Dan stepped into the room of the Transfiguration class, peering around at the open desks. He looked at the teachers desk and found it empty. The teacher had not yet arrived, and there were only a couple students in the class at the moment. He quickly grabbed a chair, unable to notice that a majority of the class was Hufflepuff. He took a seat next to one that was maybe his age. Hopefully if he had any questions they would be able to answer. He glanced at the door as the teacher entered and hurriedly got out his wand. He listened lamely as the teacher explained the lesson of the day. He uncapped his ink and dipped his quill, taking note on the bit about the suffix 'fors' of multicofors and the tidbit about permanent and temporary coloration. He then set down his quill as the professor released the class to do what they wished to practice the spell.

He picked up his wand looking over his desk for something to change. It seemed funny to him, that they were learning the transfiguring of color rather than animal to object or the other way around. This was, in fact, his least favorite subject and would much rather be spending his time in defence against the dark arts. Dan found the transfiguring of animals or objects slightly interesting, but the thought of changing the color rather dull.

Finally, he decided upon transfiguring the piece of parchment. It was currently a very old, yellowish-brown color, and he decided to pick it up to something rather odd...perhaps green? Dan smiled at this idea. Yes, green. He pointed the end of his wand at the old paper, and declared the spell "Multicofors!" A drop of what seemed to be light green ink stained the middle of the paper, only the stain wasn't ink, it was the change of color. It spread, but only hardly so that there was what looked like a light green polka dot on his paper. He furrowed his eyebrows, unimpressed at his work. He sat straight and tried again, picturing a vivid green, the green of a shining Slytherin badge mounted upon black robes. "Multicofors!" said he, once again. The green became deeper, and spread more, and the edges of the paper curled slightly and tinted green in the corners so that now there was a large dot in the middle, and color flooding in the corners. This was still unsatisfactory for him.

Setting the paper to the side Dan picked up his quill again and scribbled down his homework, so that he would have none after he left the class. Sighing, he decided to try one more time. Using his wand, he swished it and enunciated the spell as clearly as he could, but instead, the royal green faded to a light lime green which covered the whole paper, but it was still not the color he wanted. Mentally, he slapped himself for he had forgotten to picture the shade clearly within his head. He sighed, snatching the parchment, deciding he would try later, and stuffed it in his bag rather unhappily.

Adelaine runs down the hall, clutching her book bag. She'd woken up late, and since then she'd been late all day. Now she was going to be late to Transfirguration. Great, surely she'd end up in detention. She runs down the hallway, and stops outside the door. She dashes into the class room and looks around. Oh good, the teacher wasn't there yet. Looking around, Addie searches for an open seat.

Finally she spots one next to a boy. Quickly she runs over to the desk and sits down. She pulls her text book, and her wand out of the bag setting them on the table. She then sets her bag down on the floor. She then looks around the classroom and sighs. She loves Transfiguaration, but she hates the class. Actually she just hates the people in her class, it's mainly Slytherins. They're just rude, she can't stand it.

Looking around Adelaine looks at the boy sitting next to her. Why had she seen him before? That's when it clicks. It was the boy from Honeydukes. She had started to think that she'd never find him again. But no here he is. Oh she still has his scarf. How should she go about, telling him that. She wondered if he still has hers. Sighing she bites her lip and twirls a strand of her red hair around her finger.

Slowly she looks over and takes a look at the boy sitting next to her. He was a whole lot cuter than she remebered. She looks over at him, and opens her mouth to talk. Just then the teacher walks into the class, and starts talking. Sighing Addie opens her book and listens to the teacher, as she follows along. She then listens as the teacher pairs them up to work on a new spell.

She turns to face her partner, the boy. "Please tell me you understand, what we're doing"she says softly. Honestly Addie was a bit confused, and she needs some help. That's why she asked the boy if he understood. She wondered if he'd recognize her. If not, oh well that would just be awkward. How would she explain the scarf? Maybe for now she'd stick to the class work. She'd worry about the scarf later.

Dan hears someone pipe up next to him, and the voice struck an odd memory in the back of his head, causing his eyebrow to slowly drift up. He turned his head to see who had spoken, and found a familiar face in front of him. It was that of Adelaine's, the Hufflepuff girl who he had once met in Hogsmeade. He remembered little of that small encounter, but only that it was a long while ago, and that she was very kind and he had taken a particular liking to her. She seemed really timid, but very nice towards him, and he liked that. Most people would judge him, and he didn't really know if she was or not, but she didn't act like she was and so he preferred to ignore any signs suggesting so.

