Ryuuji joins in the general applause after Sara's speech, impressed by how well she planned everything out. He hadn't realized she was going to throw a proper party, but then again, it is Sara, after all. He should know better than to think she'd do anything halfway.

Greeting anyone he meets on the way easily, he works his way through the throng to reach the hostess of the night. Once there, he gives a quick polite bow, then holds an odd little flower - it looks like a lily but is made of parchment, with a light-hearted love sonnet penned inside it. With a grin, he explains, "For you, fairest. I thought that a paper flower would be a little more appropriate for you than a real one. Real ones wilt even while words last."

*delighted by the bow, and the flower*

Hi, Ryuuji! Thank you for coming!

*Takes the flower and opens it, and reads the sonnet, blushing furiously* Um, wow, thank you! It's ... it's lovely. I ... um, would you like something to drink?

[dice_addict]

That would be awesome, Sara. Thanks tons for inviting me - it's amazing how well you've set everything up!

*takes her arm as if it's second nature, glancing around and asking her* Do you want to head to the bar to get a drink, or just drift around and play the role of gracious hostess? I'm sure everyone must be dying to congratulate their Prefect on her organizing skills.

[csi_sara]

Thank you for coming. I'm glad you like it. The room turned out exactly the way I hoped it would!

*lets him take her arm, enjoying being escorted by such a charming young man* Let's go by the bar, first. Looks like people are just starting to trickle in.

*walks with him to the bar*

You already know Walden, right?

[dice_addict]

I voted on his application, yeah, and thanks to your gentle powers of persuasion, changed my vote to Ravenclaw.

*offers Walden a warm grin, still having Sara's arm tucked over his own*

Nice to see you again- congratulations on making it into Ravenclaw!

[king_ofthe_mt]

*takes note of how... close Ryuuji and Sara are, slightly crestfallen, but does another shot and shakes it off*

I remember you, yeah. Thanks. *hands him a shot of Vodka* To be honest, I'm pretty surprised I made it in. But I shouldn't have worried. Sara took care of it. *smiles at her*

[dice_addict]

*wonders if it's quite safe to drink the vodka, due mostly to be a paranoid bastard -and having a seriously low alcohol tolerance- so settles for holding it and nodding agreement while giving Sara an easy smile as well*

Hey, you're welcome. You know how hard it is to turn down anything Sara's asking for. *winks at her* Especially when she's asking nicely.

*tilts head at Walden* How do you like in Ravenclaw so far?

[csi_sara]

*notes Walden's look*

We were lucky to get you, Walden. *smiles brightly at him* It was worth every bit of persuading. *winks*

*Takes another shot herself*

[king_ofthe_mt]

*to Ryuuji* It's alright. First day, just getting settled in. I like the never-ending supply of liquor. And of course, the pretty chic- I mean, women. *winks at Sara*

[csi_sara]

*blushes, and motions to a House Elf to refill both their glasses*

We'll also start quidditch practice in a few days, and that should be fun. I think Johnny's getting the hang of flying. I'm still not to fast, though. Definitely need the practice.

[dice_addict]

Yeah, Sara looks amazing tonight, even more beautiful than usual

*agrees readily, twirling Sara for a second the way they did on stage, adds lightly* You're as beautiful as you're intelligent.

*looks back to Walden* You know, I still haven't figured out what to do with Suneku's boxers. Any ideas?

[csi_sara]

*giggles* *can't believe she just giggled* Um, thank you, Ryuuji. *blush*

*twirls and laughs* That was fun! And you're as charming as you are handsome!

((OOC: Just now realized that I accidentally used my king_ofthe_mt lj name - 16 y/o Walden in another RP - Sorry!! Not gonna delete it though because I don't want to mess up the posting order))

*not caring for the competition he sees in Ryuuji, but is willing to fight*

You know, Sara, I could always teach you a thing or two. About flying, that is. *downs another shot, feeling quite brave if a bit buzzed, reaches over and brushes a lock of hair behing Sara's ear* I was, after all, Quidditch captain five years in a row. *lying, only made captain in his sixth year*

[csi_sara]

((OOC: No worries -- I for one enjoyed the view! ;) ))

Oh really? *notes pause, with interest* I do need flying lessons. *smiles and blushes when he touches her hair* We don't really have a quidditch captain, yet. I've been handling most of it, because I'm prefect, but if you're interested?

*Fills Walden's glass, and her own, but notices Ryuuji's is still full and gives him a questioning look*

[dice_addict]

*widens eyes, genuinely interested*

Really? Wow, that's awesome. Especially since Sara's the Quidditch Captain right now and I'm the Slytherin Captain at the moment.

*laughs lightly, gives Sara a wry smirk* Aren't you the lucky one, to have such an expert on the team. *mock pouts, looks thoughtful* ...How goes that song go again?

*twirls her once more, takes her hand dramatically and sings just a stanza from the song*

Luck be a lady with me
A lady never leaves her escort
It isn't fair, it isn't nice
A lady doesn't wander all over the room
And blow on some other guys dice
Lets keep this party polite
Never get out of my sight
Stick with me baby, I'm the guy that you came in with
Luck be lady tonight

*lets go of her after spinning her out dramatically, then bows to her and laughs* Frank Sinatra, I think.

[csi_sara]

*twirls again and almost looses her balance*

I think so, yes, Guys and Dolls. Good choice.

*weaves a little and takes another drink from one of the House Elves*

Ravenclaw needs luck - or else I'll have a snake on my cheek for a week.
