Roleplay

General RP

Professor S. Évreux - DAtDA Professor & Head of Gryffindor -“my heart is lost; the beasts have eaten it” Message Me – Find Me Severin would be around, assigned on duty to ensure that nothing was going awry. He was a little bit bored, and did consider bringing a hip flask for himself, but decided very much against it (much to his annoyance now).

Duke Lyon-Hawtrey - Ravenclaw 1st Year ✧ iconic bitch -“We out here drippin' in finesse, it don't make no sense.” Message Me – 00:41, August 31, 2018 (UTC) Before he went to the firsties' ball, he wanted to see for how long he could get away with being in the Yule Ball. He just didn't get the big fuss. Why wasn't he and his yearmates allowed in? There was no alcohol, and... the party itself looked lame. There's a weird look on his face as he looks around. Were they really barred from attending this dead party?

andrew. ● i'll be chasing a starlight ●

Andrew had dressed up quite nicely, if he may say so himself. He'd made sure he and Allura would be color coordinating for the ball; he wanted everything to run smoothly, because honestly? Allura deserved nothing less. It all had to be perfect for her. This was her night, and he knew it. He'd even gone as far as to wait for her inside the Slytherin common room after bribing a first year, with a teddy bear and beautifully arranged corsage. Truth be told, Andrew was excited for this ball. He couldn't wait to show her off. At long last, they arrive at the ball, and he flashes her a happy grin. "Wanna dance?" rped by jaye ● 00:41, August 31, 2018 (UTC)

Allura Mendoza - Sixth Year Slytherin • Neverland's Jane - "Think of all the joy you'll find when you leave the world behind." Message Me - 00:49, August 31, 2018 (UTC) How was it that Andrew could always make her blush, even by the smallest gesture. Maybe it was due to the fact that he literally treated her like a princess. When she found him in her commons with the flowers, bear, suit and all, her heart practically burst. She never realized you could love a person so much, and yet, she did. And so did he. For all she knew anyway. "Let's see those moves, babe." She grinned at the boy beside her, taking his hand and leading him over to the dance floor.

andrew. ● i'll be chasing a starlight ●

Andrew actually laughs, leans in and kisses her cheek, and then leads her towards the dance floor. "Dance moves whomst? I don't know how to dance, or move with rhythm. I know how to awkwardly fumble around, though, so I hope that's more up your lane," Even though he says this with a playful nudge and happy laugh, he's 100% serious. He can't dance for shit. "I hope you're a better dancer than me for our sake, baby..." rped by jaye ● 02:06, August 31, 2018 (UTC)

Cass & JJ

JJ Park - Fourth Year Hufflepuff • Witch Weekly Intern - "I live by one rule: I keep my head, heels, and standards high." Message Me - 19:39, August 30, 2018 (UTC) JJ entered the ball with bright eyes and a big smile. She was all for extravagant parties. Not to mention, she gets great material for Witch Weekly columns at events like these. But tonight she was excited for a different reason. Tonight, JJ was going to have the time of her life with her favorite person in the world and she honestly couldn't wait. Turning to Cass and clinging to his arm in excitement, JJ flashed him a grin. "This place is beautiful! I wonder how long it took them to decorate." She pondered in awe.

Cassius Selwyn - Slytherin, 6th Year -Duellist Message Me – 20:02, August 30, 2018 (UTC) Cassius is slightly less excited by the ball, but that's more to do with his mother's melodramatic nature (when she throws a party, it's something else) - what he is excited about is being at the ball with JJ. She's probably the only person at Hogwarts he genuinely adores likes, save Evangeline and Aline. They don't count, though. They're family. "Not particularly long, I believe," he muses. "Often I catch myself thinking that house elves are more powerful than wizards, with the speed they work at."

JJ Park - Fourth Year Hufflepuff • Witch Weekly Intern - "I live by one rule: I keep my head, heels, and standards high." Message Me - 00:55, August 31, 2018 (UTC) JJ nodded, taking what he said into account. She was so used to decorating or creating things by hand, not magic. What's the fun of arts and crafts if all you have to do it flick a wand (or a finger in the elves case). "Either way, it turned out to be beautiful." She decided, smiling appreciatively at the scene around her before looking back to Cassius. A playful smirk found its way onto her lips before dragging him towards the center of the Ballroom. "Let's dance!" She prompted, her voice full of excitement.

Cassius Selwyn - Slytherin, 6th Year -Duellist Message Me – 20:16, August 31, 2018 (UTC) "I'll see to it that you're invited to the next Selwyn ball," he says, deciding that how much she'll love that will outweigh his mother's outrage at his crushing on befriending a half-blood. "My mother enjoys dramatics, so the decor there is... larger." He allows himself a small smile, and a laugh slips out when she drags him onto the dance floor.

