Not Together

[Gabriella Davenport]

Gabriella was on her way to the Yule Ball. She went by herself already, because Heather would be there soon. She hoped she would see Marcos too, she didn't understand why he liked Gabriel. Marcos seemed to have more brains than her nephew had. She didn't understood the combination but she was not the person that would change something to it. She and Gabriel would never become good friends so she had to deal with it, since she thought Marcos was nice after all. She would find her friend Heather in the Great Hall for sure she thought or some other Slytherin girls she had met. The blonde wasn't that glad with her grades she only got two O's and didn't think her father would be happy with one P and A she got. Perhaps she should stay at school in the break, but she needed to face her father once.

As she made her way down and entered the Great Hall she smiled shortly at the decoration. She loved this time of the year and it was a nice event she thought. When the blonde made her way to the drink and food table she looked around if she saw some people she knew. But she wouldn't mind standing along the side with a drink too.

Marcos felt his confidence grow with his recent results, they were better than his first semester at this school, which gave him all the confidence in the world. It of course wasn't the best grades he could get, but he was happy about them, he felt like this could only be a step in the right direction for him. He could continue to work hard on what he was doing and then eventually he would get better at it. The boy was happy that it was the end of the semester, it hadn't been difficult yeah, but he was still glad for the end. His mind needed a rest and he could practice up for the next semester, more quidditch, more fun to be had. He fixed the shirt a little as he stepped into the room. The boy glanced about and spotted Gabriella by the drinks table, though he was thinking of looking out for Gabriel, he decided to go talk to her. She like last year was dressed incredibly well. He thought she was beautiful, like incredibly beautiful. As far as he had noted she was also rather smart.

"Hey Gabriella!" the gryffindor said as he approached her, "How are you?" he asked politely. The boy smiled at her brightly. The boy had spent a great amount of time with her cousin, his dormmate, but he had enjoyed spending time with her as much as him, "You look beautiful, are you here alone?" the boy asked, he didn't know if she came alone, but it never hurt to ask about it. Plus, if she wasn't perhaps he would give up his search for Gabriel or perhaps he could try to find Perry to spend time with him. At the very least it wouldn't be a time badly spent.

The blonde would meet up with Heather as they would go together. She was her date, but they would just go as best friends ofcourse. She was glad to have her as her friend. If her father heard of the friends she made he would just say they were a distraction but Gabriella didn't want to be alone. She was insecure of herself and someone as confident as Heather was nice having on your side. Gabriella didn't saw her friend yet so she decided to pour something to drink for herself and observe from the side. When she took a sip she heard a voice and noticed Marcos coming at her. He spotted her and she was kind of happy he did. It would be nicer to be here with someone than alone. She had the feeling people were staring at her otherwise and she didn't really liked it, it made her uncomfortable. She set her drink on the table beside her and looked at Marcos with a tiny smile. '' Hi Marcos.'' she said friendly. As she already knew she thought of Marcos as a friendly boy and he wanted to have a conversation with her. '' I'm fine. Was waiting on Heather, but didn't saw her yet. And you? Are you waiting for someone?'' Gabriella noticed she was curious if Marcos was with someone here. She asked herself why it would care, but it did. She hoped that the fact she and Gabriel didn't liked eachother that much would not bother Marcos. If Marcos would ever speak about him, the blonde couldn't be very postive about her nephew. But she tried to ignore that topic. She got a bit shy when he said she looked beautiful. She wasn't aware of that herself and didn't knew how to react on this. Why would he say this? Perhaps because he was just nice. She nodded at Marcos at his question '' Heather and I would go together as friends.'' the blonde added.

Marcos smiled at her as she greeted him. He didn't know who Heather was, but he assumed that she was probably a slytherin like Gabriella, "Nope," he replied with a shrug, clearly not bothered by this fact. He liked being at the event on his own, it wasn't the most interesting way to spend this time, but he didn't hate it. "Might see if Gabriel is about, I don't know if he had a date to this," he added thinking about trying to find the boy but happy to have at the very least run into Gabriella at the event. He figured that she was attended with Heather as a friend, just because he was sure she'd already be in the room if they were together. He glanced at her and smiled, "Do you want to dance or something while you wait?" he asked. he would happy to dance with her, since it was such an easy thing that they could do. He couldn't help the smile on his face as he looked at her. He wasn't sure she would want to, but it never hurt to ask. It would be a way to spend a bit of time, and then he would have an occasion to dance with someone.
