Juniper had been glad when Zeke had asked her to the Yule Ball, her one goal for the night was to not repeat last years events of taking them both down on the ice. They'd agreed to meet in front of the great hall so she was nervously making her way towards there. In all honesty she was glad to go with someone familiar since these events still tended to make her very nervous. As Juni arrived she was glad to find Zeke already there, that saved her the awkward waiting around. Greeting the boy with a small smile and awkward wave she stopped before him. "Hi, um thank you for asking me to go with you?" She said and instantly wanted to cry because why did it feel so awkward. Smoothing over her blue dress she peered past the Slytherin to the great hall that seemed to be fully stacked with students already, which made Juniper more nervous than she'd been before. Glancing to Zeke she asked nervously, "Do you... want to go in?" One of these days she was going to have a public meltdown over her own awkwardness.

Gms approved
 
Zeke had been boyfriend and girlfriend with Juniper for several weeks now, which felt like an awfully long time to still have absolutely no idea what he was supposed to do about it. They talked well enough but every time he’d tried to hold her hand, he could have sworn she somehow managed to move her hand at the exact same moment and he missed it. They hadn’t kissed yet either, which was confusing, because he was pretty sure that was one of the top things you did when you had a girlfriend. It led him to hoping that tonight might be the night. You know, the big kiss at the Yule Ball type thing that he could boast to his brother about later on. The only thing that might make his plan difficult to execute was that he’d also agreed to go with Rose to the ball. Which, in hindsight, might’ve been a bad idea, hopefully Juniper wouldn't mind since it was just a favour.

Zeke spotted Juniper and smiled when she came over to him. “Hi! You look nice” he replied, commenting on the dress and thinking about whether to hug her but she looked uncomfortable so he decided not to. “Oh, um, well not yet,” he replied when she asked if they were going in. “We’re just, uh, waiting for Rose. I also agreed to take her to the ball.” He smiled, hoping that didn’t sound as bad as it did in his head right now.
 
Rose had asked a boy to the Yule Ball, but not because she liked him. Ew. She didn't really understand what some of the other girls saw in him to be honest, however he was good for one thing. She'd made the Slytherin a deal, and how well he did his part during the Yule Ball would influence how much she would do for him later, when it came to getting his name out there. "Hi," she said briskly, popping up suddenly beside the pair and flattening down her dress to make sure she was looking presentable. Her eyes were already scanning the hall for Freddie, hoping to figure out where he was sooner rather than later so that she could put her plan into motion. As far as she was aware, she was here with Zeke and they were supposed to be a couple, although she wasn't phased by Juniper hanging around either. If anything, it would make her feel less bad for not giving Zeke as much attention as some of the other couples here tonight. "You look nice," she smiled at the Hufflepuff briefly, before her eyes were back at it, scouting the room for any side of the Ravenclaw.
 
Juniper stood awkwardly not quite sure what she was supposed to do, but when Zeke told her she looked nice she smiled softly. "Oh thank you, you do too." She managed through the fluster. Juni glanced at her boyfriend, whatever that meant because she still didn't know, as he said they weren't going in yet. A questioning frown appeared on her face and then there was a whiplash after a whiplash of the Slytherin telling her they were waiting for Rosé and then the Ravenclaw appearing. The Hufflepuff tried to say something but ended just opening her mouth a few times and closing, to say she was confused would be an understatement.

She was still trying to wrap her head around the situation when the Ravenclaw looked at her and said she looked nice, looking down at her dress Juni felt her face heating up. Why was she complimenting her too now, she looked normal. What was going on. "Thank you, you do too..." The Hufflepuff got out, almost stumbling over her words. "So, shall we... go in now?" She asked the both of them, still confused how she'd ended up here. Was Rosé Zeke's girlfriend too? Were they supposed to have multiple, she wouldn't know since her mama and mum were wives rather than girlfriends.
 
Zeke had no idea how this had happened, but his plan has kind of worked so he decided to roll with it. “Oh there she is now!” he grinned when Rose appeared, and nodded at the compliments they were giving each other, everyone was being so nice. "You both look great." And neither of them had run away which must be a good thing. "Yes lets!" He replied to Juni and feeling boosted, slung one arm around her and the other around Rose, “We should probably stay away from the ice rink this year, after what happened last time.” he laughed nervously but trying to sound confident, when in reality he had no idea what he was doing or if tonight was going to be as fun as he'd hoped.
 
Rose grinned at the pair as they complimented her back, and while she didn't exactly think they were lying, she had to admit their opinions didn't really count. She'd tried to dress in a way that Freddie would think was nice, nice enough that it would get her noticed with someone else, and that was all that mattered. Rose wasn't sure what Zeke meant when he started talking about an ice rink. She'd never ice skated before, but since she was an excellent roller skater she was probably be good at that too.

The Ravenclaw's eyes were still scanning the room frantically, although what if Freddie was looking at her, even if she couldn't see him? Rose was going to need to pretend Freddie was watching, because she couldn't be sure he wasn't. "Thank you so much," she edged a little closer to the Slytherin as he wrapped his arm around the girls, giving him the biggest smile she could muster with her mouth and her eyes. "I'm so happy you asked me to come with you," she said, just in case. Perhaps if Freddie thought she was desirable, he'd want to get her back. "Maybe we should dance?" she glanced to Juniper who seemed to be a little red in the face. Rose didn't think she was here as anything more than a friend, "then when things calm down a bit, we can all dance together?"
 
Juniper was mortified, this was all so overwhelming for her and confusing. So much was happening and she didn't know what all of it meant. Zeke had been so nice to her and she really liked him but he also really liked Rosé it seemed, was she supposed to have another boyfriend too? Deciding to just be quiet she was a little caught off guard when the Slytherin swung an arm around both of them and when he mentioned the ice rink she felt even more mortified and in an attempt to hide her face and in a way herself she turned towards Zeke and used his side as a shield of sorts. Last year she had been sure he'd hate her for taking them both down like that, but here they were.

Rosé started to talk about dancing and such, but it all really went over her head at this point. When she seemed to disregard the Hufflepuff and ask Zeke to dance with her Juni didn't even fight it, because frankly she wasn't brave enough to even try. "Right, that's okay... yeah go ahead." She said stepping away from the two and playing with the hem of her dress. She felt so small and indifferent that part of her wished to disappear completely. Of course they'd want to dance together and that was okay. She'd just go to the side and probably fight for her life to not cry. "You two go ahead, I'll just hang around somewhere?" Her eyes began searching the room for anyone she knew, but came up empty. This was going to be a long night.

Zeke didn't know what to say back to Rose thanking him for the invite since she had asked to go with him if he remembered correctly Maybe he hadn't remembered correctly though. He wasn't sure of anything right now. He opened his mouth, then closed it, then opened it again and said, "Oh er, sure no problem" whilst avoiding eye contact.

Dancing sounded fun, though the part where it didn’t include Juniper felt weird. She didn’t seem to mind, but Zeke still frowned. “You sure?” he asked, turning to her. “I can dance with you next, yeah?” He offered as a compromise and felt that was only fair to take it in turns when there were two dates to manage. He then dropped his arm from Juniper and started to take Rose towards the dance floor. He stopped though and turned back to Juniper, "Wait. I feel bad you'll be hanging by yourself. Why don't you go grab drinks for when we're done? I'll make it up to you I promise."
