The lake was finally decorated into a masterpiece of lights, for tonight's Winter Formal.
It was more of a Winter... Informal, as it was just a casual dance.
Albus walked to the lake. He had heard of the Winter formal and he had dressed up.
He had his black suit with a white T-shirt under.
He saw Al. He walked over and said " Oh! It looks wery nice!"
"Thanks..." Al said, looking at Albus's attire.
"What's with the suit?"
Sarah walked up and stood in the back staring at everything. She was wearing a long blue dress that went to the ground and had a slit 3 in up the side and was sleeveless.
*Wow this is great* Sarah thought to who ever was listening.
Al noticed Shara had formal wear as well, so he sighed.
"I never liked dressing up..." he said.
He waved his hand, somewhat lazily, and his clothes began to glow, transforming.
He then stood there in a white jacket with a dark blue undershirt. He had dark blue pants, and shiny, white shoes.
" Gotta do it for tha ladies just as you know it!" Albus said to Al.
Sarah smiled.
"Al you might not ike dressing you but you look good. I mean I would not mind running away to dance with just you in that suit." Sarah looked at him when Al tired he could look good.
"Becides I always dress up for dances."
Al rolled his eyes at Albus.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah..." he said to Shara, waving his hand impatiently.
"Come smile Al. Have fun." SArah smiled and walked over to him and gave him a hug.
"I mean it is a party."
" Yeah grumpy!" Albus said jokingly...
Al sighed.
"Whatever..." he said.
"Well, seeing as it's a Winter Formal..."
He waved his hand, and it began to gently snow.
Sarah smiled. "Your making it even better this is going to be one of the best formals ever."
Sarah twirled around happy.
[[Hey, what happened to Sirius and Cho?]]
Al smiled weakly.
"Thanks, Shara."
(not sure about Siruis. But cho has not been on in a while.)
"Your welcome." Sarah said as she held out his hand.
"Dance with me."
*Sirius slowly creeped into the room. his blue shirt and black tie looking very fashionable together. he, for once...wanted to be here. well, truthfully, he didn't want to study. so he chose a dance. he looked around to see if anyone was there that he knew. he spotted Sarah and smiled. then he saw who she was with and was puzzled.*
Sarah smile.
"Come one Al. I need you to have fun."
*Sirius watched Al and her while sitting down. he had a plan to surprise her but not until later...at the right moment.*
Al finally gave in with a sigh, took Sarah's hand, and stood up.
He sensed another energy level.
Trying to locate it, he looked in Sirius's direction.
Al stared at him for a bit, then looked back to Sarah quickly.
Sarah smiled.
"thanks." Sarah then started to dance with him.
"Your a great dancer."
"Thanks..." Al muttered.
*Sirius saw Al look back and hid behind the whtie flowers on the table, watching them through it. he was completely hidden behind these flowers, which helped him to be able to watch Sarah.*
I twirl with him and then fall to the ground.
"That was fun." Sarah smiles as the sat on the ground since she tripped.
Al smiled, and held out a hand to help her back up.
Sarah took his hand. "thanks I did not mean to fall."
*Sirius watched, unsure what to think at the moment.*
"It's fine, we all fall sometimes..." he said.
He looked at the flowers, where he knew Sirius was.
Al looked back, smiling.
"Your right there." Sarah grabbed his hand and stood up.
"Want to get back to that dance."
Al smiled.
"Sure..."
*Sirius glared at Al for a moment...just watching.*
Al stopped dancing.
He looked at Sirius, as he could feel Sirius's stare.
Sarah smiled. She then stopped.
"what the matter."
*Sirius ducked down lower as he saw Al stare at him.*
"Nothing..." he said, tearing his gaze of the flowers, to look at Sarah.
"Hey lets get something to drink."
"Yeah, sure..." Al said slowly.
*Sirius sat there, watching them, wishing he knew what they were saying....wishing a lot of things at this point.*
Sarah walked over and got them to juices.
