"You won't disappoint her. I look okay. I am sure it will be Tessa who looks truly beautiful." Especially in his eyes, because she had seen the way he looks at her many times over the month. And as she always looked back at him the same way, surely Tessa would find Sander every bit as handsome as he found her beautiful.
Had she seen the others? Lux shook her head. She had not seen Tessa yet, or Bay. She assumed he would be coming here with his girlfriend, which was why she had not asked him to be her Valentine. "My date for tonight is Louis." And yes, it was strictly platonic; just her asking her loyal Squire to be her Valentine.
Spotting Adi waving over to her and Sander, Lux smiled and waved back. He was looking quite dapper today. Wondering if he was going to come over to them and talk, she saw that instead his eyes were focused on a girl who looked about their age who she had seen before in classes. Awww, was she his Valentine? That was so cute. Deciding that maybe she would say hello to him later, she left them to it.
Oh, and there was Alex! She was looking good tonight as well. Everyone was, and there seemed to be a lot of happiness in the air - besides at the game centre at least. "Hey, Alex. You are looking very nice," she said as she made her way over to them. "Who's your date?" Curious and all that.
Again with the beautiful.
She was going to be as red as the heart decorations around the room by the end of the night if this didn't stop.
Smiling, she curtsied to him after he bowed. "You are looking very nice, Louis. Very handsome." She knew that he had made sure to dress very nice for his Lady.
Awww, he had brought her a present. She was not silly enough to imagine that it was in any way romantic; for all she knew he had stuck candy in it or something. "Awww, the loyal Squire is giving his Lady a gift. Happy Valentine's Day." Taking the box, she gave him a kiss on the cheek. As a friend. So people had better not get in a fit over it.
Happily, she opened the box and was pleasantly surprised to see a large Chocolate Frog wrapper. "It's amazing, Louis. Thank you. I will open it properly as soon as I get to my dorms." She was smart enough to know that if on the off chance her frog managed to get away before she could eat it, the people organizing the event probably wouldn't be too happy with her. Best to do it later on even if she really wanted chocolate right now.
“You’re too kind m’lady, thank you,” replied Louis with a sheepish smile as Lux complimented his look. He was relieved to see that she approved, ‘cause it would’ve been really awkward if he had arrived casual while she was all dressed up and looking entirely too perfect. The squire had to live up to his Lady’s standards.
The boy received Lux’s gratitude kiss with a warm smile before proceeding to sit down on the empty chair beside hers. “That’s probably a good idea,” he said with a soft chuckle when Lux decided she’d properly open her chocolate frog at the dorms. Yeah, no, a life-sized chocolate frog hopping around the room when everyone else was trying to dance was probably not something he wanted to be involved in.
The Gryffindor allowed his blue eyes to scan the Hall absentmindedly for a moment, recognizing a few faces here and there, before turning back to Lux and Sander. “I imagine Bay will be here with his date soon, yeah? I didn’t see him in the dorms today,” he commented. He couldn’t help feeling like he hadn’t really seen or talked to his best mate much lately; the other boy was just so busy with Quidditch and all, it was hard to find a free moment to just hang out.
