"Oh, cool" she said lamely. "You look young to be a Professor..." she shuffled her feet, hating she couldn't think of something grown up to say, or something cool..."I only started here this year..."

Walking up the stairs after hearing that the Yule Ball would be on the roof this time. Looking around once she had gotten up the stairs she found herself eating a cookie. This truly was the yummiest time of year she thought to herself taking another bite of the cookie. Now only if she had someone to talk to that was as cool as the cookie that she was eating. Looking around she saw nobody who was cooler than her cookie so she decided to look for someone who was less cooler. Seeing how it would be lonely if she had nobody to talk to.

"Oh really, do I?" Shawn squeaked, gasping lightly and wondering if he had heard her correctly. He was so used to hearing that he was old from Nicky that it was kind of a shock. A good kind of shock, of course, because who really wants to be told they're old all the time. "So you're a firstie, huh? That's fun! Enjoy it while it lasts." He grinned and nodded his head, wondering if she was as insane as the rest of the first years he'd come across lately.

"I guess. It's not really all that fun..." I can't smooch you!, "It's something to get used to, all the work, and the homework..." gorgeous! , she smiled up at him. I wonder what would happen if i asked him to dance with me... she didn't feel brave enough to do it, he was a Professor after all... she smiled again and hoped he would somehow read her mind and ask her instead.

"Ohh, it is once you're here for a little while. I miss being a student so much," he replied, scrunching up his nose and shrugging his shoulders. "Yea, I guess you do have to get used to it, but classes can be fun tooo. I don't know, maybe I was just a nerd." He giggled lightly, though if he was a nerd he'd probably be a little more intelligent.. and not so oblivious to everything.

Nicky entered the yule ball in some nice slacks and a white button shirt he had stolen from Shawnie, same as last year and the same as it always would be. Nick honestly didn't own one nice shirt that was still in decent condition and appropriate to wear out in public, but Shawn always had a few. Why Shawnie actually owned some nice clothes he wasn't sure, but the fact that he did was enough to make Nicky forget about it and be content. Glancing around he recognized a lot of the faces, but he was still oblivious to most things in life, meaning he still didn't know a few. He waved to a few kids as he made his way over to a crowd of people huddled around some memoir thing. Cocking a brow, he took out a cute marker as soon as he realized it was for ABBA. Awww, now that was just sad. ABBA had liked Nick, right? Well he sure thought so. Signing his name he put a few frownie faces and put that he'd miss him for sure, Hogwarts just wouldn't be the same without him.
Sticking the marker back into his pocket, he turned around, spotting the food table immediately, just as he always did. Wow, he was quite a fatty, wasn't he. Lucky for him his metabolism always kicked in just before he gained 300 pounds from all the fat he consumed. He'd thought of going on a diet countless times, for even if he didn't break the scale, all the sweets he did eat must be doing something to his heart. He'd make a mental note to go see the school nurse about that later. Though just as he made it, something else distracted him from the site of a whole plate of cookies. There, only a dozen feet away, Shawnie stood with some youngin, chatting away and looking like the usual dork he was. He wondered if he should catch his attention or not, knowing Shawn would probably like to see him.. but maybe he was happy dancing with that girl.. who was no more than 13 years old. Whoa, pedophile much? Giggling to himself, he turned back, grabbing the cookie that had spotted his eye, before spinning around and decided he did want Shawn to look his way.
Staring playfully at him for a few moments, he waited till Shawn's eyes met his own and held up the other half of his cookie, motioning towards it before gobbling it down. He held up his finger, informing him to wait, while he reached for another, holding that one up as well before chomping it down. There Shawn was, making awkward conversation with some firstie while he could be over at the food table eating cookies with Nick. Life sucked sometimes, huh? He grinned, grabbing yet another cookie as he leaned up against the table, shooing away anyone who tried to take a cookie. One girl gave him a bitter look, some sort of death glare and he moved away, even if he owned her height by a few inches. Better to be safe than sorry, yes?

"Do you wanna dance?" she blurted out, "With me?" she blushed deeply when she said it, and really didn't hear a thing of what he had just been telling her. It couldn't have been too important...with looks like his...

Shawn glanced around as he waited for the girl, who he just realized hadn't introduced herself yet, and spotted Nicky inhaling the plate of cookies. And staring at him. Figures. He shook his head and stuck his tongue out at him, resisting the urge to run over and tacklehug him because that would be kind of rude while he was in the middle of a conversation. He tore his eyes away from Nicky and the cookies when he heard miss firstie ask him if he wanted to dance. He tilted his head, slightly surprised but he didn't really think he could say no, that would be pretty rude too. "Uhh yea, sure," he said, smiling and nodding his head.

Evan half hoped he would say no, cause being around him made her too anxious and she needed a rest. But she took his hand all the same and lead him to the dance floor. She was brave enough to ask him, she may as well go with it all the way. She put her hands on his hips, cause it was the best she could reach of him without stretching herself out and waited for him to lead.

