Description of room:
Lillian wheeled into the large room reserved for the dance, and it looked just the way she wanted. She shouldn't help but grin when she glanced around, it was perfect. She hadn't been able to decorate herself, but the house elves and people she had instructed to decorate it had clearly done their job.
Black and white streamers hung from the ceiling and black and white balloons hovered in the center of the room, near the ceiling like a giant chandelier. There were levitating white candles hovering above the tables on the sides, and the tables had black tablecloths. The entire room was dim, just enough so that the candles could really shine, but not so dark that it was hard to see. The one large table at the back of the room had a white tablecloth, it was reserved for Professors only. Lillian sighed knowing that that would be where she spent most of her night, being unable to dance. She was getting a walker in a couple of days, but even if she upgraded to that now, it still wouldn't make a difference. (I was going to be in a walker for the dance but I wasn't posting a lot, waiting to finish up hospital wing ^^). She rolled around the room a bit, wishing she could be a bigger part of the celebration. Right now, she just didn't feel up to celebrating, she felt more up to sleeping.

Aludra Yvette... Aludra walked in to the venue of the dance with a smile. The room had lovely décor of black and white throughout the scene; no doubt credit of its initial idea went to the Headmistress, all of the balls and dances she had designed turned out marvelous. Lighting was a bit dim but all the more romantic for the couples to be in. Streamers and balloons were hanging from the ceiling and the tables were elegantly placed, even the dance floor posed a sort of regal aura. There wasn’t a doubt in her mind that tonight would be a most memorable one, even if her lover wasn’t here to share it with her. A pain coursed through her being as she thought of Kenneth. This was her first real dance without him; but she couldn’t dwell on such negative thoughts, not when her sole purpose for being here tonight and dressing all elegantly was to show Daemon a good time. She had noted that not many people where there yet, she must have been one of the first ones to show. No matter, she would rather be one of the first then one of the last. It was bad manners and luck in her opinion to be late for an event or date. Seeing as no music was playing and the dance itself was no yet ready to begin, she strode swiftly over to a table and sat down in one of the ‘couples tables’, those were the ones exclusively with two chairs. No need for her to take up an entire table with more.
She had of course dressed most wondrously tonight, after all it was her last chance to impress the school. She had grown her hair out for the occasion since people had never saw her with any length of hair except for her usual pixie cut; another part of the reason was Kenneth was rather fond of longer hair, she wanted to surprise him if he returned tonight. Her long black locks were placed up into an elegant bun held by clear pins and clips; it looked as if it was held up by magic. Since she didn’t expect Daemon to be too used to her morphing she kept her natural emerald eye color and her natural pale skin pigmentation. Her makeup was done to an exact art thanks to a makeup kit she had purchased by owl at Diagon Alley. WonderWitch products were a blessing for those with no formal knowledge of such a thing. The makeup was done so that she look sexy and sultry, but held a high elegance about herself. The outfit she had chosen was perfect for such a formal occasion. Aludra had specially sent Voldy, her owl, to get this dress from her home in Russia months ahead of time. She had done some altercations to it over night and was most pleased with her work. It was a strapless deep red dress with a sweetheart neck that reached down to the floor. The dress hugged and cradled her every curve, defining her most beautiful assets. To add some sexiness to the would be boring and ordinary gown, she added a large silt on one side of it, running from the floor all the way up to her hip as it exposed her bare leg. To offset and oppose the deep color of the dress Aludra had chosen a collar of white pearls to drape around her neck; matching white pearl studs were placed in her ears. Long gloves of a pearl sheen were on her arms giving her the appearance of true grace. After all she was the daughter of a well known and wealthy family, she was supposed to look like this in everyday life.
She smoothed out her dress patiently waiting for someone to enter and strike up a conversation with her or for someone to dance, anything so long as she had something to do. People watching was one of her favorite past times. When she was younger and attended parties held by the Minister of Magic she was usually found in the corner watching the adults dance, have fun, and do most inappropriate things behind the drapes. It was a funny and happy time for her none the less. Her patience had started to get the best of her as time dragged on. Daemon was no where to be seen and she feared that he had forgotten about her or fallen into another spell of insanity. Either way she would have to go and find him; returning to the party would no longer be an appropriate option at that stage. Aludra sighed and pushed all the negative thoughts from her mind; negativity was bad for ones health, both inner and outer. She would give him a few more hours. If he still wasn’t present she would go looking for him but she hoped it wouldn’t come to such a thing. ...7th Year Slytherin

 Catalina promenaded into the ballroom, her silken raven locks billowing behind her. She was wearing traditional formal wear for the Moors of Andalusia, and though ancient, they were very flattering.
Her ample bosoms were covered by an onyx linen, and her hips, though their shape visible, were swathed in the same fabric. Catalina had one true Spanish flare: a black comb in her hair, and surprisingly, a bellybutton ring. Altogether, her outfit was not something one would expect from a distinguished professor, yet it was a beautiful assembly, cultural, and spiritual perhaps for some naive boys.
Catalina surveyed the black and white decor, and the almost vacant hall. She curtsied to Headmistress van Nikolai, and rose. There was one other person in the room, a student whom Catalina had never seen nor taught. She nodded gracefully at the girl, and glided deeper into the room.

