Sezer, now thoroughly embarrassed with his actions but determined not to show it, clenched his wand tightly in his robe pocket, attempting desperately and with a great herculean effort to banish all thoughts of the extensive list of jinxes and hexes he knew from escaping his lips and being directed at Dexter. However satisfying it would've been to see the trouble-making Slytherin with fat lips. He sunk down into his chair, his left hand massaging his temples.
"I must apologize, Vlaityn." Were the first words out of his mouth. "I do have a bit of an.. affinity for following the rules. I'm sure you've noticed." Finished with the massaging of his forehead, an attempt to calm himself that helped marginally at best, his hand fell to his lap, and it laid there, almost eerily lifeless given his earlier spectacle.
He forced himself to calm down further, and he there by took in the faces. Was that Kanita? And had she just downed a glass of fire-whiskey-contaminated 'punch'? Merlin! These people were testing his patience. Just then, a little thought occurred to him. 'What could it hurt?'
He smiled in what he hoped was a charming fashion at Vlaityn, standing and offering his hand to help her up, all traces of his pissed offness having apparently abruptly vanished. "Shall we go greet our friends? Perhaps keep them from stripping? Only Merlin knows what all this sloshing will lead to."

A slight laugh fought it's way out of Vlaityn when Sezer was apologizing for his love of rules and order. "Good Lord, don't apologize to me. It's just another part of you I've come to love and accept." She joked lightly while accepting his hand for help up from her seat. After all, hadn't Sezer shown great patience with her and her slightly disregard for the rules?
'Love people as they are.' An annoying voice chimed in the back of her mind.
The prospect of going and milling about was never a completely pleasant one for Vlaityn, but it certainly couldn't hurt. Sezer had been practically the only person she had spoken to all evening, with the exception of a brief interview with Joel and Amelia.
"Oh, yes. Let's go be sociable and what not. And by sociable I mean I will be sociable and you will be a prefect veteran snooping out the wrong-doers." Vlaityn smiled radiantly.

Sezer sportingly made to look abashed with himself. "Now, now, I'll speak to Kanita. I can refrain from yelling at her, at least. I've known her for seven years, after all. She is practically my sister. My sister that just happens to be my total opposite..." He trailed off, half-laughing dryly.
He, ever gentlemanly, politely detached his hand from hers, offering her reassuring smile afterward, hoping to silently convey the message to her that he would've liked nothing more than to hold her hand in front of all these people, but that it was terribly unappropriate - exceedingly so without her permission.
So, keeping at pace with her, he strode over and greeted them. "Hello, Kanita. You appear to be enjoying yourself. Dexter. Ascella." He threw a nod to each of them, never one to miss out on manners, though he barely knew more about the latter two than their names.
'Really, Dexter isn't quite so horrible. He's just rather different from myself, is all. If Kanita has chosen him to be her date, well, he can't honestly be all that bad. ... But if he ever hurts her I will ensure that he wakes up the next morning to find something rather important to him transfigured, perhaps permanently so, into something that simply all together shouldn't be present.'
(I must disappear; I am needed to help my father grocery shop. I'll be back.)

Placing her own cup onto the table, after Dexter knocked Ascella's from the spot, Kani swooped forwards and gave her friend a hug. Being careful not to break Dexter's hand from Cella's. "Goodness, almost the whole gang is here," the smile glowed on Kani's face, filled with nostalgia. "I was hoping we'd all be able to catch up. Feels like decades since the last time we'v--"
Jumping nearly out of her dress, the flowy material settled back against her legs before spinning out again as she turned towards a familiar voice. Resisting the cliche reaction of placing her hand agaisnt her racing heart, Kanita instead put both hands on her waist. Serious face on, lips quirked in an odd half smile, as it was hard not to show her amusement, and foot tap, tap, tapping, Kani simply couldn't keep up her 'front' the moment her lips parted in greeting.
"Seeezer, come to spank our naughty arses?" With a playful laugh and a shake of her 'naughtified arse,' Kani lifted her arms from her waist and pounced onto Sezer with a too-tight hug. Making sure to leave an alcohol-scented kiss upon his cheek with a wink as she pulled back. And after releasing herself from her do-gooder mate, it was Vlaityn's turn for an embrace. This one much softer than her previous assault. Not knowing if she was over stepping her boundaries, even though she's felt closer to Vlaitie since the summer, Kani kept the embrace a short one.
"So how's the first half of the dance been? Can't believe we've arrived so late-- blame Dexter, he couldn't tear himself from his reflection." Now Kani returned to her date's side, slipping her hand in his unoccupied one while smiling sweetly. "Think we should ambush these fine students into dancing with us?" The Ravenclaw whispered to Dexter, cocking her head towards Vlaityn and Sezer.

