The Dance

[adele maria wentwood]

Adele finished her final touches on her hair, makeup, and outfit for the dance. She was going with Neville and Willa was going with Todd- a seventh year Slytherin. She was happy that Willa was expanding her horizons for guys. She still didn't know that Adele was going with Neville but she knew he had asked someone else. She finished and walked through her Common Room and to the corridor where she was meeting Willa.

They walked down to the Great Hall together then Willa left to find her date and Adele left to find Neville. She walked through the crowd trying her best to ignore the few guys looking at her. She liked her outfit. "Neville" She called seeing him, she then hurried to meet him. "Hey" She smiled.

Neville turned, and smiled at Adele. He'd been expecting Willa, but she'd asked someone else. So, Adele was his date tonight. He smiled before linking her arm through his.
Sure, he'd much rather be with Willa, but Addie was nice too, or she seemed nice, the handfuls of times that he'd talked to her.

"Wow. You really look nice tonight!" he said, as he tried to loosen his tie..

[adele maria wentwood]

Adele smiled at Neville and was happy when he linked their arms. She didn't look over at Willa when she felt her eyes on them. She just ignored it. "Thank you" She smiled fixing her dress with one hand. She wondered what the hall looked like. She heard some people were planning another Ball already. She couldn't wait.

"Ready to go in?" She asked with a smile. She couldn't wait to spend the entire night in there. She hoped that Willa would have fun with that Slytherin guy. She wasn't one for Slytherins but they seemed to have hit it off. She felt bad about no telling Neville she had only found Todd after he hadn't asked her, which he had but Adele picked up the note.

OUTFIT !!

Neville couldn't look away from Willa though. It took every ounce of self preservation he had jsut to keep from walking over and asking why she acted like she liked him then ditch him for another guy?

He smiled at Addie, and tried to at least halfway look like he was having fun. He wished he was with Willa, but obviously, charm and looks won out over a good person again.
"Sure. Let's go in."

[adele maria wentwood]

Adele saw him watching Willa and felt a pang of jealousy. He was here with her not Willa. Though Willa looked good, she helped with her outfit. She walked towards the Great Hall and tried to keep his mind off Willa. when they walked into the Great Hall, she looked around.

She looked up at Neville. She hoped that he would like spending the time with her. She knew and so did almost everyone else that Neville liked Willa and Willa liked him back, except him of course.

Though Neville felt bad about not being able to tear his eyes off of Willa, he was happy he hadn't come alone. He figured he should show some form of manners, so he smiled at her and asked, "Would you like to dance?" right as a slow song began to play.

As he lead her to the floor, he couldn't help but feel like he was about to make a huge mistake in doing this, or even being here with Addie. Like there was something he just didn't know, going on, and Addie wasn'g going to tell him. He shrugged it off, and instead, focused on not stepping on her feet as he held her close and danced with her. In his mind, it was Willa and not Addie. Addie was nothing more than a friend to him, always had been.

[adele maria wentwood]

Adele liked dancing and always had. It was kind of why she went to school dances, but she would never let anyone know that. No she would rather die before they know that she really goes for the dancing. Not the fast upbeat dancing, the slow sweet dances like this one.

The only thing that ruined it is that she knew he was thinking about Willa. About how he would have rather been here with her, not with Adele. He would have rather been dancing with her cousin, not her. Well maybe he would get that wish, Adele was starting to get fed up with how hung up on Willa he was. He was here with her, not Willa.

Willa had come with this guy named Todd Williams. He was a stuck up Slytherin and was kind of a jackass, but Willa would never tell him that. She was really just a trophy date to him. She was suppose to stand there and look pretty while he talked to his friends about god knows what. She did just that. She was bored out of her skull, weren't school dances suppose to be fun? That's what Addie had always told her, until Neville had decided to ask Addie to the dance. Addie had told her on their way to the Great Hall. She hadn't been too mad it was Addie who was pretty and more flirty and better date material in Willa's book.

She saw some of the other people she hung out with sometimes. She unhooked her arm from her date's and started to walk towards then until her date- Todd- grabbed her arm and jerked her arm so she was back over by him. She tried to pry his fingers off as they were squeezing her arm too tightly. She was sure she would have a bruise later from it. She looked up at him and he looked about ready to hit her.

Neville couldn't help it. He'd seen Todd looking at Willa that way, and then raise his hand, and something in him snapped. He lunged at Todd, and the two went sprawling onto the floor fists and bodys flying everywhere.

Neville was pissed. If he'd known that Todd was going to hit Willa, hed' never have come with Addie tonight, he'd have demanded to know why he wasn't good enough for Willa.
At least he wasn't about to hit her just moments ago.

