Remy & Ollie
 
Lisa had been tempted to show off the pink rain boots to Professor Gunter but she refrained from doing so for now. She’d spare him the colourful and awesometastical explanation associated with these trusty gum boots for sure.

When Remy had popped in and smiled, Lisa had returned her friend’s smile. She was still saddened by the fact that they hadn’t ended up in the same house but the two of them could still be friends!

Class started and Lisa’s hunches had been right. They were going to dance.... DANCE! And then she just stared as Oakley kinda nearly face planted but didn’t. Oh phew. She averted her eyes as the Professor almost fell to the floor but then looked back when she noticed he was okay. She fought back a chuckle, concealing into a quiet cough. Welp. That was embarrassing and a little comical. She did hope he was alright. Imagine if he got hurt and had to go to the Hospital Wing.... YIIIIKES :yikes:

She turned to Remy who had asked her and Ollie to be partners. Lisa’s excitement grew almost instantaneous after the Gryffindor asked that question. Of course they could be partners!! She liked the two of them a lot. They were FUN! “Let’s do this!!!” she grinned as she watched Remy start to do the robot dance. She just started bopping, moving side to side to warm up as she thought of dances and dance moves that she knew. Y’know what dance would have been awesome if she had her toy light saber as a prop? The Geommu. She had seen a recreation and several dramas about Hwangchang and his journey teaching others of the infamous sword dance.

How did it go again? She knew that there were two movements. But how did she do them? She started off by spinning and extending her right arm out pretending she was holding a sword and elegantly going through the motions (except it didn’t look as elegant as she thought cause bouncy child).

Atlas had slammed his fingers in a door and now his face had almost been SMASHED against a door. He really needed to adjust his relationship with doors. Though at least there were no broken bits to deal with this time - though he could always ask his unrequited love, Phoebe James, to fix him up if that happened. That was obviously less embarrassing than going to the hospital wing.

"...lucky...right..." the Gryffindor mumbled under his breath as he turned right back around and found himself a spot. He would not call this lucky and Atlas could hardly bring himself to put his bag down let alone start to dance. The type of music Atlas liked was...not exactly the sort you danced to either. At least not the sort of dance that Professor Gunter was doing. It was the sort of music that dad yelled at him to turn down and would turn one's throat hoarse if you sang along with. Maybe a headache from thrashing it about so much. So, naturally, it had him thinking about why in the world they were dancing to start things off. Something to to with galdr, perhaps?

If invoking runes was going to hinge on his ability to dance...he was doomed. And just when he thought he was getting the hang of the subject too.

And you know what they say, awkward begets awkward...or awkward attracts awkward...or something to that general effect. Basically Atlas soon found himself standing beside Quinn who was looking just as uncomfortable as he was. Cue a sheepish smile and strained laugh. Atlas was more...swaying than dancing really, his balance shifting from one side to the other and ending in a toe point as he did. His arms eventually lazily swung back and forth in opposite oscillation to his body's weight.

Ehwaz? That was a movement rune, right? Could it give him a right foot to match his left foot when it came to dancing?

Their dad must've finally rubbed off on Uncle Oakey because of that sigh. Noah frowned a bit, in confusion, as he was asked to stand up. "Yes professor, but I just need a minute to--" as he was just about to explain why he needed to sit and re-tie his shoe, Scarlett happened. She'd come busting inside the classroom, pointing at their godfather, talking in top speed, and then sat on him.

Noah didn't even get a second to process things as he found himself knocked back on the floor and grunted. Scarlett did play rough when they were younger, and she hasn't changed one bit now that she's bigger and heavier. And... ooh. Points loss. Well, that was a first. Did Catherine catch that? She was going to be so upset about this, for sure. With their godfather reprimanding his sister, Noah took it as his cue to push himself and Scarlett off the ground and turned to the already exhausted man. "Sorry about that, Professor." the Gryffindor did not expect Scarlett to apologize right away, so his apology would have to do for now.

And so the lesson begins. And the lesson wouldn't be that of Professor Gunter's if it didn't have a tiny mishap. Noah was not at all surprised. In fact, if any of his lessons ran smoothly, he'd be highly sus about it.

Anyway, music, movement, and... what in tarnation was that dance, Professor?! Okay, he'd seen things from their godfather, but this was a first. And he cannot believe he'd been their mummy's ex-boyfriend decades ago. Ewwwwwwwww gross!

Shuddering, he stepped closer to the edge of the dance floor and began to stretch, opting for a movement that he was overly familiar with. Noah was not going to dance crazy since Scarlett was going to get that bit covered.

