It puzzled her really, the way things were between them now. It just felt…different. Not exactly a bad different, though. As long as they were still friends she could deal. Her smile grew as he talked about summer. The boy seemed really excited which was nice to see. Ella shrugged when he asked about hers. I um…I am, I guess. I’m really excited to see my family. And I um…hope to see all my friends at some point or another.” And she gave him a look that she hoped said That means you, Alec Hair Whipper Summers. So... Ells.
Alec didn't know how to act around the girl because... well... one minute everything was okay and then... things changed. And he didn't really mind. There was just that small matter of how you're meant to act around... well... yeah. He was sure there was a book around it somewhere. Yeah... a book explaining why girls were so confusing. And how you're meant to act around them. Yeah... that would be very... useful.
But back to Ells. "I... yeah? You sure?" he asked, smiling a little at her, "Erm... yeah... I'm great!" Why? Because summer was practically here! And summer meant lots of ice cream and sweets and... well... that's what the two had in common, yeah? Apart from being Hufflepuffs and Quidditch enthusiasts and... they were both born in September?
... They really did have a lot in common.
And speaking of summer... "I... yeah? That sounds awesome!" he said, nodding his head, "And... erm... I bet they're excited to see you as well, Ells." And... then she gave him a look. One that he didn't... really understand but with the way she was looking at him, it seemed as if the look... meant something. Alec was completely at sea, though. He did, however, hope it meant that she wanted to hang out with him. It would mean quite a lot to the fourteen year old if she did. Oh... wait, he should... say the same thing to Oakey, right? Because Oakey was the one who actually told everyone who came to see the match that he really liked Sophie. Dude had a lot of courage. "Erm... Oakey?" That's his way of showing how serious he was about this. He was calling Oakey... well... Oakey. "Congrats about... well... Sophs. That was really brave of you, mate." Really. Alec wouldn't have the courage to do that. It took him quite a bit of time to realise that... well...
... So ice cream was nice, yeah. "Yeah? That's awesome!" He was glad someone else was ready for the summer. Or... excited for it? Yeah.
...
WHAT. "Erm... I... for the special and... erm... delicious," ... Not... really. "health drinks?" ... But... the dude was laughing, making Alec nervously let out a chuckle. Oakey was probably going to be remembered for those health drinks of his. SPOILER!!: Awar! Quote:

Alec smiled at the pat. That... was awesome, yeah! Especially since he didn't really know Awar that well before they had met in the Great Hall back in... March? Oh... wait... hadn't he met her back when they got kicked out of the common room? And... it was just outside the common room that they met?
Oh! And she had a great year, yeah? That was awesome! "That's awesome!" he said, grinning, "Erm... anytime! And... what's been your favourite part?" He was guessing it wasn't the fact that they had gotten kicked out of the common room or the fact that there was a man-eating plant roaming around the castle. But at least the girl had a pretty great year. That's... all that mattered.
As for him? "Yeah, mine was awesome!" Confusing. Weird. And... well... more confusing. But at least they had won the Quidditch Cup and the House Cup and... well... he was the Top Seeker! That was an AWESOME feeling! "Erm... so are you excited about the summer holidays?" SPOILER!!: Violet! Quote:

Who knows...But until then..this was the current status..
But aside from that, Alec! She pondered for a moment trying not to think about how hectic her summer could possibly turn out to be. But she shook her head and replied,"I am looking forward to it!" Violet smiled and then asked the younger Puff,"What about you Alec? Excited I hope?" Okay, so he, Alec Blake Summers, had a PLAN for next term. Nodnod. And it was going to involve getting to know Violet a little bit more and making sure that she had the best term EVER at Hogwarts. Nodnod. And this... would need some careful planning. But it would work... right?
YEAH. Of course! GRIN. "Yeah? That's awesome!" he said, grinning widely, "Erm... I... are you looking forward to your birthday?" Because... he did remember her mentioning something about her birthday. Yeah... he wished he had a summer birthday as well. But... September was still an awesome month to be born in! Yeah! GRIN.
Him? Excited about his summer? "Yeah!" he said, trying his hardest not to bounce in his seat, "I get to see Dad again and... well... ice cream! I hope summer will be awesome!" ICE CREAM ICE CREAM ICE CREAM! SPOILER!!: Pao! Quote:

All the same, he still took in every inch, right down to the carvings in the tables. Then the first year sighed. He had come to regard this place as a sort of second home, even if it WAS cold up here all the time.
