((Started five days late... sorry, everyone! You can reply to this thread if you want, or you can just go on and make a new one. Remember: No date to the ball is required.)) It was a Wednesday afternoon and Professor Michael Dubois had finished his 2 o' clock History of Magic class only an hour ago. On any other Wednesday he would have been in his room, either reading up on the latest Wizarding news or planning the next day's lesson. Today, however, he was stuck at the entrance to the Great Hall, getting ready to monitor the entrance of students into the Valentine's Day Ball. Michael wasn't overly keyed up about it. It wasn't that he didn't like Valentine's Day, even though he did think it was an unnecessary holiday. The expression of love should not be limited to a single day out of the year. Still, many people seemed to make the most of the day, so he didn't complain. But truth be told, he was very anxious. The last ball held at Hogwarts was the Novus, and it had resulted in a professor being fired from the staff. Dubois wondered what today would bring. The professor opened the doors to the Great Hall and took in the sight. The large room was covered from end to end with every shade of red known to man. Small, four-person tables were scattered about the room in a fashion similar to the New Year's ball; some had white table cloths while others had red. The lights were dimmer than usual and the floor was covered in a thin layer of what Michael found to be, upon closer inspection, small heart-shaped pieces of confetti. He waited just outside the room for the students and professors to arrive.

Hailey, followed by Emily and Aika, walked up to Michael, barly looking..pregnant. Ooc; -coughcough- Bic; "Hey, Michael!How're you today?How ya been?Classes going okay?Emily and Aika haven't been giving you a hard time, have they?"
~*~ "Heyy, Michaeeeel!" Chirped the two as if they had recited it. "HEY!We only give a few teachers a hard time, thank you." Emily glared, half-heartedly at their older friend, actually glad that news of Hailey's pregnancy hadn't spread.

It had been quite a few years since Caity had attended her last Hogwarts ball. She unfortunantly had been unable to attend the Novus since she had just arrived at Hogwarts. She had been there to witness the aftermath though. She had missed the days of dressing up and dancing so much that it almost hurt at time. So tonight Caity had come ready to party.
Shaking these thoughts from her head, Caity quietly turned the corner and quickly came upon the Great Hall. Tonight she wore a long. body hugging red ball gown that shimmered slightly in the light and had a long slit that showed off her right leg slightly. Her long brunette hair was pinned atop her head so that errand tedrils fell down along her neck, along with pinned in red ribbons. She knew most professors wouldn't even consider wearing somthing like this, but it did not bother the Ancient Magicks professor.
Spotting another professor near the entrence, Caity approached Micheal with a large smile across her face. "Good evening!" She then noticed the students and flashed a big smile at them also. "Hello, kids."

Ellendie dressed in a red halter dress. It was full length and had sparkles scattered around, but it didn't have too much sparkle, it was just right. Her blonde curly hair was down except for her right side which she had some of it pinned up in a rose. Her makeup was a gentle silver eye shadow and a soft blush. She was beautiful, even down to her silver sandel shoes that had a little heal.
She walked up to the dance entrance and saw all the couples. It wasn't required was it? She looked around for a sign and failed to see one. She sighed and stepped back, this was fair, she bought the dress dang it!
For a slight second she wanted to cry at her mistake, but then took in a deep breath. Maybe they would let her in even though she didn't have a date. Why didn't she have a date anyway? Who that was because she didn't bother asking anyone. She took a few steps up to ther person letting peole "Excuse me. Ees eet possible to get een without a date?" her voice was small and as she tried to get his attention.

When Ike Barinholtz approached the group of people at the entrance to the Great Hall, he was still very upset that he had been forced to attend by himself. Bobby had flat-out refused to go, claiming that he didn't have a date and was 'sick with a deadly cold' anyway.
Then, he spotted Ellendie.
She looked absolutely gorgeous. Absolutely mind-shatteringly beautifully gorgeous.
"Ellendie," he said, walking up to her from the side. "You look... wow." __
Michael looked toward Hailey, Emily and Aika as they approached.
"Good afternoon, Hailey. I can't think of anything bad to say about Emily and Aika. I'm sure I can come up with something if I put my mind to it, though. I'll make you a list tonight." He winked at Emily and Aika playfully. Aside from the little incident with Dane and Auggie during his first class, he had had a fairly easy time teaching.

