Nothing makes a music festival as entertaining as it is without some dancing, of course. Close by the main stage is an open area of the street that has been magically transformed to look as if it filled with fresh, field grass. There are benches spread about in a circle-like arrangement for those that wish to sit yet, for the party rockers that wish to dance, there is an open dancing space between all the benches. Blankets have also been placed on the odd spot here and there for those that wish to enjoy the night picnic style.

For those that are of higher importance and are VIPs, a wide tent-marquee has been set up amongst the benches. Here it is likely you may see any well known wizard that can afford such privileges or, more excitingly so, you may see a performer taking a break. This tent has been filled with luxurious couches and fancy tables to make you feel as comfortable as you can.

Either way, whether you’re inside the VIP tent or whether you’re sitting outside by the grass, the main stage is visible to all even with the roaring crowd straight ahead. So dance along, or sit and relax whilst you enjoy the rhythm of the night.

Text Cut: HAHA Her genuine thoughts xD

If only there was some parchment lying around somewhere here.... Maybe if he could find a Ravenclaw sitting around. Like Sophie Brown, she probably had parchment on her right? It was a requirement to get into the house afterall, was it not?

Anyways he just kinda waited to see exactly what she was going to say next because if she said another 'what', then the Gryffindor would've probably resorted to dragging her over to a quieter place and from experience, most people didn't really liked to be dragged. See, knowledge like that was also another big requirement of being sorted into Ravenclaw, but he could probably pass off as excusable since he wasn't in that house or anything.

But back to the important business. The casual stuff. HA SO SHE DID!! WAIT. Blink. Oh. Oh man. You know, for what seemed like a very casual plan... There wasn't actually that much planning that went into this and Agatha didn't look at all phased, which in itself seemed super strange. 'Cause if Zander was confronted about this ~~well not this 'cause as much as he did like Simon, he'd never snog the boy MERLIN NO~~ he'd probably be all blushy and avoid the topic all together. But Agatha, man she REALLY had no shame.

Which also brought him to the next question, "Why?" It was an honest question. Did Agatha like him? And if not, did she know that Simon liked her? 'Cause if she did that would be pretty uncool of her and all just leading him on like that. And not that Agatha didn't seem like a cool person, 'cause really her dance moves were only slightly behind from being up to par with Zanders. Heh. Jokes.

But anyways, this was pretty important stuff considering that Simon Holden was like a brother to the Gryffindor. No, okay not brother because his brothers were horrible. More like a distant cousin or someone he didn't see quite often enough because they were always locked up in the dungeons studying or something, 'cause who did that anyways? Well, other than Ravenclaws, 'cause studying was definitely the third on the list of requirements, right after requirement #1 always carrying parchment and requirement #2 knowing not to drag people around.

Agatha should've expected these super slow reactions from Zander. He had been the exact same way when they met at the lake the previous year. Always taking ages to process thoughts and respond. The girl would say that was a Gryffindor thing, but knowing other people from that house - like stupid Bart - made her actually shake her head because that boy was nothing like Zander in this sense. Always blabbing about useless things and not thinking about what he was saying.

Urgh. Stupid Bart.

But the topic ight now wasn't him, it was Simon still, apparently. Merlin, Zander was obsessed. "Because I wanted to." She answered as if that was literally the only asnwer she could've given. And it was! Wasn't that why people snogged other people? Because they WANTED to?

...But maybe Zander didn't know that. Which made Agatha go back to considering things. Hm.

No, she'd better not.

Though her eyes did dart quite a lot from his eyes to his lips, then back to his eyes. Casually, of course.

Nevermind what was happening on the stage anymore.

He spun her around and gave her a kiss, "Thought you might like that." And it helped that he realized that he had only agreed to go into it in the first place because his Uncle made him and he had been extremely unhappy. Now he most definitely was happy.

"Now...dancing..." he let go of her slowly until her feet hit the ground and he held onto her hand. He slowly started humming and then sung quietly in a waltz beat, "Take my hand..I'll take the lead, and every turn will be safe with me. Don't be afraid, afraid to fall, you know I'll catch you through it all..." As he sang he slowly moved in a waltz with a smile.

Kalla was in seventh Heaven right now. Her amazing man, this sense of peace and happiness... it was almost too good to be true. She giggled the whole time he spun herand then began to pepper his face with kisses. "Of courseI approve. That means i get more time with you and wecan go wherever we like whenever we like." Why wouldn't she be stoked about that?!