The Keeper plunked himself down on the bench, not even noticing who was near him. He was suddenly ravenous and wanted to eat ALL THE FOOD IN SIGHT. And then came his favourite first year.
Alec grinned widely at the mere sight of the boy. Over the past year, Alec had grown to become accustomed to having this boy around. And hopefully, they'd get to hang out even more in the future. Alec had a funny feeling he'd need someone to do his Arithmancy homework with. And the little Keeper dude was really good at Arithmancy!
... Although... hadn't he shouted something along the lines of 'Aunt Hadley' back at the party? GRIN.
The Hufflepuff shuffled along the bench a little until he was sitting right near the first year. "Pao!" 'Cause he wasn't going to let awesome Keeper dude sit on his own. "Thirteen blocked shots! Congrats! Erm... I'm proud of you." Because... well... he hadn't gotten a chance to say it to him earlier, had he?
Oh! And another small thing... "Erm... so are you excited about the summer?" SPOILER!!: Belle! Quote:

Belle was jumping up and down holding Alec's hands when he said they won the cup. "I know you guys did and i am very proud of you and the whole team. You being seeker and all! I am so going to be playing Quidditch next year!" Belle made a promise to that.
Then when Alec asked how her year went, Belle was honest and said, "Well my year went by fast i can admit. I just remember starting my 6th year and now i have to take my NEWT'S soon. I am so nervous. I am also getting prepared for internships and all that." Belle rambled off. But the focus onto Alec now. "What year are you going into now? Are you excited to come back for another year? What are you doing this summer?" Belle was an easily excitable person too! Yeah! Alec liked people like that. They were awesome and... well... usually really happy! Which was also awesome! And that's why Alec decided to bounce up and down with the girl, a BIG WIDE GRIN spread across his face. This was AWESOME. Being happy and... proud. Yeah.
And that's what Belle was, right? Proud! AWESOME. "Thanks Belle!" Their Lady Prefect was proud of them! How awesome was that? "And... I'm proud of you for... well... the points!" They had gotten so many this term! And won the cup! Which was awesome! ... Wait... Belle wanted to play next term? "Belle! That's awesome! Yeah... yeah, Nessie would like it if you tried out for the team!" GRIN GRIN GRIN!
Oh... NEWTs... those sounded really, really hard. Just like the OWLs. "Erm... I... good luck for your NEWTs! I'm sure you'll do brilliantly!" he said, smiling at her, "Internships? Erm... like a job? Or... erm... experience?" That's what Dad called them, right? ... Jobs sounded scary as well. "I'm going into my fourth year!" ... He... was growing up! Yeah! "Erm... well... I'm spending most of the summer with Dad and just meeting up with friends and... yeah!" Hopefully, he could see Belle sometime over the summer. That would be awesome. "What are your plans for the summer?" SPOILER!!: Jory! Quote:

The Puff barely paid attention to the chatter around him, but his attention was at the Gryffindor and Ravenclaw tables hoping to spot Ari or Gwen. And another guy sat down somewhere close to him.
Alec tilted his head to the side and blinked at the guy. He was sure he had met the guy before. Some time. Probably. ... In the Badger Meetup Extravaganza? Or... was it before that? In his first year? Maybe? He had a funny feeling it was then. But... even whether they had met before or not, he was pretty sure he had seen the guy around, especially in the Hufflepuf Common Room.
No, but more importantly... what was his name? James? ... No... Jake? No... Joseph? ... No! Come on, Summers! He had a name that wasn't too common but... some people did have that name. A bit like his name, Alec. Blake was a lot more popular than Alec. And Summers... well... yeah.