"See?What'd I tell you, Haileyy?" Emily stuck her tounge out, mimicking a five year old. "No cookies for you, Emily!" Aika smirked at Emily's horror-struck face.
"I'm surronded by idiots.." Hailey winced as the two started talking in some language she didn't understand at all.

Ace sat outside the Great Hall, tapping his feet to the music he could hear playing in there, he quickly glanced down at his watch.
Where is she?
He thought to himself as he started to pace in his white suit, yes white, not that Ace was pure but hey it looked cool enough and with the black shirt and red tie, he looked hawt.
"Where is she?"
He thought out aloud to himself

Ellendie watched the man as he turnd to her to answer her question. Then she heard a familiar voice and smiled hearing it come close. You look... wow. Her smile turned into a grin noticing Ike looking at her with amazements "Ees zat a good wow? Or a bad wow?" She pressed her hands against her dress and swayed it lightly. At that moment she looked like a little girl happy to be in a big fansty dress. Her grey eyes turned as another couple walked in and then she frowned and got close to Ike and whispered "Do you 'ave a date? Because I don't and I tink zat you can geet een with out one." She looked at him and smiled slightly "And I was wondering eef you didn't we could be eachothers dates." Her heart lept at the thought of being Ike's date. For some reason, for the time they have known eachother she has ended up liking him a bit more then friends. But she would never push a thing like that on to him, she would stay friends in fear he did not like her that way. She also, did not want to lose his friendship. ---- Amanda made her way to Ace smiling in her new dress. It was a dark royal blue that showed off her beautiful red strawberry blonde hair. The dress came up around her neck and curved out her body. The skirt part was short in the front and long in the back, it looked fun to watch it twirl. Her legs were long and slender, making any man stop and stair at her. On her feet were high heeled sandal pumps with some fake stones to make it sparkle. Her hair was down as usual and looked just as nice. She wasn't the type to be real girly like some others, like Elle, she just liked to look hot. She wore soft makeup colors that made her face look radiant. She kissed Ace softly on the lips and leaned into him "Hello. Sorry I am late, it took me a bit longer to get in the dress then I thought." She smiled and peeked in the hall "It looks nice." she then turned to him and looked him up and down "You look handsome."

Somewhat amused by Emily and Aika's antics, yet noting that his fellow professor was not quite so impressed, he turned back to Hailey, then to Caity.
"How are classes going for you two?"
___
You could have hit Ike square in the face with a piece of plywood and he wouldn't have noticed. He was too busy staring stupidly at Ellendie's appearance. In fact, it took a little more than five seconds for her proposal to be his date to sink in.
Barinholtz had always, always been the first to make an advance on a pretty girl, and this positively stunning one was offering to be his date. He had wanted this for a long time, really, but he had always been too cowardly to bring up anything more than friendship with Ellendie.
Every part of Ike wanted to scream out 'Of course I'll be your date!' or some other comment that was witty, suave, and impressive to a female.... every part of him except his mouth.
"I..uh...date..." He trailed off pathetically, then started again. When did he get so nervous around Ellendie? She was a friend. He had nothing to be scared of. This thought relaxed him a bit. "Be... your date? You didn't have to ask, Elle."
He smiled down at her and landed a somewhat ungraceful kiss on her cheek. It was a start.
Suddenly, he was very glad Bobby had decided not to come.

"Kinda okay.." Stated Hailey, looking uncomfortble.
"Yeah.If you can get past the fact that Hailey is--MMMPH!" Aika struggled as Emily clamped her hand over her mouth. "Ehehe...Hehe.."

