Who: Adrian & Astoria
What: August Ball! A date :0
When: Backdate to Sat evening.
Where: A muggle ballroom in London

7 pm sharp. Adrian made sure he was no earlier, no later. Having meticulously planned out the event ever since he asked her out, Adrian wanted everything to be perfect. He wanted it to be completely the opposite of what happened with Kaira in the Morgue. He tried hard to block that night out of his mind.

Adrian arrived on her door step in full tuxedo and bouquet of roses in hand. No dresses. No chocolate. He learned from his last "date" that those were bad ideas.

After some moments of hesitation, he knocked on her door. Okay, no more being the awkward Morgue guy. He was going to have fun tonight, and show Astoria a good time as well. He nervously adjusted his bow tie one last time before she answered.

Astoria was sort of new to the whole dating thing. She hadn't had a lot of time in her life--nor the inclination, really--to go out on a lot of dates. Sure, she was gorgeous, and she knew it, but there was more to dating than finding blokes to drool over her. She wanted to find someone she could talk to, have fun with, and not feel awkward around afterward.

She'd been ready for an hour or so, and was sitting on the sofa, flipping through her journal when the knock came at the door. She stood, set her journal on the table, and moved to answer the door.

A little smile crossed her features when she saw him there in his tuxedo. She wore an elegant purple gown with a simple diamond necklace on a chain. They were quite the pair.

"Good evening."

"Hi," Adrian said simply. She was gorgeous. No need for him to offer any improvements on her looks. "You look stunning," his normally expressionless face became a grin.

He took some time to ogle at her before he realized that they had somewhere to go.

"Ready?" He asked, a metal slinky in hand. It was a portkey. He saw the thing in a Muggle gift store and thought it was too amusing to pass up.

	"Yeah. It's called a skanky," Adrian didn't realize he mixed up the name of the thing with something entirely different. "Pretty odd name." He let himself be ushered into the flat. No sooner than that did it start to glow. He hardly had anytime to admire Astoria's place before the portkey was ready. "I think it's ready now," he noted to her. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Astoria gave a little nod. She thought it was a rather strange name, but muggles were very strange indeed. She brought a finger around to touch it when it started to glow, then looked up at him with a nod. "Ready." She said, softly, waiting for him to touch the portkey so they could be transported.

	Adrian groaned, rolling his eyes. "Yeah. Just one though. Even though he's a git most of the time, he can be a pretty good dancer. You think he taught me well?" Adrian thought he was doing well. He hadn't stomped on her feet and she hadn't told him to get off of her yet. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I think he did a good job." Astoria replied, giving him a grin. "You're a true gentleman." She took the lead for just a moment to spin her self out, and twirl back in. It was so very much fun. She hoped she didn't offend him, though, by taking charge for a moment there. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