Her curious eyes watched his carefully, and he had only just realized she had asked a question, but he decided to disregard it for the moment, seeing as class was almost over anyway, and if she really was confused she would have asked much much earlier. However, Dan did not get annoyed by this, he merely smiled.

"Hello, Adelaine," he greeted, shifting his body as to get a better look at her. She was very cute indeed. "I don't know if you remember me, but if you recall we met at Hogsmeade. I'm sorry," he chuckled, feeling a bit silly. "I didn't even realize you were in this class. Have you gotten a change in schedule?" he asked. Then, another question arose in his mind that made his chest hurt and his heart thump. Would this be a good idea? He wasn't totally sure, but he knew that she was nicer to him than most people ever were, but this made it even more difficult than it was. His mouth was suddenly dry.

The Yule Ball. This was always a horrible time in the eyes of the male. Girls tended to father in groups to escort each other to every single class, making it nearly impossible to get the individual girl in private. And then there was the ever-looming threat that one would be turned down and end up dateless. But this was the chance. Dan swallowed up every bit of courage that was fleeing from him at the moment, and cleared his throat. "Is it possible," he began, slowly, trying to find words as he went. "That you would be interested in attending the Yule Ball with me??" he finished quickly. He opened his mouth to add a very fast ending note, but closed it quickly, knowing that that would be a greatly foolish move. So, he sat with his heart practically having spasms, awaiting the answer that would decide whether he would have a brilliant time, or sit alone in the common room feeling too rejected to ask another soul.

Adelaine bites her lip, to hold back a squeal. He remebered her. HE REMEBERED HER! She couldn't believe it. She's practically bursting with joy. She'd been so afraid, he wouldn't remeber her. How could someone as amazing as him remeber her. She's so excited, she can barely talk. "Oh hi Dan"she says softly, trying to contain her excitement.

She then looks up at the teacher, meh they looked busy. She then looks back at Dan. She reaches into her bag, and pulls out his scarf. She then hands it to him. "I think this is your scarf"she says with a small smile. She then looks around, and blinks. To be honest she's a bit nervous. She doesn't want to say the wrong then.

Addie turns back just in time to hear him say something about asking her something. She perks up and moves a bit closer, to listen to him. When she hears the words come out of his mouth, she can't help but smile. "Oh yes! Yes yes yes!"she says to him. Oh my gosh she couldn't believe it, she has a date to the ball. Not to mention it's with Dan! This can't get any better. "I'm so excited right now!"she says to him, not entirely sure why she said it.

Addie then leans in and hugs him, she's just that excited. Quickly she pulls away and turns back to her text book. She picks up her wand and points it at the paper. "Multicolors"she says softly. The paper then turns various colors of the rainbow. Red in the center and it fades into violet along the edges. She picks it up and smiles. It was so, pretty. Smiling she slips it into her bag, she'd hang it up. It looked nice. She then slides her book into her bag, and looks around. She then looks back at Dan. "Sorry about that"she says softly, talking about the hug. It was impulsive, and she felt the need to apologize.

Dan watches as she reaches into her bag and produces a silver and green Slytherin house scarf. He gaped "You kept it? After all this time?" he asked, dumbfounded. He hadn't even realized he had lost it, and it was even more impressive that she kept it just to return to him a month later, without even a meeting in between. Now that, Dan realized, was loyalty. A pronounced trait of a Hufflepuff, and Dan smiled, silently thinking that the sorting hat had made a good choice the night of her sorting.

Suddenly, a weight the size of an elephant was lifted off Dan's shoulders, and he felt relaxed, and as though excitement pulsed through his blood, rushing throughout his body. "W-wait," Dan breathed, hardly able to comprehend what had just happened. He did not feel rebuffed. She... She accepted his invitation? "Did you just say yes?" he spluttered, seeming like an idiot but unable to ask the question for clarity. All these years, growing up without friends, being hated by his own housemates, and being seen as someone to hate by all other houses. But now. Now, he finally got to meet someone, get to know them, let down his emotional barrier and let them know him...and now, he had a date to the yule ball.

As comprehension dawned, a second injection of excitement made him buzz. As Adelaine hugged him, he hugged back, wrapping his strong arms around her and squeezing her. She apologized, but he didn't need it. He could tell she was excited, and he was just excited, failing miserably at playing cool. He watched as she perfectly transfigured her parchment. She must be a brilliant witch, he thought, watching her silently. That or I'm a really bad wizard.

