Zea wandered in, late, almost unrecognizable. Having transfigured her hair into a coppery shade, she is dressed as an autumn faerie, complete with wings. She is wearing a leather bracelet on her right wrist, and her wand is tucked into it, and she is glancing about nervously.

The Great Hall was now filling up nicely, bustling children conversed and enjoyed the music provided. Which was not of the live kind yet, there appeared to be some minor technical difficulties.
Orynn sat on his bench, the Headmistress seated beside him as he eyed his surroundings. He nodded to some students and staff members, but mostly just blinked when they attempted to grab his attention. His patience already running thin. He tapped Elsbeth on her arm as he leaned his head towards her.
"I feel I must tell you as soon as possible Headmistress. There may be a... guest arriving at Hogwarts in the near future that. Well, suffice it to say that---"[/color] The Deputy halted in mid-sentence as a un earthly character walked in to the Great Hall.
Students were stunned at the nightmarish character, one girl almost screamed, Orynn himslef was on his feet in a moment. He stopped himself shortly afterward though, and tilted his head as his gray eyes scanned the entity.
A smile came across his face, one that was born out of genuine amusement. Orynn fished a hand in his front pocket and retracted something, and sat back down, crossing his foot over the other. He looked at Elsbeth, and held out his hand, the objects within gleaming in the candle light.
"I wager Four sickles Elsbeth."[/color] The smile still plain on his face, Orynn raised his eyebrows challengingly. Clearly expecting not to be taken seriously.

At Orynn's tap she turned to him, paying attention, but her attention was diverted as Orynn jumped up.
Elsbeth watched as the dark looking knight... thing... walked into the hall, but didn't react the same way as her Deputy Headmaster. She knew that it could only be a costume, because this was a Halloween Ball, after all.
As he continued speaking, she simply blinked at him before answering. "...Four sickles, Deputy? I haven't the faintest idea what you're talking about, but I accept, just for fun."

A small girl in a rose colored tunic rushed inside. Over her back hung a quiver with one or two fake arrows. She had on a tiny leather mini skirt which matched her top half, and under that she had on a pair of black tights. The female version of robin hood, that's who she was.
She giggled as she entered the Great Hall, thrilled that there was a Halloween feast. She loved the costumes, and currently was standing petrified as she stared up at a rather terrifying looking night. She gulped down a mouthful of pumpkin juice as she stared up at him. Curiously though, she coudln't help but get a sense of familiarity. There was something in the walk...

The large knight creature leaned forward, quirking its head sideways as though curious at the little creature staring up at him. A deep chuckle came from inside it.
"What's the matter? Is there something stuck in my teeth?" he said. On his armor, the fanged mouth that looked like a decoration began to move and open and close. It reached over with it's normal hand and grabbed some pumpkin juice.
Finally, there was the quick and loud bursts of a bass guitar strumming a quick tune. Soon after was an electric guitar and the banjo. The drum began a steady beat with the bass drum and then went along with the snare and cymbals. The electric guitarist moved forward and grabbed the mike that was in front of the bassist.
"Testing, testing. Oy, how you kids doin' out there?" he began, with a thick Scottish accent. Students began to cheer. "Well, lesee what we got 'ere. One of our pals, Mister MacLeod invited us over to this shindig an' wanted us ter rock the joint. I hope yer ready fer some of this. They be some muggle oldies but ye know what, screw it. We like 'em and thas too bad fer you. If ye got complaints, there's plenty of walls to direct them too. So, less start off with somethin' ter ease them into it. This is Johnny B. Goode."
And without further ado, the guitar began to play and the bassist leaned forward to sing into the mike the guitarist put back, while he played the bass. His singing voice was pretty good, but seemed to liven up the classic with a more punk-rockish feel.

Finding a space to sit after what felt like hours standing in those heals. Resting her elbow on the table, followed by her chin rested on her hand, she began to look around for someone she knew. For Alora, this was always how Balls or dances always ended up, sitting around by herself drinking far too much pumpkin juice and not even getting up once to dance.
Noticing someone was looking over at her, she tried so hard not to make eye contact, Worst time in the world to have a conversation, looking like this she thought as she squinted as subtly as possible as she had no idea who it was because of her eye site. Finally realising it was that Slytherin boy, Kennedy, her elbow slipped off the table, and she practically fell head first into the now vacant table.
With a slight cough, she pretended to sort out her hair and looked around at anything other than him. And he will be laughing at me rightttttt now[/]

"Hello, Shellivia. Yes, It appears that wings are in this year." She stuck out an arm, showing off her wing span and smiled. "Though yours are a fair bit more impressive. Pegasus, I suppose? And thank you, I'm well. I hope so are you."
Edward squirmed in her arms and fought to be let free. "Gaaah!" He squealed, as he pointed a finger at Shelly, and then quickly stuffed his finger in his mouth.
"Oof!" She readjusted her grip on the frog-baby. "He really wants to be put down- He's been really energetic as of late...Say hello kids." She said, looking down at Vincent and Isabelle.
"Hello Shellivia." They said in a sing-song voice together.

