That's what make up was for, no?

"Well, I don't normally play the lady," she said, mimicking his conspiratorial voice. "So you see, you're not the only one."

Wait, stop? Tora stumbled a couple steps until her brain caught up with what he was saying. "Ohh you mean stop shouting out for Ophelia... Right," she said out loud. For both this boy's sake and Ophelia's she hoped that Ophelia could make it. If Tora was having fun dancing, then so would this girl, and since apparently she was upset it could do her some good. Besides, if Ophelia didn't like the dancing, she could always admire her partner's blue eyes.

Although it came as a surprise, Tora didn't fumble the steps this time when he mentioned his house.
"Really? I'm Ravenclaw too!" Tora's mask slipped a bit as she moved her eyebrows in surprise. "Wait," she said, raising a hand to adjust her mask.

"Do I know you?"
Ah, so she wasn't a lady either. "I guess it's part of the magic of the night." It seemed as though everyone was on their best behavior tonight, which was good. After the crazy events that happened during the year, the students deserved a peaceful night. Hopefully he didn't speak too soon.

Spin, spin, step and step. Was he doing this right?

Austin chuckled as the girl missed a few steps. "Yes, I meant calling out for Ophelia." He spun the mysterious girl out and twirled her back into his arms. Hopefully that was elegant. He saw a few other boys do the same thing and it looked like fun. Actually he thought it was quite fun. It was cool how her dress spun out when she twirled. If the girl thought it was fun, maybe he could do it again. He never thought he would love dancing so much. All the guys in the dorm said it would be boring, but it was fun.

"That's perfect! It will be easier to give you those quills." He looked at her and shook his head. "I'm sure you'd be able to remember this" He said as he gestured to himself. "But I won't blame you if you do know me, it's just an effect of the Great Hall." He chuckled again. Obviously he was joking around, hopefully she wasn't offended. "No, but in actuality, you probably don't know, know me. I don't talk to people much, but you probably know what I did." His thoughts were brought back to the beginning of the year at the start of term feast. "At the beginning of the year, I got into a fight with a Slytherin boy." The news had gotten around the house fast, and he was positive that she had heard.

He lifted up his arm, and twirled the mysterious girl under his arm. He was positive he didn't know her. He hardly knew anyone in the house.