Nick grinned when his friend spotted him, giving him a playful glare full of disgust before turning back towards the girl. He faintly heard her ask him something then noticed Shawn's hesitation as he followed her out onto the dancefloor. He cocked his brow, wondering if Shawn could even dance. Wow, he felt quite sorry for that girl.. she'd probably end up with some battle scars for dancing with him. He leaned back, taking in the scene while he gobbled down another cookie, chuckling to himself as he watched his future hubby do his best to follow her instructions. Nick would have to recommend dance classes sometime soon. Reaching for another cookie, he glanced back, freezing mid-bite as he got a good look at the girl's face. No, that wasn't just glee.. it was.. infatuation and affection. Oh no she didn't. Wrinkling his nose, he thought he was the only one that could look at his twit like that. What coudl she possibly see in Shawnie anyways?
Grumbling under his breath, he dropped his cookie onto the table, heading straight for them. Stopping after just a few steps, he backtracked, picking his cookie back up before wandering over again. He had finished it just in time to reach them, smiling and setting a hand on Shawn's shoulder as he pecked his cheek, looking down at her and immediately wondering what he was worried about. She was like eleven, could Shawnie have possibly been enjoying this as much as she was? Sighing, he shrugged his shoulders, deciding he honestly couldn't watch any longer.. he had the jealousy of an 8 year old. "Mind if I cut in?" Nick asked, grinning.

Evan saw the peck and withdrew her hands from The cute guy's hips/waist. "oh, yeah sure" she blushed as realization dawned on her..."Thanks for the dance" she smiled and walked back to the food table. She felt a bit embarrassed for making all that effort and he turns out to be gay...She reached her hand into the cookie jar, and her fingers met the walls...she looked inside and saw crumbs...what happened to all the cookies??

Shawn allowed himself to be dragged off to the dance floor, trying to remember what Lee had taught him like a million years ago. He recalled some things, but then she put her hands on his hips and everything was all mixed up and ohmygod his tiny brain was going to explode. He stood there for a minute, and then quickly put his hands on her shoulders before she thought he'd gone catatonic or something. Scrunching up his nose, he moved awkwardly from side to side and tried not to step on her, which was probably inevitable.
Andd then Nicky showed up, and he spotted some cookie crumbs on his shirt. He couldn't have been considerate and brought him a cookie too, huh? He was going to respond but it seemed that the girl had already did that for him, so he smiled lightly at her as she wandered away and rolled his eyes lightly at Nicky. "I guess I have no choice now," he said, giggling and hugging him tightly.

Still at the cookie jar she noticed people coming and going then she saw someone around her age come over "Hello!"Sierra said hoping to grab (Evan's) her attention. "I am Sierra Dann." Sierra thought that it a good start to tell her Sierra's name. Planning to grab another cookie she noticed none was left. Oh Noz!

"Hi!" Said Evan, turning around startled. This girl Sierra was standing so close she was scared she might have overheared her attempt at getting it on with the gay - Professor. "It's nice to meet you. I'm Evan. Did you - er - just get here?"

Kath couldn’t believe that it was nearly Christmas already. It seemed to take ages to come around but once it got to Christmas the year had actually gone quite quickly. Before she got dressed Kath got all the animals inside and locked the patio doors. Jogging up the stairs Kath put on her dress which was cream coloured and made from silk. It wasn't something she would normally wear but it made a change from the usual dark or colorful dresses she wore to the previous yule balls. Kath’s hair was in its usual style of slight waves. Slipping on a silver bracelet Kath put on her shoes and left the house. As she walked to the castle she shoes clicked on the tarmac. It was quite an annoying sound even if Kath was used to it. After a short walk Kath stepped foot in the school grounds and made her way towards the front doors of the school. Walking through the entrance hall Kath reached the stairs and began to climb the many flights up to the rooftop lounge.
The different locations for the Yule ball were quite a good idea and Kath could think of nowhere better than the rooftop lounge. Sure it was a little smaller than some of the other places but it was still big enough to hold all the people that gathered for the ball. Reaching the top of the stairs Kath continued to walk until she reached the door for the roof top lounge. Pushing the door open she expected to see a lot more people but it was only early. The room looked huge, Kath had totally forgot that magic could be used to make the room expand. Noticing that Luke wasn’t here yet Kath took the time to pay her respects the presumed dead Abba. Walking up to the memorial picture and throne Kath bowed her head for a moment and then read the instructions. Picking up one of the purple markers in her left hand Kath began to write a small note to Abba. A little unsure on what to write Kath pondered for a moment before writing...
‘Abba, thank you for everything you did. Remember to have the biggest party wherever you are and enjoy it to the max. Lots of love, Kath’
Kath had never been fantastic at writing heart-felt notes but her words meant something and she felt privileged sticking it up on the wall. After she had finished writing her note Kath read some of the words that the others had wrote. So much better than hers but it wasn’t a competition after all. After reading each of the notes Kath bowed her head again briefly and made her way over to the refreshments table where she poured herself a cup of punch. The punch was usually spiked but this year the punch had remained unspiked. There would be no or few merry kids running around occasionally making fools of themselves. Kath quietly stood at the refreshments table drinking her punch and listening to the music as she waited for Luke to arrive.
