Valentine's Day Ball!

[Tobias]

Tobias smiled and went to get them, as he passed Amelia and Kage and smiled and gave a thumbs up. He met up with pyro again and handed her the butterbeer. "Here hunny." he toke a sip of his and smiled at her

[Chris Wells]

*Chris felt his hand get squeezed and he smiled knowing that the area was now filling up.

He spoke quietly to the DJ with Elorra hanging on his side. Finally he pointed to a song and nodded.

He made his way with Elorra back to the dance floor.

The previous song ended and immediately another one kicked in. It wasnt the one he had chosen but it would be coming soon.*

[Kage]

Kage leant in, returning the kiss with unequivocal passion, setting the chocolates aside as he wrapped his lover in his arms.

[Pyro]

Pyro continued looking around at all the cute couples dancing and chatting the night away as Tobias came back. She smiled at him and grabbed the cup and took a sip. "Thanks babe."

[Tobias]

Tobias smiled at her "It was not a problem." he stroked her arm softly to show his affection for her. "Just remember need anything and i am here." he looked about the hall then back to her "tell me if you wanna dance again."

[Marina Roeswood]

Marina, she'd admit, felt just the tiniest bit jealous of all the couples. She wasn't about to let that spoil her image, however, and kept a remarkably untainted smile as she waited for a familiar face to arrive.

When Hikalyn entered the dance, Nina exhaled an almost audible sigh of relief and a grin stretched across her face. She was honestly a bit taken aback, at first, because she just wasn't accustomed to seeing Kalyn so made up. Of course, the same could be said about herself.

"Hullo," Nina greeted, brushing back an errant curl and crossing her arms across her chest, as if to disguise the fact that she was dressed up to the nines for absolutely no reason. It was a comfort, and a sad one at that, that her friend seemed to be roughly in the same boat.

"You look fantastic," she commented with a soft smile, not in the least bit sarcastic. Kalyn was beautiful. She felt a little like glass next to a diamond: just a little outshone. "How have you been? We haven't spoken in ages, it seems..."

[Natski]

Riana continued to watch the couples and other people, feeling as if she was left out. Not knowing people was difficult, but she was too shy to walk up to them and introduce herself to them.

[Elorra]

Elorra laughed as she and Chris made their way onto the dance floor, spotting her step sister on the way

"HEY RIANA!" called Elorra waving to her step-sister and then started dancing with Chris.

While dancing Elorra lent forward and gave Chris a kiss

"Love you" said Elorra with a smile

[K~Bear]

Kasey walked through the castle holding her dress up slightly so she didn't accidently stand on. She was heading to the Dance Hall, which is where everyboady seemed to be heading for the Valentines Day Ball. She had no idea why she was going, because she was without a partner, but the Nurse loved getting dressed up, so this was an oppertuneity she wasnt going to let pass.

Soon she found herself standing in the doorway to the Dance Hall. She wore a long red silk dress, with straps that wrapped themselves over her shoulders, it came down in a deep sharp v-cut in the front hugging her figure nicely, it flowed just over the top of her feet just hiding her matching red shoes from sight. Her long golden blonde hair was done in two braids on the side of her head with two glittering bobby pins to decorate and tendrils of hair that sat at the sides of her face had been feathered softy around it (exsactly like the girls hair in Tobias and Pyro's sig).

She let a small smile creep on to her red painted lips as she stepped further into the hall. She spotted Riana standing off to the side and walked over to stand next to her.
"Is this the singles spot?" she asked with a smile to her friend as she gently lent her back against the wall.

[†Amelia†]

As Amelia continued to get into her kiss with Kage, she slowly pulled him towards the center of the dance floor.

The next song was an oldie...one she knew the words to but could never remember the title of. As she swayed her hips she gently caressed Kage's face with her finger tips as their lips continued to be entwined.

[Natski]

Riana smiled when her step-sister greeted her, but it soon left her when she saw her start to dance with Chris.
She stood there for a while, until she heared a familer voice beside her. She turned her head to see her good friend and fellow Hufflepuff. "Yeah it is" she said, then watching everyone again. "I'd kill to have someone by my side and hold me... whisper in my ear those sweet 3 little words" said Riana, then sighing.

[Hikalyn Sarello]

Hikalyn turned at the sound of a familiar voice, more than a little glad to hear it. While you couldn't have called the expression on her face before Marina's voice reached her ears cold, it certainly seemed so in contrast to the warm smile that lit up her features now. "Thank you," she replied in answer to her friend's compliment, after she'd blinked away the surprise of hearing it directed at her. It was something that she wasn't at all used to hearing. "And you," she added to her friend with a grin, "you look gorgeous." Despite the sincerity in her tone--Marina really did look wonderful--she felt almost as awkward handing out such compliments as she did receiving them.

"Yeah, it really has been a while, hasn't it?" she agreed, glad enough to move onto a more normal line of conversation. "Oh, I've been alright," she continued lightly with a little shrug of her shoulders. "Haven't been doing much, really, but I suppose that's not all bad." Her words came out a trifle rueful.

"And yourself?" she asked, her eyes travelling out over the slowly growing number of people gathering in the Dance Hall, before returning to her friend's face. "What have you been up to?"

[Kage]

Kage sensed the movement, but frankly, he was too wrapped up in his lover's embrace to care. He swayed with the music, his arms entwined about Amelia's waist, his lips never leaving hers.

[Marina Roeswood]

Marina smiled a blushed mightily, hiding her face. She wasn't used to be complimented- hell, for a long while in her life nothing had been good enough. She had learned to understand her own self-worth, and she had learned to like herself just a little bit. It was still difficult to hear this verified by other people, especially those that at one time or another she had been friends with.

Were they even friends now?

"I don't think a little rest for the weary ever hurt anyone," Nina stated, shrugging her shoulders and taking a deep breath. Her green eyes glanced around the scenery a couple times before they bounced back to Kalyn, as if she'd only just noticed that she'd been asked a question in response.

"Oh, I haven't really been up to much. I've just been existing I suppose." Marina hung her head just slightly, looking slightly ashamed. She's missed the game. If she'd been there, they might have had a chance...

"You know, like missing practice and games and slacking off in class..." Nina had at one time been such a sweet and amiable person. Now, she was jaded and careless. It really wasn't a positive change. She wondered dully if anyone had even noticed except for her and let her emerald eyes stare at the floor absently.

[K~Bear]

Kasey smiled to Riana and nodded slowly.
"I would to, but it is my own falut that I don't" she the corner of her lips pulling up into a regretful smile
"But if I did have a partner, I wouldn't be able to keep you company" Kasey said turning her head and smiling at Riana
"But hey who needs a guy to enjoy this, we just need to wait for a more upbeat song to come on, drink a few glasses of punch and we will be the life of the party. Total sugar rush" she said with a grin and a chuckle.