Sarah then took a sip of her drink and spilt some of it on her top.
"Aw..." said Al.
He waved his hand, and the juice slowly came out of the shirt, evaporating before their eyes.
Sarah saw that and smiled.
"Thanks your the greatest." Sarah then hugged him.
*Sirius swallowed, his mouth dry, watching them with a dislike even more then before of Al.*
Al stepped back from Sarah, then waved his hand again.
This time, instead of something extravagant, The flowers Sirius was hiding behind slid over a foot or so, revealing his head.
"He's yours to deal with..." he said to her.
Sarah turned and looked at him.
"Siruis nothing happened." She did not know he was coming.
*Sirius stood and glared at Al.* you know i was really hoping to get to watch as my relationship with Sarah slowly came to a downhill drop while your relationship with her skyrocketed.
Sarah looked at him.
"That is not true. I mean I was just hanging with a friend since you were not going to be here." Sarah walked over to him.
"so it not his fault."
yeah well, i guess now you can have your night alone with your...friend. i'm leaving. *he turned slowly and started heading for the door.*
"Sirius..." Al said.
"Look, we're just friends. There's no harm in that. Look, spend the dance with her, and have some fun. Cheer up, I don't wanna turn this into something it shouldn't be."
*Sirius turned.* now Al, why would i think that you were more then friends with her? *he continued walking out.* no, you have a nice night with her. don't let me spoil it...
"I'm not about to let you walk out that door with the thought that Sarah and I were more than just friends," he said.
Sarah ran over to him and grabbed his arm.
"I like you. Not him. He just a friend."
Sarah had tears in her eyes. "He was just getting a stain out of my dress."
*Sirius smiled at them both.* look you guys, i dont think your anything else then just friends! why don't you believe me? *he looked at Sarah.* i didn't want to come in the first place...so you just have a good night with Al and we can have coffee or something later ok?
*he turned to Al.* have fun with her, either you were uncomfortable with me watching you or you really don't feel anything towards Sarah, either way...i trust you... probably more then other guys at this school. so have a good time.
Sarah looked at him.
"Sirius you don't want to leave. I know you. WHy are you." Sarah would not let his arm go.
"Sirius, she's not gonna let go of your arm. Just dance with her, then, if you want, you can leave. I won't hinder you any longer after that."
Mira walking into the dance (or thing...) nearly ran into Sirius.
*Sirius looked at her.* Sarah, think about this...when was the last time that I actually wanted to or enjoyed one of these formal dances?
"Please Siruis I do enjoy them because you are there." Sarah then dropped her hand. "Go if you want I can find a way to have fun with you not here."
Al grabbed Mira's arm and pulled her away from Sirius and Sarah.
"Stay outta this one..." he muttered to her.
*Sirius looked at her, his mouth hanging open.* Sarah. what's with the change of attitude honestly? just pretend i never came and you and Al go back to hugging each other and all will be back to normal.
"Dude, just dance with her once. It'll solve things without a mess."
Mira looked at the guy who had pulled her aside. She said slightly quietly. "Whats going on?"
Sarah looked at him.
"Siruis me a change of additude. I mean I was having fun till you got here so I could talk to you and well I did not know you showed. I would still ha ve fun with you but I mean hang with my other friends." Sarah held her hand out.
"Lets get some punch."
"Well, Sirius thinks that Sarah and I have something going on, when we're just friends..." he quickly explained to her in an undertone.
"I can understand that..." She muttered back under her breath.
*Sirius looked at them all.* look i'm sorry. i know, i would have fun to! i dont know why we're having a fight...or disagreement...or whatever this is. i'm just gonna go though, i just want you to have a good night and to have fun ok Sarah?
Sarah stood there. "okay. I mean I don't know what else to say or make you stay."
Al gave up.
"Alright... I got no more things to say to make you stay..." he said.
Albus had been watching from a table long away.
its theirs buisness... e thought too himself abd hegot up and got some punch
*he looked at Al.* good, now if you'll excuse me!
