Margaux giggled as she watched Maria look over Daryl appraisingly. She knew the girl was calculating to see if he was worth their time and attention. “Ma belle, I would nevair reveal your identity without your say so,” she purred, reaching up and playing with a lock of Maria’s hair. She blew a kiss to Cordelia and Lily Potter as the redhead dragged her off to get a drink with a rather sullen looking boy. Giving a half shrug, Margaux’s attention turned back to Maria, and Daryl she supposed. “Evidently, she eez too innocent for us,” she said lightly, giving a tinkle of a laugh. She leaned over and gently nibbled Maria’s earlobe. “What next?” she asked, feigning innocence she had lost a very long time ago. speaking to: @maria , @jill16 referencing: cordelia regan smith , lily luna potter

Irina felt the usual thrill when Dan took her by the waist and began to dance. She quickly found that she really had nothing to worry about at the Yule Ball; clearly he knew what he was doing. Not that she had ever really doubted it, but it had been fun to joke around with Ripley on the idea of Dan stepping on her feet as they danced. “Too ra loo ra too ra loo rye aye!” she sang along when the lyrics came to the only part Irina was one hundred percent sure that she knew about. She’d never paid them any mind before tonight; the song rhythm itself was a lot of fun with all the string instruments, but hearing Dan sing them she realized how oddly fitting they were for that moment. “You should sing more often darling,” she told him, kissing him on the nose as he spun her in again. “At least now I know the only thing at Yule Ball I have to worry about is someone accidentally stepping on my dress,” she added teasingly. Her dress had a bit of a train in the back; she could pick it up obviously, but she liked the way it fluttered out when she spun in it.

Apparently the wave in Lily’s direction was enough to draw her attention. That was good, she had been getting rather tired of dancing, even though it was only for a few minutes. It probably got easier with a little practice, but now wasn’t the time to put that to the test. But here came Lily regardless, with some random boy being dragged along. That seemed like the Gryffindor’s doing, since the same had happened to both her and Lucy right when they arrived to the party. Now was the chance to go off and do something else for a change though. It looked as if Lily had finished her meet and greet, something Cordelia had been paying close attention to the entire time she was being taught how to dance. “Sure.” She nodded her head, agreeing to going and getting a drink with the two. Waving goodbye to the other three, Cordelia turned around to face Lily and the boy, who introduced himself as Edmund. “C-Cordelia. N-Nice to m-meet you…”

Viola didn't know how they had heard about the party. They weren't in enough social circles to have heard it directly from anyone, but it was like the party just imprinted itself on their consciousness - one moment it wasn't there, and the next moment it was. The room that they found themself in was already crowded with people, and Viola took a deep breath. No need to panic, they were just people. But they barely knew anyone from any of the schools, so going into the throng of people was a daunting task. There was only one person that Viola was really interested in seeing. As they moved through the crowd, Viola had to dodge people dancing and flailing and looking like they were having the time of their lives. Maybe if Viola didn't find the person she was looking for, they would join them.
looking for: @roxanne if the rest of y'all wanna say they're near you, go right ahead

Roxy laughed. "Yeah, that's Lily alright. Always making things fun." She took Andy's offered hand and lifted it her for her to do a spin, rather than actually answering her question about whether she had come to dance with her - of course she had! It was hardly elegant, but it was good fun.
She was still dancing with Andy, bopping cheerfully, when she spotted Viola and waved, beckoning them over with a smile. ”Hi Viola! Been here long?” she asked, and held out her hand to give them a spin too.

It wasn't all that difficult for Viola to find Roxy, and for that, they were grateful. They saw Roxy right as she was spinning a dark-haired girl, and looking slightly clumsy in the process. Viola cracked a smile, and they while they were glad to find Roxy easily, they were even gladder that Roxy seemed happy to see them. When asked if they had been there long, Viola shook their head. "Just got here, actually. I was looking for someone I knew." Viola paused. In the interest of honesty, they added, "I was looking for you, to be more specific." When Roxy offered her hand, Viola spun as they had seen the dark-haired girl do before, face flushing a little as they did so. Turning to the aforementioned dark-haired girl, Viola cocked their head at her. "Viola Chase. Durmstrang." They greeted. A handshake felt too formal for the party scene, so they just smiled instead.

