Old School Week Princess For A Night

[Aine Thompson]

It was probably the delirium but Aine actually felt pretty. I'd give the My Immortal description of her outfit here but these posts are meant to be short so you'll just have to imagine it. She walked into the hall with a false sense of confidence in order to see what was going on.

 

[Ngawaiata Martin]

Ngawaiata was at the Yule Ball and she didn't usually go to things like this but she had decided to today. She was wearing a long black dress like this

And had done her hair up in a messy bun

She saw Aine from class and she had never really talked to her before but talking to Kiara had made her feel more brave about strangers. So she went over to the Hufflepuff and gave her a friendly nod hello.

It took Aine about 15 seconds to stop feeling confident but she could pretend that girls like Ngawaiata didn't intimidate her. She nodded back. "You look nice. Oh s**t, is that weird to say?"

 

[Ngawaiata Martin]

Ngawaiata was immediately filled with regret. She had always liked Aine in class, but how were you supposed to just... go up to someone and make conversation? She felt her face heat at the other girl's fumbles, fumbling herself for a response. "Oh, uh, no, it's... it's cool." She said quietly, wracking her brain for a response and coming up empty. "You too."

 

[Aine Thompson]

Aine wished the floor would swallow her up, but that was nothing new. "Oh, uh, thanks." She looked around, trying to think of something for conversation. As though she had to, even though she could've just pretended she had to go meet someone. Lying wasn't her strong suit, though. "It's...weird, having winter Christmas."

 

[Margo Fox]

Margo was surprised to see just how different the decorations for the ball could be from year to year and she took it all in as she entered the great hall. She didn't have big hopes for the night. She just wanted to get through it since the idea of sitting it out felt more depressing. Thankfully she spotting some familiar faces and joined them. "Hi." she said a bit awkwardly since Aine and Ngawaiata were already mid conversation. "You have to admit it is pretty though."
