Jayce looked over to the brunette, who seemed like a very proper type of girl. The complete and utter opposite of himself.

"I do quite well, Miss Neptune Bott." He replied with a slight nod. He'd never heard anyone introduce themself like that. It was quite.. interesting.. and different. And she- she curtsied? How.. peculiar. "And how do you do?" Jay asked, using her words. He wouldn't ever admit this, but.. It was fun.

"Oh yeah. I know her very well." he said, shooting Trixie a rather large grin.

He turned back to his girlfriend, and she had looked worried about something.. Meh. Shrug. He'd as her later.

"Yeah.." he sighed. He despised being poor. So annoying. But he wasn't quite sure if he had told Trixie. If he hadn't, he was glad she didn't pry. "You don't know? Sounds like our little meetings when we were back at school." he chuckled. Their little meetings had been completely random. But one thing had been pretty consistent. She'd end up falling over him or tripping before each one. Oh, memories.

SPOILER!!: *shakes head* That Trixie girl...

"Why are you giving me evil glares?" she asked concerned. She didn't like getting evil glares. They were scary.

MEEP!



She turned back to Jayce, at least HE wasn't giving her glares. Well why would he?

He was looking for cheap books? Well technically that made sense. "Ah I see" she giggled but then he asked her the same back. "It appears Neptune has already told you" she confirmed. "I dunno, I just...am" she replied. Did she really have to have a reason to be in here?

"I don't glare," Neptune tossed her curls over her shoulder. "It would make my face ugly." And she was obviously anything BUT ugly.

The glaring did continue though. WHAT was TRIXIE doing with HAIR!Boy? Oh Merlin, no. No.

SPOILER!!: Hair.. boy...

Neptune had to make herself focus on him talking. Her eyes kept creeping to his hair. It was.... long. It was just so odd. It was nothing like Jim's hair. None of her brothers had hair like that either. Kellen's was a little frumpled sometimes, but that was Kellen so it was naturally excusable.

....

Oh gosh. She was staring! EEP.GIGGLE. Neptune had to look away, appearing interested in a book high on a shelf. "I suppose I do okay." ...."I assume when you speak of School, you mean Hogwarts?" She chanced a peek at him, but no. NO. Wouldn't do. So her eyes darted away again.

...giggle.

Trix smiled reassuringly at her boyfriend as she spotted a concerning look. nothing to worry about, apart from the fact a girl she just met was giving her disconcerting looks. MEEP!

The Blonde gave him a sympathetic smile. He had never actually told her much of his family or even his home life. He seemed to have kept that information to himself. But she'd ask him later. IN PRIVATE. "I'm sure I only tripped over ONCE" she gave him a look. Anyway she still blamed that on a certain Mr Dubois. If he hadn't ruddy well stupefied her she would be fine.



Trixie's left eyebrow rose as Neptune informed her that she didn't glare. Well then what the heck was she doing right now then? Facial twitch? Teehee.

"Sure you don't" the girl said half heartedly. She mirrored the flicking back of the hair, tossing her own golden locks behind her shoulder. Yeah two could play at this game.....

Before Jay turned his head back towards Neptune, he thought he could see her staring at him from the corner of his eye. Whut? Did he have something on his face. Reaching his had upwards, he quickly swipped at it. Jay glanced back down at his hand. No.. nothing there.. Hmm..

Deciding it would be easier to see what she was staring at if he was actually looking at HE. He turned his full attention towards her. But her eyes were higher that his face.. but.. wha? She had looked away. Darn. Chance gone. Frown.

"Yeah. We both go to Hogwarts." he nodded. "Do you go there too?" he asked her. Stupid question. She probably did. Why wouldn't she, if she were here, in England. ANNND, here, in Diagon Alley.



Jayce turned his head towards Trixie, who seemed to be okay. She was giving him a smile. Therefore, she seemed alright enough. Meh. Maybe he was seeing things. That would make a whole lot of sense. Well.. Maybe not.

He glanced around the room quickly. What would he say if they asked him why he was here? Tell the truth? Err... maybe. Gah. Probably. Eirian would have a fit if he lied again. And so, no more lying. "Only once? I'm pretty sure it was at least twice. But then again, i might be thinking of that time you bumped into me. I'm almost positive that happened too." He smirked at her. She was so clumsy. It was cute.

