The story goes: they first met when they were randomly assigned to be project partners in a class that neither of them liked. After that presentation on Wild Men in the Middle Ages, they sat next to each other in class, but they were just class-friends (although she did tell her mom that she thought he was cute!). Two years later, they met again at CWRU's annual Yule Ball. He went because he loves Harry Potter and wanted to talk to people. She went with her friends as a joke. When a mutual friend brought him over to where she was sitting, she may have shouted "We were project partners!" in his face (he confirms this to be true). He liked her sparkly makeup, and she still thought he was cute. Later, her friends all abandoned her to go get drinks, and that was when he swooped in. They talked all night long and even went on a Harry Potter quest together. At the end of the night, neither got each other's contact information because they were too awkward, and so her number was obtained through a mutual friend. The rest is history and the future, and they know that they owe it all to Yule Ball and Wild Men in the Middle Ages.
