DRESS IS HERE!Christmas eve had come and gone and Christmas morning offered a whole new world of excitement. What with opening presents and getting ready for the Yule Ball? The whole day was going to be filled with busy students doing this and that for whatever it was their evening plans were. After opening the gifts from her family, which of course consisted of a sweater from grandma, she started getting ready for the dance. She hadn't gone to the Masquerade mainly because she just hadn't really had the time to go but for this dance she did have the time. Unfortunately she was going stag, alone, dateless, whatever it was you wanted to call it. No one had asked her and she hadn't asked anyone so alas she was going by herself. But oh well it wasn't going to be all bad most likely. She was sure going would be fun in itself. She started with her hair, debating over and over again what she should do with it. Curls? Braids? She wasn't sure. Finally she decided to curl it all in tight ringlets and then pun it all up in different little arrays on her head. She left one little ringlet down on each side of her face and left some down at the base of her neck. To complete her hair she pinned a black rose into the left side of it. Next came the dress. Her dress in her opinion was gorgeous, it was blue and black and made her eyes really pop. It was strapless and not all that long, falling halfway down her thigh. Her shoes were cute and simple black flats with bows on them. She tied a string of black beads around her neck and tied the bow at the base of her neck. She then put on some earrings that dangled down in layers. Her nails came next, being painted blue to match her dress and finally she put on a light covering of makeup. By the time this was all complete it was time for the ball, she looked in the mirror and satisfied headed downstairs. As she entered the Great Hall, where all the dances were always held, she glanced around with a smile on her face. There were already people there, some dancing, some talking and some just sitting. Not everyone had dates which made her feel like she blended in a little more. She looked around for someone she knew and spotted a few people but not people she felt like talking to just yet. Instead she headed to the punch table and grabbed a small glass, swaying to the beat of the music that was playing. She wondered who Lorcan would show up with, if anyone, and wondered what he had chosen to wear. Her mind drifted to thoughts of Lorcan as she stood at the table, not really paying too much attention to those around her but making sure to stand out of the way at the same time.[/size][/blockquote][/blockquote]

THE POST ITSELF IS 607 WORDS LONG, SO THAT JUST MEANS I'M AWESOME. YULE BALL OUTFIT Lorcan pulled on the tie for what seemed like the millionth time. The instant he put it on, it felt like he was being choked. Of course he knew it wasn’t possible, he had but the damn black thing on himself. Heck he hadn’t even tightened it up much. Maybe it was the disappointment in him. He had asked a girl out, and now he found that she was in the hospital wing, unable to attend the night. It had taken him all afternoon to debate on whether or not he should still go and only within in the last hour had his twin persuaded him to let loose and have some fun.
'Who cares if we don't have dates,' he swore he heard his brother speak, maybe it was someone else in the dorm that had spoken. Maybe not maybe boys from the fifth year Ravenclaws had dates either. His fingers once again snaked around the knot of the tie and pulled down, hoping to give him the much needed relief. Maybe it was just nerves, he thought. Yea that had to be it, nerves. Not once had he attended anything like this, heck he didn’t even go to the masquerade ball, he just stayed in his dorm with his books and his equipment for pranks.
"Do we really have to go Ly?" he asked, his tone pleading with his brother. But with a sharp stern look from his younger twin, he shut his mouth. His mind wandered to the thoughts of Jez, what would she be wearing. No doubt he knew she'd be going with that damn annoying Gryffindor. The one that happened to be the cousin of his best friend. Just thinking of Hugo and Jez made his mind quickly shift to Mini. Was she even going to this dance, he hadn’t had the chance to actually find out. But if she was going, what would she wear, what colour and who would she be going with? Just thinking of his best friend getting more attention from guys than she wanted made his blood boil. That’s it, he wasn’t going to beg Lysander to stay in the dorms; he was going. He would make it his mission to keep an eye on Mini. There was no way he'd allow anyone to touch his best friend without hers and his approval. Was he jealous of the other guys, ha no, he thought, it was mere protectiveness right? Well add a hint of possessiveness with it, but hey no one could blame him for wanting to make sure his best friend was ok and having a good time.
This time when his hands went to his tie, he didn’t try and loosen it, instead he made sure the knot was still intact as he pulled it closer to his throat. He ignored the chocking feeling and turned on his shoe cladded feet, heading out of the dorm with his brother in tow. It wasn’t long until he heard the music and the chatter of others as he drew closer to the great hall. Stepping just inside the door, he scanned the crowd. It was only when he received an elbow from his brother in his ribs that he noticed his best friend, all alone at the drinks table. He stood there and watched her, admired her as she swayed to the beat of the music. She looked stunning which brought about the question, who was she here with? Without thinking he left his brother's side and headed over to her.
"Hey," he said leaning over her shoulder and plucking the drink out of her hands, "thanks."

