Adalaide wanted to grit her teeth in frustration when the guy revealed himself to be the twin, but her ears trained on one word. Squib? Of course, that must be why Chris had never attended Hogwarts! If his twin, particularly if they were identical, which Ada was fairly certain of, was a squib, Chris probably was one as well. That made total sense, of course. At the 'Eww,' though, Ada wrinkled her nose, frowning. People were so insensitive, so judgmental! It was probably the one thing in all the world she could honestly say she hated to see. And... Chalmes? That was it. He was sort of acting like he was bracing himself for her to do the same, like he'd thrown the comment out so she'd say something rude and he could move on. The idea of so many people doing that to another person that they used that bitterness as a defense mechanism made the badger see red, and she couldn't help but be upset, because if Chalmes had gone through it, then Chris probably had, too. Her fists balled up. "Well, that's just horrible! People can be so stupid sometimes. I can't even... oh, that's awful." At this point, Ada was basically talking to herself, not quite ranting just yet, but close. She honestly couldn't believe people sometimes. The horrible, arrogant nerve of some idiots... and it had obviously been quite a few idiots, if Chalmes was so sensitive about it.

Her train of thought was finally broken by Chalmes' muttering. She didn't catch it all, just the words 'git' and 'take a hint.' It was enough to draw her attention, and she followed his gaze, her eyes landing on... White Fox, again, probably pestering some other poor person who was just trying to have a good time... she was a bit surprised to see that it was a guy, though. She'd been sure he'd look for another 'adorable' dance partner. Her eyes narrowed a bit. The guy standing next to her was Chalmes, that had been established... so then, the guy Fox was talking to... was Chris, she realized, her heartbeat speeding up a bit at the realization. She inhaled sharply. Oh, he looked so good. She supposed his twin did as well, but the monochromatic suit just... well, it suited him. A blush creeped up her face. Well, this was frustrating. He was actually here, in person, like she'd hoped, and... talking to the one person in the room who made it totally impossible for her to approach him. Because there was absolutely no way she was going anywhere near that guy. Not even...

She sighed, biting her lip. Not even for Chris? She'd been totally obsessing over him all Summer, and she wouldn't go talk to him because of one stupid guy? She tried to convince herself to do it, but couldn't. She grudgingly admitted to herself that she might be too nervous to approach him, anyway. He'd been thinking about her, yeah... but she still had no earthly idea why. She supposed that she might be cute... or adorable, she thought, the word annoying her since it had come from White Fox. But still, was that enough to make a guy actually like her? And she was so awkward and timid, and she was obsessed with plants, of all things. Not exactly interesting conversation to be had there. She sighed, shuffling her feet. Nope. No self-confidence. None. At least, not in this department. Which meant there was no way she was going to be able to convince herself to even take one step towards him.

White Fox's presence was just an excuse.

❧❧❧❧❧❧Michelle was caught off guard as the White Fox asked her to dance instead. Her gaze didn't waver, even though a small part of her was curious enough to actually dance with him. It wasn't like she was afraid of him. She could take care of herself. A moment later though, while she was still debating the terrible idea, the masked man was gone. She slipped her wand away and crossed her arms over her chest. Silently silver eyes flickered between Ada and the boy who had threatened to punch faces in. The way Ada was acting.... only one person slipped into her mind. Chris. A smirk toyed on the edges of her lips as the boy revealed himself to be a squib and not who Ada was searching for. Strange wasn't it. It wasn't like Ada to get people confused.


❧❧❧❧❧❧Not a moment later, Michelle's eyes flicked to where the White Fox had reappeared. Her ears only vaugely listened as Ada ranted about horrible people and such. The Slytherin was sure the tiny girl was holding in a lot more on the subject. She always did get quite riled up about those sorts of things. She only returned her watchful gaze to her best friend when she fell silent. She couldn't help the small chuckle that escaped pale lips as the Hufflepuff blushed bright red.


❧❧❧❧❧❧"Oh come on then." She muttered, deftly lifting a pale hand to Ada's neck and guiding her through the crowd. She only paused to glance back at Chalmes. "Nice meeting you.... but try and punch me and you will regret it." She smiled sweetly at the boy, her eyes still icy cold before turning back around and making her and Ada's way over to Chris and the White Fox. She stopped in front of the two."Chris... I presume?" She asked simply, her eyes roving over him quickly, before deeming him okay enough (for now) to be with her best friend. "Ada." She said with a smirk before gently pushing the tiny girl towards the vampire.  


