() "I can help you if you need my help! Aderyn () is also great at Herbology. I am sure we will end up working together in the future." Gaia's eyes sparkled when she said that. "Did you try the hat I brought you?"

"One of my fae talents is that I can grow plants easily and well - I'm sure we'll have no trouble growing them in time!"

Moving aside a few steps, she picked up a high fashion magazine and looked at some of the ballgowns in it, wondering how she could make them look even more magical for the ball if she were to wear one like that.

He donned on the top hat, looking in the mirror. "'Ey that looks like what I pictured. What you ladies reckon? Do I look fetching or ridiculous?"

Gaia handed Aderyn a few magazines. "This one is popular in Ireland. Lots of foresty style gowns."

"I think it looks great! It will work with whatever you choose to wear!"

"I think you look dashing! Like a right gentleman!"

Aderyn took the magazines and glanced through the them, loving some of the nature-y gowns; they'd be perfect for Emmy's dryad idea!

Beaming he said, "All right, that's settled I'll take the top 'at for sure. What are you going as Gaia? I wonder if they'll enchant some carriages to look like pumpkins and stuff?"

Beth had been busy looking through fairy tales and hadn't noticed the others. Embarrassed she greeted Adrien (), Aderyn (), Kendra (), and Aria ().

"I don't have a date for the Ball," she answered. ().

"I think you look very handsome, Magnus ()."

"Thank you, Beth," he said with a bow. "If me date don't mind, would be happy ta offer you a dance at the ball."

Aderyn smiled at Magnus and then turned her attention to Beth.

"What were you thinking of wearing? Any ideas?"

[IMG align=left]http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b174/theatticbox/Morgan%202.png[/IMG]Professor Morgan walked into the Great Hall with Professor Mathers to watch over the students for a time. The headmistress had other matters to attend to in showing the new groundskeeper and matron to their duties and had asked the rest of the staff to watch over the proceedings in shifts. Deidra and Jade sat behind one of the refreshment tables and chatted in low voices while the students perused the racks and shelves.

"That's so sweet of you to offer. I'd love a dance," Beth told Magnus () with a smile.

Beth turned to Aderyn () and replied, "There are so many great fairy tales. I don't know how I'm going to choose a character. I'm the world's most indecisive person."

[img align=left]http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac299/blissfuldaisies/Random/Ballprep2_zpsbb4xsorl.png[/img] "I can always enchant pumpkins for fun! We have some by the hut still!" Gaia turned around to see the professors coming in.

Gaia turned to Aderyn() "Professor Morgan just walked in! I will ask her about the flowers!" Gaia heard what Beth said "I don't have a date yet. I wonder if I will ask someone again this ball." Giggling to herself she walked over to the professor's table.

() "hello professor! I was talking over with some of my classmates and we where wondering if Aderyn and I could grow flowers for the ball. For those who have dates and making corsages. I know Greenhouse 1 is not used much during this time. Could we grow flowers? We can also grow so flowers for the hall decoration if you would like us to do that!" Gaia waited nervous and excited.

[img align=left]https://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b174/theatticbox/Morgan%202.png[/img]Professor Morgan turned her attention away from Professor Mathers and to .

"Yes, dear, that would be fine. Just make sure to only use greenhouse one and steer clear of greenhouses four and five!"

"What about going as Snow White, Beth? Maybe you could get Aderyn ta 'elp you enchant Moony with some glammer and make 'im look like a dwarf for the night?" He snickered at Gaia's excitement. She was something for sure. Then a little loudly so she could here it, "Or you could go as the frog Princess and 'ave lots of frogs hopin' round ya."

() Gaia smiled "Yes, professor! We don't want anyone to get hurt because of one of the plants/flowers there!" Gaia skipped all the way to Aderyn with the news () "We can grow our flowers! Greenhouse one. I think everything is there all ready so we can start tomorrow if you want! I do agree with Aderyn, Beth(). Snow White would be a great one for you!"

Gaia stopped and glared at Magnus() "You might end up having a bad day mister." Gaia stormed off to look at gowns away from Magnus.

The moment he said it, he regretted it. Damn, he'd done it. He followed after and said, "I'm sorry. Shouldn't've said it. Listen, maybe we could 'elp each other out... see... I'm afraid of griffins. I shouldn't've made fun cos I know how it feels. Whatdaya think about maybe we both 'elping each other? I try and 'elp you be less scared of frogs and you 'elp me with the griffins?"

Aderyn grinned brightly, excited about their permission to use the greenhouse.

"Sounds great! I'll look up muggle plant care tonight so we're ready to go with any non-magical flowers we'd like to grow!"

She nodded in agreement, smiling at Beth.

"I agree with Snow White, too - it's a lovely story, and I think you would look fantastic!"

Aria waved at Beth (), "Hi!" Aria smiled and continued listening intently to everyone talk about the festivities. Aria found a chair and sat down on it and began to lose herself in her own thoughts. I wonder if Dax will be able to come? It would be so cute to dress him up in a cute formal robe or some sort. While Aria was thinking this she giggled and looked at Dax who was preening in the center of the room. She looked for Magnus () and noticed he was standing far from Dax with a wary eye on him.

(OOC: I am running round trying to move/still work/take care of my family, so I might be late in responding.... I'm on for right now but I don't know how long it will last. I am taking a work break! I am so exhausted!!)

Millie made her way into the Great Hall with a giant plate of cookies she had baked the night before with the help of Aderyn (). She had already bought a dress and shoes but needed something more to help with her Rapunzel outfit. And she had a wide vast of knowledge of different Fairy Tales from all over Europe. She also brought her copy of The Brothers Grimm so other students could look through it for ideas. She hoped would come down so once she was finished, she could loan the book to her as she asked while shopping in Hogsmeade

Adrien gave a little wave to Beth and watched as Aderyn grabbed another magazine. He opened a book and answered Gaia, "No, no ideas yet. I don't even have a date, so I don't have to match anyone as of yet. Mind helping me out?" He looked up from the page and flashed a smile. "I could easily just fill the cliche and go as Prince Charming, but I have a feeling that'll be used quite a bit."
