He cleared his throat.
"... do you two need a hand?" Or a towel.
He glanced at Marie again, having not let her go even if they'd stopped dancing. "To fetch things. To distract people." Fun things like that. "And of course you will, assuming you like the idea of spending more time with me after tonight." Grin.
He was caught a touch off guard at the... sincerity, yeah, the sincerity of her err... apology. So much so that he blinked a few times once she'd released him and managed, "...You're forgiven. Merlin." Grin. Reluctantly he turned his attention back to the jelly girls, but didn't let go of Marie.
"Well a monkey is definitely different." He was the first person she ever knew to have one as a pet, that's for sure. Following his gaze when he looked around she immediately noticed...
Destiny, and she was DEAD... AGAIN!
Really, how many times can a person die in one term? Apparently a lot if you are Destiny Shepard.
Now back to Jimmy... and his monkey. "Hmm, spend more time with you after tonight? You sure do ask for a lot from a girl. I'll have to think about that one." She said. She then pretended to think about it for a minute, or maybe it was just a few seconds. "Okay, I think I like that idea." Actually she KNEW she liked that idea but no need in letting him know that.
Watching his reaction to her apology she couldn't help but grin at him. It seemed as if he figured out just how sincere she was. Maybe she was a little too sincere since he was actually forgiving her. "Well now, I guess I'm going to have to find something else to apologize for later since you have forgiven me already." Yeah, she totally planned on there being a later with him.

Mia wasn't sure exactly what was wrong with Destiny.
"Maybe we should call Fletcher over. He'd have her cleaned up in no time."
Or maybe the TWT champion only likes three day old food.
She looked back at her friends just in time to see Mia poking Destiny. Hehe, Marie remembered what happened to her last term when Destiny pretended to be dead. She ended up tied to her for almost the whole term... thanks to Lawson wanting to teach them a lesson. "Umm Mia, I wouldn't poke her if I was you." You never know what might happen if you do... or was that only if you sprayed water in her face?
It didn't look like it mattered now though since Destiny was ALIVE again. "Welcome back to the land of the living... again, Destiny." Really, this was like the twelfth time her friend had died since she had known her.
She looked back at Jimmy. "Well I'm glad to see our friends are getting along."
Selena frowned. "But someone can be tough and a complete peabrain and not get the role," she pointed out. Plus it would be kinda awesome if Diggy did get Quidditch Captainn.
She was completely nervous now, why did he make this seem like such a bad thing. She was worried, did he not like her anymore? She relaxed a bit when he said that everything was fine but for some reason she was still nervous. He took out a tiny little box and Selena was quiet.
Her heart was racing and she was pretty sure that was all she could hear and she was panicking! Why was she panicking? She felt so nervous as she looked at the little box. "I..." she started, her mouth felt dry and some tears seemed to be pricking at her eyes and she knew that they were tears of joy. "Thank you," Selena practically whispered as a tear slipped from her violet eyes. Her hand reached up slowly and she picked it up, looking at it with a mixture of happiness, lovestruckness, and shock.
Diggy thought about what she said. There were a few peabrains out there, but Diggy was sure he wasn't going to be picked to be captain. "It would be nice to be picked but I really don't think it will happen." he didn't want to get his hopes up after all.
He held his breath as she looked down at his hand. He was scared she would refuse him, or get scared and break up with him. He really wished he had gotten that letter back from his dad, but it was too late now to take back the box. "I promise to love you and save myself only for you." He opened the box. It was a simple silver band. He knew she wouldn't want anything flashy like a diamond or anything. He slid the ring on her slim ring finger on her left hand. He smiled and wiped the tear from her cheek. "I hope these are happy tears," he said with a nervous chuckle.

For the love of Merlin, please don't let Nikolai be seeing this.
Turning to see if Destiny was alright, Mia blinked a couple of times.
Where did she go?
She looked down to see the girl on the floor.
What the...?

Yeah. She knew.