Vlaityn kept a joy-filled smile on through the whole greeting, not even bothering herself with the kiss Kani had just placed her her boyfriend's face. Really, there was no harm in it and Vlaityn was well aware. And she was just so glad for the chance to chat with her again. Did that make Sezer collateral? She couldn't help but laugh at the very thought.
Gingerly returning Kanita's hug, Vlaityn laughed at the pun towards Dexter. "Oh, I can completely believe that. But don't worry, I understand perfect takes time, hmm?" Grinning humorously, she trucked on. "Besides, I don't think you missed anything. At least, I didn't notice or hear." Vlaityn paused to think about that for a bit. Had anything happened? In all technicality, she and Sezer had run off for that short stint of alone time, so Vlaityn couldn't fairly say.
'If I missed some grand prank being pulled...' She thought bitterly before correcting herself. 'No, I would have much rather have beem with Sezer.' Which was completely true. Nothing could have compared to him.

Perhaps darling Pippa shouldn't have gotten ahead of herself before peeling open her eyes. Then she might have been saved the embarrassment of being caught leaning forward to plant a kiss on Nearly Headless Nick.... who was not, in fact, a ghost at all. Rather, her darling friend, Anna. So almost nose to nose with Anna and lips all puckered out obnoxiously, for Pippa had those virgin lips with which she knew not what to do with, a shriek that could rival her dear friend Moaning Myrtle erupted from her lungs. Full of embarrassment and surprise.
"GeehAHHH! An-anna!"
Squeezing her eyes shut tight, as if by making the scene disappear it would also vanish from her memory, Pip felt water on the edge of escaping its tearduct prison. And she hummed a short song under her breath to distract herself from crying-- "hmmmhmhmmm, hummmmhmm. Hmm. Hmmmm" It wasn't anything recognizable, but it did its job. Miss Darling peeked open her eyes with a sheepish look and went about apologizing. 'Holy toed socks..'
"Anna, I'm sorry if I frightened you. And that I almost kissed you. How brash of me! I didn't mean... thought you were a man- Not that I have a man.. AND NOT THAT YOU LOOK LIKE ONE! And your hands deffinetally don't feel rough. Actually, rather soft. Like butter melting on my favorite blueberry pancakes. Very soft, no manly! But yes.... never mind. I'm sorry." Sucking her bottum lip so hard it completely disappeared into her mouth, making her look as foolish as she felt, Pippa pulled out of the waltz and curtsied. Just because it felt right, as if the curtsy would be the final touch to her apology.
Raising back to her full 5' 2.5" height, the flustered Pip felt much calmer. As if that was that and all was better now.

Tilting her head to the side, Kani smiled wider at the laughing Vlaityn, wishing she could dive into the girls mind in search of the amusement that made her features glimmer. Pouting in the slightest, with envy, it was this witch's wish to shine so wonderously with a significant other at her side. Was that Vlaityn's secret ingredience to her luminous happiness? 'Should I snatch up a boyfriend for the night?' Her peeked out of the corner of her eyes to the Slytherin boy at her side, 'Hmmm...' But then, immediately banished the thought with a smiling shake of her head. 'I'm too foolish sometimes.'
Being reassured by Vlaityn that nothing dramatically newsworthy was missed, Kani stopped digging her heels into the floor. "Oh good! Wouldn't want to be left out of anything that would provide Hogwarts with a week of gossip." A small giggle escaped at with that thought. For even if she did miss anything so delicious, it was a certainty that within the hour of its happening, the news would have reached the girl's ears no matter where she was. Before she could translate one of her many thoughts into a comprehendable sentance, all her attention was stolen away by a squeal that was sure to mean someone else's embarrassment. 'Poor girl...or boy, hah, you never know.'
Using Dexter as leverage, Kanita stretched her neck in a pointless attempt to see over the crowd to where the embarrassment was takign place. Horrible of her to want to witness the scene, but also satisfying for her curiousity. With much pawing at Dexter's shoulder to get some height with the use of tippy-toes, Pippa and her seemingly always endless ramblings were in view. "Oh, anything involving that young Hufflepuff is always a treat. I actually find her entertainingly cute! I should get to know her better, that witch is a bit of a social mishappened mystery and I'd love to..." Realising her curiousity had morphed into impolite rambling, Kani cut herself off with an apologetic look. Though it should have really been Pippa Darling she directed her apology to, for summing the girls oddness up with barely any feelings, she made it to her friends none-the-less.
"Ohhh, so sorry you guys. Sometimes I just get carried away with my inklings. Must try to be more sensitive, but I really was serious about getting to know her more, and not just to have my curiousities taken care of, I just generally like getting to know everyone. I'm quite terrible though." The corners of her lips couldn't be pulled from the frown they formed.

