Feliciano stood in the hall, looking around. It looked nice, but the normal happy man had been feeling very tired lately. He sat down and stared around as the students laughed and danced, whilst he picked at his food. He yawned tiredly and wished he could go back to his room and work on his lessons. He was bored at the moment, something that was new. He normally loved to dance, but he just felt tired. His life had been wearing him down lately, but it was just a phase and he knew he'd be back to normal with a good nights sleep and a new challenge to tackle.

[[OOC: Please don't post with Feli, I only posted as him to open up the ball. ]]

Feliciano's Suit:

Danielle was so excited. And she normally wasn't. She was standing in front of the mirror, looking at her hair, smoothing out her dress, and wondering if she was ready to go now. She took a breath and then turned around, happy that the heels on her shoes were pretty steady. She walked towards the exit of the common room and then walked down the stairs to the dining hall.

When she reached it, she had to smile widely. The hall was so beautiful and Christmas-y. She felt like a six year old child, wanting to take a leap and jump onto the lamps, swinging around, but chose not to. She saw the table with food and realized just how hungry she actually was. She walked over to it and wondered what to take. Something that wasn't greasy; she really didn't want to spill on her dress. She was about to take some food when she heard a known and horrible sound. She closed her eyes annoyed, and then turned around.

Another one of the demonic ghosts walked towards her and saw that she looked at him. He walked over to her, reaching out, but she ignored him and walked straight through him. She hated those foolish demons with a passion. She walked away from the food table and then turned to a chair, walking to sit down, hoping people she knew would join her.

(OOC: Dani's dress: )

Amber walked in the ball bored. She was here only because she had to be. She would much rather be anywhere else. However she was here looking stunning and being perfectly polite. She had an appearance to keep up after all.

Amber's dress

Eshe sighed as she walked to the ball she would rather be somewhere else but she was sure to keep away from everyone she sat down in a dark corner and watched everyone.

Eshe wished her sisters were here but she knew they'd come some day she sighed and looked at her dress and smiled.

Eshe's Dress:

Elle walked into the ball. She had stayed for Christmas and was happy to do something normal. She was looking forward to the ball. It would be full of music which was still new to her. Well all of it was new to her. She smiled at her dress. She had made it, using magic so she liked it. She had gotten the idea from a book.

She walked in and went to a corner listening to what was music.

Her Dress

Moira walked to the ball, she loved parties but she hated dancing she noticed the music was lovely she smiled and walked inside the place was beautiful she swayed slightly goths music but than she walked toward a table and she smiled and sat down.

Moira wished she had someone to spend Christimas with but she figured she was just supposed to love being singel for as long as she could, Moira sighed a watched everyone.

Moira's Dress:

Giselle was excited for the ball. Marianne had gotten and owl that they were to stay seeing as their parents were on business. The ball was basically the highlight of their Christmas. Looking at the mirror Giselle did one final twirl before leaving her dorm to the Ball.

She heard the music before she got there and when she saw the decorations she was in awe.

Aurore had spent hours working on her hair until it was perfect. She'd washed it, dried it, applied several colour-enhancing gels to it, highlighted it, and worked on it until it was perfectly soft. After all that, she'd spent quite some time fixing it into the hairstyle it was currently in, and she admired her hair from every angle. It captured the light of the candles and made it shine, the darker highlights adding to the light tone of her hair. She smirked at how beautiful it looked, proud of her handi-work.

She slid the dress up her body and zipped it up at the back, her silver heels on her feet. She did a twirl in the mirror and decided the dress her mother had sent her was perfectly perfect. She strode out of the dorm, down to the common room, then through the busy halls to the ball. Everything looked breath-taking. Aurore looked around, and saw her cousin - Giselle. She made her way over to her. "You look beautiful," commented Aurore, only ever nice to her cousins.

Aurore's Hair:


Aurore's Shoes & Dress:

Hearing someone talking to her Giselle turned around. "And you look gorgeous as usual," she replied smiling at her. Honestly Aurore looked stunning like everyone else in the room but her hair was very intricate and by the looks of it, soft. "Where'd you get the idea for your hair?" If her cousin was fancy then most likely her sister was too. Sel didn't really do much besides pin her hair back and do her makeup a bit fancier than usual.

Marianne glanced at the mirror putting the finishing touches on her hair. Her parents had sent a owl saying they were staying at school for Christmas. When she found out about the news she wouldn't really shut up about it. To make it up to the girls their mother got them dresses but they were totally different. Hers was long and dark while Sel's was short and light. Her makeup was done perfectly and her dress was on with her jewels on.

Entering the room she heard the music that was being played and saw her family chatting. Walking up to them Marianne greeted them. "Hey there girlies. You both look great."

Luc knew the ball had already gotten started, but didn't feel an early presence on his part was really needed. He could easily come later without anyone minding too much. He had gotten into his outfit, and made his way down the corridors, little Nap trailing behind him as he made his way to the wonderfully decorated Dining Hall. He had hoped for a nice relaxed sort of ball and as he walked in that what it seemed to be.

He had gone to the back tables, taking a seat quietly, overlooking everyone else.

[[OOC: Luc's outfit:]]

Moira sighed and noticed all the students were having fun, Moira smiled and looked around she noticed the headmaster had come and she sighed she seemed to be one of the only professors there.

Moira walked over to a table and sat down she wondered how many students total there was in the ball, she sighed and looked at the ground.

Alianna had decided she better make a appearance at the dance she had just put on a long Purple Dress and heels and she was off to the hall. Walking into the hall she noticed a lot of students and the headmaster and one teacher.

Walking into the hall she choose to sit with the headmaster, she hadn't really talked to him since that day in his office and she wanted to see how he was doing.

She grabbed a drink and walked over to the Headmaster and sat down, she glanced over at him and smiled,

"Hello, Headmaster. Are you having a good night?" Alianna asked more so to do with his person than enjoying the dance.

Luca was excited to go to the ball simply because he might get the chance to see Jackie there, and he was sure she'd look stunning in a dress. He also liked her as his new friend, as she didn't seem to have noticed his strangeness. He knew that if he trusted her, he'd tell her what he was and he only hoped that his new-found friend wouldn't abandon him. That would be a rather sad thing to happen. Luca pulled his jacket on and sighed at the tail on the back of it. There was nothing he could do, and he was just grateful that his adoptive parents had put together what little money they had to buy him a decent suit.

Luca looked around as he arrived and saw that lots of the students were already there. To his disappointment, Jackie wasn't there. He sighed but looked around for someone else to talk too. There was a Renard standing in a corner, with a very nice dress, so he went over and approached her. "Hello, want some company? Im Luca, Luca Romano," he stuck his hand out.

Luca's Suit:

Athena looked into the mirror, wondering what it was that was moving out there. Something was at dissarray, but it wasn't within this country's borders. She tilted her head to the side. It was far away, she couldn't see white. She sighed and turned to her own mirror, watching her reflection.

Balls really wasn't her thing. However, as a teacher, she held obligations high, and she believed she'd live through the night as long as she had someone interesting to talk to. Maybe Jazmina would be there?

She walked out of her office and to the dining hall. She smiled as she reached it, surprised at the beautiful decoration. She looked to see if she could see any teachers, and her eyes landed on two in the back. A woman she didn't know, and Luc. She didn't want to talk to him at the moment, her mind would just race. She needed to relax, so she walked over to another table where a woman was sitting. She sat down.

"Hello there, I'm Athena Gaunt, educator in Dueling and Flying," she said happily, reaching out her hand for the woman to shake.
