Looking to dance::Open

[Phoenix Eden Goyle]

Phoenix didn’t have a date and he couldn’t ask Eric Simpson because the guy was in his house and he had heard that he’d probably take Hugo. He didn’t care about that. He knew Hugo loved Liam and wouldn’t dream of stealing Eric from him. He had always loved to dance, so he would go and find someone to dance with there. He may run into Liam or someone. Phoenix was sure that he’d have a dance with someone by the end of it.

He put on a black suit, with a white shirt and yellow bow tie. Sure, it didn’t really fit together, but he liked it. He was sporting his house colors. He just didn’t like that the shirt was white instead of yellow or black. Phoenix combed his blonde hair and smiled at himself in the mirror. He didn’t have a high opinion of himself and thought that he was hot, but he thought he looked good there. He finally turned away from the mirror and left the dorm.

There weren’t many people in the common room, but he saw the Simpson brothers sitting on the couch, talking. He waved at them, but they either didn’t see him or ignored him. He didn’t mind. He walked to the great hall. Phoenix stood by the door for a minute, looking around. They weren’t many gay guys at Hogwarts, but he was sure that he’d be able to find one. He walked further into the hall, hoping that he could get a dance with someone.

[Liam Michael Baddock]

Liam had wondered if he'd get a chance to dance with anyone, he sighed as he looked around. It was as he was looking around that he saw Phoenix, he was unsure why but he approached him with a smile on his face. He was happy for some strange reason and simply approached him, he knew that he needed to find a dance partner. Perhaps he could steal a kiss from Hugo during it but he had to dance with someone in a different house.

"Hey Phoenix, you look good tonight." He told him trying to be flattering after all Liam wasn't good at it and he was wanting to dance today since it was the Unity Dance. He wondered what Phoenix looked like under that suit, he smiled though and let his mind wander to places it shouldn't go. Liam was wondering if maybe he was doing something wrong or what but he stayed there and watched though for Hugo's approach.

"I'm not sure how to ask..." Liam was feeling oddly self concious for the dance, he didn't know why he just was. He sighed and waited to see if perhaps there was something with Phoenix that mad him uneasy or just his own unease. Liam was sure it was him not Phoenix that made him so uneasy tonight, he wished that Hugo were here for some reason Hugo helped his courage when talking to other attractive men. Though in his own mind he had a thing for Scorpius though he'd never tell the Slytherin that after all the man could tear him apart. He waited to see what Phoenix would say to him after all it was the House UNITY Dance, how he hated that word Unity when it came to Hogwarts.

[Phoenix Eden Goyle]

Phoenix looked around and spotted Liam, walking over to him. He’d admit that the kid was kind of cute. No match for Eric, but still cute. It looked like what he’d been hoping for would come true. He was going to have a dance with someone. He just hoped that Hugo didn’t get mad at him for dancing with Liam or Eric think that he was in love with Liam when it wasn’t true. Phoenix smiled when Liam reached him.

“Thank you,” he said, pleasantly. “You do, too.” He looked him up and down and then towards the entrance. He was a little uneasy about asking someone to dance. He just remained silent, hoping that Liam would ask. Phoenix wasn’t great with asking anyone out and stuff like that. He’d only asked someone out once and that was a girl that he had dated for maybe a few months before it ended. Men were different, though.

It wasn’t that he was afraid. He just didn’t know how to ask. When he heard Liam start the question, he smiled. He’d be able to finish it. At least he hoped that he would. “Are you trying to ask me to dance?” Phoenix held out his hand to him. “I would be honored.” A slow song began playing just then. He wanted to get out and dance, but he would wait patiently until Liam took his hand and they could walk onto the dance floor together.
