"Hey, Jules," Jeremy said, smiling. He stood up and went over to kiss her hand. "You look gorgeous. But I think this is my cue... I'd better go pick up Alenna. She'll kill me if I leave her standing around waiting for me. I'll see you guys down there later, OK?" He straightened his dress robes one last time, then he was out the door and on the way to the Ravenclaw common room. His knees were knocking the whole time, but he tried not to let it show. "Good luck," Julia waved as Jeremy sped off to pick up Alenna. "They're cute aren't they?" she asked, leaning against the doorframe. "It's not like we're short on time, i'm not rushing you if you're not ready," Julia told Nolan. |

She laughed right along with him. She didn't feel as if she were growing up, well part of her felt older than any other child her age, but the fact was she longed for a childhood. The man in front of her, along with her brother, saw that she had one, and for that she loved them both very dearly. "I'm so glad you came." she said brightly. Vic grinned brightly. "I'm glad that you're glad," he said. "So how have you been Lyla," Vic asked. "I haven't heard from you in a while. School is well?" |

Severus opened the doors of the Grand ball room, It was with a little too much of a push or too much of a flourish and they both opened wider than they really needed to be open. He felt like he was caught doing something wrong, standing there with Natalie's hand in his in the middle of the wide doors looking into the large ballroom. Standing awkwardly for a moment he cleared his throat and turned to Natalie. "Shall we?" a small smile playing on his lips, hiding to most everyone else that he was nervous. He felt the flutter of pride and happiness in his chest and his smile quirked a bit higher. He was happy to have Natalie as his 'date', proud of the fact that she liked him and thrilled to be in a ball where he thought he would never go with anyone. The decor was beautiful, like a palace made of ice. Even Natalie couldn't help but be impressed by it. The music hadn't started yet, and Natalie wasn't quite what to do, if not dance. "Everyone looks very nice," she commented idly. "I'm glad to be here with you, I'm sure I'd be terrified if you weren't with me." Severus thought it best to be honest; he knew she would know anyway. "I'm a little terrified and you're with me, if you weren't here, I don't think breathing would be so easy." He felt a little of the terror at being in a room full of people ease, knowing Natalie was there made it all the more comfortable. He had thought he would never get over the idea of large amounts of people, or peers, daunting; Natalie made it seem so very possible. The room was very elegant; it made winter seem romantic rather than bleak and possibly dangerous. Glittering and clear the room shown with lights in just the right places to make it seem a palace fit for royalty, rather than a bunch of bratty children and teens that felt they earned the right to a party. “I think this might suit you” he paused as he walked her into the room further looking for a place where they could sit, “but you are more like spring time.” He meant what he said, she had more promise in her than a cold and lovely winter. |

She nodded yes to him, though she knew that he probably heard reports from her brother over her well being. She wouldn't trade their caring for her for the whole wide world. "Yes. I'm even picking up in Potions...perhaps the professor will notice me..." she said wistfully. It was no secret to her that Professor Slughorn had a secret club, and while she didn't really care to be in something exclusive, she wanted to impress her father so badly.

"Good for you," Vic said. He knew she was having a little trouble in Potions, and he would have been glad to help her, but he was dismal in the class and his attempt to help would have made it worse.

Amandine's favorite color was blue. And thats what she had chosen, a deep royal blue, for her dress that night. It was a shorter dreww, only going to her knees, and her usually straight blonde hair was in soft curls. "Okay, I'm ready," she said to herself before leaving the dormatory to meet Dillon. She was glad Jamie hadn't scared the poor boy off. Dillon wore dark blue dress robes to match the light blue undershirt he wore. He finished tying his shoes and ran hand through his hair. He realized he was running late and hurried off to the ball. He didn't want to let Amandine stand there waiting on him for long. He saw her in the crowds of people and walked over to meet her. "Sorry I know I am a little late," he said with a slight smirk on his face. "What's going on," he asked. |

"It's alright," Ama said when she saw Dillon arive. "I was beginning to think Jamie had scared you off though. He's rather over protective sometimes." She rolled her eyes but smiled all the same. "How've you been?"

Dillon allowed a slight laugh. "Don't worry about Jamie, I have had to deal with a lot of guys like him. Ether he will come around or he will hate me forever," he said with a slight shrug. "But scare me no, not at all. I guess thats how brothers are supposed to act though, now isn't it," he said with a nod.
"I have been quite well though, thanks for asking. How about you. how are you." he asked trying to return the same common courtesies.

"He'll come around," Ama assured Dillon. "He's just not used to the fact that I'm not 8 anymore." she sighed.
"I'm doing well," Ama said. "I just got home, I saw my whole family for Christmas," she grinned. "It was, interesting to say the least."

"Hey, Jules," Jeremy said, smiling. He stood up and went over to kiss her hand. "You look gorgeous. But I think this is my cue... I'd better go pick up Alenna. She'll kill me if I leave her standing around waiting for me. I'll see you guys down there later, OK?" He straightened his dress robes one last time, then he was out the door and on the way to the Ravenclaw common room. His knees were knocking the whole time, but he tried not to let it show. Alenna tugged on a random curl in her hair as she waited outside the Ravenclaw common room. She had taken her time getting dressed, smiling at her reflection when she was done. A baby blue dress hung down to the floor, swaying around her feet. She felt pretty, which was fun, but nothing would ever beat the day she and Jeremy were covered in mud the other afternoon. Alenna saw him comming toward the common room and smiled. "Well don't you look dashing," she smiled and walked toward him. She leaned in and kissed him gently. "Happy new Year." Just the sight of her made his breath catch in his throat. For a minute after she kissed him, he couldn't speak, but the smile on his face spoke volumes. "You look amazing," he whispered, his hand reaching for hers. "I'm going to be the luckiest guy there." He felt like he was floating a few feet above the ground as he led her down the hall. |

Alenna blushed. She never really saw herself as a gorgeous girl, but with Jeremy around, she felt more beautiful than ever. "And I'll be the luckiest girl," Alenna replied. She took Jeremy's hand and the two headed toward the ball.
"How are Nolan and Julia? She rush you two out the door?" Alenna laughed.

