Kieron froze up almost immediatly at what Fin said. He had just brought up the one subject that he wasn't wanting to talk about at all that night, that he had tried to forget about for the most part and have a good time at the ball. Letting out a long sigh, he rubbed the back of his head, trying not to get overly stressed. He knew that he could probably trust Fin. He was his friend, after all. "Well, interesting that you brought that up.." He replied lowly, eyes moving away from Fin's face. "We're not together anymore. A couple of days ago, we broke up at the lake. He didn't want to be with me anymore because of my supposed 'maturity' level and that I couldn't be able to carry on for a 'mature' relationship. Merlin, he even called me a child Fin! I mean, I do act childish at times still, but.." The sixth year replied fully and with a slight hint of anger, trying not to get really upset or anything pathetic like that. Leaning against the wall, he crossed his arms and looked downwards. "So..now you know. Thats how things have been going. They're not anymore." Kieron said quietly and bitterly.

Fin didn't know what to say. He actually regretted even asking Kieron about Algernon. "Well ummm, damn man, that sucks...well, is there anything I can do to help maybe?"

[Kieron E'Drien]

Kieron shook his head, looking up at Fin and trying to smile for his friend. "Nah, it's okay. It's not your problem to deal with, it's mine. Lets just try to enjoy the ball, all right?" He replied, standing up straight and offering a chuckle. "Sorry about venting out on you like that though, it's just, you know..it's hard." He admitted, placing his hands into his pockets. "I just need to move on with my life. See whats in store for me. Maybe i'll even find the right guy next time I go out with a guy, right?" The sixth year smiled at the thought, now glancing over the rest of the ball and his eyes landing over the food past the bar. "Mmm. I'm starving! You want to go get something to eat? Some of the food looks quite tasty, actually." The gryffindor chuckled as his stomach growled, looking towards Fin and waiting for his answer.

(OOC: um guys? Alana is still waiting for someone to ask her to dance.)

Ashlee shrugged. "We can dance if you want to... I'm not hungry at the moment." she said looking at the food. "It looks good tho." she said laughing.

Leigh took her hand and lead her out to the dance floor, a smile hidden by his mask. "Damn these masks." Leigh said, laughing. "I wish you could see my face to see the glee on my face." He placed his hand on her waist as he pulled her into him, ready to begind dancing.

[Lisa Turpin]

Lisa walked through the door, swallowing hard, looking around the many tables, feeling even more intimidated as the loud music reached her ears. She had never taken so long to choose an outfit as she had for this occasion, and she was feeling sketchy about the current dress that adorned her body.

It was a sapphire blue and was slightly slim-fitting down to her waist. At her hips it flew more freely, reaching just below her knees. She had chosen to wear white strappy sandals with a heel higher than she would have liked, but she was quite short to begin with and decided it was better in the long run. She looked simple, yet elegant but still felt completely awkward.

I wish we could just wear our Hogwart's robes. She thought glumly to herself, tripping over her heels as she began walking. Embarrassed at her clumsiness, she quickly hid her face behind the white, feathered mask she had decided to wear. It had made her giggle when she first saw it.

Feeling her heart rate speed up as she continued walking, she looked around for Fin. She had been extremely nervous for hours before the ball, and felt her palms sweat. Tripping over her heels once again, she cursed, before her eyes glanced around the room.

[James McFinnigan]

Fin never responded to Kieron. "Yeah, listen, I gotta..." he said, as he walked forward into the light, looking at Lisa. She was beautiful tonight, and his jaw had dropped as soon as he saw her. "L-Lisa? Is that you?" He couldn't believe how good she looked. "Wow...you...look, beautiful..." he trailed off.

[Ashlee Van Dort]

AJ smiled. "I can feel it through your touch." she said as he placed his hand on her waist. She positioned herself and waited for him to start leading...

[Prof Octavious Everritt]

Leigh smiled, wondering how she could feel it. Maybe the warmth radiating off his hand? He didn't bother. He stepped forward confidently as he began to dance with Ashlee.

[darkvampireangel]

Alana sighed. She had been sitting there for twenty minutes and no one had asked her to dance yet! Of course she had to admit she wasn't exactly moving around and socializing with people.

[Ashlee Van Dort]

Ashlee giggled as they began to dance. She followed his every lead, wondering why he was so good at dancing. She didn't care tho, she was having fun. She looked around and noticed Lisa walk in she sent her a friendly smile.

[Kieron E'Drien]

Kieron chuckled and shook his head as his friend walked off to meet his date, looking spellbound almost as she entered the Great Hall. "It seems i'm going alone then on my quest to get food and quell this empty stomach of mine." He mused to himself jokingly, walking across the hall towards the food. Reaching the food, he took something off the table and munched on it quietly, looking out towards the students dancing in partners on the dance floor. It entertained him somewhat, but he wondered who he was going to talk to next.

[Prof Octavious Everritt]

Leigh loved to dance, his every motion showed his emotion. He was thrilled to be dancing, showing the students how to dance, though he didn't know if anyone recognised him for being himself.

He looked down at Ashlee and her wide smile. She leant her head on his shoulder, as the dance finished.

"You may go and speak with your friends now," Leigh said, as Ashlee slowly let go of him. A sudden sadness swelled inside of Leigh as she left and went to talk to other people.

Leigh turned to see a girl, sitting by herself, looking somewhat frustrated by the stiff way she sat.

"If it isn't Alana." Leigh said, seeing the vampiric eyes through the mask. "May I ask for a dance?"

[darkvampireangel]

Alana saw a Gryffindor watching the other students dance. It was Kieron. She walked over to him. "Hey Kieron. Having a good time?" she asked.

[Ashlee Van Dort]

Ashlee watched Leigh walk over to another student as she headed for some water. She took her mask off momentarily as she grabbed some water. She turned around and watched the dancing students as she slowly sipped on her water.
