Taylor nodded, “I love it! I would miss him so much if he wasn’t going to be going to school here. I missed him so much last term.” She pouted a little then went back to smiling… well actually she was beaming. The sunshine seemed to be shining directly on her as she stood up and starting to twirl in delight at thinking of her boyfriend. Her braid came apart since she didn’t have anything holding it in place. The curls spread out and twirled with her until she stopped then they fell and went down her back in waves of cascading curls. The golden curls seemed to reflect the sunshine, making Tay seem bright. One single curl didn’t land on her back though. It landed against her cheek and fell in front of her. Taylor giggled and looked at Minerva, “Last term I only got to see him at Hogsmeade or over break and even then half the time he was running to work.” She sighed, ”But now, I get to see him almost every day I want! We can spend hours of uninterrupted time together and just have a talk without worrying about when he or I had to go. I am going to love it!” Talking about Brodie seemed to make her feel weightless. ”Sorry, I must be annoying right now but…” Tay sighed happily, ”I just am in love with him…” Taylor beamed and fell back into the grass, beaming up at the sunny sky. ””Isnt love amazing?” Tay glanced up at Minerva as she mentioned the idea of dying Taylor’s hair blue. She nodded, ”Yeah, maybe… but perhaps instead of all blue, we can do blue streaks? Perhaps it will be house spirited…” She giggled then gestured to Minerva’s purple hair. ”I love your purple hair. Your hair always looked so amazing. I love how frequently you change the colors. It suits your personality. How long has it been purple? How long will it be purple? Have you decided on what color you are doing next?” Tay blushed, ”Sorry for so many questions… I am just interested.”
Taylor tried not to huff when Minerva started talking about Damon. She didn’t want to be lectured or what not. Her good mood started to sour a little and tears came to her eyes at the thought of Damon. Tay glanced at the tree and closed her eyes, taking a few deep breathes before reopening them and looking at Minerva. The tears had vanished and thinking about Brodie brought her smile back… until the flirting part. She looked confused for a moment. Tay never flirted with boys who she wasn’t dating or about to date… at least to her knowledge, that is but apparently it seemed like she did. Taylor tried to push all of this out of her head and she did a slight wave of her hand, hoping that Minerva wouldn’t think of her as being rude since she was trying not to get into a fight by talking about this. Damon made her think of Brodie and her worry about Brodie grew, “Minerva… can you keep an eye on my boyfriend, please? He got sorted into your house and I don’t mean like a spying eye but more of a concerned eye if that makes any sense… I am worried that he wouldn’t be able to sleep in a bed or eat since you have to pay for that…I am giving him a bag of knuts though… to give me a bit of a break from worrying too much for a few days at least.” She glanced down, ”He is stubborn and doesn’t like being helped out financially though…” A sigh came out as she sat up.
Taylor giggled at Fluffy, thinking she was so cute. She sat up and petted her some more, thinking of her own puff. “Your puff is soooo cute!” Tay beamed, ”Next time we meet up, we should both bring our puffs so they can have a play-date while we hang and talk. We can have fun watching them and playing with them!” She looked up from petting the little ball of fur, ”Wouldn’t that be a good idea?” She liked the idea but she did come up with it so maybe it wasn’t that good of one… which was why she asked Mins. Mins would tell her straight up whether or not her idea was good. She went back to watching the little puff for a few more minutes before looking at Minerva again. Tay nodded, ”Yeah. I agree… something is very fishy. I wonder how much they know… Perhaps we should go snooping around to see what we can find.” Again, she looked at Minerva for some knowledge if her idea was good or bad. ”I mean how can a school go broke if the only new thing they added were the monkey-taking things? It doesn’t make any sense!” At that, she stood up, ”Yeah, I hope all gets fixed quickly as well. I cant believe it either. I mean they should have warned us or at least our parents!” Tay crossed her arms, ”I wonder what Mother would have to say about this… She probably get mad and yell at them. Mom probably will come here; trying to figure out what the heck is going on here at school… How the heck do they expect us to pay to get into the common rooms and to get into the great hall? I mean do they just think we are made out of money? Do they expect us to be constantly having money on us? If so then they are extremely stupid and need to be replaced!” Tay huffed and stomped her foot lightly, glaring at the castle. Taylor sighed and looked at the tree for a few moments then looked back at Minerva, trying to calm down. She succeeded a little and then plopped back down onto the ground.
