Characters: Everyone!
Setting: Great Hall, evening of Saturday, 30 October
Content: SFW
Summary: Everybody parties at the Halloween Ball!

This is your ball post, everyone! Here's how this will go.

Different locations in the Great Hall will be posted as separate comments, which will include a little description of each. These will be the Entrance Hall, the Dance Floor, and the Tables. You should reply to any/all of these comments with your character, and if other characters reply to that subthread, they are interacting with your character. Please indicate in the subject whether your character's subthread is open or whether it has participants in mind already (EG, maybe John is at the ball and taking a break from dancing at the tables, waiting to see if someone comes up to him, so the title for his comment would be "Jack/Open", but maybe Jill is meeting Adam at the ball, so she would reply to the Entrance Hall thread with "Jill/Adam" in the subject).

Please wait to reply the ball until all the comment locations are up. Backdating of threads/journals related to the ball is allowed until Tuesday, and posting placeholders is not allowed. If you have any questions, feel free to PM the mod account!

Remus/Dorcas/Open

Remus was fidgeting with the rose in his hand. He was trying not to keep looking nervously around the room, but it was hard; with everyone in costume all the faces were blurring together and he couldn't make heads of tails of what was going on.

Just when Remus was starting to worry that he was going to be left out in the Entrance Hall waiting, he turned one last time to see Dorcas walking toward him, looking positively gorgeous if he did say so himself. Holding up the rose for her and feeling amazingly relieved. When Dorcas wrapped her arms around him, he hugged her back, goose bumps rising on his back as she whispered her thanks in his ear and then kissed his cheek. The exposed portion of his face blushed, but it didn't matter.

"Uh, you're welcome," he replied a little awkwardly. "And thank you, for tolerating all the secrecy."

He took her hand and turned with her toward the Great Hall, walking past Filch, not really sure if they should find the others first or dance or what.

"You reckon we should find the others first?" Remus asked, still grinning like a bit of an idiot.

Remus/Dorcas/Open

Dorcas smile hadn't faded once since she had approached Remus. She couldn't exactly explain how she felt in that particular moment. She was relieved that Remus ended up being her mystery man but she also felt a sense of panic. Dorcas wasn't one for any type of relationship, she'd seen the disaster of Kira's and Rabastan's and that scared the crap out of her. Dorcas had a irrational fear of letting anyone get her the way Rabastan previously had Kira, though, what Dorcas was feeling was suggesting that maybe Remus already had her, maybe she actually did fancy him. She pushed all thoughts of that nonsense to the back of her mind, relying on the idea that they were friends and this date would be specifically be a platonic one.

Her eyes wandered on all the students and their costumes. Some had proved to be more creative than others but everyone looked pretty fantastic. She looked back up at Remus as he took her hand and spoke to her. "You're lucky I even made it here, I reckon if I had to wait any longer Lily would have had to send me to the nut house." She teased, with a grin on her face, hoping he'd catch her jest. "Secrets drive me up the wall." she paused. "But I suppose this was a rather good one." She added, the grin still spread across her lips.

"Oh," Dorcas wasn't completely sure. She definitely wanted to eventually catch up with all of her friends. Especially, Doc and Molly. She didn't want the ball to overshadow Molly's birthday even if they had celebrated the night before. They lingered in the hallway as her eyes took their surroundings in. She lead Remus into the hall by the hand before raising an eyebrow. "Have you got moves?" she asked suggestively at Remus as she motioned towards the dance floor. Dorcas wasn't one for dancing. Her mother had forced her into ballet classes and Dorcas rather enjoyed it but she always felt a little out of place. But Dorcas decided to put that all way tonight, deciding to have fun. She probably wouldn't dance seriously, though, hopefully she and Remus would have a few laughs.

Remus smiled, extremely thankful she wasn't cross with him about the secret. He thought for a second about actually admitting to Dorcas how nervous he had been and the fact he didn't have the nerve to actually ask Dorcas himself, but that wasn't exactly manly and confident sounding. It made him sound like a coward.

"Well, I'm glad Lil could help keep you sane," he smiled. "And I hope the chocolate frog was delicious."

Ah, dancing. Remus himself was not the greatest dancer. In fact, he was rather bad at it. His mum had put him in dance classes for a few years in an attempt to make him well rounded, but it was different from the fast dancing he could see happening on the dance floor at present.