But dead people can't write and they don't own owls..
Hearing someone speak, though, she peeked open an eye and when she saw who was speaking, she closed it real fast. Like she would want a hand from the Violator. Made no sense.
She'd just ignore him..because she was dead.
Not the poking!! Anything but the poking!
As Mia went and poked her in the ribs, Destiny started to squirm away..which was much easier now that the floor was covered in jelly and..she was not cleaning up the mess! Maybe if she left it there, she'd get lucky and Noel's date would walk in it and slip!
But that was mean, so she wasn't really thinking that..but..she really was.
Still squirming away from the poking, because there was nothing strange about a dead person squirming, her eyes POPPED open at what Mia said to the Violator. No way! That was just..EWW! Fletcher with the swishy hair was not going anywhere near her, no thank you.
Sitting up, she stretched her arms up over her head. "It's a MIRACLE! I'm alive!"
And still covered in jelly. Eww.
... ?
James turned his head and raised one eyebrow at Marie when her friend... was she ignoring him? Something. At least she wasn't calling him a stalker like the other one liked to, he supposed.
He stepped back a bit, avoiding the crud on the floor but not too bothered about it. Like he'd said, he could always make it go away.
"...Praise be." He agreed. "I mean, I was thinking for a second there that I'd have to carry you all the way up to the hospital wing." Which would suck because it'd have interrupted Marie time. "Firemans hold." He added, straight faced.
SPOILER!!: Marie

"He's great. You'll love him. " Jimmy did. Rufus was epic. Completely epic. He tugged Marie closer, arm comfortably around her waist.
"Right. More. I mean... its something I'd enjoy." Less people covered in food around though, maybe. This, if you counted the fact that Destiny and Mia were covered in jelly right now, was the second time he and Marie had been surrounded by bodies covered in... well, not quite edible, but goods that once were edible at least.
... jelly wrestling? Anyone?
He grinned, relieved. "I have a few ideas. Distractions and maybe even inspiration for all that studying I gotta do." OWLs and all.
More things to apologise for? Wellllllllll. That was promising. He couldn't help but speculate, even as he looked at the Jelly twins again, watching with about half of his attention, the rest was on Marie.
"Sure. It'd be nicer if your friends liked me though." James commented. He wasn't stupid, no matter how often he played dumb. Besides, as far as Mia went, well, she liked everyone pretty much.
especially good snoggers

Yeah. She knew.
Well that was all very good for Jimmy to say but he was obviously more adept at magic then Mia was. You only had to look at the jelly mess to know what she was talking about.
Well what she was thinking about.
Oh yes Mia got Jimmy's meaning loud and clear and had it been any other time she probably would have taken him up on that. But there was someone else who she would rather help her clean up.
Mia tipped him a wink and smiled, "I'm fine Jimmy. But I will definitely keep that in mind."

And then Marie was there and Mia had to do a double take at what her friend was wearing. She let out a low wolf whistle and grinned at the blond bombshell.
It was then that Mia realised that Marie and Jimmy were dressed similarly.
Oh!
OHHHH!!
Well, alright Marie.
Laughing a little a Marie's piece of advice, Mia continued to poke Destiny but gave her friend a 'thumbs up' sign with her free hand. Looks like Carter was now forgotten.

Mia KNEW the poking would work. Just about everyone she knew was ticklish in that particular spot. But if it hadn't worked then Mia would just have threatened to use more magic and we all knew how well the first spell worked.
But it seemed she didn't have to resort to such drastic measures, Destiny was now awake.
"Hallelujah!" She held out her jelly covered hand to Destiny. "Come on let's go get cleaned up before Fletcher does sniff us out and starts to get ideas."
Because Destiny had been lying on the floor and everyone knew that the Hufflepuff did like eating off the floor.

Glare.
No thank YOU, Mr. Violator. Destiny would rather lay on the floor dead. Not only was he the Violator (for Merlin's sake!!), if he had to carry her to the hospital wing, Marie would go all psychopath on her and really, dealing with that ONCE was way too many times, and yeah, Destiny liked her legs attached to her body.
She liked her head attached just as much.
"Yeah, praise be." And if she HAD to.. "Thank you for your offer of carrying me..fireman hold, though."
Even though she had no idea what a fireman was, but apparently they had their own special hold.

If Destiny could read minds, she would have corrected Marie and told her that she had only died about seven times since they met. Maybe eight, but really, she was not a cat, she didn't have to go around counting how many times she died. "I have a feeling you'll be in the land of the dead soon."
Really! How could the girl BREATHE? Her pants were almost as tight as Patroclus'.

Sweet Merlin! Some people acted like they never seen a person awake from the dead before. Well, if Mia hung around her more she would see it happen at least once a month. Maybe twice depending on what type of potion they brew in Lafay's class.
Grabbing Mia's very sticky and slippery hand, she hoisted herself up, maybe slipping and sliding a bit. Her shoes..obviously had no traction. She was going to stay covered in the jelly, something like a detective case at a donut factory gone wrong, but hearing the mention of Fletcher changed her mind. She did not want that swishy haired boy's nose anywhere near her! "Good thinking." she said before she started on her very slippery walk of shame towards the doors. "I thought you had summoned chocolate..not jelly!"
Who does THAT!?