But the guy's name... "JORY!" ... Erm... Awkward. He was not meant to sound so excited about that. "Hey... Jory!" GRIN. "Erm... excited for the summer?" SPOILER!!: Em! Quote:
Originally Posted by Yourenodaisy And then there was little Alec telling her she’d be missed. Feeling her lip wibble a bit, she smiled. She hadn’t gotten that much of a chance to get to know the younger Puff though they did have that little picnic once. Em reached out and patted the kid on the shoulder. “Thanks Alec, I’ll miss you guys too.” Even if she hadn’t spent a lot of him with her housemates this term, she really was going to miss being surrounded by her badgers. “You’ve gotta keep doing us proud out there on the Quidditch pitch. You were Brilliant out there this term.” Em nodded. And there it was, the summer question again. Emmaleigh took a deep breath and nodded. “Yeah, I guess. Though it might be kinda short.” Or it could be a much longer break if she waited for the “first semester” of Uni. “I’m probably gonna visit Max some and just stay around home. What about you, are you excited?”[/COLOR] Alec smiled back at Em, glad that she was smiling. Because... people tended to smile when they were happy, right? Even if it was by a bit? And... hopefully, it meant that he, Alec, had helped to make her feel a little bit better. If that was true then... awesome! If not then... well... here's hoping that the house elves would send up ice cream for dessert today. "Anytime Em!" he said. And that pat? That made him feel extra proud and special because... well... it meant that she was proud of him, right? And he liked it when people were proud of him. Yeah! ... Keep them proud? "Erm... I can try!" That meant more practice and... well... he'd have to get better at catching the Snitches. "Thanks Em! I'm... glad you think so!" GRIN GRIN GRIN.
Oh... so she was, yeah? "That's awesome!" he said, smiling at her, "Erm... well... not the part about it being short..." Because short holidays weren't cool. Nope. Oh Max! That older Keeper guy! "I... erm... you two make a nice couple, you know," ... Was that a normal thing to say? "Yeah! Summer means... ice cream! And I get to see Dad again so... yeah! It'll be awesome!" SPOILER!!: Alice!

She could NOT manage that.
WIBBLE.
Alice made her way over to where there was already a little crowd of her friends gathered around the table and sat down with them. And resisted the urge to wrap her arms around them. And then tie them up. And then stuff them in her suitcase. 'CAUSE SHE WANTED TO KEEP THEM. For the whole summer.
.. And WHY was she so sad?
Maybe it had to do with the fact that Kurumi was leaving.
Or maybe she was just having issues.
#Awkward The sight of another blonde haired girl caught Alec's attention and he looked up and over...
... and then GRINNED. "Hulk!" he said, watching as she sat down near them. The girl looked... well... not like her usual self. Did she need to Hulk Smash something? You know, to make her feel better. Although... Alec would feel sorry for whatever she decided to Hulk Smash. Because... well... it was bound to hurt, yeah?
But... he should ask her about her... well... feelings? ... He still didn't like that word. "Hulk? Erm... everything okay?" SPOILER!!: Sophs! Quote:
Originally Posted by jujune29th Good thing Alec didn't look that sad. At least not as sad as most people were going to be that night. "Good job on the championship, Alec!! You were brilliant!!" Sophie exclaimed cheerfully, looking at her friend with a wide smile. "And that award! You're the best seeker of the school!" BEAM!!
The boy was about to say something else and... that made Sophie blush a little. "Oh, yeah..." The girl giggled a bit nervously, glancing down at the table but quickly looking up at her housemate again. "Yeah, well... thanks!" She hadn't gotten used to that idea yet, hehe. It was all a little awkward for her still. Sophs had to be one of the happiest people in the Great Hall right now. Well... she certainly looked it. Yeah. And that was awesome, really. People should be happy! Even if... it was a sad event. Yeah.
But back to Sophs who... was praising him? Alec grinned WIDELY at that. "Thanks Sophs! Erm... good job earning points this year!" Because she had earned LOTS right? Way more than Alec himself! "I... I guess you could say that I am... Thanks!" He couldn't wait to show the award to his Dad! He had a feeling that the guy might be proud!
And... his housemate? Alec couldn't help but grin slightly as she giggled. Yeah... he knew how that felt at times. After all, it was how he felt whenever he talked to her be- erm... so Sophs was talking... "Anytime!" he said, grinning at her, "Erm... so are you excited about the summer?" SPOILER!!: Bliss! Quote:
Originally Posted by ForeverYours As Bliss waited to talk to Alec as he finished talking to everyone else, she noticed him look around the hall and so she did too. It was so full now. The atmosphere was really amazing and happy, though sad too. But the whole hall was buzzing. YAY. She was surprised how many people were all sad, it was meant to be a happy time, even if that DID mean saying goodbye to people. MELLOW.
Okay, now she was understanding everyone's sad moods a little more. But she was strong, she could put on her happy face, yeah? Yeah. BEAM. Bliss smiled at Alec, "Hey you!" She said cheerfully, "Um, yeah...just don't want to see the Seventh Years leave," she admitted and scuffed her toe. Don't. Think. About. It. URGH. Bliss took the chance of topic with both hands and leave her mellow feelings behind.