Lillian saw Catalina and smiled, Aludra she saw waiting at a table for her date. Aludra hadn't spotted her ((Just saying this since I was in the room but you said no one was there)), but it was just as well. She couldn't dance, so she stayed as far away from the dance floor as possible, her hands in her lap.
She was wearing a long white, simple dress, with a black sash in the middle. She had a feathery white and gold scarf, and a golden headband with a golden white feather at the side. She had tried to add as many pieces of jewlery as possible to the outfit, since the dress itself was so plain and comfortable. She couldn't wear something short, seeing as she was still in her wheelchair. Sighing, she rolled more towards the middle of the room, figuring she might as well be sociable. She had just finished an emotional encounter with Callysto though, and cried herself dry. She kind of just wanted sleep, to pass out in her office.
"Hello, Catalina. Hello Aludra. " She said with a weak smile, rolling over. "You both look lovely this evening."

Aludra Yvette... Aludra stiffly nodded in return to the professor. She had never attended her class nor wanted to, at least now it had given her reason instead of pure laziness. This was supposed to be a formal event but instead it was to be turned into some sort of harem. Merlin, the things she mother would do if she were to see this ‘professor’ parading about in her underclothes; and Aludra has thought her outfit to be scandalous. Even if they were a tradition in her country she could have worn something a bit more acceptable to a dance with 11 year old children present. Aludra had doubts the parents would want their children exposed to that sort of dress without proper explanation it was cultural. But she turned a blind eye to the situation and decided to let it be; she would ignore the improper professor for the night anyway. ...7th Year Slytherin ((I love it when Aludra's mean. :3 ))

"Buenos noches, Headmistress," Catalina said in her husky voice. "I see that you are looking much better."
The woman smiled, her plump, pink lips forming a crescent on her pale face.
It was true. Since their last encounter, the older woman was less disheveled and able to move about the castle, albeit in a wheelchair, but it was a much faster recovery than she would have expected. Catalina smiled even wider, showing her white teeth for the first time in a while. (She's supposed to be a naughty professor, but I've never gotten around to it lol.)

Aludra Yvette... It was a most pleasant surprise when the Headmistress came over, it was very good she was out of that confined Hospital Wing and out enjoying the festivities. “Hello Headmistress! You look divine this evening, a true queen amongst peasants.” Aludra complimented back. Though the mistress’s ordeal was just a few weeks prior she looked lovely sitting in her wheelchair. Her lovely ringlets were back and her face shone with much promise of the future. If only Callysto could see how wonderful she did look the night would be complete and truly magical. Aludra got up out of her chair and gave the professor a respectful bow of appreciation. “The decorations are lovely this evening. I cant wait for everything to get into full swing, I’m very eager to share a dance with my date.” ...7th Year Slytherin ((I was gonna make Aludra be a kinky teacher D: ))

Amelia Frances Joan
 ((There's always time for next year.))
Amelia took cautious steps into the room, her small heels clicking on the floor. Holy. It was beautiful. So much so that she felt silly in her small dress. It wasn't like there was anyone who expected her to look pretty anymore, so it didn't really matter. Lifting her head gracefully high, she hurried, as much as you could in heels, the tiny steps seeming to echo, to the small group that had started to form. She felt awful always around the headmistress. As if it was a constant after effect of her pain. Still she smiled and greeted her and the others kindly with a silent nod and a smile. She was way out of her league. And it just occurred to her that she wasn't positive she could even dance. Was this a mistake? Probably. But she couldn't go back now.

Ghaleon Elmerast, Ravenclaw, 4th Year
It seemed to still be early as Ghaleon arrived at the Dance hand in hand with Rosewood. The room he felt was decorated brilliantly and his eyes darted about trying to take everything in at once, he hadn't expected black and white to mix this well together without other colors going along with them.
Ghaleon greeted the few others he saw present, keeping close to Rose the whole while as he waited for the music to begin. He'd tried practicing to dance since the last ball, he just hoped it would pay off.

"Gracias, Catalina." She said, thinking for a moment about the word for 'Thank you.' "You're too kind, Aludra." She said with a grateful smile. She looked off into space for a moment, wishing Callysto were here. Callysto and her just shared all their thought in the hospital wing and her thoughts wouldn't help but drift back to that moment.
She smiled weakley as she was brought back to earth and looked around for any other Professors. She felt so...out of place.

StrawberryFlavoredBonbons Ghaleon Elmerast, Ravenclaw, 4th Year
Ghaleon grinned at Rose, he certainly felt like he was doing better than the last time they had stepped out onto the dance floor. "Thanks, wanted to make sure I didn't embarrass myself to much out here." He said with a small laugh.
Though from his own view of things Rose looked light as a feather on her feet. "You seem to keep on improving yourself as well though." He spoke pulling Rose in a tad closer. Though not so much as to potentially annoy the teachers around them, unsure how strict they'd be about the distance between partners.
