Default Grand Ballroom


This is where a large bulk of the school's events are held. This is the widest room in the entire castle, fitted on three sides with wall windows and silk curtains. On an average day, the room is bare save for the grand piano that sits in the centre. This is moved off to the corner during special occasions. The floors are tiled and have anti slipping charms to prevent accidents on its exceptionally clean surface.

Dance lessons are held here periodically, regardless of upcoming events. This is another quiet space within the school, usually empty and usually undisturbed. Should you need a moment alone or a bit more silence for your concentration with the school now being twice its usual capacity, it might not be such a bad idea.

Eating in this room, outside of special occasions, is strictly prohibited. Dueling, fighting or any other form of behaviour that can result in destruction or chaos is also strictly prohibited.

Cecelia was swaying a bit, feeling quite fancy in her dress and VERY ready to take it for a spin on the ballroom floor. Thing WAS, they were starting already and she STILL didn't have a partner. She WOULD'VE asked her friend Kaiser, but the puppy dog eyed older boy was already taken, and that left her looking around for another option. Hmm..

Spotting another first year, a Ravenclaw boy she'd had classes with, the small blonde headed over and nudged him gently. "Partners, okay?" That really was the best choice, since they'd be expected to start dancing at any moment.

Watching Headmaster Trent and Professor Sissay, Cece mirrored the woman's position, trying to get a feel for the stance. Seemed a bit TOO stiff to her, but she supposed that's how the dance was MEANT to be.

DANCE PARTNER! R e a l l y!

"Perfect," she replied eagerly, already imagining how awkward and hilarious this would be. "I promise not to step on your shoes too much," she started to offer, when along came.... Claudine.... who wanted to sneak out to the rose garden instead of this?!

Well, that did sound more fun than dancing, but Bernie had just gotten all dolled up for this practice thingy! Bernie grinned at her friend but then turned back to Blake, then back to her friend, and back to him. Hmmmmm. She knew the headmaster had JUST SAID not to do this, but was he really watching these firsties over here? No way.

"Sure, Blake, I'll be your partner," Bernadette answered finally, grabbing his wrist AND Claudine's all of a sudden, and lifting them up in the air dramatically, "We'll ALL be partners." They'd be the THREE MUSKETEERS, as they did say in France. "We'll take turns dancing with each other," she reassured Claudine, quickly letting go of their wrists as she remembered how the other girl hadn't liked linking arms earlier. "You two can dance together first."

She how nice and generous she was, setting her unwilling friends up like this? Bernie was such a good person.

"Ugh ... did the Headmaster says 2s?" He asked, trying his best to get out of it, he may have asked Claudine if she had been there first, it wasn't about one over the other ... it was about the closest person to him that he recognized. "I mean ... do we really need more trouble?" He added slyly, doing his best to not bring up to previous incident of the apples.

But then he was shoved/pulled into Claudine smashing his face against her shoulder. "Owwwwwwwww" He cried out grabbing his nose ..... he was afraid there was going to be blood.


They’d all be partners?

Claudine could live with that, she supposed. It was mainly the physical contact that they would be making that worried her. She didn’t think many knew she hated contact, including Bernie. Which was why the Snakette flinched slightly when she was grabbed. She tried to look unconcerned when it was over and nodded at her partners. “We can work this out, I guess.’’

Then Claudine was rolling her eyes at Blake. “Don’t be such a baby. They’re not going to throw us in detention for being a trio.” Must he always be like this? And dramatic too? She stared at him and his nose. “What’s wrong now?’’ Had he hurt his nose? She looked helplessly at Bernie.

And… the Headmaster was getting started. But not before telling them off about the whole partner thing. “Or Blake could find someone else,’’ she muttered. Technically, Claudine wasn’t about everyone touching her and well, Bernie already had grabbed her wrist and hand earlier so she could live with that. Plus, Bernie was the only fellow Hogwartian she kind of trusted.

Right now, she was just rooted on the spot, watching Trent and Sissay show the moves.

All that contact... couldn't they have been learning no-contact moves?

Ho, ho, ho.

He cracked himself up. TRULY. Iconic.

Finneas watched as the students waddled around like headless chickens in search of a dance partner. Because the first thing a headless chicken needed was a dance partner, of course. Stop reading inbetween the lines, it's rude! ANYWAY, anyway, anyway. There seemed to be an issue going on over yonder with a gaggle of first years and Finneas was here to help, after all.