Sophia had never felt so pretty in her life. She had written home immediately telling her mother and father that she had a date to the dance and her mama went immediately into planning and getting Sophia ready. It reminded her of the old days when she herself had attended Yule balls, and indeed had been quite popular.
That was all in the past however...before she met her husband and fell in love and "threw away" everything that society deemed important, all for love. She didn't regret her decision for a moment.
Sophia had heard the story many times and she always marveled at her parents and the love they shared, she wanted the same thing for herself one day. She used to think it was impossible but now...who knew?

Emmeline held up her dress as she speed walked down the hall. She and Rori had accidently spent a little too much time having girl talk in the dorm, so now she was a tad bit late meeting Sirius, which only added to the butterflies that were swirling in her stomach. To say that she was nervous was an understatement. As she approached the spot where they were supposed to meet, she could hear other students voices too, so she slowed her pace and checked herself in her compact.
The make-up she did wear was subtle. She did it naturally just to highlight her natural features. Her hair was in a low pony-tail pulled to the side and her dress was a cerulean blue. She looked at her feet. She was wearing her black and white converse under her dress. Sh smiled a little. She may be a girly-girl, but she had never been able to wear heels. She was decent. Emmeline turned the corner and smiled. She waved to Sirius and approached him hoping he wasn't to upset with her.

Sirius was leaning against the wall, his arms folded over his chest and his legs crossed at the ankles. He looked as though he was entirely too cool to be where he was at that moment, and if he had been an adult, he probably would have been smoking a cigarette. Instead, he was chewing on a piece of Drooble's Best Blowing Gum, and as Emme approached, he blew a large bubble, and then popped it with his finger.
"Hey, Emme," he said, breaking into a smile. He stepped away from the wall and moved over to take her hand. "You look great."
He looked pretty good himself, despite the chewing gum. His long dark hair was pulled back in a low ponytail that somehow managed to look both casual and elegant at once. He was dressed in shiny black dress robes with a little green crest over his heart. Of course, he had tried to remove the crest, which was the Black family crest, but his mother must have had it sewed on with a permanent sticking charm. He couldn't even magically replace it with a Gryffindor crest. Like the rest of the Marauders, he had chosen to forego the tie.
"You ready to make our grand entrance?"

"You look very handsome." Emmeline gave him a bright smile as she took his hand. He did look dashing. Actually, more than dashing. It was intimidating how mature and handsome he was. She had a sinking feeling that she was going to be fighting girls away instead of him fighting guys away. She was also secretly happy that she didn't wear her heels, because she would've been one or two inches taller than him and that would've been awkward.
"Yes, I think I'm ready to bring the party to the ball." She smiled and squeezed his hand slightly. Their hands fit nicely together. Emmeline cleared her throat a little which helped clear her mind. They were only friends, so she couldn't think things like that.

Like Sheena, Axel was also avoiding family, namely Noah, on his way out the door. His mum had sent him a pair of dress robes last week and he had to admit, he didn't look that bad, better than he had at Christmas anyhow.
He had asked Vanessa to the ball, after enjoying their evening up on the astronomy tower, Axel had enjoyed the company of his new friend. He wasn't nervous like he knew a lot of other kids were. To Axel it would be like another fun evening with his friend Vanessa, the two kids in the wrong houses.

Post by Vanessa Reyes Vonderheide on Jul 16, 2009 2:23:52 GMT -5
Vanessa walked out of the common room nervously in her red dress. It clung to her beautifully and reached the floor. It was a bare back dress that held together by golden stays and fitted her waist like a corset would. Her golden-blonde hair hung around her in wavy ringlets. Her eyes were shadowed with a golden sparkle and danced like beautiful sea-blue waves. Her smile was bright but held in a nervous expression.
She walked to the Entrance Hall where she was to meet with Axel, whom she found herself liking more and more. She took a deep breath and walked up to him.
"Hey Axel. You look great." She said shyly, as she usually was. She entwined her fingers and tried to calm her nerves.

Axel did all he could to keep his jaw from dropping. "Vanessa, you're beautiful," Axel said. He remembered Noah telling him once that the only woman in the world Axel should consider beautiful was his mother; and though, yes, Emilia was one of the most beautiful people Axel knew, it was a sad beautiful, and paled in comparasion to his date for the evening.
"Are you ready," Axel asked, offering his arm to her.

Vanessa blushed and smiled sweetly. "Thank you Axel." She took his arm and walked with him. "So, just curious....what will your brother say when you walk in with a Gryffindor girl on your arm?" She asked with a raised eyebrow and played with her hair.

"Good Godric I hope he'll be stunned to silence," Axel said. THERE were the nerves he couldn't find earlier. "But if he's rude to you at all, I'll take care of it," Axel said, wondering just what he meant but 'i'll take care of it.' "Me on the other hand, he;s rude to me all the time. So that doesn't bother me...as much." Axel grinned toward Vanessa.
"But lets cross that bridge when we get there, yea?" Axel added. They walked into the hall, which was magnificantly decorated for the occasion, and Axel smiled. You couldn't really tell who was in which house, everyone was in different colors. He leaned closer to Vanessa and whispered. "Just two house-confused kids, looking for a good time," he smirked.