Remy, Ollie, Lisa!
 
Victoria thought it bold of Professor Gunter to think the dance floor would be a judgment free zone because she would be judging EVERYONE. She was a TRAINED DANCER, you see. Like, since she was FIVE.

So when he announced there was going to be a dance party, she was THRILLED. And who better to join than the three girls near her - TWO of which she felt like she could call friends. And of course, Remy could be her friend, too, if all went well during this dance party.

"Make it quadruple partners, ladies,"
V said with a deeeeep, dramatic bow as she SQUISHED her way in between Remy and Ollie. She did one of her routines she had learned last year at dancing school that soooort of went along with whatever tune was playing. And to think, Victoria had totally thought about skipping this class. HA! What a mistake that would have been!

Finding Alfie standing next to him, the Hufflepuff nodded his head at his Slytherin friend as a form of greeting when the Professor began his class. Daniel watched with the slightest hint of concern in his dark brown eyes when the professor stumbled off of the platform. Once it was clear that he was fine, however, the boy rolled his eyes. Professor Gunter could challenge Professor Schmoe for the most awkward professor.

The idea of having to DANCE was a big no for him. Again, his brother was the party guy in the family and he knew he would have probably gone crazy on the dance floor by now had he been present. But Daniel did not want to. And telling them that the dance floor was a judgment-free zone only invited people to judge. They were teenagers after all.

So no, he was not going to make a fool out of himself. The option to simply move instead of dance was what made the Hufflepuff stay in the room and so he began stretching his arms instead. "You want to walk around or dance?" he asked Alfie. Whatever he decided, Daniel was not going to dance.

V, Remy, and Lisa
 
Ollie greeted Lisa and Remy with a quick "Hello" and a smile before returning her attention to the dance floor. She watched as Oakley greeted the class and began explaining what they would be doing.

She winced as she watched him hit the ground. That had to hurt, both physically and mentally. Ollie couldn't imagine tripping and falling in front of a full class of students you were teaching. She would probably die of embarrassment. No, she definitely would.

She turned to Remy and Lisa and V as they invited her to be partners. How nice of them! She had been nervous that she would have to dance on her own, but was happily surprised that all three of the girls wanted to dance with her. As they began dancing, Ollie couldn't help but feel a little silly. What would this mean for the class? It wasn't her fault she couldn't just dance and have fun, she had to understand what this had to do with Ancient Runes! But, she tried her best to focus on Remy's robot, V's routine, and Lisa's... flailing?... as best she could. She tried her best to do some line dances she had learned at muggle school. Right foot forward... hip out... hand on hip... "Why is he making as dance?" She asked through some giggles. This was kinda fun!

Claudine had been standing there, shifting from foot to foot, when Ashley appeared at her side. “Anyone who's not us,’’ the sixth year confirmed. “Reckon the professor’s got two left feet?’’ Those words were hardily out of her mouth when Heath joined them. “Hi, you,’’ came her greeting along with a smile.

His heart sank right there and then when Gunter said they’d be dancing. Goodness. She didn’t want to dance in public. Claudine had only ever danced with Heath and at least he hadn’t laughed at how terrible she was. Not even Gunter’s entire episode with the lights did anything to lighten her current mood. Was the man always that clumsy though?

“So… either of you up for dancing?’’ Claudine could guess what Heath’s answer was, and for that reason her gaze was upon Ashley. Occasionally, said gaze flickered over to Gunter and she almost laughed out loud when she saw the man’s crazy moves. Comical. It was quite comical.

Hey Ju 05-16-2021 08:03 PM

Anyone fancy a hair-slap?
 
Okay, LOOK. Scarlett KNEW this was a class and yes, uncle Oakey wanted to be called 'pRoFeSsOr gUnTeR' at any cost, but that didn't MEAN they couldn't have FUN, OKAY? It was a DANCE FLOOR, for crying out loud!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AND uncle Oakey deducted three points from her because she just SAT on her BROTHER, which she did ALL the TIME. SEE, uncle Oakey, Noah was still ALIVE. No harm DONE there.

The young Mordaunt squinted her eyes ever-so-slightly at the man, giving him a serious, unimpressed look that made her features resemble her father's rather uncannily.

"Fine..." She said out loud to the man, before turning away and towards her brother. "...uncle Oakey." She shook her head and looked up at Noah. "Dunno what mum saw in him." She added, rolling her eyes before snickering.

And about his fall? SERVED HIM RIGHT, hm.

