"Thank you, Queen Donovan," he continued the charade with a wink. "I couldn't have done it without an excellent education at the hands of Hogwarts' highly capable faculty." That was the ticket, compliment the staff while dancing with one of them. See, Fletcher was smart. "I certainly did practice researching in the library, if you could call it that," he added.
Speaking of which... yes, Fletcher did know better than to think that was librarian's real hair. She took his jest well though. "Yes, yes you do. You're incredibly charming, I must admit, and even without a costume." Er, he meant she was charming all year-round, not just this evening because she had charmed her hair and put on a fancy dress.... that had been conveyed correctly, right?! He was NOT insinuating anything, not at all never with a professor nuh uhhhhh.
Gah!
The boy Fletcher just
winked at her. Merlin that got under her skin these days!
She tried to wipe the dirty look off her face and push the discomfort away, when Fletcher went ahead and spoke again, making matters worse.
"Right," she said; her tone flat.
She continued to follow his lead across the floor but her dancing turned methodical.
Why did someone always have to ruin a pleasant moment?
Just then, Kimber felt someone walk up behind her.

He happened to overhear Fletcher's last sentence as he made his way over to the pair. "Without a costume, Fletcher?" Jeremy asked trying to hide the amused grin which was trying to flash across his lips as he finally reached them. It HAD been a good idea to save her after all. "Do you mind if I borrow-" His hazel eyes flickered back and forth between the two a couple of times before he finished his sentence. "-your queen for a while?" Though, borrow usually meant he was going to give her back...which probably wasn't going to happen. Heh.
Without giving Fletcher time to object, she took a step back and dipped her head formally.
"Thank you for the dance, Fletcher. It was lovely," she said, taking Jeremy's hand to be led away. FAR away, she hoped. *sigh*