So he bumbled his way over to the trifecta, and offered them the most awkward of smiles. "Eerrr," hello, greetings earthlings. "Perhaps I can be of assistance." Which one of them wanted to be HIS partner?

Of course it would be slightly inconvenient. Finneas was a tall, noodly man and they were...... well, eleven. "Which one of you needs a partner?"

There was a first year boy without a partner, but no offense, even if it was just for a lesson, she didn't particularly want to dance with a first year. Even if he was the best dancer in his year (she had no idea about).

Fretting, she just busied her attention on Sissay and Trent, watching their movements. The hips. The feet. How memorizing. Wow.
This was awkward. Cole had offered himself up to be someone’s partner, but nobody had taken him up on it, nobody had even looked in his direction and now he still stood off by the wall alone. He had hoped one of the senior girl’s would have asked but nope, they all got snatched up pretty quickly. It left Cole with a few select choices as Headmaster Trent started to demonstrate the waltz with Professor Sissay. The steps didn’t look so hard to manage and memorize, but keeping up the count that was another story.

Spotting his cousins still partner less Cole headed over to them and asked with a pleading look in his eyes. ”Carsyn, Carys can we be partners? Maybe we can take turns? I promise to do my best to not step of either of you’re toes too much.” He had some dancing skills but he hadn’t danced in yearssssssss.

Claudine needed a partner.

But did she really?

And just whom was asking?

She looked around, expecting a student as she hadn’t registered the voice. Instead, she found herself looking at the torso of an adult. She tilted her head back to look into the face of Mr. Awkward. Schmoe.

“Hi, Professor.’’ Claudine hesitated. “Er. Um... ‘’ Cue glance at Bernie and Blake then back to Schmoe. “I’ll take you up on that offer.’’ She’d try to be okay with all the contact. “Um, how do we get started?’’ The Snakette was looking rather helpless and lost right now.

Help, Professor!

He would hold their hands as long as he could. "Find another partner if you're leaving those two to dance. If not, Blaze will have to find someone else. There are plenty of available students."

Speaking of, were they quite done angsting and pretending their fellow schoolmates were afflicted with the plague yet? How long did it take to grab a partner?

"Everyone, we'll be beginning. I'll take it slowly at first, explaining as I go along. Try to follow the steps as carefully as possible. Ayana, if you don't mind." He...wasn't sure how much she'd mind, but it wouldn't do to teach the students using De Nostredame. The Headmaster could only imagine how discouraged some would be if their steps didn't add up.

And Schmoe was...Schmoe.

"You'll first have to decide who will lead. Typically, the male leads, but I'll leave that up to you." And hope Desmarais wasn't watching their every move at the ball. Without waiting for the man's consent "There are six steps. You can count them out at first while you're still getting the hang of it."

At that, the man conjured a magical board. On the board where a pair of footprints that moved magically to demonstrate the steps needed appeared. "We'll go without music first. I'll be counting."

Malachi extended his hand to the Arithmancy Professor so they could begin. "And one two three...four five six...one two three...four five six ...back left front right...back left front right."


OOC: The practice has begun! There's a link to the steps for a waltz and a video as well should you need help visualizing. Feel free to have your charries be masters or absolutely horrendous at it. You don't have to wait on Trent or Sissay, just imagine they've begun dancing already and have your charries follow...or try to if they aren't the best lol. The professors are available in case you can't find a partner <3

Okay, MORE trouble? How was this trio TROUBLE in the first place? Never mind the Apple Incident of '99. "Posh tosh," Bernie cackled, even as Blake's nose started to look rather crumpled, and she did feel bad about that, "Claudine's right," as usual. "We can't get deten---"

Just kidding, the Headmaster heard her.

Listen, Trent, maths was never her best subject.

She did listen to the Headman, though, and whirled away from him with a frown. On to the PROPER partnering, then. Bernie didn't really want to decide between the two Slytherins she'd forced to be her friends, but luckily, and she never thought she would say this, Schmoe happened. The first year actually gaped at the Muggle Studies professor as he offered to help them all, and CLAUDINE took him up on it.

Consider her stunned! The man COULD be useful! Amazing! What would he do next, magically be a good dancer? Ha ha ha ha ha. "Good luck," she whispered to her friend anyway.

Now Bernie was smiling as she turned back to Blake. "We're partners, then." She felt it was her duty to reiterate this for him. "Can you dance, or is your nose going to bleed on me dress?" Honestly, he should have been a Hufflepuff with all his sensitivity.