Lisa had decided at last second to come to the dance. She had nothing better to do. She was wearing jeans ripped in area's all over and a t-shirt. She looked pretty for a girl in casual clothing. "Hey guys."she said feeling slightly social. At that moment her favorite song Hero/Heroine by Boys Like Girls came on. "Excuse me."she said and she walked onto the dance floor singing as loud as possible to the song cause she knew every word.
Mira laughed. "Now that kind of fun is what should be going on at a dance!"
"Ya go a head. I'm going to go to the bathroom and then come back." Sarah was not really she was going to go walk the forest.
*Sirius after leaving the dance decided to go to the forest to just have some peaceful thinking. he arrived and sat under a willow tree, just admiring the sounds of the forest around him. he closed his eyes, leaning back on the tree and placing his hands in his pockets, also placing his right foot firmly on the tree as well. he breathed in the soft night air and smiled.*
Sarah was walking around in the forest as she was not going to go back. She then walked and feel to the ground and into some mud.
"Man I know I can't go back know."
*Sirius had saw Sarah out of the corner of his eye and had quickly jumped up into the tree that he had been resting against. he looked down at her and took out his wand, pointing it at her. he muttered something quietly and immediatly the mud on Sarah's dress disappeared.*
Sarah turned and looked at where it was from.
"Who did that." Sarah did not see anyone.
*Sirius smiled, looking down at her, knowing that she couldn't see him. he saw a flower in the tree that he was in and picked it quietly, then letting it drop down from the tree, aiming for Sarah.*
Sarah looked up at the tree. "who is that."
Sarah looked up but still did not find someone.
"WEll what every." Sarah then started for the lake.
*Sirius silently stood and located the nearest tree next to him. he jumped quickly to it, barely making a sound. he continued jumping the trees, keeping up with Sarah.*
Sarah got to the lake and used her magic to get a blanket then she sat down.
*Sirius saw her stop and stopped in a tree just to the right of her as well, staring down at her. he smiled at her even though she couldn't see him.*
Sarah sat at the edge of the water staring out at it and smiled. "Why do I always fight with him."
*Sirius swallowed, knowing she was speaking of him.*
(sorry, cant respond on pm...blah...)
Sarah picked up a stone and threw it in the lake and watched it sink. She did not want to mess it up.
(okay what you mean by that last pm though.)
(mhhhhm.....i was talking to kilynn and she said that natilie had asked you if you and i were broken up and i guess you said yes? know waht, i bet it was just in the thread she was talking about...)
*Sirius sighed, then smiled. he took out his wand again and pointed it at a rock, it slowly began to rise to where he was. he grabbed it and threw it into the lake just as Sarah had.*
Sarah started to look around and grabbed her wand out.
"Okay now ya what is going on. I mean I know magic."
(oh in on of the posts I was talking to vanessa and siad that we broke up but that was one post.)
*Sirius held bak laughter as he began to make rose petals fall on her and around the ground.*
(yeah...well idk. teehee oh well. our relationship is confusing lol)
(that it is)
That when Sarah looked up into the tree and saw some one.
"Who is It. I mean i'm not afriad to shoot you."
*Sirius hid his face in the thick leaves, to not be seen by her. he didn't fear Sarah, he was actually interested in the power his girlfriend had with a wand. he continued producing rose petals and throwing them lightly down to her.*
Sarah smiled as she sent up and ice storm that would freeze the branches.
"I will get you."
*Sirius shivered in the cold and looked at his feet. in some miraculous way, his feet had froze to the branch that he was standing on. he stood in amazement at his feet.*
"okay so ready to give you and show yourself." Sarah said as she looked up and kept it going.
*Sirius shivered and shot down more rose petals, this time in heavy loads.*
Sarah smiled she finally had figured out how it was and she stopped the powers.
"Have fun up there." Sarah then walked towards the quiddich field because she new he was stuck and would have to show himself since the field had no trees.