Diggy thought about what she said. There were a few peabrains out there, but Diggy was sure he wasn't going to be picked to be captain. "It would be nice to be picked but I really don't think it will happen." he didn't want to get his hopes up after all.

He smiled and wiped the tear from her cheek. "I hope these are happy tears," he said with a nervous chuckle.
Selena bit her lower lip so she would burst into tears. He slid the ring onto her finger; the silver felt cool around her finger and it was simple. She wouldn't have it any other way. Was this really just a dream though? "I'll always love you and only you," she said quietly as a few more tears slipped from her eyes. She laughed at what he said and nodded. "Only those, Dillon Greenwood, only those," Selena said smiling.

They were in the middle of the dance floor and Selena was trying her best to keep from balling her eyes out and Diggy was standing there with a silly grin on his face. He was glad that no one was paying them any sort of attention. Granted they were two of the smallest people on the dance floor and people rarely looked down, but he was glad that they cold share that moment with each other and no one else. "Good," was his simple reply.
He smiled and pulled her in for a tight hug. "You hardly ever call me Dillon," he noted. Very few people did in fact. His mom was going to have a right fit when he told her what he had just done. But he was sure after she got over the shock she would be happy.

"Well if he's half as cute as his owner I'm sure I'll love him." she said as she put her arm around his waist too. Realizing what she had just said she felt her face getting warm. Hopefully he didn't think she was trying to say she loved him cuz clearly, that's not what she was saying. What she was saying was that she thought James was VERY cute and... oh forget it. She had embarrassed herself enough already, no need in doing anymore damage.
"Well more it is then. Who am I to keep you from something you'd enjoy?" She said giving him a little squeeze. Besides, she knew she would enjoy it even more if there weren't a bunch of food covered people around them taking Jimmy's attention from her.
She looked at him with a raised eyebrow when he said he had ideas. "Oh? I can hardly wait to see what these ideas of yours are," Although she had a pretty good idea of her own what he was thinking.
"Don't worry, they'll come around and realize what a great person you are." She leaned in and gave him another kiss. "Sorry about my friends." Yep, she had found another reason to apologize.
She then looked back over at Destiny. She better come around to realize how great he was. After all, she was friends with Carter now, and she didn't like him in the beginning. Wait, she doesn't want Destiny to be friends with him like Carter. She didn't want her giving Jimmy any love potions. "Um, I wouldn't suggest you eat or drink anything Destiny gives you." she told him. No, stay as far away from any food or drinks her friend may try to give him. Who knows what other crazy potions her grandmother had stored away.
SPOILER!!: Mia

Hearing Mia whistle Marie once again felt her cheeks grow warm. "Err, thanks Mia." she said. Wait, was that whistle for her or for Jimmy? Maybe Mia was whistling at his outfit instead of hers. Eh, it didn't matter, she was getting a thumbs up from her so she knew Mia approved of her date, even if Destiny didn't.
SPOILER!!: She's ALIVE!