Taylor sighed as Minerva stood up. She stood up again herself and brushed off the dirt on her outfit. Tay nodded, ”Yeah, easier said than done…” Taylor smiled, ”Thanks. You might? Nice. Ethan is trying out? I hope we make it both then! I hope you are right… I do want to get back on. I feel so rusty though since I haven’t practice much since I got rejected last term.” Taylor smiled at the thought of Ethan. She loved hanging with him since he was so nice and kind. He had helped her in the library and he was dating her good friend. ”How long have you been dating him again? Is it true that he is a prefect? Ethan would make an amazing prefect. He was perfect for the job! She made a mental note to hang out with him soon. Tay loved that they were in the same house though she wished he could trade houses with Brodie so that both Tay and Min will have their boyfriends in the same house… though that would probably get annoying after a while now that she thought about it. Taylor looked at Min, “Oh you are trying out? Well, you will, obviously, make the time since you are simply amazing.” Yep, yep! Min was amazing at whatever she does. Tay flinched at the story, ”Ouch! I hate bludgers… They are purely evil…” She had been hit too many times by them, ”That is good that his aunt healed your hand though.” Tay smiled a little at her friend. Taylor smiled down at the puff then looked at her friend and nodded. ”Yeah… haven’t played in ages.” Taylor paused, ”Are ya ready though?”
Minerva hated hearing that Taylor had a horrible summer, especially when her own summer was just amazing. She loved every minute of summer and felt that everyone should get to have a summer just as awesome. Feeling a little bit of hope when she heard Taylor talk about Brodie, Min smiled,
“Well I’m glad he at least makes things a little better.” Then Min got the shock of the day when the sudden Taylor’s entire mood switched from horrible to fantastic and she had to laugh at her friend. Wow she did have it bad didn’t she. She watched as Taylor went into a ramble of feelings and couldn’t help but smile and laugh, because she knew
exactly how Taylor felt. She was feeling the same way about Ethan, but she would know all too well next year how she felt with Brodie not around. That part made her frown a bit. Shaking her head,
“No.. No your not annoying, I’m just happy to see you so happy. It’s great Taylor.”
Then it was time for Min to really perk up.. changing hair,
“Blue streaks would be awesome.. I could so do that!” Minerva pulled her own hair around to look at the purple locks,
”Thanks I enjoy it this color, it’s actually been like this is some time now. “ She thought about her next question and shrugging reaching into her bag,
“How about until now?” She reached up tapping her own head
“Ristaris” Min’s hair turned from purple to a brighter pink. Not usually a typical color, but she wanted to try something, giving Taylor a grin,
“I also was thinking about doing this…ristaris” This time she tapped near her eyes and her baby blue eye color turned to a pink that matched her hair. Looking at Taylor she wondered,
“Well what do you think?” Chuckling a bit Min didn’t mind the questions at all,
“Taylor why would you apologize for asking me questions. Don’t worry about it.”
When the topic went back to Brodie and the money situation Min looked at Taylor,
“Yeah I can watch out for him. If he ever needs anything he can find me in the common room, let him know that. I haven’t seen him since the train though. Did he sit with you at the feast?” She got the notion that he didn’t have much money, which she understood that very well, but was that the issue Damon and Maxwell had with him. She tried to remember and thought it most likely had to be.
“Yeah I just don’t’ understand how they didn’t send owls about this before school started and expected students to have money with them. We have never paid for anything before.” Shrugging she didn’t know if snooping would get them anywhere except detention and Min was not going to end up there.
“Well I think if we ask to many questions if we are really not suppose to know, then we could probably get into some trouble, but a housemate and I thought about trying to find the Elf that stayed and ask him or her what was going on.”
What a great idea Min thought as she watched Taylor play with the puff,
“I think Fluffy would love a play date. She misses Grim and Pixie. I caught her going up to the boys dorm looking for them this morning. I have to keep telling her Damon’s gone, which means so is his pets, but she just keeps hoping I think. So getting her together with a friend would make her one happy fluff ball.” A smile crossed Min’s face as Ethan was brought up.. One of her favorite topics of course,
“ Yeah he is trying out again, he is an amazing chaser. I just get so nervous watching with the bludgers.” but she was trying to get over it.. All part of the game.
“Oh we have been together a year and a half now. We started dating Valentine’s Day of fourth term.” Well her fourth term at least. Smiling she nodded before finished her conversation and headed closer to the tree. Smirking knowing it new she was there she saw the branch come flying towards her and she jumped,
“Just like old times..” She chuckled as the branch came for round two.
“Anyway, yes he is a Prefect, I think he is going to be a wonderful prefect.” There was no hiding how proud she was of her boyfriend and how wonderful she thought he was. Shaking her head she got distracted,
“No.. no.. I’m not amazing, especially at quidditch, I have a lot of work ahead of me and really need to practice a little more before tryouts, but I really do hope to make it this term.” That was one of her goals for the term.
