked her back or not.
Madison saw her parents smiling too, though in a very pure blooded way, those smiles never gave away anything unless they wanted them to do so. Madi then smiled at Odilon again as he lead her across the dancefloor. She noticed a lot of people staring at her, though Madison did her best to ignore it, she was pretty used to people staring at her a lot, even when she was little.
Once the dance was over, Madison curtsied to her partner and then saw Hannah, "excuse me and thank you again for the dance, I enjoyed it" Madi said with a smile as she went over to Hannah and got given some water by Tristan's house elf. "the tango was fun, though I think I prefer the waltz if i'm honest, i might wait a bit longer and then see what happens when a waltz song comes on" she says to Hannah as she sits back down and rests her feet for a while. She keeps her back straight and posture right as her dad holds her mother back from fussing over her. Her dad told her mother quietly to stop fussing and focus on socialising. Madison gave him a grateful smile and went back to talking with Hannah.

Hannah knew how to dance. She hated it. Her mother came up while she was talking to Madison to her and said "Excuse me? May I have a word with Hannah?" with no answer she pulled Hannah and started blabbing about how to properly dance. "Now go stand and wait for a boy to go ask you." said her mother.
Hannah nodded and when she came back, Madison was already dancing with a boy. The girl knew she would probably attract some attention, being a Part-Veela. However, she wouldn't tell anyone this. If anyone did ask, she was a pure-blood, for today at least.
Hannah looked at Madison dancing. She thought she wasn't doing very well, but that was something she would not comment, since that was rude and her parents wouldn't accept that kind of behavior.
Once she came back, she still was with him. Talking. Hannah grinned and nodded. She fixed her dress and looked over at her parents. They were heading over to dance. But, they stopped. Her mother winked at her. Hannah waited for someone to come up to her and ask her to dance.
For now, she could talk to Madison, she didn't, yet. Hannah thought of what she could say. "You dance well." she commented looking at the girl. She smiled.
She grabbed some water from an elf passing by. "Thank you." she said to the house elf. "It's hot in here, is it not?" she asked Madison, whilst holding back to fan herself with her hands. Instead, she took a sip of the water, which was cold. Too cold. Hannah thought the heat was probably from her dress, which had long sleeves.

Turned out that Odilon dragged Maverick to a dance room. There was a musician, to whom his fellow Gryffindor spoke to. Maverick could not hear what his friend said, but not long after that came a new song up in the air, and the second year asked one of the guests to dance with him. Moving to the side, back touching the wall, Maverick grabbed a glass of light grape juice and took a sip.
Yeah, Odi might dance to his heart's content, but the part-Veela would not make himself look (or sound, or both) desperate by asking someone's favour. Besides, he had not seen anyone good-looking enough to invite. If someone asked him, he may answer yes and dance, depending on how attractive that person was for him.
After Odilon had finished, Maverick approached the fellow second year, slightly out of breath, face reddening without him realising it. "Why did you drag me here just to leave me while you invited some random guest to dance?" he asked rather sharply, volume controlled without any shout audible, but it was obvious that he was angry and definitely not pleased with what had just happened. "Look, if this is your idea of fun, I don't like it at all."

After dancing with Odilon, Madison saw his friend talk to him kinda sharply, so she felt it best not to interfere and decided to go and sit down to catch her breath and drink some water. She got some and drank it, rubbing her feet because they hurt from her heels.
Her mother Victoria came over and talked with Madison, rather sternly but quietly, before her dad Atticus, took her mother's hand and took her to the dancefloor. Madi smiled at him to show her thanks for what he did, she and her dad were very close. Madison got up and walked past Maverick and Odilon towards one of the house elves who had some nibbles on a silver dish. She smiled and took one, eating it as the house elf walked on.
Madison was trying to find Hannah but couldn't amongst the sea of people, before spotting a dress she recognised, "hey Hannah, goodness I need a break after that dance, hopefully they play a song we can dance to that's fun and not as slow, though I do enjoy a slow dance every so often. How about you?" Madison asked, not wanting to talk too much.

Hannah stood in the corner where she and Madison were talking. She observed as her parents went off to dance. They would be dancing for a while and wouldn't be looking at her.
Madison came back. "I do hope so." "I'm kind of sick of slow dancing. I've been doing it my whole life. And I hate my dance instructor." she rolled her eyes. He didn't even know how to dance.
She took a macaroon from a house elf offering one. The girl smiled, and thanked him. She was trying to look sweet and innocent so a boy would come up to her and ask her to dance, well actually her parents forced her.
Hannah looked at the boy who told them to call him Castle, his last name. She didn't like calling him that. It was... weird, but she'd call him that or whatever. The girl did not care. If she didn't dance she wouldn't care at all, instead she hoped for it. Her parents had forced her to come, but she was ending up kind of enjoying it. Just because she made a friend. Otherwise, she hated every aspect of the ball.
Hannah took a bite out of the macaroon, it was pretty good, but not the best ever. At least for her taste. It was way too sweet.
"So, what do you think about balls so far?" she asked Madison.
