Originally Posted by Nabs Nikolai's lazy gaze roamed the room and he spotted several familiar faces, none that he really wanted to talk to though. Well, there was Nico Toussaint, but his best friend's younger brother was hardly someone he missed. He'd probably see the young man at yet another gathering in a few days anyway.
"You know what they say..." he drawled in an undertone as they passed a tray of pastries in an oddly garish colour, "Those who can't do..."
With a smirk, he picked up a shiny, fat strawberry and dipped it in the bowl of chocolate before lifting it to Willow's lips. The sight of guests that she could recognize as former Hufflepuffs left a slightly bitter taste on her tongue and it made her want to grab her beater club and beat, not only bludgers, but several other inanimate objects, too. Repeatedly. That thought, along with the sight of some Ravenclaws, were pleasant enough that they brought a smile to her face. But the smile didn't last much, and it actually became a peal of laughter, at Nikolai's attempt to feed her strawberries.
Because this was obviously meant to be taken as a joke. Obviously. Since of course, the sole thought of anyone honestly thinking that Willow Kovac would let anyone feed her anything was unacceptable.
With the aid of her index finger and her thumb, Willow daintily plucked the strawberry out of his fingers. "If you are trying to be charming, Nikolai Vannacutt," Began the young woman, with a grin that was not far from being a smirk, "I think you might have to try a bit harder." And then she bit down on the strawberry and licked her lips to get rid off some of the chocolate.

Nikolai's smirk grew into an actual smile and he licked off the residue of chocolate from his fingers as he watched her. She was just SO untouchable that it was all too adorable. The whole stay-away attitude only served as a COME HERE sign for Nikolai. Really. He was horrid at reading signs.
"To be absolutely honest, I simply wanted to have you eat it out of my hands." He shrugged and inclined his head towards the punch bowl.
PUNCH.
If anything was needed to remind him he was at a school event, it was that. "Shall I fetch you something to drink?" It would also give them an opportunity to greet their old Flying Instructor.

| Wowza! Willow Kovac praised herself of knowing many things, of all kinds of area of study, even if they had nothing to do with Quidditch. Many of those things had been forced on her (Herbology, Magical Creatures, Business Management), but she'd come to terms with the fact that they would, at some point, come in handy.
What she did NOT understand, however, were the males. And she didn't PRETEND to, either, which explained why she did not know what to make of Nikolai Vannacutt at all. As it was, she pretended to be busy with her strawberry when her first comment reached her ears. She licked off some chocolate off her index, and then gave him a look, "That would be nice," even if PUNCH didn't sound particularly appealing to her. "Have you spotted anyone you are familiar with yet?"
She had. But they were all people she did not care to greet. "And I swear professor Vindictus has not aged since I last saw him." Maximus Vindictus was ageless, clearly. And handsome. Kind of old, too.

Looking around them, but not making much of an effort to look beyond the next three people within their vicinity, Nikolai shrugged, "There are a few..." he honestly didn't give a damn, though, "as for Vindictus..."
He leaned in towards Willow, his lips brushing her hair as he stage whispered, "I've always suspected him of employing glamour charms."
It wouldn't come as much of a surprise if the older man did so. His hair had an oddly shiny sheen to it.

| Wowza! Funny how it'd only taken Willow to set a foot back in the school to feel as though she were still a student, and two long years had not in fact passed. It wasn't hard to feel this, really, if members of the opposite sex still insisted on invading and disrespecting your personal space.
It was almost funny. Almost.
But they were in public and they were people standing close enough that they could hear their conversation if they wanted to. Kovac held very still, and pretended to not be at all bothered by this.
"If that is true, I can't say I'm not disappointed." It was hard to imagine Vindictus resorting to such methods, but then again... vanity was something that usually lived inside Quidditch players, was it? She would know. "And did I ever mention how large my personal space bubble is? Because it is indeed big." Hint, hint.