Message Me • Dressed incredibly well, at least in her opinion, Ann-Sofie was hanging around the snacks, trying to keep herself distracted while Callum wasn't there yet.

Callum Dane - 5th Year Ravenclaw • Prefect - “All That Glitters Isn't Gold.” Message Me - 01:02, August 30, 2018 (UTC) Callum rushed into the ball, feeling so horrible for being late. He lost track of time while he was studying and rushed to get ready. He hurried over to the food table when he spotted Ann-Sofie, coming to a hault and ready to explain when he saw her. "O-Oh wow... Sofie, you're gorgeous." He exclaimed in pure awe, not being able to keep his eyes off her.

Message Me • Someone was definitely a little exhausted. She could tell that much. By instinct, she steals a kiss, before saying, "You look amazing too."

Callum Dane - 5th Year Ravenclaw • Prefect - “All That Glitters Isn't Gold.” Message Me - 02:51, August 31, 2018 (UTC) Callum smiles a little at the kiss, "O-Oh thanks, I tried to get ready as fast as I could so I didn't get to see what I looked like in the mirror," He said and patted his chest a little. "I'm glad I don't look horrible," He chuckled a little. "But seriously, you're drop dead gorgeous. You outshine everyone here,"

Callum Dane - 5th Year Ravenclaw • Prefect - “All That Glitters Isn't Gold.” Message Me - 21:02, September 2, 2018 (UTC) "That's why I'm here~" He said and kissed her forehead, "How about we go out for a dance hm?" He asked, offering to take her hand.

Hunter and Leyla

Leyla Schmidt - Third Year Gryffindor • The Schmidt Legacy - "People say nothing is impossible, but I do nothing every day." Message Me - 00:42, August 28, 2018 (UTC) Leyla was actually excited for the ball. Despite not having a date, she knew her cousins would be there along with some friends that she could hang with so she wouldn't really be alone. While extravagant parties like this weren't really her thing, it was nice to spend some time away from her bed. She loved sleep, but even the laziest of people need some excitement. Hence why she was standing there, watching the couples dance from the side of the ball. All that aside, it looked like a princess threw up everywhere. Hogwarts didn't mess around when it came to throwing events.

Darius Hunter Black - Gryffindor - 3rd Year - “A little fun never hurt anyone.” Message Me - 00:59, August 28, 2018 (UTC) Ball's weren't really Hunter's thing, but he couldn't not come. He didn't have a date, not like he really wanted to bring one. Hunter wasn't much of a dancer, and he didn't want to make a fool of himself by doing so. That's why he had a drink in his hand while standing near the sidelines of everything.

Leyla Schmidt - Third Year Gryffindor • The Schmidt Legacy - "People say nothing is impossible, but I do nothing every day." Message Me - 01:48, August 29, 2018 (UTC) Leyla tore her gaze from the dancing individuals to spot a familiar face standing not too far away from her. Hunter. A smirk spread across her deep crimson lips as she came to stand at his side. "I'm surprised you're here. Not your kind of gig, is it?" Leyla commented, sparing the boy a sidelong glance with a curious expression.

Adrianna

Let's get this out of the way and state that Rhianna is the man in this relationship. Especially considering she was the one who asked Adrian in the first place. She was coy about it, but hell, she was excited. Twirling around in her navy ball gown, the subtle sparkles reflecting the light, she was looking for the door, where she and Adrian had agreed to meet at (read: she forced him to meet her at). Her hair had been flat ironed and done up in an elaborate brain bun, tied with silver ribbon that matched her earrings.

Adrian Schmidt - fourth year gryffindor student • mr steal-yo-girl wallet - “The biggest challenge after success is shutting up about it.” Message Me - 12:17, August 30, 2018 (UTC) Being a Schmidt, Adrian can luckily afford some nice-ass suits; paired with a good fashion sense, he's currently decked out in a very snazzy burgundy suit, with his hair actually groomed for once. He looks - better than usual, at least. When he walks into the ball, he spends at least ten minutes admiring the scenery and the drinks and the dresses until he finally finds Rhianna, who... looks amazing. Goddamn. "Yooo," he grins as he approaches her, a smirk on his lips. "Nice to see you now you're not, y'know, throwing shit at me. You scrub up well, I gotta say." There's smoother introductions, admittedly.

She already wanted to punch him. She didn't though. She decided to wait until they got to the snack table and she could dump the punch bowl on him. Kidding. Mostly. "You are the most dysfunctional date I've ever had," she sighed. "You can choose to be happy or insulted about that."

"Am I your first date?"

https://IconicUsername.com/characters/Rhianna-Bangoura

Rhianna snorted, rolling her eyes. "You wish. You're my seventh date. And if you're lucky, you'll be my fifth boyfriend. But I doubt I can stand you for that long," she remarked, "Now c'mon, I'm hungry," she said, approaching the snack table.

