First of Many

[Arnost Zhefarovich II]

Arnost Zhefarovich the Second was dressed in one of his finer suits, and felt rather good about himself. He looked for Fiona as he stood at the entrance of the Great Hall, so that they could go enjoy themselves. He was certain that the one that he was looking for would be coming down soon. Arnost was only a first year and did not know what to really expect when it came down to dances like these. He was really good at dancing, which was an advantage. But he looked inside the hall and saw many couples dancing, hugging and kissing. He flushed a brilliant red when he realized that he might have to do those things with Fiona. She was his best friend, and he didn't want to do those things for a long long time. Besides, that stuff was for older people. He was still a kid. Arnost sighed before he shoved the thought from his head, before his eyes landed on a few of his relatives having fun. He was glad that they were. But he wondered if Chaos would have been here with Scarlet. If he were not expelled.

[Fiona Smith]

Fiona Smith had managed to dress herself up fairly quickly before she was running down the winding staircase of the Ravenclaw tower. This would be one of those times that she would curse the distance between their dormitories and the Great Hall. She was sure that Arnost would be waiting for her by now. And if was such a pain to run in heeled shoes, granted they were not very high, but heeled all the same. As soon as she got to the ground floor, she had slowed her pace to catch her breath but it was all too soon that she reached the entrance to the Great Hall and found her partner for the evening. "Arnost! You look great!" she said with a grin as she looked him over while he was wearing a suit. He certainly looked different than usual, but she found him looking great for tonight.

[Arnost Zhefarovich II]

Knowing that the distance between here and the Ravenclaw house was a great distance, Arnost knew that Fiona would be taking her time arriving. As soon as he saw her, Arnost would be lying if he said that he didn't like what he saw. Fiona looked amazing. "As do you," Arnost replied when she said that he looked great. He should wear suits more since it made him look pretty good. He held out his hand to lead them inside, and he said, "So, we can dance, or we can go get some treats at the snack table. I don't mind what we do, Fiona." Arnost did not care if they would dance first, or eat then dance. It was all up to her since Arnost asked her here. She had the control. Arnost did not mind being her follower, especially since he felt somewhat awkward, here with a pretty girl.​

 

[Fiona Smith]

Fiona positively beamed at him as he returned the compliment and readily took his hand in hers. This would be their first Yule Ball and and she was quite looking forward to it. "I don't mind either to be honest," she said with a shrug as she began to walk to the Great Hall, pulling him along with her as she weighed down their options. They could go dance first but it wouldn't hurt either of them to have a bit to eat first considering there was a feast laid out for the students in the ball. "Let's look over the snack table first I suppose?" she suggested. Although he was letting her lead she still wanted to have his opinion. Besides, she was not that awful of a date to just pull him along anywhere she wanted.
