((this is just a thread I am making early in time. If you want to reply to it then okay, just if you don't be watching out for my PM saying that the ball is finally begun.))
As you walk into the ball room there is a place full of pumpkins and things Halloweeny. There is a long table off to the side with punch and other little nibblets that students could snack on. The Halloween Ball is the first ball the student and faculty will have so far this year.
On the door to the ball room there is a post stating:
You must have a date or bring a friend. And you must be in costume.

Jake had had two options for the Halloween ball, not to go, or to go with some he didn’t like. He would have preferred to go alone but unfortunately that wasn’t an option, and so here he was with Scarlette Willis hanging off his arm. He’d come as a Prince (( www.telegraph.co.uk/arts/graphics/2004/09/29/film10.jpg)), again not his idea but Scarlette’s – she kept calling him Prince Charming, so he was hoping to ditch her when he went into the ball. Scarlette herself had come dressed as some kind of slave princess (( www.joke.co.uk/epages/jokecouk.storefront/EN/Product/3277)). All Jake could think was good about coming with Scarlette was at least she looked good. Amber hadn’t really got a date as such, instead she was going with one of her best friends, Tom. As neither of them had a date they’d decided to go as just friends and have a look around at the ball, even though everyone would be there as couples it didn’t mean they couldn’t look. Amber had come dressed as a Vampiress, a costume that wasn’t too revealing (( www.halloweenmart.com/wecs.php?store=halloweenmar&action=display&target=IN3003)). Cammie hadn’t got a date for the evening so her friend had set her up with a blind date. She only knew his name, Jacob Snape and that he was a 7th year like her. She was a bit dubious about the whole thing as she waited outside the hall, dressed in her cat woman costume ((http://www.allfancydress.com/fancy-dress-costume/prd12986/Deluxe-Catwoman™.aspx)) Eryn had only come to the ball to look after the kids, after all the Headmistress needed as much staff as possible at the event. She hadn’t made much effort with her costume, coming as some kind of Egyptian princess (( www.costumecraze.com/EGPT10.html?PHPSESSID=dea42a4d07cae307b4ab9ef26701e681)) which, with her natural black hair, looked quite authentic.

Tom had come as a warrior with Amber, it was a simple costume, and he didn't feel like going over the edge. Jacob however, met with Cammie outside the ballroom. She looked gorgeous, and he looked like a stupid knight. Maybe he could be called the Knight in Shining Arm.
Chole looked around the room, seeing as most of the students now were arriving, she decided she and Jackson would be the first to start dancing. She would have come as a priness, Cinderella if you will, but decided to sort of match outfits with Jackson.

As soon as they walked through the ballroom doors Jake headed straight for a chair, slumping down in it his turquoise eyes scanned the room. Scarlette tugged on his arm, “Come on Jake, why don’t we dance?”
“I don’t feel –…” Jake looked over at the dance floor to see Jackson Malfoy with Chole and had a quick change of heart. He felt a pang of… jealousy? – he passed it off at annoyance, when he saw the pair. “Sure, lets dance, if you want,” standing up he took Scarlette’s arm again, and swept her onto the dance floor.
Cammie looked up at Jacob and smiled, she would have kissed his cheek but he was wearing a knight helmet. “Hi,” she said, almost shyly, “Shall we go in then?” she slid her arm around his. “Led on brave knight,” she grinned.
“Hey Tom,” Amber grinned, “Nice costume.” She looked over his shoulder to see if anyone interesting, in the form of a Ravenclaw 7th year named Woody, had showed up yet. Outside the ballroom was getting pretty crowded now, “Lets go in I’m getting crushed,” she commented, taking Tom’s arm and dragging him into the ballroom.

