Dorian had been standing near the back of the rose garden, observing the others as they entered for the yoga class that the Headmistress had set up. Nothing much happened yet, well, except for Professor Schmoe’s outfit. The man looked like a student without a sense of fashion in those clothes.

He looked around the place some more until he noticed Rylee and he was about to wave at her and make his way over to his friend when the Headmistress started to take offend to her greeting. To him, her greeting had been perfectly fine and he did not get what the woman was getting worked up about. Probably a language missunderstanding.

Before he stood next to the Gryffindor, the Headmistress spoke to everyone, the Head Boy stood still, facing her way to give her his full attention. At first, he thought she would begin the yoga class but what came out instead made him lose his character for a second as his face fell. A ball? Not just any ball but a Valentine’s day Ball?

He took a deep and calming breath like he did whenever he was meditating. A ball meant he had to dance. But that was the least of his problems. He needed a date didn’t he? They all had to bring a date…. Coming alone to a valentine’s day ball was just sad. Would anyone even go with him?

While hundreds of questions swam in his mind, the Ravenclaw was frowning as he thought. He was so lost in his own thoughts that he did not hear the first quack and neither the second or the third until he looked up and saw that students were getting feathers? What in Merlin’s Beard was going on? He looked over in confusion at the Headmaster and his mouth fell open when he saw the same thing had happened to him.

For how long had he been lost in his thoughts?!

The drinks. Dorian looked over at the refreshments for a second before his attention went back tot he chaos around him. What on earth did he have to do?! Had someone spiked the drinks? But who? Dorian sighed, this was going to be a long day wasn’t it? ”Cole, it’s alright” he said as he moved towards the Gryffindor and as he was now asking the Headmaster for help. ”I’m sure it’s just a harmless prank” he hoped it was though and nothing more sinister was happening. Did bad luck follow Hogwarts students or where the students bad luck? He wanted to keep every spiked student aside but the Headmistress was still in the room as well so he waited for her instructions.