She had been standing alone near the drink table for a grand total of maybe five minutes before she suddenly felt her drink being plucked out of her hands. Snapping her attention back to reality she scowled a little and looked at her assaulter. Her face lightened as she saw who it was "I should have known it was you who was stealing my drink. Always the gentleman" she replied with a laugh before taking it back from him and purposefully drinking the entire contents of it in one swallow. She gave a little smirk and set the cup down beside her on an empty part of the table "Get your own" she added with a playful smile. She hadn't actually known if he was going to show or not, they hadn't discussed the ball at all during their meeting.
He looked good, she had to admit that. All snazzy and dressed up in a black suit with a nice light blue shirt underneath. It was funny because they almost matched each other despite the fact they hadn't gone together. She wondered if he was here with someone and if he was who it might be and where she might be. "Look at you all dressed up. Guess you really can clean up good" she added with a teasing tone. Neither one of them ever bothered to dress up for the other since they had been around each other since birth they didn't even worry about having to impress one another, at least not right now. "Like my color choice?" she asked signaling to her dress. It seemed that a lot of people tended to wear outfits that matched their house or at least the Christmas theme. She had chosen a nice color of blue.
"So who are you here with?" she asked deciding to just figure it out right off the bat and not have to beat around the bush and drive herself insane wondering. It was possible he was here alone but she wanted to know, both out of curiosity and out of jealousy.

THE POST ITSELF IS 537 WORDS LONG, SO THAT JUST MEANS I'M AWESOME. YULE BALL OUTFIT He had a huge smile on his face as he watched her snap out of whatever daydream she seemed to be having. He was ready for her onslaught but instead he got her bright warm smile. He shrugged his shoulders, ready to take a mouthful of the drink when she stole the cup back.
"Now that wasn’t very ladylike," he replied, dropping his hand back to his side.
"Maybe you should get lesson from your sister, she's much more ladylike," of course he was only teasing. He would change Mini one bit, besides she'd be no fun if she were raised to be more like a snobbish lady. He'd take the fun loving, caring Mini any day.
"Get your own," he heard he say before downing the whole cup. All he needed to hear was the burp and she'd be 'one of the guys'.
"Ah but I did get my own, you were standing with it staring into space, didn’t think you were going to drink it, so I thought I’d help you with it," he shrugged as he picked up a cup and poured himself a drink. Taking a mouthful of it, he looked around. No one had yet to approach Mini nor did he get the feeling that he was getting holes burned into the back of his head. So where was her partner, maybe they had planned to meet each other at the ball and he was running late. Well if that was the case, he'd just have to keep her company until her date showed up. What a perfect opportunity to figure out who she was with and issue him with a silent death threat if he tried anything.
Lorcan snapped back into reality when he heard her speak again, saying about him being about to clean up good. Honestly he didn’t think he looked that great. Dress robes did nothing for him, they simply reminded him of muggle tuxedos and suits, not that he had a problem with them, they just weren’t him. He was more of a jeans and shirt guy, he went for comfort over fashion. He took her words as an invitation to look her up and down again, this time paying attention to the smallest of details. Hey he was a guy and obviously she had checked him out.
"Hmm blue, very nice," he replied, "Why blue, some would think you're a Ravenclaw?"
And then she asked the question he had been dying to ask her. Who was the lucky date. Raising his head, he scratched the back of his head.
"Well you see, my date is currently in the hospital wing, and before you ask it wasn’t of my doing," he replied, knowing she would have likely asked if he was the cause of her being stuck in the hospital wing, "Her friends said something about her getting sick this morning, apparently she threw up and then fainted, guess she didn’t like one of her Christmas presents." His grin widened. The last part about the Christmas present was meant to be a joke, whether or not she got it was another story.
"And what about you, who am I going to have to kill tonight?" he asked.