As her feet hit the ground she locked her arms in frame atet placing her hands. She moved easily with him and smiled up at him as he sang. "You're too cute for words." And no she didn't want to play the who's cuter game.... she was merely in awe of him at the moment. The obnoxious music from the stage ~~performed by equally obnoxious people she recalled from Hogwarts...~~ seemed to fade into the background... she only had eyes for Ivan.

SPOILER!!: HAHAHA Agatha cracks me up

'Cause she wanted to? "Oh." Well that made sense, kinda right? Actually, it made a whole lot of sense. Snogging because she wanted to. It was why most people snogged, wasn't it? Well other than Justine that one time... That was more of a favor, sort of. But, uh right. Agatha, then. He was sure there was some hidden agenda or something, there always was with Slytherins it seemed. But you know...What even was the point of his question to begin with because at this point, Zander didn't really know where else to take it 'cause she did it because she wanted to. Uh. "Well, I reckon that's good." Ahem. He looked down at his feet momentarily and let his weight shift around from foot to foot because this conversation sort of got real awkward real fast. Though really, he should've expected that marching up to a girl and throwing blunt questions at her would result in as much.

"So.... you enjoyed it then?" he asked raising a single eyebrow.

And you know, the weirdest part about this whole thing was that he never thought in a million years that he'd be having a conversation with Agatha Hapgood around the topic of snogs. Never ever, yet here he was. And there was also something about the way she kept looking him up and down like that. Were his lips chapped or something?

Hey Ju · 12-16-2014, 08:22 PM

Text Cut: Oh my goodness, he's HAHAHAHA I can't xD

Well? Was he happy about that answer then? Would he leave her alone now or would he keep bombarding her with his crazy Zander thoughts? She gave him a shrug!nod when he said that was good. Yeah, whatever. It was, she supposed.

But there were more questions. See. She knew it.

Agatha looked at him up and down then stared hard into his eyes. Why did he want to know if she enjoyed it? She studied him for a moment before speaking again. "I'm sure Simon enjoyed it very much." She said with an almost smug look and half-smirk. Drifting from the question, she was. Of course. Zander had no business in her personal life. Hm.

Unless he wanted to take part in it. Her smirk reached her eyes as she took a sliiight step closer to him. Time to have fun making him feel uncomfortable, because why not? This was Zander after all. "Why do you ask?"

ArianaBlack · 12-16-2014, 08:37 PM

SPOILER!!: oh gooosh agatha this is evil

The momentary pause, while she seemed to consider her answer, it was intimidating almost. Just like her hard stare, that was even more intimidating than the silence. These girls, how did they do this so well? The intimidation. Trying to get her to stop the tough, direct staring, he smiled all goofy at her. Though he wasn't really feeling all smiley all the sudden. And it most definitely had something to do with the intimidation, he was sure of it. "Oh. I'm-uh-I'm sure he did.."

But wait that was completely deflecting his question! Did it make her uncomfortable? "But what about you?" Not that he was really even that curious. But now that Agatha was doing the whole intimidation nation thing... If he could just sort of maneuver the discomfort back to her....

And then her eyes were doing something different, but he actually liked the hard staring more than the smirking thing actually so could they go back to that bit, please? Looking back down at his feet, he noticed the baby step she took forward and as if by instinct, he took a small step backwards in reaction. As for the heat rising on his neck, that was completely involuntary. "I-just-uh--" Why did he ask actually? To figure out what her motive was. To see if the tin man really had a heart. To-- "I-um-youknow-just courious."

And now if she could please take a step back-- Ahem. This was a redflag zone okay. REDFLAGS.

Text Cut: She's having so much fun, I'm sorry =S

This music festivel was turning out to be more fun than Agatha expected. Sure, she knew it'd be good, because anywhere with music had the potential to be good, but this... all of it, was too much fun.

Of course Simon did. Why else would he have blabbed about it? Zander being Zander... pfft.

The Gryffindor was really on a mission, wasn't he? Agatha was going to ignore that qustion because no one needed to know whether she enjoyed it or not. A piece of information people could live without. Or was he going to die in case he didn't find out? No, he wouldn't, so there.

She took another step closer to him instead, and thank Merlin she was already smirking because him stepping away from her was hilarious. "Curious." She repeated, extremely amused at his awkwardness. It was almost cute and Agatha loved the feeling of being in control. "Why are you so nervous?" The Slytherin asked innocently, but a sparkle of wickedness could be seen in her eyes if one looked closely enough.

One minute she looked ready to answer and the next Angelina had gone silent. So had the music Simon registered which might have been the reason for the first change in the situation. The changing of the bands it seemed, confirmed as the announcer mentioned the new act. Poor kneazles, he mused with a chuckle before shaking his head to the negative once more.

