Closed Perfect Match

[Jenna Irons]

Last year had just been a warm up, as far as Jenna was concerned. Her blind date had been totally tragic, but she supposed that was a fitting punishment for doing something as tragic as signing up for blind dates in the first place. This year, nothing was going to chance. Noah was cute, he was sporty, he was popular, everything Jenna was looking for in a dream boyfriend. And he had done the gentlemanly thing and asked her himself, exactly as she had hoped. This was on track to be the first date in the kind of romance people dreamed about. Popular girl and popular boy, living their dream lives. She had dressed up for the occasion, enjoying how mature the all black outfit made her look. It didn't pop, exactly, but she felt like a sophisticated lady, ready to show up her immature peers.

Waiting outside the hall for Noah to meet her, Jenna pulled a compact from her purse and double checked her makeup, brushing at a stubborn eyelash that refused to fall in line with the others no matter how many times she curled them. She should have really plucked that one before leaving, but it was in there now, unfortunately. At least the rest of her was flawless, the "casual" messy bun that had taken her four tries to get perfect offsetting the dress well. Yes, she was a sophisticated lady but, like, in an effortless way. Like she didn't even need to care. She was perfect, and now all she needed was the perfect boy to compliment her look.

Noah was feeling pretty confident about this, he knew he was supposed to be nervous but strangely he wasn't. He was now grateful that his mom and packed him a tuxedo to Hogwarts, the pants were black and the jacket and shirt were white, a cute black bowtie and some fancy black shoes that hurt his feet like hell. He sprayed some cologne, something he didn't often use, hoping to smell good for Jenna. She seemed the type to appreciate those small details.
He arrived at the hall and it didn't took long to notice the girl, even in a all black outfit. Noah was a bit confused, she didn't seem the type to dress up all black neither the type to do a messy bun with her hair for an event this big but somehow she managed to pull it off.

"Hey" he said to her, hoping that she hadn't been waiting for long, followed by a kiss on the cheek to greet her. He hoped she didn't considered that too foward, it was just something he was used to do when greeting people that he had a certain degree of familiarity.
The Gryffindor boy took a step back and looked at her again "You look stunning" he told her with a soft smirk "As always" he added. Jenna probably didn't want to stand there forever so he offered her his arm and asked "Shall we?", he couldn't wait to have fun with the girl.

Jenna had been a little nervous Noah wasn't the kind of boy who bothered putting effort into his appearance when it counted, but as soon as she saw him, she realised there had never been anything to worry about. She would have been fine with a button up and nice trousers, but the fact that Noah had worn a full tuxedo just for her made all the difference. Her bright smile only grew brighter as he approached and kissed her on the cheek, heart fluttering slightly at the touch. As much as she loved him Jenna quietly thought her dad could be a bit of a brute, and it was a relief to be on a date with such a gentleman.

"Aww, same back to you!" She said brightly when he complimented her, preening slightly. She took Noah's offered arm, beaming at the Gryffindor warmly. "Totally." She confirmed, smiling as she entered the Great Hall with him, looking around. "Awwww, it's so pretty! I love the Christmas vibes." Jenna beamed, glancing at Noah. "What should we do first?" She asked, though her eyes lingered on the dancefloor as she spoke.
