Fun and Flirtation (Nevan)

[Deleted]

Nina was deeply in love with one Austin Kirke. She had given her heart to him one hundred percent without a bit of it going to some other guy. She was set on marrying him some time (well a good few years) after graduation, and some day having a family.

But while she was committed, that didn't mean Nina wasn't going to have fun with Nevan. They were friends, but she would flirt with him, dance with him, and even take a boat ride if he wanted to. This was a magical night, and she wanted to make it as magical for Nevan as possible.

She started by looking pretty for him. She was clad gold-colored ball gown with a black sash and black elbow length gloves. She did her hair up nicely as well. It must have worked because the tomboy was getting a lot of looks from others as well. Even some of the Slytherin boys who gave the girl grief couldn't help but gawk. Nina simply smiled and chuckled at the gawkers as she wandered about. She of course chatted with the friends she met, trading attire compliments. As a new song that she liked played, she hoped Nevan would be there soon.

Nevan was lucky to have attained such an awesome Charms partner. He knew a lot of people but was grateful for the opportunity to get to know Nina better. When he questioned her last week about what she was doing for the ball, she mentioned she didn't have a date, which led Nevan to asking her to be his own. Sure, Nevan had heard about the fact that she had a boyfriend, but he didn't mind at all. As far as he was concerned, they were going as friends and he was just there to have a good time.

Nevan dressed in a black suit for the occasion with a red and black striped tie, hoping he looked spiffy enough to impress Nina. After receiving several looks from girls in his house on the way down to the ball, he figured he would. Nevan grinned confidently as he made his way onto the lawns, through the entrance canopy, and began looking around for Nina. He quickly found her on the dance floor, but almost missed her due to the fact that she looked stunning.

"Wow, Nina, you look amazing!" he said as he grinned down at her, extending a hand while keeping his gaze on hers. "Care to dance?" Nevan had no problems dancing or sweeping girls off their feet - he'd done it plenty before and was willing to bet that Nina would be perfectly happy with his dance skills.

Nina turned and smiled at her handsome date. She definitely couldn't deny that he was easy on the eyes and looked good in his suit. He as charming too. This looked to be a fun night.

"Thanks, and you looked pretty darn good yourself there," she said. "And sure, let's get our dance on." She then walked with him to the dance floor and chuckled as she gave a goofy curtsy, acting like some proper woman in some fancy English manor house. But again, it didn't last long as she laughing about. "Oh I found that way too funny. Anyway..."

Once they were to begin dancing, she continued to smile at the Gryffindor.

"What is it with your Gryffindors being so bloody handsome?" she said. "Austin's a Gryffindor Alumni, you know? Though you probably knew him before he graduated, being the same House and all." She then sighed. "I know, here I am dancing with you and going on about my boyfriend. Let's talk about you, mate. How's your final year at Hogwarts been so far? Any lovely bits of excitement here and there?"

"Thanks," Nevan said with a grin, leading his date out onto the dance floor. He could tell she felt a little awkward about the situation, laughing when she curtsied, but as soon as he started moving she moved along with him, making for a much more comfortable experience altogether.

Nevan laughed. "It's no big deal Nina - how could you forget about your boyfriend?" he said with a shrug, shaking his head. "Yea I knew Austin - nice bloke. And I guess us Gryffindors just have a sort of charm I suppose," Nevan said, flashing his famous smile. "Ya know, actually, my year's been pretty boring so far," he laughed, taking her hand and spinning her round then laughing as he found her gaze once more. "It's actually why I entered the tournament - figured I could stir up some excitement in my life, but guess it wasn't meant to be," he chuckled. "What about you? How's Quidditch going?"

As they danced, Nevan found the boy not only had charm, but chivalry. He respected her mentioning her boyfriend. He wasn't some weirdo trying to snatch Nina away from Austin, and that had happened since she returned to Hogwarts. But no boy had yet to even come close to matching the epicness that was Austin... and Austin's amazing bum.

"He is a nice bloke, isn't he?" chuckled Nina. "Well I love him. And you certainly have a brilliant charm about you, Nevan. If you want, I could introduce you to some very lovely, single Hufflepuff girls."

Nina smiled as Nevan spoke of entering the tournament and hoping it spiced things up for his year.

"Well, I wish you the best of luck, love," she said. "But if you ever want a bit of fun, we could out and do some Broom Racing some time, or goof about Hogsmeade like a couple of nutters. Fun's my middle name!"

Nina shrugged a bit about the Quidditch.

"Pretty good," she said. "I like our team this year, one of the best line-ups since I start playing if you ask me. Just hoping we can really shine this year with me as Captain. You know us Puffs... the ultimate underdogs.