She did not want that swishy haired boy's nose anywhere near her! "Good thinking." she said before she started on her very slippery walk of shame towards the doors. "I thought you had summoned chocolate..not jelly!"
Who does THAT!?
Really... did Destiny have to glare like that? Jimmy was only trying to be helpful. Then again, she knew how Destiny was when she was playing dead. "Whatever Destiny, I'm very much alive thank you very much."
Oh, and now her friends were leaving. Good, that meant she would have all of Jimmy's attention once again. "So, you wanna keep dancing or maybe... you know... go do something else?" She voted they go do something else. After all they had a ruined moment that needed to be made up.
Nikolai had yet to step on her feet the whole time, which only meant one thing. He was beginning to feel over-confident about his dance skills or lack there of. Aleksandra knew what happened when he got this feeling and had mentally prepared herself for a spin. But, it didn't come. She certainly wasn't disappointed. One could say she was almost relieved about not being spun. Yes, she loved being spun, but being spun by Nikolai had always proved hazardous to her physical health. "No need to apologize, it vas our first dance, and a vhile ago." Which also happened to be around the same time their friendship had begun. Maybe that's why she hadn't hexed him for her injuries. A brief laugh escaped her lips. "Neither can I, guess I had hope that you vould improve."
And he had....after a few more dances and bruised feet.
A smirk crept onto her face, and she slightly tilted her head to the side. "Are you suggesting I move near you, Nikolai?" Her teasing tone matching the look in her eyes. "It has been suggested to me before." Her head nodded, eyes flicking briefly to Fletcher at the champions table. She hadn't considered any place in England until he had suggested London to her. And now Nikolai was suggesting the place as well. She would defiantly have to check London out now. Might make it her first stop since she was so close. Of course she would be great. Potions was the one thing that she excelled at and also loved. More than anything, so it would be impossible for her to fail. Though she did love the complements, and coming from him it meant a lot. Him being one of the few that she considered a close friend.
Sandra would have been surprised, and probably a little hurt though she would never acknowledge the pain or admit to it. if he declined her offer for him to come to visit her. More surprised since they both knew that she wanted him to visit and he wanted to visit her. There was no way they would stop being close, not after all their years at Durmstrang on top of their personal history. "I knov," there was simplicity in her voice. And a knowing that if she ever needed him for anything, he was there for her. Maybe she would grab him while searching for a place.
He didn't have to tell her she was right, she already knew that. The woman had heard that from plenty of people who thought she fibbing about her wanting to work with potions when she was only eleven, and heard the same people tell that to her peers. And it was true. They were only seventeen, almost eighteen. Many people, to her strong dislike, still considered them children or inexperienced in worldly matters. So Nikolai had as long as he wanted to chose his career. "Vandlore," she repeated, only mildly surprised by his choice. He had spoke of the career before, but then it hadn't seemed to her that he had settled on the choice. "It think that's a vonderful career choice. Maybe you should speak with Fedorov, see if he could help you vith that." Konstantin Fedorov was the best wandmaker in her bias opinion. Surely he would help Nikolai if her friend decided to become a wandmaker himself.
Sandra didn't seem disappointed that there was no spinning involved with this dance. Sure, Nikolai's overconfidence was building, but he was at Hogwarts and not Durmstrang. He could easily intimidate the Durmstrangs if they mentioned anything about him stepping on her toes, but the Hogwartians, they were a feisty bunch. Much harder to intimidate and in all honesty, some of them scared him a bit. No need to apologize. She had said that to him plenty of times, yet he still found himself doing it after all these years. "I suppose something good did come out of that incident, though." If he wasn't wearing his mask, there would have been some serious eyebrow waggling going on with that comment. "The only thing I could do was improve. I had a fairly good instructor."
Fairly good.. such an understatement when it came to Sandra.
Returning her smirk, he gave a little shrug of his shoulders. "I don't know. Is that what it sounding like I was suggesting?" Of course he was suggesting it, but only because he knew she would never even think about moving to Bulgaria. He couldn't blame her, he couldn't wait to leave there. His eyes followed hers to the Champion's table, and just like she ignored questioning his glancing, he did not question hers. He knew. He had seen them around the castle together quite a few times and he was the reason Nikolai missed out on his Sandra time. "If it has been suggested before, it should be your first stop." There must be something about the place if more than one person suggests it.
She knew.. There were just some things that never needed to be said between the two of them, and his offer to help was one of them. But, he still felt the need to tell her. They had been distant through the term and Tournament, so having a reminder that he would still be there was nice, right? Well, he felt it was. He was hoping she really did take him up on the offer, though. He didn't know how many times they would have the chance to see each other once they were done school and doing their own thing.
Hehe, he thought she would say it was a wonderful choice. Yes, he thought and talked about that career choice before, but not until recently did he really consider it. It would be the perfect career for him.. at least he thought so. "Fedorov! I did not even think of asking him. I will definitely do that." Sandra was always right and he would be really stupid not to listen to her suggestions. As the the song that was playing started to slow, Nikolai glanced over at the Champion's table once more. "Do you think we should go over there now?"
Besides, Danika was over there. Sandra would probably want to talk to her, and he did as well.
" Ok, I guess you could not hear me, either" Rex told Fee. " i am sorry I got upset with you" Rex said to Fee. "Well, I love being yoru best male friend and sparkly boy" Rex explained to Fee. He hugged her back. " Thanks, I would love to dance with you and Rubiey, too" Rex laughed.
"Dont worry",Fee sighed relived.
She didnt want her bestie to be mad about anything she did. That woulsd be the worst.
"And i love you being that too",Fee smiled happily,"i am sorry if i did something wrong."
She should really pay more attention to her surroundings.
"Okkkkaaaaaaay people",Fee laughed,"leeeeets rock the dancefloor."
Others should watch out, no was crazyy best friends time.
what was that song you showed me last night? I liked that one.

