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!

Sirius laughed at Trish's response to his chat up line, knowing that she was joking about taking points. He would have responded, but it was a bit loud as they navigated the crowd. Once they had settled in place, and the upbeat music began to play far too loudly (just as Sirius liked it), Trish settled her arms around Sirius' neck and his grin switched from charming to something slightly more wicked.

One of the reasons Sirius liked Trish so much, besides of course that she was fit and older and American and thereby interesting, was that she was quite the flirt. Unlike many girls, who he had to actually spend some time flattering before they would play his games, Trish was willing to have a little fun whenever he was. When she said in his ear that he should try to keep up, he let out a barklike laugh and wrapped both of his arms around her waist. As soon as she stopped holding him at a distance, he pulled her in closer, hands slipping perhaps just a bit lower than they should have been.

He was moving with the music as well; as if he wasn't infuriatingly good enough at everything else, Sirius Black was an excellent dancer and he could certainly move his hips. As he pulled Trish closer to him, their bodies almost pressed flush, he leaned in to her ear this time and said "How about you try to keep up, hmm?" Then, flirtatiously, he gave her earlobe a light nip, after which he pulled his head back a bit, wicked mischief written all over his handsome features.

Now that their dance was in full swing, Trish was easily taken up in the song. She couldn't really help Sirius was so enjoyable to be around. They understood each other for the most part, and neither ever wanted anything more than what was offered. It was a win-win situation, as far as she was concerned. He was perhaps one of the most sought after boys in the school despite his age, so why wouldn't she enjoy herself in the time he'd given her? Sure their dancing didn't exactly involve the same dynamic as her dancing with Ed; that was a bit more carefree and innocent in comparison. It wasn't a bad sorta different, just different in general. Ed spent a lot of the evening trying to embarrass her and make himself out to be a fool, and that was well received, too. However, now that the alcohol had kicked in, Trish had pretty much lost her sense of reserve. If he was pursuing her, she was going to dish it out right back, especially now that he'd challenged her!

As the boy leaned in to nip her earlobe, she shivered slightly before a sly smile crept upon her lips to mimic his own. Two could play that game! Trish reached for his arms and ran her hands down to his on her backside, lacing her fingers with Sirius' as she turned around and began dancing with her back to him. It was probably a good thing her dress was so covering at this point, otherwise there could have been some serious issues with the way the two were moving together. Trish looked over her shoulder to see how her partner was receiving her movements, allowing it to continue a little longer before turning around again and cupping her hands around his neck. One hand toyed with his chain mail collar before reaching up to play with his hair. Her smile had been exchanged for a more serious expression as they continued to dance. Leaning in to his ear again, Trish rested her cheek against Sirius' before adding a comment. "That's how it's done in the US, pome," she teased. Although the term 'pome' was typically taken as a derogatory one referring to a 'prisoner of mother England,' it was a common exchange between Trish and any Brits she considered among her friends.

Smiling as she withdrew from his face, her arms tightened around Sirius' neck as she kept on beat with the boy. Such was the problem with putting two shameless flirts together after they'd each had a bit too much to drink. Any sense of class was tossed out the window. Trish rested her head against Sirius' for a second as they moved, only straightening up again as he took the lead back from her.

When Trish turned around in his arms, Sirius wasn't particularly surprised, but he still had to grin wickedly. He rested his hands flat on her stomach and continued moving with her to the music. While she still had her back to him, on impulse (as Sirius did everything), he leaned down a bit to give her a hickey, just above the high collar of her dress. So what if her skin was green?

He pulled away as Trish turned to face him again, and he returned his hands to her back, just where they were before. "Perhaps I ought to visit," he answered Trish's tease, grinning as she threaded her fingers through his hair. Sirius kept Trish's body flush with his as they danced, not minding that they were both wearing quite a lot of clothing. It was a testament to both of their flirty natures that they could make a dance raunchy when both were very fully clothed. His grin was wicked as usual and he leaned in again, perhaps to make a comment or to try something else, when the pair of them were interrupted.

Ed had been settled at one of the tables, Bertie chatting his ear off about smoking some gillyweed. He was actually in a rather good mood, hell, he'd even let Mia go dance with some sod. The spiked punch proved to be a little weak for Ed's liking so he ended up nicking Bertie's flask, and was on the way to being completely and utterly sloshed. Thankfully, after embarrassing Trish with a few dances, he'd been planted to a chair for the majority of the time, so only his mates seemed to noticed his words were a little slurred. "You've gotta be fucking kidding me." He muttered, as a muscle in his jaw twitched as his eyes found the couple. A few at the table looked up at him but before he could answer their questioning faces he was already up, weaving in and out of the crowd.

As he reached Trish and Sirius he suddenly felt the desire to punch something, more specifically, the sod that stood in front of him. "You've gotta be fucking kidding me." He repeated, still completely horrified and pissed. He did his best to separate the two, pushing Sirius off and being much more gentle with Trish. He positioned himself next to his best mate before looking at Sirius like he was talking to a mental patient. Honestly, this bloke must have had a total of three brain cells. "Okay, time for you to run along, mate. I'm sure there is some desperate bird craving for your attention. Now sod off." Ed's jaw twitched again as he started to comprehend what the situation was. Though, he exhaled out heavily trying to gain some amount of control. Ed had a temper on him and he wasn't going to let it get the better of him. Besides, he'd already made himself look like an arse, and it was starting to grow old. Ed breathed out heavily again, clenching his hand, and as his eyes flickered towards Trish he realised it was too late - once again he'd made an arse of himself.

