"It...it was?" she asked. "Harvey I....." before she could say anything he had moved closer to her and hugged her. The feeling of his arms around her filled her with......who knows what it was. But it wasn't bad. Not at all. It was good. It was amazing. Brilliant. Mind blowing. Everything..
She put her arms around him as well, and squeezed him tightly.

Harvey smiled "It was!" he said,.. LIAR!! the voice in his head said.. he then held onto her to make her feel better. and he then felt arms around him and saw that Ronnie was huggin him.

"Okay." she said, resting her cheek on his shoulder. "I hope you're being truthful..." she said sighing. She had a feeling they would be breaking up soon, all her thoughts of that stupid wedding. Washed away. What would she do without him?! She'd be broken hearted. She wouldn't be able to do ANYTHING. She wouldn't be able to eat, sleep, breath, exist. She'd die. The thought scared her. She shuddered. Ugh. No Harvey in her life? NO WAY. She wanted him FOREVER. . .why'd Minnie have to be so pretty and her be so....ugly?

Nate laughed and shook his head, swatting Pam's hands away from his stomach. "No, Jez. The Hunger Games trilogy is an old book series from about sixty years ago. You can read it when we get home, both Pam and I own all three books, and they're very easy to read. A bit unsettling though..." But I'll be right there all summer.

A puzzled look came over Nate's face, his brow furrowing. "Eat before a feast? That doesn't make any sense, Jez," he said, though he was beginning to wish he had. Nothing against house elves, but they'd better get to work, people could get hurt around here with all the hungry kids, loose mischief making things, falling banners, and who knows what else...

Harvey smiled "Of course I am!!" he said.. I just to think about what I want thats all... is it you or her? major thinking to be done.. I dont want to hurt you.. why me??? I have to choose between two very cute.. funny girls... What do I do?

"Okay," she said. "cutie." she added, stroking his back. "I was kinda scared there..." she said quietly. "That....I might lose you or something." she said. "But maybe I am going to....." she added in her head. She winced. She'd hate that. More than anything. She'd rather get attacked by a dragon than break up with him.

Elliot scowled. Caelius was always a word-warrior. She loved it. She loved word wars!
"Me? tickled? Never, Caelius. And who ever said you graced me? Ah, it is YOU who should be HONORED that I even respond to your...less than significant chatter..." she replied snootly, turning up her nose. Caelius probably knew she wasn't exactly seriously being a snob, for her eyes sparkled far too playfully.

And his smug comment made her raise her eyebrow. Hmph.
"No, Caelius, I simply noticed a lack of noise that some call your ever-lovely voice," she fired back, keeping her face as serious as ever. After staring at him for a few moments, she let out a smirk and chuckle. Oh, Caelius.

Jez raised an eyebrow. "You're looking at the girl who ate Kneazle droppings for two Galleons and a packet of Bertie Botts' Every Flavour Beans. This book'll have to be pretty bloodthirsty to unsettle me." She meant bloodthirsty metaphorically, not literally. She hoped ... "I'll read it, if I have time," she said, grinning. "We'll probably be pretty busy, though." She liked being busy, especially if it was doing fun things.
"It makes perfect sense," dismissed Jez. "It's just not common sense. It's Jez sense." Which was so much better than the normal kind, of course ...

Harvey smiled as she called him cutie.. that was more like the Ronnie he knew.. then he winced.. she thought that way "You are not going to lose me." just yet he added in his head "I am afraid Miss Ronnie Weasley that you are stuck with me.." he held onto her as he smiled at her.. he kissed her head to make her feel better

"Okay." she said a little hope in her voice. "Well good, I'd hate to not have to be stuck with you." she said hugging him tighter and kissing him lightly on his lips.

Harvey smiled "Good!" he said still holding her "I would hate it too!" he said as she kissed him on his lips.. oh just kiss her back! that way she will believe every word you say.. a voice in his head said. No I wont kiss her just to make her believe me.. I will kiss her because I want to... With that he softly kissed Ronnie.