They started to move, to turn and Rae tried her best not to step on him and actually dance. It wasn't so bad once they started, she just kinda flowed with it once they were already going. "You know, I consider you my best friend and more and I never knew you could dance." Then again it wasn't one of their daily activities was it?
"It's a well-kept secret," Fletcher joked, taking her comment in stride as they started to glide. He deftly weaved them in and out of the masked and costumed couples on the floor, though he only had eyes for Rae this evening and hardly noticed who was dancing with whom.
He had been practicing his moves all year, in actuality, with a variety of partners (Neptune, shields of armor, mops, a few fussy broomsticks, and one time a house elf) but of course he couldn't admit to that. That wouldn't be cool. Fletcher was the cool king cat tonight and he wasn't about to let his facade slip even for a moment.
"Don't focus on your feet, just move to the beat," he murmured, leaning down to drop Rae into a low hold. She looked even more gorgeous half-suspended in the air like that.... Fletcher hesitated just a moment as if he were really going to drop her. But with a shrug of his shoulders, he threw all care to the wind and leaned down to give Rae a soft kiss on the cheek. Ah hell it was the end of the term. Why not.

Bonnie had put make-up on - she was NOT allowing herself to cry as she knew she would do any minute noaaa after hearing the rather loud conversation between Jayce and Hayley. She didn't why she was more upset; the fact that Hayley ratted on her or the fact that Hayley's parents died. She knew the feeling all too well. Unfortunatly, she was hurt more then Hayley. Her parents well, her mom didn't want to leave her, her dad did.
And she couldn't help but feel that the craziness was being sucked out of her. It certanly felt like it. She played with her french plait, leaning against a pillar and thinking how much Vanilla and Hayley would approve of her leather boots. The Native American for the evening sipped her pumpkin juice and abondoned it on a table. She wanted to dance. She was sure that she would have to avoid her cousin. If Hayley wanted to talk with her, it was most likely that she would return to the room with a bleeding nose.
Then, she spotted her Flirtantorr. The jerk who started all of this crap. The idiot was made this the worst year ever. ...Her best friend. She would be able to survive without Jayce Cannon. After all, he would most likely choose Hayley over her, saying that he had loved Hayley and only Hayley from the beginning. But her pillow fighting buddy she would in NOOOOOOO way live without. The thought was just to frightening.
So, she walked over to her bestie, a smile forming on her face as she got closer and she found her craziness coming back and she jumped on his unsuspecting back. "Hey meh Flirantorrr." She pecked his cheek before sliding off his back. "Do your Crazed!Girl a favour?" She batted her eyelashes dramactically like all the other little girls were doing around him. "Will you give your bestie a dance? As fwiends of course, Becky." She imiated swooning at the idea and chuckled when she came back around.
"But seriously, come give us a dance," she said, her tone firm but she recked it by smiling broadly.
Beck sighed and looked at himself in the mirror. Hmmm not that bad. Beck laughed slightly. He smirked. He didn't now if he even wanted to go to this ball, dance thing but Bonnie asked him and he was happy to go to it and he knew that Kendall was going to go and maybe just maybe her and Bonnie would get along. Beck looked around for Bonnie and he was happy when he saw her for once. "Hey Bonnie." Beck smiled.
Beck nodded. "It would be an honor." he goofed around. "Let's dance." he said holding out his hand.

Bonnie grinned and slipped her hand into his waiting one. "Just friends." She added a teensy bit hastily. She didn't like him that way and she knew he knew that but still. She smiled and place a hand on his shoulder and let him lead. "Why, my Flirtantorr, you are quiet the dancer." She laughed. She lurved her Becky. Crazed!Girl's eyes accidently swept over Hayley and Jayce and felt something sickening twist in her stomach.
Ooh. Ellie was all ears. Who didn't like Quidditch? She'd put 'em straight. They just didn't know what they were missing.. Dodson? "What? Really? Why?" Questions! There were lots and lots of questions! And she'll HAVE to have a word with him. She might not know him that well, but he'd better come to her game next term. HPMH.
Ellie nodded. That actually did make a whole bunch of sense. If you wanted something bad enough, you could obtain it. "I agree." Nod, nod. But it was a shame he didn't want to practice chaser. That was a fun position. You were always busy. Though, she most definitely liked beater best.
Twirl! Yay! The twirls made her smile.
Oh. Heh. "In the end, I was supporting Hogwarts." Nod. "Fletcher's a cool kid. He deserved it." Raiden would have too, but Raiden has other things to brag about. Like being a prefect. And being awesome.
It was the look on her face that made him smile. Some people just didn't like Quidditch, and the ones that did were suppose to accept that. Even if it did sound crazy that one does not like Quidditch. "I don't think he ever told me why, probably because I didn't ask him that, but I told him he could come to the Stands...and at least support" truth was that while Treyen was playing, he rarely looked to the Stands, so there was no way of knowing if Dodson attended or not.
"I bet he's not the only one..." he said, making things more dramatic, "...but he's the only one I know of" however, he didn't know what Kingsley thought of it, nor if Nolan liked Quidditch. It seemed he had some research to do.
She agreed. Ha. Of course.
And after the twirling she smiled, Treyen couldn't help but notice something that was later said out loud, though he didn't intend to, "You have a pretty smile, you know?" ...because her smile made him smile, actually, all smiles made the boy smile. Soooo, no preference of any kind there.
There it is! "So, you sort of switched from Raiden to Hogwarts?" if Raiden had won, Treyen wouldn't be saying that he was 'proud' of Raiden, he'd be rather annoyed at the fact that 'Fletcher didn't win' instead.
SPOILER!!: Emmy