See? SEE??? Even uncle Oakey knew lessons could and SHOULD be fun. Look at him telling people to dance and whatnot. She KNEW he was just trying to assert himself and show to the other kids there was no favouritism. Well, DUH, they were practically FAMILY, of COURSE they would be treated differently. Only in this case they were treated WORSE.

SHAME ON YOU, UNCLE OAKEY.

But fine, FINE. Scarlett could have FUN still. She could DANCE. And DANCE she WOULD. Wildly TOO. So off she went, jumping around and flailing her arms and head banging, her hair whipping about all over the place.

WHICH WAS NOT MOSHING, ALRIGHT, UNCLE OAKEY COULD NOT USE THAT EXCUSE TO DEDUCT MORE POINTS saying she was being dIsReSpEcTfUl as Scarlett KNEW that was NOT. MOSHING.

She was watching you with Slytherin eagle eyes, uncle Oakey, no more funny business!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dumblydor 05-16-2021 08:36 PM

Alfred's stare at the covered object was broken by Gunter's start of class, as he turned to look at him instead to pay attention. They were going to be doing a dance party? One, that had nothing to do with Ancient Runes and two, Alfred never danced in public. And that meant never. The only time he danced was when he was by himself in the safe sanctity of a locked room, which was almost always his bedroom. Plus, dancing in public was embarrassing. Even though the dance floor was supposed to be a judgement-free zone, he was sure people would be judging him. He would certainly judge other people.

Alfred resorted to doing simple stretches like Daniel instead. "I'm pretty sure I'll just do this." He began doing a variety of stretches, from knee hugs to lunges, although several simple ballet moves such as the passe or the developpe were thrown in there too.

NiallNIP 05-16-2021 11:06 PM

Atlas listens to heavy metal?????? :o
 
When Atlas came up, Quinn got another pang of nervousness. He had been having weird encounter after weird encounter with Atlas, and he was dreading the weird conversation that was bound to happen at some point. But.... it didn't seem like that was going to happen at this moment. He returned Atlas's awkward smile with one of his own.

He watched what Atlas was doing and stood next to him, then mimicked the movements, but mirrored. When Atlas would sway to the left he would sway to the right, etc. Quinn figured out that having a dance partner was a bit better than not. Quinn chuckled as he and Atlas were just... swaying and moving their arms in unison. This could just stay how it is, right? They could just not pay attention to any of Quinn's weirdness and things could just go back to normal, right? It's not like his mom would know he was still hanging out with Atlas. But.... he was still worried about what Atlas was thinking...

Nope! Don't think about it! Act like everything is normal and everything will be normal and they don't have to talk about any of what happened in Diagon Alley because it didn't happen and everything is fine! Just keep swaying!

MadAlice 05-16-2021 11:33 PM

Anyone want to partner? (Violet could really use a little help)
 
Violet was startled when the professor tripped and almost ran over to see if he was all right, but he got up and righted himself almost immediately and went on like nothing had gone wrong at all. Violet envied his ability to do that; she figured she would have been frozen with embarrassment if it had happened to her.

Then she was frozen, in astonishment, when he went on to describe the assignment. It was as bad as she had thought, and worse. Dancing! Violet had had some rudimentary lessons in the basics from Miss Howard, but had never actually danced for real, nor did she think she really knew how.

She looked around, trying to figure out what to do. She thought that trying to find a partner to dance with would be unbearably awkward, but she dreaded the prospect of trying to dance alone as much or more. She wished she knew someone well enough to feel comfortable asking them.

Felixir 05-16-2021 11:44 PM

Dance party.

Naturally.

This had better be going somewhere useful.

From their place at the wall beside Pax, Nem watched calmly as Gunter flailed himself right off his little stage, eyes combing over him once he'd made his graceful landing, particularly the subtle glow on his hand, which had not gone unnoticed in the past. They were still considering his little Sir Luckless routine when the man was up and spewing instructions.

No one here is going to judge you... This dance floor is a judgement free zone. Someone was clearly embarrassingly out of touch with the world, and with the hunting patterns of teenagers especially. These Hufflepuff professors were something.

Nem winced slightly as the music got going, their first change expression since entering the classroom, and straightened up. "Coming with?" they said to Pax, though they had no intention of stepping onto the dance floor, only to walk around the edge of it. It wasn't that Nem was against exercise, or physical activity in general; far from it. But, especially in a classroom like this, lit up unpredictably and full of people who didn't much care for them, they preferred to keep their wits about them. Easier to do that at a walk.

