`` VALENTINES BALL !?

[hermionemalfoy]

hermione really needed to stop with these grand balls, all she ever did was spend several hours decorating the great hall, receive a bunch of compliments on how amazing it looked, and then remove the enchantments. basically, they were pointless. why should that stop her? there were many pointless things in life, but if it meant everyone had a good time, did it really do any harm? she'd decide on that later. for now, she had a valentines ball to reveal to the students and staff.

a thin layer or pale pink smoke covered the floor, and small circular tables with red tableclothes and heart-shaped confetti lined the sides of the hall. the staff table was laden with snacks and drinks, ranging from jam tarts with hearts on top to cupid-shaped cookies. of course, there were some ordinary party food favourites like sausage rolls and cocktail sausages as well. small glowing pink spheres had replaced the candles, and hermione was satisfied. it wasn't as grand as the christmas ball had been, but there wasn't quite as much to do when it came to valentine's day. pushing upon the doors of the hall, the ball officially began.

Kamil stepped into the ball room, moments after the doors opened. He came just because he could, and the best thigns ssem to happen at stuff like this, and he wasn't missing out on it, he just couldn't bare to miss something from the gossip circle.

He went straight to the table and popped a tart in his mouth.damn...I am going to be fat by the end of the night.. He thought to himself enjoying the sweet taste in his mouth, it was good, really really good. He went toward the Headmistress smiling. "This is very nice Headmistress." He complimented, he was a kiss up when it came to teachers and such, so of course he was going to be a gentleman.

[kaleb]

Kaleb was nervous. And that didn’t happen very often! It was Valentines day, and he was just as confused about who he had feelings for as before. At least now he knew that he hated Zane for what he did to Kaleb and to Vicky. But then there still was the mix up with Kamil, and then the admiration for Vicky, that he wasn’t sure didn’t include something else too. So he was torn. And then there was the fact that there was the valentines day ball, and there was the possibility that Shames could be there. He didn’t want to break down in the middle of the hall and have everyone stare at him. That would add insult to injury! He couldn’t believe that he’d fell for the whole trap, and he hated himself a little for doing that. But he didn’t really regret it, because otherwise he probably wouldn’t be close with Vicky or Kai again, and he would hate that.

Pulling on his jeans and his dark shirt, he checked himself in the mirror, and ran his hand through his hair. He tied his tie properly around his neck, and then slipped into his converse. Making sure he was ready, he headed out of the common room and up the stairs to the hall. He paused in the entrance hall and took some deep breaths to calm down. He was Kaleb Garcia, and he could kick ass. No one would know a thing. Just some of the staff. He’d also planned to go and talk to the head, and he decided that he may as well do that now. Carpe Diem and all that. He pushed the door to the great hall open and scanned the room. He didn’t really notice the decorations, or anyone else as a matter of fact, because his eyes settled on the headmistress. He strolled up to her and ran his hand through his hair. ”Mrs, I need to talk to you. I think you know who it’s about”

[/color] He gave her the meaningful look. He wanted to know what was being done about Shames, as he didn’t want anyone else hurt by Zane.

victoria had spent a great deal of time thinking about exactly what she was going to wear, though the end result didn't appear to reflect that. even so, it was amazing what a dress, a pair of shoes, some lip gloss and a few hair slides could do. after making herself look absolutely stunning, she stepped away from the mirror in her dormitory and made her way from the seventh floor down to the great hall. it was quite frustrating for her to have to go such a long difference and have so many people see her before getting to the ball. she was the type of girl that liked to walk in looking like a princess and amaze everyone. that didn't work if people saw you beforehand.

anyway, there were still quite a few people there, including kaleb. there was no sign of zane anywhere, which vicky was very pleased about. the hall looked great, and so did the headmistress. it was then that she noticed kaleb was approaching her, and remember having suggested to him that they speak to her during the ball. vicky made her way over to them, and stopped beside kaleb. she gave him a small smile, before looking back at the headmistress.

So just one little question....

[/font][/center]

Chris hadnt been one of the pupils that had been waiting outside the ball, he had been up in the Slytherin Common room checking himself out in the mirror, he had decided that seeing as it was the valentines he would wear some red, even though being a slytherin it was just a no go but strangely he kind of liked the way it looked on him. He smirked to himself in the mirror saying "You sexeh thang" then laughing as he headed out of the common room and up to the great hall where he was expecting to be wowed by the amazing decorations because he knew the Headmistress was a show off.