Axel shrugged, "No, I didn't think that, but out of everyone in here I thought you'd be the most fun." Hopefully she wouldn't mind him saying that, but they were already dancing and they were friends, so it wasn't a big deal. Axel shook his head a little when she told him that he should've been faster if he wanted to ask her to dance. "I'm good either way," he said, "I was just messing around with you." Not that that would come as a surprise. Axel was a tease as a general rule. He shrugged again when she told him that he danced well. "I have older sisters," he said, like that explained everything. Then he realized that maybe it didn't. "They taught me how to dance a long time ago so I could dance with them and not shame the family."
She wasn't going to the Ball? Axel was starting to get an idea. Lucy was his friend and she wasn't going to the Ball and neither was he. "Well ... I've been planning on going, but I'm not really going with anyone yet either. Would you want to go one with me?" Yup. He did just ask her straight out. That's the way that Axel worked. He wasn't one to beat around the bush and he figured he might as well ask her. If she didn't want to go with him, that was fine.

@margaux , @maria <3 Daryl watched as Lily dragged Cordelia away and he laughed. Lily of course knew Daryl very well, and knew his actions and the things he did. He got around very well and very frequently, and Daryl knew how shy and innocent Cordelia was. Lily obviously didn't want him to ruin that for her. He shrugged as he turned back to these two girls, both from opposite schools, both insanely gorgeous, and almost immediately Daryl's thoughts went somewhere else; he wanted them both. Raising an eyebrow, he looked them both up and down. "I'll earn that any day, darling."

The types of house parties that happened in every teenage movie that had ever existed weren't too common at Hogwarts. At least, Gwendolen hadn't experienced very many parties in her time at school, but that might have had something to do with her being in Ravenclaw and not, for example, Gryffindor.
From what she had heard, it was Lily Potter who had managed to organize the night's party in the Room of Requirement. The event wasn't being held under the noses of the school's staff, either, and there were a handful of Aurors there to chaperone.
Schoolwork could be put aside for the night, particularly when everyone was enjoying themselves. Gwen, herself, was dressed in the sort of Muggle clothing that she would have worn to a party at home, and the atmosphere inside of the Room of Requirement felt far removed from the norm for a school function.
Earlier on, she had flitted about the room like the social butterfly that she was, making small talk with the people who happened to be near her. There was one person whose absence she felt, no matter how many others there were. Most of the attendees looked like her peers from Hogwarts. Gwendolen was sure that she hadn't seen Dastan yet, and she kept her fingers crossed that he would show, even though he was from Beauxbatons. They weren't anything other than friends—yet, anyway—but she did like him. A lot.
Glancing at some of the students who looked to be getting quite comfortable with one another, Gwen avoided rolling her eyes. She would have been out on the dance floor, easily, but she was afraid that she would miss Dastan if he walked in. Watching the door was beginning to get tiring, yet Gwen hadn't lost hope. “Please let him show,” she whispered to no one in particular.
The commotion would have been too much for Xanthippe to handle, Gwen thought, but she wouldn't have minded seeing her there, either. Xan needed some cheering up, and there was no better way to accomplish that than with a party.

