The Winter Ball room 1

"Then game drama is what they'll get! Hufflepuff's gonna win all of the cups this year!" With her free hand, Delfina did her best to lift as much of the gown's hem off of the floor as possible.
Turning to Lionheart to give a small nod, she said to the librarian, "Excuse us, Sir; we have some dresses to find."
She then began to shuffle off towards the doors.

Freya had to laugh quite a bit at Delfina’s way of walking, and could only follow slowly after waving at the professor. Looking around there was plenty of other fun to; why had she ever doubted of she should go to this?!

"Why thank you Ms Williams~" Lionheart curtsied. Something that no one wanted to see. Ever. "And but of course~ Good luck finding them~"

------

The corridors were not as empty as Ares had hoped. But that didn't change the fact that his death glares were scaring the shit out of everyone who dared meet his eyes while the two walked.

------

Argos fell into a pit. It was inevitable.

------

Kevin sighed, spotting Healer Tarrot entering the Great Hall looking excited. He smiled and greeted the master he was learning from before leaving the Winter Ball with slumped shoulders.

They had to trudge nearly across the entire room to reach the doors, so Delfina thought it was a good plan; she could scope out the crowd as she passed by and if she couldn't spot her dress then she would already be at the exit and able to look in the corridors. The less time she spent in these shoes, the better. Delfina had forgotten what Freya had been wearing earlier before the switch, so it would be up to the Gryffindor to spot her own missing gown out of the crowd.

Marik walked back into the castle awkwardly, nearly tripping in the heels he was wearing. He should probably return the dress he was wearing (it sort of hung on him in an awkward way), but who was wearing his red dress robes?

Still hiding behind the drapery Claudia did her best to calm down. Why wasn’t this spell wearing off?! She’d most likely have to send her dress off to get to get washed, since it was quite likely that a non-pureblood had worn it now. She shuddered at the thought…

~*~*~*~

Still chuckling Freya followed Delfina out in the hallway, where she suddenly spotted her own dress walking around… Then she couldn’t help but to open her mouth
“Nice dress you’ve got there!”

Delfina stopped to look back at Freya, then to the person she was talking to. She nearly snorted upon seeing the taller man in a dress.

As Kevin left the Great Hall, he briefly noted a trio of two Gryffindors and a Hufflepuff. Looking up at Marik for a moment, even he couldn't stop a chuckle and a mutter of, "Good luck Mr Brown." before leaving them alone. He was needed in the infirmary now...

------

Artemis had wandered off by herself to a table by herself, she really wasn't in a festive mood and had somehow lost her blind cousin...whoops.

Marik did a double take, "W-Williams!" He blushed and looked aside, "I-I see you've g-got my dress robes... U-Um... W-W-We should switch clothes...somehow..." The only thing that wasn't bad about this situation was that Sam didn't see him like this. How embarrassing would it be for your girlfriend to see you in a dress?!

Daraing to peek out Claudia could still see some people out there and... Him! No, she couldn't let him see her! This was worse than being so rude as to not say good-bye!
Quickly she pulled back the drapery in front of her, holding it firmly in place so that no one could pull it away and reveal her!

~*~*~*~

Freya still couldn't stop grinning
"Yeah, guess you want it back. I don't know any spell for it though, so the best I can think up is finding an empty classroom and hide behind the desk."

Bianka sighed as she kept walking with Ares , what an odd event this had turned out to be.

Looking at the Gryffindors, Delfina was glad that she's switched with another girl. She could only hope that her dress hadn't been ruined by the new wearer. Perhaps Hogwarts had a lost-and-found area, but Delfina couldn't leave the gown there until she changed into another set of clothes.

Ares wondered if he should kill Lionheart or Gleek. Then decided when (and if he could), he'd get rid of the Librarian first before trying to deal with his brother's girlfriend.

------

As for Kevin, he found the infirmary to be cold and dark. Sighing, he lit up a few candles and walked around, trying to look occupied to anyone passing by (not that there'd be anyone at this hour).

Daring herself to peekout again Claudia Finally spotted the long blue dress, her own one! Fianlly! Only...how would she get it back? She couldn't leave her hiding-place looking like this!
Well, she was a Ravenclaw, and she did have her want, that had not left her at the switch! So it was a good time to star to think! A switching-spell, they must have mentioned this sometime! Although this one was a big... Maybe it was just a new version of...! She had to try.
getting her wand into her hand Claudia mumbled a counter-spell they had been mentioned in class not a month ago (which had most likly inspired the prankster to this idea). She only had to switch back these two dresses, so it wasn't that much, she could do it!

It seemed like they would never reach the dungeons , or wherever they where heading to in the first place. She guessed this is what Dimitri had meant by pranks , Ares did not look amused at all at the turn of events.

The overly-loose gown Delfina had spent the last half hour trying to keep up was suddenly form-fitting. And her own dress, too!
She threw her hands in the air, no longer needing them to hold her outfit together, "Yes!!"

Claudia let out a sigh of relief as the spell seemed to work and she then stood there in her own dress. Getting out from behind the drapery she didn't think twice about helping all the other students that were still on others' clothes; Instead she hurried off towards the infirmary, the only thing in her mind was that she had to apologise for her behaviour to Kevin!

Ares was lost, but he wasn't about to admit it!

------

Kevin paced around the infirmary, his mind on anything but what he should have been doing. What a terrible way for the evening to have ended.

------

The librarian glided here and there, scaring several other students.

After a while of wandering Bianka wondered if he DID know where he was heading to , though by the look on his face it was obvious he didn't.

"....Ares..where are we going?" she muttered out. The younger Slytherin just wanted to sleeeeeeeeppppp.

Marik turned red, but he nodded anyways: there wasn't much either of them could do about the situation. "S-Sounds like a plan..."

approaching the infirmary Claudia grew a bit unsure, but what else could she do? This boy always made her nervous anyway...
So before she could let herself hesitate she knocked on the door and then slowly pushed it open like she always did...

~*~*~*~*~

Freya nodded and headed off to where she was sure that some unlocked classroms would provide somethign to hide behind
"As long as you don't peek I promise I won't pick your eyes out."

Kevin looked at the door and a smile showed itself when he saw who had walked in, "Good evening, miss."

------

"Ta the common room, o' course." He scowled though, this was the right way: his memory was never wrong.

"ah...huh..." the girl yawned following him.

slowly stepping in Claudia could only bring herself to look at his shoes, before closing her eyes
"Good evening. I... I have to apologise, Mister. My behavior earlier was inexcusable, and I do pray that you will find it in you to forgive me for such rude behaviour."

Marik covered his eyes for good measure, "R-Right." Now all he had to do was wait for the girl to hand him his dress robes...right? He focused on getting out of the dress he was in with some difficulty.
