Nevan was probably one of the few people who actually agreed to get paired up with someone. It wasn't until after he agreed to be a part of the mystery pairings, however, that he realized that fact. He just hoped that his date ended up being someone nice enough to get along with; after all, Nevan wasn't so much looking for romantic company as much as he was a friend. That said, he definitely wouldn't deny any romantic advances. He knew he wasn't getting any younger and a lot of people around him, especially in his year, had already found their soulmates. He wondered if the feeling of doom around them had any attribution to that, but figured it was best not to get into other people's business. It was up to them, after all. Nevan wasn't the type to rush into anything, though, and maybe that's why he hadn't had much long in the love department lately. It seemed like many people wanted to automatically jump the gun and get married without even getting to know the other person first. Nevan wasn't like that. He needed to really know he liked someone dearly enough to take such a step - or any step, for that matter. So far he wasn't sure if there was anything like that for him, but he wouldn't deny the opportunity if it presented itself. Going into the ball with high hopes for the evening, Nevan found his table marked with a '5' chalkboard number and sat down. He looked across the table at the empty chair through the flickering flames of candles and sighed. The worst that could happen that evening was one of two things: either his date didn't show at all or she hated him. Hey - if she didn't want to be romantic that was absolutely fine with him. But if it was someone that hated him well...the night not end up so nicely as he hoped for in his head.

Harley gave a sigh. A dance. Harley had never been to a dance, and she was super stressed out about it. She wasn't sure what to except, or what to even think. She hadn't even gotten dressed yet, but she should but she was currently being lazy at the moment. She looked at the dress on her bed. It was beautiful, and she loved it. She sighed, and picked up. The fabric was like silk. It was so comfy, and amazing. She was glad she bought it when she did, or she would be kicking herself for it later, and she would have nothing to wear, which would have been bad. She knew she couldn't show up naked. Harley gently pulled the dress on. It fit her like a glove, a really tight glove. She glanced at herself in the mirror, and smiled. She couldn't believe at herself. The dress made her curves stand out, and the color of her eyes pop. She couldn't believe her self, and she didn't know what to think about it. She put her jewelry one, and her makeup, which made her features sound out even more.
She walked to the dance, and sighed. Her heart was racing like a freight train. She finally made it to the dance after a short walk to the great hall. She pushed open the wooden doors, and strolled in. Her eyes wandered to her hand, which was holding a card which read 5. She glanced around, and her eyes drifted to the boy sitting alone. That was her date. She realized him as a Gryffindor, but she wasn't completely sure who he was. She slowly walked over, and offered a smile " Hello. I am Harley, and I believe you are my date. I am sorry if you are disappointed" Harley spoke in a soft, gentle tone. She was sorry if she was disappointing him, but she wasn't sure what to say. She was still dating, and waiting for her date to speak. OUTFIT NEVAN OMARI COOTE [/font][/div]

Nevan's nerves got the better of him as he sat in waiting. There was no way out now, he figured, unless he wanted to be a complete coward. He was a Gryffindor, after all; he could muster up the courage to stick around for a date, right? He had to. A soft 'hello' drew his attention. As he whipped his neck around to find the person speaking to him, all Nevan could do was sit awe-stricken. He had seen the girl around - Harley, she introduced herself as - but he'd never had the pleasure of speaking with her. At that moment, however, he cursed himself for that fact alone. "Disappointed? No, no, not at all," he muttered, then almost smacked himself. "I'm sorry, uh-" Nevan started, then stood up. "I'm Nevan and it's a pleasure to meet you," he said with a smile. He moved to the side and pulled out her chair for her, standing behind it with his hands placed at the top on the back of the chair, waiting for her to sit. Nevan was definitely not regretting signing up for the pairings now, not after formally meeting his date. He could only hope she felt the same.

Drawing me in, and you kicking me out You've got my head spinning, no kidding, I can't pin you down
Harley gave a very shy smile when Nevan introduced himself to her. Her stomach was still in knots, even though she knew who her date was. She sat in the chair that was pulled out of for her. " Thank you Nevan" She said fiddling with her fingers. She did that a lot when she as nervous. She didn't know what to expect even though she met him, she still don't know what to think about this dance now. She swallowed the lump in her throat. " So Are you meeting someone here?" Harley asked, trying to make conversation. Harley wasn't great at conversation. She continued to play with her fingers still nervous. She gave Nevan a small smile, and didn;t know what else to say. Harley looked around the Great Hall, and it was beautiful decorated. She loved dances, well actually that was lie. She didn't really like them because she didn't have anyone to really go with it, and it was stupid. It was petty reason not to go to dance, but she avoided them like the plaque, she wasn't sure why. Harley knew she should sign up for once dance before she graduates Hogwarts, but now, she was slightly regretting it. Maybe her date didn't like her? Maybe she was so shy that she was boring? Harley did find herself slightly boring, and slightly a little less interesting than most girls that the school. Harley was a innocent girl, and no one knew that. No one knew how selfless she was. No one knew how much Harley actually suffered because she honestly was really lonely, but this wasn't about Harley. It was about her date. " So What year are you in?" She said looking at Nevan. Her lips in straight line. There was no reason to smile anymore. Nevan was attract but someone that attractive must have a girlfriend, and she didn't want to cross any lines.