"Now why on Earth would I ever get you a drink? As I recall the man is supposed to do the drink getting" she replied with a laugh and shifted her weight onto her left side. She was happy that she had decided not to wear heels, though she wasn't all that tall really she didn't like the way that heels made her feet hurt to the extreme. Some girls were so used to them but she, like Lorcan, liked to dress for comfort. Today was the exception to that because he dress wasn't exactly complete comfort but it wasn't bad either. Strapless tended to make her nervous that she might lose it but in reality the dress was tight enough around her that it wouldn't go anywhere.
"Blue suits me much better than red" she replied with a matter of fact tone but also with a bright smile. The blue of the dress was chosen so that it would bring out the blue in of her eyes. Besides with her light blonde hair she tended to look better in the softer tones as compared to a bright and vibrant red color. When he said that his date was in the hospital wing she instantly gave him an accusing look. He claimed he didn't do anything though but then his next statement made her second guess that. "You better not have done anything to the poor girl Lorcan!" she scolded playfully. She knew he probably hadn't done anything and that he was just trying to pull her leg but sometimes with him it was hard to tell when he was joking and when he was telling the truth. After fifteen years of knowing him there wasn't much that she wouldn't put past him or much that would surprise her anymore.
"It is your lucky night, you don't have to kill anyone. I didn't get asked to the dance and didn't catch a fancy in asking anyone so I just came alone" she replied with a shrug. She noticed when he looked her over that his eyes lingered at certain spots, but she should expect that what with him being a guy. Having someone look at her like that though made her flush slightly, especially because it was Lorcan. "So I guess we are both dateless tonight then" she replied with a small sigh. Not to fear though, she was sure the dance would still be ok even without a date. Deep down she was kind of glad Lorcan had come alone, she wasn't sure how her feelings would have reacted to seeing him with a date.

THIS FTW POST WAS WRITTEN JUST FOR DOMINIQUE, WHO IS THE EVER LOVEABLE BREA. THE POST ITSELF IS 453 WORDS LONG, SO THAT JUST MEANS I'M AWESOME. To him, her statement was only for those on dates, the guy was meant to charm the girl by getting her drinks and doing other things for her, but Mini was not his date, she was his best friend, that statement simply didn’t apply to them. He decided to ignore it rather than get into a heated discussion about who was right. This night was about having fun, and well having the champions show themselves off but that was besides the point. All he wanted was to have fun, and he figured she did too.
She was right about the colour though, blue suited her much better than red. Oh he had no problem with the colour red, he just didn’t think it suited many people, especially Mini. He took another sweeping gaze over her dress, he couldn’t get over how stunning she was. Her voice broke his train of thoughts.
"I swear to you I did nothing," he held his hands up almost like he was surrendering. Gee did she have so little faith in him? After all these years of knowing one other, surely she would have known he wouldn’t do anything to intentionally keep someone from a night of fun. His jokes and pranks were not meant to harm others, they were simply done for a laugh, to lighten up the mood in the room and whilst the person having the prank done on them was often angry with him at first, they usually ended up laughing along with the crowd, but to harm another, no that was not him, although...he slid his glance to Lysander, he wondered if his brother had a hand in her sudden sickness. He wouldn’t put it past his twin to do so.
Huh she didn’t get asked to the dance and she never asked anyone. He couldn’t help admire her then. He knew that a lot of girls who didn’t get a date wouldn’t come, but for a girl to come alone, well now that was something he liked seeing, not because he could dance and joke with them without the thought of being threatened, but because it showed him that those girls were independent, that they didn’t need another to have fun. It was different when guys came alone, they could huddle in a corner and check out the girls. Both dateless?
"That we are," he replied, "We don’t have to be, I mean we could say we came as friends if you wanted. I'd rather spend the night with you then my brother anyways." Did that sound alright? He wasn’t used to this sort of thing and now knowing Mini was dateless, well he could kill Lysander for dragging him down here.

