It began to bleed heavily.

"Why didn't you tell me you were getting married?" he asked, then extended his arm and said "Congratulations, by the way. I need to meet the lucky girl!"

" You know me, just a ladie's man" Rex laughed. " You know I can see through yoru smiles" Rex said to Emily. " The smile you are trying to hide is a good smile" Rex told Emily. "So what good thing is happening or happend to you?" Rex asked Emily.

"Dahlia its okay, she will be fine" Panicking would not help the situation and it was taking every bit of mental strength Alice had to keep herself calm!

She backed off to watch Willow approach the Staff table and frowned to herself. She wasn't normally panicky. It had to be the stress of the first day, that's all.

She stifled a yawn and surrupticiously checked her watch. This was a long feast; bed sounded really good right now.

Maybe when the time was right, she would tell her about her crazy messed up family. Well, maybe not the whole story. Wouldn't want to make the girl pass out, now would we?!

Phew, relief. Fee said she didn't think Alex could tell she was totally falling for crushing on him. And Fee was his best friend, so she'd know everything, right? Right?! Ellie raised her eyebrows and laughed. "When we get together?" She asked in a bewildered voice. "Jeez, someone has to make the first move before anything can happen..." She mumbled. It couldn't be her. Girls didn't make the first move, didn't they? That was a guy thing right...? She hoped so, she was terrible at making "moves". "And what makes you so sure that will happen?" She asked with skepticle eyes.

Ellie laughed at Fee's puppy-dog eyes. Ohh not the puppy-eyes card! Anyone could fall for that. Hmph. "Innocence doesn't lie!" she joked. And oh yes, those Slytherins were known for lying. Pff, except for not. All the ones she'd met were extremely nice. Stereotype fail. "Oh, Fee." she said laughing. "You can pull those on the quidditch pitch, but we Ravenclaws are smart. We won't fall for it." she winked at the blonde. Score for intelligence.

Ellie smiled, glad he was finally saying more than a few words to her. Hopefully she didn't scare him. "You're welcome. I know the first year can be rough. Just wanted to help you out." She said with a smile and a wink. Call her Ellie, the school psychiatrist. Eh. Or not...

"It's very nice to meet you, Winston. My name is Ellie." She introduced with a smile.

She helped herself to a plate of food and propped a book up behind her plate to read as she ate. She paused a moment before starting to take in the interesting dynamics at the staff table. She was considering going to say hello, but she wasn't as sure now...

" I knew you were at the Gypsy Villiage" Rex told Emily. "So is rhere divination class different than HogWart's divination class?" Rex asked Emily.

Emily smiled "Say rex should you and your fiance be bored over the summer you should apparate on by and get your fortune told by yours truly. On the house." Emily offered. any friend of hers got their fortune told for free.

The blonde just shook her head at Ellie, did she really not see how much Alex was fallining for her? That couldnt be,it was sooo obvious.Siiiiigh.Oh but then the Ravie girl mumbled something."I know first moves are hard",she whispered only for Ellie to hear,"but its worth a try, i am sure."On the other hand the Slytherin could totally understand her, Fee would never make the first move.That was such a guys thing to do.But till Alex realized what was going on it could take ages.Maan noo."Trust me, i know it",the second year winked.She couldnt just tell her, they had to figure out on their own.Playing the match maker never ended in a good way.



"I dont lie",Fee chuckled,"cant you see that in my eyes?"Oh yes, noone could resist the puppy eyes.Goood weapon.Hehe."Just because i am a Slytherin",she laughed,"then i could say you are nerdy."What Ellie wasnt because she was a cool kid."You wont?",the girl raised an eyebrow,"are you sure?" Maybe she should try that with the guys?Sneaaaky Fee.

Oh wait, these thoughts were so weird and worse than that; they were soo creepy! He actually kind of scared himself...

She called him a dog... Erm, was that a good thing? Did she think of him as her pet or did he smell bad perhaps? Nah, of course he didn't smell bad it must be the hair. His ruffled hair yes that had to be it. Or perhaps people just randomly said that to people. Whatever she meant he decided to just stand there and grin like a mad man. Ooh then she got a shifty expression, so very shifty. He smirked at her when she said that she liked his idea of sneaking out. "Ah you do now? It's a date then?" he winked. People said that, called meetings with their friends date, this didn't necessarily mean something unless Ellie took it like that then yes he meant it like that. Heh, sneaky.

"No don't be sorry." he smiled, never did he want her sorry for anything. He chuckled when she got a dreamy expression on her face, that was just so cute um... cute oh whatever it was cute. Oh yes he'd thought it. "Well I told you I'll take you there someday. So you can see for yourself." he winked. Wouldn't it be so amazing to show Ellie around New York? The answer would be yes, yes it would be totally amazing.

Did she stare? Yes she did, he must have said something wrong. He immediatly started to search his brain for the last thing he'd said to her, nope nothing was found in there. Well of course things were found in his brain kind of... Onwards! but not the right things. Then she blushed, aw he loved when she blushed. What to do except squishing her into a hug? Smiling. Yeah smiling always worked. "Ah really? Well that's good then." he smirked. So they both were standing where they wanted to and they both wouldn't want it any other way? This was sounding good to Alex' ears.