"You'll do no such thing." The Headmaster called to the boy, careful not to lose his count and throw both himself and Sissay off the beat they marched to. "As I've just finished explaining to your peers," Honestly, did the students not listen when he spoke? "There are to be defined pairs. You will not share and take turns, you will each have a partner. There's no need to have one person always sitting out. Everyone should be practicing together. There are still available partners and Professor De Nostredame would be all too happy to partner with one of you three should you find that more fitting."

This was not the sort of thing to be compromised on if only for the fact it made no practical sense. If there were three, one student would always have to stand and wait and watch. This was practice, not a show.

Then they're off. One two three, one two three. Ayana's hand, the one not extended outward and within Malachi's, was lightly resting on top of his shoulder. She could officially add waltzing with her boss to her list of life experiences. "Look at the way we're not clutching on to each other but lightly resting our hands in the proper positions. The waltz is a light and smooth dance," she wanted to recommend that they all try and stay on the balls of their feet, but that might be a tad too advanced. Perhaps when they'd all start to get the hang of it.
With the dancing underway, the man definitely did not regret his choice of partner. Ayana was competent in the waltz and he hoped it, along with the moving visual demonstration, would be enough to give the students an idea of what they were expected to do.

And she gave good advice to boot.

"Even when we begin to use the music, you should still be playing out the counts in your head. It's a precise but delicate dance. A push and pull without there being a struggle for control."

And one two three...one two three...

The man had a good feeling about this. That they'd nail it and Desmarais would have no choice but to calm all the way down and let them just enjoy the ball for what it was.

"Where'd you learn to waltz?" He asked casually of his partner.

Ilya was still preoccupied with his eyes shooting dagger at Tina's partner when the nudge in his side startled him. A girl was asking him to be his partner, she was blonde and kinda shorter than him. He guessed she was around his age, so maybe he was meant to dance with someone his own age instead of aiming for a girl he could easily climb like a tree. "Sure." Ilya's hair was still snot-green but now that he's less focused on his jealousy and more on the girl, a few strands went back to his original color - blond.

Ilya assumed his position opposite of her, holding her hand and allowing his other hand to float at her waist. "I'm Ilya. Do you know how to waltz?" Not a stupid question because duh, he did.

Analiese still hadn't found a partner. It looked like she was to be dancing with a teacher now. Sigh. Preferably not de Notresdame though. For obvious reasons. By 'obvious reasons' she meant: 1) he was very tall, and 2) she was very short. She could try and just sneak out, but she was wearing someone else's dress. And her own clothes were in the changing rooms, the opposite of where she was standing. She stood next to the wall until either someone noticed her or she noticed someone.

Ok, that tactic was proving very unsuccessful. Why couldn't more people turn up to practices so that she could be saved from the utter awkwardness of having to dance with a teacher? Teachers weren't exactly potential dance partners, if you know what she meant.

Just kidding, the Headmaster heard her.

Listen, Trent, maths was never her best subject.

She did listen to the Headman, though, and whirled away from him with a frown. On to the PROPER partnering, then. Bernie didn't really want to decide between the two Slytherins she'd forced to be her friends, but luckily, and she never thought she would say this, Schmoe happened. The first year actually gaped at the Muggle Studies professor as he offered to help them all, and CLAUDINE took him up on it.

Consider her stunned! The man COULD be useful! Amazing! What would he do next, magically be a good dancer? Ha ha ha ha ha. "Good luck," she whispered to her friend anyway.

Now Bernie was smiling as she turned back to Blake. "We're partners, then." She felt it was her duty to reiterate this for him. "Can you dance, or is your nose going to bleed on me dress?" Honestly, he should have been a Hufflepuff with all his sensitivity.


Blake having rubbed his nose, felt like it wasn't going bleed, pulled his hands away and took stock of what in the name of Merlin was going on around him. First off all... yes they could get in trouble for being in 3s. "Told you so." He added to the girls and their comments on being a trio. He wanted to stick his tongue out for good measure but that seemed even more childish.

And then a professor offered to help them out and Claudine went with him without much fight... after staring at them with his mouth gaped open for a second, he snapped he mouth shut and turned back toward Bernadette. "My nose is fine, no thanks to you." He added, reminding her that she was the cause of his nose 'job'. "But no, I don't think I'll bleed on you." He added taking a deep breath. "I think we need to be closer" He added grabbing her hand, and placing his other one on her hip. Blushing the color of tomato again, it was now or never. "Any idea what you're doing?" Because other than this he wasn't sure.

