Yule Ball

[Dovesary Aemeson]

ooc: wow stephine, your dress is almost exactly like mine only red. cool!

Dove walked into the Dance Hall, looking around. "Wow," she breathed. "It's absolutely beautiful in here!" Dove wandered around the hall, looking at everything. She saw Claire, and waved. When she saw Kevin and Sarah, she went over to say hi. "Hi guys," she said breathlessly. "Isn't this great?"

ooc: me in my dress

[Jack P. Riddle]

Jack walked up behind dove and kissed her on the cheek and then whispered in her ear. "Hey."

[Blaze Oceana]

Blaze entered the dance hall with a soft smile on her face. Her hair was in an updo, and her dress perfectly accentuated her figure. She was pleased to see that the students all looked so happy and carefree, despite the tragedy that had happened the night before. Perhaps many were still not aware of it. She glanced around the hall, head held high, hoping to spot someone she knew

[Dovesary Aemeson]

Dove turned to see Jack standing behind her. "Hey," she replied. She took hold of his hand, then gazed around the Hall again. "This place is beautiful, I can't believe they got it this pretty in here, even with magic!" Dove silvery laugh filled the space, and her hair rippled without wind.

[Jack P. Riddle]

Jack pulled Dove into his arms."Just so you know I was keeping it "pg" in the owlery I thought you'd prefer a bed to the hay." Jack laughed a little.

OOC: Got to go be back later.

[Lizabeth Riddle]

"okay then" Lizabeth said she then spotted Blaze and waved at her hoping she would join them for awhile so Lizabeth could ask if she had fund a date or not Lizabeth waited to see if she was coming or had some thing else to do.

[Dovesary Aemeson]

Dove blushed. "I just didn't want anyone coming in to, you know, mail a letter or something and getting the wrong idea. I'd never get that off my case." Dove smiled, and leaned into Jack's arms, feeling comfortable as she could get, in the middle of a crowded Dance Hall.

[Blaze Oceana]

Blaze spotted Lizabeth waving to her from across the room where she was standing with Wolf. She gave the girl a smile when she caught her eye, and walked slowly up to her.

"Hello Lizabeth, you look quite nice this evening," she said lightly

[Jameson Wulfe]

almost unseen by the people around him, Jameson walked along the edge of the wall. Very nervous about this sort of thing, Jameson of course didn't have a date. In fact, he barely knew 20 students. oh well, at least I can watch people, maybe even meet a new friend or two here thought the smallish boy. He was dressed in white, which almost made him glow.

He looked around a bit, and moves awaya bit. standing in a corner, he watched the dancers, and saw that Gryffindor girl he met at the lake. wow, she looks nice he thought. he saw The slytherin girl that had picked on him when he was looking at the paintings and unconciously a shiver ran through him, something is not right about her he thought, not really noticing thathis hair and eyes had darkened considerably just thinking about it. He stood and watched, he actually liked this sort of thingas long as he could be a spectater, even talking to people made him nervous, let alone dancing with them.

[Lizabeth Riddle]

Lizabeth smiled as she came across the hall towards them "ello Blaze well thank you you look very nice your self" Lizabeth said looking at Blazes orange dress which was really pretty on her "so Blaze did you get a date?" she asked hoping she did because she looked to beautiful to be here alone

[Katy J. Salmalin]

Katy walked into the Dance Hall, in a dress of red satin with patterned floral designs on it. She felt glamorous, like she could do anything in that dress. It made no sense at all and was completely laughable, but hey, a woman can dream, right? Katy wandered around the hall, looking at the beautiful decorations, and greeting passing students. She looked at the entertainment list, and saw several of her pupils on it. Interesting, she thought. Of all the would-be bands who intended to perform, only one of them showed up. Quite interesting. Katy continued to browse, admiring the girls' dresses (especially Blaze's, I love it!!!!) and 'awww'ing in her head at some of the couples. She sortof wished she had gotten a partner, but it wasn't a big deal. Katy was an independent person, and did not rely on such things as a date to keep her happy. It was Christmas Eve, and they were at a giant party! Who wouldn't be happy?