❧❧❧❧❧❧Her eyes then darted to the White Fox and she ground her teeth together. She would regret this later... she was sure of it, and Ada would owe her big time. She gave a small sigh and stony eyes stared up at his masked face. "I'll take you up on that dance offer.... I suppose." She muttered, holding out a pale hand to the man. Part of her would regret the decision, but she was helping Ada with the whole Chris thing, and hopefully making it up to her best friend for starting a fight about it earlier in the summer. Another part of her though, was curious and knew she could learn a lot from a simple dance. That part of her wouldn't regret it in the slightest. She would figure out who this masked man was. There wasn't a doubt in her mind about that. 



ஐWith a thousand lies, and a good disguiseஐ 
ஐHit ‘em right between the eyesஐ 
ஐWhen you walk away, nothing more to sayஐ 
ஐSee the lightning in your eyes. See ‘em running for their livesஐ

He had not expected the boy to actually say his name but then again maybe the White Fox thought about things way to hard sometimes. Why wouldn't he use his real name? Not wanting to play quiet for too long the white masked wizard nodded at the young man's statement about waiting on someone. It was an interesting thing to say as the White Fox looked over to see the you g lady he had asked to dance looking at them now. No not at them...at Chris. Well he was a little cupid and he didn't even know it. Making it easier for two little love birds to find each other in a masked dance. Sometimes he really loved his job.

"Well to be honest I have never had much luck with women, so complex but that is part of their attraction I think. Oh I had no intention of trying to sway the young lady to be with me, I was just really looking for a dance is all. Although now that I think about things, I think you are correct about her waiting on someone. "

About then the masked wizard watched as the fire inclined snake took hold of her friend and more or less dragged her over to them. The little badger looked a bit taken aback and maybe even ready to declare red her new official skin tone. The White Fox couldn't help but chuckle at the sight and even more when Michelle pushed Ada to Chris. That is called a friend.

Looking to the pale little fire serpent, White Fox tilted his head as the girl asked him to dance. More precisely was taking him up on his offer from earlier. He knew what this was for, making sure the two little love birds had enough time to themselves while the only two who could get in the way were occupied on the dance floor. The White Fox took the young ladies hand gently and gave a quick bow.

"Young miss, I would be honored to dance with you," The White Fox led the two out to the dance floor and turned to just barely place his other hand over the lady's hip, "You have my word I will not try anything. In fact I hope to make this enjoyable for you, after all such a good friend should be rewarded not punished."

●●●●●Gracie giggled quietly as he basically said he told her so. He was right, it wasn't as hard as it seemed. She didn't even have to glance down to know where his feet were and where hers should be. It was probably a little bit thanks to vampire reflexes... but still it was nice to know she wasn't going to kill his feet with her heels by the end of the night. Another giggle fell from her lips as he teased her and she rolled blue eyes at him softly. As he spun her around, eyes darted over the crowd of people, before falling on Chris with a tiny smirk. There was Ada and Chris together... perfect.


●●●●●She only deemed to answer his questions when she was safely back in his arms. Her arms found their way back around his neck, tracing cold fingers against his warm skin, lightly trailing over his pulse before intertwining together behind his neck. "My summer was fine I guess. A little boring.... " At the question of her family she resisted to urge to chew on her lip and instead graced him with a smile. "I was home for most of the summer. I only went back to the Shack a week or so ago..... I couldn't leave Chris on his own to figure out how to talk to Ada now could I?" She asked, laughing quietly as she thought about her friend. He was older than her but seemed to know so little about romance and such. In her opinion he needed all the help she could get, and she was determined to get him and Ada together, even if it was the last thing she did.

I'll be your soldier, fighting every second of the day for your dreams.
So don't stress, don't cry, we don't need no wings to fly.

A smirk trailed on Cameron's lips when Elli whispered into his ear. It was mostly out of irritation of how hard it had been to look for the girl in front of his eyes. Holding Elli's hand, he shrugged with both shoulders at her answer to him asking her to dance. After she kissed him, he said, "Come on, it'll be fun," as he pulled her towards the dance floor, or at least the part of the ground which was taken over by people who were dancing. Cameron placed his hands on Elli's waist and swayed to the music with her for a while before changing pace to a different song.

As long as you love me, we could be starving,
we could be homeless, we could be broke. As long as you love me.

The music filling the tent, the floor was filled with dancers. And the Korean Boy stood silently to the side, He was waiting for a certain person to show up. Dhyl. Yes that was who Eun was waiting on. The attractive Hufflepuff Chaser had promised him a dance. But would he actually show up? "Dhyl, where are you?" he wondered as he looked around. Is he even going to show up? he wondered.