Arcturus appeared in the door.
Hey, what do you know? It's only just started.
Arcturus had . . . well, he had forgotten the Ball was tonight. He had begun to wonder where the heck everyone else was, when with a shock, he remembered that there was a Halloween Ball tonight. He dressed in his typical costume and ran down.
He had been thinking of a new costume, but under the circumstances, his old one would do fine. He wore a traditional tartan plaid kilt, with a linen shirt. He had a finely done belt around his waist, with what looked like an authentic broadsword, albeit smaller, hanging from it. He was dressed as a traditional Scottish warrior.
He walked towards the drinks table. Suddenly, a particular figure caught his eye. A large, demonic, purplish figure. He looked around the rest of the Ball. He saw Professor Orynn sitting with the Headmistress.
Well . . . if it isn't Orynn, it's got to be Nick. Typical Nick . . .

Stevie was sitting on the end of a table, not really noticing anything. He had managed to fit his wand into a fake dagger hidden in his ninja-belt, so it was all in all, a pretty awesome costume. Plus, it was a ninja.
He only spotted one person he knew at the whole ball. Neoma. He waved to try to catch her attention, and for her to sit with him. He wanted at least SOMEONE he knew to 'behold his awesome ninja costume'. Though, it was pretty awesome...

Isabelle came into the Great Hall late, having kept her friend Sera waiting by fussing over her hair too much. She was wearing a long, sparkly dark blue dress fashioned to look like a mermaid's tail. She had transfigured her hair into a silvery blonde color, and made it long enough to reach her lower back. "This better be worth it!""You know it will. You look stunning, I bet boys will be lining up to dance with you!" Sera was dressed as a tabby cat. Isabelle scoffed. "Of course they will! Oh, there's Mary over there, with my sister. Let's go see them first!"The girls navigated through the crowd to close in on Mary and Lilianne, who was keeping very close to Mary and kept eyeing the demonic knight with a look of half curiousity and half apprehension. Sera Oooed at the elaborate knight costume, but Isabelle just rolled her eyes.

Dónall finally caught the Ravenclaw's eye, and held the gaze for a few seconds before she realized who she was looking at and amusingly lost her bearings. He chuckled to himself at the humor of it, watching her try to cover it up nonchalantly. He hid his smile behind his goblet of pumpkin juice.
He decided he would go talk to her, but later on in the evening. This way he could give her time to forget the little episode that had just occured.
His attention was brought back to the big black night creature that was wandering the Ball. It was a wicked costume, and Don thought he'd like to know who it really was underneath the facade.
Still seated on his bench, he listened contently to the band's music, enjoying the beat and tapping his foot along with it.

The band continued to play, and moved on from that classic rock song to a few other oldies; Take Me Out and This Fire by Franz Ferdinand, Red Flag by Billy Talent, Broken English and Voices Off Camera by Rise Against.
Finally, the band took a few minutes for a water break and then the guitarist grabbed the mike again.
"Alright, Hogwarts. How you'll doin'? Havin' fun yet?" The students cheered some. "I'm sorry, I muss be goin' deaf up here. ARe yeh havin' fun?"
Finally, the students cheered a little louder. "ALright. I guess that'll have ter do. So, we've decided ter crank this up a notch and maybe have some fun. This next tune is called The Seven Deadly Sins, by Flogging Molly. One, two...!"
The mike was quickly slipped back into the bassist's mike holder and the man began to sing the song the rowdy song.

Neoma jumped up and down as she was thrilled to see Stevie, in what looked to be quite an impressive costume. She giggled as she made her way over to him. She didn't cheer the first time, but that's 'cause she hadn't notived. When the apparent lead singer of the live band asked the mto cheer again, Neoma let out a scream that was followed by bouncing and giggles. She was having a great time.
She got closer to Stevie, and he retracted a fake arrow from her quiver, poising it in her bow on her fingers. She pointed it at him, with one eye winked shut.
"So Mister cool Ninja, we meet again." neoma stiffled her laughter as she faught not to break character.
