He had a date, he Louis Weasley, one of the quietest Weasley's had a date. He could have jumped up and down in excitement yet someone might have thought he was cursed. Louis didn’t do the whole jump up and down thing, in fact he tended to fly under the radar of many people and avoid others. But not tonight. Tonight was a completely different story, one where he wouldn’t mind being seen, especially with his date. He couldn’t even wait for the snow to melt so that he could spend more time with her learning how muggles played sports, or to take her flying. If anyone heard his thoughts, one would think he had already fallen for the girl. And in a way he had. With just that one conversation they had, he could not stop thinking of her, thinking of the fun that laid ahead of them and of course of this very night. Who knows what would come of it and well if all she saw was a friend in him, then so be it, he would be her friend. He would rather have her in his life as a friend then not at all. The tie provided the most difficult for him, he had not worn one before yet his father and uncles said it was easy to put on. Wrap it around here, pull it there, ugh why were ties so complicated. If he did not have magic he would have most likely discarded the thing long ago. Sighing he pulled his wand out and tapped it against the yellow silk, watching as it knotted itself properly. Oh so that was how it was done, he thought. That looked completely simple, yet he still hadn’t gotten the hang of it. Oh well, it was tied he thought. He shoved his wand back in his pocket and turned to leave. He didn’t bother about a suit jacket, figuring he would most likely end up taking it off not even halfway through the night. The Hufflepuff headed into the common room, where he sat down in the nearest available seat. It seemed like every other male Hufflepuff who had asked another Hufflepuff had the same idea, to wait for their dates in the common room. And just like the rest of them, he couldn’t help peer towards the girl's dorms whenever the clicking of heels were heard. A few guys had left taking their dates whilst the others chatting among themselves, he however could feel the nerves begin in his stomach. OUTFIT

hannah was nervous...really nervous. she didn't want to make a fool of herself, didn't want to make herself look stupid or annoy louis - her date. it felt good to even think those words ..her date. she'd never had a date to a dance before and amongst the anxiety there was definetly excitement. she'd liked him since their conversation in the kitchen when they'd first officially met and ever since she hadn't been able to get him out of her head. oh she didn't think he liked her in that sense but..maybe there was a chance. she knew it was fast, but hannah was one of those girls that always fell hard and fast for guys, and she already admitted to herself that she liked the blonde haired weasley.

she'd spent hours trying to decide what to wear, going with a nice simple white dress that fell to just above her knees - she didn't think of going for a long dress, knowing her she'd trip up over the hem and she didn't know quite how formal this ball was. the dress was simple but she liked it, she just hoped louis did too. she slipped on some simple silver ear-rings, ran a coat of clear nail vanish over her nails and applied a little make-up; just some mascara and a slightly darker than normal shape of lip stick. she moved her long hair aside - which she'd left natural, slightly curly - to put her her necklace, one of the only things she'd been left from her mother, and she added some bracelets to her left arm. if they annoyed her she'd get rid of them later but for now they seemed to look okay.

then she gave herself a once over, having to stop herself biting a lip lest she chew off her lip stick already. she felt the nerves bubbling but she made herself slip into her heeled white shoes and take a deep breath. louis was a nice guy - a really nice guy - and she didn't look completely out of place as she saw what the other girls were wearing. some had gone really over the top or for bright colours but hannah wasn't that sort of girl..she didn't go pink and frilly, or vibrant, or..in a couple of girls cases...showing more flesh than dress but..she went for simple and hoped it was enough.

she took another deep breath, nervously smoothed her hands over her dress and exited the girls dorm rooms, watching the steps as she descended to ensure she didn't miss one and trip in her heels - they weren't very high but they definetly gave her an extra inch on her small height..she just didn't wear them very often that was all. meeting the ground floor she glanced up, her eyes nervously scanning the field of guys facing, trying to hide a blush as people turned to glance at her - she wasn't used to being looked at, normally she stayed out of peoples way and they ignored her. then she saw louis and pushed her thoughts away, moving straight toward him and unable to help grinning, her heart pounding a little harder, even squeezing slightly as she saw how handsome he looked. "hey.." she said, trying to hide her nervousness as she saw him, wanting to say that she thought he looked good but not able to find the courage yet.