"Don't worry Lor, I was only pulling your leg. I know you wouldn't never actually hurt someone" she replied with a kind smile. She knew Lorcan better than anyone, maybe even better than Lysander did lately, so she of all people knew that he wasn't the type of person to intentionally cause someone serious hurt or issues. He was of course one to play jokes and pranks but his pranks were never something that would cause someone to go to hospital wing, at least not usually. Plus he would never have done that to a girl he wanted to go the dance with.
When he suggested they just say they came together, as friends, she decided to go along with it and just play the game. "Sure, why not" she replied with a shrug. It wasn't a huge deal to her if people thought she came here alone or whether they thought she came here with Lorcan. "Or I could tell people I came with you and Ly, I would be a player then" she replied with a laugh, joking of course. She wasn't that type of person, she just wanted to see what Lor's face would look like upon hearing it. Generally Lor got a little touchy when Mini brought up his brother in that way, generally but not always. She wondered where his feelings would lie tonight.
"But of course, we can still dance with whoever we want while we are here" she replied to emphasize that they were indeed only friends. It was a way for her to convince herself, not really to convince him. If she let her mind wander then was going to start thinking it meant more than it really did and that wouldn't make the night good for anyone. Mini shifted her weight onto her right leg and glanced down at her dress, adjusting the top a little. She liked being dressed up, it made her feel really pretty and noticeable. Mini generally flew underneath the radar but at least tonight she was getting some compliments and looks from guys and girls, it was a self esteem boost that many didn't think she needed but she knew that it was still nice to have. Despite seeming like she didn't care what others thought of her she really did, especially Lorcan.

THIS FTW POST WAS WRITTEN JUST FOR DOMINIQUE, WHO IS THE EVER LOVEABLE BREA. THE POST ITSELF IS 431 WORDS LONG, SO THAT JUST MEANS I'M AWESOME. Pulling his leg, well now, that he was glad about, he didn’t want her to get angry or upset with him over something he didn’t do, maybe he should have rephrased his words, thought about how it would sound before he actually spoke...nah that wasn’t like him, he was more of the time that would get in trouble because of his mouth. If she were any other girl, he figured he'd have been slapped already, but she wasn’t any other girl, she knew him all too well. He smiled sheepishly again, what would he do without her, he wondered?
Ah so she accepted his proposal of 'coming together as friends'. It sure did beat staying with his brother all night, he could only imagine his twin wanting to talk his ear off about school, it sent a shiver down his spine.
"Or I could tell people I came with you and Ly, I would be a player then" well that was one way of bursting his bubble. Her a player, it took everything in him not to laugh. He could not imagine Mini ever dating two or more guys at once, in fact he couldn’t imagine her dating ever. Maybe it was just his protective side coming out, but hey he wanted his best friend all to himself.
"Oh really?" he asked, glancing up to look for his brother, "well he's over there. I'm sure he'll get a big head and won’t leave you alone for the whole night, you wouldn’t want to get his hopes up only for them to be crushed later on when you reject him?" ah yes two could play at that game, "well shall I go and get him them," he took a step in his brother's direction, a playing smile on his face.
He paused when she spoke again, saying that they could dance with whoever they wanted. Maybe she did want to dance with Ly after all.
"Of course," he replied. It wasn’t like he wasn’t going to do much dancing...make that no dancing that night. He had two left feet and was uncoordinated on the dance floor, anyone that valued their life would not ask him to dance. He sighed and glanced up, blinking then froze. How did that get there he wondered. Maybe Mini hadn’t seen it yet. Lowering his gaze, he pretended not to see the mistletoe above them, there was no way besties should kiss, wasn’t there a rule exempting them from such thing.
"Shall we uh say hi to Ly?" he asked, looking over at his brother once more.