Alessandro was rather excellent at being discreet when he wanted to be and so, with the Headmaster's blessing, he slipped out of the hall without detection. He was quick about getting to the temporary Hufflepuff dorms and changing, too. He did not want to give Trent any reason to be irritated by him today. Or any day.

He had used up his quota of such grace earlier in the term.

Dressed in his own dress robes, Al returned to the hall just as the actual dancing began. He had missed the "coupling up", as it were, and so was tragically down a partner. The sixth year did his best to look bothered by the lack of a lady on his arm. He really did. After Alanna, girls, he decided, were quite a bit of trouble.

So far....he planned seemed to be working. Not even Dooley was telling him to get up and out of the dressing room. Thus, this fifth year was content to just ride out this lesson in the little make-shift dressing room. He should have brought a book or some of his OWL study materials with him to help pass the time though, because now he was quite literally wasting his time and that was making his skin crawl a bit. But clearly not enough for him to 'suck it up' and change so he could exit this space like everyone else and find a partner as he just heard Headmaster Trent instruct.

He could make up some excuse with Missa later. Something like it was bad luck to dance with your date before the ball? He didn't enjoy lying and he really never wanted to to Missa, especially over something as petty as his feelings towards ballroom dancing. But, well, what could he say? He was salty.

Elbows to his knees, Eiji found a remarkably boring spot on the floor to zone out at and began going over the timeline of the Second Wizarding War with as many specific dates and important players in alphabetical order by last name as he could recall.

Bernie was tempted to giggle when Blake stepped forward and took charge. She was proud of him for leading so far!! Instead of giggling, Bernie bit her lip to hide her grin and looked to the headmaster to see where he was in the counting. "You lead, and I follow," she whisper!bossed. "Just kinda walk in a square. You're doing a good job so far." Ya know, with the hand-holding and red blushing and all. Hehe.

She looked around, expecting a student as she hadn’t registered the voice. Instead, she found herself looking at the torso of an adult. She tilted her head back to look into the face of Mr. Awkward. Schmoe.

“Hi, Professor.’’ Claudine hesitated. “Er. Um... ‘’ Cue glance at Bernie and Blake then back to Schmoe. “I’ll take you up on that offer.’’ She’d try to be okay with all the contact. “Um, how do we get started?’’ The Snakette was looking rather helpless and lost right now.

Help, Professor!
"Excellent," he nodded a few times too many. Was it excellent though? Was it really?

Because to be entirely honest, Finneas was no good at dancing. He preferred bopping around, and snapping his fingers. The feet thing, though. That was not something he had ever mastered. Fortunately, he may be able to write off any blunders as a fault of the height difference. Surely that would work.

He raised his noodly arm, and maneuvered himself so that he was standing directly across from the first year. "With a hand!" That's how they started. Hopefully she would not leave him hanging. Additionally, he didn't want to just put his hand on her back without consent, so y'know, he let his other hand linger neaaar her back until she gave him the ready.

Missa was very much without a partner. Even the first year she had made conversation with had floated away and found herself a guy. It was quite embarrassing honestly. She tried glancing around, thinking she might have missed Eiji somewhere in the small crowd - but nope, he really had slipped away.

A little annoyed, she looked around again - and THANKFULLY her gaze fell on the only person who looked as much of a loser as she did right now. Before he could slip away too, she approached the boy and tapped his shoulder, "Shall we?"

Mathys had been quite content to stay around the peripheries as an observer and to ensure that no one thought themselves entitled enough to attempt to sneak out of the lesson. So his eyes had been trained keenly to the one boy who had dismissed himself to change and was pleased, not to mention surprised, when he had kept his word and returned.

It gave the Care of Magical Creatures professor some hope yet.

...some.

He would have pitied Mademoiselle Blaze for her unfortunate partnering, but she had earned the stench of poor taste that came with the presence of the Non–magique professor. Though even he could admit that it was right by the man to break up the trio. It was as though Hogwarts students were entirely incapable of following simple instructions. Perhaps their Arithmancy professor needed to lay down the foundations of simple arithmetic rather than be the Hogwarts headmaster's dancing partner?

