Elena had no idea what she was doing. Make-up had been a fairly easy thing to learn from Bryn and Emily because there were charms that made it pretty impossible to mess up, but she had no idea how she was supposed to walk around in the stuff for an entire day without wiping at it, accidentally smudging it, or feeling like she was wearing some sort of mask. Sure, it looked nice, but the awkwardness Elena felt wearing it was enough to balance out whatever it may have done for her appearance.

"Showing off" her body had never really occurred to Elena until she had chosen her outfit for the ball. She had gotten attention from blokes for once because of her clothing choice. Now, she wasn't about to don her bumblebee outfit, but she did slip on a slightly more form-fitting sweater than usual.

Grimacing slightly at the nervousness that was so blatantly apparent on her features, Elena smoothed out her curls before hurrying off to meet Jacob. Of course, once she was out of the common room (and therefore safe, in her mind, from being intercepted by Sage or anyone of the sort) she slowed down considerably. She was sure Jacob would be taking his time, too. Wouldn't it be more... confident if she showed up after him? And when she got there... she was going to be confident- confident and funny and not worry about anything, because that's what blokes liked. How hard could it be, after all?

..Oh Merlin, she was doomed.

Jacob gave a little frown at first but then couldn't hold it and laughed. "No, I didn't make them myself. If I did, you'd really get to worry. I suck at knitting," he said grinning.

He told himself he had to remember that about Elena liking real flowers... "Well, flowers aren't my favorite thing I'm more fascinated by magical plants," Jacob started to say, "But Herbology is my best subject actually. I can grow anything!"

Elena felt a small spasm of panic at his frown, but it disappeared with his laughter, and her sigh of relief was easily buried underneath her laughter as is mixed in with his. "I've never tried it." And she didn't particularly plan on it anytime soon.

"Really?" Elena had hardly managed to pass her Herbology OWL. She didn't have any desire to take the NEWT class, but now she almost wished she had so she might have had the chance to ask Jacob to tutor her. That was a silly train of thought, though. "I wish I'd had you as a partner back in OWLs. You might have been able to save some of my atrocities," she said with a slightly sheepish smile.