SURE she did NOT. Neptune had said that. They all agreed, yes? Good. Excellent. Ooh and Neptune knew about the tripping thing, so she helpfully pointed at the bookshelf. "She walked RIGHT into it. It scared me, to be honest. I thought she was some deranged banshee that had wandered up from Knockturn Alley's depths."

SHUDDER.

Trixie wasn't a banshee though.


Not sure.... what she was. A loud cry for help? Neptune HEARD the call.


Still not LOOK looking at Jayce Cannon,Neptune twirled her hair around her finger. La la la not going to LOOK at you!!!

"I'll be at Hogwarts again. My mother made me pull out last year due to those kidnapping stupid things." SCOFF. She chanced a SMALL itty glance for Wild Thing and his Hair. "So I suppose you'll be seeing lots of me."

She was going to learn a hair-cutting charm, STAT. Help this poor soul out.

Trixie rolled her eyes at Jay's response. She so did not walk into him. She hoped. She may have made occassional bumps but the only thing she had really walked into was the Treehouse. And that was SOMEONE elses fault. They were distracting her. and the fact that Oliver was following her and saw it happen made it even more embarrassing.

"Okay. Fine. Twice. But that was it I'm sure of it" she flashed a playful grin at her boyfriend. "Anyway, I'm hoping for less hospital visits this year. I think 4 was enough don't you?" she giggled. Not that she minded going to see Nurse Moretti at all.

O____O

Neptune was talking ABOUT her but not AT her. This was making the Blonde slightly uncomfortable really.

Deranged Banshee? DERANGED BANSHEE?! What the?

"Pffft.." was the only response the 6th year could make to that. She had accidentally walked into the bookcase. That was all. Nothing particularly mad about that?

"I knew you'd admit to it." he chuckled. "It was more than anyone had bumped into me." Jay-Jay smiled. "Oh yes. You need less hospital visits Trix. You had me worried back then. I've never seen a girl injured that many times."

Jayce chuckled as Neptune spoke of her encounter with Trixie. It sounds just like her. "It sounds like something Trixie would do." he chuckled and nudged her slightly. Teasing of course. Plus, he was totally allowed to do that. "A deranged banshee? Never head that one before." he laughed again. Gosh, he was totally full of laughter today. Erugh.

Why wasn't the girl looking at him? Did he seriously have something on his face? He swiped it again, repeating the process. Still NOTHING on his hand, which meant NOTHING on his face. Seriously? Did she hate him or something? They had just met though.. Hmm... "Yeah, i suppose i will." he grinned.

Oh no. But then Trix was getting mad. Not good. Hoping to defuse the anger, he placed an arm around her, and edged a bit closer. Maybe she'd relax a bit? With all hope, and Merlin's help she would.

"So," he said, looking back over at Neptune, who still refused to look at him. Grr. "You were pulled out? During.. kidnappings? Why couldn't he remember that? Maybe.. maybe that was before he transferred.. probably.

Trixie was making noises. Like.... airy.... weird noises. Did she have allergies? Neptune frowned at her. Really, there was SO much work to be done with this one. Scary, really. Obviously she did not have the same sort of mother as Neptune.

Best not to even THINK about the hospital visits. Was she ALWAYS clumsy? Neptune would REALLY have to get a good look at her shoes later. Well, actually, Neptune had a look THEN. Hmmmm.


But anyway. Boy was talking again. Though, it sort of felt like his hair was speaking directly to her. DIS-TRAC-TING MUCH.


"Do you mind if I sit?" Neptune didn't much care if he did and sat anyway, down onto the stack of books she'd set out earlier. She found his knees quite acceptable. "Yes. But my good friend Jim and I," GIGGLE. GIGGGGLE, "we talked our parents into giving Hogwarts another go. May I inquire as to what Houses you two reside?"

Trixie rolled her eyes at Jayce. She couldn't recall bumping into him THAT many times. Twice maybe, but once again it was down to the impact with the wall rather then her own fault. She had been pretty much graceful before hadn't she? Maybe.... Err....

