I hope everyone is ready for the dance because there's not much time left now until the big day! Be sure that you've got your costume and also more importantly your date in order because you definitely don't want to go without a date!

[Sophomores]

You're all ready for the dance right because if not say so now and we can band together to get you ready before it's too late!

Also did you guys notice the patronuses were there any that surprised you and also did you see the matching ones who do you think is in love? Maybe we should make a chart.

[Quentin]

You don't have a date for the dance, right?

Then why do you care?

Charlotte/Ari

[novelling]

Maybe I just thought you were more interesting than this.

Charlotte/Ari

Well Issy is the easiest target there is. Why were we picking on her if easy isn't interesting?

Charlotte/Ari

[novelling]

Because she asked me to the dance. Cole hasn't done anything half that pitiable.

Charlotte/Ari

[meerigold]

Cole sails through life and succeeds at everything with no effort of his own. That's enough to justify it.

Charlotte/Ari

[novelling]

So you're jealous of him.

Charlotte/Ari

[meerigold]

Someone so air-headed doesn't deserve to be good at everything. It feels good to knock him down a peg.

Charlotte/Ari

[novelling]

But you haven't. Say ten words to Isabelle and she'll have a meltdown. You could go on and on with Cole and it wouldn't even get to him. It's like talking to a brick wall.

Charlotte/Ari

[meerigold]

Issy is a target you pick when you're feeling lazy and want an easy win. I'm not throwing shade at you because I go after her for the instant gratification too. Then you get someone like Solo rushing in to her defense and it's a blast.

Cole's a tough nut to crack but sometimes kicking a brick wall can feel satisfying too.

Charlotte/Ari

[novelling]

I'm not looking for instant gratification. I stopped being mean to her for a month and she thought it meant I fancied her.

Charlotte/Ari

[meerigold]

Why were you mean to her in the first place if it wasn't for the instant gratification? Ever since she had that panic attack in front of everyone at Ilvermorny, I knew she'd be a blast.

Have we kicked her so low that she sees any sign of non-hostility as romantic intent?

Charlotte/Ari

[novelling]

At first, I wasn't. I barely noticed her at all before she threw that fit about the seance.

I'd leave her alone now too if she didn't invite it upon herself. I think she likes playing the victim.

Charlotte/Ari

[meerigold]

I can't believe she asked you out. Is she literally that lonely that she has to ask her hot, bitchy roommate to the dance?

Charlotte/Ari

[novelling]

Or that desperate. Who else is left to ask? Austin McNamara?

Charlotte/Ari

[meerigold]

Austin's too good for her.

She should've entered the date auction and let people pity bid on her. Harper had the right idea.

Charlotte/Ari

[novelling]

Or Cole. It is a little unfair that he's taking up Ramon's attentions.

Charlotte/Ari

[meerigold]

That's Cole's style: achieve something great with little effort and squander the gift. Ramon is too hot to be wasted on a "friend date". Those should be reserved for last minute, last resort options unless you're secretly in love with your friend and want to lock them in so nobody else can ask them. But I doubt Cole's even that calculating. He's just oblivious.

Charlotte/Ari

[novelling]

Yes, and he'd trip over himself to apologise if I told him I wanted Ramon for myself.

Charlotte/Ari

[meerigold]

Do you have a date yet? You should do it.

Charlotte/Ari

[novelling]

I'm patient. I can wait.

Charlotte/Ari

[meerigold]

You know what happened to the LAST pair of roommates that went together as dates to the Halloween dance?

If you like Ramon and he falls in love with Cole at the dance because you passed up an easy opportunity to steal him, you'll have no one else to blame but yourself.

Charlotte/Ari

[novelling]

No. Did they die?

Somehow, I don't think I'm at risk of that.

Charlotte/Ari

[meerigold]

No, they ran off to Ireland and ELOPED.

Okay, well don't have hurt feelings when it turns out that Cole is naturally gifted at winning Ramon's heart even though he slept through the dance.

Charlotte/Ari

[novelling]

And now they have four babies?

I won't.