*Sirius watched her go, not making a sound. he laughed silently to himself at Sarah's brillance. he wasn't giving up yet though. he felt his shoes and saw that they were completely frozen to the tree, he breathed...thinking.*
Sarah then went to back to the field and thought maybe she would have enought time. So she used her wand to conjure up a table 2 seats and some food and water.
"Now all I have to do is wait for him."
*Sirius growled and took out his wand again, pointing it at his feet he muttered a few words and was able to move his feet. he smiled and jumped from the tree doing a flip in the air and landing on his feet and laet hand for support he stood. he looked at his feet and almost fell over from laughing, his shoes were still frozen to the tree. he had meerly gotten his feet from his shoes! he sighed and ran to the quidditch field, he had no other choice but to show himself.*
Sarah smiled as she wait when she saw a glimpse of him she laughted.
"that took you long enough your getting slow over the years."
*Sirius gawked at her smiling.* well missy, if you wouldn't have run off with Al then maybe i would have been quicker on getting out of your little ice trap and getting here. *he smiled and walked up to her, with only socks on.*
Sarah smiled.
"I like you shoes."
"Hey I did not run off with Al so don't say that. I mean I take offence from of it."
*Sirius blushed at the mention of his shoes.* ha thanks.
*Sirius smiled.* dont worry about that whole thing with Al. i totally over reaacted.
"oh okay I forgive you. How about some water and cookies." Sarah smiled.
*Sirius smiled with big eyes.* mhm! yummy!
(wont be on till the 2 because i go to ATL tomorrow and i dont get internet there. how sad...goodnight, ill ttyl in a few days!)
"well your welcome." Sarah smiled as she took a bite out of one of the cookies.
(oh okay I guess talk to you in a few days)
*Sirius sat down and took a sip of his milk before picking up a cookie and taking a big bite out of it.*
Sarah smiled as she looked at then and smiled.
"Your the coolest but I should get back to the party soon. I mean I told them I would. You can come to."
*Sirius made a noise through his cookie, still chewing. He swallowed it and stared at the other cookie's for a moment before responding.* You go back in there and have fun. Its not just because of the whole Al thing, but I really didn't want to come in the first place.
*He took a sip of milk and stared around.* this is the first time that i've been on this field... *He said looking at the clear night sky.* Its so peaceful.
Sarah laughed.
"That it is. I think this is the one spot that I have found that I'm able to think with out anything in to mess with my head." Sarah then thought to the time when she was upset because of something and came out here and passed out from being tired.
"It can be a downer some times where I come and clear my mind to much." Sarah just felt like staying there
*Sirius smiled.* Yeah, its not always good times out here then? I mean, winning games and such...or whatever you quidditch people call it. *He laughed a little.* I never did get into the whole quidditch thing to be honest...
"Oh well that is great." Sarah said as she smiled.
"I think quiddich is the one thing that lets me be me."
Sarah smiled. "You know Anastasia the dance is actually in the great hall."
She was waiting for Siruis to say something.
"Nothing I just came to thing and talk with Sirius." Sarah smiled.
Mira walked out bumping into Anastasia. "Oh... um.. hi..." She said caught off gaurd. Mira looked at everyone, slightly uncomfortable. "Uh... Bad time?" She asked.
"OH well hi there Mira." Sarah waved.
*Sirius nodded his head as a hello to Mira.*
Sarah smiled. "Well this is fun."
*Sirius had to laugh at this comment of Anastasia's.* It is your life. Do whatever you want!
congratufreakinlations then. *Sirius said laughing and running his left hand swiftly through his silky black hair.*
Mira looked at the two and rolled her eyes in a laughing, playful manner.
Sarah smiled at this. "Well I guess the party has moved to quiddich field. I mean everyone is here."
*Sirius smiled, nodding.* Yes it does seem to be that way. I see no Al though.
"Knowing Al he not figured out that we are all out here now." Sarah laughed.
