Seeing Double Ball

Halloween was always an excuse for the most interesting of parties and tonight's society event was no different. Already the effects of the maze of mirrors could be seen in the dance hall as Harrison chatted idly to one of his business associates. A ghostly young woman in an outfit resembling some ghoul ran right and stopped as though hitting her head on an invisible wall, no doubt the real woman was elsewhere nursing a bruised forehead.

Harrison let the ghost go on about her business before turning his head to the dance floor, there were a few society types here, including several younger patrons who must not be long out of Hogwarts enjoying the tail end of their first summer season with chaperones not far away. He adjusted the white mask. He played the part of the phantom of the opera, it was probably a huge cliche of a costume but it suited him and he could quite easily play something more gruesome when he wasn't trying to play the part of the handsome single man.

Across the room he spotted a young woman that just drew the eye, there was a hint of recognition from somewhere, or perhaps it was the way she carried herself but it drew his eye from across the room and he lifted his glass and gave her a polite wave to get her attention. He said a few words before given a pat on his arm by his friend and making a move that Matilda Farris would hopefully recognise was in her direction. Of course if she gave an indication that she did not wish for his approach, he would make his direction elsewhere, but if she should appear welcoming he would introduce himself.

"Good evening, I'm Harrison Knight, it's a pleasure to meet you, would you like to dance?"