Anna grinned, launching into a fit of full-fledged, undeniable laughter. She held her sides in a vain attempt to stop laughing, thought it was common knowledge that it did nothing to help, and, if anything, made it worse. She calmed herself after a time, wiping away a fake tear. "Oh, Pippa," she cooed softly, an apology sprouting on her lips, "did I scare you?" She smoothed her friend's hair, having about five inches of height over her, smiling serenely.
"Pippa!" She shouted again, embracing her very best friend in the world.
Anna's eyes narrowed, she withdrew from the hug and looked her in the eye. "Now, now, no crying. Wanna hear a joke? Okay," she sped on without waiting for a response, she was like the Hogwarts Express tonight, she was, "Knock knock, who's there?, Boo, boo who? Don't cry! Its just a joke." She grinned at her friend widely. "I think I'm high on something, my friend. Is that fire whiskey I smell? Merlin, that' strong stuff, ya know." She giggled.
"Thank you." She murmured almost mechanically, blinking in the aftermath of her strange rant that, she was fairly certain, had much to do with blueberry pancakes and butter. And perhaps waffles? Had she just been compared to pancakes? Well, that was a new one. She grinned nonetheless. "I prefer chocolate chip pancakes, myself." Anna, feeling it right in the moment, bowed gentlemanly with a complicated, patternless flurry of her right hand, sticking said arm at her waist as she did so.
"You look very nice, Pippa." She complimented her friend platonically, smoothing out her hair once more. "Don't you just love my attire?" She inquired, striking a half-arsed pose. "It's just the latest from Milan, you know."

Feeling rather dizzy, with Dexter kicking her cup out of her hand, to his soft words, then all of a sudden Kani giving her a hug, Ascella felt like her world was tipping.
"Well, little hogwartians throwing up is not something we want." With Dexters hand in hers, and being hugged by Kani, Ascella was a little worried about her appearance. Luckily enough, the many layers of her petticoats under her princess style dress. There were already pieces of her hair curling from the heat of many bodies in the room.
"I think I am going to need some more whisky." Sounding slightly exhausted, Ascella put her hand to her head, glad that she was among more than one friend this time.
"Sezer, Vlaityn, Kanita! It's good to see you all, no matter how unaquainted we have been before." Acting just a little tipsy, Ascella looked directly to her side to see Dexter, her eyes discretely comparing her pale, lifeless skin to his glowing tanned form.
"Dammit Dex! Why do you have to look so damn sexy? Compared to you, I look like I just walked out of the hospital."
This gown is to hot. I think I counted ten layers when I put this dress on. However, I must say, I think I look like a pretty blue princess. I guess this, and that expensive, retro Harujuku-Lovers perfume is the perks of having a filthy rich step brother. That doesn't mean I like him.
Hearing Kanita's comment about Dexter and his reflection, Ascella couldn't help but show a smile.
"Don't worry Kani, I have a small mirror on me." Using her one free hand, Ascella swished her super poofy dress back and forth, her shoes still not seen from under the many layers of white frilly fabric.

