Daniel grinned. "That's really cute," he said with a smile, before realizing in a panic she could take that to mean- "Not that you weren't cute before! You were! I mean, oh," he sighed. "Ah, the party is a week after term ends?"

spaceGypsy flushed a bit when he said the blonde was cute. She didn't do blonde often, at least not on purpose. She usually did bright obnoxious colors, to stand out. But, she guessed it wasn't bad to be a little more... ordinary, at least sometimes. Her eyes flashed that peach color again before returning to the golden brown, and her hand went to her mouth."Uh, okay. But, you know, I do think that, before you take me, we should know each other's names. I'm Gypsy Lovette,"she said, extending a hand for him to shake. Maybe that was a bit odd, but she sort of felt like they were making a business deal. It wasn't like it was a real date, after all. He'd asked her because he needed a girl to go with him, simple as that. But, he did say she was cute... she didn't think any guy had ever actually said that before. She knew she was, of course, and she was convinced that all the boys knew it, too, but none of them had ever said it. She made a note to pick out the absolute cutest dress she could find, and the cutest heels, and to make sure that they both looked amazing with blonde hair and those gold-colored eyes. Far from ordinary, she'd be exotic. Whatever it took, he was going to think she looked amazing. She didn't know why it mattered so much, but it did.

Daniel went scarlet. Not as much as the metamorph would have been able to, but he made an impressive attempt. "Oh Merlin," he said, clearly mortified as he reached out to shake her hand. "I'm Daniel Kiremono. Thanks for helping me out," he said gratefully.

spaceGypsy smiled as he shook her hand, chuckling at how completely horrified he looked upon her pointing out that they didn't know each other's names."Nice to meet you. And no problem. It's not every day a cute guy asks a girl to go with him to a party... even if it is just as a favor,"she informed him, and as she pulled her hand back, she tossed her hair again, letting it turn pink again as it fell. She turned away then and walked off, thinking now was a great time to make a dramatic exit. No idea why she wanted to, but it seemed like an excellent moment for one. She skipped off, an amused grin on her lips. Today had turned out better than expected... even if she hadn't found the bloody special room.

Daniel watched the girl go, then shook his head sharply and headed off to bed. Clearly, he needed some sleep if he was going to stop making an idiot out of himself.

Luke stepped out of the common room, feeling a bit awkward to be back in his robes from school. He'd spent the last two years practically enjoying the fact that he wasn't around other Gryffindors save for being in class, and well, he felt odd again, like he had when the Sorting Hat first placed him in the house of lions. He glanced around the corridor, refamiliarizing himself with the area before starting off to classes. He wasn't exactly in a big hurry, he was leaving early, but that was mostly to avoid his dormmates. He still felt awkward around them, especially since Tevye left to go join quidditch. Which to him was stupid, but that was just him.
Pushing out of his mind the idea that his only male crush had left the school, he straightened his tie one more tie and made a disgusted face at it. Now he felt like a ruddy tomato. Red hair plus red robes and tie really didn't help his pale complexion. Maybe he had subconsciously burned his robes to avoid wearing red again. Maybe not. Deciding to ignore it, he made his way down the corridor, heading to the Great Hall to get food before the rest of the school got up.

"Okay, then we can continue then," Ronna said when there were no questions asked by the first years in the antechamber and she led the way up the staircases, her heels clicking lightly on the stone occasionally as she reached the seventh floor. Turning around once she reached the portrait of the Fat Lady, Ronna said, "Everyone has stayed caught up? Great."
She nodded to the portrait and said, "And this is the entrance to the Gryffindor Common Room..." Ronna paused when the portrait asked, "Password?" Veronica smiled and answered casually, "Pro tua somnium, ma'am." The Fat Lady smiled and swung open.
Ronna paused as she glanced at the open hole provided by the portrait, "As you can tell you will need a password to enter. The password is pro tua somnium, if you can't remember the password you will be locked out of the common room until someone else comes along, usually the wait shouldn't be that horrible. Please don't write down the password somewhere where it can be easily lost or read by others. That would be a security issue which would make me unhappy to have to deal with to say the least."
"In case you've missed the password the password currently is pro tua somnium: roughly it translates to for your sleep if any of you are half way familiar with Latin or one of the Latin based languages-maybe that'll help you remember it," She said with a shrug. "Now, please free to enter the common room. I will explain some basic quirks of the common room there and be more than happy to answer any questions any of you may have thought of coming up here."
Letting the first years file in first, Ronna followed shutting the portrait behind her.
Yeah, it's pretty clear, I ain't no size two But I can shake it, shake it Like I'm supposed to do
❁❀✿Tanya trekked on with her small train of first years leading them up the staircase and down this corridor where the Fat Lady was. "Almost there! This corridor leads directly to Gryffindor Tower which is guarded by the portrait of the Fat Lady. You will need a password to get into the tower and if you do not have one you will sit out here until someone else comes along and opens it. So please, don't forget the password and if you have to write it down, don't lose it or give it to someone else in another house. This goes against a bunch of rules and you will get punished." She said this sternly looking at each one to make sure they understood before giving another grin and leading them up to the portrait of the lady dressed in pink. The woman smiled and calmly asked, "Password?" before she responded, "Pro tua somnium." The pink lady grinned and her portrait opened up to reveal the opening to the common room. She moved off to the side to allow the first years to go inside first. "Come along, I've got a few more things to say before you all can go off to bed!"

