Alex smirked as he wrapped his arms around Gary's neck, "I suppose that would be you...seeing as you're a lot more dominant that me," he grinned placing a kiss on Gary's neck. He sighed happily and dropped his arms down a little so he could rest his head on Gary's shoulder. It was a beautiful moment, he felt like they were the only two people who mattered in the world right then.

Gary sighed happily, the pain in his head fading just a little. "We'll get through this," he whispered, more to convince himself than Alex. "It may take a while, but we'll get there." He placed a kiss on the top of Alex's head and continued to sway to the soft music. He stumbled slightly then chuckled, "Sorry, i had a little too much to drink," he said, picking up the steps again.

Alex grinned, "Yeah, just a bit," he chuckled as he then took control. It was lovely just to be there with Gary, "I love you," he whispered placing a kiss on the boy's cheek. Alex looked across to the other people in the room, it was a lovely night. Rose and Faith had done a beautiful job. But Alex was steadily getting hotter and hotter, a mixture of his skin and the room with all the people. Taking Gary's hand he lead him out onto the entrance hall to get some fresh air. Besides, the ball wasn't just them, everyone else seemed to be having a wonderful time as well.

Gary smiled and rested his head on Alex's shoulder, "I love you too," he said. He smiled and followed Alex out of the hall, the fresh air helping to clear his now aching head. "Urgh, the only trouble with alcohol is that it gives you a cracking headache," he moaned, leaning against Alex. It was peaceful away from the noise of the ball.

Lazarus ran up the path to the school, his sword hitting the backs of his legs repeatedly as he clutched a stitch in his side. He was really late, all because Madame Rosmerta had made him triple check all the locks and charms before he was allowed to leave. She really did work him too hard. He burst through the doors, looking quite a startling sight in his Zorro outfit with the mask and the cape, and immediately spotted Zara sitting alone by the door, looking thoroughly upset. He dashed over to her and crouched down beside her. "I'm so sorry I'm late, I really am, but she wouldn't let me go and then I ran all the way here. I'm so sorry," he repeated, hoping she wasn't too mad at him. He'd hate it if she was mad at him, though he deserved it for being so late like this.

Zara lifted her eyes from the small mirror in her slender pale hand, and snapped it shut, Her eyes brightened at the sight of Lazarus crouched infront of her, Or she though it was him. When he spoke it determined it though. She grinned and shoved her mirror and lipstick into her handbag and threw her arms around his shoulders, "I Thought you werent coming at all!" She muttered into his ear, and moved back placing an affectionate kiss on his cheek. She over looked his costume, almost wishing she had come dressed matching him, she pouted at the thought. Throwing her long silver locks over her shoulder she stood with him and sighed, "I'm not angry, You have a job I understand that - If I was angry at anyone it would be myself, I thought I didnt send you the invite for a few moments." She admitted, her pale blue eyes staring at Lazarus's costume more, and smiled wildly at him, hugging him, "Im so happy your here, Now I can actually enjoy myself" She said sweetly, sighing softly, She felt bad for making him feel awful, and maybe putting pressure on him to attend. Biting her lip she looked up at him, and held out her hands, "Thank you Lazarus, For coming and all.. You didn't have't too."[/i]

Dolly rolled her eyes as she placed her hands on her hips as she ran her tongue over her hips as she sighed, "Yes, I am," She whispered as she then pushed her hair out of her eyes before she then flashed her eyes back to the Rose girl and raised her brow, muttering something under her breath before leaning back on him and running her hand down his neck slowly, "Dad's still in you know where and Mums still being a b*tch, you know how my family runs," She whispered under her breath as she smirked hearing some of the comments coming from the other boys, if Eli got attention from other girls then she could get attention from some of the boys.