Mini decided that continuing to tease him and joke around was going to be the easiest way to make it through this evening without having her head fill with what ifs and maybes. "Well I am gonna have to find someone to dance with, and I know for a fact that Ly is a better dancer than you are. I still remember you stomping on my feet during the times before I was smart enough to say no and you were smart enough to stop trying" she replied with a nonchalant look, as if she were completely serious. Of course that look didn't last long, within moments she broke out in soft laughter.
When he suggested they go say hi to his brother she shrugged her shoulders, "Sure we could do that" she replied. It was true that she got along well enough with Lorcan's twin brother, they had never been good friends but they got along well enough. Growing up Mini and Lor had always been up to no good when they were together and Ly had always seemed to watch from the outside, never wanting to join in their trouble making. But Mini had no qualms towards Ly, he was a nice enough guy and she had to admit he wasn't that bad to be around really. Her and him were actually more similar to each other in personality than she and Lorcan. She had always heard that opposites attract and figured that must be why she and Lor got on so well.
Hanging around with Lor she always felt like they were just friends, well she didn't feel that in her own mind but he made her feel like that was the case. When she was around Ly though she felt like he might see her in a different way than Lor did. Both brothers had known her since birth but Lor treated her like a sister while Ly seemed to treat her like something a little different. It wasn't something she could place her finger on but she knew something was there. It wasn't something she was ever going to bring up with Lor though so the point was quite moot. Either way she enjoyed the company of her friends, just some more than others.

THIS FTW POST WAS WRITTEN JUST FOR DOMINIQUE, WHO IS THE EVER LOVEABLE BREA. THE POST ITSELF IS 329 WORDS LONG, SO THAT JUST MEANS I'M AWESOME. SORRY ITS CRAPPY Insult much, he thought, throwing a hand over his heart and feinting being hurt.
"Such words wound me," he spoke although he knew they were true. Dancing was definitely not his forte, but it still hurt that she thought his brother was better, couldnt she have picked another person out of her mind, say her brother, or even a cousin of hers, but no, she had to rub the salt into the wound by using his brother. Soft laughter was heard, oh great now she was laughing at him and he hadnt even pulled a prank, guess the joke was finally on him this time, he thought as he shot her a half hearted glare. Her laughter was infectious and before he knew it, he was chuckling along with her. He could never stay mad at her, at least not in her presence. Perhaps he ought to try the whole avoidance thing next time he wanted to be mad at her. No she'd most likely end up sending thousands of owls until he sought her out.
Wait she just agreed to see his brother with him, was she completely mental. It was either the mistletoe above them or losing her to dancing with Ly for the whole night, all he had to do was find out which was the lesser evil.
"Really, no I was joking. Can’t you see he's fine, really, he looks completely engrossed with the conversation he's having, let’s leave him be," his voice was rushed as he looked up again, hoping to hell that the magical mistletoe was gone, but no it was still there. Lorcan knew his words weren’t going to be enough to deter her and so he had to use his last resort, one he didn’t want to use.
"Did you specifically choose to stand in this spot?" he asked, hoping his question would be enough to make her curious and to throw her off the idea of going over to Lysander.

