Zane nodded. Yes that might be wise, everyone would probably already be distracted by dancing or food and we could just sneak in and blend in. Well as if that's going to happen... we'll have to be prepared just in case, well who knows what might happen...hopefully full on war will not break out. It would be nice just to have an evening to enjoy ourselves without checking over our shoulders every few minutes. Wow she's beautiful I...focus don't deviate from the task in hand. Well who cares? I'm taking Charlotte...I know. The two parts of the conversation seemed to finish each other's sentences, anticipating what the other was going to say.
The sudden change in facial expression made Zane smile, she must be having the same dilemma, not even able to insult him. He watched her as she stormed out of the shop whilst adding a small wave. Nothing could ruin his good mood today nothing. Well, what did he expect? He and Charlotte were the leaders of the New Order and the DE, it wouldn't be long before they were back to insulting each other. Yet, Zane had a feeling it would be harder for him to exchange insults with Charlotte, he would have the same problem as her, struggling to find the right words whilst battling with emotions and feelings.

Charlotte continued to stomp her way out of the store and down the street, she had completely forgotten about the real reason she had even entered the Weasley's joke shop. She groaned as she realized the things she was going to buy were now on the floor of the shop. She leaned against a rather large boulder and dropped her head into her hands. Great, now I have to walk back in there and face him after I just told him off. She pursed her lips, she needed to get a grip on herself, she was acting ridiculous.
She clentched her hands tightly, before promtly making her way back towards the shop. She held her head high and entered through the door, cringing at the sound of a bell. Just ignore him, get your things and leave. God, she was a sight. She took a deep breath of air as she made her way back over to where she departed from Zane. She picked up her things from the ground and was almost succesful in ignoring him comepletely before she took a quick glance at him from the courner of her eye.
She glared at him furious before she sighed and bit down on her cheek tightly, "Please tell me your feelings are just as confusing as mine are right now, and that you have the stronge urge to send me some form of curse. It would make me feel slightly, if any better, about this whole thing."
How could she do this, letting her feelings get in the way of what she needed to do. This whole thing would be so much easier if his views were like his sisters! Charlotte was looking to the ground now, she felt like hexing him...Well, part of her felt like hexing him.

Zane looked around the shop after Charlotte's swift departure. Well I have a partner for the Ball. I'm entranced by her beauty and yet I wanted to hex her at the same time. This would be so much simpler if she had the same views as the New Order. Why are things always so complicated? He stared at a quill whcih appeared to be writing swear words on the side of the box and two Pygmy Puffs making another break for freedom in the cage nextdoor. The bell above the door rung once more, making Zane look up.
Charlotte had reappeared as quickly as she had vanished, to pick up the fireworks from the floor. Zane looked into her eyes when she turned to face him. "Yes. I just don't know what to think, I'm torn between wanting to hex you and not. I'm glad your having the same issues," he smiled as he said this. That was a relief, it wasn't just him having the trouble with his feelings.
"So," Zane said trying to ease the tension, "I'm guessing you have your outfit sorted for the Ball?"

Charlotte just nodded at him, "Yeah, at least were both confused." She lost herself for a few minutes as she stared into his eyes. She despised the way he could just look her in the eyes like that. It was only a small relief that he was also having trouble with his feelings for her, because they shouldn't even be having these feelings for each other. She should have just stuck with one of her Slytherin offers, was not as complicated as this.
"Yes actually, I had something made for me by my godmother's dress maker. It's gold-ish, so," she fumbled for words under her stressed head, "Hopefully, if you have already gotten your dress robes, they'll match." She hated trying to remember the correct relationship with the Nott's it was easier to just say that they were her godparents, it wasn't necessarily a lie. She held the things in her hands tighter, everything would be so much easier if she was out of Hogwarts and officially ready to announce herself to the world. As long as the one who was giving her trouble this very moment doesn't do something about that as well.

"Yeah we'll match, my dress robes are black and my mask is gold, so that should go well..." Zane said quietly. At least it was becoming easier to speak to Charlotte now that he knew she was having the same problems controlling her feelings. Please don't let Kianthra find out, she'd kill me, literally. Well she would but Teddy will probably kill me first, he'll be so angry. I don't see why I can't be happy, after all he's asked Rosie, so why on earth can't I ask Charlotte? Of course his response would be, "I don't bloody well care," or something along those lines, well he'll just have to live with the fact that I am taking Charlotte to the Ball.
"Do you want to head back up to the castle? Actually, it might be best if the others didn't see us together, you know?" He just had to keep it a secret from Teddy and Rosie, just so long as they didn't know, everything would work out perfectly.

Charlotte just nodded, "Oh, that's good then," she replied quietly. She pictured entering the ball with Zane, they would be an amazing sight too. She let out a small smile a the thought, Oh, if Scorpious knew I was going with Zane he'd kill him...And then me, Noah and Kia would probably help, especially since it's her brother too. Not like she'd make it easy or anything to kill her, but still, not like they wouldn't try.
She nodded, "Yeah, I don't even want to think about what could happen if they saw us..." Even though she was thinking about it that very moment. "I have to buy these things anyways. I guess I'll see you there." She went to move and ended up giving him a weird form of a shoulder bump, elbow hug thing, very amusing if you were watching. She shook her head, "Bye Zane," she said quietly before giving him one last look and a small smile that was meant for him to see. "You know after this dance, your going to be getting one great big prank sent your way. Be ready." She let out another clear laugh before nodding in his direction and going off to the counter to buy her things.

"I'll be ready, don't you worry and yeah sure I'll see you there." he said quietly before heading for the door. He looked back over his shoulder before exiting the shop with the tiny bell above the door clanging as the door closed once more. Zane glanced through the shop window to see Charlotte buying her things at the counter. She's so pretty. He began the short walk back up to the castle, after all Rosie and Teddy were probably still in the Three Broomsticks, and he didn't want to ruin Ted's chance of asking Rosie to the Ball. Everyone who he walked past seemed to be talking about the Ball, it was the topic of the week. Hardly a minute passed by without someone mentioning what they were wearing, who had asked them, who they were going to ask, and all the other things associated with the Summer Ball.
He passed some other New Order members as he reached the grounds of the castle, greeting them with a friendly wave or smile. Even the glares he received from DE members could not dampen his spirits, he had a secret they would all die to know about, who was Charlotte going to the Summer Ball with? Zane alone knew the answer but of course he wasn't just about to shout about it from the top of the Astronomy Tower. Of course not, this had to be one of the best kept secrets. It was only a few days until the Ball, surely keeping a secret for three days wouldn't be too difficult, would it?