Dhylan led his sister into the dance, feeling very out of place. It wasn't often he was a guest to such a formal affair. In fact, the only time he'd worn a suit beyond his early childhood years was his father's second marriage. Minn, on the other hand, was adoring the evening. She twirled around, letting her dress rise, just before falling back down. The girl giggled, then looked up at the only person she did know. "Dhylly, I'm gonna go find someone to dance with, 'mmkay? You stay here... or... make sure I can find you. I won't get lost, I promise!" She ran into the crowd before the boy had any hope of stopping her.

Blue eyes rolled dramatically, then looked around. Maybe he could find a companion himself? Maybe a nice girl would be willing to dance? Dance... He'd promised Eun a dance. Maybe the color-changing teen wouldn't notice him? Maybe he just had to blend... yea... blend. After slouching, the teen tried his best to look casual, but somehow still held his look of discomfort. He really hated dances, even though his father had trained him well in several classical moves.

Nicole had been staring out at the rainbow of colors surrounding her with a small wistful smile on her face. It was nice to be out among them for once instead watching from afar, and yet she still felt that way. She was older, not old just older, and had a much deeper darker outlook on life. The young love stricken lion she had once been has vanished and was replaced with a tired and almost downtrodden house cat. It was a saddening thought but true nonetheless. That's why it was such a shock when an older man came striding towards her and bent with a bow before asking her for a dance. Her eyes widened behind her ruby red mask as her hands twisted with nerves. She hadn't looked at man, let alone be in the single presence of one, in over four years. Not counting the time spent with her old boss of course, he was different. Could she handle this time of stress? Was she mentally prepared? Signs were still pointing in negative when Nicole made up her mind and gave the gentleman a curtsy and small upturn of her lips. "This lady would be honored." she responded softly.

Ⓡⓔⓜⓨ smiled, then looked into his eyes. When he said he would help her dance, she gave a small nod. Gold eyes met the ground, as though watching their feet
The girl stepped along with him, tripping and stumbling every several steps. After a while, she had managed to get her footing down, then looked back up at the boy. A small smile showed on her face, one of pride, yet also genuine happiness. She did her best to keep them at a constant pace, but as she grew more and more confident, her speed increased. Her eyes met his, both staring intensely into each other's irises. He asked about hers, so she gave him a nervous giggle. "Erm, yes. m-my... father... gave them to me... Er... genetically..." Her cheeks went pink, not because she'd lied to Yves, but because she'd mostly told the truth. Jason was sort of like her dad, and he was the reason her eyes were abnormally colored. "Your eyes are beautiful, as well. I feel like I could get lost in their depths."

Bradley smiled as Tobi said he would force him to join music club. "I said Maybe I can sing, doesn't mean I can. And there is no way I would sing there. I don't know any of them." he said as he danced. The pair moved in perfect sync. It was then he noticed his aunt watching them. Dang, I have a babysitter. he thought as he turned back to his boyfriend.

The jury's out, but my choice is you
So don't you worry your pretty little mind
People throw rocks at things that shine
And life makes love look hard
The stakes are high, the water's rough
But this love is ours ❞

His face hidden, the loud music of the surroundings covering his loud heartbeat. Or so was it? He could only see different shades of blue right now, his heavy breathing echoing in his ears. His heart was racing, his face was warm and he felt butterflies in his stomach. He still couldn’t forget the words that parted from his mouth a couple of seconds earlier; he still felt guilty and extremely happy at the same time. But why though? That, he didn’t understand.

Xavier blinked behind his mask as a warm hand rested on his arm. Her gentle voice passed through his ears, repeating it loudly inside his head. Did she just say that……she’d love to be his date…? He kept on repeating that blankly, not even realizing that she had already stolen his hat from him. “ Rea— But— Wah— “ He nervously stuttered, completely overwhelmed. He first blinked, not once, but maybe a hundred times, before chuckling to himself. He scratched the back of his head as he gave a soft sigh from his grinned lips.

Since his hat was on her head, he could at least fix his hair to make himself look better. He ran his hand through the front part of his hair, rising it up. He gazed at the girl before smiling widely. “ You look wonderful right now, have I told you that? “ He said, the lightning part of his mask shining as it was struck by the blinding light. “ And you can wear my hat for the meantime,

“ A-also, if it’s okay with you, can I have this dance? “ He blushed, extending his hand. Now, to wait for her response.