Nevan grinned as she sat down and he finally took a seat across from Harley. It was then that he realized just how beautiful she was. Her brilliantly blonde hair shined as the lights above hit it and her eyes sparkled as consequence. For once, he was speechless, and for anyone that knew Nevan, that happened very infrequently. He couldn't help the smile that played on his lips, but felt foolish for it. Shouldn't he stop smiling? He tried. It didn't work. "Oh, no, just meeting you," he said with a smile. "I have some friends here obviously but they're all with their dates and...well, I'm here with mine," Nevan grinned. He shuffled a hand through his hair and then leaned back in his chair slightly, looking at her over the burning candles between them. "I'm actually a seventh year - you are too, right? I'm pretty sure we've had some classes together," he noted. Nevan took note of her nervousness and wondered if she thought he was in a relationship already. If he was, he definitely wouldn't have signed up for the pairings - not when there was the chance of meeting someone like her. "So Harley, what do like doing in your free time? Just so I know more about you."

Harley's smile faded as quickly as it came. " Well I usually hang out by myself mostly during my free time. I don't really have friends really since I am quite shy, and no one wants to hang out with me because they think I am mean which I am not. I am quite the opposite actually. " She said looking away from Nevan's face. Her eyes darted to the ceiling. It was quite romantic. Her eyes darted away from the ceiling back to the people in the Great Hall. Everyone was talking and all the couples were being romantic. She sat her hands so she wouldn't look like a dork by playing with her hands. " I am sorry. I shouldn't have told you that" She said giving him a shy, sad smile. She didn't know what else to say. She was at a lost at what to say to this gorgeous boy. She sighed, and looked back at the great hall door. IT was opening and closing as people came in, and out. Couples were leaving to get romantic time and be together. Harley felt silly being here now. She felt silly dressing up, and trying to even look pretty. She could be wearing sweatpants, and a oversized t-shirt. She would be laying in bed reading, and eating chocolate, but she signed up for a dance. She sighed, and turned her attention back to Nevan. " yes I am a seventh year. You know you don't have to stay here, and talk to me if you honestly don't want too. I am not going to force you too. I completely understand if you don't want too. " SHe said giving a Nevan a reassuring smile. She didn't want force someone to talk to her if she didn't have too. Harley was a odd ball. She just realized why people didn't want to be friends with her. She felt like walking away, but she just sat there. She laid her hands on the table, and focused on them. " So what do you like to do for fun?" She asked him in case he didn't want to leave, then she might as well try to save their conversation but she was pretty sure she ruined it.

Nevan listened to her speak and then bit his lower lip. He was trying to think of an adequate response when she tried apologizing for outright stating her feeligns about herself. "Please - don't be sorry. You're just saying how you feel about it," he said with a nod. "And if it helps, I don't think you're mean at all," Nevan smiled. He could understand how some people think others are mean without knowing them, because he had made similar judgements in the past. However, there was nothing about Harley that gave him that impression, and it actually angered him that she thought so lowly of herself. She was beautiful, kind, and seemed intelligent - how could anyone put her down and make her feel such a way? He hoped he could change her view of herself. "Harley, you'd have to beg me to leave if you want that - I'm not going anywhere," he said sincerely as he met her eyes. Nevan stood and then kneeled beside her chair in front of her, looking up at her. "I promise, you're not forcing me. I want to be here with you," he said softly. He stood up and extended his hand to her, smiling gently as he kept her gaze. "Dance with me?"

Harley felt a pang in her heart, and her lungs. That uneasy hurt feeling when you were about to cry, but crying was weak, and Harley had to be strong, because that was the only choice she had in life, was to be strong. She looked down at Nevan's hand extended to her. " Umm. Sure why not." She said grabbing his hand gently. She didn't know Nevan's back story, and honestly, she didn't want to know because she still felt extremely guilty for keeping him here with her . Harley felt like running away, and she might after this dance. She would lay in bed, and read if she ran away. Harley was good at running away, and hiding. Harley's always hid from people when she was hurting. Harley didn't admit it at all but being alone hurt her heart like being cursed. She was still hold his hand, and she felt sick. She was still holding his hand because they were going to dance, but that was about it. She didn't know if he had a soon to be girlfriend or a crush, but she felt like a bad. She was taking his time from someone else. She didn't know what else to think but she knew her lips were sealed shut, and that she was probably better off not talking when she knew that her words would just be depressing, and upsetting. She brushed her hair out of her face because it was bothering her, and tickling her face. She waited for Nevan to held her to the dance floor. Her mind was going blank. She was staring at the floor, avoiding any eye contact. Harley's eyes held what her face was hiding. Harley was lonely, and she hated not having friends, but such as life. Harley knew it won't matter anyways anymore. She would learn to live with it. She was hoping this dance would make Nevan happy, and that after that he would leave. She knew this shou;d be fun, but it made her bad. She felt like she was wasting his time. She felt so guilty mostly if he had a girlfriend or a crush or someone he liked, and she was here with him. She was still staring at the floor, she was still holding back the tears.

