About the dance, I'm going stag.

That way, I can dance with all the girls. And believe me, you never forget a dance with Tony Stark.

Speaking of things you can forget.
Steve, going stag, too?

[The following is sent to the students, trying to get around the teachers seeing it.]

Also, what are the chances of getting an after party going? Dances are great and all, but after parties are where the real fun starts.

[brothor]

Steve will be my partner!

[arrogantalloy]

Is this a cultural barrier thing for you?

You take girls to a dance. Unless that's what your getting at, in that case. It's about time I started rubbing off on you.

[brothor]

I'll take whoever I want to the dance! I would take you to the dance if you were not also a deer? I don't really understand that reference.

Don't rub off on me, I don't want you to touch me!

[arrogantalloy]

Deer? You know what. I'm going to work on a charm for non-English speakers for our terms.

Stag just means I'm not going with a date, Thor.

And hey, if you don't want me touching you, why are you not only always hitting me, but saying you'd take me to a dance?

[brothor]

Good. You should put your brain to use for once.

Aha! I do not understand why having a date is such a big deal anyway. Why do you make it a big deal, Tony?

Hitting on you? You mean punching you? I never said I wanted you to hit back. I don't see what that has to do with dancing.

[spangledplan]

Apparently I'm going with Thor.

[Why is this his life, seriously.]

[dou8letrou8le]

What kind of fun?

[arrogantalloy]

He's not taking you to that dance. I'll find you someone, really. And they'll be cute too.

[He would actually feel bad if Thor did drag him to the dance]

[spangledplan]

I don't see what's so bad about going to the dance with my friend. I'd spend most of my time with him anyways.

[arrogantalloy]

How can I have friends as socially inept as you? Really, tell me because I don't have a clue.

You go to dances with girls. And you dance with girls. Dances are all about girls, especially the ones you can dance with, dances that involve touching.

[arrogantalloy]

Unsupervised fun.

You know, partying that doesn't involve old withces and wizards watching over us, and ruining any fun we could be having.

[arrogantalloy]

If you're going "to the dance" with Thor, then you can kiss any chances you could have with a girl good bye. Is that what you want?

[arrogantalloy]

If I didn't use my brain, do you really think I would be in Ravenclaw, all I do is use my brain.

I'm not making a big deal out of it. If I was I'd be looking for someone to go with, but I'm not. That's the whole point of going stag, Goldilocks.

I'm just saying, you're the one who said you didn't want me touching you, but you're the one always touching me. Just calling what I see here.

[spangledplan]

I'm not inept, I just don't understand why going to the dance with a friend is such a big deal. Don't lots of people do that?

So what does any of that have to do with being with a girl?

[arrogantalloy]

If you're going as friends, then it isn't a big deal.

But if you're going as Thor's 'Partner' then that's what it has to do with being with a girl.

[spangledplan]

But we are going as friends. Because we're friends. It's really not hard to figure out, Stark.

[arrogantalloy]

Well fine, Rogers. Go as friends then. You know, I don't even know why I care.

[spangledplan]

If you're upset over this you can just come with us as well.

[arrogantalloy]

I'm not upset, why would I be upset. There is no reason for me to even care, what Gryffindor's do with their time.

It has nothing to do with me.

[Totally not in a huff in front of his journal]

[spangledplan]

But we're friends. Aren't we? Me and Thor just aren't good with girls and it's never fun to go to things alone.

[arrogantalloy]

You're not good with them. ABBA, just doesn't notice that he's noticed.

And I said I'm going alone. And I plan on having a lot of fun.

[There's a pause]

Of course we're friends, why wouldn't we be friends.

[spangledplan]

Thor's oblivious to everything.

You act like you hate me most of the time. And you're a prick.

[Is he using that word right???? He just doesn't know.]

So sometimes I don't think we're really close friends at all.

[arrogantalloy]

[Tony Stares at the reply for a few moments. An ink dot or two show up from the quill's dripping over the page then a few moments later]

Okay, yeah. I am, not going to try and deny that, there's more than one year that could stand up and say I am in unison.

If I hated you, I would be ignoring you or publicly humiliating you where ever I could.

If you pay attention, no one else gets treated like you do.

[Thor would get it too. But Thor punches too hard]

[spangledplan]

[Oh no now he feels bad.

But also mad.]

You insult me and tease me almost every chance you get. It might be worse than what other kids get, but that doesn't make everything okay.

Not to mention you could just treat everyone kindly and with respect.

[doctorkishitani]

Just out of curiosity, do you think the dance is compulsory?