When he got there the doors were already opend but he figured they hadnt been open for long as people were still going in. He put on his usual smirk and headed in and as h had predicted suddenly found himself looking around the room which to be honest was pretty romantic. He admired the pinkish mist that covered the floor then looked around for someone to talk to.. or annoy.. or both. He couldnt see Annie yet so he headed over to the group of pupils that always surrounded the Headmistress giving her compliments on how she looks and how the hall looked ad just generally sucking up. He had to admit though that all of the girls were looking kind of hot.. including the Headmistress.. but he had to mentally slap himself for that. Without a word he just lurked listening in on what everyone was saying.

Oops, do you love me
Hmm, do you love me baby

Annie pushed the book she'd been reading away from her and checked her watch. She was sure that the ball must have started by now! She couldn't wait to go and see all the decorations. Okay, so they were probably really cheesy and she'd never admit to liking them, but still, they were probably really pretty! She knew that Hermione took a long time to decorate these balls. She pulled off her jeans and her white top, and stepped into her white dress. Zipping it up, she admired herself in the mirror. She slipped her feet into her red shoes, which reminded her of the ruby slippers from the Wizard of oz. They had a cute little bow on them too! And then she added the finishing touches. She tied The locket from Theo around her neck, and put the bracelet from Chris on her wrist. Before she left, she dragged a brush through her bright hair, and then twirled in the mirror, to make sure she looked good. She headed down the dormitory steps, and out into the hallway. making her way down all those flights of stairs, she finally reached the entrance hall. She pushed the doors open and stepped into what could only be described as love gone wild. There was pink mist covering the floor, and pink heart confetti everywhere. She'd probably end up finding that stuff in her shoes later!

Annie marvelled at the room, and she had to admit that it did look amazing! Mrs Malfoy had managed not to make it look tacky, which was always a good thing! She walked over to the snacks and drinks table to get herself a drink, and then glanced around till she spotted Chris. She met his eyes, and waved a little, before taking a sip of her drink, and then walking over. She'd never been to a valentines ball and actually had a valentine to go with, so this was a first and she was determined to put aside her skeptacism and enjoy it. "Hey there, You look awesome!"

[/color] She said, gesturing to his clothes. He looked pretty smart. "No leather, I see!"[/color] She joked, laughing a little. [/color][/size][/blockquote]

ONE LAST THING HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!

[n]

just like raindrops

you feel so good upon my lips

Valentines had never been a big event for AJ. She wasn't like Matilda, her Slytherin friend, who was freaking out because this was the first Valentine's she'd been single since she was five ("Five? Who did you date when you were five?!" , "Well, my cousin visited for the weekend and he gave me a conversation heart that said 'Be Mine'." , "Oh..." , "Shut up, it counts!").

Anyway, Mattie was determined not to leave the ball without a new boyfriend, so that meant she was going to dress up. Which meant that AJ had to dress up. And although AJ didn't approve of the reason to dress up, that didn't mean she was opposed to the overall idea. After all, AJ was a fashionista in training, so dress shopping was actually pretty fun. Mattie showed up in a little black number, and next to her was AJ, dressed in something more fitting for the occasion.

Her legs went on for miles beneath the little Illusion dress, and the bust actually made it look like she had boobs (something that never happened!). Ah, the trials of being a teenage girl. She'd decided to leave her purse of cosmetics behind, as well as her wand, because this was a social gathering and she didn't want to anticipate any fights breaking out. Besides, there were always teachers around for supervision purposes; they'd be able to handle anything that went awry tonight.

She pushed her hair over her shoulders and clicked forward in her red and black lace heels. Mattie was twittering like a nervous hummingbird at her elbow, and AJ couldn't help but laugh at the anxious girl.

"Relax, Mat," AJ breathed in her most convincing, soothing voice, "Boys aren't attracted to bumbling bimbos. Just be cool." Hey, it sounded like she knew what she was talking about. Ms AJ Ambercrombie who never had a boyfriend. Never been kissed. Her friends knew this, but despite her lack of expertise, Matilda seemed to take her advise and calm down a notch. She gave her friend a smile.