"Nope, not that familiar with them either. " Even if those around them appeared to know them better. Was this what it felt like to be older and out of the loop? The auror pushing back the awkward feeling of being reminded he was slowly but surely closing in on 29 years of age.

He gave a small shrug towards some seats and reached out with his henna covered hands - right hand done by one of the professionals at the festival and left hand done by Medea herself - to pull out a seat for her.

"Just need to make sure that Professor Botros can find us," he said while giving his suit a pat down for his wand. Maybe he should have worn a more colorful suit? Something a bit easier to spot. The smell of the dye from the henna filled his nostrils and he couldn't help but wince just a little. "Why did I let you talk me into do this? On BOTH my hands no less," he chuckled.

Rhetorical question. He already knew the answer as to why and hoped that it was obvious enough that she knew as well.

The professor took a quick glance towards the stage. Their former students hadn't taken to the stage yet, had they?

So, the old man wore a neat suit with a blue tie that brought out his weary eyes behind those half-moon spectacles, and walked with his cane by his side towards the Stage just as the band was being announced.

The good part was that he had two colleagues here with him today! He didn't have to stand awkwardly in this swarm of bouncing, sweaty youngsters. He prayed to Odin Flamsteed and Romanos were already here. How was he supposed to SEE them when it was almost dark and people were pushing him out of the way?? He struggled, "Excu-- Ex-- Excuse me!" He tried to say to those in front of him but no one could hear him over the music.

Eventually, he just used his wand to send a shooting light forward illuminating people for him, he kept walking and shooting the light spell until he spotted the blonde professor ahead of him! Botros smiled and picked up the pace, focusing on the two professors so he wouldn't lose them in--OOP! He was suddenly on his hands and knees, someone pushed him to get past him. Ugh, ugh... He was fine... just... ugh... he needed to get up...

Following closely by Airey, almost shoulder to shoulder considering the lack of room this place had, she waved her hands a little in front of her, as if drying them off. Technically, she was trying to dry the henna and was rather twitchy whenever someone came too close to her right upper arm where a simple design wrapped around it. Also made out of henna. It had to dry to work! Preferably without it being smudged.

"Because," she grinned, taking her seat he so graciously pulled out for her. And that was the only answer he got. Just... because. Because! It was neat though, wasn't it? Like a temporary tattoo. Only better. And more beautiful.

Now that they were seated though, she could be less twitchy and pay attention to the music! And possibly see if the artwork upon her skin was dry enough to peel off while waiting for Abraham. She didn't know that this was his style of place. They surely could've met someplace else if he so desired.

Pick...pick...peeeeel... oooh, it was workiiiin-

PERSON DOWN! "Oh my...!"

SPOILER!!: Isa and Jorge

Mariel couldn't quite tell if it was the noise level or if Regina was hungry or if it was a little of both, but the baby's screams were getting louder as she bounced her in one arm, rifling through the diaper bag. Her outfit wasn't conducive to feeding so she was sure to bring some bottles with her today as she did once in a while.

Pulling out a bottle, she began feeding her infant daughter who eagerly sucked down its contents for a few moments, soon pulling her head away and crying again. She stood up on the blanket, shushing her soothingly as she gently bounced her, trying to get her to stop crying and looking up as Jorge returned with Isa and some food. "I think she's alright.. maybe it's getting a little loud." This band seemed to attract the kids and they were a bit louder than the earlier acts. Regina was starting to settle a little more though. "Maybe I should check her diaper too.." She held Regina in front of her, gently swaying her from side to side as she softly spoke to her. "Is this music too loud for you?"

She looked up at Jorge and smiled at the question. "Oh of course.. I'm glad we got to come out today." It was sort of a family event type of thing, but she was happy to go out and do something with them anyway. Besides, Isa seemed to be having a great time and Regina was calming down some. "The pizza looks great." She glanced down at the plate then smiled up at him again. She was rather hungry all of a sudden.

"It always is, babe." And like honestly the day could only get better, right? She could hear TDK playing, that first song she actually knew since she'd been at their practices more than once and everything, and the second was one of their standard covers too, she liked that Vesper was singing it instead of her cousin this time. But yup, she was content to hang around back here where there was space to dance and not be crushed by people. They wouldn't forget she was totally an original fangirl after all, even if her particular appreciation of Nigel had totally cooled off in recent times for reasons. A whole ton of reasons, actually. She was therefore totally willing to be tugged along wherever Grayson saw fit to go... because he was smart enough to know where she would prefer to be. Ruby would tell him otherwise if that wasn't the case, nooo problems.

