Music echoed around her, filling her senses with beautiful mélodies as she kept dancing. Her starry dress twirled around her, matching her movements, as she slowly immobilised herself. The music was ending, and she wanted to greet her partner a warm goodbye. He made her twirl one last time before they both stopped moving. Still grinning, she bowed to the Russian. "Pleasure shared, Sir Vol'ka," she said softly as she straightened up. "I hope our paths cross again."

With one last nod, she let herself being dragged across the dance floor. That last encounter was particularly pleasant, she really hoped to interact with him again. The Charm dragged her towards the middle, and she found herself in front of familiar green eyes.

"Cass !" she exclaimed, a large grin splitting her face. I didn't know we could dance twice with the same partner. Still smiling, she took their hands as the music started again. Sending a familiar presence, she raised her gaze towards the mistletoe branch floating above them. You got away for one dance, and you're here again. Great.

Rolling her eyes, she looked at Cass. "Looks like we won't be able to get one unbothered dance," she joked. "I say we just ignore it." She in fact didn't see another way of not getting things awkward. Unless they have an idea, I'm ignoring you, stupid plant. Elena let her gaze wander around the checkerboard. She spotted Nikolai dancing in his own, hugging the mistletoe branch. The sight warmed her heart. She glanced at her own mitsletoe, hoovering above them. It doesn't make you more friendly.

She turned her gaze towards Cass, smiling at them. "So, what's up ?" she asked, tilting her head. Lame question, Elena. "I mean," she corrected herself. "Are you enjoying the ball so far ? I've danced with several people, they were nice. And bonus, I didn't step on anyone's shoe ! What about you ?"

- The Mistletoe Spin -

As the music faded for the last time of the night, Cass found themself once again dancing with Elena. The mistletoe seemed to have followed them around again, but they just ignored it. "Elena!" they grinned right back at her. At least their final dance of the night would be a good one, since they got to share it with a friend. They were slightly puzzled by her very obvious question though. "The mistletoe is up" they responded "But your right, we should just ignore it". They stuck their tounge out at the offending plant. It was almost starting to annoy them.

"The dance hasn't been bad at all!" they said with a grin "So many new people from the other schools though. Must be so different to Hogwarts". Imagine going to school in the snow all year round. Their uniforms must have to be so warm. And they would probably need a fireplace in like every room. Even the bathrooms! Or going to school by a waterfall. They wondered if anyone had even tried riding it like a waterslide. With a broom of course. Come to think of it, why were all the schools events hosted at Hogwarts when there was so many other cool places?

"I guess we just leave now" they said to her "Since it looks like the dance is all over". It seemed a shame to just go back to their tent after this, but they couldn't exactly hang out here forever. Giving Elena a wave over their shoulder they started to head towards the exit. "See you around helpless lady!" they called back, using the same nickname they had when they first met her.

Action: Leaving the thread unless stopped

Mentioning Nikolai Vol'ka (@Matthew Campbell)

It was clear that this was not a dance of any kind that she had signed up for. This was, in fact, some kind of partnering up with others and Colby, being eleven years old, was not interested. She did meet some people that she would not have had a chance to meet, but she felt like it was for the wrong reasons. In a way, she was glad that she did not get mistletoe, but the entire time she was either under a candle that held itself together or splattered wax all over her. She was done being burnt on top of being forced to dance with others in odd ways.

Colby smiled at the last person she saw and gave eye contact at Nikolai, the one person that she really met and saved her from the first wax droppings, waving goodbye. She was not going to stay another minute. During transition, Colby began to run off the dance floor before it would force her to the next person. She was now watching everyone moving either under a mistletoe or candle. A sense of relief hit her that she was not a part of it anymore. She looked at her arm and began to pick off some of the left over wax that dripped on her. Luckily, it wasn't as much, but the area that wax hit was slightly softer than her skin. When all was picked off, Colby began to walk out of the event and head back to her tent.
