Aside from the obvious reason that Dahlia was debuting with her classmates today, Daffy had wanted to come to the ball today, simply to spend a little more time at a place that had once truly made her happy. Hogwarts held nothing but happy memories for her, even if everything was all in ruins now. She'd lost a little of that shine and it was exhausting trying to appear as if nothing was wrong. Maybe a little recharge was what she needed. According to everyone else, there couldn't possibly be anything wrong, even if she knew otherwise. She had still put on the bracelet, along with one of her favorite dresses, a simple light green one that was as comfortable as it was worn. There was no need for her to be fancy this evening, she was just here to be in the background, to support her sister and make it through the evening in quiet study of the castle. She tucked one lone, white dahlia into her updo tonight and that was all that she had done in her attempt to fade into the background

Of course that was too much to ask as she once again found herself accidentally face-to-face with Noble. This was never going to get any less jarring was it? For once, and she felt incredibly guilty about it, she would have preferred to run into the other Mr. Greengrass; at least speaking with Fortitude wasn't quite this painful."My apologies Mr. Greengrass, let me get out of your way." She passed him a tired half-smile; she did not have the energy for this tonight. Daff had insomnia to begin with and it was only exacerbated by her current state of mind. Trying to fake her way through a conversation with Noble was not in her capacity at the moment. Maybe she could steal away outside for some fresh air, that would help.