spaceEcho stood outside the Fat Lady's portrait, wishing somewhat that he'd decided to stay a little ways down the corridor and not quite so close to the woman. She was a boisterous one, and apparently thought that he was 'the sweetest thing,' for some reason. He didn't quite know why, but she wasn't exactly helping his nerves. Nerves, he might add, that he should not even have right now! This wasn't even the first ball he'd attended with Tanya! Of course, the last one, they hadn't gone as dates, and hadn't been even remotely close to a couple, but that was beside the point! He'd done this before! Sort of... okay, so he hadn't met her outside her Common Room to escort her like a proper date last time. But, again, he hadn't been a proper date last time. He sighed, running a hand through his hair and thinking she should probably come out, now, so he didn't have to keep standing here being nervous about things he had absolutely no reason to be nervous about. He tried to shut out the sound of the Fat Lady's voice, offering a small nod every now and again while she tittered on. She was only making him feel more awkward, for Merlin's sake. The Ravenclaw counted himself fortunate that he actually knew how to dance... and had actually danced with her before, actually. So no worries about awkwardness there, right? Although, as soon as he thought it, he figured that it was probably just wishful thinking. He could make pretty much anything awkward.

❁❀✿Tanya had spent more time getting ready for this ball than she had for anything in her entire life ever. And yes, this included studying, practicing for Qudditch, reading, and even bothering Echo. She spent most of the last few hours curling, then straightening it, then arranging it to the decorative mass that it was now, putting on a dress that she was sure shouldn't ever be this heavy, doing her makeup using helpful charms given to her by Gypsy and even Ronna (who she saw brief glimpses of and was looking smokin) then putting on heels that made the small heels in her closet feel like pygmy puffs. But even after the stress and the trouble that she put in to all of this, the very fact that she was being taken down to the Ball by her boyfriend was enough to make her forgive and forget while also giggling like a five year old on Christmas. The fifteen year old had to continually remind herself of her age every time it happened which both startled and worried the younger years about her sanity. But that was another thing for another time. At this exact time, Tanya was smoothing down her already smooth dress and was once again admiring the twinkling design of the sequins against the dark blue fabric exceedingly glad she hadn't actually gotten glitter because she was sure she would've been so done by the time she even got the garment on. It almost reminded her of the painting "Starry Night" which was mainly why she had purchased it from Hogsmeade all those weeks ago when they had announced that the ball was happening. Which again lead to the fact that she had someone waiting on her to actually take her to the ball! With another encouraging shake of her person, Tanya walked through the desperate and somewhat clingy throngs of people to get to the entrance and took one last calming breath before opening the doorway to hear the ending of another wondrous (and long-winded) tale from the Fat Lady, and then it seemed that all the sound melted away as she took in the sight Echo made before her. She would gladly admit to appreciating her friend in his uniform and also grudgingly admit that she found him rumpled adorable when he was in his casual "zombie killing" hoodie, but right now, he was something entirely different. And she most definitely liked it. She let out a small puff of awe before walking over to him with a wide happy grin. "Well, you certainly clean up well." Tanya told him teasingly while her eyes were still taking it all in. Hot damn, where had he been hiding this?!

spaceWhen the portrait swung open and Tanya stepped out, his eyes went as wide as a House-Elf's, and he swore his eyebrows were attempting to defy gravity. Either that or merge with his hairline. His mouth, on the other hand, fell open, ever so slightly. After perhaps a second too long, he snapped it shut, giving his head a light shake, swallowing hard. Damn. She looked... well, not that she didn't always look good, hell, the girl probably looked good when she rolled out of bed in the morning (and he was not trying to picture that at all). But, this was something else. His cheeks pinkened as he realized she'd spoken."Speak for yourself,"he said finally, voice faint. Another shake of his head, and then he offered her his arm, thinking he should at least make an effort to not look like a bumbling idiot."So, uh, ball?"he asked, and then he wanted to slap himself. Bloody brilliant. Well, at least if she made fun of him, he could give her some cheesy line about being stunned by her beauty or something. Which'd probably just lead to her teasing him more, but it wasn't like it was a lie or anything.