More and more girls appeared, finding their dates or leaving the common room on their own. With each clicking of their heels, Lou's nerves grew. Maybe he should have gone for dress robes instead, but he wanted to make it look like he was trying with the muggle clothing. Besides they weren’t all that different right. The guy beside him stood up and moved, heading towards his date. Louis watched how they interacted. Smiling with giggling and laughter before the guy offered his arm to her and then they were gone from the common room. He couldn’t do this, he thought, he was so used to people overlooking him. He bit his lips, forcing himself not to get up and run back to the safety of the boys dorms. The clicking of more heels indicated another girl was approaching the common room. He looked up and there she was. Oh Merlin she was absolutely stunning. Standing up, he prayed he didn’t stumble or make a complete idiot of himself. He gulped as she approached. That one word brought him back to reality. He was really going to the Yule Ball with her, he needed to man up. "Hey," he replied, letting his eyes sweep over her once. "And here i thought you looked beautiful with just your pyjamas, but...wow," he replied a moment later wanting to cringe at his words. He was already making an idiot of himself and he hadn’t even left the comfort of the common room. Good one Lou, he scolded himself, hoping she didn’t take offense to his word. Oh Merlin he hoped not. He didn’t want to be the reason why their night didn’t turn out to be good, nor did he want to be the reason why she turned around and headed back to her dorms and not show up for the night. Could he blame those words on his nerves, hell yes, he thought. "i mean you look gorgeous," he added, hoping to save his own butt. Maybe he should just shut up, stop talking, at least his mouth wouldn’t be able to get him into trouble. Why oh why couldn’t he had been like the couple he had observed before. So calm yet carefree. Laughing and complimenting the girl like it was second nature, why'd he end up having to be nervous and in turn sounding awkward? Even only after 1 conversation, which had been held late at night, he couldn’t deny that he liked Hannah, he just hoped his mouth hadn’t spoilt things too much.

she hadn't realised she was a little on the late side as she came out of the room - not really late late considering there wasn't a set time for everyone to be there by but quite a few people had already gone. she hadn't meant to do that, she hadn't meant to make louis wait - what might he have been thinking?! that she wasn't going to show maybe? she hoped he wouldn't think that of her. she would never stand someone up, and she was certainly never ever stand louis up. he was practically her first male friend ever and besides she liked him more than that and she didn't want to drive him away. she noticed the other guys and girls partnering off rather rapidly as she descended into the common room, her eyes glazing over all those others boys. she'd looked her and there over the years, and she'd crushed, but nothing ever came of it. she was always too nervous to say and besides, who wanted a quiet, unpopular little muggle-born anyway?

it was why she was so delightfully happy that louis had asked her to the dance. nobody had asked her before, and she'd always dreamt that a handsome guy would ask her, would smile at her like he had smiled at her, and not turn his nose up at who she was. with louis as her date tonight - sweet, charming, adorable louis - she didn't think anything could go wrong, and even her nerves dispelled a little at the thought. then she spotted him and headed straight over to him, focusing on walking right and not stumbling as she watched him stand up as he noticed her heading his way. she noticed how he looked at her and she narrowly avoiding biting her lip, running her hands nervously over the dress with a sudden stab of anxiety - was she under dressed? should she have worn a full length? was it the wrong colour? did she look too awful? had he changed his mind? did she look stupid? did he know that he could do better? the thought swept through her mind as he looked over her, unable to help herself.

she didn't let her thoughts show as she gave him a small, slightly nervous smile and spoke a greeting. "Hey," and she noticed how his eyes ran over her again, and still she was unsure. she had no experience in being around guys was it a good thing he kept looking at her or a bad thing? "And here i thought you looked beautiful with just your pyjamas, but...wow," she blushed a deep rose at his words, mostly down to the compliment behind his words but also the knowledge - the rememberence - that he'd seen her in her night clothes. something she hadn't expected or planned for. she hadn't taken offence or anything, he'd said 'wow' and that had been what had made her blush really. she'd never had someone be so nice to her before, especially not a guy like louis. "i mean you look gorgeous," she grinned gently, already smitten with the way he'd blurted the words before and now trying to ensure he hadn't offended her. she blushed again nonetheless with his compliment. gorgeous? really? her? gorgeous!? she wanted to duck her head and say 'hardly' with all the stunners around them but she didn't allow herself.

"thank you," she said gently, sincerely, looking up at him and grinning softly, unable to help the grinning and thinking that by the end of the night her cheeks might just be burning. "you look handsome," she managed to say the words she'd wanted to since she'd first seen him - blushing furiously for saying them but still smiling and hoping he didn't find them ... too forward or something of the sort. she heard a clock striking somewhere and she blinked in confusion, realising that she'd been focused so completely on louis she'd forgotten where they were, and she averted her eyes to avoid staring at him and perhaps freaking him out of something, glancing about them to realise most of the others had left and she looked at louis with a soft smile, unable to hide that already blossoming affection for him from her gaze. she was like an open book for frick sake! "so uhm, should we go?" she asked, having no clue really how a dance worked seeing as she'd never been before but she hoped louis did.