Mini got the feeling that his fake feelings of hurt were only have fake. She could tell that he was joking about being hurt when she called him out on being a bad dancer but then there was something there that had actually made him uncomfortable. Maybe not quite the extreme of hurt but something was irritating him. She had known him long enough to be able to tell when he was unhappy about something, but soon enough he was laughing and the mood was getting back to normal. She decided it would be best to lay off on the whole Lysander teasing situation, she really didn't have any intentions of dancing with the other twin. When he mentioned that Ly was having a good conversation that shouldn't be interrupted Mini glanced over at the other twin. Sure enough he seemed engrossed in whatever he was talking about.
"I suppose you are right, I will leave him alone" she replied with a smile. In all honesty she would rather spend her time here with Lorcan, not off with his twin brother. Lysander wasn't the one she had been crushing on for the past year or so. When Lorcan suddenly, out of the blue, asked her if she had specifically chosen to stand in this spot she looked at him slightly confused. "Umm no I just walked over here to get some punch and then you showed up and yeah you knew the rest of the story" she replied wondering where the odd question had come from. She looked around her for a moment wondering what it was about this spot that was different than any other spot in the place.
She looked left then right, she even looked down and around. The spot appeared fine to her, it was out of the way and no one was really bothering them. They were far enough from the dance floor that they wouldn't get sucked into the fray but close enough in that they didn't seem like complete outcasts. She thought it was a very good spot in general but wondered why he didn't think so, or seemed not to. Suddenly she glanced up above her head and then a flush hit her cheeks within a matter of seconds "Oh" was all she said at that point. Her eyes lowered back down to meet his for a moment before that was even too much and she looked back at her feet for a second, her face pink with embarrassment. "Now I get why you asked, I honestly had no idea that was even there" she added bring her downcast eyes back up to see what his reaction was going to be now that they both knew it was there. "We could just move" she suggested almost halfheartedly, she thought it was the perfect excuse to kiss him but wasn't about to ruin a good thing.

THIS FTW POST WAS WRITTEN JUST FOR DOMINIQUE, WHO IS THE EVER LOVEABLE BREA. THE POST ITSELF IS 490 WORDS LONG, SO THAT JUST MEANS I'M AWESOME. He sighed in relief; she was going to leave Ly alone. It was like the weight of the world had lifted from his shoulders. It was bad enough how Ly went on about this girl, although it wasn’t hard to figure out he was talking about Mimi, his twin did not need the confidence boost. He did not need the rejection from her, although most of the time he deserved it and Lor believed it would bring him down to earth again.
And that was when he realised his mistake. He had opened his mouth too early, not having waited to hear her answer. This was going to be absolutely awkward, he thought. Ly would have loved to been in his shoes, he could already picture the scowl on his twins face.
"Umm no I just walked over here to get some punch and then you showed up and yeah you knew the rest of the story" She hadn’t seen it, he didn’t know if that was a good thing or not, but at the moment he was hoping for it to be good. He watched her look around, everywhere but up, yes that was definitely a good sign, if she didn’t see it then there wouldn’t be all the awkwardness and embarrassment of having to kiss each other.
She just had to look up as well, he thought a moment after she did so, hearing the small 'oh' escape her lips. All he could think of was that they were doomed. He wanted the floor to split in two and swallow him up, or better yet have a dragon swoop in here and breath fire on the stupid mistletoes.
"We could just move" Somehow he doubted that the plant would allow them to simply move without kissing. He had heard of the pull the plant had over people, forcing them to kiss when they didn’t want to. Would it settle for a kiss on the cheek, he wondered. Books never did describe what type of kiss it had to be. Heck he'd settle for kissing her hand, anything that wouldn’t make him squirm at the thought of having to kiss his best friend on the lips. Merlin she was probably feeling the same as him, he thought. Panicked and trying to get out of the situation unscathed.
"I doubt it would let us, it'll probably follow us around," he replied, looking up at the innocent looking plant. He wanted to kill it, tear the leaves from it. Taking a deep breath he turned his attention back to Mini and decided to try the kissing of the cheek. Leaning in he placed a soft kiss on her left cheek before leaning back, glaring at the plant and taking a step away from Mini, only to feel the said pull the books wrote about it. Damn it, he thought, he didn’t want to kiss her on the lips...or so he thought.

