Lemmy once again allowed himself to get lost in the music as the spell compelled him to move once again. Part of him almost wondered if he was still under its effect as he was enjoying himself so much. Perhaps he was just boogying down all on his own! If this was any indication of what was to come during his time at Hogwarts he was all in. He could only imagine what it must be like to hone his magical skill. Maybe one day he’d be the one enchanting dance floors!

The music would stop again and when it did he opened his eyes to discover a new dance partner. “Hello there! My name is Lemmy! My goodness, I’ve introduced myself quite a bit tonight!” Just as Lemmy was about to ramble on about how wonderful of a night he was having something plopped onto his hat. His little part-goblin eyes looked to the skies above expecting to see a flock of birds flying overhead, but all he saw was a very drippy looking candle. “Oh my!” He called out as he averted his eyes. “It would appear that some safety precautions were overlooked. Grandpa Larluff always says safety first!” Lemmy finished with a bit of a chuckle before he slipped his robe off and held it over his over his head to protect himself. “Room for two if you need it!” He offered to his new partner if she needed.

♥♥♥ She had managed to dodge out of the way of the incoming wax, shielding her dance partner at the same time too - much to her own relief. Perhaps she ought to have thought that through a bit more but what was a girl to do? It was not like she had something to protect them with that wasn't, well, herself. There was probably a spell to make the candles stop dripping - at least, she was assuming there would be - but she had not attended a single day of class yet, how was she supposed to know what that spell was?! Hell, she had no idea how to use her wand!

The dance continued and she sighed with relief as she managed to get away from the dangerous candle. Finding herself with another girl, she grinned at her, "Hi, I'm Xiomara!" She announced towards her new dance partner, "Are you also starting Hogwarts in September?" She opted with a question that constantly plagued her mind when she was meeting new people. She really wanted to know who here was also going to be starting in September, and would end up being her new classmates! That would be cool. Of course, as it turned out, most of the students she met where either older than her or from a different school - or both. The odds were against her, in fairness, but she tried nonetheless.

Besides, if the answer was no, there were still things she could find out from them! Older people had cool experiences and advice, sometimes. And people from other schools were always interesting as she wanted to know what the differences were between the two! Not that she had anything to compare with yet but she would, in just under a month!

She was about to continue talking when she noticed that they were - once again - standing underneath a candle and it had wax about to drip right onto them! "Ah, watch out!" Xiomara repeated, once again falling into the same pattern of thought and pushing the girl out of the way even if it meant throwing herself in the path instead. She had not come up with a better tactic yet, sadly, so her instincts just seemed to repeat the same manoeuvre before.

Violet let out a sigh of relief as the music changed and she danced away from her previous partner. The young girl seriously hoped that she did not end up under the mistletoe this time again.
Violet loved dancing, but the event with all the mistletoes and burning candles were getting tiring. She felt as if it was a bad idea to sign up for the event, but the music was good, and it made her want to sway more.
As the music stopped, she found herself in front of a guy, who again wasn't her best friend. Unluckily the guy was too jolly, and the young girl could not keep up with his energy. He introduced himself as Lemmy and Violet was compelled to reply, not wanting to be rude. "O-oh, nice to meet you I guess, I am Violet.", Violet quietly replied, not able to match the guy's energy.
Just as she introduced herself, she saw something plop on Lemmy's hat which made her look up. "Not again", she sighed heavily and rolled her eyes, as she pulled out her wand from the thin pocket of her dress. As Lemmy offered to hold his robe over her head as an umbrella, Violet muttered "No thanks. I will just step away.", slightly moving aside so that the candle could not spoil her dress. Realizing she might have sounded rude, she gave a slight smile and a head bow. Another realization hit her, that she did not actually know any spell that could stop the wax dripping and the umbrella charm was useless in such a situation. Foolishly, she pointed her wand at the tip of the candle, making a curly w with her wrist and enunciated "Extinguo" and hoped the candle would just completely stop burning.

The girl must've been in a fugue state or something because Anichka's hug just hung in the air like a high five between frat boys who were arguing over a bro code violation. Before long it was time to be whisked away again and once again Anichka felt her feet and legs moving on their own. She was having a great time but now it was starting to feel a little samey. Surely there was an easier way to get people to kiss?

