Death Eater/Hufflepuff Keeper // Seventh Year // color=Sienna
At the mention of a Yule Ball, Ayria was immediately far more excited than she should have been. There was a sparkle of excitement in her eyes, and she was definitely fired up now. A death eater looking forward to a school dance was entirely out of character, but here she was, making eye contact with her sister Myrra who was at the Table across from her own. It was a bit convenient for the twin girls that Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw tables were both situated in the middle of the dining hall, because it meant far less squinting for the two girls as the searched for the other.
Rules, boring.. She toned out the headmaster as he began to mention rules about the ball and didn't tune back in until personalized masks were mentioned. Again her gaze met her twin's and a mischievous idea registered in her mind. She would totally enjoy this dance and definitely play on her "twin vibe" with Myrra. Matching dresses and masks anyone?Guess who?
Ayria found herself in a complicated situation once the announcements and the feast was over. She was bored out of her mind as she roamed the halls and she had no one to talk to. That was a dangerous combination for the restless twin, so she made her way directly towards the Hufflepuff common rooms. There was always at least one person there, so she felt there wAs a good chance to chat someone up, hopefully Olria or Ethan, but she wasn't picky. She'd talk to anyone at this point as long as they were willing and at least mildly interesting.
Ayria entered the common room in her confident manne, her walk holding it's signature attitude as she scanned the room for a person to talk to. She nearly lost all hope, but her eyes finally landed on a slightly familiar male Hufflepuf student that she commonly overheard others call 'Nico', quite frequently to be honest, but she wasn't entirely sure if it was his real name or not. She knew that he dated McKenna for a time, but she had never spoke to this guy before now. Well, here's to firsts, right? Raise a toast, because here I go. Ayria mentally joked, approaching the boy who seemed to have his sights outside.
"You know, judging from experience, it's more fun to actually go out there, than it is to stare at it from a window ceil like some fairytale princess. It's especially fun at night." The brunette chimed in sending him a wink, her voice lacking flirtatious intent, so it was more than likely just a friendly gesture instead of a flirty wink, though with Ayria that was never certain. She was just striking up conversation for the sake of keeping her mind off of her sins, but also off of the Kai, McKenna and Myrra problem. Why couldn't he be happy with his girlfriend and leave her sister alone? Or break up with his girlfriend and treat Myrra like a choice instead of an option. The more she thought about it, the more she was tempted to put a curse on Kai, so she tried to redirect her thoughts before they quickly escalated into plans. She didn't trust herself to leave the situation alone, so she hoped chatting up this 'Nico' guy would distract her from what she really wanted to do; to expose Kai for the cheating boyfriend that he truly was, though she knew Myrra would hate her for ages if she ever found out Ayria was even tempted to reveal Kai's private life to other students. Her sister always was the gentle heart, which was why Ayria had to grow a backbone. Someone had to be the strong sibling, and that responsiblity fell on Ayria from a young age.
"I'm Ayria Blake, a seventh year. I've heard a few people call you Nico as I've passed you by on my way to lessons, is that your real name?" She inquired, leaning her back against the wall so she could stand nearby, but also put a respectful amount of distance between the two of them as well, "And if you don't mind my asking, what's got you in here and your mind out there?" She added, her brow lifting and chocolate eyes staring at him quizzically. She wasn't typically this curious, but she was dying for compatible company after that dreadfully long feast.
Hm, he's kinda cute... Too bad he's not cute enough to be worth dealing with McKenna's wrath. Ayria thought to herself with a chuckle, trying to decide who she'd ask to the ball. She had two or three possible candidates in mind, but she wasn't even sure if any of them would say yes. She wasn't the type of girl to wait around to be asked. Come tomorrow she would be on the prowl and ready to start asking boys to the Yule ball. She was a bit forward, but she liked it that way. She knew her sister would have a much harder time finding a date, especially if she didn't get her head out of the clouds and start looking at someone other than Kai. Just thinking about Kai and her sister brought her to clenching her fists, knuckles turning white without her even noticing it. She really wanted to knock Kai's lights out, one good time. He was dating Kenna and leading Myrra on, and that definitely wasn't cool in the younger twin's eyes.
Especially after she heard the rumor that he'd kissed Myrra on the train. She barely ate a bite at the feast when a fifth year student asked her about it. She lost her appetite on the spot, and now she regretted it, feeling the empty pit forming in her stomach already. Thankfully she ate enough to keep those awkward stomach growls at bay. Her stomach growling the whole time she spoke wouldn't have been a very good first impression, and she was definitely glad that it at least kept silent about it's detest for her decision to stop eating at the feast.