Tom nodded, and complimented Amber on her outfit before leading her into the ballroom. Behind the helmet of his Jacob grinned, and compliented her as well on her outfit. He then lead her into the ballroom. After in the ballroom, Jacob asked Cammie she wanted to dance, and offered his hand to her.
Outside the ballroom, Woody came along, he had brought along a friend of his, Hannah Angler. He was dressed as Merlin, and she was dressed as Sleeping Beauty. they entered the ballroom together, than went their separate ways.
On the dance floor, Chole hadn't even noticed Jake and Scarlette yet. It hadn't even occured to her that he or anyone else had walked in. She was too busy using her veela charm to make sure Jackson was into her. She knew sooner or later Jake would have shown up, but she was about to get a swift kick in the ass when she finally saw who he was with. The two danced as if they were floating on air, and suddenly Chole looked away to see who had come into the room. Her gaze went straight to Jake, her heart sank. She wished she was dead, but nevertheless kept on dancing.
Chole was sure that Jake had seen her notice him, and quickly looked away, and pretended she didn't even give a rat's tail. She was here to have fun, and Jake with Scarlette wasn't going to ruin it.

Andy hadn't got a date to go with, and frankly she didn't care. Instead, she was going with Kendall Weasley, dressed as a headless butler. She wasn't going to do what all the other girls did and dress up as a slutty devil or whatever. The costume she had found was fun, complete with severed head on a platter. As she entered the ballroom, she found - to her embarrassment - that at least several people were wearing circular glasses, black wigs and the Gryffindor uniform, having drawn lightning scars on their foreheads. Glad that her costume covered her head so that she couldn't be seen to be blushing, Andy moved further in with Kendall. Dylan was a little apprehensive about the Halloween Ball, and hoped his costume was alright. He had chosen to come as Robin Hood, equipped with a bow slung over his shoulder. He had specifically chosen a costume that did not have tights because that would have been more terrifying than some of the more frightening costumes put together. On entering the ballroom, he spotted Odette dressed as a wench and headed over to her.

Kendall had come as a fairy queen, and she looked at Andy. "Are you okay in there?"
Upon arriving, Odette had just stood around watching the students, making sure they were on their best behavior, and no fighting would happen. She smiled, and watched her pupils dance. She noticed Professor Eryn Chambers, and waved over at her. Odette ran a hand through loose strands of her hair, and turned to see Professor Llewellyn coming her way. She smiled.

“Sure,” Cammie replied to Jacob, taking his hand and letting him lead her onto the dance floor. “Oh, actually wait a sec,” she said, grabbing her mask and taking it off her head, she dumped it on one of the tables by them and made sure her hair was okay, before turning around grinning to Jacob and taking his hand once again. “Sorry… couldn’t see a bloody thing with that on.”
Amber was distractedly looking around for Woody when finally she saw him, just entering the ballroom. She decided he looked incredibly cute in his Merlin costume. “Oh look, Woody’s over there… shall we ask him to come over?” she said to Tom, she beckoned him over smiling. Then, as Woody walked over, she turned her attention to the dance floor, she pointed out the couples, “See that girl everyone likes – well every guy likes… she’s such a slut,” she pointed out Scarlette to Tom.
Jake was still watching Chole and Jackson dance, even as more couples moved onto the dance floor. He was acting like he didn’t care but every now and again he was making sure that they weren’t making out or something, not that it even had anything to do with him, he decided he was just curious.
Eryn noticed Odette wave to her. She grinned and returned the gesture, however she noticed Dylan – the professor of Charms, going over to her. Eryn decided that they might want some alone time. Not minding the slightest she lent against the wall, and watched over the students.

Dylan returned the smile Odette gave him and shifted the bow on his shoulder into a more comfortable position. "Hello... you look, er, rather nice," he complimented.
"Are you okay in there?"
Andy gave a small laugh, grinning, though nobody could see her face. "Yeah, I'm good... I can just about see where I'm going," she said, stumbling over the leg of a chair. That was the thing - she could see straight in front of her, and above her... but anywhere else, and she was practically blind.

Kendall laughed,"Maybe you should make a hole somewhere so you can see where you're going." Woody smiled when he got over to Amber's side. "You're looking beautiful tonight Amber." Woody greeted her, and he nodded at Tom who nodded back.
Chole, just to see what Jake would do, moved closer to Jackson to the point that their bodies were literally pressed against one another, and hard too. Her head rested on his chest as they continued to dance.
Odette's smile became wider,"Thank you Sir Hood. You look handsome yourself." She then looked over at Eryn, and gave her a look that said she didn't have to go anywhere.

