Sweethearts Dance

WHAT: The Annual Sweethearts Dance
WHO: Current 6th and 7th Years, Hogwarts alumni from 1994 to 1997.
WHEN: Sunday, 5:00PM
WHERE: Hogwarts, Great Hall

The Great Hall is over-the-top but luckily not a deluge of pink. Flitwick and McGonagall charmed and transfigured things to smell sweetly, sparkle, glow in soft pinks and reds, and give a general romantic feel. Think the Yule Ball, where there are round tables set up around the perimeter and an open dance floor. There is an eight-piece orchestra that takes requests, giving contemporary music, even, a classical spin. There is food galore -- mostly sweets but some savory dishes as well. Rose-water punch and strawberry ice cream. Blackberry apple cider. Chocolates. Cakes. Customizable, charmed candy hearts are available to give to your date or your best mate. There are some WWW Valentine's pinwheel fireworks overhead. If you can imagine it, it's happening.

Feel free to comment below with your character's clothes, date, anything of note that happened. Also, feel free to enjoy your own threads or reactions or whatever. Really, have fun.

Theodore/Daphne/Open

Theodore fiddled with his cufflinks as he waited for Daphne to appear in the Slytherin common room that evening. He was never really one for social events or dancing, but he had such a good time with Daphne in London, he figured they couldn't possibly not have fun at the dance as well.

No longer able to sit still, Theo stood up from his chair and started pacing through the crowded common room the best he could. Thankfully everyone's dates started showing up not too much longer after he'd gotten up and couples were leaving the common room to head to the Great Hall, giving him more room to pace.

He cast a wary glance over to the hallway that led to the girls' dormitories and was beginning to worry if Daphne had changed her mind about going with him. He took a deep breath and smoothed out the lines in the tailored black suit he was wearing, checked to see if the buttons on his matching vest were buttoned, made sure the collar of his very dark purple pinstriped button down shirt was straight and loosened the even darker purple tie from around his neck.

Daphne is your friend, she thinks of you as her friend Theodore reminded himself after he'd meticulously worked on making sure his suit was perfect. The common room was almost empty by that point, but he heard one last pair of heels clicking their way across the room from behind him and turned to see if it was Daphne.

Daphne was running late. She knew she was running late - but it had taken a bit of time to calm her down long enough to actually get her dressed, makeup and hair included. Thankfully she had only needed the bag Tracey brought once although she knew there would be weeks of teasing after this.

Smoothing her hands over her dress, she paused at the door to turn around and glance at her reflection one more time. With the help of Tracey and Pansy, they had charmed her dress to be a little less poofy than it originally was (she couldn't go out there looking like a ballerina), her long blonde hair was now pinned back with black jeweled combs and fell in soft curls to her shoulders and her makeup was natural except for the smokey eye Tracey did (there was no way Pansy was allowed to do that from the earlier raccoon comment).

Taking a deep breath, she slipped on the black heels that she had purchased with the dress and headed out before she lost her courage. There was a reason why Daphne wasn't a Gryffindor - this was it.

Swallowing hard, she continued to repeat a mantra in her head as she headed down to the common room. He's just a friend - we're going to this as friends. Bloody hell, I'm going to kill Tracey and Pansy for putting it in my head that I like him... Okay, so that last part wasn't exactly part of her original mantra but she couldn't help it. Thanks to the teasing on top of the actual date, she was now nervous. This was not like her.

With one last deep breath, she stepped out in the common room, a bit surprised to find it empty except for Theo. A smile lit up her face as she made her way over to him. "Hey you...sorry I'm late. Hair emergency." she replied, walking over to him, her eyes roaming over his suit. He looked nice dressed up. Really nice. "And no, I didn't turn it pink again."

	Continuing to watch the dance floor, there were times when Chris felt as if he were spying on rather intimate moments. Yet, here he was once again focusing his camera in order to get the best pictures of the night. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