[i]Elijah raised an eyebrow at her body language and how she moved herself, then the moving of her tongue over her lips, he almost glared at her. As she leaned back on him, he instinctively wrapped his arms firmly around her waist, making it clear that he would destroy anyone who attempted to even touch her by accident aka diliberately from the staring boys. He felt no threat however, He felt he was attractive enough to keep her, and loyal enough to her and only her. He lifted his chin as she rolled her hand down his neck, slipping over the rose tattoo'd on his neck covered patheticly by the white make up. He released her with one arm and took off his jacket to reveal a almost completely see through top, and his long strong yet thin arms covered with tattoos that threw the jacket over the table and wrapped it around her again, "Well, What can i do to take your mind off it?" He asked, still glaring at the boys.[/i]

"Mmm, I don't know," She smirked and pressed her lips to his cheek and mumbled something in his ear, with a small smirk twisting onto her lips she then kicked up her leg and then led him to the dance floor, "So Mr.Todd, would you care to dance? Since you haven't asked me yet?" Dolly whispered in a small smile curving onto her lips as her eyes twinkled and she twirled about, her hand running through his wild hair which she had to admit, it really did like.

"Well I bought the outfit so I can keep it, just tell me when you want it and I shall put it on," She smirked as she slipped her arm around his neck and then danced with him slowly with a small smile on her lips as they danced more rancher than the rest, the teachers they knew there would be no hope in hell that they would stop the naughty Slytherin and her gorgeous boyfriend.

"Of course I would," he said, smiling. "I'd fight off all the other princes too. They're no good for you, no good at all..." He suddenly had a funny image of Callie Rose in a tall tower, with Rapunzel style hair, looking beautiful as ever, and him at the bottom in this clanky, cumbersome armour, fighting through a forest of thorns and bracken to get to her. "I'd do anything just to be with you, you know that, don't you? Anything," he murmured, leaning closer to her and kissing her forehead lightly.

"I did have to come, though," he said, standing up and taking her hands, bringing her up with him. "I had to come because you asked me to. I don't see you often enough as it is." He pressed his lips to her cheek and breathed in her lovely, perfume smell, and reached up to tuck a curl of hair behind her ear and run his hand through her silver locks. Her hair was one of the most beautiful things about her, he thought, though everything about her was beautiful anyway. He did like her hair especially. Her hair and her eyes. "You look great," he whispered, taking the opportunity to let his eyes run down her body. He hadn't noticed her costume before, he'd been more worried about greeting her and making sure she was alright than seeing what she was wearing. He felt a bit stupid in his mask, but it was quite fun all the same, to be dressed up as someone else.

[i]"Lazarus..." She whispered and pressed her body up against his own and rested her head on his shoulders. He was right they had hardly seen eachother since that night they met in the pub. She closed her eyes, frowning. It felt awful to think of herself as moving away from lazarus, and she subconciously tightened her grip on his shoulders. She stepped back abit and tilted her head looking at his mask, "You look really handsome, Even though I can't see your face very well." She added the last bit in a teasing manor and looked around the room at everyone dancing and what not, She grasped a glass of butterbeer, not as strong as she would prefer but it was a ball. Zara pursed her red lips around the rim and sipped at the butterbeer and held it in her hand and looked at Lazarus, moving up to him abit more and sighed, "I missed you" she said holding his hand with her empty pale one. Holding her perfect posture and lifting her stiletto on an angel as she stood. [/i]

[i]Zara moved agasint him, and closed her eyes for a breif moment before glancing at the other boys, giving a digusted expression. It was undenyable that Zara had made up her mind on who she wanted, and it just so happened to be Lazarus. She quickly finished her drink and placed the cup down on the table, she sighed contently and leaned against Lazarus, "I thought about you so much" she muttered gently, her pale eyes staring at his mouth, lifting her newly emptied hand to his face and pulled at his mask, "Your face is too stunning to hide" she grinned, "Even for dressing up" she said tying it around her own short red silky cloak - Snow White, perfect. Though her skirt was cut a fraction too short but it was diliberate. Pouting her lip in a childish manor she turned her body away from the veiwers to face him. A world of their own. She imagined seven little dwarfs chasing her around making everything pretty for her, and then her Prince would come. Her eyes flickered up to Lazarus's eyes. She smiled "What have you been doing while I was away then?.." she asked moving slowly to the song playing, still pressed against him.[/i]
