ShareAnd that's exactly what Jake and Luna did. Did they go out there and put on an absolutely amazing performance despite their total lack of skill? No, no they did not.

Was it three agonizingly long minutes of the entire crowd mocking the four Gryffindor students? Yes, yes it was.

But just as Jake had said, once their painful lack of talent was finished being put on display for the first song, most of the students soon forgot about it as they all took to the dance floor themselves.

Come morning most the students would be too hung over to even remember half the night properly anyway.

Once the focus was off of them, and being surrounded by a bunch of other people on the dance floor, Jake started having quite a bit of fun with Luna as they danced away to the past few songs.

A couple songs in, Jake felt a tap on his shoulder. "Mind if I cut in for a bit?" A recognizable and welcome voice whispered in his ear.

Jake turned around with a smile. "Serafall, what are you doing here?" he exclaimed happily.

"Well, I couldn't exactly allow my possible future boyfriend to experience his very first dance without me there, could I?" Serafall teasingly said as she stepped up next to him and took her spot as his dance partner.

Luna, meanwhile, was happy to take a break and made her way over to the punch bowl.

"It's good to see you again, Serafall," Jake smiled at her.

"Did you miss me oh so terribly?" She smirked as she pressed herself up against him in a teasing manner.

"Just a little bit," Jake lied. "There were plenty of other things to keep me occupied for the past couple of weeks, though."

"Oh, I heard," Serafall's cheerful expression momentarily switched to a frown. "I heard all about your little adventure with the young Sairog Bael. Thanks for protecting him and his mother from that assassination attempt, even if it wasn't necessary."

"So, the little guy's mom, her power was off the charts," Jake said, still in awe even after all those weeks passed. "Is she an ultimate-class in power?"

Serafall nodded. "Indeed, you'll find that a lot of the older generations that survived the Great War are at the ultimate class. They just don't go around advertising it.

Shockingly, one of the few who isn't and has remained high class is your father," Serafall said teasingly.

That made Jake smirk as they continued dancing. "Wait a minute," he said. "Are you telling me that my dear old dad, who's however many hundreds of years old, isn't any stronger than me, a 16 going-on 17 year old teen?"

Serafall just smirked back at him. "You are correct. He just spends all day playing with his harem and not really doing much to manage the clan.

It would actually be your stepmother, I'd say, who really wears the pants in the Gremory house! She happens to be a high-ultimate class being, and if it wasn't for your older brother and her, your old man Zeo would have been overthrown as the clan head long ago.

Serafall elaborated. "However, it's not completely unheard of for members of the main pillar families to challenge their elders in order to become heads of their clans.

" She hinted towards Jake. Sirzechs couldn't do it because he had taken the Lucifer title, but there were surprisingly no laws preventing a half devil from challenging a clan head. Probably because it had never happened before.

They continued their dance through a couple more songs as Jake pondered that information. "So, does that mean as his son, I could challenge him for the clan head position?" Jake asked her.

"Indeed, you can," Serafall said with a nod. "However, you have to wait until you are 18 years old. You have to be an adult and all that to be a clan head." She elaborated.

Jake just gave Serafall a sultry grin. "Well then," he said in a low tone. "It seems that I have multiple things to look forward to when I turn 18," he said, to which Serafall let out a small giggle.

Once their fourth song came to an end, the pair decided to take a break and go look for Luna, who had left them to their own devices for about 15 minutes.

They eventually found her by the punch bowl with a flask in her hand, emptying its contents completely into the bowl.

"Holy shit, Luna spiked the punch!" Jake exclaimed, shocked.

Serafall just laughed. "Good for her. I didn't think she had it in her. Also, where does a 13-year-old girl get a flask full of whiskey in a boarding school?"

They approached the girl, who had just finished emptying the flask into the punch, and she quickly stuffed it back into her bag. "Oh, hello, you two." She said completely nonchalantly.

"Are you finished dancing now? I just had something small to take care of here." She gave them both a small smile.

"Yeah, we saw," Jake deadpanned at her. "Not that we're against some good old spiked punch, but do you mind if we ask why you specifically were the one to do it?

" Serafall was also intrigued. She hadn't spent a lot of time with Luna when she had "attended" the school for a few weeks, but from what Jake had spoke of the girl, that wasn't exactly her modus operandi.

Or maybe it was considering this was also the same girl who slipped poison ivy into her bully's laundry…

Luna gave them both a dreamy, knowing smile. "Oh, come now. I don't want to spoil the surprise. Nobody likes that, not even the Silcontarkles, and they like the opposite of almost everything we do... Care for some punch?" She asked while scooping a small cup for herself.

"Sure," Jake said as he took a cup and scooped himself a large amount with the ladle.
