Jennifer pushed open the door to the astronomy tower and walked out onto the balcony. It was really windy out here today and she was glad she had thought to bring her winter cloak. She conjured up a couple chairs for her and Ryan and two cups of cocoa.

Ryan walked up too the Astronomy Tower to meet Jen."Hey whats up?" It was cold out tonight so Ryan was glad he had brought a coat up with him just in case, because he remembered what it was like up here the night he came up here with Kerien

"Hey! You've kept me waiting. And now your cocoa won't be as hot." She handed him the mug, which was still very warm, and smiled. She took a sip of her own cocoa which helped to warm her up. "I didn't pick a very practical meeting spot for us tonight, did I?" As she spoke the wind blew her hair into her face and she coughed as some of it got in her mouth. She put the cup between her legs and twisted her hair into a bun with both hands.

Jen smiled taking her cup from between her legs and holding it with both hands to warm them. "Should I even ask?" The wind was starting to die down momentarily and Jen took this opportunity to wrap herself into her cloak better.

"We just had to pick something up, so we went into town and did what we had to do." Ryan shrugged and smiled. "So what did you do today, we went looking for you and Kerien, but we couldn't find either of you."

Jen was intrigued by the boys' secret trip to into Hogsmeade. Usually they would ask her and Kieran to with them. But then Ryan added how they were looking for them, and assumed it was nothing important. "Well you obviously didn't look hard enough. I stayed in the dorm most of the day. I wasn't feeling well earlier. I haven't seen Kieran, but that's only because I didn't leave my bed. When you hunt her down, could you tell her I need to speak with her?" Jen had bought the most beautiful dress and wanted to show it off to Kieran.

"Yeah no problem, but if you if you see here first tell her the same for me." Ryan smiled as he took another drink of is coco. "So.. this hole ball thing..." Ryan was trying to make conversation, but he wasn't good at it.

Jen nodded as she wrapped herself tighter inside her cloak. "I can tell you are really looking forward to it..." She laughed. "I'm excited. We haven't had a dance in some time."

"Yeah, dance..." Ryan gave a nervous laugh, and had a nervous smile on his face. Ryan could not dance he never could and he was starting to think this wasn't going to go so well.

"Something wrong Ry?" She could tell something was up. He had his nervous face on. "You're not going to back out of this are you? Kieran would kill you if you didn't show up." She doubted that was what he was thinking, but just in case it was she had to let him know.

"No, no of course not there is no way i would do that to Kieran." He looked down and gave an odd looking smile. "Its just that....." He looked back up.

Jen watched him, her brow furrowed in confusion until it finally hit her. "Oh! Ry is this because you can't dance?" Jen had known Ryan was a horrible dancer for a couple years now. She had once even tried to help him learn, but after many hours of getting stepped on and kicked she had given up. He was hopeless. Perhaps Kieran would have better luck. Or at the very least, be wearing sturdy shoes.

"Yeah..." Ryan drew out the word as he spoke. " I mean I have gotten better, but i just don't like doing it. Maybe with Kieran it wont be so bad." He shrugged, he was just hoping he could work this out before the ball.

"Yeah, maybe." She stiffled a laugh, not wanting him to feel any worse. An elephant had more grace than Ryan did, and even if he had gotten a little better, she would bet 1,00 galleons he was still pretty terrible.