He stuck his left foot in. And then he stuck his left foot out.
He stuck his left foot in. And thennnnnn.... he shook it all about.
And then he started hopping on one foot again. Wow.
Just wow.
A paper cup to the face really DOES make one smarter! Carter was now as smart as Destiny was since he had TOTALLY figured out how she was going to make it rain chocolate. "I wasn't going to splash it though." she smirked before glancing over to the fountain. She was going to grab another cup of chocolate and just pour it over his head..totally different than splashing it.
Turning back to Carter, her eyes widened as he stuck his foot in, took it out, stuck it back in and then started to shake it. She was tempted to do it with him until he started hopping around.
Sweet Merlin! This dance was dangerous! "CARTER! You stubbed your toe!"
They needed a Healer..again.

So far, this Alumni Ball had been a disaster. No date, no friend, no fun. Nothing. So far, all these people kissing and dancing had only made her cry. Chelle had come here to get something to eat for herself. She spotted something that looked like Biryani. Why, it was biryani! She immediately filled her plate with the rice and pieces of chicken. Aymaan'a mum used to cook biryani every Sunday, and she used to go to their place for lunch. This was great, just great!

He still hadn't gone to the dance floor. No, he walked in, saw the food and walked right past the floor. He had stood staring at the table for a full five minutes before he decided what he wanted to eat first. And boy, was it good.
But he was starting to get weird looks from people and it wasn't letting him eat in peace. Any more of this and he'd be packing up his food and moving elsewhere.
Seriously, how rude.
Walking around through the mass of people and eating her tacos, Leilani somehow manages to bump into Jimbo attempting to stuff four doughnuts in his mouth. Sigh. When would he learn?
By this point, she was used to his unnatural eating habits. And the fact that he ate. Alot. She poked him. "Is it just me, or is it weird to be eating tacos at a formal event?" She asked.
It was true but they were so. Freaking. Good!! Yeah, Leilani was totally serving tacos at her wedding. Tacos and Romanian cake. Mmmmm.

She laughed light-heartedly at her joke. "Sure why not," Patroclus smiled, he had had way to much food already and a little breather before hitting the dance fall would be good for him.

Delilah looked up and down the food table. She was thinking about retiring early and going up to her room to read. So far she hadn't spotted any of her friends, she had no date, and these silver heels were killing her. She straightened out her dress and sighed to herself. She picked up a butterbeer and watched the people dancing.

He grabbed some more shrimp. You could never have enough shrimp. He munched on them quite happily. Secretly he wondered what they would taste like dipped in chocolate. Nah he wouldn't.

There were plenty of medical potions that could be tweaked to fit the unique circumstances of broom testing.
"Yeah, Anna Greingoth..." No he was not going to call her Anna Greingoth-Newell. It didn't suit her. Her hair wasn't nearly THAT terrible. "After she graduated I hired her on and we worked so well together we went into partnership." He made a mental note to send her some information about the company.
"I should really find my date, maybe you'll save me a dance, Tommy?"
She smiled back at him. "Yes I am." she agreed. She couldn't have imagined herself in any other house. That would have been dreadful for her.
Tommy picked up a strawberry and took a bite of it. "Well you see we aren't charming the brooms. Its the actual wood." She didn't want to give away their trade secrets so she stopped talking before she did. "The brooms are a bit more powerful than simply carrying a potion, but we will work out the kinks." She told him. She wanted to topple Firebolt and this broom series was going to do it.
She nodded. Yeah she knew who Anna was. It wasn't that she disliked the girl, Anna just irritated her. It must be exhausting being her all day long it certainly was for Tommy when she was around her. "Ahhh well that certainly was nice. I'm sure you two together make quite the team. Mr. and Mrs. Hogwarts." she couldn't help that last dig. It was funny to her.
Tomasina looked at him. A sad smile on her face. "If you have time for me." she bowed her head slightly and turned and disappeared onto the dance floor.

As Delanie approached the table, she nearly frowned. No cupcakes! Oh well. They had some yummy looking fruit and chocolate to dip it in. She got a plate and put some of that on it. Once she got all of her food, she waited for Cody so they could go find somewhere to sit together.
She couldn't believe they were already back to normal, as if nothing had even happened. See, they really were meant to be. Everything just fell into place for them.

Lexi continued to shove chocolate in her mouth at an alarming rate as she listened to Dylan speak. " You should do! First match of the season. You could come root on Gryffindor for me," she said around a mouthful of food. It was probably not a nice sight to behold... but oh well.
" What a pathetic pair we are. We come here together, both get shot down and are now by the food table shoving our faces full of goodies," she said miserably.