"You should have been a damn Slytherin. Does belittling other people make you feel better about yourself? Because it certainly looks that way - after all, you never stop!

He was...just minding his own business when a voice much familiar to him sounded rather upset. As his eyes scanned the area around him, Treyen noticed who the voice belonged to. Emmy.
And she was talking to some boy. Probably that's were the upset part came from.
"Hey Emmy" he said, with a small smile on his face, his eyes fell on the boy and then went back to her, "You...having a good time this evening?" that was the way of asking if everything was alright without him actually saying so.
"Dont worry",Fee sighed relived.
She didnt want her bestie to be mad about anything she did. That woulsd be the worst.
"And i love you being that too",Fee smiled happily,"i am sorry if i did something wrong."

" Ok. every thing is fine btween us now" Rex told Fee. "Well, I love you for being sparkly and my best female friend" Rex said to Fee. "We will rock the dance floor" Rex emiled. " Now, we missed the Cha, Cha, so the next one is the Teexas Two Step" Rex explained to Fee. "Daisy will get most of all the dances" Rex smiled.

If she carried on as she was, he would just keep needling her, and if she retaliated, she would inadvertantly prove his most treasured theory right...
His thin lips curled into a smirk. Did she actually think she was reaching out to him or making a point? He was beyond listening to her, as all she ever had to say were saccharine and dimwitted phrases that probably had no thought process behind them. He was way too intelligent for the likes of her and he really didn't need her dragging him down. There were more important things waiting for him before and after Hogwarts. She wasn't one of them.
The little jab about being in Slytherin didn't bother Ling in the slightest. At least, there was one thing that idiotic girl was right about--he would have done far better in that house or as a second choice, he'd have fit in Ravenclaw. His older brother had been in Ravenclaw a few years ago but he had gone off to become an Auror. How ironic that his younger sibling was aspiring to go in the opposite direction. It wasn't that Ling was confused about his path--he knew exactly where he was heading and nobody was going to stop him, especially not a bimbo like Emmy.
"I have nothing better to do right now..." Ling remarked simply, giving a haughty jerk of his head. The hood on his costume gave a small ruffle but continued to conceal his face. He paid no attention to the other boy who had joined them and lowered his voice, his fingers wrapping around his wand. It was still sticking out of his pocket.
"If you have half a brain, which is doubtful, you'd stay the hell away from me..." Ling hissed to Emmy.
They were in the middle of the dance floor and Selena was trying her best to keep from balling her eyes out and Diggy was standing there with a silly grin on his face. He was glad that no one was paying them any sort of attention. Granted they were two of the smallest people on the dance floor and people rarely looked down, but he was glad that they cold share that moment with each other and no one else. "Good," was his simple reply.
He smiled and pulled her in for a tight hug. "You hardly ever call me Dillon," he noted. Very few people did in fact. His mom was going to have a right fit when he told her what he had just done. But he was sure after she got over the shock she would be happy.
Selena hugged Diggy back, smiling because she had the best boyfriend ever and because she felt like the luckiest person in the world. She blinked the tears away from her eyes, she didn't like crying anywats. Selena giggled at that, she hadn't really realized that she had called Diggy, Dillon. "Well, it doesn't really matter because either way I still love you," she pointed out. Diggy, Dillon, they were the same person.
She wondered what her parents would do if they found out... or Aunty/Cousin Kat. Mmm... something told her it wasn't going to be pretty... eh...

"I'm just going to have to scope everyone out then. Expect full stands next term, my friend." Ellie was not about to let anybody not go to a match without a fight. Nope, nope.
Say what? Ohh... This comment just made her blush. Blush and smile more. "Thank you, Treyen." Hehe. It made her giggle, too. "You're smile's pretty nice, too."
Oh ho, wait.
"No. I always supported Hogwarts."

