Truth be told, Teddy was extremely excited. He had been almost desperately awaiting tonight since he had finally sorted his head out and owled Elizabeth four days previous with the tentative plan of how their date would go. Really though, he was still processing the fact that he had a date in the first place. He had been mildly shocked when the Slytherin had bid on him at the auction, but had by no means been upset. Indeed, it was more than he could have hoped for. Ever since they first began to talk properly and consider one another as more than schoolmates, he had been finding that his affection for her tended to grow every time they were together. The more time he spent with her, the more he found that he enjoyed her company. Although he still couldn't confess to knowing Elizabeth particularly well, he was extremely fond of what he did know and therefore, he was excited to see what the date would hold for the pair of them.

Teddy had made a request to the house elves that morning (by leaving a note for them with his laundry) and had been pleased to see a basket of his listed food sitting on his bed when he'd come back from class. He had also checked the weather forecast in the Prophet that morning, pleased to see that it would be a clear and crisp autumn evening. Indeed, everything seemed to be going according to plan and he couldn't have been more thankful for it. He had taken his time in getting ready, opting to stay in his dorm as his friends made their way down to dinner. Eventually (after changing more times that he'd care to admit) he was happy with his appearance and was ready to leave. Before exiting the dormitory, he grabbed his broomstick and slung it over one shoulder before picking the basket up and leaving. He knew that he had plenty of time and so he wandered slowly towards the Entrance Hall to await his date, a rather nervous bubble of anticipation beginning to form in the pit of his stomach. Eventually he made it to his destination with a little bit of time to spare. Moving out of the way of passing students, Teddy stood near the front doors as he waited for Elizabeth to arrive.

If Elizabeth was being completely honest with herself, she'd actually admit that she liked Teddy much more than she should. There was a weird sort of feeling that would occur when she actually thought on it, and she actually rather terrified of it all. She didn't know nor think that Teddy reciprocated those feelings, but if he did in some way then she knew better than anyone that it wouldn't be easy. Hell, it'd probably be one of the most difficult things she'd ever experienced. However, in spite of all those paralyzing thoughts, she couldn't shake the feeling that it would be worth it. She was rather excited about what her night with Teddy would bring, and actually hadn't been able to concentrate on anything else earlier in the day. When she had first bid on Teddy she hadn't expected that they would even be going on a date since her intentions were strictly to save him from having an extremely awkward date with someone he barely knew. However, after a while, she couldn't seem to shake the feeling that there was more to her original intentions.

It took her a while for her to get her act together. After all, she had to wait until her dorm had emptied out. She had elected not to tell Francesca about their date simply because she was prone to overreacting, and in some ways, she wanted to keep this - whatever Teddy and her were - safe and close to her, and that would have been impossible if she had let her friend know. She had originally explained to her friend that she had only bid on Teddy because she owed him a favour, and she was going to stick with that explanation. She took her time getting ready, making waves in her hair, and probably putting way too much effort in. Nevertheless, eventually she was happy with her appearance, and walked briskly towards the agreed meeting place. After six years, she knew the castle well so it didn't take her long to get there. The first glimpse of the boy brought a smile to her lips, which stayed firmly in its place when she reached him. "Hi Teddy," she greeted, a hint of timidness in her voice. However, once she noticed the boy's broom she raised an eyebrow. "So what are we actually doing?" she asked, the timid nature of her voice suddenly becoming amused. Elizabeth took a few moments to take the boy's appearance in before she spoke again. "You look brilliant," she noted in a soft tone.

Teddy had been peering at the floor absent-mindedly as he waited for Elizabeth to show up, therefore he hadn't seen her approach. When he heard his name however, he perked up and couldn't stop himself from smiling at the sight of her. "Hi!" he replied, his tone enthusiastic as he pushed himself off of the wall in order to stand before her. Peering down at her, he allowed himself a moment to take in her appearance. It was at that moment that she complemented him, making a none too subtle blush taint his cheeks. Moving a hand up to scratch nervously at the back of his neck, he shrugged awkwardly. "Thanks," he muttered, "But you look amazing enough for the both of us."

As Elizabeth mentioned his broom, Teddy chuckled slightly. "I figured that we could go for a broom ride, if you were up for it?" Once again looking down at her outfit, he shrugged stiffly, "Completely up to you, of course." He felt that he had babbled on a bit too much by this point, and so he moved to stand beside the Slytherin after picking up the basket and his broom. Extending his free arm out to her, he smiled, "Shall we?"