Cody followed Delanie over to the food table. His mouth dropped open at the spread, mmm, all the food looked so yummy! And now, he was ready to pig out! Following Dee's lead, Code grabbed a plate, filling it high with pumpkin pasties and fruit.
He was in heaven.

For a second or two, Lexi wondered what Sage was like when he wasn't so awkward-acting and shy. Maybe...what he was like when he was around his parents or brother and sisters. Surely he wasn't so embarrassed around them, so---what was Sage like when he was more outgoing? It was sort of like...a mystery to her.
Having been lost in thought about Sage and how outgoing he may or may not be, Lexi blinked and her eyes flickered back to the food table. What were they discussing? Oh, yes---yorkshire pudding! "Oh, really? Hmm...maybe I'll try it then," she said, picking up a piece and taking a bite out of it. "Mmm...it's good." She laughed a little as she licked her lips and finished off the bite she'd just taken. "The rest of it looks good, too, but I'm not really hungry for a meal," she said, eying some international dish that looked like fried rice and chicken. Fried chicken? In this dress? No way, she thought to herself, turning to face the opposite direction. "So, anything else catch your eye?" she asked, scanning the room. Sage watched on as Lexi had a taste of the yorkshire puddings, nodding when she said it was good. He would've lived off yorkshire pudding if his mother had let him. "Only other thing that catches my attention is the fountain," he grinned in an un-Sage manner as he moved for it, strawberry already in hand.
Yummy.
He dipped it in and took a bite, savouring the deliciousness. "Heaven," he said, checking and double checking that none had dribbled down his chin. The short trousers were bad enough.
"Have you still not seen anyone that you recognise?" He asked casually, before taking another strawberry bite and glancing around.

"Mm, that's a good drink. You should try some, Max. I like furry creatures with the cute little whiskers, you know? And...the ears that like...twitch when you poke 'em. Have you met Jadyn, Max? You should come meet Jadyn some time. I think she's going to be a quidditch player one day. I like pie. Do you like pie?" He gave them all a very SERIOUS look as he raised the glass and took another drink. "Good stuff." Quote:

The one she had quite obviously not put anything into, seeing as even he should know she wasn't stupid enough to give herself a potion. But he was obviously wanting to check it, and she was willing to let him. Besides, the willingness worked in her favor, with her innocent act. A guilty person wouldn't give themselves up that easily. As he took her glass, she dropped her hand to watch him as he investigated her innocent glass of pumpkin juice. Totally innocent, and she kept up her wide-eyed act as he didn't find anything.
As he suggested Mr. Masterson drink it, her eyes flickered over to the groundskeeper as he obliged Professor Vindictus. Knowing nothing was in her juice since she knew she hadn't put anything in the glass. She'd been drinking it, for Merlin's sake, and that sent her back into wondering if she'd ended up in some bizarre dimension or something. And that feeling heightened as he stared into the glass, then completely started talking craziness. "Um, Mr. Masterson? Are you okay?," she asked, completely staring at him in shock. She totally hadn't put anything in that glass, so either her potion was way better than she'd thought and it could work without someone actually drinking it, or Professor Vindictus was sneakier than she'd've thought her head of house should be. And if it was really the latter, she almost started idolizing him a little. Max saw that Neo had sat down a glass of pumpkin juice BEFORE taking the confiscated one from him. But it didn't register in his mind at all.
One sip out of the new goblet and the groundskeeper was talking gibberish. He snatched the goblet out of Neo's hand and took a sip.
It tasted normal. "Well, this tastes normal," he replied sheepishly and reached for the unspiked pitcher of pumpkin juice. Vindictus refilled the goblet and handed it back to Grayson. "Sorry about that, Grayson. Headmaster Tate told us to keep an eye out for trouble." Yeah, maybe the shadows were playing tricks on my eyes. A Ravenclaw, not including myself, would never resort to any bad behavior at an important function.
Then from a distance, he saw a familiar face. "Willow Kovac!"