Summer. That was going to be an amazing time. She just couldn't believe how quickly it had come around, it seemed like only yesterday that she had met Blue by the Whomping Willow or had her first ever game of Quidditch. Those memories that would last forever filled her head. One thing that was certain, there would be more adventures to come. "Yeah, I am. What about you?" She asked warmly.
MEGA BEAM, YO. Bliss was another cheerful person in the Great Hall, it seemed. That was good, yeah? People should really be happy as much as they could be. Yeah... even if everything was really sad right now because of people... leaving. ... People shouldn't leave. Unless they had to. But... well... no.
And then Bliss... seemed sad. Or down. Or... well... nervous? Because Alec did that sometimes when he was nervous. You know, when he wasn't ruffling his hair. That was his main nervous habit. But... back to Bliss. ... Oh. At the mention of the Seventh Years, Alec's eyes wandered over to Em and then Max and then some of the other Seventh Years. "Yeah... yeah, it's really sad that they're leaving," he said, looking back at Bliss and letting a smile cross his face, "But... erm... hey! They'll have something better to look forward to, yeah?"
Oh... so she was excited about her summer, yeah? "That's awesome! Erm... have you got any plans for the summer?" Hopefully, the two would get to meet over the summer at some point. That would be great, yeah. "Erm... well, I'm great! And really excited about the summer! It'll be awesome!" GRIN GRIN GRIN. SPOILER!!: Laura! Quote:
Originally Posted by Harry174 Laura looked up as someone asked her if she was alright. "Alec!" Laura smiled, it had been ages since she had spoken to him last, she had been really busy with things lately and so she hadn't really been able to speak to her friends which was a shame, suddenly Alec asked her if she was alright. "Yeah I'm fine." Laura gave him a great big smile. "Are you alright?" Laura didn't know what else to say. Alec smiled back at Laura, glad that she was okay. Because... well... it couldn't be easy seeing what was going on with Sophie and Oakey, right? Yeah, he knew exactly how that felt. Even if he didn't really know exactly how Laura was feeling as of this very moment. But... at least she wasn't alone?
And, well, Laura had this mysterious older boy around her. And there was that one time where she had mentioned some guy name Mick. Was this him? ... Wait, Mick was a REAL GUY?! ... Alec had to inform that West dude about this now. Maybe... later. Probably.
But back to Laura. "That's awesome, Laura!" he said, smiling, "Erm... yeah, I'm great!" SUMMER SUMMER SUMMER! "So... erm... are you excited for the summer?" The summer was an exciting time! YEAH! SPOILER!!: Ness! Quote:

"Alecutie!" Beam! One of her favorite first third years. That beam turned into a pout though as soon as he asked her how she was feeling. It was really nice that people cared and all, but Ness wasn't one to be crazy about attention."I'm feeling alright." She answered him with a nod. "And you?" Because she cared about her little bro.
There something more important, Ness wanted to talk with him about and that was of course the match. She was proud of her whole entire team for what they had done. She knew she could have counted on them. "So I get to pinch your cheeks as a congratulations for winning the last match?" Yeah, yeah, right, because gosh those cheeks were still as squishy as always. Alec GRINNED WIDELY when Ness greeted him. As far as he knew, only she used that nickname for him and... well... that was awesome! And what was more awesome was seeing the older girl out and about after that injury. That... was not cool. But it was cool to see her again so... yeah. "Hey Captain LochNessie!" ... He... had said that already, hadn't he? That was... weird, Summers. But... she was feeling good, yeah? So... that had meant that she had recovered well, yeah? "That's awesome!" he said, still grinning at her, "Erm... well... I'm great! It's almost summer!" ... She probably knew that though, yeah?
Alec knew that when it came to talking to the older Puffer, some form of cheek pinching would come about. But was he going to complain about it? Not in a million years! Ness's cheek pinches were awesome! And... well... it meant that she was proud of the outcome of the Championship match, right? "I... yeah! Yeah, you can if you want to!" he said, grinning some more just to make sure that his cheeks were big and puffy and... well... just the way Ness's cheek pinching fingers liked them. SPOILER!!: Minnie! Quote:
Originally Posted by Bazinga Minerva returned the hug from Alec, "I can't believe you will be a fourth year already..You should still be a firstie.." Minerva joked with him being all big sisterish. "Let's just say this term was eventful, yes I think that is the best description for a term like this, but look Puffs did a fantastic job this year, so I can't complain." Smiling, yes there were sad moments glances at staff table and some terrifying moments, but the quidditch final was amazing, meeting Ethan again amazing, and of course her friends were always amazing. "Did you have a good term?" That was the better question, she couldn't have her little bro not having a good term. She smiled as Alec said he would write, "Good don't want you forgetting about me this summer or anything." Him... a fourth year... that was a really weird thought, actually. And probably one that nearly freaked him out. Because... well... it seemed like yesterday that he was walking through the doors of the Great Hall as a first year who was ready to get sorted into a house. And now... he was almost halfway through his time at Hogwarts.