"Ooooh lets dance!" It was nice to be able to, really. She'd had to take it kind of easy lately. This was also the first time she'd been out anywhere in a while. Ruby hadn't been up to it, and had needed some time to herself to kind of regroup and recover. Not that she was all the way... back to herself, but on the way at least, thanks to Grayson really.

Yup. He was a good friend. Among other things.

She gave him an appreciative smile and then it was her turn to do the tugging. Dance floor! And then maybeeee she'd see some of her friends? Maybe they'd see some of their mutual friends, who she felt kind of bad about neglecting lately even if it had been kind of necessary. And he'd probably want to check out the food right? And she was considering a piercing... was the body art station doing piercings though? But for now, dancing. Smiling bigger than she had in weeks, Ruby closed her eyes and tossed her head back, letting the music run through her body.

Grayson was busy paying attention to where he was going so he didn't catch Ruby's motion of fixing her hair but if he had, there would have been smirking. Because of reasons. Juuuuust saying.

He did, however, look over at the girl when she spoke, smirking a little. "You're really very talented." Again, just saying. And surely, she had to know what he was talking about. She always did. It was what made the two of them get along so well in the first place.

Grayson raised his eyebrows once HE was the one who was being led off somewhere. Not that he didn't enjoy it but comments. He had plenty of them. And dancing? "You gonna dance in the way you danced to me back at Hogwarts? Cause I thoroughly enjoyed that." And he was ALL up for sitting in on her practices, being the sweet -- lol -- innocent -- double lol -- guy that he was.

The way she was dancing? MAAAAAAAAN! It was hard to take his eyes off of her, that was for sure. But what really did it for him and made him happy was that smile. After everything, it was nice to see her smiling like that again. The Slytherin half-smirked, half-smiled to himself as he started dancing along to the music. He only really knew one kind of dancing so he was gonna do that, even moving closer towards her as he did so. Wigglin' his hips like yeah, boppin' his head like yeaaaaaah!

Because?

Airey raised an eyebrow and smirked at the cheeky reply. "That'll do," he chuckled as he gave the crowd another look over for the Ancient Runes professor and still didn't see the man. He turned his attention back to his....girlfriend (!!!) and watched her pick the dried henna off her hands. "We're allowed to do that now?" he asked rhetorically as he looked down as his own hands and felt the sweet relief from the overwhelming itching sensation just a finger scratch away...

Speaking of things not being too far away!

OH SWEET SOLSTICE! OLD FART DOWN!

Looking around anxiously for the man's great great great great great great grandson or some other kind-of-sort-of immediate family to step in and help the man to his feet, the astronomer was thrown into a further panic when he saw no one step in. WAS NO ONE GOING TO CLAIM OLD MAN RIVE-----

"Oh sweet solstice," he gasped, his hand reaching out and grasping Medea's shoulder firmly as he stood up. "That's Professor Botros!"

Literally leaping over his chair as though he were in the 500 m hurtles, Airey sprinted over to his fallen colleague and tried not to flail about like a fish out of water too much while doing so. "PROFESSOR BOTROS! IT'S PROFESSOR FLAMSTEED! CAN YOU HEAR ME?!" he shouted somewhat unnecessarily while at the man's side. Had to make sure the man could hear him over all the noise. "ARE YOU ALRIGHT?! DID YOU BREAK ANYTHING??!!??"

And Merlin help him. He had referred to a colleague as old fart in his head.

“Yes I am, I’m Chelsea,” She kept smiling even if it looked painful or awkward to smile so much she didn’t care. “or…well I am a Chelsea…Chelsea Payne” she admitted before clearing her throat. Where had her boldness gone? Right. It disappeared before she had even tried to show up today or so it had seemed.

“So um…what do you want to do?” They could get food, or sit and talk…that might have been the easiest thing to do really honestly. Sit. Talk. Grab food if they actually ended up getting along.

He scratched his head as if he has lice for a moment - which he didn't, it was just a nervous tick - and looked down at his feet. "It's alright. It's, um, a rather common mistake." Very common.

What did he want to do? Run and hide, but he supposed that wasn't really an option. He wasn't exactly a high maintenance sort of guy, so he would go along with just about anything. Not like he could really do much else to get out of his comfort zone anymore. "We can do whatever you feel like. I'm afraid I'm not familiar with wizarding music though, so you'll have to educate me."

An unfortunate side-effect of somewhat swearing off a wizarding lifestyle.

In all honesty, Amelia was slowly reminding Louisa of her young, teenage self. She was a bit uptight when she was twelve but as she grew up away from her magical-hating family, Louisa gained that wild and intensely independent personality. Just like Amelia, it seemed. But Louisa's personality had a hint of intellectual sarcasm due to her Ravenclawness, Amelia... hmm. "Does she go to Hogwarts? Is she like us?" A Ravenclaw? Louisa doubted it, which was why she was asking.

