Grayson just wanted to be able to actually do stuff. She hadn't intended to make a spectacle or anything. It wasn't like she thought being more dressed up was bad, like how Raven was. She just couldn't get herself to do so without feeling stupid. And like she had to act like a lady. That was one thing apparently she needed to learn from the Slytherin. But she grinned as Raven spoke. "The ball, the being dressed up or actually planning on causing chaos at some big event?," she asked, a little facetiously. Besides, maybe if she sounded like she was joking, anyone who might be listening might think she actually was. "Of course you did. That's why we're awesome." They got out of trouble without difficulty. And her eyes sparkled mischievously again as another secret message or something appeared. Yay. Moving slightly closer, she glanced at it before nodding as Raven spoke again. "The more the merrier," she said simply in response. Definitely more fun.

Marco frowned slightly as someone waved at him. Then it hit him. He recognised that face. He waved back, rather enthusiastically. "Sevens you old dog. It has been a while. 6, 7 years?" Oh how good it was to see a friendly face. There were far too many little people hanging around. "The students have gotten smaller. That much has changed. But not a lot else it would seem. Do you think Max still teaches?" It had been a long time, so he had probably retired by now.

Oh how he missed the place, and it was good to be back.


Another person saying hello. This time he did not recognise the face. Maybe she was a fan. Oh well, be kind. "Hey there. It is good to be back, don't you think?" Names would come later. Maybe that would jog his memory.


Marco's breathe caught in his chest. That voice still made him feel like a little boy. "Professor Erikson, Sir." He span round to see it was actually him. That guy was still huge, even if Marco had grown since. He still had that menacing thing going on, that Marco remembered. Even his smirk was evil.

Hadley giggled as Colby pulled his confused face. "Pulchritudinous." she repeated as he couldn't say the word. "It means handsome." Or at least that's what she thought it meant. Good thing he didn't know the word, just in case that's not what it meant.

She smirked as she was asked the question of what he would do without her. "Well, you would probably misplace your head, and leave you walking around looking like a fool." But still, even if he was a fool without a head, she would love him all the same.

"Shoes are very important, you know." she pouted a bit, "The wrong pair could ruin the whole outfit." And that would leave her walking around like a fool. "What my sister doesn't know is that I am keeping them, since they look better on me anyway." She once again showed him the shoes. Yeah, they were so hers now!

"Yes, we shall." she smiled, taking his arm and leading them inside.

Drago looked over and smiled. It felt strangely good to see his old students again. "Tag! A sight for sore eyes. How have you been? Not cutting off circulation to any more body parts, I hope." He smirked. Did the boy even remember that?

I cannot believe I agreed to go to this. Francesca Clairmonte wasn't exactly sure how long it had been since she left Hogwarts but she knew it was a very long time ago. The place almost looked exactly the same as she had left it, but she definitely didn't look the same. The days of pixie cut short hair and combat boots were behind her. In fact they had been gone for quite some time. Not to say that she didn't have that world famous temper anymore. She just used other methods to express it. She was a lot more mature than she was when she roamed the halls of Hogwarts with her two friends at the time. If she actually saw anyone she went to school with, she'd be in shock. Most of the people here looked younger than her which made her want to sink into the floor.

Maddie turned to face Timothy, blushing as he kissed her hand. His robes looked good on im, she thought. 'Oh, you're not late' she said, smiling 'Don't worry about it!' she smiled again and took his arm 'Do you want to go in?'

Iris grinned and nodded at Fallon, "Yeah maann. It's totally awesome." Happy Grin. hehehe.

The Slytherin nodded, "Uh huh. It sure will."

"Dare you to do it. Seriously. I DARE you to do it at some point tonight." Iris said, with a cheeky grin. It would be hilarious to watch. >:D

Iris grinned and chuckled at Satine, and turned around in a little circle for her Eagle friend, showing her the whole dress. "Aww. hehe. Thanks, Satine!" She said to the purple-haired girl.