Nevan knew that she was hesitant with all of this, but he wanted to prove to her that she wasn't wasting his time. What he wanted was to stay there with her, not run off and be alone. He didn't know if she could say the same . He helped her up and led to her to dance floor, then put his hand on her waist while continuing to hold her other hand, waiting for the touch of her free hand to rest on his shoulder. He watched her despite his gaze not being returned, wondering why she was so upset. He didn't want to upset her; in fact, he wished for the opposite. "I'm sorry if I'm disappointing you," he muttered as he moved his face past hers, lingering above her shoulder and near her ear. He closed his eyes and tilted his chin down, opening them and staring at the floor behind her as they swayed to the slow music. He gave her hand a soft squeeze and sighed, pulling back his head and find her face once more. "Please stay with me."

Harley shivered as Nevan touched her as they danced. They were swaying to the music. She felt her mind not be so stressed out, and she was starting to feel out ease. " I will stay here with you, if that is what you wish" She said in a honest tone in her voice. Her voice trying to hold strong. She looked into Nevan's eyes , and smiled, a sad smile but it was still a smile. She was trying to easy awkwardness between them. Harley continued to gaze into his eyes. His eyes were beautiful, and they had a warmness about them. She moved a few inches away from him so they could have some space between them, but she was dancing with him. She was still holding his hand, and smiled. " So tell me about yourself. Please" She asked with a nervous smile . She was trying to save their conversation. She knew people were watching them. She didn't care. She was finally start to enjoy herself for once in her life. She didn't think they would be friends after this night, but maybe they will smie at each other when they passed each other in the halls.

Nevan was pleased that Harley agreed to stay with him - at that moment, that's exactly what he wanted. He smiled and continued to sway with her, feeling her relax slightly in his arms. Although she pulled away, he didn't feel like she was distancing herself from him, more like she was getting more comfortable. Of course he was fine with that. He bit his lower lip and looked up at the white tent above them, thinking of what to say about himself. "Well I'm pretty simple, ya know? I like quidditch, parties, drinking on occasion....hate the winter though," he said, shivering as a cold breeze flew between them. "I also don't like waking up late - I feel like I'm missing out on the action," he laughed. "Do you like quidditch at all? Or are you more into arts and stuff?"

Harley gave Nevan a smile as he spoke about himself. " That is some interesting traits." Harley said moving slowly with him as they danced around. She felt wonderful, and her heart was beating out of her chest. " I like quidditch just fine, and I love the arts as well darling. I love just about anything. I like sleeping more than anything though." She said trying to get a laugh out them. Harley moved her arms to around Nevan's neck, and looked into his eyes. He had beautiful eyes, and she could stare into them all day long. His eyes left her speechless. Harley watched people watching them. Harley brushed some of her hair out of her face, and continued to keep her gaze with Nevan. What do you like to do on your free time?" She said looking away, and her cheeks were now bright red like someone threw tomatoes on her cheeks.

Nevan smiled at her, then laughed as her comment. "I definitely can appreciate that - if I could sleep and get away with it, without having things to do, it'd be a blessing," he chuckled, though there was truth to his statement. There was so much to do, though, that Nevan felt like he was restless. He always had to do things. As she moved her arms around his neck, he placed his free hand on the other side of her waist and met her gaze, grinning. "Free time? What's that?" he asked, chuckling. "But really uh...well, Quidditch?" Nevan said. He chuckled again and then shrugged. "I guess I like going to Hogsmeade a lot - it's fun to hangout and I like listening to music, too," he said, his eyes roaming around them before finding Harley's face once more. "What about you? What sorts of things are you into?"

Harley thought about his questions while they danced. What was she into? " Well I really like to read, wander around, and eat, but that is pretty much it, and I like quidditch, but I love to draw, and do that stuff. I guess i like about anything except homework. I could do without that. I would be a happy person without all that homework." Harley said with a small smile playing on her lips. She laughed when he said what free time was, but Nevan was right. She didn't have much free time either with all work, and stuff she had to do. She felt like she was alway rushing around, and never actually got to sit down, and relax, but Harley didn't regret coming to this dance anymore . Maybe she actually made a friend, an actual friend. She smiled at the thought of making a actual friend. " So, What's on your mind, right now?" She asked looking into Nevan's eyes with her ocean blue eyes. She listened to music stop, and the song was over. She still had her arms wrapped his neck, and was still looking into eyes. " I guess the song is over. So what now" She asked him a quiet voice.