Adrian Schmidt - fourth year gryffindor student • mr steal-yo-girl wallet - “The biggest challenge after success is shutting up about it.” Message Me - 13:03, August 30, 2018 (UTC) The fact that six blokes before him have managed to stand her for like, more than a day, surprises him, but then the snack bar is mentioned and it distracts him from the thought of - well, a thought he forgets quickly. "Ooh, food. There's a shit ton. Bagsy the chocolate fountain."

"Brits and their slang," she sighed, shaking her head and daintily made her way over to the snack table in her heels. She glanced at him. "We're going to dance in exactly forty-five minutes. I don't care what you're doing in forty-five minutes, but you better be ready because I will drag you on that dance floor."

Yes, yes he is. Finding a particularly lovely-looking cupcake and plucking it from its casing, Adrian throws a smirk over at Rhi and her iron fist. "Am I your date or your pet?" he asks over the loud music, words muffled from the mouthful of crumbs.

https://IconicUsername.com/characters/Rhianna-Bangoura

"Both. If you're ready in forty-five minutes, who knows, you might fully upgrade to date," she said with a bit of a smirk, looking over the snacks. She plucked a cookie and nibbled on it, her appetite nonexistent.

"Thought you said you were hungry?"

"I am," she said. "Kind of." She sighed, clutching her arm. "No," she admitted. "Lost my appetite seven minutes ago. I just said that for you." This was geninue honesty, and she sounded kind of bashful admitting it.

When she says it, a small, genuine smile crosses Adrian's face, different to the sugar-crazed grin he'd previously been wearing. "Awww," he half-teases, scrunching his nose up. "You're too cute. And correct, because I am famished."

"You complimented me," she noted, like a bland statement even though she felt a little surprised. "You really are hungry."

"We need fuel, don't we, for when I whisk you across that dancefloor like something off of Dancing With the Stars. I do a mean foxtrot," he adds, though he doesn't really know what a foxtrot is. His dad liked to dance it, apparently.

"You mean for when I whisk you across the dancefloor, Schmidt. Try not to loose your balance when I dip you," she remarked. She glanced at the cookie still her hand and thought about offering it to Adrian because she knew she wasn't going to finish it.

She barely has a moment to protest before Adrian grabs her hand. She ditches the cookie and pretends to sigh in annoyance, a direct contrast with her grin. "Well then... I assume I have no choice?"

"You sure don't."

https://IconicUsername.com/characters/Rhianna-Bangoura

She gently rest her arms on her shoulders and breathed in. Adrian couldn't be that bad at dancing. Although she generally doubted his skills in general. "Well then, lead the way, Schmidt."

No, not at all. Is he going to let that stop him? Absolutely not. With a grin, he starts to move in what he hopes is rhythm, feeling his cheeks go red and thankful for the dim light so it hides his fluster. “You just - move in a square, right?”

https://IconicUsername.com/characters/Rhianna-Bangoura

 

{{{2}}}

If you told her several months ago she'd be dancing with the person that sat on her clothes, she'd probably sock you, and then shrug and say its possible. And wow, it was possible. The grin softened into a smile and she raised an eyebrow. "Yeah, a square," she agreed, refrained from giving a snarky comment for once.

"See?" he grins, actually pleased with himself that they haven't collided with anybody yet. "Easy as pie."

https://IconicUsername.com/characters/Rhianna-Bangoura

Rhianna decided to let him enjoy this "victory" for once, but made subtle corrections by steering them away from other couples when Adrian wasn't paying attention. "Pie isn't easy to make," she pointed out.

Wren and Jace

Wren Berkhart - Seventh Year Slytherin -🐍 Serpent 🐍 | Prefect | Potion Extraordinaire Message Me – 10:38, August 27, 2018 (UTC) Wren probably wouldn't have gone to the Ball had it not been for Jace asking him and the other having some obligation to attend as the school's Head Boy. As soon as he walked in, his eyes scanned the room for any sign of something that could at least make him tipsy - lord knows he'd need it if he had to dance. "Promise me you won't laugh when we dance," Wren said, turning to look at Jace, "Otherwise sleep with one eye open for your plants."

Jace Blackstone - The Environmentally friendly Slytherin 🐍 Head Boy -"I only sleep with people I love, which is why I have insomnia." Message Me – {{{2}}} As head boy, he was needed to go to this and, seeing as Wren was prefect, so did he. At least, being together, made this whole ordeal easier. Jace didn't have to stress about finding a partner. "You wouldn't dare," he retorted turning his head to make a face at him. "Not if you want your potions to stay intact....so I'm guessing I'm going to have to be the lead during the waltz?"