"Well... I personally, had figured that." Iris looked at Satine and stuck her tongue out. "But you really do look very pretty. The dress really suits you."

Iris Looked away from Satine as she caught sight of a LOT of polka dots trying to get past them, from the corner of her eye. She looked over to the polka's and grinned. Then she laughed. Very loudly. "OI!! JIMBO!" Iris yelled and motioned for him to come over. (She totally didn't hear that other girl address him.) "Jimbo, Get your polka-dotted butt over here!"

With a partially embarrassed grin on her face, Iris looked at Fallon, "Fallon. THAT over there, is Jimbo." She then looked at Satine, who didn't know anything about Jimbo at all, other than that right now, he was in green polka dots. "Jimbo's my friend. He's a bit of a nutter, and likes polka dots. A lot." The slytherin girl grinned at her two friends and then looked over to Jimbo, to see if he was coming over to them yet.

Drew pulled his hand back and heard Emiliano wanting a dance from Annie. Ohhhh of course he did! But he was famillllly it wasn't like they could say no. He nodded. "Yeah of course." He said.

Drew followed Annie has she pulled him kind of having to step side step to keep up with her. He just kind of waved to Emiliano before having to turn around to prevent himself from falling. "In a bit of a rush." He teased Annie.

Violet was a little hyper now and turned around to see Dillon. "Thanks! Come on I wanna see something." she said and started heading towards the Dance floors, thats where Evan was.

As Josh was more of a physical being despite the Ravenclaw's mind he had, he felt like he got a little bit more nervous yet happy as Evelyn touched his hair fighting with its still messy parts. Forgetting about the hair, he quickly thought that it could be taken as a sign that the Slytherin girl liked him back since she would not touch something or someone she disliked. Esepcially not Evelyn as far as the boy knew her. But on the other hand a close friend would do the same too.

When the girl seemed to look at some other spot, Josh snapped out of those thoughts and he looked around as well ''Well, that line thing looks like...'' and...there was his friend Patroclus coming towards them. Josh greeted the boy with a nod and a smile but he realised that he felt a little bit annoyed that he WOWed at Evelyn. But no no no! There was no need to be jealous. Patroclus was his friend. ''Sure, mate'' therefore he replied. ''You can join us'' and he needed not to be dateless. There was always Destiny. Hehehehehe.

She might as well have said lets jump in a cauldron full of boiling cheese as far as he was concerned, but he did follow her out onto the dance floor. "I've got a corsage for you," he told her showing her the pink and black flower that would fit around her thin wrist.

Timothy nodded, "Why yes, of course. We had better get a good place to dance in the hall right?"

He grinned and walked her, arm in arm to the dance hall.

She was used to the barbs coming from Hawk and laughed softly. "What am I going to do with you? Lead the way."

Kay kept her composure as Hawk pulled her over to where Tag was standing with his date. She remembered that Tag always had some critter with him and with an experienced eye, she looked him up and down. He had grown into a nice looking young man, but she had always thought he'd been a cute little kid back in school who had a knack for causing trouble. Nothing appears to be moving in his pockets . . . but it's kinda hard to tell because he's moving!

"Why, thank you Tagren. You look handsome tonight," Kay replied pleasantly and turned to meet his date. However at that moment, Tag blew the introduction.

Helena knew there was truth to the joke that Chris made of it, so she merely said, Yeah, with a small, brief smile. She rolled her eyes with a grin, however, when he called her by her surname. I bought a painting in this old antique shop i found and I wasn't paying attention when I was bringing it into my apartment. She sighed and then chuckled. Typical clumsy her.

So she was a bit late. Whoops. Wasn't her fault Tammy insisted on helping her pack and she couldn't find any of her shoes apart from her sneakers and yeah, she was pretty sure not wearing sneakers everywhere was included in maturing, right ? At least she wasn't majorly late. She walked into the inside ballroom. Wow, everyone looked so pretty. She needed to find someone to talk to. She'd find someone sooner or later, hopefully sooner. She took a few steps forward before looking around somemore.