Aaaah, see, that was the interesting part of his job, in her opinion. "That's interesting. You should focus on this while juggling the other regular things he assign to you." She encouraged him with a nod. "Do you have a five-year plan or something? Like, in five years, I'll be doing this and that, or I'll be this or that." She had a life plan, in case he was wondering.

Oh! A matchmaker! Louisa laughed with him, and nodded, "I sent in my application once too. I like to go on dates, it doesn't have to be serious, just getting to know people and secretly judging them while being hit on. It's not half-bad if I could say so myself!" She grinned. And if the other person was hot enough, you'd have a good time looking at them. It was all a win-win, really. "Unless you're ready to settle down and find the one, then... in that case, yeah, dating could be stressful." Louisa squinted her eyes at him trying to read him. He didn't look like the 'fun' kinda guy, he was too sweet and nice to be like that.

Actually... he... he reminded her of one sweet, adorable, witty Ravenclaw boy... that she loved so dearly one time, but she didn't dare bring his face or name on her mind now, that was how she usually got jittery.

Emrys rubbed the back of his neck. "She'd enjoy that far too much, I think." The giving him tips and having him take them, any way. Sometimes he listened... like those flowers he'd brought for Derry. Those had seemed to go over well. And the keeping a bit of stubble, if not a full-on beard. That had been Amelia's idea too. Merlin. Wasn't he a Ravenclaw, even if only for a year? "She's headed into her seventh year," he responded. She'd been there the whole time, too, unlike Emrys. "Gryffindor. Loves it. Never wants to leave." So, complete opposites, these siblings.

Emrys laughed, partially from embarrassment, but also partially from the sheer ridiculousness of the thought. "No. No five year plan. No one year plan. No... plan." Merlin. She probably had a plan. Louisa seemed... put together. On her feet. Doing things. And Emrys? He was still the same as he'd been on that picnic. Nervous. Fumbly. Perhaps a little smitten by her.

He raised a single brow. Judging people while being hit on? From the look on her face, Emrys could tell she rather enjoyed whatever it was she was getting at. He couldn't help but frown a little as he wondered what she must be thinking of him in that moment. "Celeste.. my mum.. would like me to find someone. She says she wants grandbabies." Emrys shook his head. THAT certainly wasn't happening any time soon. He shrugged. "I don't go on many dates..."

SPOILER!!: clearly and he wants me to add 'on his expense' in here too

Girls were evil is what the were. What with all of their smirking. Especially this one. Couldn't she see the red flags going off?! Or did he need to find one and waaaveee it right in front of her face. What was she trying to do here?? Actually, did he want to know? Maybe this music festival wasn't such a bright idea after all... Especially since he figured Kevin wouldn't be in attendance, it was his stupid single flash of optimism that got him to show up. And he would never listen to optimism ever again.

Trying to avoid eye contact with the smirking girl-- cause the smirking, it was ahem you know-- but yes, curious. That's all. "Mhhm." he nodded, trying to take another step back before realizing how absolutely crowded the place actually was. It was like there was no where else to run. Not that he'd ever run from her 'cause she was only a girl.

A very intimidating girl that was actually making him VERY nervous. "Me? Nervous? Nooo," LIES all lies. How did she know anyways? Could she read his mind? Or... see the look of hehh mildintimidation in his eyes? Because either was a big give away at this point really. And it was in that lost second of nervousness that he had missed the fact that she had stepped even closer.

GULP.

Merlin, these girls were gonna kill him.

Text Cut: He is too adorable, I can't even xD

Who would've thought Agatha would have so much fun at this music festival when she wasn't dancing at all?

The smirk never left her face and yes, she was stepping closer and closer and was loving the look on his face. Zander Adair, the Gryffindor, emanating panic. She was loving it.

"I can see you are, Zander, no need to lie." She said, her voice somewhere between sweet and cold, and she reached out to hold his hand. Her eyes never left his but Merlin, she was struggling a lot not to laugh right at his face. This was hysterical and she wanted to see how far he'd go. "It's only me, Agatha. I'm harmless." Lies.

Unfortunately she had that former idea in mind that if she ever did do anything, he would go around telling every single person they knew, including Simon and that would be a shame if it happened - and it would, she just knew it. But pushing the boy until he was literally panicking? That was priceless.

Why wouldn't she be stoked about that?!

