Going to the ball

[Cecily Rambolt]

Cecily grabbed handfuls of her full dress and hiked it up as far as decently possible so she could run in before it snowed again. The clouds over head were a deep grey and fluffy, just ripe for a good snow storm. She didn't want to be stuck out in her greenhouse and miss the Yule Ball this year. She wondered if Nicolas were going. She hoped so.
She made it to the castle and stepped through the entrance hall, pausing to adjust the hem of her dress and scourgify any mess that had made it's way on it from her walk. She'd chosen a strapless ball gown with a semi full skirt, in a deep sapphire that accented her tan skin tone and her blonde hair that was swept halfway up, leaving the rest to fall over her shoulders and down her back in curls. She was feeling a little down that day, as one of her favorite plants had succumbed to the winter's chill, no matter what she'd done for it.

 

[Nicolas King]

Professor King had been waiting on the further end of the Entrance Hall for Cecily to arrive from her chambers he assumed. After a few minutes the doors to the castle opened and Cecily entered the hall, presumably from her green house.
Professor King shook his head and approached her, the rose he had purchased the day prior in his hand. He offered it to her with a smile, "May I escort you then?"

 

[Cecily Rambolt]

Cecily's breath caught. "Oh,"she said, a blush staining her cheeks as she accepted the beautiful rose. "You may sir,"she replied with an old world curtsy.

 

[Nicolas King]

Nicolas chuckled at Cecily's curtsy and returned the gesture with a bow. He then looped his arm for Cecily to put hers through before saying, "Shall we then?"

 

[Cecily Rambolt]

Cecily slipped her arm through his and laid her other hand on his forearm, beaming up at him. She nodded, excited to see what the house-elfs had done to the great hall this year. She hoped they had the tables set up around the dance floor again. Dancing for hours could become quite exhausting if one couldn't sit down once in a while.

 

[Nicolas King]

Nicolas smiled and started to walk toward the Great Hall, leading Cecily.