Suddenly Lima got distracted by someone with brown hair. Someone that she hadn't seen in ages and missed very much.

"Shana Miller!" she called out excitedly as she started waving. The girl had better notice her, or she would look like a total idiot.

Deciding to, ignore, her thoughts, Evelyn smiled sweetly before replying. "Thank you. You don't look too bad yourself." Snickering, the Slytherin was actually very intrigued with his outfit. They totally could've semi-matched if she had worn her white dress like previously planned. But that wasn't what was on her mind at the moment. The fact that she matched Josh was though...

Hehe.

"Oh I know." she nodded, looking through the giant doors to see the decorations they had put up. Everything looked brilliant of course. "And hopefully none of it gets ruined." she added at the end before looking back to the two Gryffindors.

Hmm? Dateless wonder? Patroclus? He didn't have a date? "Well, of course you can." she said, the smile reappearing on her face once again before looking at Josh. "Right?"

“Thanks guys, I would look tragic walking in alone!” as he smiled at Evelyn’s comment, he felt all thrown together, but hey He was here to have fun, not to worry about looking good. The other students were heading in through the door, to what was the Receiving Section. There were a few unfamiliar grown ups about, obviously the alumni he thought to himself.
“Do you too know any returning students?” He asked Josh and Evelyn, “My brother was home-schooled so I know no one!”
The night was falling so they had better get inside to kick it off in style, “Shall we enter and see our work in the flesh?” He smiled, really he just wanted to dance and eat!

It was Boogie time!

Suddenly there was a shout, not a normal shout, but the shout of her name. She looked around, lets hope no one else was called Shana Miller. She then saw someone with blonde hair waving. She skipped over and then realised it was Lima. "LIMA!LIMA!LIMAAA!" she yelled on her way.

Emiliano watched them walk away from him. He knew he had upset Annie. A LOT. He gave Drew a small wave and then watched them starting to dance.

Annie turned back to her boyfriend he was about to fall. "I am soo sorry." She quickly apologized, ready to dance and keep up the posture. "It's just that I am forced to dance with Emiliano, it's not my choice. Dad tells me that I should keep the family relations close...and well, Emiliano is being himself all over again, I just can't deal with that, yet." Really, not yet.

She giggled as Shana made her way over. She was so excited to see her. It had been so long, and she had missed her so much. But then having a baby could really do that. She hadn't been out properly in over a month. "How have you been?" she asked as she pulled the girl into a hug. And she wouldn't let go just yet. hehe.

Lima hugs. Yaaay. Lima was always the best at giving hugs. She hugged the older girl back before smiling up at her. "Ive been good thanks. How've you been ?" She hadn't seen Lima since like, um like ever. The slytherin took a step backwards to give Lima some personal space, she'd learnt a lot about that. "Did'ja know whattt. Im a fifth year now. Im all grown up and stuffs."

Len stepped into the Entrance hall, looking understandably dazzling. Understandably. Ah yes he was as big-headed as ever. Stepping into the Entrance Hall with the elegance that came so naturally to him he looked around for any signs of her.

Where was she?

"I've been good too. Busy." But she was so happy, so that didn't really matter to her. She smiled as the girl took a step back from her. "I know! It's amazing. But you're starting to grow up yourself." She nodded. It was amazing how fast time went. She still remembered when Shana was a First Year.

Good God, the idiot was as handsome as ever. Possible even more than the last time she had seen him, though Gold knew that wasn't actually possible. Stepping into the light, when she caught sight of him, she gave him a pretty smile and walked up to him.

"'Evening, amigo."

She kissed him on both cheeks, and then stepped back to survey him through bright, silver-green eyes. Silver-green for tonight, of course. Delicious spellwork.

Evening? He was the best thing since sliced cheese and that was all she had to say to him? Len inclined his head, noting the silver in her eyes. Charming. Then again he would have expected it of her.

"More beautiful than ever, I see."