NOT. COOL.
But... back to Minnie. He shook his head and grinned a little. "Erm... well... I wish I was a firstie again. That would be pretty cool!" he said, nodding and grinning widely now, "And... I can't believe you're going to be a fifth year!" She was going to be taking those OWLs yeah? So... he had to make sure that his present to her for her next birthday was extra awesome. ... Eventful? That... was a pretty good description of the term, actually. Especially when it came to that wretched plant. "Yeah... yeah, you're right," he said, smiling, "Yeah! I think... we made Hadley proud this term!" And he was glad about that. Really.
As for him... "Yeah, my term was awesome!" Especially when it came to Quidditch but there was definitely other awesome things about this past term as well. Like... well... he had gotten closer to Minnie this past term, hadn't he? That was awesome! "I could never forget you, Minnie!" GRIN! SPOILER!!: Terry! Quote:
Originally Posted by Lottiepot The first person that had piped up to speak to Terry was Alec and the boy smiled at the other. Despite Terry being amongst the sea of yellow, he didn't feel particularly uncomfortable with being there, most of these people were his friends and they didn't think any different about the colour robes that he was wearing. All houses were cool and there was no changing that! "Hi Alec" the Slytherin grinned at his fellow second year. The pair had spoken on a few occasions and they were certainly able to hold a conversation but due to Terry's absence through the past few months, hiding in the common room and only coming out when he needed to, they hadn't exactly spoken enough to be considered good friends. The boy was going to change that next term though, he'd be sure to make more of an effort to socialise with all his fellow year mates.
Excited was a bit of an understatement, Terry was really looking forward to going home and seeing his family, not to forget all of the animals he had to leave behind. "Sure I am! I've missed my home" he chuckled. "But I'll miss everyone else as well. We've all got to meet up in Diagon Alley in the summer" So they didn't miss each other too much and forget what their faces looked like. As Alec looked around at the group of people, he realised that it was getting quite big. But not the type of big where there were too many people around. But... a comfortable kind of big. Like in those movies where you have a lot of people over for Christmas dinner and everyone ate and laughed and got along well. That was pretty awesome, actually. And... well... it brought everyone together like it had now.
And Terry? Dude seemed to be really excited about his summer! Or... well... that's what it seemed like to Alec. But whether he was excited or not, hearing Terry talk about it made him smile. "Yeah? That's awesome!" Because... well... people should be excited about the summer! It was the SUMMER, after all! Ice cream galore! "I bet they've missed you as well!" Nodnod.
... Oh? "Yeah... it's sad to be separated from everyone for so long..." Even if it was only a couple of months before they'd see everyone again. ... OH! Awesome dude had an AWESOME plan! "That's an awesome plan! And... yeah! We should! Everyone in Diagon Alley hanging out together!" And getting ice cream. That was important too. SPOILER!!: Carigan! Quote:
Originally Posted by MysteriesOfFate Just then some boy turned to her and spoke. Did she know him? He talked as if he knew OF her but didn't know her. "Hi there, I'm Carigan." She said and stuck out her hand to him. "Uhm... summer? Yeah I guess it will be good." Oh... so... she hadn't met him either? That was pretty good. Because it meant that he'd meet someone new and make a new friend, yeah? Yeah. And that was always awesome, no matter what. Nodnod.
Carigan? "Hey! It's nice to meet you, Carigan," he said, shaking her hand and grinning at the girl, "Erm... I'm Alec. Alec Summers!" His surname wasn't really needed in the introduction but he actually liked his surname so... yeah. He tended to add it in. "Yeah? Erm... I hope yours will be awesome!" Because people deserved awesome holidays! Nodnod. "Erm... so have you had a great term, Carigan?" He didn't really know her but he hadn't seen her around much so... he was hoping she had!