As her feet hit the ground she locked her arms in frame atet placing her hands. She moved easily with him and smiled up at him as he sang. "You're too cute for words." And no she didn't want to play the who's cuter game.... she was merely in awe of him at the moment. The obnoxious music from the stage ~~performed by equally obnoxious people she recalled from Hogwarts...~~ seemed to fade into the background... she only had eyes for Ivan.

"Well that is true and I can focus on helping your cousin and getting my own stuff off the ground." He smiled and gave her a kiss, "It'll be fantastic." Well hopefully. Unless she got tired of him or something else happened. But he hadn't had a proper vacation in awhile so he was content on doing nothing but traveling.

He stopped singing and grinned at her, "Well mum made me take dance, music, and singing lessons. Said something about girls liked that." He looked up as the band began playing a slow song and stopped the waltz to simply hold her and sway back and forth. "About time."

SPOILER!!: i think she is enjoying this waaaay too much

She just kept getting closer, but he couldn't move any farther back. See why this was so problematic?! If it was anywhere else it wouldn't have such a hassle, but of all places she had chosen a crowded music festival, in which backing up would risk falling on top of some random stranger. Although... Maybe a random stranger wouldn't be as bad as this. 'Cause this was-- getting really hot all the sudden, could someone turn up the air?

He tugged a little at his collar as he continued to avoid eye contact, instead finding a very interesting patch of grass to look at. Yet, when she spoke to him, he had to look at her by instinct, you know? Eye contact was like the number one rule in his family after the one about eating vegetables first. Oh merlin. She knew. Of course she knew that he was getting nervous, but yet how come she couldn't see the red flags??? WHY WAS SHE GETTING SO CLOSE?

Couldn't she see the red flags? LIKE SIMON HOLDEN SHAPED RED FLAGS?

"Harmless? Uh-I.. Are you sure about that?" 'Cause he definitely didn't believe her. Not one bit. And he was totally squirming on the inside and maybe a little on the outside too. Merlin, Adair get a hold of yourself! "You uh... You thirsty--" GULP Agatha? Why'd his voice get caught on her name, huh? " 'Cause I could just go over there" far away over there "to get us some water?" Firstly, his throat was getting really dry. Secondly, he needed some sort of an escape. Though he knew she probably wouldn't let him off so easy.

But uh, it was worth a shot?

Hey Ju · 12-17-2014, 11:48 AM

Text Cut: She is xD

As Zander stepped back, Agatha stepped forward. There were only so many steps he could take, really, since the place was pretty crowded. Mwahaha. And he was freaking out, what with tugging at his collar and avoiding eye contact at all costs.

She blinked. "Of course I'm sure about that. What do you think I'd do? Kiss, I mean, kill you?" Smiiiiirk. Could this get any worse for Zander Adair?

Agatha thought it could.

Because that girl on the stage had just licked her bandmate's face and it gave the ballerina all the ideas. She instantly leaned in and licked Zander's cheek too.

MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

Oh, the fun. The Slytherin kept a neutral expression on her face, however, and stood up straight again as if nothing had happened. "No, you stay here. I'm not thirsty."

Technically, she was trying to dry the henna and was rather twitchy whenever someone came too close to her right upper arm where a simple design wrapped around it. Also made out of henna. It had to dry to work! Preferably without it being smudged.

"Because," she grinned, taking her seat he so graciously pulled out for her. And that was the only answer he got. Just... because. Because! It was neat though, wasn't it? Like a temporary tattoo. Only better. And more beautiful.

Now that they were seated though, she could be less twitchy and pay attention to the music! And possibly see if the artwork upon her skin was dry enough to peel off while waiting for Abraham. She didn't know that this was his style of place. They surely could've met someplace else if he so desired.

Pick...pick...peeeeel... oooh, it was workiiiin-

PERSON DOWN! "Oh my...!"

Airey raised an eyebrow and smirked at the cheeky reply. "That'll do," he chuckled as he gave the crowd another look over for the Ancient Runes professor and still didn't see the man. He turned his attention back to his....girlfriend (!!!) and watched her pick the dried henna off her hands. "We're allowed to do that now?" he asked rhetorically as he looked down as his own hands and felt the sweet relief from the overwhelming itching sensation just a finger scratch away...

Speaking of things not being too far away!

OH SWEET SOLSTICE! OLD FART DOWN!

Looking around anxiously for the man's great great great great great great grandson or some other kind-of-sort-of immediate family to step in and help the man to his feet, the astronomer was thrown into a further panic when he saw no one step in. WAS NO ONE GOING TO CLAIM OLD MAN RIVE-----

"Oh sweet solstice," he gasped, his hand reaching out and grasping Medea's shoulder firmly as he stood up. "That's Professor Botros!"