His sharp gaze briefly flickered over to the changing rooms when he heard the Hogwarts headmaster utter his name. Ah. Yes. More students to lack the ability of basic arithmetic. Sauntering his way over to trio in question and cast his piercing gaze at the three once over before speaking. "I find it disappointing zat you would elect a rotation rathair zan not acknowledging ze pleading looks of one of your youngair peers who has been looking for a partnair. One of you will partnair with Mademoiselle Anderson," he informed them while beckoning the second year over towards them.

Ilya's hair was still snot-green but now that he's less focused on his jealousy and more on the girl, a few strands went back to his original color - blond.

Ilya assumed his position opposite of her, holding her hand and allowing his other hand to float at her waist. "I'm Ilya. Do you know how to waltz?" Not a stupid question because duh, he did.
Cecelia DID notice the hair, and she WOULD ask about that, but she wanted to get the dancing part started first so Headmaster Trent saw they were making an effort. She was doing that a lot lately, the making a serious effort thing. It was 'cause she really COULDN'T afford to get on ANY of the adults' bad sides again.

"I'm Cecelia, but you can call me Cece." A lot of people did and she didn't mind. "Mhm, I know it." Whether she was GOOD at it or not was another question entirely. She tried the whole letting Ilya lead thing, doing her best to NOT step on his toes, only it was pretty difficult when you were so close. "How come you know how to waltz?" Maybe he really liked to dance like Flynn, who she really wished was her partner right now. HE'D offered to let her stand on his feet while they danced, which sounded fun, she thought.

Oh... really? "Nuh uh," Bernadette argued, trying NOT to look down but also curious to see what her feet were doing independent from her hands, "I said you looked niced earlier!" Remember? See, this was the SECOND time she'd complimented him, all in the span of... like, thirty minutes. Bernie was setting some records tonight. And he could compliment her too, though she supposed 'you're doing great!' counted for something.

Speaking of... "One two three four," Bernie muttered under her breath, "one two three four," rise and fall and rise and fall, doing what Trent did, don't trip and fall. "One two three four," Claudine and Schmoe, now that's a pair, "one two three four," for the real ball, what would she wear? "One two three four, one two three four...."

Was she annoying Blake yet? And, "Do you want to try turning?" Bernie was sure they could do it without like, breaking his nose again.

Oh, yes. He knew this girl from some of his lessons. Dantes. Ravenclaw. He didn't know her well, but at least their eyes were pretty much level with each other's. As far as looking for a dance partner went, that seemed more or less ideal to him.

He smiled lightly at her, and turned to face her proper. "I do not mind," he said, and took his hands from out of his pockets as though to show he was, uh... ready, or something? Willing. Body language being important, and everything. "I am Kaiser." Just so she knew.
Tina returned the boy’s smile with a small one of her own. Kaiser, right. She’d heard the name in passing and remembered it was something with a K, but she never really bothered to memorize her classmates’ names. She preferred to reserve her brain space for facts and figures rather than the names of people she’d probably never see again after the end of the term. Anyway, at least if she had to take part in this idiotic dance class, she lucked out in the partner department. If nothing else, he wasn’t awkwardly shorter than her, and he was among the least obnoxious people in the room. “Thanks,” she replied. “Nice to meet you. I’m Tina.” See? She was trying to be sociable.

With the pleasantries out of the way, Tina turned her attention to Trent. While she had learned the waltz before, it had been nearly three years since she left Beauxbatons, so she was bound to be out of practice. She watched the demonstration closely, but she found the headmaster’s way of explaining the steps confusing. Six counts, yet only four directions of movement. That sounded like a recipe for disaster! Instead, she focused on the board, trying to commit the steps to memory. Her head jerked up at the sound of Professor Sissay’s voice, and she nearly breathed a sigh of relief. She was all for not clutching on to each other! Human contact, even from her closest friends, weirded her out.

Out of the corner of her eye, Tina saw Ilya, the first year she met on the carriage ride to school. If this had been anything besides dancing, she probably would’ve asked him to be her partner, but for these purposes, she thought he’d be better off with someone closer to his own age. She was several inches taller than him, and that would make it harder for him to lead her - and if she knew the customs of her former school half as well as she thought she did, Desmarais would probably not take kindly to a girl leading a boy in the dance. She didn’t want to set him up for trouble! Blink, blink. Uhhhh… was he okay? Why was he looking her way? And was she just seeing things or did his hair just turn GREEN?! She might talk to him later… or maybe not. She wasn’t good at handling people’s emotions.

