He spotted someone get up and then sit down again out of the corner of his eye. It was Cora. He smiled in her direction and then went back to trying to concentrate on making sure that he didn't clumsily step on Mallory's feet. He was rather suprised that Cora was here alone. Ah well, I'm with Mallory. Tonight has to go perfectly. He stepped on her foot. "Oh shoot. I'm soo sorry!"
Ok. Almost perfectly. Were mothers seriously the root of all etiquette and whatnot? Will they ever cease torturing their unwilling children and let them do as they pleased? Probably not. Mallory nodded sadly. "Yeah, mom forced me into taking dance lessons too...it was part of the whole high class" she rolled her eyes at the words "etiquette thing. Like I'll ever be graceful in everyday life. But I guess it's sort of useful in certain situations...like this." It was still sort of weird having a dance at Hogwarts where everything seemed so...fairytale-ish. The ceiling mirrored the current light snow falling from the outside. Everyone looked so fancy in their dress robes, dancing, laughing and enjoying. Mallory's slight daydreaming was interrupted by Christian's foot on hers. Ow! Another reason to hate heels. They enclose your feet in a tight space and they hurt twice as much when they get stepped on. "S'okay" she said trying to smile. Although her foot was a smarting a bit, it was funny seeing Christian's nervous reaction. It was a priceless expression. |
