Last (and first) Ball.

[Chayton Ateara]

It was the yule ball Chayton wasn't really sure what that entailed but he had been told it like a dress where the girls went in guesses and the boys in suits, and all the girls were exited hoping they would be asked to attend by a boy. a few days earlier he and madlyn had been hanging out when the topic of the ball came up and they had decided to attend together. he had spent the afternoon packing his trunk (it was harder for him than most people as his dorm as his clothes were about twice the size of most other peoples. at least he had an extending charm on it. the last half hour he had had a shower, put a comb through his hair and put on his suit. he wanted to be there before Madlyn. as what sort of impression will it give her if she was there first?
He reached the ground floor and he checked the great hall to make sure he wasn't late before heading back to the entrance hall to wait for her. his eyes watching the stairs as he greeted some of his friends who arrived always keeping an eye out for madlyn. He Liked her, like really liked her, he hoped that she would be there soon he couldn't wait to see her again.

 

[Madlyn Ateara]

Madlyn was working on nerves when the day of the yule ball arrive. Thanks to her lovely sister she was given a better dress since last year disaster had left her looking like a big giant yellow banana, so she was excited to see Briar had at least good taste in dresses. With a few adjustments and minor spells, the dressed slipped on perfectly. She checked her reflection in the mirror after a wash and would admit she loved the dress on her. But that wasn't the point really Chayton would be the one attending the Yule Ball with her, so she'd hope he appreciated the effort she made tonight to impress him.

With her hair pressed in soft curls and light make- up added to her assemble, Madlyn felt ready. She slipped on a pair of black shoes and headed out the dormitory with a few fellow Gryffindors following behind. She smiled when she finally arrived by the great hall seeing Chatyon waited for her as well. He looked well dressed, for two part - giants they looked rather normal looking, besides the height she would think they would look normal. Madlyn walked over to him biting her bottom lip, she tap his shoulder and spoke loud enough for him to hear, "Well hi, don't you look dashing" she chuckled innocently eying him over.

Chayton saw Madlyn appear at the top of the stairs and Made his way over to her. thankfully he seemed to have just about gotten over the stage of blushing every time he saw her. however seeing her this evening made his jaw drop slightly, he smiled widely as she treated the bottom. "Madlyn, you look Amazing" he said then at her comment about him he bowed his head unfortunately starting to blush. he apparently his blush reflex hadn't got as far as staying away during compliments. "Nothing compared you you" he replied mumbling slightly taking her arm ready to escort her properly into the great hall, and into the ball which he knew was decorated like a winter wonderland. "are you ready" he asked smiling widely. he didn't mind who else was in the hall for him madlyn was the prettiest girl in the room.
they entered the great hall and a shower of snow started falling on his head. it was enchanted to not reach high enough to reach the students but apparently they hadn't banked on a student over nine feet. he looked around trying to figure what people were meant to do here not sure he looked at madlyn "ermm, what do people actually do at the ball. there was never anything like this at orion" he said he had put so much thought into getting her to come with him he hadn't thought on what to do now they were here.