Misa offered a small smile to Florrie who came and stood by her. It was nice to start having friends especially when awkward things like this were happening.

She made her way onto the floor and spun around before shaking her hips and swaying. This had absolutely nothing to do with runes but... the dance floor was calling and she was not one to leave it unanswered.

sweetpinkpixie 05-17-2021 05:35 AM

he might indulge in it sometimes... yes *claims a hair SLAP too*
 
You know what Atlas hated about being a twin? Everything in double. Know what else he liked about being a twin? Everything in double.

He was a truly straightforward individual, you know?

Quinn mirroring his movement was ... a lot in the moment. Though he would be hard pressed to say just why it was a lot. It felt like since that day in the Alley that they were on entirely different pages and not even remotely close to falling in stride with one another like they used to do. It happened, you know? Just walking along the pathways or to and from classes, the Great Hall, there was a natural rhythm that one could find with your friends and ... others ... without even trying. When you had that and then everything went off, the world felt off. Like when he and Aries lost their synergy.

There was a difference between being in sync and mirroring too, but for now Atlas was just smiling while he continued to move and loosening up. The loosening up happening thanks to Quinn's presence and their double awkwardness. He was focusing on the Ravenclaw so much that he wasn't prepared for the tornado of a Hufflepuff that was wrecking innocent havoc around the place and *WHACK* whipped right across the face and in his eye.

"OW!"

Actually, Pax was judging hard. Not so much the little kids, even though she wouldn't have been so enthused at that age. She wasn't going to dance either unless she really had to, Pax's kind of dancing wasn't really suitable for this kind of company anyway.

She hadn't expected Nem to say anything but nodded and followed with. Walking, obviously, not dancing. If standing still had remained an option she would have done that.

Maybe they could get a closer look at the covered thing.

"Oh....ok" Daniel's face fell a little bit when Alfie decided to do stretches instead of walking with him which meant that the Hufflepuff decided on staying in place as well. It was a decision he had made on his own and not because he didn't want to walk around the platform alone.

So Daniel stayed with his Slytherin friend, copying his moves because all that he knew was simple arm stretches. When Alfie suddenly threw in ballet stretches Daniel NOPED out but it wasn't for a lack of trying. He had swung his leg, it cramped up and he winced before he lowered it and pretended to be fine.

Completely fine over here!

Deciding that he had had enough before he would actually hurt himself, he looked around at the students dancing and although he did not want to, his gaze went over to look at Victoria dancing with her friends and he was surprised to see that she could dance.

That was pretty coo---

NO! It was stupid! SHE was stupid and so were her dance moves!

He forced himself to take his attention away from her and he let out a loud laugh as the boy from Muggle Studies class (Atlas), the one who had told everyone in class that he had no empathy, got slapped in the face by Scarlett's hair.

That was amazing!

Heath returned Claudine’s smile, but his face soon fell as Professor Gunter confirmed what he already suspected. They were dancing. Why? What in Hoth did dancing have to do with Ancient Runes? Never mind… He’d learned long ago not to try to make sense of the professors’ reasoning; just go with it. He watched Gunter’s fall with apprehension, both for the professor and himself. Knowing his luck, it was only a matter of time before he did something similar on the dance floor!

At least they had the option of walking… or jumping jacks or running in place. Literally anything was better than dancing! Heath had every intention of taking one of those options until Claudine spoke. The thought of dancing with her put him more at ease. He’d done it before - although that was in private, not in a room full of students who, despite what the professor said, would probably judge him - and he just couldn’t say no to her! “Okay,” he replied, nodding.

The only problem was the only dances he knew were mean for two people, and he didn’t want Ash to be left out. Okay, technically that wasn’t true. He knew The Chicken Dance and The Hokey Cokey, but those were silly kiddie dances. No way in Hoth was he doing either of those! Then an idea occurred to him. “What if the three of us take turns dancing with each other?” he said.

NiallNIP 05-17-2021 05:10 PM

Quinn gasped a bit as Atlas got hit and quickly jumped out of reach from the wildly swinging hair, pulling Atlas out of the danger zone with him. "Are you alright?" Quinn asked, putting a hand on Atlas's cheek to hold his face while he examined the eye. His brow furrowed slightly as he did this, not thinking of much else besides making sure his friend was alright.

And about who was careless enough to hit his friend in the eye. Quinn turned his head towards the basically-moshing girl (Scarlett). "Hey! Would you please be more careful? You just hit my friend in the eye."