This was probably one of the most embarrassing and awkward moments she and Lorcan had been involved in with each other. Never before had the two even come close to doing more than the occasional hug or pat on the back. Sure she had held his hand but it had never been anything more than simple friendship. Now that friendship was being tested in a new way, was it going to just stay the way it had always been or change. Since they were in diapers they had been stuck at the hip, but until recently Mini had never felt anything but friendship for the boy. It intrigued her how he seemed to relax a bunch after she mentioned leaving Lysander alone, she wondered if there was some feud going on between the brothers that she was unaware of. She had a feeling it might have something to do with her due to the way Lorcan always got all weird when she joked around about Lysander.
Lorcan was the first to make a move in the awkward situation at hand. He leaned forward and kissed her cheek with a light peck. It wasn't much but it was more than they had touched on before and pushed the boundaries of their friendship in new ways. A flush flew to her cheeks and turned them a deep shade of pink, seemingly more noticeable due to her light skin tone. Her eyes were downcast, not wanting to look him in the eye right now, afraid that her eyes would betray her true feelings. She could see that he was just trying to get out of the awkward situation and probably thought she was doing the same. She was afraid that if he truly looked into her face he would understand that it meant something different to her than it did to him.
Finally she brought her eyes up from the ground and looked at him "Magic sucks sometimes huh?" she replied with a nervous laugh. This was the first time in her life that she had ever felt nervous or sounded nervous around Lorcan. Her heart was thudding in her chest and her stomach was full of butterflies. She wondered if he would push the envelope any further or if he would hope that she would make the next move. She didn't want to be the one to kiss him because she would mean it if she did it.

THIS FTW POST WAS WRITTEN JUST FOR DOMINIQUE, WHO IS THE EVER LOVEABLE BREA. THE POST ITSELF IS 377 WORDS LONG, SO THAT JUST MEANS I'M AWESOME. He could feel the heat rising in his cheeks. He was not one to be embarrassed so easily, but when it came to kissing his best friend, it just seemed to be right at the top of his most embarrassing moments. Heck it wasnt even a kiss on the lips, just the cheek. It wasnt like he was not used to being close to her, he hugged her often enough to be comfortable touching her, but this was just way out of the friendship level. She was probably just as embarrassed, the same thoughts were probably running through her own mind.
He glanced over at his brother, a help me look on his face. Although he doubted that it were Ly in his place, he would have no qualm about kissing Mini. It wasnt as if she wasnt beautiful, for she was even without the veela charm. He wouldnt deny her that, but they were just friends. He turned back to Mini, wiping the look off his face.
"Magic sucks sometimes huh?", oh yes, magic certainly did suck.
"It always has the worst possibly timing," he replied. Well it did, if he hadnt been standing directly next to Mini then the stupid mistletoe would not have decided to cast it's evil spell on them. He had laughed. It wasnt her usually bubbly laugh though. Perhaps she was just as nervous as he was, wanting to be away from the damn thing that hung above them. He didnt blame her either, he would want to be away from himself if they had to kiss too.
How bad could it possibly be, he thought. It would only require a little peck...then again this was mistletoe that was hanging above them. He sighed.
"Might as well get it over and done with," he shrugged, trying not to make it out like it was a bad thing, but on the inside he was scared shitless, the only positive thing that he could think of was that Ly would be jealous. Surely if they waited long enough, the mistletoe would give up and go torture some other students, but he didnt want to wait for that long and so he leaned forward slowly, allowing her time to back out if she wanted.