"Eh I was fine" she reassured him. Moretti had always done a fantastic job and she was always perfectly healed. So it was good yes? And the last hospital visit wasn't FOR her. It was HER fault though.

Teehee... Oops... Shouldn't offend Trixie Malfoy when she has a beaters bat in her hand *whistle*

Frown. He was totally teasing her. HMPH.

Why was she still not talking to her? What the? And then she looked at her shoes. HER SHOES? Well there was nothing to fault about those heels. She loved them things.

"I'm a Slytherin" she replied proudly an eyebrow raised at the question. No being prejudice otherwise Trixie wouldn't listen. It was her sarcasm that made her a true slythie. Or else her intelligence would probably place her in Ravenclaw. "You?" she asked back.

Jayce glanced between the two girls. He still couldn't place why Neptune wouldn't look at him. But, maybe she'd tell him? Nahh. Probably not.

But then he glanced back at Trixie. HIS Trixie and couldn't help but smile at her. Gahhh. Why'd she have that effect on him? Mehh. Who knew. He'd find out eventually. There were only two girls who could make him smile like and idiot whenever they were together and the other happened to be his best friend.

"Yeah, i know you were, but i still couldn't help but worry over you." he frowned, thinking back to those days and couldn't help but shudder slightly. He didn't like seeing his Trixie injured and looking so fragile. Jay no likey.

Then, Jayce turned his attention back to Neptune as she spoke again. "Of course not, go ahead. Sit." he replied, gesturing to her pile of books. Of course he wouldn't mind. Why would he?

"Of course you may. I'm a Gryffindor fifth year, just transferred in last year." Jay-Jay replied with a slight nod of his head to confirm what he had just stated. "How about you? What house were you in before you left?"

Neptune fake!vomited behind her hand.

Mushy Oh I worry, No, I'm fine. Ew. Rude, too, Neptune figured. Making her feel like the third wheel. The third wheel in a third hand bookshop? Ewwwww.

More fake!vomiting.


AHEM. "Oh. You can't tell? I'm a Ravenclaw." Smart. Princess-like. Duuuhhhhh. "I thought Slytherins and Gryffindors were a bit of... you know. Rivals. Enemies." So why the MUSHY MUSHY goo goo eyes? Ew, they needed to get a room.

And a haircut, in some cases. Neptune eyed it - the hair - again.

Trixie smiled softly at Jayce and then looked down at her shoes blushing. Err...anyway. Mushy moment over. There was some girl sat in front of them who seemed to enjoy staring then avoiding Jayce's hair. Weird.

"Well obviously not this Slytherin" she raised an eyebrow. And if she had anything to say about it then there'd be trouble *whistle*. "Anyway I think that is so over now" she winked and smirked a little. Such prejudism. "Ravenclaw? So your like book smart?" she asked. Vashti was a Ravenclaw. So she had nothing against them. At all. Plus her ex was one too.

Hang on what was she doing behind her hand when she was talking to Jayce?

O_O

"Once again Jayce. Just don't worry" she gave him one last reassuring smile before turning back to Nneptune over there. Or rather down there seeing as she was sat on a pile of books.

Jayce glanced around the book store wondering if he would ever get his shopping complete today. Meh, probably not. Oh well. He didn't really mind all that much. He preferred getting things last minute anyway.

"Ahh. So, you're a Ravenclaw." He nodded his head slowly as his brain absorbed the information. That made sense.. "Err.. no.. Some of the Gryffie's and Slythie's are rivals, but i like to believe it's their personalities that make them hate eachother, not their house." he replied. "But i do think that both Gryffindors and Slytherins can get a bit heated in competitions. We do get pretty competitive with eachother." He replied to the Ravenclaw while smiling at his Slytherin.

Jay was totally and completely oblivious to the fact that Neptune kept holding her hand to her mouth.

"I won't." He said. Glancing back over to Neptune, he gave her a smile. "So, what books have you got there?" Curiosity filled his voice. Jay was nosy.

Neptune did NOT like that eyebrow quirk from Trixie Malfoy. Hmph. From her book throne, her hand found her hip and she HMPH'd at the other girl. "Smart, smart." Not JUST book smart. "And blue is my best color." Obviously.

... giggle.


"And we live in the highest, best tower." Princess-like. Clearly and duh.