( ooc , n'awe bless 'em xD )

He expected her to laugh at him, to call him an idiot for blabbing like one. But no, instead he got a thank you. A thank you for complimenting her. Well at least it wasnt a slap in the face or a laugh or anything bad. He was grateful. And then she had managed to turn to around on him, telling him that he was handsome. Him really, no she must have been looking elsewhere. He glanced around, there was more handsome guys here than him, perhaps it was the damn veela charm trying to work on her. He cursed silently at himself and the veela part of him. Why couldnt it just be the females that had the 'curse'. Still Louis couldnt help the flushing of his cheeks, matching her own blush. They were a right pair, he thought, blushing at one another. Some probably would have gone as far as calling it cute. "So uhm, should we go?" What she wanted to go out there, in front of the whole school, was she crazy? Ok no, he was the crazy one, he had asked her, thinking that the school wouldnt notice them but never expected it to be so nerve wracking. Would she mind if he suggested that they stayed in the common room and play wizarding chess or something. No that wouldnt simply not do, she had dressed up for the ball and damn it he would take her even if he ended up making a fool of himself. "Sure," he nodded, hoping that he didnt show exactly how nervous he was as he offered her his arm. That was how things were meant to go right, he offer his arm and they walk arm in arm together to the ball, then what, he thought. Perhaps they should just get to the ball and play it by ear from there. ((sorry its short))

she smiled after his compliment, still a faint blush upon her cheeks, mostly from turning the compliment onto him too. she saw him glance about and raised an eyebrow slightly in surprise, wondering what he was doing. "you don't think it's true?" she asked quietly, curious and yet with a small almost sad smile upon her face. she had no idea that he was part veela, she did not feel that some special force attracted her to him, but rather he himself. she liked him for his personality but it was a bonus that he was darned cute. she was surprised he didn't think he was handsome, she was only speaking the truth. sure, there were guys around here or there one might consider to be hot or whatever but hannah didn't like guys like that, they were so arrogant and their smirk's spoiled their 'good looks'. louis was so much better than those guys, she wished he could see that. "it is.." she said even softer, a little nervous about being quite so bold as she was but she wanted him to know that.

she asked if he wished to go, glancing up at him. she wanted to walk out there with him, to show those others who she was with. yeah she was proud of her date, why shouldn't she be? usually she wasn't one for attention, and in fact the whole idea of tonight being just her and louis sounded nice, but she still wanted people to see them. then again louis didn't really look too excited about this, perhaps he didn't want to go out in front of all those people? she'd understand that of course, but with both of them dressed up as they were..."Sure," she grinned softly at him and watched how he offered her his arm. no guy had done that before and her heart gave a little flutter at the gesture. smiling at him she took his arm, looping hers through it gently and going to move forward beside him, unable to help but feel like the luckiest girl in the school right then.

Honestly he didnt believe it, all he thought was that it was his veela charm that attracted the girls, nothing else. Definitely not his personality, he didnt know a girl who like the shy quiet type...well that was before he met Hannah. She simply turned the world upside down and made him look at things in a different light. "It is." She reconfirmed what she had said and all that matter was her opinion right? Who cares what others thought, he wasnt taking them to the ball. For some strange reason it felt good standing by her side with their arms entwined. Why? That was something he couldnt understand. She felt as if she belonged there and if he belonged there and it was a feeling that he had not felt before. Once again he asked himself why, yet could not come up with an answer. Her returned her smile, before leading her past the Hufflepuff guys that were still waiting for their dates and out of the common room. Luckily the Hufflepuff common room wasnt up in the towers. With all those stairs that lead down from said towers, he would have no doubted tripped over one of them and then the night would have been ruined. Glancing at her as he walked, he still couldnt believe how lucky he had been and how gorgeous she was in that dress. The walk to the great hall was short, too short for his liking. He liked the idea of just the two of them sitting in a deserted corner talking to one another, who cared about dancing. But here they were at the Yule Ball. Nerves fluttered in his stomach again as he stepped through the doors and into the great hall. "So this is the Yule Ball," he spoke out loud, admiring the decorations before turning to Hannah, she outshone everything here. ((i am so sorry i thought i replied to this earlier. sorry about the crappiness too))
