Ch8 And so it began
Necia sat in her Common room, looking at her robes, which were a dark purple color, which would have matched the purple streaks she used to have in her hair, but she had done away with those over the summer. She sat there, debating on whether to go to the ball or not. She had no date, so what was the point? Then she realized, I gotta go so I can show Christoph what he's missing. Necia stood up and slipped them on, carefully, because they were made of fine silk.
Necia looked in the mirror, frowning. Her hair was much to short, she did a quick lengthening charm that made her hair like Helena's and left the common room, running into Corin on the way.
Corin, never one to over do things, was wearing a light, almost white, blue robes. They matched her eyes perfectly. She almost looked veela. Necia noted in her mind.
"Rather dramatic robe's you've got there, Necia." Corin said, never one to fancy drama.
"Yep, picked them out myself." Necia smiled
Corin sighed, "You never under do anything, do you?"
"Of course not, that's not my style." Necia smirked and the two walked down to the great hall.

Matt sat at a table, next to Julia, waiting for the night to end. Alex was sitting across from them, Odette whispering in his ear every so often, and Adam grinning furiously. Matt rolled his eyes and looked at Julia. She was pretty, but nothing special. Everyone was having a perfect time besides him. Julia looked rather bored just sitting there, so Matt figured he should ask her to dance.
"Umm..would you like to dance?" Matt asked hopefully
"Yeah sure." Julia said boredly
They got up and went onto the dance floor and started dancing to a slow song the Weird Sisters were playing and danced around the floor with Julia.

Clarissa sat at a table with Philip, who was showering her with complements. Clarissa smiled every once and a while to show that she was mildly interested, and messed with the sleeve of her robe. "Well this is a jolly good time." Clarissa thought, almost saying it out loud.
"Er, I need to go to the washroom; I'll be right back Philip." Clarissa stood up and went to the Girl's bathroom where Moaning Myrtle resided. She looked at herself in the mirror and noticed nothing different. Her hair was still straight and long; eyes still corn silk blue, what was a matter with her?
"Oh right. I'm here with the wrong person." Clarissa thought a loud and went searching for Xander.

Helena walked down the stairs from her dormitory and saw Brody there, waiting for her. He smiled, and she smiled back.
"You look great, Helena." Brody said and blushed
"Thanks, you look good too." Helena grinned as they walked out of the Common room, going up from the dungeon.
"So, enjoying the Triwizard Tournament?" Brody questioned as they reached the corridor heading to the great hall, it was adorned with holly.
"Yeah, I am. Very interesting actually." Helena said
"Is that so, what do you find so interesting, Miss. Comiastra?" Brody questioned and laughed
"Well, the first task was quite a match, wasn't it?" Helena asked and smiled
"Yeah, I was sure that Diggory wasn't gonna make it with his dog trick." Brody grinned
"Well, he did, didn't he? Rather tough scores to beat though, I must say." Helena pointed out
"Yeah, they were." Brody smiled as they reached the great hall, which was booming with music from the Weird Sisters. It had about four large Christmas trees, all a different house theme, they were quite pretty. Hogwart's had really out did itself this time.
"Shall we dance?" Brody grinned
"Sure," Helena laughed as Brody steered her across the floor.

Corin grinned as she saw Christoph, he looked really nice in his cobalt blue robes, as she did in hers. They were the perfect couple, she pointed out to herself. Both wealthy, blonde, and blue eyed. They would have beautiful children. Then Corin mentally slapped herself, smiling as she sat down next to Necia, who was sitting alone at a table. As Christoph went to go get drinks, Corin sighed.
"He's perfect." Corin smiled dazedly
"Yes, that he is." Necia said in a monotone voice.
"Are you going home for the Holidays Necia??" Corin questioned
"Do I ever go home for the holidays?" Necia pointed out.
"Good point." Corin noted "Well, Mum and Dad have already sent me my gifts, so I figured I'd just stay. If I went they'd just give me another lecture on who to marry...like last Christmas."
Necia laughed "You're only sixteen! They're already lecturing you on marriage?"
"Actually, I'm fifteen." Corin pointed out "And, we're Danvers, we have to marry into strong, pureblood families to keep our name strong."
"Oh god." Necia sighed as Christoph came back with Pumpkin juice.
"Thanks Christoph.." Corin grinned as she sipped her Pumpkin juice.
"No problem." Christoph grinned
Christoph was raised in England, but his parents insisted apon him going to Durmstrang, it was Christoph's life-long dream to become an Auror, and Durmstrang had the best Dark Arts program in Europe. Corin remembered him saying that he enjoyed it, and loved the weather immensely, he had said that in a sarcastic tone of course. Christoph favored the Defense against the Dark Arts class at Hogwarts the most, and Transfiguration the least, probably because of the fact that he was stuck with the fifth years. Corin loved his little curls; she had dubbed them the angel curls in her mind. Corin grinned as Christoph took her hand to go dance, and they both laughed merrily as they waltzed around the ball room.