Sirius had been about to say something to Trish when the pair of them were rather violently separated by Ed Bones, the Head Boy and Trish's best mate. Sirius' wicked grin rather quickly shifted to a frown. It wasn't that he was in love with Trish or anything, but he didn't take particularly kindly to being interrupted, and he'd had a bit to drink, which impaired his decision-making skills (and those were already sub-par at best).

When Ed spoke to him like he wasn't right in the head, Sirius' rather dangerous temper flared a bit, and he shoved Ed by the shoulders, setting his jaw. "What're you playing at? Trish isn't your property, and she can make her own bloody decisions. Sure didn't sound like she was complaining thirty seconds ago before her father came around," he said. It wasn't necessarily that Sirius was looking for a fight, but he wasn't one to take an insult lying down.

What Sirius' lips on her skin had managed to build up, her best mate's sudden appearance stifled almost instantly. Trish couldn't deny she was really enjoying their time together. As far as she was concerned, it was nothing but innocence. She had little intention of returning to his dorm or anything. It was just a bit of fun really. Trish wouldn't have let it get beyond that, simply because she knew that would breach her agreement with Ed. Dancing and flirting, that was one thing. Had she allowed things to progress to the bedroom, well, Ed wouldn't have been able to contain himself. She was sure of that much.

Yet here there were, and Ed had pried the couple apart by force. Trish was mortified. She was torn between feeling embarrassed, furious, and guilty all at once. Surely this wasn't a problem. She wasn't exactly dating Sirius. It was one dance! Sure, there was some more dynamic involved. Maybe he'd kissed her neck. Perhaps she'd played with his hair. It was all innocent. They knew as well as anyone that was as far as it would go, save suggestive comments. "Ed!" Trish interjected after he'd told Sirius to sod off, her hands tugging at his arm in an attempt to shake him out of it. She knew better than to defend her actions at this point with his hand already clenched. One false word, and Sirius' face would be bloodied up. "Please!" she added, trying to step forward between the two. Her one hand was on Sirius' abdomen, the other on Ed's as if that was all it would take. Her eyes caught her best mate's for a brief second before Sirius defended himself.

She felt herself holding her breath as Sirius chimed in. Trish really couldn't blame him. Displays like this one could wind up costing her friendships. At the same time, she could hardly blame Ed either. He had been under a great deal of pressure recently, and the last thing he needed was this. Trish knew she was mostly at fault here, but she could hardly help herself when they were dancing. It had been quite some time since she'd been so open with a man, at least by Trish's standards. It was bound to happen sooner or later, right?

As Sirius reached up to shove Ed, Trish stepped back slightly owing to impulse. She strategically repositioned herself between the boys again, looking frantically back and forth between them as Sirius finished his retort. Glancing back to him, she gave an anxious, almost apologetic smile before turning to face Ed. With both hands on his chest, she tried to coax him further back from Sirius. Though all Sirius had said was true, she wasn't willing to take this to a higher level if she could avoid it. "All right, all right. We've had enough fun for one evening. I'll go," she added, giving Sirius one more forced smile as if to say the two were still on good terms. Then turning back to Ed, she stepped out from between the boys and began to tug his arm to try to get him to start walking. She only hoped Ed was able to overlook the sharp jabs to his pride, knowing well enough what Sirius had said would hit home after that huge mess with Tiberius.

Once Ed caught Trish's eye, he tried to calm down. Her pleads did exactly what they were aimed out to do; he stepped back a bit, realising his behavior was bang out of order. Ed was known for interfering in Trish's love life but this was something entirely new to Ed. Normally, he'd just bag them out to Trish later, and that would be the end of it. But now, he was just confused, pissed off, embarrassed, and even a little hurt. Ed didn't quite understand what was happening, he hadn't had time to think it through before he had approached them. He took another step back, raising his hands as if he was telling the two that he knew he was wrong. Though, that all went to shit when Sirius decided to put in his two cents.

As Sirius shoved him, he was a little taken back, almost on the brink of laughter. He gave Sirius a look that probably would have just escalated the situation. "Really?" He piped in with a smart arse look on his face. He took another step forward, raising an eyebrow, wondering if he was serious. "I mean, really?" he asked again, just to send the message that he honestly found the thing a little entertaining. He returned Sirius' shove with one of his own, knowing this whole thing was a little ridiculous and immature, and by the looks of it Trish thought so too. Well, maybe she was a little more concerned than he was. Ed nodded his head with intended exaggeration as Sirius spat out his comments. He rolled his eyes, yeah, like he hadn't heard that before. "Yeah, you're right, she can make her own decisions. Though, when she's had a little too much to drink, she's accident prone. And I'll be the one she'll be complaining to for the next week when she realises she snogged the pratness that is known as Sirius Black." he paused, before continuing. "And as much as you reckon that everybody adores you, I'd rather not spend my week with the talks of you. Actually, the thought is already giving me a headache." He couldn't help but smile stupidly. Soon, someone was probably going to wipe the grin off of his face, but right now, Ed was finding this amusing.

However, when Trish tried to pull him away, he followed gladly. He kept his eyes on Sirius, his face still quite smug. He looked down Trish, who was looking rather concerned, and that was enough to wipe the smug like smile off of his face. He was a little intoxicated, which was why he was probably finding this funny, and it, like Sirius and Trish, was affecting his judgment calls. Though, when he looked at Trish, he was snapped back into it, realising that this was anything but funny. Trish was pulling his arm rather desperatly, and he slowly started to surrender, knowing that if he stayed any longer he'd do something he would regret.