TakemetotheBurrow 05-17-2021 05:18 PM

Been here alllll along
 
Well, Uncle Oakey was still as clumsy as ever and Cece frowned a little, hoping her classmates didn't make fun of him for it. The guy was kind of a goof, but he had a great heart, and he was also super smart about this stuff. He had this. Well, she hoped he had this. Professor-ing wasn't for everyone.

Deciding now was as good a time as ever to practice some of the dance moves Kale had showed her, the blonde put her arms out as if to dance with an imaginary partner and then began to practice the simple steps she remembered. One-two-three. One-two-three.

Staying off the dance floor itself seemed the wiser choice thus far, if the flailing students and professor were anything to go by. Might have been fun to go out there and lamp someone in the face, claim it was the result of exuberant dancing and self-expression, but there was nobody they were particularly interested in targeting, and ultimately the idea did not hold as much fun as they expected it to. More entertainment value in observing the others, and even then...

... even then, they weren't interested. Not in the covered object either, at least in the sense that they didn't think it likely to find an advantage that mattered in seeing it a few minutes early. Sabotage, though, that was a different kettle of kelpies. Nem had noticed where Pax's eye was drawn earlier, and were not averse to making a short stop in the name of... whatever, especially if those little kids were inclined to turn their little collision into an entire scene.

Strolling silently around the edge of the dance floor alongside Pax, they veered slightly outwards, closer to the wall, fiddling with something in their pocket.

Imsosikk07 05-17-2021 05:31 PM

anyone who feels like dancing with her or not lol. up to youuuu!!
 
SPOILER!!: Gunter and...DANCING?!?!?
"Welcome back to Ancient Runes." Professor Gunter said to everyone now. Coming forward from the small stage toward the class who had all gathered around the Dance Floor. "It should be pretty obvious by now, but for the start of the class today I'm holding a little dance party." He took another step forward, but he misjudged the distance between the edge of the small stage and some the moving white lights moved right into his face as he went to step on to the dance floor. Awkwardly flailing his arms "Oh YIKES!" He blurted out as he fumbled downward. He didn't faceplant, but his fall did look rather unpleasant. He took a quick glance to his right hand as he noticed it's glow fading. Lot of help that was? Where was the warning? Right yes... he stood up.

"You can dance in pairs if you want to, or you can dance on your own. Dance however you like to. Ballet, Ballroom, Break Dance." He recovered. And kept speaking as though there was now unlucky tumble seconds before. "Do what you makes you feel most comfortable. No one here is going to judge you on how well you can dance. This dance floor is a judgement free zone. In fact it's my personal opinion that there is no such thing as bad dancing. Errr...keep it appropriate of course, and strictly no moshing." Yes Professor Gunter knew what moshing was and he would not let any pits open up on his dance floor.

"If you absolutely do not want to dance, I understand. All that I ask is that you stretch, walk around the floor, do jumping jacks, run in place, doesn't matter. What is most important is that you move, and loosen up. Movement is key." He looked around to the class once more to take in their faces."I promise it will all make perfect sense once the party ends, and we move on to the full lesson."

With that. Professor Gunter turned his attention toward the band that was tuning itself. He swished his wand a few times (once for each instrument) as they all started to play some rave and sweet party songs. Oakey bopped his head a bit. Oh yeah, this was good song and he was going to get dancing. He tapped his feet a bit then really got going once the chorus really picked up.

________

OOC: WHOA huh Mini Activity RIGHT OFF THE BAT!? ...Yeah. Just as Professor Gunter asked of your students.
  • Go ahead and Dance.
  • Find a partner or 2. Dance together, or alone if that's their style.
  • Let them express themselves how they want on the Dance Floor.
  • If not Dancing, Stretch, or Walk around the Dance Floor.
  • You have to be moving
  • Keep the dances SS appropriate of course.
The Class will move on from there on May 18th Mid Afternoon-ish


This class...was definitely a class she never knew what to expect and Gunter didn't disappoint. Right off the bat he starts with a...Dance...Party? Huh...interesting...Way to take people out of their comfort zones right away. She held back a laugh from watching him trip a bit when he reached the dance floor she wasn't sure if it was on purpose or he was trying to keep everyone in the class in good spirits. Either way...it was pretty funny. Pulling her hair up into a messy bun, she looks around as people partnered up and the Seventh Year just shrugged and thought to herself, Who needs a dancing partner anyways...let's go dance...wow I am talking to myself a lot lately... She takes a step forward, but she freezes. She wanted to go to the dance floor...she wanted to make her way over to it, but something stopped her. Herself. Was she actually feeling embarrassed of doing this? But why? Just let yourself go! Live your life. Once again, she saw Gunter on the dance floor...I think it was...flailing with style...and feeling the music. It was definitely dance moves she had not seen before but she was entertained.

