Max grinned, seeing Annie's blush seeping from under her mask. He watched Sam, and groaned. "The guy keeps stealing my moves!" he chuckled. He watched in disbelief as Sam asked Bella to dance, exactly how Max was going to do it. "Jeez. Now I feel inferior. I feel like I would be copying," he groaned, turning to Annie. "Do you want to dance?" he said, giving her a winning grin, hoping it was enough, seeing as his theatrics were stolen by his mate!

Annie chuckled, listening to Max comment when ever Sam said something. She smiled when Max asked her to dance, "of course I do" she answered, "and don't worry about your moves being stolen by Sam, I'm sure you do them better then he does" she told him, winking at Sam before heading over to the floor with Max.

[Max Randolf]

"Of course! I invented them!" Max laughed. He gave Sam a grin, as he led Annie out onto the dance floor, swinging her around a little, before pulling her close to him, smiling down at her, as he spun them around the floor. "I'm happy I finally came to my senses," he murmured. "I couldn't imagine this Ball without you," he admitted, gazing into her eyes, their bright blue vibrantly visible behind her mask.

Annie smiled as he swung her around the dance floor, "I'm happy too" she replied, she couldn't happy but agree with him, she couldn't imagine the ball without him either, she couldn't imagine going with anyone other than him. She looked in to his deep green eyes, one of the many bits of him that she loved.

Sam laughed. "If you insist. But, your face is all covered up, where as your cleavage is not," he shrugged. "Actually, I should probably make sure it is my fiancee under that mask." He chuckled, pushing her mask up a little to see her face. "Yep, definately my Isabella," he said, before pushing his own mask up, and kissing her properly. "Okay. I'll pay more attention to your face." He shrugged, grinning as he looked up to see Max shaking his head. At the mention of music, he looked out to the dancefloor, where there were already a few couples dancing, one, he noted with a grin, was Ceallach and a Gryffindor in his year, looking very cosy. Then he grinned again, pushing his mask down again. "May I have this dance?" he asked holding out his hand, his other one behind his back as he bowed a bit, like they do in the movies!

Bella giggled happily, "I know. I blame Annie though, she found the dress and told me to buy it." She looked at him, an eyebrow raised until she realised he couldn't see it. "Well I'm glad you know what your Isabella looks like. Otherwise we could be in trouble," she said tapping his nose before he kissed her. Yup the masks didn't prevent them for kissing which was a good point. "Thank you babe." Following Sam's gaze she smirked seeing Ceal with a Gryffindor in the year above. Didn't take her long. She giggled again and pushed her mask down before curtseying, putting her hand in hers. "You may my love," she said.

Max chuckled, pulling her close as they continued to twirl around the dance floor. He loved how she felt in his arms. She just seemed to fit. He leant down and pressed his lips to hers, slowing down a little, just to enjoy being with her.

Sam smiled as Bella placed her hand in his, accepting his invitation to dance. He led her over to the dance floor. He twirled her around the floor a couple times, before stopping, pulling her to him tight, pushing her mask back again, and kissing her, in a way he probably shouldn't, what with all the teachers present. Then he pulled his head away, smiling at her. "I love you," he said, swaying her on the spot in time with the gentle melody of the music.

Annie smiled up at Max, as they kept dancing. She loved the feeling of being in his arms. She slowed down a little and kissed him back softly. She looked just being there with him.

"Where did you learn to dance?" Bella asked as she was twirled around the floor. She looked at him curiuously as he stopped and sighed contentedly as she was pulled tightly and kissed passionately. D*mn she loved him, although the kiss maynot have been the best thing with teachers around. "Love you too," she replied truthfully, resting her hands on his shoulders. The music was quite peaceful at the moment and just moving to the music was nicer than sitting on a chair at a table.

[Caeleb Dracus]

Caeleb took Nathalie's hand and led her over to the drinks.
"Hmm, now what would my Lady like? I sense a sort of citrusy vibe from you, am I right?" he asked, tapping his chin witht he tip of one finger.
He looked around the room whilst she decided what she wanted and laughed when he saw Max dancing with Annie. So Max really had grown up, and gotten all serious, then. His eyes fell on Dara and his face fell beneath his mask. She looked absolutely breathtaking. He'd never seen anything so beautiful in his life. But who the hell was that she was with? She hadn't mentioned that she was taking someone too. He saw the impressively tall man kiss her on the forehead and the torrent sirled angrily inside.
Well fine. Two could play at that game.
He slipped his arm around Nathalie's waist and pulled her close to him, using his free hand to pour himself a drink.

[Max Randolf]

Max smiled, just enjoying the slower, more flowing movements as he slowed them to a soft swaying. He smiled wider. Pulling her tight against him, he rested his head on top of hers.

"Ummm. My mum?" Sam replied uncertainly. He actually didn't know where he learnt to dance, to be honest! He smiled as she rested her hands on his shoulders. He continued swaying them to the music, actually paying attention to her face. Especially now he could see it! He hadn't replaced her mask yet.

"Well she's a very good teacher," Bella said smiling at Sam's uncertainty. He was a very good dancer and seemed to know a lot. She watched his face, staring into his eyes and smiled softly. "You know I think the whole thing of a masquerade is that we all wear masks," she whispered leaning close to his ear.

Dara's eyes were grazing the Hall, watching her students as they got into the groove of the evening. She shook her head as she watched Sam and Bella. So inappropriate all the time. Then her eyes fell on Caeleb again. She whimpered, watching him slid his arm around Nathalie. She knew Michael had his arm around her, but she didn't do it. It made her feel sick to have him voluntarily put his arm around another woman. She sighed again. Looking up at Michael, she saw him looking down at her.
"I - uh - I need to go for a walk. I'll be back," she said quickly, breaking free of him. She sighed, smoothing her dress, before walking over to Caeleb and Nathalie. She cleared her throat. "I'm sorry Miss Desjardins, can I borrow Mr Dracus for a moment? I need to discuss something with him," she said, in her usual Headmistress voice, giving them both a smile. Underneath it all, she was slowly killing herself. Being this close, and not being able to do anything.

Sam laughed. "Yeah, I suppose it is," he chuckled, pushing his mask down again, then lovingly replacing hers back on her face. He leant down, kissing her softly, then straightening back up, and continuing their slow sway. He was enjoying this. Better music wouldn't go amiss though.

[isabellapeters]

"Unfortunately," she muttered though she did laugh as well. She watched as he pushed his mask down and then looked into his eyes as he put hers back on. She touched his cheek lovingly as he kissed her, then rested her head on his chest as she continued moving slowly with him. "Love you," she murmured, she ahd a feeling she'd be saying it a lot tonight.