"They are..." Caity paused, her eyebrows raising for a quick moment, before continuing, "they are... interesting. To say the least." That was an understatement, but Micheal did not need to know that at the moment.
No one really did...
Elphaba slowly rounded the corner toward the Great Hall, her stomach knotted tightly and her hands fidgeting constantly. She was wearing a long shimmering black dress(probably the only black dress at the Valentines Day ball) that cascaded all the way to the floor with long black sleeved and a deep V-cut neckline. She was not looking forward to this dance at all, but her father had written and forced her to go. To keep up appearances, he had said.
But to hell with appearances! Elphaba thought angerly as she tucked her dark raven strands of hair behind her emerald green ears. No matter how much she tried to fit in, it was obvious Elphaba was born to stand out. With both her attitude AND her skin color.
Reaching the Great Hall entrence, the green witch(who had conveniently forgotten her trademark hat tonight) stopped suddenly. Should she really go in? Who in their right mind would want her there?

Ace smiled as he watched Amanda's eyes go slowly down and then back up his body. He let out a slight laugh when she called him handsome.
"Well you know, gotta try and keep up with you...and you look delicious, maybe we should skip the ball and go straight onto the after ball activities"
He said with a playful wink, only joking around of course because he wanted to show her off, to Hawkeye and Trapper mostly but hey whatever.
"I could eat you right up, but then i'd be called a cannibal and thats bad, so i'll just say you look gorgeous and like the princess you are.....well at least the princess you are when we have company, if you know what I mean"
He let out another laugh, yes he treated her like a princess but that was because she showed him her over side....her wild side and he loved it.
"Shall we?"

For the first time Elle was actually nervous about Ike saying no to her. He faultered around with his words at the begining, and she at first thought it was because he had a date. Her heart seemed to sink real low and her chest grew heavy. But thenhe started over again Be... your date? You didn't have to ask, Elle.. Her chest lightened and she grinned feeling a lot better then she had five seconds ago.
"Oh good!" she then watched him bend down and felt him press a kiss on her cheek. It was a bit hard and he pushed at her head gently, but she still loved it. Her cheeks turned to a slight pink and she glanced down with a small smile "Now what was zat for?"
She glanced up at him and smiled, her cheeks still slightly flushed. The only thing she could pray for was that he didn't notice, but how couldn't he? She wrapped her arm under his and walked forward, close to him. It felt too good to be close to him like that.
"Shall we?" she said walking into the ballroom.
------
Amanda laughed at him and made her way in front of him, she held onto the opening of his jacket and brought him in close "Hey babe, I never said you couldn't eat me." She kissed his lips and then winked at him. And then she shook her head "I am nothing like a Princess..." she then nodded her head to Ellendie "That one is more like a Princess then I have ever been."
She kissed him again and smiled "But I can be your Princess." She loved playing around with him. It was too enjoyable. She grinned and slid her fingers in her head "Let's make this dance a little interesting, hm?"
Oh she had planned for this night. She was excited to see who spiked the punch, and if no one did, she can always sneak in some scotch on her own. She smiled at the thought. She was always excited to see who was crying in the bathroom, who got dumped, who screwed up. That was some fun shit.

"You ARE my princess, and I won't let anyone else tell me otherwise....even if between the sheets your a devil"
He said kissing her softly on the lips and his hands wandering down to her arse before stopping. A smirk falling on his lips as he did so, he loved to tease her.
"Oh and what did you have in mind m'lady"

Michael's eyebrows furrowed in concern. He looked back and forth between Hailey and the two students, noting the conflicting expressions on each of their faces. Emily and Aika looked shaken. It was as if they had almost slipped and told the world something that his colleage was not thrilled about in the least.
This couldn't be good. This couldn't be good at all.
He didn't want to have Hailey admit anything she didn't want to, but what if something was terribly wrong? He immediately assumed the worst.
"What? Is something wrong, Hailey?" ___
"We shall." Ike tried his best to sound formal, but failed miserably. He wasn't a formal person, nor was he classy. He was totally undeserving of Ellendie.
But while he remained externally calm and mostly collected, he was internally jumping up and down with excitement. He had managed to get a girl that was more beautiful than anyone he had ever dated, and the attraction was totally mutual.
Ike couldn't believe it.
He shifted closer to Ellendie as they entered the Great Hall.
