Valentine's Ball
The Great Hall was decorated brilliantly for the Valentine's Ball. The night sky twinkled, and the sky glistened from the image of snow falling overhead (despite it not actually falling to the ground).

Animated cupids adorned the walls, shooting sparkling arrows at one another. Pink and red streamers were hung haphazardly, moving with the motion of the air.

Fountains of punch (dyed pink and red for the holiday) were available on several tables throughout the room, as well as a chocolate fondue fountain. The long tables for each house were replaced by small circular tables, each with scattered pieces of candy.

Students were invited to the dance floor, while a band played covers of classic wizard and muggle songs, as well as some of their own originals.

((Keep all storylines that take place at the ball in this thread!))

"Ever the charmer," Faye smiled widely as she looked up at Stavros. Even in heels there was still a significant difference in height between them.

"I must say you're looking quite dashing yourself," she complimented him,"one would almost assume you're out to get even more singing Valentines next year."

She took a sip of her drink. "Because,really, nothing says 'you're special' like a mass-produced sentiment sung in by someone else," Faye chuckled, rolling her eyes.

	"Hopefully, singing Valentines fall out of fashion once one leaves Hogwarts. But thank you," he said, chuckling in his turn. Stavros looked around the room. "So, are you having fun yet?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Ah, don't count on it. My mother still gets them," Faye grimaced at the thought of being that old and still receiving the nasty, little buggers.

She smiled at his question. "I'm not really having fun yet, though your company certainly brightened my evening." She glanced at the table full of punch. "I think it will only get interesting once they start spiking the drinks," she said. There was a reason why she was drinking so early. Knowing most of the Slytherin boys, it was very likely things would be shaken up soon.

"How about you? Have you seen that nice girl yet?" She asked, turning back to him, "what was her name again? Scarlett?"

So much for having something to look forward to upon leaving Hogwarts.

"I'm glad to hear it," he said amiably. "And no, I'm not really actively looking for anyone tonight. Assuming there are any interesting girls here, the idea of hooking up with one on Valentine's Day is a bit too much for my sensibilities." He smiled wryly. People tended to be a bit silly when it came to not spending Valentine's Day alone, and he didn't want to fall victim to somebody's desperation. Not that he was an easy catch on any other day of the year.

Faye laughed softly. "You are far too wary sometimes," she said mildly, "I know some girls can get quite...desperate... to be with someone on Valentine's Day, but they're not all bad."

Why she was defending the other female students, she had no idea. Truth be told, if they happened to be without a partner, most of them were just out to hook up with someone on this particular date. However, her friend needed to let his guard down once in a while.

"You need to let your guard down from time to time," she repeated her thoughts aloud, "you know, loosen up a bit."

Like she was one to talk.