A couple moments later, the two girls broke up, Mattie's logic being that boys would be more likely to approach her if she was alone. AJ hoped it worked as she went her own way. There seemed to be a crowd of people around the Headmistress, so she avoided that general area. If the Headmistress walked by, AJ would give a polite hello to her idol, but if not, there was the entire school year to look forward to bumping into the genius witch. So she headed toward the food and plucked one of the tarts off the platter.

notes + Matilda is an NPC. :/ have no idea what to do with her, just needed an excuse for AJ to come to the ball, haha!

So just one little question....

[/font][/center]

Chris couldnt realy make out what anyone was saying so went back to watching the door of the great hall and as if on que Annie walked in. Chris smiled she looked good, every girl here did but Chris was trying hard not to check them out. "Hey, thanks.. i scrub u good i guess" he said with a smirk, he did usualy dress like he couldnt be bothered with detail which was because it was true, he could never be bothered with the details, he just wore shirts and jeans.. which he was doing now but it kind of looked neater then usual.

"Yeah im saving the leather for a secial occasion" Chris joked then smirked and said "wait a minuite" he then lent around Annie and watched the great Hall door as a few girls walked in "nice.." he commented then looked back at annie with a smirk and a shrug "Old Habbits are hard to change" he joked. Chris had looked at the girls though.. but obviously that was just for more effect on the joke.. probably.

Annie's eyes flickered around the hall, everyone looked so pretty! All the girls dresses were really nice! Vicky's was very pretty, and she smiled as she saw she was supporting red, their house colour. She'd have to go and say hi to Vicky later on or something. They weren't really close, she didn't know why, but they shared a house, and were both beaters, so she decided that going to talk to her would be a nice gesture, as she didn't see why they couldn't be friends. She seemed a nice enough girl anyway. Annie chuckled at the comment he made. "My my, I guess you do! Who'd have thought it?"

[/color] Annie joked, winking at him. She would have thought it, as she thought he always looked really good anyway! Although she was slightly biased, after all, they were dating!

Annie laughed at the leather comment. "Well I can't wait for one of those!"[/color] She said with another burst of laughter. Annie frowned when she wondered what he was doing. She turned her head and saw some girls walk in. Typical! She smirked, deciding two could play at that game. Her gaze scanned the room, he had to be in here! And of course, she found him right where she'd first been looking, next to Vicky. She cocked her head to the side and stared at him, a smile on her lips. "Yum! Tell me about it!"[/color] She said, still keeping her eyes on Kaleb, and answering in a sort of out of it voice, in reply to his 'nice' comment. She had to admit that even though she hated Kaleb Garcia, he was very good looking! There was a reason that he got all those girls, and it looked like he'd scored Vicky in the past too, the way that he wrapped his arm around her waist. Or was he just buttering her up for the night? Whatever, she wasn't going to tell Vicky what to do, she was a big girl. She looked back at Chris, then back at Kaleb for a second, then put her eyes back on Chris' face again. "Oops, sorry. Couldn't help it"[/color] She shrugged, as he couldn't say anything otherwise he'd be a hypocrite!

ONE LAST THING HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!

[hanariyo]

To be honest, Anemone had not planned to go to the Valentines Day ball. And why should she? She had no date and although some of her friends were going with each other, she'd much prefer a quiet evening to herself. She had been really calm when her friends left in a flutter of skirts and perfume. She had been really calm, honest. But as soon as they had left and quiet had taken over their dorm, she began to get restless.

After a few minutes of opening up various books and skimming a paragraph or two before losing focus and moving on to another book, Anemone finally threw in the towel. There was no way she could possibly focus on her work or studying when she was like this. With a wave of her wand, her closet opened and she got dressed. Black, black, black, gold and red. Oooh, how naughty she felt, betraying her own house and donning Gryffindor colors. But honestly, it wasn't her fault she wore red and gold so well!

With a mischievous smirk tugging on her lips, she entered the great hall. Around her ankles was a swirling pink mist and all around her were chatting students. Walking around, she greeted several acquaintances and friends before settling by the food table, alone. The people she had come across were friendly enough but were not her usual circle of friends. She shouldn't have come.

It was after a few minutes by the table (alone, mind you) did Anemone begin to wonder why she was here in the first place. The excitement, the enthusiasm that had brought her to the ball had left her. But she couldn't possibly return to the common room less than thirty minutes after she left. It was ridiculous. Scowling quietly, she turned back to the table to grab one more sausage.
