Violet was glad she had her best friend to go with. She was nervous as hell even with their practices. She was sure she’d trip and fall and make a fool of herself dancing the first dance. She could at least trust that Remus wouldn’t let her down. She still felt the nerves flaring up in her chest making it hard to breath as she messed with her hair one final time and pulled at the light lilac dress. She rarely looked in the mirror this much as of late. She avoided them when she could hating what she saw but she was passable and she wasn’t trying to impress anyone. She took a breath and headed down the stairs carefully toward the Great Hall where Remus would probably be waiting on her and smiled when she saw him moving to hug him. “Thanks for coming with me.” she said softly to him feeling a little nervous seeing all of the other champions there.

Violet was taking a break from everything. She was having fun sure but also she was feeling odd being there. She didn’t feel like she should be one to party. She hadn’t done well in the first task and she needed to step up. She wanted to join to show she was just as good as any of the purebloods and halfbloods but here she was in last place. She should be in the library studying and should be practicing her spell work. She couldn’t waste her time at a party. The requirement was honestly the only thing that made her come and Remus was the only reason she stayed cause she basically promised him she’d have a different year, a different outlook. And she’d have fun here even when she was feeling nervous about everything. She was too in her thoughts when she tripped over her own two feet falling into another person her punch glass spilling all over them. “Bugger I’m so so sorry.”
