Open First time for everything

[Neven Lurken]

The fact that Neven Lurken actually asked Taerin to the Yule Ball was amazing on its own, since he had no intention to even go. But, last time they were hanging out, about a week ago, it just escaped him, and to his surprise, she even said yes. Neven got dressed in a dressy outfit, but also didn't want to overdo it. He was embarrassed by his picture because he had this nervous, geeky smile. Hopefully, Taerin would never open the yearbook to find that picture. Ever. He walked up from the dungeons, and arrived at the doors of the Great Hall. He peered inside and saw that there were a lot of couples already. Neven cleared his throat, and waited on the Ravenclaw. Somehow, he was real nervous about this, and he was unsure why.

Taerin would never have gone to the Yule Ball if no one had asked her to attend with them, and that fact that Neven had was particularly curious. He did seem a little different to most boys she'd met at the school, and talking to him made a change from doing everything by herself. After getting herself ready and making her way to the Great Hall, she was filled with a little apprehension that maybe all of their friendship was leading towards something that was going to hurt her. After all, there was a reason she didn't trust many people. "Neven!" she called out when she was just a short distance away, glad to see the Slytherin was already here so that she didn't have to loiter by herself. Her stomach flipped at the sight of him, but the blonde was convinced it was only because of the nerves.

Neven heard his name, and he felt his heart skip a beat. Well, he must go to the nurse for that later. That could never be normal. Not something he would need to worry about, he was sure. Neven approached her and couldn't help but admire the way she looked. She was absolutely dashing. "You look really good, Taerin. This is my first Yule Ball, actually." Neven was truthful when he spoke about it. There was the added fact that he had no idea how to dance. At all. He low key started to freak out a little bit. Why did he bother asking her here if he didn't know how to dance? "Want to go in and get some food? I heard that it is pretty good." Neven also hoped that Taerin would not ask to dance. Otherwise, he was going to make a complete fool of himself.