❁❀✿Tanya was amused and strangely satisfied with the reaction she produced from Echo. It seemed all those hours of pain and preparation actually paid off! But she still couldn't do something like this everyday, hell no. The little amount of care that she showed most mornings was usually all she could muster before she had breakfast that day, so this was literally his only chance to see her this dolled up outside of important functions (such as a Ball) or weddings. Which struck her as odd that she was already planning on taking him to her parent's wedding but it mostly struck her odd that she didn't think it was odd at all. Huh. She chuckled when he finally managed to find himself and his words and grinned impishly as she took his arm (such a little gentleman, how could her soon-to-be-step-father hate a guy like this?!) trying not too laugh too hard at his awkwardness. "Nah, I just felt like dressing extra special for dinner tonight." Tanya told him with her smile still going strong. She swore that by the end of the night, if she could combine all her smiles into energy it could power all of London. On Christmas.

David couldn't remember the last time he had been up in the seventh floor corridor-beyond stopping by the room of requirement. He didn't take divinition and if he had to name a specific house that would be likely to hex him-he'd look to the Gryffindors. They had the temper for it, even though, he was fairly sure he was universally disliked-or practically universally. There were some exceptions-like Leo, presumably. And Leo was why he stood by the fat lady's portrait who had said 'Aw you aren't the first Ravenclaw boy to come pick up one of my fine ladies. Don't you look so adorable too...'
David had glared at the portrait and told her to shut up and when she chuckled about him being in a bad temper because he was so nervous and that he should just be a little more 'courageous' somewhere he got around to telling her she was obnoxious and should go on a diet. The fat lady had yet to speak to him after that as he tapped his fingers on the blue box with the gift tag with Leo's name on it hoping she would come down soon. The less Gryffindors or others glaring at him-and the Fat Lady-the happier he would be.

Leonette had spent what seemed like hours making her hair look nice and her appearance flawless. Her dress despite being red or rather crimson was in her mind perfect, it even went with the bracelet she was given at the start of the year. Fiddling with the bow in her hair, Leonette finally deemed herself ready. Sliding her feet into the heels she hoped not to trip up in, she grabbed the gift for David and reminded herself that she also had something for Theo. That could wait through until later.
Walking into the common room Leonette walked to the exit and out the fat lady's portrait. She wasn't at all surprised that David was waiting for her, she certainly picked a gentleman. "Hello David," she said with a smile."You look nice as always." There was never a time he didn't dress formally. However she could see the subtle changes. Walking over to him she leaned over and kissed him, her heels making her the prefect height to do so. "Happy Christmas and happy birthday." she said holding out the gift she had for him. Oh she hoped he liked it, she really hoped he'd like it!
He looked up when the portrait opened and Leo came out. He smiled-red had always been one of his favorite colors on her. And despite the Avery Family's psychotic dislike of the color he liked it. Or at least on certain people. Most brunettes, like Leo, looked good in red. The red complemented them-on others, say a blonde or redhead-it seemed more of the dress wearing the person. And he realized he spent way too much time over analyzing physical traits-and blamed it on the fact his father would do so constantly, even with his wife. Honestly, David was fairly sure Dr. League didn't even realize it and he worded it in a way that sounded polite-and well, he was right about his fashion analyzing. Maybe it was because the man liked art so much and saw his surgical profession as an art more so than a science-he just so happened to know the science as well and took it seriously to preserve the art.
David shook his head with a slight smile when she said he looked nice 'as always', "I don't know you haven't seen me at all times of the day, yet. I could look dreadful when I sleep for example. Actually, pretty sure my dormmates actually prefer me then and find me more likable-so that might not be true. But still..." He was still smiling as Leo kissed him. When she held out the fit to him and wished him a happy Christmas and Birthday he smiled and said, "Ah, yes, another year older. Remind to make sure whenever I have kids to be sure the kid has a birthday not on a major holiday. And, thank-you," He added opening the gift box she handed him and smiled at the items including the hot chocolate-at least that was one thing he could make in the kitchen, which was probably good because he preferred it to tea anyways-and he was British, he drank a lot of tea.
"Opal," He said looking at the necklace she had given, "Supposed to help with headaches-fairly fitting for a Ravenclaw though if you get into stone meanings, too..." He paused and chuckled as he put the necklace on, loosened his tie, dropped it under his shirt and then tightened his tie again before holding out Leo's present, "Or was it just a coincidence in choice? No, I like it. Anyways, mind you I did budget myself because I knew you wouldn't accept it otherwise which made picking a gift that much harder. And I've always said I suck at presents. At least it is on time this year? Anyways, I think it was Wendy who was the most helpful with suggestions-I assume she was tired of hearing me ask Cathy. Catie, I love her, but my sister isn't always the most practical or realistic about the whole thing called a 'reasonable' price on a gift."
He smiled and added, "Oh and the box is a jewelry box, but it is the right size for a quill set too. Happy Christmas." Then he added kissing her on the cheek, "Though, you know what the best part of this time of year is? I can see you in my favorite color on you and we can say you are merely supporting Saint Nicholas and not Godric Gryffindor."