Huhwhatt?! Date..? Did she hear correctly? Alex just said date?! She couldn't hold back the grin that was stretching across her face. "Date?" She asked, making sure that's actually what he said. "Date, yeah. It's a date! She said, trying (and failing) to hide her enthusiasm. Keeep your cool, kid. "So... When shall we have this date?"[/b] She asked with a wink. Y'know because to go on a date, a date needs to be chosen to date on. Date, date, daaaaaate! He said date! [/ecstatic]

She blinked, still smiling. Yes, she remembered when he told her he'd take her to New York, but that was the day they met. She didn't really know if he was serious. But he was! Right...? "Wow. I can't wait, then. I bet it's beautiful!" She said blushing a little. Oh stooopp. How great would it be to tour New York with Alex? Answer: aammaazziinngg.

She felt like jumping up and down and tackling Alex in a bear hug. But that wouldn't be mature, would it? And Ellie was very mature. "Yeah, that is good then, isn't it?" She said trying not to blush again. [b]You know, I still believe what I said in Knockturn Alley to be true. About you..." She said, smiling.

"The sneaking out?" he asked and glanced towards that man by the staff table. Ik.. Ikan... Ikea, something. Perhaps Ellie and him had run into enough weird types together. "How about we do it by the rules this time?" he chuckled looking back at her. Well at least almost by the rules that was as far as he could go. He would try. "That means, no running into weird men that steal locks from your hair." because really, who wanted that?

"Yeah, I mean you'd fit right in." he smiled before he could stop himself. Oh no... That sounded so totally cheesy. He hadn't meant to say it really he just blurted stuff out at random when he was with Ellie. He wouldn't really be surprised if he started yelling old quidditch results all of a sudden, he just did really weird things when she was near him. "I mean with the um... buildings..." alright he had tried to make up for the cheesiness but it just got worse. Why did he start talking about buildings right after he'd told her she was beautiful? Eh... Merlin only knows.

He plopped down on the bench next to her grinning at a few Ravenclaw firsties that looked terrified at the appearances of a Slytherin by their table. "Don't worry blue birds, I don't bite." he smiled reaching over to snatch a grape. "Much..." he added low before returning his fully attention to Ellie. "What you said about me in Knockturn Alley?" Hmm... What was that now? "That you'll win a tickle fight?" he scoffed and laughed. "Oh please Ellie that will never happen." He was The Tickle Monster.

She looked back at him and laughed lightly "Yeah, pretty soon I'll run out of hair for them to steal." Nervous laugh. She reached up behind her ear and touched the hidden bald spot. No. No, no. It was not a bald spot. It was merely... hairless. Something about it worried her. It had been a couple weeks since thier encounter with the man in Knocturn Alley. But her hair hadn't started to grow back yet. No stubble, nothing. Major frown. She'd wondered if she should tell Alex, or go have the nurse fix it. But she didn't. It was just charmed off, right..? "Going by the rules sounds like a good plan to me. And if I remember correctly, it was all your idea to take a casuall stroll through Knocturn Alley." So when the day came that she was completely bald hairless from old age, she would blame Alex. Yep.

She'll fit right in with the buildings? Er... Was that a fat joke?! Kidding. She raised her eyebrows and laughed at him. He had an interesting way with words. Not exactly what she had in mind by "fitting in", but whatever. "I'll fit right in with the buildings. Alright, Alex." She said with a smirk, teasing him. She took a sip of water, trying to hide her smile. Silly, silly boy.

She smiled as he sat down and reasurred the cute wittle firsties that he didn't bite... Much. She thought back to their previous conversation about biting people and laughed to herself. Okay, so her winning a tickle fight, wasn't exactly what she was referring to. But that works. She dropped her jaw dramatically. "Excuuuse me? The only reason you won was because..." Because... why? "I was.. Unprepared!" And they just so happened to be in the creepiest place on earth. "I will beat you, Alex Reed. Just you wait." She said with a huge grin followed by a trademark wink. Soon enough, she would rightfully win the title of Tickle Monster.

He laughed and shook his head. "Nothing bad has ever happened before to me there. It was you who drew that man to us. You're a... A... Man-magnet." Heh yeah.... *dreamy face*

Noo... That wasn't what he meant, he meant that New York was a beautiful city and she was a beautiful girl so it was a good combination. He did not mean she would fit in with the ancient buildings. Faacepaalm. "Yeah that wasn't what I meant." he chuckled and scratched his neck glancing around them once. No one heard him offend the girl he liked in front of him right? Phew. "You have a way of taking almost everything I say the wrong way, you know." he remarked. What he said and what he meant was soo totally obvious. Totally.

Yes she had been talking about the tickle fight... He'd had the crazy notion of her remembering she'd told him they crushed on each other but noooo. Nope, nada. Forgotten. Great.... His fingers twitched slightly, why did he feel the urge to take the chicken on the table and just bury his face in it? Because he felt like a total failure and with his face buried in the chicken nobody would see him because he couldn't see anyone. That was a brilliant plan! Yet he didn't reach for the chicken. The firsties could continue nomming on it. They looked like savages. Gaaah he needed to clear his mind and return his focus to Ellie from the animals firsties. He was a little scared of them sometimes... The animals that was, not the firsties... Clearing of Alex' mind; Done! "Please, Ellie you could never beat me in a tickle fight. I wouldn't even call it a fight." he laughed.