Ah hell it was the end of the term. Why not.
The two of them swept through the dance floor quite gracefully actually, which surprised Rae just she went with the flow anyways. No, she was NOT prepared for that low hold, it took her completely by surprise but she quickly got over it and was still calm on the outside. This has never happened to her before, she felt like she was going to fall. Though she had a sense of security with this certain royal king, and she knew that he wouldn't drop her.
He bent down and kissed her cheek, MERLIN... This was getting to be too much to not say anything by now. She smiled softly and once she was upright again, she spoke softly so he could hear, and her nerves of saying this were causing her voice to not be as strong anymore. "Xylon and I are done. It has been for a while... I'm sorry I didn't say anything before." It technically has been over for a while, even if she didn't exactly tell him yet. But how could she? He was basically missing. Rae had her decision made up subconsciously but didn't realize her decision until tonight at the champion table. She couldn't keep herself waiting for someone who would not come when the one she wanted most was right in front of her.

Oh ho, wait.
"No. I always supported Hogwarts."
There. Treyen had given Ellie a little project. Though, it was probably going to be one for next term given the fact that the term was pretty much over and they were to return home when Fletcher's party is over.
He was both saddened and happy by the end of the term, but the happy part certainly overpowered the sad one.
"You go on, and try to make him nervous, too" he joked, because Dodson tends to gets nervous with certain questions.
The Huffie boy nodded, "Yes, especially when Hufflepuff plays, right?" he said, with a smile on his face. If he didn't make the team, then trust him to be at the Stands supporting it. Like he did with Fletcher this time around.
"You're welcome" another nod came, and then he smiled even more. "Really?" then he was on his way to winning Witch Weekly's Most Charming Smile. And we all knew he wanted to follow some Lockhart's footsteps somehow. That's why he was more than happy to hear Ellie say that, even if he was still a long way from winning that Award.
No, no, wait a minute. "No, you said you supported Raiden, it's not the same thing" certainly not.

Hehe. "Nervous?" Why ever would she want to make him nervous than he might NOT go to any games.
Ellie smirked. "And Ravenclaw." she said. "And if and when we play each other, they're going to have to add stands on." Most likely not. But a girl could dream, couldn't she?
She smiled again. "Really." Heh.
Err... "Right." Awkward cough. She could tell from the second task that Treyen was fond of Fletcher. And, she didn't want to upset him. So, though she did support Raiden initially, she wasn't going to act like she hadn't wanted Fletcher to win at all. "And it's a pity he didn't make it through. He tried hard." So, Fletcher ended up being just a smidge better. 'Least that's what she tried to make it sound that that was what she was implying. "Fletcher was better." But in the end, Hogwarts won.
She was neutral.

Fletcher didn't leave Rae hanging for too long. He had learned that his biceps were not strong enough to just dangle people willy-nilly whenever he felt like it, regardless of how light and pretty those people might be.
He tilted Rae back up and as the song changed to something slower, resorted to that slow, swaying movement popular in many Muggle middle schools. Yeah Fletcher had about exhausted his array of dance moves but he wouldn't let on to that. Yet.
Wrapping his arms about Rae's waist at an appropriate height, Fletcher tilted his head and allowed his attention to come back to her. "You... you are? For a while?" His surprise couldn't be more obvious even though he kept his tone at a quiet, mostly even keel. "But you didn't want to say anything earlier..."
Fletch took it as a sign that she really didn't like him that much after all.

