As soon as her gaze left the Gryffindor duo, they landed on two people that she had hoped to avoid a little while longer. Serena and Jasper. How could she not notice them? They both looked great. Instead of being focused on the curly haired boy, her focus was on Serena. Red was really her colour. She looked beautiful beside him. She cast her gaze towards her shoes momentarily to avoid eye contact with them. Thankfully they appeared to be in their own world.

When she lifted her gaze again, she spotted Nerina entering the dance floor, looking magnificent as always. She bit the inside of her cheek before shifting her focus to the ceiling and spotted a dandelion fixture that caught her attention. The way the light emitted from it. It brought a smile to her lips, giving her heart a sense of unexpected relief as she was caught up in its looks. Glancing down from the fixture she saw Atlas and the Gryffindor lad (what was his name? She knew it started with a F... Frankie? Freddie?) next to him. The energy radiating from him made her smile more, forgetting the gnawing jealous feeling growing within her. He seemed really nice. He also looked nice in blue. And Atlas.. His look was expected yet unexpected. He always liked to go against the flow so she wasn't surprised to see the casual attire - she was caught off guard how attractive he looked with the backwards cap. An unexpected nervousness bubbled up inside of her as Atlas called her over to them with a gesture. He and his friend seemed really far away from her in the moment. She'd have to weave her way through the crowd at the edge of the dance floor to reach them.

Feet moved before she could think more on the matter which was a good thing. If she thought more, she would have stayed put. Lisa was glad that she didn't overthink for once.

She walked over and willed herself to be confident. She lifted her chin and squared her shoulders as she made her way over. This was a dance to have fun and, despite, the emotional rollercoaster of her fourth year, she was determined to have fun. The distance was much shorter than what she had originally thought.

Soon enough, she was close to the Gryffindor duo."Hi Atlas!" she greeted, not knowing whether or not to hug Atlas. She really could have used one but she didn't think he was a hugger. Was it getting hotter in here or was it just her? And why did she feel really awkward in this moment? Heart beating weirdly, wobbly jelly legs. "I like your look. You look nice." She had wanted to ask him where Remy was because she had expected the two of them to attend the dance together.

She then turned to Freddie and introduced herself. "Hi! I don't think we've met... I've seen you around. You look dapper." She recognized him from lessons and she knew that he was in the same year as her sister, Maya. "I'm L-Lisa." She stretched her hand out to his to shake it as she had been instructed to do from a young age. It was the polite thing to do but she felt, once again, awkward about doing this. The boy had really nice curly hair and he looked dapper.

Once introductions were done, she tilted her head at the two older boys and offered a curious smirk. "So what are you two doing over here? Planning to join the dancing, plotting to take over the world, or admiring the lights and fixtures?"