Yeah, maybe the shadows were playing tricks on my eyes. A Ravenclaw, not including myself, would never resort to any bad behavior at an important function.
Then from a distance, he saw a familiar face. "Willow Kovac!" Tagren wove his way through the crowd towards the tables, where Professor Vindictus was conversing with several adults he assumed were current professors, as he didn't recognize them. "Hail Chief of the Pitch!," Tag called, approaching the Quidditch master with a grin. "I hope I'm not interrupting. I couldn't pass up the chance to come say hello, Mister V." He nodded respectfully to the other professors, some of whom were wearing strange expressions. Had they eaten something spoiled? Tag scanned the nearby table quickly. Eh. Looked okay to him!
Piling on a plateful of chocolate strawberries and iced pumpkin tarts, Tag suddenly turned around to see who Vindictus was calling out to. Willow Kovac!? No, it couldn't be. Not . . . hoooly crap. Tag's jaw dropped. Willow had--changed. Firstly, she was a woman, apparently. Secondly, she was wearing a dress, which were not exactly the same as a Quidditch uniform. Third--she was being escorted by a man who was entirely too old for her.
Ah! At least she was wearing that same scowling expression. Now that he recognized.

He nodded respectfully to the other professors, some of whom were wearing strange expressions. Had they eaten something spoiled? Tag scanned the nearby table quickly. Eh. Looked okay to him!

Ah! At least she was wearing that same scowling expression. Now that he recognized. Vindictus wasn't the only one who noticed that Willow was with an older man. A man who sort of resembled an acquaintance from his former professional days. Why would a Vannacutt lower themselves to attend a Hogwarts function? I thought Andrei's family was strictly Durmstrang. If the man was who he thought he was, Willow had better have her bat ready.
Another voice - albiet a familiar voice - snapped him back to attention.
Ignoring Neo, Max stepped to one side and held his hand out, palm side up. "Give me five, Sevens!" he exclaimed. "It's good to see you, my boy! Good to see you! So, tell me what's going on with you so that I don't have to rely on rumors." Wink. Wink.

Willow boldly looked at Nikolai Vannacutt and raised her eyebrows at him, this time not bothering to smile, grin or smirk. Her personal space bubble was serious business indeed, and not everyone got to trespass it without suffering the consequences.
She was saved from replying to Nikolai Vannacutt, however, when a very familiar voice reached her ears, and in spite of herself, because she was meant to appear serious, smiled at her old professor. She tugged at Nikolai's arm indicating him that it was time to mingle and walk towards the Flying instructor. "Professor Vindictus! It's been a long time! I trust you are doing alright?" Nevermind he was no longer her professor - it would be strange to call him otherwise. She nodded her head politely at Mr. Masterson, greeting him, and, whoaaaaaaaa.
It was Tagren Sevens, and suddenly, in spite of being almost twenty years old, Willow was feeling like her old scrawny, short and anti-social twelve year old self all over again. Good to know that only one of those things had changed. "Hi, Captain."

Yummy.
He dipped it in and took a bite, savouring the deliciousness. "Heaven," he said, checking and double checking that none had dribbled down his chin. The short trousers were bad enough.
"Have you still not seen anyone that you recognise?" He asked casually, before taking another strawberry bite and glancing around. "Hmm, I've already had a strawberry..., but not a strawberry dipped in chocolate," she said, following Sage's lead and reaching for a strawberry. She dipped it in the fountain, as well, waited until it was good and chocolate-y, then removed it. It was literally dripping with chocolate, which just screamed the word calories, but only one wouldn't hurt.
She took a bite, muttering, "Mmm..." as she did so. A little bit of chocolate may have dripped off her strawberry and onto what she hoped was anything but her date, but Lexi couldn't be sure. Hopefully it hadn't been her dress! "This is amazing..." "Huh? Oh, erm, I don't know, actually," she said, finishing off the last of her strawberry. She'd actually been giving most of her attention to helping Sage have as good of a time as possible---at his first ball ever---so she really hadn't given much thought to a reunion with friends. "Well, I did see this Slytherin boy---or, man now---I used to date back in my fifth and sixth years. He was dancing with a woman I'm guessing is now his wife," she said. "Oh, and a few of the girls I graduated with are here, too. I saw them in the---ladies room---earlier."
