Friday Evening: Town Hall: Homecoming (8pm - 10pm)

The first thing that might be noticed when students walked into the Town Hall was the towering stone troll statues that had been dragged in to grace the corners of the dance floor.  It being Homecoming and a semi-formal dance, the trolls were decked out appropriately in hats, glitter, and togas.  Fairy lights were strung across the ceiling, some twined with streamers and some dripping glitter and confetti across the dance floor. 

The walls were decorated with blown up pictures of significant events at Fandom: Graduations, the school blowing up, the Christmas pageants, plays, carnivals, zombies, all the moments that make Fandom Fandom.  Given a place of honour on the walls were a mock up of an exploding volcano, a massive gremlin in a bow tie, and, of course, the Stickbug flag.

Large lit up snowmen congregated around the punch bowl against a snowy backdrop and across the ballroom near the stage, there was a mural of large dinosaurs reaching up to enjoy a glittery streamer dinner.  The wall of the door though had the biggest picture of all - a painting of the island at night from across the water.

As students dropped off their wraps, they were pointed to vote for Homecoming Court then encouraged to proceed into the ballroom.

"Of course," she said, and now that she was out here, she was even more at a loss. "So. Um."

"Right," Ron said with a nod. "Um."

He took a deep breath and held out his hands an arms in a formal dance posture. "Let's give this a whirl, shall we?"

"Okay," she said, and there was a little internal flail as she got into position and wow, this was so weird. "This isn't bad."

"No, not at all!" Ron immediately agreed. And feeling weird. "This doesn't feel awkward at all."

It so felt awkward.

"No," she said. "It might have been, but it's really okay."

This was ridiculous. She was seventeen. She was supposed to be past this sort of thing. Right?"

Ron stumbled a bit on a dance step but quickly recovered. "So you're having fun, right?" he asked nervously.

"I am!" she said, though even if she'd thought of using blush, she wouldn't have needed it at all. "I'm having a really good time. Are you?"

"Absolutely!" Ron said breaking into a grin.

It's a good thing his hair is a little long or his ears would be mistaken for an aircraft beacon.

"I'm glad you decided to go," he said, "I'm sure there were several good books you would have liked to have read."

"I've been to this sort of thing before, you know," she said, but smiled just a little. "But I am glad I came."

"So am I," Ron agreed.

He then in a little bit and dropped his voice a bit.

"It is just a little weird though, right?"

Re: First Set

[personal profile] smartestone 2007-10-06 05:02 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, thank god.

"Maybe a little," she admitted. But she didn't want to have to deal with why it was weird, either. Because that was a whole other flail. "Not bad, though."

Ron seemed to slouch a bit in relief. "Oh good. And no, it's not bad at all. It's good actually."

"It is!" she said cheerfully, though she was kind of expecting/hoping Harry would find a way to interrupt the awkwardness.

"You think the DJ has any Weird Sisters?" Ron asked trying to find an nice safe topic of conversation.

Re: First Set

[personal profile] smartestone 2007-10-06 05:54 am (UTC)(link)
"They might," she said. Big yay for safe topics. "I'm sure he takes requests." No, she wasn't.

"Hang on," Ron said. ""I'll go check! (http://community.livejournal.com/fandomtownies/2130980.html?thread=95419684#t95419684)