Eryn grinned back to Odette, picked up three glasses of punch and walked over. She handed the other teachers a glass each and said, “So, how is everyone? Nice costumes by the way…”
Jake watched Chole and Jackson press against each other, hard. Clenching his jaw he decided to see what her reaction to his next move would be. He slide his arms around her waist, and pulled her close to him, almost smashing his lips against hers. Scarlette, taking the initiative pushed her tongue into her dates mouth and threw her arms around his shoulders.
"You're looking beautiful tonight Amber."
Amber felt a blush creep up her neck, she was suddenly very glad for the dim lighting of the hall. “Thanks,” she said, surprised that her voice was normal, “You to – well not beautiful… you look handsome,” she said feeling her cheeks go a darker shade of red.
Outside the castle a certain Death Eater was taking advantage of the ball. Of course the students and faculty would be in the ballroom, leaving the rest of the castle almost inviting Nathan Sanders in. However, he wasn’t just there for the fun of it he had orders…

Odette took the glass from Eryn with a smile,"Thank you Eryn. You have a nice costume yourself."
Chole could have thrown up at the sight of Scarlette sharing saliva with Jake, and had to turn her head away from them. She gagged a bit, then looked up at Jackson. This time Chole would take things to the extreme as she moved Jackson's hand so it was up in the skirt of her costume, right near the rim of her knickers. She kissed Jackson deeply, adding tongue as she went along. She ended up back herself up into a wall, bring Jackson along with her. His hand under her skirt finding places to caress while under there. This made Chole shudder with a little pleasure.
Woody smiled at Amber's blush. "Would you care to dance, milady?" He offered her his hand with a wider smile.
Meg Vaun decided she'd come to the ball, but she'd have to sneak in since she didn't have a friend to come with nor a date. She was dressed as a playboy bunny.

"Maybe you should make a hole somewhere so you can see where you're going."
"Well, the collar's supposed to be see-through, but it's not entirely working, so I think I might," said Andy, placing the platter with her fake head on it on a nearby table. She then proceeded to dig around for her wand and brought it up inside her costume, level with her eyes. "Okay... hope this works." She made the see-through part a little bigger, peering through every now and then to check if it was in the right place, until finally she could see properly. "Done! That's better." Her wand was placed back in her pocket and she picked up the head platter again, moving over to the drinks table. "Oh... damnit! I can't drink anything... Hold this for me?" Shoving the platter into Kendall's hands, Andy opened the shirt button nearest her mouth, picked up a glass of butterbeer and took a sip of it that way. "Thanks," she said gratefully to Kendall, and took the head back, holding her drink in her other hand.
"Thank you Sir Hood. You look handsome yourself."
"Thank you," Dylan replied, his cheeks turning a light shade of pink. He gave a smile to Eryn as she handed him a glass of punch. "Thanks."
“So, how is everyone? Nice costumes by the way…”
"And yours," he said, taking a sip of the drink he had just aquired.

Eryn smiled to Odette, “Cheers – it only cost a fiver… but shhh,” she grinned. She sipped her punch and watched the students, however she was the first to spot two 7th years – Chole Goyle and Jackson Malfoy taking things a little too far over the other side of the ballroom. Drawing Dylan and Odette’s attention to it she said, “So it begins…”
Jake looked over at Chole, to see she wasn’t even there anymore, in fact… he dropped Scarlette on the floor – she’d been clinging on to him and so fell over, and marched up to them. Grabbing Jackson’s collar her yanked him away from Chol, “Hey! Get away from her, fuck-rag,” he insulted Jackson.
Amber grinned to Woody, “Uh sure…” she smiled, she knew Tom wouldn’t mind as she walked on to the dance floor with Woody. She place a hand on his shoulder and began to dance with him, she wasn’t dancing that badly either. Which was surprising seeing as her legs had turned to jelly.
“So, where did you learn to dance so well?” Cammie questioned her partner, “And how come you ended up with me instead of some hot Slytherin ‘babe’,” she grinned, “Sorry, sounds like 20 questions.”
Nathan knew almost all of the secret ways into the castle, coming out of the statue behind the one eyed witch he looked around - as he suspected the corridor was empty. Cautious as ever he made his was down to the ball room entrance, it was still packed with students, and he decided it would be a little… well plain to just walk in. An idea coming to him, Nathan smiled to himself and made his way up to North Tower.