For now, Tina turned her attention back to her partner. “Do you want to lead?” she asked, getting into position to begin the waltz. She had no idea if he knew how to waltz and was fully prepared to lead if he didn’t, but she’d let him decide. For all she knew, he might be the type who didn’t like being bossed around by a girl. Either way was fine with her.

And with that Blake took a larger step to his right to initiate the turn, a huge grin on his face.

"Even when we begin to use the music, you should still be playing out the counts in your head. It's a precise but delicate dance. A push and pull without there being a struggle for control."

And one two three...one two three...

The man had a good feeling about this. That they'd nail it and Desmarais would have no choice but to calm all the way down and let them just enjoy the ball for what it was.

"Where'd you learn to waltz?" He asked casually of his partner.
Ayana's focus shifted between her own dancing, effortless now that she had fully returned to the mindset of the "be lead" part, and the students still struggling with finding partners. She wanted to simply grab hands and pull teenagers together, but Trent seemed to be handling it better. Best leave that part to him.

"When I first moved to London," Ayana spoke quietly, smiling. A long, long time ago. "I was told it was a sure way to woo any woman," she added with a light chuckle. "I'm used to being the lead actually, but over the years I learned both roles." Her partner had helped with that. Ayana's mind wandered to the legal parchments in her desk, and she swallowed thickly. Not now.

"How about you?"

Always attuned to numbers, Ayana couldn't help but overhear the incorrect counting and turned to look at the young Slytherin and Gryffindor pair. "Mr. Ryan, Miss Grantham," she called out with a little smile. "The waltz is a dance performed in triple time, not quadruple. The counting is one, two, three. One, two-three," she made sure to perform the correct steps on the counts, trusting Trent - Malachi, at the moment - would fall in step. It wasn't the most intuitive of metres at first, but she had full faith they would get the hang of it.

And with that Blake took a larger step to his right to initiate the turn, a huge grin on his face.

Ope, they were really doing it! They were DANCING and HOLDING HANDS and TURNING and---

"Whaaaaaa?" Huh? Bernie turned her head up from looking at her feet and onto looking at the Arithmancy professor, who was correcting their counting. "Wait, we've been counting wrong this WHOLE time?!" She was so perturbed that she didn't move back in the correct time, which caused a small accident with Blake's face.

Not again!

"Ow owowow," Bernie mumbled, letting go of him and hopping around around on one foot. Yes, she'd bumped heads with him, but HE must have stepped on HER. And it hurt and she felt dumb and embarrassed for COUNTING WRONG.

"I'm Cecelia, but you can call me Cece." A lot of people did and she didn't mind. "Mhm, I know it." Whether she was GOOD at it or not was another question entirely. She tried the whole letting Ilya lead thing, doing her best to NOT step on his toes, only it was pretty difficult when you were so close. "How come you know how to waltz?" Maybe he really liked to dance like Flynn, who she really wished was her partner right now. HE'D offered to let her stand on his feet while they danced, which sounded fun, she thought.
Cece? He preferred Cecelia. "Cecelia sounds like a proper name." He did NOT say Cece was bad but he implied it. He was getting better at this polite conversation thing. Wow. In any case, Tina and the tall boy were no longer within his vision scope so his green hair started to fade slowly.

Ilya also tried not to step on her toes. She was smaller than him and looked kinda delicate, he didn't want to hurt her toes that must be so small. "My mum's a dancer. I always went with her to the theater and stuff." He thought she was doing pretty well, so she did not lie that she knew how to waltz. "You?" He hazard a move and tried to spin them both in another direction. Was it too soon?

Also, Merlin's Beard, he caught Bernie dancing too. It was SO weird seeing her all proper and dancing??!??? Who was this boy she was dancing with? Oh wait, they bumped heads and ruined the whole proper thing, Ilya started laughing. He nudged Cece to look and laugh with him. It was so funny.

Blake for a half of a second thought he nailed it!! Here he was in a ballroom with a beautiful fellow first year Bernadette dancing away. They had to be the best pair in the room ... and then the next second there was some sort of nonsense about them counting wrong and his nose was smashed against Bernadette's shoulder and she was screaming something about her foot. "Owwwwwww........" He grabbed his nose and this time there was no denying the blood that began to poor from his nose onto his outfit. "I think my nose is broken" Blake said tipping his head back to attempt to stop as much blood flow out of it. But he still did have a half of a mind to look as Bernadette... "Are you okay???" He added noticing her foot, but he only half cared seeing as he was loosing an obscene amount of blood from his nose.