Literally leaping over his chair as though he were in the 500 m hurtles, Airey sprinted over to his fallen colleague and tried not to flail about like a fish out of water too much while doing so. "PROFESSOR BOTROS! IT'S PROFESSOR FLAMSTEED! CAN YOU HEAR ME?!" he shouted somewhat unnecessarily while at the man's side. Had to make sure the man could hear him over all the noise. "ARE YOU ALRIGHT?! DID YOU BREAK ANYTHING??!!??"

And Merlin help him. He had referred to a colleague as old fart in his head.

Botros set his cane on the floor and he dusted off his hands on his thighs before trying to get up. His knees hurt a bit, but it wasn't a big fall, his cane saved him! By the time he was struggling to get up and having the cane slip out on the floor, professor Flamsteed was shouting in his face. The old winced with one eye and grabbed the young man's shoulder to get up-- a much steadier and bigger support than that dragon-head, mahogany cane. "No need to shout, Airey, I didn't pierce my eardrums." He reassured the blonde, and kept his hand on his shoulder until he was standing with a slightly hunched back.

The kids were still playing and rocking out, that was good! They should focus on that and ignore how Botros now had two ~~filthy~~ dusty patches on his trousers where he fell. His hands were scratched a little, too, but nothing major. "I think I'm too old to weave my way through excited, dancing teens." He shouted and chuckled into Airey's ear as he let him lead him back to the table where Ab would finally take a seat. And stay there.

Text Cut: Emryyys :3

A Gryffindor! Louisa had to chuckle to that. "I seem to get along and get attracted to Gryffindors through and through." And she didn't mean dating wise only, but even friends-wise. So Amelia being one made so much sense.

No plan? Wow, Louisa chuckled to that, too. "You're winging it as you go along? I know a friend or two who are doing it your way, too." It wasn't something she'd feel comfortable with, she'd fester in anxiety and panic to have her time wasted while she waited for opportunities rather than seek them herself. "I think it's brave if you can do it without a prior plan, actually." Sort of a Gryffindor thing to do, too. Heh. Maybe it ran in the family.

"Aww, grandbabies." Except Louisa wasn't really touched or moved by the thought, she was just humoring Emrys' mom. "I don't know what's the fuss about that. The desire for parents to see their linkage continue before they die, it's silly." And she wasn't talking about Celeste, she was talking about her own mother as well... who wouldn't dare mention grandbabies in front of Louisa but she'd drop hints whenever Louisa mentioned Vashti and her kids, or Dallin and his kids. "Wait, what, you don't? I'm not surprised. You should learn how to... throw yourself out there more. Let's go dance." She stood up because she was sure he wasn't going to dance willingly, and bent to grab his wrist and pull him along if she had to. Merlin, she always found herself on a mission to fix people, Emrys had no reason to be so nervous or hold back, he was smart and look at that stubbly jaw!

"Nope, not that familiar with them either. " Even if those around them appeared to know them better. Was this what it felt like to be older and out of the loop? The auror pushing back the awkward feeling of being reminded he was slowly but surely closing in on 29 years of age.

Angelina laughed with her good heart and soul. "We're getting old," she pointed out, playfully poking him. "We need to refresh ourselves." She wanted to start by dancing, but this wasn't quite the song during which she'd dance. And anyway, the songs were good to listen to, so she did. She also clapped and cheered, but then they ended their performance too early. Booooooo.

"They were good though, weren't they?"

kayquilz · 12-17-2014, 07:14 PM

SPOILER!!: PENELOPE

Dani could tell the shoes were better off dry. Actually, weren't ALL shoes better off dry? Probably. Who wanted to swish around in WET shoes. Dani would DIE if her shoes got ruined. Though she could just go buy a new pair if she wanted.

BUT THE PRINCIPLE, OKAY?

"You sure?" she asked, setting her empty cup on the table and squinting down at the shoes...that the girl was now taking off. Welp. But she did have a nice little laugh at what she said, though. "You should feel honored, yes." Smiling, she took a seat across from her and decided she should PROBABLY introduce herself. "Name's Dani---Dani Morganzo--" she regretted saying her surname instantly because she HATED being a part of it, really. And eventually, her last name would be Rookwood anyways.

Lauralicious · 12-17-2014, 08:31 PM

Why had she come here ? All she wanted to do was not see him or her...and she saw them together. Kissing, being happy. Had he really lied to her all these months? He couldn't have possibly loved her as much as he had said...if he was already smitten...and then TDK came on stage. Vinnie hadn't seen West in such a long time it was kind of a shock..

If she hadn't gone and sat down the brunette was sure she would have fainted.