After a few moments of dancing, Joel could hear the simple word that a few people were saying fowards the punch table.
'Dexter'.
When Dexter is in the mix at a party, there is bound to be some firewhisky.
"Sophie, you know I love you hun, but I must say. There is a crowd calling my name. If you don't mind." With a wink, Joel grabbed her hand and 'dragged' his lovely Sophienette with him over to the crowd, or, over to the punch bowl.
Taking a large glass, and chugging it, Joel couldn't help but grin. Thank you much Dexter, I needed a bit of...Energy.
"Why Sophie, you shouldn't drink, so I'm not going to offer you any. It's not right for someone so pretty to drink. Only I can." Of course Joel was joking, but he still put in a kernel of truth into what he said.
As he threw his cup away, Joel could sense Sezers clear, and apparent uncomfort with the fact that Dexter had brought firewhisky. Letting go of Sophie's hand, Joel rubbed his hands together rather evilly, trying to be as sunning as he could. Oh dear, oh dear. What can I do? Should I walk over and kiss Vlaityn, should I sweep her away to give her a night he couldn't. OH! I know, I can do the most evil thing I can think of. Hopefully it will lighten him up. Or maybe he'll just turn me into an orange platapus. Alas, risks must be taken.
With a few rather graceful steps, Joel appeared behind Sezer, trying to be as stealthy as he could.
"Hello my sexy. What are you doing with Vlaityn? You know she isn't on your 'team'" Wrapping his arms around Sezer's waist, Joel put his mouth next to Sezers jaw, giving him goosebumps as he ran his lips up and down his neck.
"I can't resist myself. I'm just such a good...'Player'." Using his hands, Joel untucked Sezers shirt, and put his hands up the front of Sezers shirt. Joel could feel Sezer stiffen up beneath his hands, and he could see what was coming, but he just couldn't resist himself.
I'm in love with Sophie, but Sezer will always have a special place in my heart. And he needs to know it. Using just the tips of his fingers, joel caressed Sezer's stomach, his hands moving in smooth circles. Joel knew that it would only be a few moments before Sezer would snap, and probably kill him, but those few moments of sheer horror were definately worth it.
"I said I'd rape you. However, I think the firewhisky has gotten to me. This night is young Sezer, and you know you wont be able to hold it in any longer."

Sezer was thoroughly content. He has his bird by his side, he's just been kissed on the cheek by his 'sister' Kanita, he hadn't been ravaged by Joel yet, he hadn't killed Dexter yet. All was well. He turned to Vlaityn, about to ask her some question about something, he couldn't for the life of him remember, when suddenly Joel appeared before him. Sezer nodded to him once, about to greet him verbally when his hands went, well, under his shirt and then things just didn't go well from there.
He shuddered, not from the cold or from any non-existent feelings he might've had should Vlaityn had been doing anything even remotely similar to that, but from the sheer grotesqueness of the situation. He, with a death grip, put both his hands on Joel's shoulders, and, using what moderate strength he possessed from lifting things and such back home, he withdrew Joel's face from his.
"I'd thank you to halt your actions." He stage-whispered furiously, feeling a swell of pride when his voice did not crack nor sound higher than usual.
Though the poor kid was valiantly fighting a blush, he was rather.. er.. what was the right word here.. freaked out? Yes, that was it. And it was understandable, too. Quite so. "Hold what in? My deep loathing for your actions?"
He took a deep calming breath, snatching his wand from his robe pocket and pointing it squarely at the side of Joel's head much like a murderer would point a gun to his victim. "If you don't want your bits hexed off and transfigured into chocolate frogs, I suggest you move your hands. Then it won't matter what 'team' you're on." His voice was fairly deathly, he liked to think, and, though he could no longer fight the imminent blush, his face was the tiniest bit of pink, if one looked closely, there was venom in his tone. He'd been fighting the urge for the past few minutes to hex Dex; now Joel just might be on the receiving end of a particularly nasty, yet altogether harmless, curse.
In short, the teen radiated pissedoffness. And to curse! Oh, Joel'd done it this time.

Dexter shook his hand loose of Kani's so he could wrap that arm securely around her, to balance the witch on her tiptoes. His chest held back the convulsive laughs as she drawled on an on about some such Hufflepuff he never really even bothered to make acquaintences with. But looking at the blond pipsqueak make quite a comontion and fool of herself, Dexter found himself smiling softly at her. Feeling the want to take the socially awkward girl under his wing and nurture her. Not change her quirky ways, but feeding her some confidence the way a momma bird chews up worms for her babies.
"No, no Kani. Don't apologize. I think I'd like to join you in making friends with Pippa. Should be fun, to say the least..." He didn't find the way Kani looked at life insulting in the least. It was the way she was, and she was so ALIVE in her seeking of knowledge and friendship. Now Dexter... his reasonings for the want of Pip's friendship was, for the most part, selfish and conniving. 'Sure to be fun though...'
The thrown around comments, about Dexter being the one to cause Kani and his late entrance, went ignored by the wizard. He didn't want another surprising, random falling out with himself over something her didn't quite understand. So a weak smile took place of the normal sassy remark that would have flown from his lips any other day. "I don't think the couple would like to be separated, sweet Kani, but it would be fun," his whispered reply was left open-ended. Dexter wasn't quite sure what he wanted to do first... one move he felt passionate to make was get Ascella away from the punch bowl. Perhaps he was all too protective over the girl... hopefully Kale would make an appearance soon, for that always seemed to put Cella back into sorts.
"Nice to see you this evening, dear Harry and Ginny," Dex gave the historical-couple title to their very own Sezer and Vlaityn with a true smile. 'Hm, wonder what Sezer would be like with a bit of alcohol in him..' "And Cella, you look lovely. Not a hospital zombie at all." His lips found her cheek. "Really, just stunning." And using his pirephial vision Dex watched the scene between Sezer and Joel unfold, but stayed out of it as he wasn't looking for drama this night. Well, other than what the firewhiskey may start...

