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!

After the performance at Narcissa's birthday party the previous night, Inigo was rather glad to see that the ball had finally arrived. Sure, she hadn't originally planned on attending but after a few pleas from her friends and an opportunity too good to pass up she'd dragged herself there. After being not certain for so long it was inevitable that Inigo was left without a costume. Though, Inigo was okay with it, she wasn't out to make herself look like a fool. She had chosen out one of her black dresses and if anybody was going to question why she wasn't in a costume, she had retorts ready to fire.

Inigo had made her way down to the Great Hall rather early, quite eager to see her plan unfold. Gladys in an owl costume? Gladys believing Gilderoy would be in an owl costume? Gladys believing Gilderoy was her date? Inigo's excitement was already flourishing as she gawked at her students and their costume selections. She was positioned in the corner, the stairs in full view hoping Gladys would make her entrance shortly. After waiting impatiently Inigo considered just heading into the Great Hall. She was one for her plans but she had a rather short attention span and her gawking was getting rather old very fast.

If Inigo was being honest with herself, she would have to admit she was rather upset. Her parents were sending the usual howlers, that didn't bother herself so much because she was so accustomed to them. She found herself in a slump and she knew there was no way out. Inigo was one for disliking herself, and tonight proved to be no different. Sure, she knew that her plan would cause her ridiculous self sanctification but she was beginning to doubt herself. It would cause Gladys to feel absolutely terrible about herself and honestly Inigo was rather jealous of the Hufflepuff. She didn't have her parents constantly reminding her that she was a disappointment, she didn't have pressures about eventually finding a nice Pure Blooded boy to marry, Gladys had everything that Inigo craved. Gladys had acceptance, Inigo didn't.

After making pleasantries with his sister, Duncan was making his way from the entrance hall when he noticed Inigo. While there was no doubting she was attractive, Duncan didn't like being forced into anything. And that's exactly what his parents were trying to do. He knew his mom all too well - she slowly began asking after her. And the fact that his dad even knew Inigo's name was proof they were trying to arrange something. Maybe he could strike a balance by being nice and giving his parents something to awe over.

"Inigo," he said softly as he approached. "You look lovely."

As Duncan interrupted her thoughts, her head jerked up as she heard the boy speak. She smiled genuinely at him, which was a rare instance when Inigo was concerned before she nodded her head, greeting him. Inigo had considered Duncan a friend ever since first year, and he was one of the few she was comfortable around, well, until her parents had started putting some thoughts into her head. They had begun hinting at matching her up with him, hell, she was even sure her parents had spoken to the Yaxleys. Before these thoughts could throw her off, she pushed them immediately to the back of her mind as her smile grew a little wider.

"Evening, Duncan." She said rather cheerfully, despite her mood. "Thank you," she said softly, hoping she didn't blush. "And you look quite dashing." She motioned to the huge doors, slightly tilting her head towards them. "You meeting anybody?" She asked Duncan before her eyes flickered towards the stairs again. Shortly, she was just going to give up and head back to the common room.

Duncan grinned at her compliment. He was actually quite good at taking them, unlike most people. It didn't embarrass him at all. "Thank you," he said earnestly. See? This didn't have to be awkward. He could spend a bit of time with Inigo at the dance and escape a strongly worded owl. His parents didn't send Howlers. Let anyone in on the Yaxley family business? Yeah, right. They'd sooner take out an ad in the prophet than yell at their son in front of strangers.

At her next question he shook his head. "I'm ah-" he hesitated. "Not really into this sort of thing. I was planning on making an appearance. Unless, that is, I find a good reason to stay." He wasn't actually suggesting that she could be the reason, but he was sure it sounded that way. And that was perfectly fine. Girls liked a bit of flattery, didn't they? "And you?" he asked.
