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.

This was silly, really. He couldn't, shouldn't, like her. He was Head Boy and she was...well, she had her good points, she supposed, but for a moment she just felt like she should leave him be and let someone more deserving fall for him. But that wasn't in Lisa's vocabulary-letting someone have what she wanted. "I do, Tony. A lot, actually," she said finally.

Her heart melted a bit as he smiled in return, and she was sure her blush was back full force when he spoke. "I think I like you," she said suddenly. Her eyes opened wide, and she almost willed the words back in. "Uh...I mean..." What could she say? For once, she didn't want to lie. "I mean I like you," she repeated.

Tony looked at her and cocked his head. Lisa. Lisa liked him. Did she mean like, or simply enjoyed his company? It wasn't like Lisa to like a boy for something other than snogging, at least not from his experience. And they had done none of that. Snogging, that is. So maybe she just meant it all friendly-like.

Then again, his mother had insisted that he wear a suit. The suit. The one he wore to the best operas and ballets, to please her.

"I'm glad to hear that." There, that avoided any awkwardness until he better understood how she liked him. Right? Right. He put on his smile again, righting a piece of her hair that had flown up and into a weird position.

Between the smile and his reaching to fix her hair, Lisa was a pile of jello. She wasn't always the best at hiding her emotions at the best of times, but she certainly wasn't used to this. She already could tell how much more she liked Tony than any boy and they hadn't even made a move towards snogging. She knew she wanted to; every fiber of her being wanted to pull him to her and snog the life out of her, and she had to bite her lip to prevent herself from doing so.

She took a deep breath and exhaled. The night was so pretty and she didn't want to ruin it, but she also didn't want to get her hopes up too far on someone who couldn't like her back. "Tony," she said quietly, moving her thumb over their linked fingers, "I know I'm...that I might not be the kind of girl you would normally like but...do I have any chance? At all?" She looked up at him expectantly, her heart beating all the faster.

What kind of girl did he normally like? Did he have a type? Did someone forget to tell him he had a type? Did the girls know something he didn't?

He realised his inner questioning had wrinkled his nose, so he cleared his throat and shrugged at her. "I honestly don't see why you wouldn't have a chance, I guess?" Because honestly, he had no idea what she was talking about. He'd been snogged once, and he didn't even know who'd done it. It wasn't like he targeted the same types of girls. For the most part, he had more important things to do.

The fact that Anthony kept not shooting her down but not being enthusiastic or overly encouraging was driving Lisa mad. So many other boys would have snogged her or walked away at this point, and of course that just highlighted how different Anthony was and therefore increased how much Lisa liked him. Finally, Lisa couldn't take the ambiguity any more.

She still resisted the urge to just leap at him, but she had to know if he felt even a little of the electricity that Lisa did. Keeping eye contact him, Lisa leaned forward slowly, hesitating just as they were close. She gave him a slight smile before closing the gap between them by bringing her lips to his in a sweet kiss. She closed her eyes, not wanting to see if he had a horrified look on his face, and after a very nice moment, pulled back to gauge his reaction.

The first time Anthony got kissed, he'd been drunk and it was by an unknown. This time, however, he'd seen the kiss come, expected the moment when Lisa's lips touched his, and watched her close her eyes. It was an incredibly different sensation. And he really liked it.

When Lisa pulled back, he frowned. That was it? He had already learned, from his previous experience, that that wasn't how kisses were supposed to go. He closed the gap between them and brought her to him again, for a longer kiss. He lef this lips mold against hers, let them learn the softness of her touch. Once he felt comfortable enough, he let his lips guide hers apart, allowing his tongue to lap playfully just under her upper lip.

Lisa had been hoping for a positive response. Heck, she would have been happy with a neutral response so long as he didn't shoot her down outright. What she didn't expect was him to pull her to him again, and to deepen their kiss. For a moment she was too shocked to even close her eyes, but she felt herself relax and mold herself to his lips. For a boy who hadn't much experience (as far as she knew, the kiss she had arranged between himself and Dani was the entirety of his experience, though she could be wrong), he certainly had good instincts for snogging. Her heart beat all the harder as he guided her lips apart with his, and she wasted little time deepening the kiss and touching her tongue with his.

Her hand went to his face; Lisa wasn't sure how she expected this dance to go, but she couldn't have imagined it going any better than this. Her head buzzed and she knew she should probably come up for air but she didn't want to be the first to pull away. Not now, anyway, when felt so nice and this felt so right. Lisa brought her hand to the back of his neck and moved all the closer to him.

Anthony smiled and moved in closer to her, bringing one hand around her thigh. He liked this, the way it felt, the way she felt. Contact with her tongue exuded a moan from deep in his chest, and he smiled around her lips.

Finally, though, he had to breathe, and he pulled back from her with a light gasp. It wast strange, to feel a loss of contact. To feel like something had been lost, just because he took his lips off of Lisa's.

What a scary, scary emotional sensation.

She was hyper aware of his hand on her thigh-it wasn't like he was trying to take anything further, his hand there seemed to be a way for him to be closer to and connect to her. She gently messaged his neck, smiling as he moaned into her lips. This felt much, much better than she expected it to.

It was with a little bit of protest that she felt him pull back and she sucked in air into her hungry lungs. She kept her hand on his neck, her eyes on his, a smile still on her lips. Her cheeks burned a bit as she kept his gaze, but she didn't let that stop her from saying, "Um..wow."

It wasn't very articulate, but she felt rather giddy at the moment.