Ronnie let out a little smile. "Ronnie, do you think he really cares? Of course not. He's just trying to-" the voice in her head that didn't belong to her was speaking again, but she cut it off. It was a liar and she didn't believe it. Harvey loved her...she was 88% sure. But she loved him more than he'd ever know. Her eyes widened as he kissed her back, and she pulled his head back towards hers and kept on the kissing. Who cared what the professors said, and who knows. This might be her last...kiss...ever........from Harvey.....

As Harvey kissed her he felt her kiss him back. Oh he was relieved that she did.. it showed that she believed him.. he was going to stay with her now. After a little while he stopped kissing and he grabbed her into a hug "Oh Ronnie.. I love you.. thank you for being with me.. you changed me into who I am today.. otherwise I was a broken toy.. beyond repair,, but you repaired me." he said as he continued to hug her.. This would give him some time to think.. he loved both girls, he cared about both girls.. what to do? well stick with Ronnie, she will make you forget Minnie just like she did before, she did it once she can do it again.

SPOILER!!: Vashti ♥

Merlin, why were there so many awesome people leaving this term? Vashti offered a little smile and wave in case they looked in her direction. She'd go over to them once she was done saying good-bye talking to Caroline.

Looking down the table, she noticed Vashti and smiled back with a small wave. Mina was going to miss her fellow chaser and friend. In her time there, she felt that she really connected with the 'claw and she knew that Vashti; along with Ellie, would keep on carrying on the torch that was passed on to her from Cela and Nia.

SPOILER!!: The Bestie♥

He was a stubborn Gryffindor like that.

And now that they were friends again... "So... if we're right... in about a week Anya is going to be getting her letter from Hogwarts and her visit from the Ministry wizards. I do believe that you owe her a few days of summer." And Mina was never one to break a promise. "I might even be able to sneak away from work for a bit." And it would be just like old times...

"And you'll have to let me know when Evan's matches are."

He was going to make sure they made up for lost time. Well... as well as they could with both he and Evan playing sports.

Carter smiled. "Well I look forward to meeting you again on the pitch." He was beginning to feel better about leaving. He did have a lot to look forward to. He just... was too overwhelmed with the fact that he was leaving. He'd be on the Hogwarts Express for the last time tomorrow. And tonight was the last night he'd ever spend up in the Gryffindor tower.

Okay. Happy thoughts. Happy thoughts. He needed to think happy thoughts. Like... how everyone promised to visit him. That was something to look forward to. "Same here." he said with a nod. He was excited to see everyone again. It made leaving the castle much less... devastating...

Holding on tightly to her bestie, Mina sighed in happiness; well as much happiness that was possible at a moment like this. They were about to enter the real world and that was pretty scary, at least they would being doing it together now. Hearing that she was again stuck with him, she playing poked him. "You know I have no problem with that, at all. But you are as stuck with me as I am with you." They did share a bond that she knew would always connect them and she would always carry a part of him in her heart until the day she died; that's what being best friends meant.

Looking up at him, she smiled. "You know that I would miss seeing Anya for the world!" She always had a feeling that Anya had magic in her and she was excited to be there for the little girl when she fully became aware of the magic side of the world. "You know I'm going to have a field day shopping with her and we have plans for a picnic and ice cream in the park." A summer wouldn't be the same without that and she knew that she owed the little girl at least one picnic and some kite time. "I'm sure that you can be sneaky like that or maybe they will allow you out on good behaviour." She really did hope it was possible. She did want to have at least one more moment of what it used to be like.

Smiling at the mention of her boyfriend, she nodded. "You will be one of the first people I'll be telling about his matches." She would love the company at any of the matches. Being there with just the spouses and the signifcant others of Evan's teammates was getting to be a bit fake to her. Yes, she did like them all, but she wanted to be there with friends and have some fun.

Text Cut: Captain ♥

Both the cups? Ellie only really wanted one. The Quidditch Cup was all she truly cared about. Yet, it was Mina and she was crying and everything and Ellie just wanted her to be alright. "I'll try. I'll do you one better and try for all three." Cause she was pretty good at Gobstones.

And Mina was wrong by at least one ickle thing. "You surpassed the awesomeness, Mina." Or at LEAST matched it. The Seventh years before Mina that Ellie knew weren't any better than her. Which, weren't many, but STILL.

