With the start of a new year, things tended to be a little hectic. January tended to be quiet events-wise, to give people time to get everything under control and get themselves sorted to deal properly with the second semester. But when February rolled around, that all changed. That all-important holiday, St Valentine's Day, was just around the corner, and the Events Committee was sure to let everyone know about it.

This year the dance fell a few days before Valentine's itself. Great big heart-shaped posters appeared all over the school, inviting everyone to don their cutest outfits and join in a celebration of fun and romance on the evening of Friday, February 10th in the ballroom.

On the night in question, the ballroom was awash in shades of pink and red. Candles and spotlights had been charmed to take on the colors, and the ceiling was covered in heart-shaped balloons, some of which were also tied to chairs and tables around the outside of a spacious dance floor. The walls were decked with streamers (again in pink and red), and in the corner a DJ was set to fill the room with every 80s ballad ever recorded, a bubble-blowing machine at her side to cover the dancers.

  "Of course she will," Carly said, trying very hard not to be amused. "I ditched the little wiener. Clearly not worth my time."

    "Oh, but who is, Carly?" He knew the answer to that, everyone did. It was some kind of hilarious, the hilarity only applying because it was Carly. If it was some lovestruck little nonfactor, it would just be sad.
    
    He sighed dramatically. "If only tonight's decor had a giant chandelier. You could drop it on certain someones."

      "Whores. The filthy, noisy whores. As if I won't to be woken up in the middle of the night to that shit." She huffed because Cinna and Hawthorne were already putting on their quarter-annual shit show. "They better not be planning a repeat of that bullshit for tonight. I will cut a bitch."

        Riley giggled inappropriately, attempting to cover up his ridiculous chortles with a fake cough. "Note to self, never interrupt Carly's beauty sleep. It'll be ugly in more than the aesthetic." He composed himself finally. "Hang on, aren't you supposed to be some kind of Charms genius? How bad does your Muffliato suck?"

          "It was traumatic enough that I heard echoes in my sleep." She'd only cast muffliato once she confirmed that there were three sets of moaning voices and she wasn't about to tell Riley that she slipped down the wall torn between an utter rage and just crying her eyes out when she recognized the sound of Hawthorne's voice. She didn't manage much sleep that night. Even the rumors she started the next day didn't satisfy her as they should have. "Let's poison the punch."