Joel's eyes opened wide, his hands were in the air almost as if Sezer was holding up a gun.
"Sezer...P-Put the wand down. Y-Your smarter than that. If you recall, I have never, never pulled my wand out on you. S-So p-please put it down." It was hard to tell if the stammering in his words were due to the fact that he was laughing or that he was truly terrified. It was a bit of a combination of the both.
After a moment or two, joel could still feel where Sezer had grabbed his shoulders. Hurm, maybe if I flatter him, I can get out of this pickle. Or maybe I should just give in and hide behind Vlaitie. No, no, that wouldn't be gentlemanly of me now would it.
"Why Sezer, I think you may have given me a bruise! Lets just hope that no one who didn't see asks when I sleep walk with just my pajama pants on." The entire Ravenclaw dormatory, or the boys at least, knew that for the past three months Joel had been sleepwalking. He didn't know why, and he didn't really know of it until a freshman screamed when Joel had 'sleepwalked' into the wrong bed.
Putting his hands down, and placing them neatly in his pockets, Joel tried to compose his expressions. After the drama of his mother, Joel needed that talent a lot.
"Now sezer, you can't loath me. I'm your best friend, and I don't know how to show affection in one way.. Then again, so do you." The last part, Joel just whispered, hoping that Sezer didn't hear his little comment.

Sezer laughed, though the sound was shockingly dry. "Oh, you'd like that, wouldn't you?" He inquired rhetorically, calmer than he was half a second ago but still pretty damn pissed off. "No, thank you, Joel, I most certainly will not put my wand down. If you recall," he retorted, "I have never never tried to 'convert' you. Not that I'm on any such team, but, none the less." He, still true to his best mate even in such a time, managed not to give away his secret.
"Good. I'm glad. Every time you want to do something like this," he gestured flusteredly between the two of them, "you need only look down and think better of it." He knocked on Joel's head, "if you have any brain cells left, that is. Or is it all just filled with bird's houses?"
Though Sezer was only half-teasing, if he had not yet been pushed over the edge, he was rapidly approaching it.
"Flattery won't save you this time, you git." Through narrowed eyes, concentration over took his features, and, flicking his wand complicatedly, he stated a spell flawlessly and with perfect pronunciation. "Densaugeo."
Sezer allowed himself some very brief time to gloat and look smug, before he spoke again. "I suppose you'd like your teeth not to remain the size of a beaver's forever, wouldn't you? Very well." With another movement of his wand, he murmured the counter spell. He turned to Sophinett, playfulness suddenly apparent in his tone. "I warn you now, Miss Sophinett, be careful with this one. He stops at no means to get what he wants. Some might say that to be an admirable quality." He stepped away from the two of them, directing his attention toward Vlaityn, a rather random, yet at least half-genuine smile on his lips. "I can conjure you a beverage, if you wish. Or some punch, even." He smirked, his storm's heart eyes glittering.

Vlaityn had remained somewhat still and silent through the duration of the, er, slight altercation between Sezer and Joel. She was for a short period of time jealous to see Joel fondle her boyfriend in such a manner [she could safely admit to herself she'd rather be the one touching him in such a manner], but that quickly evaporated into fear. Half because she was utterly confused and half because Sezer had briefly dawned his 'I will obliterate you' face on. Which in all honesty Vlaityn did not want to get in the way of, no matter how much she trusted Sezer.
"No, I'm, uh, quite fine. Thank you though." Vlaityn murmured nervously, attempting a calm smile which probably
didn't quite form the way she had been hoping it would. "But if you want some punch, don't let me stop you." Attempting another smile, Vlaityn managed a humorous grin while glancing Sezer up and down. Desperately she wanted to grab his hand, but that would have been so random and perhaps too public for his taste, so she decided against it.
Not wanting to ignore her friends, Vlaityn turned her attention briefly to Joel and Dexter. "Hello yourself, Dexter." Grinning, she brushed off the 'Harry and Ginny' comment. "And Joel. You rotten imp. Enjoying yourself, hmm? I worry when we're not around to keep you in check. Although it seems Sezer is quite caught up in that area, it seems."
