Cole waited until Chanel had packed up, and then began walking. Once he was outside, he took a deep breath. "It's nice to get some fresh air, eh?"

Chanel buttoned up her coat and slung her bag over her shoulder, shivering pleasantly in the crisp air. "Yeah, especially with all that homework - I'm really not looking forward to doing my OWLs next year, I can tell you that!"

Cole sighed. "Me either. I'm also not looking forward to the ball," he groaned. It was true. He hadn't gotten a date, dress robes, or anything else he needed yet. Noticing that Chanel looked a bit cold, he offered her his coat. "Wanna borrow this? I don't really need it."

Standing up and following his friend, Aaron gave a shrug as he walked, in way of a response. "Not really sure yet..haven't thought too much about it."

Ryan grinned as they headed towards the West Tower and stopped out side the door.
"Merlin" he said as a bookcase opend to reveal thier commen room. He badly wanted to ask if Allison would be going with anyone but he didn't dare at the moment. "Well mate i'm thinking either Scarlet, Gwen or just to make a stir Belladonna...she is quite hot."

"Mm." Aaron replied noncommitally. If he answered, he was likely to give away who he wanted to ask to the ball, and he didn't want to bring that up just then.

Chanel finished buttoned her coat and smiled, producing a pair of mittens, seemingly, from out of thin air. "No, but thank you. So, who are you taking to the ball?" she asked cheerfully, unaware that Cole had no date yet.

_________________

"Eh, no one...yet. I mean...I haven't asked anyone, that is...and no one's asked me. I mean, that's not to say that I don't WANT to ask anyone I just...uh..." he babbled, completely tongue tied, and non-expectant of that question. He took a deep breath. "Forget what I just said. No, I haven't." He could've kicked himself.

"Eh, I'm not going with anyone either," said Chanel with a nonchalant shrug. "I can't say it's terribly important to me. I'll probably end up getting asked by some guy I don't even know." She rolled her eyes. "Which I guess would be okay, cause I think the guy I want to go with is going with someone else." She said this all very matter-of-factly, as though boys were a science. "Don't worry if you don't have a date, you'll still have fun."
