A little helpful service

[alt_draco]

Since I reckon a few blokes are going to be feeling a bit regretful that they took so long to open up their eyes to the fact that dancing is neither naff nor poncy, I figure it might be helpful if we compiled a list of people who are still without a date, just to make it easier for them to find one another, if they so choose.

Because get this: dancing with a girl is actually the opposite of poncy, as it so happens.

Who else have I missed? I didn't include third-years, but some of them might be available. If anyone knows about the students from Beauxbatons and Durmstrang, you can add their names here, too.

Sorry, sorry, not trying to be rude. Just checking.

I reckon it depends on background and how you were raised. My parents went to dances and balls all the time when I was growing up, and I had to take classes in etiquette and deportment, which included dancing lessons. So it never seemed like a poncy sort of activity to me, not when men like my Father and the Lestrange brothers and Ari Baddock did it and seemed to enjoy it, too.

So Weasley, well, I reckon it makes sense he's never been exposed to that sort of thing. I'm more surprised about Smith, though.

I know you're just checking -- sorry, I didn't mean to sound like I was snapping at you. Teddy thinks I made up a boyfriend and then I will pretend to get jilted on the day of the Ball so that I can go by myself and it will be because someone was a cad, not because I'm too much of a loser to get a date at all. Or at least he was saying that MAYBE that's what I was up to. I just

Did Smith have etiquette classes and the rest? It certainly doesn't show, if he did.

Teddy wanted to ask Hydra, did you know that? He was annoyed that Finch-Fletchley beat him to it. Or he seemed annoyed at first, but then he recovered right fast. It's hard to really get a peg on what Teddy cares about, sometimes. I don't see how anyone can really "make up" a date, though. There's not that many people in the school - unless they're counting on the foreigners to make things confusing and difficult to keep straight.

About Smith, I'd doubt it. He's pureblooded, but not in the cultured Wiltshire way. More in the "hole up in the North country and listen to quidditch on the wireless and drink lager" way.

Ooh, I didn't know Teddy wanted to ask Hydra. Guess he should've been quicker about it, then! I don't think they'd suit, anyway.

That's about what I'd figured, about Smith.