Katy wearing her dress:

[Claire DeLour]

*Claire looked up as somebody called her name. It was Stephanie, and she looked beautiful in her dress.*

O Stephanie, look at you! How are you? Do you have a date?

*She smiled happily and then she heard somebody else approach.*

Dove, look at you in your lovely dress! I'm so glad you decided to come...

*Jack came up behind Dove and she knew instantly that he was her date. Jack, the one she'd met down in the chamber.*

O, hello, you must be Dove's date. Jack wasn't it?

*Claire tried to put on a friendly smile for Dove, she really seemed to like the guy. From inside the hall, she could hear music starting to play.*

O, you should all go inside, Ben will be here shortly.

*She looked at her watch, and it was already 20 minutes past when the dance had been scheduled to start.*

[Stephine Nelson]

Stephine smiled at Clarie and looked at her dress it was alright but she thought it could be better. She then looked back up at Clarie. "I'm fine, and Drake isn't here yet so i guess i'm solo." She started to twirl her hair. "So Clarie how are you and who's your date?" Stephine asked curiousity in her voice.

[DeAngelo Love]

DLo had arrived at the dance hall wearing his dress-suit.

Keeping his hat on he waited for Filles, hoping that she'd show up soon. He's been waiting for this night all month. And since this morning he was hungry for the banquet dinner.

[Dameon Cross]

Dameon walks into the entrace to the yule ball. he is not dressed up at all. in fact he was in his dark blue hoodie and jeans. he leaned against the entrace, He saw his little sister dancing around having fun, kevin and sarah they looked like they were having fun. he did not see aeryn he knew she was probably there and having the time of her life. Dameon looked around and met eyes with claire she was alone, he figured her date had not arrived yet, Dameon quickly turned away as crypto poped up on his shoulder, "hey dameon ou alright?" "yeah crypto 'm fine" "uh huh, well merry christmas" Dameon looks at his friends and once more looked for the love of his life and then turns away and walks ut 'yeah merry christmas" said dameon as he walked away from the place he knew he did not belong.

[Dovesary Aemeson]

A hand rested on Dameon's shoulder. It was Dove. "Dame, are you okay? You look a bit upset." Dove had a look of concern on her face. "Is it you and Aeryn? I hope nothing's too badly wrong," she said quietly. "Come on, come join us. It's fun! Or at least stay to hear the band play. Me'n Kevin are both in it, we want you to hear us."

[Claire DeLour]

Well you should go in anyways Stephanie. And you look lovely, your dress is beautiful!

*Claire looked to the side and saw Dameon standing against a wall. She was now all alone, 30 minutes after the dance was supposed to start, and Ben still hadn't arrived. She sighed, and walked over next to Dameon, careful for her dress not to touch the stone wall.*

Hey.

*She said quietly, not looking at him but at the floor.*

[Dameon Cross]

Dameon looked at dove "there is no me and aeryn, not anymore at least, dove I think i just need to be aloe, I had crypto bug the stage hes recording the show for me, but I just can't be around all the happy couples right now" Dameon walks away from dove as claire approached him, "hey" he said back to he, "why aren't you and ben having fun together?"

[Stephine Nelson]

Stephine smiled "Thanks Clarie you look lovely too." Stephine was just about to walk in when she saw Dameon there she hadn't sen him in awile and she was still upset thathe had left and didn't even tell anybody that he was leaving. Stephine then walked over to Dameon and tryed to smile "Hey big brother" she said.

[Claire DeLour]

Ben hasn't really showed up yet.

*She said quietly.*

But I'm sure he'll be here soon.

*She added, quickly as if not to give him the idea that was growing in her head.*

[Dovesary Aemeson]

"You're just saying that. Dameon, you'll never get over it if you run away like this! You have to learn to be sociable, even when the circumstances don't fit you. You can't miss the ball, it's the biggest thing of they year! But if you really want to go........" Dove trailed off, looking at her blue ballet flats. "I suppose you could. It wouldn't be much fun, but I understand you just need some time alone. I've had times like that too."