And then she stopped across from a little Latin girl who could only be described as cute as a button. She heard her introduce herself as Xiomara and answered her question, "Hello... I Anichka and no... I go Durmstrang... you have very pretty name.." she trailed off and started to blush for some reason. Then, very suddenly, Xiomara tried to push her out of the way of something. It was like in one of those absurd muggle action movies where they try to push someone out of the way of a bullet.

It was a nice sentiment but definitely didn't work. Instead, their legs got tangled up and Anichka was on the floor with Xiomara. The wax had simply dripped on both of them. Now understanding what was happening Anichka laughed with glee. "You... okay?" She asked as she tried to help Xiomara up.

Group 2

FINAL MODERATION POST

At the second dance-floor, a bevy of actions of goodwill flood the holiday-themed chessboard. Lemmy LaRue protects himself from wax with his robe - okay, perhaps not quite as selfless as Xiomara Torres, who shoves Anichka Volosin out of the way of dripping wax before being helped up by that same partner. Aurélie Nathalie Duval has a lovely chat, whilst Violet Rohr successfully casts Extinguo on the candle above her.

The music has faded out, for good this time, and the enchanted instruments drift slowly to the ground. It seems that the event is over, officially, but will the dramatics continue? Only time will tell...

THE DANCE FLOOR HAS SPOKEN:
@Renelle Dalton and Anichka Volosin (@Uri Davies) end up under a candle... that is dripping wax on them!
Aurélie Nathalie Duval (@Ophelia Northwell) and @Lemmy LaRue end up under the mistletoe!
@Xiomara Torres and @Violet Rohr end up under the mistletoe!
Vasilius Nighthawk (@Elisa Shakestra) ends up under the mistletoe! #dancingonyourown

For any questions or concerns, please owl the moderator of this event, @Aly Salinger.

This is the last "paired moderation" post, aka the last time you will be paired with a partner. The music has faded out and the event is technically over. Next Saturday, August 17, I will do one last moderation for any spells/actions that have been cast in this round, and that will be the end of moderations for this event, though you are welcome to continue RPing in this thread following that.

If you have not posted in the last three rounds of the Spin, you have been removed from the event and were not matched with a partner for this final round. You are welcome to continue RPing as if you have been here, but you have simply been dancing on your own.

No sooner than they had gotten themselves together after Xiomara's attempt to save her, they were on the move yet again. Anichka waved after her as they spun around the dance floor once more. The novelty was really wearing off on this whole uncontrollable dancing thing. She was starting to get sweaty and felt gross, and was not in the mood to kiss anyone or anything until she'd had a nice bath. Whereas before she had been excited to see who fate would pair her with next, at this point she was just... well... really over it all. She was very much hoping she could sneak to the edge of the dance floor soon.

Suddenly, the music stopped and she was once again across from the girl who seemed to be just... not there. She looked up and let out a yelp as she that, once again, there was a dripping candle above them. She instinctively felt herself act. She tried to shield the oblivious girl like an overgrown bat covering itself with its wings. She felt the candle wax drip onto her but was not sure if it had also landed on the other girl. She sighed, she'd really liked this top and hoped a spell would get the wax off.

Aurélie was about ready to give up, when she realised that the dance, and therefore the game, was almost over. The music picked up once more, practically dragging her around now that she'd lost her energy. The movement in her limbs, and the cheery way in which they moved, felt forced and artificial, not magical like it had felt before.

The music ended and the French girl ended up under a mistletoe sprig... again. With a boy. Her eyes scanned the student's face, eyes wide and terrified. She'd already encountered this situation before, and she could handle it again. Aurélie took a deep breath, then burst out with her signature smile.

"Uhm, hello." Her voice was soft and unsteady. She was not used to asking people if she could kiss them. "We're- we're under the mistletoe. If... if you wouldn't mind, I guess I could give you a kiss on the cheek?" She felt her voice grow high in pitch by the end of her proposal. Hopefully, this wouldn't get awkward, hopefully the boy with turn her down.

No matter what he did, as soon as the round was over, and Aurélie was out of the grasp of the enchanted platform and its enchanted music, she left, ready to go back to her tent. She needed rest after an exhausting activity like this one. Maybe she could get some much needed sleep.
