Open Loitering

[Kiasora Cantore]

Kia had been surprised to find a dress among her things- how had it gotten there? She took it as a sign to go to the ball, however, so once she had gotten ready she made her way down to the great hall. There were a lot of kids there, but none of them immediately caught her interest. She skirted around for a bit, finding a few odds and ends no one would miss and stashing her new trinkets in the little purse she carried. After a while she grew bored of that, and sat at one of the tables, a muffin in her hands.

Lucas wasn't entirely sure why the yule ball was all wintery themed, when in New Zealand Christmas was definitely a summer holiday, but he didn't mind. The magical snow was definitely enchanting, and he had been happy to see the baubles they had made as part of the decorations. He felt proud to have been a small part of that, even if his bauble didn't look that good compared to some of the others. After admiring the decorations, he headed over to a table for snacks and spotted a familiar girl. He hadn't ever spoken to Kia, but knew her from his classes. "Hi, are these any good?" He asked, gesturing to the muffins.

Kia looked up when someone spoke, surprised to see a Hufflepuff boy. "They're alright," she replied. She took another bite of her muffin, looking him over. He looked so... soft. Different from the boys she normally spent time with. He was kinda cute, too. "Do you wanna sit?" She found herself asking, giving him a small smile. It couldn't hurt to talk to a cute boy, could it? None of her friends seemed to be around right now anyway.
