Twirl Around

[Isaiah Jeffreys]

Isaiah was having second thoughts, he was stood at the entrance to the great hall, and suddenly as he glanced down at the tutu he was wearing was having some serious second thoughts about it. He was wearing a leotard, and tutu, he had was without tights and wearing ballets shows, he had a hair band in his hair keep the fringe out of his eyes, but he didn't know. The sling was finally off, he'd spent the day practicing, running, getting himself back in shape from the week he'd missed and now he was stood at the entrance of the great hall, feeling more than a little bit exposed by what he was wearing. He looked at the others around him, and a small laugh escaped his lips, he knew this was a bad idea, but he was going to go through with it, and he would do with a smile on his face. He knew he looked stupid, but he didn't mind really, these nerves were just because he was suddenly surrounded by people. The teen took a deep breath and walked into the room, finding it far busier than he would've thought for this early point,

The teen wasn't sure what to do with himself, he was without friends really to come to this, he knew it would be easy to strike up conversation in this costume and he was pretty pleased that he did quidditch, making him really fill out the ridiculous costume, nothing about it suited his slightly larger frame, he didn't have the same build as a ballerina would have. But, he didn't care, this was halloween, and on this halloween Isaiah had opted for the ever good costume that was a little ridiculous and a little funny, he was not Isaiah the Ravenclaw for this evening, he was Isaiah the ballerina, working every day to improve fitness, to improve stamina and he stood tall in his costume, smiling and feeling like everything was a great joke and only he could really get all the enjoyment from it, he hesitated to think what Keye might say about it, what Archie's face might be seeing him like this. Isaiah picked up a bundle of sweets and put them in his mouth, halloween really was great.

[Pia Morales]

Pia had pulled her limited wardrobe together and managed to sort out a costume for that night. She was never really one to celebrate halloween but upon hearing about a halloween feast and a costume contest as well the influence it had around the school she could hardly refuse to take part. She squared her shoulders and balled her hands to fists at her sides, attempting to appear more confident than she felt as she entered the great hall. The decorations were festive and although they were corny Pia thought they were adorable. She scanned the room and decided against making a short trip to the snack table when her eyes landed on her housemate Isaiah. She curiously tilted her head to the side and smiled slightly as she took in his appearance after approaching him with false confident strides

"Ballerina?" She questioned his interesting costume in Spanish. It was unfortunate that she didn't know what the word was in English but she was sure Isaiah would eventually correct her. Regardless she thought his costume was funny and admired his confidence and bravery to wear something so revealing. She was dressed as a creepy doll which despite the fake freckles and accentuated eyes she created with make up was far less exciting and well into her comfort zone in regards to clothing. It would have been fun to attend the feast as a zombie with crazy special effects make up or magical enhancement but her confidence was far to low for her to be as daring as her housemate. "I like it." She switched back to English, her smile widening slightly as she continued to take in Isaiah's appearance.

[Isaiah Jeffreys]

isaiah glanced around the hall and noticed the cheerleader at the other side of the room, and noted that it was clearly Alana, the boy waved at her with a smile on his face before giving a small curtsy and then laughing while turning his attention back to the food, he assumed that at some point during the night he would seek her out for the dance he'd promised her but for now he was content to just watch the world around him, spotting Ares in the ridiculous shark costume which he had persuaded Isaiah to buy for him, clearly from the way he was dancing the younger Jeffreys' was enjoying himself and Isaiah was happy to see that, watching out over his brothers was more difficult when they did not share a house, but he could still do it better than before when they hadn't even been in the same country. His attention was stolen however when someone approached him, speaking to him with a word he didn't know and he glanced over, Pia, the new girl he remembered from his classes, and from the opening feast.

"Ballerina," he told her with a curtsy that given his lack of ballet skills and the fact he was a quidditch player was a little less than graceful, he nodded at her thanks and just laughed slightly, "I feel a little ridiculous and completely exposed," he laughed again despite what he said the boy seemed completely unfazed by it, that he didn't mind feeling a little bit ridiculous. He glanced at her costume taking it in and just nodding with a face of appreciation, "That's a really creepy costume," he told her with a nod, but he clearly liked it, "You look good though, did they celebrate Halloween in your last school?" the boy asked with a curious expression on his face, given that he didn't know much about it and being a Ravenclaw he was damn curious about these things. "Dance?" he offered pointing to the dance floor with a smile on his face, "I want to test this bad boy out," he twirled around clearly trying to do a pirouette but not managing at all, before laughing heartily with a shrug at his own dancing.