As the bell for the end of class tolled, Dan stood up, slinging his book bag over his shoulder, and slipping his wand into his pocket. "I'm really glad you decided to go with me," he said, looking down at Adelaine. She looked so much less as an obstacle to conquer now, and more as a warm friend that he could learn to trust. It was a great feeling. "I've got Herbology now, down in the greenhouses," he told her. A ruckus had commenced as people pushed back their chairs which made a screech on the stone flooring, and made their way for the door, now talking loudly with their friends. He held a hand out to help Adelaine up. "What class do you have? Maybe we can walk together?" he proposed the idea, and a small amount of heat was added to his face and he guessed it was probably pink.

Adelaine smiles as she watches his face when he sees the scarf. She was glad she'd kept it. "Always"she says softly. Addie smiles lightly and looks at Dan. The look on his face makes her smile even wider. He just looks so happy. She'd never really seen anyone feel like this because of one of her actions. Most of the time people didn't even notice her, or her actions.

Looking around the class, she notices all of the people talking with their friends. To bad none of them are her friends. She doesn't have a lot of friends, most of them ignore her. And she's just a bit to shy to say anything. It really doesn't bother her though. She's happy by herself, but having friends is nice. Anyways, Dan's her friend. One friends better than none. Smiling she turns back, towards Dan. While watching her, she slides all of her stuff into his bag.

Watching his reaction to her saying yes, she can't help but giggle. It's just so adorable. Speaking of which he's adorable. His brown hair, and (insert color) eyes are perfect. Smiling she looks over at him. "Well of course silly!"she says to him. Honestly she was a bit shocked by his reaction. Had he been expecting her to say no? She couldn't imagine why. How could anyone say no to someone like Dan, he's perfect. "Why, did you think I'd say no?"she asks him.

Sitting there, it takes all of her will to not burst with excitement. She has a date to the Yule Ball! She can't believe it! This is just amazing. Oh wow, she has to find something to wear. Oh boy, that should be a lot of fun. She can worry about that later, it's not important now. She smiles and looks at Dan. The hug left her feeling a bit awkward, but that slowly goes away. Of course she's pretty sure her cheeks are a pink.

Smiling lightly, Addie takes his hand and stands up. She then slings her bag over her shoulder, and sticks her wand into her pocket. "I'm glad you asked me"she says to him with a big smile. Addie then listens to him as he takes. Next she has uhm, a free period. Or is it potions? If she just had Transifiguration, it's her free period. Potions is after her free period. "Sure you can walk with me"she says to him. "I have a free period now, anyways"she says to him.

Addie then turns and leads him out of the room, still holding on to his hand. Grinning, she looks around and looks over at him. "So, what do you like doing for fun?"she asks him. Addie then countines walking down the hall. She was so excited that she has a date to the dance. Maybe now she can spend her free period working on finding a dress. She doesn't have any homework.

Dan smiled as they walked out of the classroom behind the rest of the students. When they emerged from the class, a flood of students had filled the castle halls, and the portraits on the walls were talking loudly amongst each other. He joined the crowd. "I don't know, just nervous, I guess. I don't have many admirers," he admitted, embarrassed. A couple of Ravenclaws brushed past him. Ravenclaws irritated him. Not for any particular grudge against them, but he just disliked how much of a smarty-pants they could be, considering that he had a passing grade, but at the lowest possible grade.

As they reached the grand staircase, he waited on a platform for a staircase to move so he could descend. As he waited, he turned to Adelaine. "Fun? I don't really know. Usually I practice flying on a broom. Gotta keep fit for try-outs next year," he told her. A staircase rumbled its way to their platform, and he motioned for her to follow as he began to hastily trot down. It was quite a long walk for only a passing period of ten minutes, from transfiguration all the way across the grounds to the greenhouses. "How about you?" he asked, after having reached the bottom, able to start the conversation again. "You seem like you would spend time outside, as well. Am I right?" he asked.

He reached the huge castle doors, and sunlight flooded in, making him squint, and wind streaming through his dark brown hair making him shiver. There were much less people outside. Some kids headed in groups towards Hagrid's house, cloaks billowing behind them, hustling to get there before the bell. Others were taking a route around the side of the castle towards the greenhouses. Dan started behind them, motioning for Adelaine to come along. "Speaking of, what do you usually do in your free periods?" he asked. It was a long shot, but maybe, just maybe, if she didn't have anything to do she could fill the period with another Herbology lesson and tag along with him a little longer. Dan really liked having her around and it was a weird feeling but he didn't want her to leave.
