Along the way, a few alcoves hide benches which are just perfect for photo ops and romance. At the very end lies a flower-wrapped gazebo with a dance floor. There is plenty of space to dance here among the flowers and the stars, should one decide to claim the moment.

xx♥ Wʜᴇʀᴇ Aᴍ I? The Garden & Outdoor Dancefloor

Mika was really, really excited. The school was hosting a fancy dance, and she'd been invited! Normally she hid in the background everywhere, but one of the boys that was in Literary Society had asked her to attend with him. She'd never thought herself the kind of girl that could be noticed, much less enough to be asked to such an event. She got a really fancy dress from mum, then a pretty necklace from Aunt Bet. It made her feel extra special, when normally she felt doomed to the background.
After she'd gotten dressed up, she decided to leave her long hair down, since she wasn't the best with styling. Today definitely called for more than a messy bun! She tried to put contacts in, but they only served to make her eyes hurt. Instead, she put on her glasses, hoping it wouldn't detract too much from the dress. She'd told Alynn she'd meet him in the garden, and she was glad she had. Following the flower-covered staircases, she noticed the Great Hall had people streaming into it. Hopefully it'd be easier to find him outside. She walked along the path, eyes sparkling with excitement.... and the fairy lights tucked into the flowers.

 Dymitri Alynn Quinlan
Gryffindor │ Third Year │ Thirteen Years Old │ Single
Alynn was excited to be here at the dance, as this was to be the biggest event of the whole school year. When he found out about it, naturally he wanted to attend, but he wasn’t originally sure if he would find anyone to go with. Last year he was crushing on Ella Cavendish-Grey, and while he still liked her, Alynn knew she likely had a boyfriend, after all she was popular and had a large circle of friends, and she was a Sixth Year and he wasn’t sure how she might react if she were to be asked out by somebody three years younger than she.
However, lately he started hanging out with Mika, who was in the Literary Club as well, and he really started looking forward to meeting up with her. If nothing else, it was more fun studying with Mika than having to go to Kas for help. The two started meeting up in the library to read books for the Literary Club, and he started introducing her to mysteries of graphic novels and manga, particularly manga editions of European literature. Mika also had the prettiest blue eyes, although he was certain he saw other colours reflected in them as well.
When Alynn told Kas about his plan to take Mika to the dance, his older cousin went into ‘older brother mode’, as he started questioning him about what he planned to wear and if he even knew how to dance. Naturally, Kas had everything worked out over the holidays, and even little Talya had a dress for the affair, even if she was too young to have a proper date for the occasion. When Alynn showed him what he had in his trunk, Kas immediately arranged to have his tailor travel from St. Petersburg to get him fitted with something better, as his original plan was less than acceptable.
Alynn couldn’t draw to save his soul, so he showed the tailor some ideas culled from the ‘Five Star Stories’ manga drawn by Mamoru Nagano, as the designs worked with his tall, lean physique, and he didn’t want to look like a clone of his older cousin. He ended up with a pair of black trousers with a bit of a flare at the cuffs and a pair of black dress shoes, paired with a long black dress coat, and a wine-coloured dress shirt with a black tie, along with the accessories needed to look like a proper gentleman.
Kas then went about teaching him how to dance, not like what one might see at youth clubs, but at formal functions as his elder cousin attended many such events when he was at his chess tournaments. After his failure to teach him to speak Russian properly, Kas applied himself to this project with real urgency. Talya was recruited for the effort, so he wouldn’t feel completely silly trying to dance with Kas, although she giggled frequently at his missteps, and yelped when she was nearly stepped on. Alynn found out his little cousin learned how to dance when she was in primary school, so she could attend formal occasions and not embarrass her parents.
So, here he was at the dance at last, about as ready as he ever could be, hoping the evening would be as fun for Mika as he hoped it would be for him, and wondering what she looked like this evening. Before leaving Gryffindor Tower, he took care to add one final accessory, a lavender carnation with darker purple tips to his lapel, and he had a corsage for Mika; both things he had to keep Stewie from sniffing and eating. They agreed to meet in the garden, which was a good thing, as he noted the Great Hall was already filling up.
Alynn’s eyes lit up when he spotted Mika with her long hair and her glasses, as he’d been secretly afraid he might not find her easily if she wore her hair up or was wearing contacts. His eyes lit up, a smile spread across his face and his heart skipped a beat seeing her wearing that burgundy dress, instantly feeling vindicated, after fighting Kas on the subject of wearing his dress shirt as it closely matched her dress, and hoping he didn’t look like a complete dork standing next to her. As he walked up to her, he said to her stammering a little bit, as he was suddenly unable to say anything remotely intelligent, “M-Mika. Y-you look, um … ah … w-wow.”
 Never made it as a wise man
I couldn't cut it as a poor man stealin'
Tired of livin' like a blind man
I'm sick of sight without a sense of feelin'
And this is how you remind me
This is how you remind me of what I really am
This is how you remind me of what I really am

While Mika was waiting, she was also watching other students shuffle past, all in their fanciest dress. It was a beautiful sight, for sure. She was a little nervous, in such a crowd, but with hope, once Alynn showed up, she'd feel less nervous about all the people. Eventually, a familiar mop of blond hair headed her way, so she offered him a small wave. He looked quite dapper in his long coat and fancy slacks, plus she noticed his shirt matched her own dress quite nicely. Her cheeks flushed a bit when he stumbled over words. "Thank you, Alynn. You look really nice too."
Suddenly, she wasn't sure what to say or do. She didn't want to run away and hide, like normal crowds might cause. No, she wanted to spend more time with Alynn, even here. Sure, they weren't in the library sharing manga and school notes, but for some reason, her nerves seemed different. Something about it made her tummy have little flutters inside. "I'm really happy that you invited me. I've been to a few fancy parties before, but nothing quite like this. Plus, it beats the monotony." She giggled, tucking the lock of white hair back behind her ear so it could better blend among the onyx locks. Her vibrant blue eyes sparkled in the lights, the deep sapphire color seeming brighter with her flushed cheeks. At least he didn't seem to think it was bad that she couldn't figure out contacts or a fancy hairdo...
