Daniel continued to observe the rainbow-coloured lights while eating his doughnut, ignoring the rest of the students at the event. He tried not to groan as he noticed Vera approach him with a plate FULL of food. "Are you going to eat all that?" he asked, motioning to her plate while ignoring the squid boy comment because, to be honest, he didn't mind nicknames.

Daniel hadn't even considered the possibility of an event happening while looking about the place. He'd viewed the festival as standing around eating food and admiring the magnificent lights. "I don't know" he shrugged before looking down at the young girl, and he was ready to respond to her question about the Forbidden Forest when she continued to talk and stated THAT.

He cleared his throat, his cheeks flushing as he looked away in search of a certain fifth-year Slytherin, wondering whether she would be here too, but his dark brown eyes landed on a certain Flamsteed brother instead. UGH, evening ruined. "I'm not going to 'make a move' on a girl" he said, rolling his eyes."And why would I want to go to the Forbidden Forest when we all know what's inside it? Stranger (T)things are going on inside the castle anyway"
