Scenarios
① Ask Your Date to the Yule Ball - Invite that special someone or ask your best friend. There is nothing wrong with going as friends!

⑤ The First Dance - It's time for the first dance. Are you ready?

⑦ The Courtyard - Need a break from dancing and people? We get that. Go into the courtyard and get a breath of fresh air. Just be sure no teacher catches you making out with your date.
⑧ Wardrobe Malfunction - The absolute worst timing, a wardrobe malfunction! What do you do?
⑨ Chaperone - Are you a chaperone for the evening? How'd you get stuck with that gig? Better make sure the Marauders aren't creating havoc or spiking the punch!

A-DORABLE.

Although she had been minorly disappointed that Ted hadn't asked her to the ball, Andromeda had been thrilled when he'd asked her to dance and asked if he could walk her back to her House. She knew her sisters didn't fully understand her reasoning, nor did she ever try to make them understand or even expect them to, but Edward 'Ted' Tonks was simply unlike anyone else she spent time with.

He made her smile and he was very attractive on top of that. Unlike much of her family, though she never hinted at it knowing where that led, she didn't care much about whether he was a muggleborn or not. He seemed genuine which was more than she could say for many of the men her family wanted her to marry.

When he complimented her for the third time that evening, Andromeda grinned. "You have but I will never dismiss a compliment from you. You look very dashing this evening, Ted." She gave his arm a little squeeze, having slipped her hand into the crook of his arm as they walked. "And, I'm glad that you asked to walk me back."

After it was clear that Andromeda also remembered how many times he had already told her about how stunning he thought she was Ted looked sheepish, rubbing the back of his neck as he flashed her a grin, looking sheepish. That bashfulness seemed to intensify when she turned his compliments around on him, and Ted grinned foolishly.

"I figured there was no way you didn't have a date," he offered lamely, knowing there was no excuse for being as hesitant as he had been. Ted knew he'd gotten lucky that she still wanted anything to do with him after he'd failed to ask her.

Andromeda couldn't keep in the smile at the sheepish look that crossed Ted's face. It truly was no wonder why he had been sorted into Hufflepuff. Which wasn't at all a bad thing, especially not considering who Andromeda put up with on a daily basis. It was refreshing to be around someone (and be attracted to someone) who didn't seem to hide his emotions or hide what he thought.

She considered what she should say but instead chose to tell him the truth. "I had hoped that you would ask me," she admitted, looking at him with a perhaps shyer smile than she would ever admit to.