Also, she'll try for cool Ravenclaw parties. But everyone knows that without Becca and Nia and Jacob, parties aren't anywhere near epic. It was just impossible. Unfortunately.

She turned to Carter. Who...could have a seat, you know. "I'll let you know who I end up playing for." Nod. Though, he probably wouldn't hear about that for...a long time. Because Ellie had no idea yet, and had at least another year to decide. So...he could wait. Hopefully he was patient. Or didn't care enough. That worked as well.

"When's the first game you're playing in?" Ellie could try and go to that one. Among many others. But his first would be especially awesome.

Vashti's wave was seen from the corner of Ellie's eye. And returned. They...the Ravenclaw team...from Ellie's first term, which was her favorite team ever no offense to the current, should all get together this summer. It needed to happen.

Looking back to her captain, she smiled and shook her head. Ellie was just saying that to make her feel better and at that moment she needed it. She did know that she really was being silly but she was so overly emotional about her last feast at their house table with her friends and her very last night in the Ravenclaw Tower. She had many amazing memories there and she just wasn't completely ready to let them go yet.

Smiling at the mention of the third cup, she nodded and dried her eyes completely. "You just keep on being awesome and do what you can. Our house is a team and a team works together. Just whip those silly firstie and second years into shape next year." Seriously, if anyone could do it; she knew that Ellie could get a fire lit under some of those youngsters.

"I'm only as awesome as the company I keep and that is saying a lot." The people she did keep close to her were pretty epic and awesome, Ellie especially.

The banners began to fall from the ceiling, landing on the heads of the students below.

Just as she was about to speak again, she heard giggling and then the sound of fabric falling. Looking up, she blinked and moved over slightly to avoid a banner.

"Of course I'll right to you Cael, I can't actually imagine being without you lot!" Jordan said, "I'm going to miss this place so much. And because all of my friends apart from Faina are in Ravenclaw, I'm actually thinking of resorting next year!" he finished with a grin.

'Hey...what's wrong??', Namitha asked..She gave her a warm and sweet smile...

'Ohhh..Nimma...what happened, Namitha asked..'Anything wrong??'

Nate looked down, slightly ashamed of what he was about to say. "I meant that... There's a lot of death, and the main character ends up losing her entire family. Including her little sister. Sorry..." he whispered. Nate didn't want to make Jez think about her family, especially not at the feast.

Nate looked at Jez admiringly. "You invented your own brand of sense? That's awesome. Truly," he said, thinking up a response. "Does that mean that every time somebody else uses it they owe you a royalty?

Pam looked around as Nate continued to talk to Jez. Anyone who saw her would think she was looking for a friend. But she wasn't. And If she had told anyone about her dream, they'd know it too. She was looking for the two ghostly figures that had haunted her and her friends the night before. Thankfully she couldnt find them. Satisfied, she rested her head on the table. If she didn't get food, or a distraction, soon, shed end up starving to death. And she preferred to make it through her first year.

Presley shook her head. "Why can't a year at Hogwarts ever be normal? Something weird always happens." And it seemed that Presley was always somewhere in the thick of it. If it wasn't for the fact that Leo had told her crazy stories about his Hogwarts years, Presley might have started to believe that she was somehow the cause of whatever was happening. Last year, the hallway she'd been wandering frequently had ended up with bloody messages on it's walls, and as one of the only students ever allowed access to Bentley's private shed, she was legitimately worried when it caught flame.

Presley looked down at her barely touched plate, and quickly scooped another forkful daintily into her mouth. She looked over at Elliot, and thought briefly about how far the two of them had come over the past year. For as long as she could remember Presley had detested Elliot Morganzo. and even at the beginning of this school year, the whole school knew of the emnity between them. However, just the other day Presley had invited Elliot to go on a vacation with her.

