He decided to stop calling out her name. If she were ever going to come, the students have heard them enough. They would be able to point her to him.

Spin.

"Well, darling, I'll let you in on a little secret." He looked around, as if there could be no one who could hear what he was saying. "I'm not normally a gentleman. The whole attire is making me feel very formal. I figured I might as well play the part." Hopefully she didn't go running for the hills when he told her. Not like there were any hills in the area. Nor could she get very far in the shoes she was wearing.

He sighed. "I think we should stop now. If she were here she would have said something to us by now. She's been upset lately, so I wasn't entirely sure she would make it. But that's alright, at least I found you." He looked at the girl with thankful eyes. The gold mask seemed to make his already blue eyes even bluer. Which one wouldn't think possible. He had some extremely blue eyes to begin with.

Should he tell her his house? He didn't see why not. It wasn't like she was a stalker or anything. He remembered back to the defense against the arts class that the Headmistress taught. She told them to be on their guard as much as possible. Even in the comfort of a dance, something could go wrong. Centaurs could run through the dance floor and start stealing students for all he knew. He made a mental note of the wand in his jacket pocket.

"Ravenclaw, you?"