Dastan couldn't decide what he wanted to do. He heard there was a party going on in the Room of Requirement and yes, he did remember where it was, but he wasn't sure whether he wanted to go or not. Sure, he wanted to see Gwen, but he didn't even know if she would be there and if she wasn't, he didn't really want to go. He didn't want to watch all the students pair off and dance with one another while he had no one to dance with. Still, what if she was there? What if she was there looking for him? Or worse, what if she was there and some other boy was asking her to dance with him? Ultimately, that's what made up his mind. He couldn't stand the thought of someone else dancing with her.
He was late, but he wasn't the only one. There were still bunches of people arriving at the party. As he approached the door, Dastan made a split-second decision to sneak inside behind one a gaggle of giggling girls. He had a plan. He would stay in the shadows and look around the room, searching for Gwen. If she was there, he would go up to her and talk. If she wasn't there, he could leave and no one would care.
It surprised Dastan how quickly he found her. She was standing close to a wall, her attention entirely focused on the door. Was she waiting for someone? No matter, Dastan already knew what he was going to do, so he walked up behind her and made himself do it. "Hey Gwen," he said softly. He wasn't exactly trying to scare her, but he wondered if he'd make her jump by his sudden appearance. "Are you waiting for someone or would you like to dance?" He hadn't planned to say that, but he was glad that he did. Dastan was certain she wouldn't turn down the opportunity to dance with him, even if she was waiting for someone. He still hoped she'd tell him if she was waiting for another person, but he wanted to claim her attention first.

Lily giggled as Cordelia introduced herself to Edmund. "Cordelia here is my favorite person in the world," Lily explained, throwing an arm over Cords shoulders and moving her toward the drink table. "Sorry Cord, nothing that'll make you tipsy over here," Lily teased, winking and grabbing herself a glass of water, all the while her arm around Cordie.

River nodded as Susan explained what Casey did. "Well, that's great for him," he commented. As they danced, she asked about Sim with that wink and smile. Last year that would have floored him, but now he felt nothing. But normal embarrassment, that is, His ears burned, "she... uh, I think she likes it," he answered awkwardly. Then he saw Andromeda pushing toward them and he released Susan, taking a step back. "I think someone is looking for you," he pointed, before giving Susan a small bow. "Goodnight, Su," then he was making his way to the door, having the sudden urge to locate a certain blonde Gryffindor...

Andy actually laughed when Roxy spun under her arm. They continued to dance but soon Roxy noticed another friend that Andy didn't know. Andy kept dancing, but it had slowed down just a bit. She nodded as they introduced themselves and smiled politely, "Andy," was all she said. She leaned toward Roxy so her fellow lion could hear her, "I'm gonna say goodnight to Susan and head out. Thanks," she gave Viola one more nod before turning back to sift through the crowd to find Susan. It wasn't long til she found her as River was leaving her, "hey, Su, I'm about to call it."

“Hey, Gwen.” She recognized his voice instantaneously, and the shock that she felt upon hearing it suddenly melted away. Dastan had come, but how had she not seen him? She would have to figure that one out at a later time; she was just thrilled that he had come.
Gwendolen had never experienced butterflies in her stomach as intensely as she did when she was around Dastan, but she pushed through them. “Hey.” she grinned back at him, glad that her voice hadn't come out as some sort of an annoying squeak, a reflection of how she was squealing internally.
“Are you waiting for someone,” he began, “or would you like to dance?” Gwen glanced at the door again, but she knew that she had to take him up on his invitation. If Xanthippe was feeling well enough to attend, she would just have to forgive her.
Wanting to appear casual without sounding uninterested in actually dancing with him, Gwen chose to answer Dastan honestly. She didn't think that she had ever brought up Xanthippe or her illness before, but she didn't want to hide Xan's condition. She didn't think that was fair to her best friend—or to Dastan, considering the amount of time that she usually spent at Xan's bedside in the Hospital Wing.
“I was hoping that my best friend would be here.” Gwen hoped that her comment hadn't sounded too bad. “She's been ill all year.” She didn't want to add in the details, considering that there was still a possibility that Xan could die. That was too morbid for what was meant to be a happy party.
“I'll see her in the morning, though.” It was more for herself than for Dastan that Gwen added that comment. By the time the party came to an end, it would be too late to stop by the Hospital Wing, especially since it was so far out of the way. She smiled again, unable to help herself. “Let's dance.”
