"She seems to have that all sorted on her own. Gryffindor." Amelia was her own person, fiercely independent, and certainly didn't take anything Emrys said to heart. Or at least, he didn't think so, anyway.
That was certainly a way to look at it that Emrys hadn't considered. Every time someone asked what he did, all he saw was monotony and wasted potential, but absolutely no idea how to move forward from there. "I suppose. And not too often. Sometimes when he's not sure a source will be fruitful, I preview it so he can decide whether it's worth his time." But that happened rarely. Emrys didn't quite think the man trusted his opinion.
"No one has ever accused me of being cool before," he laughed, lightly, trying to relax. Just a little, please. "I don't get out much, though..." and he gestured vaguely in the direction Amelia had gone off. "She keeps trying to set me up. Filled out forms for a matchmaker, for merlin's sake." So Emrys had maybe had one date in months. And while it wasn't the worst experience in the world, he was still feeling weird about it.
What were social skills, again?
Louisa followed Emrys' gaze back to the main stage where she, too, saw the little girl who was here badgering him a few moments ago now being pulled up on stage with the playing band. She laughed, "
No, I guess not." She was doing splendid on her own. "
Maybe she would show you some tricks then." Louisa corrected herself with another laugh. In all honesty, Amelia was slowly reminding Louisa of her young, teenage self. She was a bit uptight when she was twelve but as she grew up away from her magical-hating family, Louisa gained that wild and intensely independent personality. Just like Amelia, it seemed. But Louisa's personality had a hint of intellectual sarcasm due to her Ravenclawness, Amelia... hmm. "
Does she go to Hogwarts? Is she like us?" A Ravenclaw? Louisa doubted it, which was why she was asking.
Aaaah, see, that was the interesting part of his job, in her opinion. "
That's interesting. You should focus on this while juggling the other regular things he assign to you." She encouraged him with a nod. "
Do you have a five-year plan or something? Like, in five years, I'll be doing this and that, or I'll be this or that." She had a life plan, in case he was wondering.
Oh! A matchmaker! Louisa laughed with him, and nodded, "
I sent in my application once too. I like to go on dates, it doesn't have to be serious, just getting to know people and secretly judging them while being hit on. It's not half-bad if I could say so myself!" She grinned. And if the other person was hot enough, you'd have a good time looking at them. It was all a win-win, really. "
Unless you're ready to settle down and find the one, then... in that case, yeah, dating could be stressful." Louisa squinted her eyes at him trying to read him. He didn't look like the 'fun' kinda guy, he was too sweet and nice to be like that.
Actually... he... he reminded her of one sweet, adorable, witty Ravenclaw boy... that she loved so dearly one time, but she didn't dare bring his face or name on her mind now, that was how she usually got jittery.
Text Cut: Jozsua the mystery master! <3

Amused, Józsua took his turn to imitate her, slithering down and then up again. For someone who freely admitted he sucked at sports and wouldn't run unless something was chasing him, he was pretty flexible when it came to dancing. His inhibitions were lost when there was music and he could let go and dance. Plus this woman was drawing out his cheeky/confident side and he liked the feeling. He liked feeling free of his usual anxieties and lack of self-confidence.
No names then? She liked an air of mystery? His eyes glinted and he said something to her in Hungarian knowing people found it all mysterious. If she wanted mystery, then she could have it.
She was right though. The fact that they were just dancing together, not knowing any details about each other other (other than she had the moves and he could speak another language), was adding to Józsua's feelings of freedom. It was easier to be like this around a complete stranger. You could pretend to be someone else just for a little while. “Fine, Ms No Name.” He shouted above the music, his hands finding their way to her waist. Pretty girl with no name. He was enjoying himself immensely.
The song came to an end and, boy, was he hot now. He blew his hair out of his face which had fallen across his brow. Phew.
He shook his head to that question, his hands dropping to his sides and he shrugged. “I would.” He said contradicting the head shaking. “But.. maybe not yet.” Not if she didn't want to. “You can tell me later, mystery girl.”--Woman.. Hmm.. and that sounded like a pick up line. He smiled widely, pleased he was already hot to disguise a blush. “I mean.. before we go our separate ways.” Nice save..... The music had started up again. He hoped Olly was alright on her own. Euh.. that queue for food must've been a nightmare.....
He reached out his hand. “Another dance?” He smiled brightly.
Okay, okay, okay, this guy... wherever he came from or whatever heaven he fell from was the one tonight. It was so easy eliciting a fun reaction from him, they were communicating in body language and he
got what she was challenging him to do. Louisa laughed at their little 'bum-wiggle off' and when he leaned in to say something foreign to her, her smile widened and she stared at his mouth where the word came from for a moment. Ohhhh, this was even
better than she expected.
He looked particularly fresh and young when he pushed his sticky hair out of his face, she tucked her hair into a messy bun while she tried to study his face, but it was awfully difficult with this dim lighting. What he said did get her full attention, though, away from face reading. Louisa was so pleased he was with her about this whole no-names strategy, she usually would have to give out a fake name if the guy insisted on one, but being honest with the fun guy over here felt good and promising. "
Okay. I owe you a name at the end of our fun night." She subtly flirted with him, not realizing his first pickup line wasn't intentional. "
Before we go our separate ways, I mean." And also imitated his nice save, but she was teasing him with a smirk now.
She took his hand and chuckled at his smile. "
We need to teach you how to smile less." His smile was contagious, Louisa couldn't be edgy and no-smiley when he was being all sunshine and rainbows over here. She'd think of a good teaching method while they danced to this new song.
It was still a fast one so she got closer to him as her body bopped to the fast rhythm, her arms were raised slightly and moving in sync with the rest of her.