She heard the music begin to play and at first, she looked to her Professor with his choice of music. "Huh...definitely wouldn't have thought you would pick music like this, Professor, but I'm not complaining!" She said with a light smile and then brought her attention to the dance floor. Starting to see some student make their way towards it, she sighs, shook her hands, shaking off the nerves, and closed her eyes for a moment to calm herself down and tried to talk to herself to get her out there before she just pushed forward letting the music take control and walk over to the dance floor, slightly swaying the hips and moving to the music. Why did I even throw my hair up? This has to come down! and after thinking that, she let her hair fall down and she moved a little more moving to the music whipping her head from side to side and chuckling to herself just having the time of her life in the class not really caring about anyone judging her on her dancing or looking at her weird. The Seventh Year was just Living Her LIFE!!

Well, a class setting wasn't exactly the ideal location for a dance party, but Ivy enjoyed dancing so she wasn't going to complain. She also wasn't going to go crazy with dance moves though - that little Hufflepuff Scarlett seemed to have that covered.

Instead she swayed to the music, tapping her foot to the beat. Nothing too much yet, just kinda warming up. And then she noticed fellow fourth year Violet standing still. "C'mon, Violet, join us!" She smiled. "It's not so bad!"

With a quick hello Tad went to sit by Lia and his other friends. Hey Lia, do you think we're dancing or so?" He had no clue but he had some dancing lessons to his parents dinner parties they had. He was no stranger in dancing what so ever, but he really didn't like it much, well the type of boring dancing he was taught. Although he wondered why the dancing though, was something coming up like a tournament against the others school or so? Or was this just for lessons purposes only? He had so many questions forming in his head that he was confused by everything.


Hearing Professor Gunter say they were dancing he shrugged, hm.... dancing now this was his type of lesson, no books and boring lectures. Looking at Lia he smiled. "Would you like to dance m'lady?" He asked bowing like his parents taught him to do and for kicks. Seeing Atlas getting slap by the hair his eyes widened. " Oh gosh mate, are you okay?" He knew that had to hurt.

dancing alone... join me?
 
Charlie glanced around at the people were dancing. She was 100% not sure she wanted to actually be dancing. But running, jumping jacks, or something that wild. She decided that at least swaying side to side might be best for her. Right? She at least had sensible shoes on but they were still stylish. Watching everyone else around she tried to figure out if someone didn't have a partner that she could dance with or at least lessen the awkward.

It had gotten her through all of the best times in her life and many many sad and tough times too. If the entirety of the lesson contained music she was going to be fully focused the entire time.

Barely had the lesson even began and the professor went down. Right down like he had two left feet. OUCH! Lia's eyes grew wide. "Are you alright, Sir?" That fall didn't look very pleasant but Gunter was back up on his feet like nothing had happened.

Oooooh!

They were starting off with dancing! Sure she wasn't the greatest dancer every but she wasn't absolute horrible either. Normally she danced for fun though. A little bit of dance, a little gymnastics and some martial arts tossed in made for some interesting times when she was younger. As for selecting a partner..

Dahlia glanced at Apollo who she had noticed stand beside her before the lesson had even begun. "Want to be partners?" Since they were already standing near each other it only made sense to partner up.

Well this ancient runes class was off to quite the start. Apollo bit down on his lower lip to hold himself from snickering when Gunter tripped over his own feet. Well.... he guessed Gunter wasn't about to be teaching them any choreography. Also, what was moshing? Was that a term he should know? He squinted over at Lia, shrugging slightly. Uhhh.... what was that Hufflepuff doing??? Running into his dormmate and Quinn?? Whipping her hair around?? Um...At least some of the other first years seemed to be respecting boundaries and not going super wild.

As for his own dance skills, he wasn't a professional dancer and would definitely not be slow dancing, but he was all about having a good time and moving. Breakdancing, perhaps if the right song played. He looked over to Lia again who he only realized now had asked him a question. Pardon him if he was distracted slightly by that wild Hufflepuff.

That was when someone decided to completely ignore him as if he was invisible and just speak to Lia, asking her to dance. "Uh, excuse you, Tad. Lia was just about to start dancing with me first." He extended his hand to the ravenclaw. "But I suppose we could do a circle group dance?" He wasn't a slow dance kind of person and even if Tad had only focused on Lia, he wasn't going to exclude him.