They got along, and sometimes even enjoyed each other's company. The strangest part of it was, it wasn't strange. Maybe it was because they had been raised in similar environments. Kids needed people who understood their situation, and Elliot understood Presley. She knew not to ask questions when Pres didn't want to tell, and she never told secrets. It worked the other way too. Presley knew what was going on with Darius and Elliot, but she didn't say anything about it, and she didn't ask. "Remeber when we used to hate each other?" she asked Elliot. Then she quickly ammended, "I'm not saying that I like you by any means," she smiled quirkily. "But we do get along much better than we did not even a year ago."

Cael grinned when she took the bait; Elliot always gave as good as she got.

"Less than significant?" he cried putting a hand to his chest in faux-pain. "You wound me madam! I think you'll find many of the things I say to be quite... significant," he gave a little eyebrow waggle for emphasis.

He snorted at her next comment, lifting his chin and tilting his head until his profile caught the light from the candles floating overhead. Sweeping a hand through his hair, he sighed dramatically. "Calling me ever-lovely? That they do, my dear Elliot, that they do. I shall hence forth be known as Caelius the Ever-Lovely. Bow down before me lesser mortals," he made a settle motion with his hands as if placating an invisible crowd of admirers.


Cael blinked. Resorting?

"Wow! Good on ya, mate. I didn't even know that was possible. As long as it makes you happy I'm sure the Eagles will welcome you with open... er, wings," he laughed, patting Jordan on the back.

Cael chuckled, bringing the back of her hand to his mouth and lightly kissing her fingers. "I appreciate you always, lovely, but I guess they do say absence makes the heart grow fonder. I'll be sure to give you my floo address before we leave, though," he smiled rubbing his thumb lightly across her skin.

"And my guardians love you more," he winked, snagging a piece of fruit off her plate with the tip of his fork and popping it into his mouth before she could protest.

Jordan laughed, "Yeah my Grandfather told me about it," he said to Cael. "Only a few manage to do it though, but I think I'll be able to persuade the headmaster and sorting hat!" he smiled. "How are you and Jayden doing?" he asked, "Still going stong I hope!"

Ryan walked up to a Lonely Ravenclaw and sat down next to her.''Hello,My name is Ryan.''He said proudy.''Do you want a choclate frog to cheer you up.''

Jez's face tightened slightly. Oh. She hadn't actually thought about unsettling in that respect. Losing her whole family, including her little sister ... she could relate. Jez closed her eyes to block out the things that were swirling around in her head. It was better to build a wall, pretend they weren't there, than to acknowledged the thoughts, memories and emotions.
But she had to tell Nate something, the one thing that had plagued her mind since she'd gotten that note. Opening her eyes, she looked him in the eye. "I want to find them," she said quietly. "I want to find the people that killed Than and my parents and my siblings. And I want to make them feel a little of the pain I've felt." Revenge, in other words. Jez badly wanted revenge.

Jez laughed at Nate's question. "No! But it's basically doing the opposite of common sense. So if not eating before a feast is common sense, then eating before a feast is Jez sense! You see?"

Nate looked at Jez sympathetically, but shook his head. "No. Not yet, at least. We have too much to look forward to. Otherwise, I won't let you. Not without me, at least..." Nate said, the fact of the matter finally sinking in.he wanted revenge, too. But not because of the loss of life, necessarily. Nate wanted revenge because of the pain it had caused Jez.

A smile returned to his face yet again as the subject shifted back to Jez Sense ©Jezabel Black. "I get it now. You really should copyright that or something. Then people will have to pay you if they use it."

Jez nodded. "Okay. You can have a go after I'm finished with them - though I doubt there'll be anything let by that time." Her voice was hard and cold. These people were going to pay dearly for the murder of her family, she was going to make sure of it. "You know," she said with a sudden smile. "Anyone else would have told me that revenge is stupid. But not you. You backed me up. Thank you." She hesitated, then lent over and gave Nate a quick hug. That was probably the closest anyone had come to understanding Jez.

Jez grinned. "I can just see it," she said, then switched to an announcer's voice. "Use Jez Sense ©Jezabel Black for only 10 Galleons!" She shook her head, giggling. "I think it should be free. Like the Happy Birthday song or whatever. People shouldn't have to pay to be crazy." Otherwise a lot of people would be in financial difficulty in the world ...