[adele maria wentwood]

Adele stood dumbfounded for a few moments as Neville attacked Willa's date. What had just happened? That was her question, had she missed something or had he simply attacked the guy out of jealousy. She blinked a few times and gained her composure before looking at Willa and saying to her quietly. "This is your fault Willa.".

Okay well that wasn't true but it was way easier to make believe that it was Willa's fault then make it her fault. It was her fault, if Willa had gone with Neville this wouldn't have happened and then she could have gotten drunk and had a good time at the dance. Instead there was this, it would probably get them all kicked out of this dance and the Halloween Dace too.

Willa gaped at Addie for a few seconds before walking over and slapping her- hard. That was the first time she had ever done anything like that to her best friend and cousin, and would no doubt get a Howler when their parents found out. But Addie was being completely daft she had to have seen what was about to take place, she had to have known. She also knew that she had liked Neville and still went to the dance with him. In the back of her mind she was curious as to why Neville had done that for her, he didn't like her he had asked Addie.

She glared at Addie. "my fault!"

[/i] She screamed at her not even realizing she was screaming. She pushed Addie who ended up stumbling back. "You were going with Neville and you set me up with that Slytherin so I would have a date!" She continued to scream. She pushed Addie again and again hitting her a few times. Addie was doing a good job of ducking though. "You know I like him and you still went with him and then so you didn't feel bad about it set me up with that guy"[/i] She screamed once more before running out of the Great Hall crying.[/blockquote][/blockquote][/justify]

[neville devon longbottom jr.]

When the truth hit Neville, he turned slowly to look at Addie, a slightly angry look at his face. he could see his father watching from a corner, and sighed. He knew that his father had seen what'd happened, and most likely, if his father didn't punish him, then when his grandfather heard about it, he would.

He glared at Addie, not even sure what to say to what he thought was one of his friends. Finally, he said "Well? Is it true? Did you do that? Answer me, Adele." before shaking his head and mumbling, "nevermind" and bolting out, to make sure Willa was alright.

He heard footsteps behind him, and realized that Addie had followed them.


(I assumed you wanted to keep it going, and maybe have them all argue.?)

[adele maria wentwood]

Adele stumbled back and ducked as Willa screamed things at her. Addie tried to calm Willa down and get her to shut up before she said something that Neville wasn't suppose to hear. She had tried really hard to make this go off without a hitch, but the Todd decided to try to hit Willa and everything spiraled out of control. Then she said it and then ran out crying. The reality hit Addie like a ton of bricks and then she heard Neville say something, she couldn't make out what at the time.

It clicked in her brain that he wanted to know if she had actually done what Willa had been yelling but by then he was running out of the hall after Willa. This Adele was not happy with, not one bit. She was going to scream at him until she was blue in the face, unless of course she had nothing to say. In that case she would runaway too. That was what everyone always taught the girls when they were younger.

Willa ran as fast as she could in the god awful heels that Addie had but her in. She stopped barely a moment to pull them off and chuck them into some corner in the entrance hall. She then continued running. She ran down stairs and into the dungeons. Not even realizing she was going there.

All she could think is that now Neville knew that she liked him. All because Addie had decided to be selfish and then not even care what Todd did to her. Maybe her cousin wasn't a good friend to her. Maybe Addie used Willa to get the few friends she had. Either way she hated Addie right now for what she did and what she had caused Willa to do. She was humiliated.

Finally she stopped in the middle of the corridor and tried to stop her tears. She realized she was in the dungeons and turned to hide in an empty one not wanting to run into any Slytherins. She shut the door before sinking to the ground, pulling her knees to her chest and crying. She knew nothing else to do. The dungeon was cold and the dress she wore gave little coverage against it. She soon began to shiver.

OUTFIT !!
((Sorry its late forgot to put it in))

[neville devon longbottom jr.]

Not caring that he was already in more than enough trouble with his father AND his grandfather, who'd probably seen the entire thing, though he knew secretly, his grandfather most likely would NOT blame him a bit, Neville whirled around to face Addie when he saw her in the corridor and yelled "What? Didn't you do enough already? I mean you set your own cousin up with that damned jackass Todd, and he almost hurt her and not only that, I'm starting to think you just DIDN'T tell her that owl was meant for her. I think you should go right now, before I say something I regret. We're supposed to be friends, for the love of Merlin, Addie. WHO DOES WHAT YOU DID?"

He didn't realize that he was screaming at full blast, nor that everyone who passed could hear them arguing. He was more angry than anything at the moment, and he was so close to just saying to hell with this whole damned dance and going back to his dorm.

But first, he was going to find Willa. He saw her go into one of the dungeons, and ran to the door of it. It was locked. Making sure noone saw, he used his wand to unlock it, and slipped inside.
Quietly, he called out "Willa? Are you in here? It's me, Neville."