[Dameon Cross]

Dameon looked at his sister "hey little sis, sorry for leavng and everyting, just something very important came up suddenly" he gave his sister a hug "hey why don't you go back in there and have some fun with your date," Dameon attemps to smile but can't "This is why I was not going to come, now I got you all down" Dameon turns away, he looked at claire he knew what sh was thinking, "don't worry claire he'll show up" Dameon looks at dove, "Hey dove I would stay but I can't be in the same room as aeryn right now"

[Stephine Nelson]

Stephine hugged Dameon back and kissed him on the cheek. "Why don't you come in, have some fun with me and your friends." Stephine said smiling at him "Come on lets go have fun." She sad trying to get him to come in.

[Dovesary Aemeson]

Dove laid a hand on Dameon's arm, then kissed his other cheek. "Go on," she said. "The sooner you leave and have some alone time, the sooner you can come back and have fun."

[Dameon Cross]

"i'm sorry guys but I'm not in a party mood today, I have had a pretty crappy three weks and now I just kinda want to go up the common room and do nothing"

[Kira]

A flash of blue to her left caught the lycaness' eye, and she turned slightly. Through the doors came another familiar face, this time a mere student. Dove.

A grin that most would describe as evil appeared on her face as she stepped toward the girl, the expression quickly replaced with a frown of disappointment as the girl went to talk to several other students. She would just have to wait for the right moment.

Kira returned once more to her place against the wall, idly running a hand through the loose strands of hair that hung over her shoulders. She wondered, for the briefest of moments, if the girl would recognize her in her human form. Probably not. The grin from a short time ago reappeared on her face at the thought. This could be fun!

She waited a few more minutes, hoping to catch the student on her own, before finally giving up. Grin widening, she set off with deliberate steps.

"Enjoying yourself, girl?" she asked, speaking softly into the girl's ear. She stepped quickly, waiting to see if she had gotten the desired reaction.

((Sorry Dove, I couldn't resist. Don't worry, I think she's in a pretty good mood.))

[Stephine Nelson]

Stephine frowned at Dameon he wasn't the same brother that he once was. Stephine eyes ten started to water abit but she turned away from Dameon and Dove abd quickily wiped them "Alright well hve a Merry Christmas." Stephine said not smiling at all.

[Dovesary Aemeson]

Dove turned quickly, at the sound of a voice in her ear. She spun on her heel, knife in her hand in a flash. "And you are?" she asked icily. Then she recognized the voice. "Kira! Oh my god, is that you? Wow. So what are you doing here?"

[Kira]

"They made me an offer I couldn't refuse," Kira replied simply. "Nice warm building, good music, all you can eat..." She gestured to the students, licking her lips hungrily. Hazel eyes studied Dove's face carefully, waiting to see what kind of reaction she would get.

"Though I think their idea of all you can eat is a bit different than mine," she added with a sigh of mock-disappointment.

"And you," she continued shortly. "Look at you, all dressed up. You clean up pretty nice, girly."

[Kevin Lupin Phoenis]

Kevin held Sarah close, waiting for hte dance to start, when Dove came up to them, followed closely by a tall, slytherin boy. There was some familiar about him, but he couldn't place it. He reminded him of someone he knew. Shaking his head, he smiled at Dove.

"Wow, Dove, you look beautiful, tonight." he turned back to the boy, and let his curiosity get the best of him. "I'm sorry, there something familiar about you, do I know you?"

He then noticed Dameon, as well as Dove and the rest, and they all walked over, while Dameon began to leave. While Dove stopped him, Kevin took that time to admire his sister as well. "See Claire? I told you you belong inthe dress and at the Ball. Was I wrong, sis?"

Finally it was Kevin's turn to face Dameon. He dropped his hands from Sarah and clamped one on his sholder, looking him stright in the eye.

"Dameon, I know you thinking about the same things I am. The past events. But man, guess what? It's Christmas. All things forgotten. So, come and stay, and... well... Merry Christmas, Dameon. And same to you Crypto." he said smiling, and then change to a rather joking manner, pulling out his wand. "Though Dameon, don't tell me you didn't get yourself a set of dress robes, and I think you and Crypto need to be dressed for the occasion."
