Halloween Haunted Castle Event! Open to Everyone!
While she wasn't particularly keen on parties, she was set on saving wildlife. Everyone else seemed to rake in the galleons by throwing large events, no matter the scandals that erupted from them, so why couldn't they? Nora had conservatory's committee for quite some time now, and being the youngest by a good forty years, had devised this plan as a new and fresh way of funding. It helped greatly that she had friends that had access to some of the best party planners (or that she could twist Charlie Spinnet's ear until he helped her out), and things seemed to have turned out well. So far.

For the brave at heart, there was a grand maze that made its way throughout the haunted castle. Guests would be offered clues to get themselves to the ballroom, and if they were truly lost (as Nora was sure was to occur), for just a small donation (it's for charity), any money dropped into a clue box would light up a blue path down the correct route to lead the way out. With all the Gryffindors that Nora had put on the guest list, she was sure they were going to triple their goal.

There was a simpler route than the maze, which was simply to walk through the double doors to the dance floor. Nora was currently wavering between the two, having run out of pamphlets to give out at the front entrance therefore giving her no excuse to join the festivities. She felt rather exposed, as Delilah had stolen her cloak, and when someone tapped her shoulder she jumped nearly a foot in the air.

"Bloody hell!" she let out, spinning around. "You scared the life out of me!"

Louis dropped his head back for a moment, wondering if he should make the effort to follow her. He tried not to mull over her words, as tonight was meant for disguises and putting aside your real world worries. He did not feel anything but excitement at the idea of pursuing things with this woman, this secretive, gorgeous woman, so was there really a reason for her to walk away, or was she simply playing hard to get?

He straightened his shoulders, deciding then that he did in fact want to see where this could lead. It was the most invigorating thing that had happened to him in months; the least he could do was see it out until the end.

Louis gave her a few moments to herself, attempting to not appear too eager. He didn't think he was, as he could easily accept another empty night as that was what he had been planning on from the moment he arrived. Also---maybe she did need the breath. Louis himself did not find it easy to talk to a woman when there was only one thing on his mind, so who knew if she was battling those thoughts as well? It was times like these where he wished his one-sixteenth Veela blood actually was of some use to him, in ways other than pickup-lines.

"It is too cold to be out here," he said as he came up to her. Louis tried to determine her expression, but behind her mask and her seemingly determination to keep away from him, it was hard. Feeling bold, he stepped to her side and put his hand on the small of her back. "You don't have to be."

The sound of his voice made her open her eyes, one of her hands lifting to be pressed against her stomach, almost as though she were trying to stop herself from feeling what she was feeling. There was a warmth in her belly that made it hard to notice just how cold it actually was, and him placing his hand on the small of her back did nothing but make that feeling spread through the rest of her body. It was such a simple gesture, and yet there was something so intimate about it...

This masked stranger was impairing her judgment, and fighting against her instincts was becoming a challenge.

She turned her head in order to look at him. While the outside temperature might have been low, his certainly was not - with his hand on her back, and their proximity so close, he was radiating heat, making her cheeks turn pink as she once again flushed. It wasn't because she was embarrassed, and she certainly wasn't shy; it was because he was making it very difficult for her to not be tempted.

"I barely noticed." She managed, though she seemed distracted. She was more focused on the feeling of his hand on her back and the smell of his cologne than she was the cold. "I may not have to be out here, but you probably shouldn't be. I'm beginning to think you may enjoy causing trouble, much like the phantom you're trying to emulate."