Sandra didn't seem disappointed that there was no spinning involved with this dance. Sure, Nikolai's overconfidence was building, but he was at Hogwarts and not Durmstrang. He could easily intimidate the Durmstrangs if they mentioned anything about him stepping on her toes, but the Hogwartians, they were a feisty bunch. Much harder to intimidate and in all honesty, some of them scared him a bit. No need to apologize. She had said that to him plenty of times, yet he still found himself doing it after all these years. "I suppose something good did come out of that incident, though." If he wasn't wearing his mask, there would have been some serious eyebrow waggling going on with that comment. "The only thing I could do was improve. I had a fairly good instructor."
Fairly good.. such an understatement when it came to Sandra.
Returning her smirk, he gave a little shrug of his shoulders. "I don't know. Is that what it sounding like I was suggesting?" Of course he was suggesting it, but only because he knew she would never even think about moving to Bulgaria. He couldn't blame her, he couldn't wait to leave there. His eyes followed hers to the Champion's table, and just like she ignored questioning his glancing, he did not question hers. He knew. He had seen them around the castle together quite a few times and he was the reason Nikolai missed out on his Sandra time. "If it has been suggested before, it should be your first stop." There must be something about the place if more than one person suggests it.
She knew.. There were just some things that never needed to be said between the two of them, and his offer to help was one of them. But, he still felt the need to tell her. They had been distant through the term and Tournament, so having a reminder that he would still be there was nice, right? Well, he felt it was. He was hoping she really did take him up on the offer, though. He didn't know how many times they would have the chance to see each other once they were done school and doing their own thing.
Hehe, he thought she would say it was a wonderful choice. Yes, he thought and talked about that career choice before, but not until recently did he really consider it. It would be the perfect career for him.. at least he thought so. "Fedorov! I did not even think of asking him. I will definitely do that." Sandra was always right and he would be really stupid not to listen to her suggestions. As the the song that was playing started to slow, Nikolai glanced over at the Champion's table once more. "Do you think we should go over there now?"
Besides, Danika was over there. Sandra would probably want to talk to her, and he did as well.
And find out what her date was dressed as..
A smirk twitched its way onto her face. "A lot of good had come out of that incident." Not just their friendship, but the history that came with it as well. Amazing how one horrible dance that ended in her with bruised feet, and him having to do some serious making up to her, which he did well, would lead to the wonderful friendship they have now. That was true. He had been so terrible that the only thing he could do was improve. And considering how they had been dancing for a while, and her feet remained bruise free, he'd improved greatly. "This instructor of yours sounds like an amazing one." Sandra knew he was speaking of her, who else would have taken the time to help him with his dance skills, or lack there of.
Her smirk still played on her lips as she tilted her head to the side, mimicking his shoulder shrug. "Sounds like you vere getting around to suggesting that I should move there." Though it would take more than a simple suggestion to get her to even consider moving to Bulgaria. Even then, she still wouldn't move there. Not only did it neighbor her own country, Serbia, which obviously was too close to her parents, but...well, that was it really. Sure the country wasn't that awesome, but it did have him, which had been good comfort over the summers. The many visits she had taken to see him were fun. Sandra had enjoyed the trips and would miss them when she got her own place. Not that she couldn't visit him, but she wasn't sure if he would still be staying with his parents or not.
Even though he hadn't questioned her look towards the champion's table. Sandra had a feeling that Nikolai knew. She had been with the other champions too, but most of her time at Hogwarts had been spent with Fletcher. Odd how she spent most of her time around the one and not many. "I think I vill," she agreed. "Once the term is completed." Which, sadly was all too close.
The fact that the term was coming to an end, and she wouldn't be spending her summers the way she usually did, saddened her a bit. Made her wish that she had spent more time with her friends while they were here, but between the tournament and her time spent with the other champions, it just didn't happen. She was defiantly taking him up on his offer, maybe even have him stay a bit after buying.
Going by her friend's expression, she could defiantly tell that he had made a wonderful choice. Really it seemed to be the perfect career for him. A grin spread across his face. "I don't doubt that he vill say yes." And she would make sure he would say just that. Mmhmm. "Soon I'll be sending my children to get their first vands from from you." Hopefully though, her having kids would be a long while from now. As the song slowed, she followed his gaze over to the champion's table. "I do, vouldn't be right for us not to speak to the others."
Fletcher didn't leave Rae hanging for too long. He had learned that his biceps were not strong enough to just dangle people willy-nilly whenever he felt like it, regardless of how light and pretty those people might be.
He tilted Rae back up and as the song changed to something slower, resorted to that slow, swaying movement popular in many Muggle middle schools. Yeah Fletcher had about exhausted his array of dance moves but he wouldn't let on to that. Yet.
Wrapping his arms about Rae's waist at an appropriate height, Fletcher tilted his head and allowed his attention to come back to her. "You... you are? For a while?" His surprise couldn't be more obvious even though he kept his tone at a quiet, mostly even keel. "But you didn't want to say anything earlier..."
Fletch took it as a sign that she really didn't like him that much after all.
RED ALERT! Sirens went off in her mind.. She said the wrong thing. Oh no! She quickly tried to fix this, hoping that she didn't ruin this. "No! I wanted to I just.." Hesitate... Now Rae chose your words carefully, don't make this worse, please don't. "I couldn't exactly.... Communicate with him as well as I wanted to.... I didn't know if it was right to tell you yet if..." If Xylon didn't even know he was single yet? Yeah.
"I didn't know when the right time was... " Rae felt like she was digging her own grave. Maybe the smartest thing would be to shut her mouth, apparently she didn't think like that. As they swayed, Rae begun to prove herself... With words first that is. Words were plan A... If he still wasn't convinced, she'd get there later.
"I was always here. I was a Fletcher fan before there was a tournament, I was your fan before you won, I'm still your fan, I'm here right now with you." Maybe that wasn't convincing enough.
