The great hall is decorated beautifully. Magic snow falls from the enchanted ceiling and all the tables have been removed to make room for the dance floor. The platform where the head table usually sits has been converted into a stage, presumably for live music.

Chastity volunteered to help set-up, she thought it would relieve some pressure from the professors.

"My dear, thank you so much for your help!" She turns to face McGonagall with a large smile. "Your wandless and wordless magic is truly extraordinary to witness."

"Thank you, and it was my pleasure." The two women share a smile.

"Who will be accompanying you tonight?" Chas's smile falls slightly.

"Oh, no one asked me. So I thought instead I could finish up that transfiguration essay." McGonagall now presents a frown.

"Nonsense. You have a dress do you not?" Chastity nods. "Then you should come! You can stand with me and we'll observe together, yes?" The young woman smiles, feeling better.

"Sure, professor. I'll see you tonight then." Chas exits the hall as Snape approaches Minerva from behind.

"That poor girl. No one asked her to the dance. Why, those boys don't know what they missed even if she smacks them across the face." Snape smirks at the image.

"Perhaps I should save her a dance then." Minerva gasps with a smile.

"You'd do that, Severus? She must have found a soft spot with you!" He frowns and shakes his head. He has no soft spots.

The daughter of Loki stands in front of a mirror, her mother's holographic projection standing behind her. Fleur is out trying to find her Headmistress.

"What colour should I go with? The blue the red or the green?" Natasha hums looking at each dress. They are all equal in exquisite beauty. Of course they are they're either asgardian made or bought by Natasha and Pepper with Tony's credit card.

"Aren't you in Slytherin? Green?" Chastity tilts her head.

"Yes, but every girl in Slytherin will be wearing Green won't they?" Loki who is sitting in the background of the call frowns. He definately would have gone with the green.

"Yes but that is quite the dress, you must admit." Chastity frowns now, looking exactly like her father.

"It is."

"But?"

"But, I don't even have a date. Why am I even going through the effort to get all dressed up. It's clear no one wanted to spend any time around me." The men in the room with Natasha all stop what they're doing and share a simultaneous look.

They've got it covered.

"Don't worry about it, Chas. You don't need any of those oblivious boys. Go have fun with your real friends and I'm sure someone will ask you to dance. Now try the green one on."

The snow falls gently outside as the students descend to the decorated great hall turned dance hall.

The boys of every house and school all stand at the bottom of the stairs, waiting mostlt patiently for their dates. Ron and Harry not so much. They've been fussing over Ron's robes since he put them on.