There she was now, sitting around and looking at the people here. Happily chatting away...making her feel even more miserable without knowing. This definitely had been the last time she came out for summer.

ArianaBlack · 12-17-2014, 09:05 PM

SPOILER!!: something tells me that she has a million more ideas where that came from

That was it wasn't it? He had officially ran out of steps to take. Man oh man this was bad. He had no where left to go! Unless... He could probably duck under someone's legs and make an escape that way... But he couldn't run away from her. It wouldn't be very-uh-Gryffindor of him. "I-uh-um, Agatha.... You know you're uh--" with a glance down at the space between them, which at this point was very little, "You're getting awfully close..." Did she see what she was doing?!

And also WHY was she doing it?

Grabbing his collar once more, he began tugging at it again partially due to the nerves and then the rest due to the sudden rise in temperature. Or... Was that juts him?

O_____________O

Kiss him!?! RED FLAGS RED FLAGS !! "I-uh-I guess you're right?" He nervously added a few forced chuckles in for good measure too. But he definitely didn't believe a word she said, he was only trying to hide his internal PANIC (which also clearly wasn't working by the way). WHAT ABOUT SIMON, AGATHA?!??

But before he could say OR do anything about it, Agatha was getting EVEN CLOSER and a second later she was drawing her tongue up against his face. And if she thought he was red before.... Merlin, was that Zander Adair or a blonde tomato? "Uhh----uh---" Not to mention the fact that his eyes were probably twice their usual size and his feet were now permanently glued to the ground so escape would've been hard regardless. "What was that for?!"

AlwaysSnapesGirl · 12-18-2014, 01:04 AM

Text Cut: Dani!

It didn't take very long to untie and slip off her shoes, and within seconds Penelope had her wand out and cast a quick Scourgify. Yup, that was better. All back to normal now. Her wand was put away again and she started pulling her shoes on again.

"Yeah, m'sure," she replied with a nod. Tying up one shoe, she laughed a little again. "I feel honored then." Oh, and now the girl was sitting down too. And introducing herself. Why did the last name sound familiar? Not SUPER familiar, but kinda vaguely. Maybe from Hogwarts or something. "I'm Penelope Greenwell. Did you go to Hogwarts or anything?" Or maybe one of her relatives or something.

Text Cut: Vinnie!

Wandering around Diagon Alley and this festival, David wasn't really looking for anything in particular, though he was keeping an eye out for any of his friends from Hogwarts.

Aaand finally, he spotted one.

Grinning, he casually plopped into the seat next to Vinnie. "'Sup, Vinnie. Miss me?" Of course she did. Who wouldn't miss him?

Oh well...just knock him over the head and call him Overreaction Flamsteed. Boyish grin tugging on his lips, the astronomer helped the man up and looked at the path back towards the table when the man arguably as old as some of the runes he taught - and he meant that with the utmost respect - showed that he had a sense of humor. In a loud way.

"But I think mine may be?" he chuckled as he stuck his pinky finger in his ear to pretend massage his ear drums. With one arm out to act like his colleagues bouncer, he lead them both back towards where Medea was sitting. "It's a good thing then that there are not just teenagers here then. Looks like your safe."

Back at the table now, and with some bits of the astronomer's henna paint stuck to Professor Botros' coat, he decided to stand just a little bit longer so he could see the stage a bit easier. Just in time to throw Medea an especially cheeky grin. Was she listening to this? Star-craving Mad (I'm in Love with an Astronomer) . He was fairly positive that his ears were bright red at this very moment.

SPOILER!!: Louisa! <333

The Hungarian got the exactly reaction Józsua wanted.. but instead of being edgy about it, he grinned. Well... she was smiling now so that was okay, yea? He liked that he was getting smiles and laughter out of her. Being edgy was all well and good but where was the fun in that?

He watched her tie her hair back, It didn't take away from her appeal. That hair of hers though.. he liked it a lot. He nodded. “'m gonna keep you to that.” He half pointed/half wagged his finger at her in a playful way. Ah, she'd brightened his day. Olly was great--the very best, in fact--.. but she seemed a little.. distracted at the moment. Away in her own thoughts, which worried Józsua, of course, but this light hearted respite was most definitely welcomed.

He noted the smirk. He was being teased. He didn't mind. “So.. like lessons in looking like m'sucking lemons?” The smile was back. “Do you have any tips?” His voice raised toward the end of his sentence as the music kicked in again, just as upbeat as the last song. Who was this band? Józsua loved music you could dance to.

He tried to be all serious business when she got close to him, but it was obvious he was trying and it wasn't coming naturally. He put an arm around her waist and danced with her, becoming more and more relaxed around her the more they danced.