It was clearly the only House for a Bott. Or, a Neptune Bott anyway. These were Neptune's thoughts while Jayce spoke. His hair kept Neptune too distracted to actually listen to his speech about Houses. She just smiled and nodded and didn't look directly at him. MMhmm. Suuuuuuurrrre. Okkaaaaay then.

"I don't have any - Oh." GIGGLE. "Oh you mean my throne. I'm not actually buying books here," just so yous know. "I was just tired of standing." Neptune fake!yawned and patted daintily at her mouth. "Are you two both here alone?"

Trixie watched as an arm was placed on Neptunes hip. Oops had the Slytherin just done something bad? Pfft...

Okay so she liked being a Ravenclaw. A little too much maybe. But she wasn't about to argue with the girl. She loved being a Slytherin. Truly loved it. However she could believe what she wanted to believe. "Mhmm.." she replied simply. "Well I myself, love being a Slytherin. The Head Boys one you know..." better not mention too much bout Oliver with Jayce right here.

She shot a smile over at Jay before turning back to Neptune. "But all the houses are equally awesome." Yeah and she was ending it at that.

Both alone? What did she mean? "I don't...What do you mean?" she asked. Well obviously no because Jayce was stood right here. Duh.

Jayce arched an eyebrow in confusion as Neptune said blue was her best color. What did that mean exactly? "Is blue your favorite color?" he asked, still confused by her choice of words.

As Jay allowed his eyes to wander, he realized her was still holding the book from before. Oops. Errrr. He looked around, making sure one of the shopkeepers weren't paying attention. With a whistle, he slipped the book in between a bunch of other books, just to free up his hands so he could slip them comfortably in his pockets.

He glanced over at Trixie, and smiled. "The head boy's a Slytherin? That's cool.. How'd you find that out?"

"You're throne? You named it?" he grinned. That was funneh. "You're not buying books here? Then why are you here?" Questions, questions, questions. Did both of them not have a reason for being here?

"Do you mean parents wise?" he asked, glancing at Neptune.

Alex walked in and grabbed an English to German dictonary, while browsing the aisles. She found a good copy of Shakespeare's Twelfth Night, and she just had to have it. She glanced at her watch and realized she had to be back at the Ministry soon, so she made her way towards the counter.

The Head Boy? Neptune's attention-radar beeped at that little gem of information. Good things to know. "I had a boyfriend in Slytherin." Have? Had? Tense didn't really matter. Point was: Neptune KNEW other Houses, embraced them.

And still looked best in blue. "No, Jayce, sweetie. I mean that I look pretty in blue." He agreed, right? Weird hair or not, Neptune was sure he'd have to agree. "And, no," GIGGGGLE, "I'm not buying books here. I'm not buying anything at all!" Oh FUNNY to think so though! She lounged back against the shelves, crossing her legs and looping her hands around her knee. "I'm simply here because my Butler.... Randal ..... can't come in. The book dust makes him weary."

But sigh. These kids - their parents let them go out alone? MUST BE NICE. Her attention drifted to some young kid in the aisle for a moment. Hmm.

Trix looked over at Jayce and rolled her eyes. Still not gonna mention much though but her boyfriend wasn't the jealous type right? They were just best friends. Mhmm... Sarcastic and big headed best friends..

Giggle

How did she know? Well how else could she find out? "Jayce he's my best friend, he TOLD me." Yeah obvious much. And she still couldn't believe it herself... In fact she still refused to believe it was true. But it was amazing nevertheless and of course she was pleased for him. But still...Him?

Snort

"Had?" she asked Neptune, an eyebrow raised. Not that she cared much, if she didn't want to say then she didn't have to. Did she just call Jayce sweetie? *blink*

"Couldn't you just ask him to leave you alone? It works for me." Simple enough and Trixie loved being able to explore DA at her own free will.

Viktoriya wandered round the shelves, looking at all the old, leather-bound books. She had a whole library filled with books like that in Russia. She missed her home country, but England was nice. It was certainly not as cold, anyway. Having already paid for her school books, she carried them in the small leather satchel on her shoulder. It was a little heavy, but she didn't mind.

Running her fingers over the spines of the books, she was so absorbed in reading all of the titles that she walked right into someone - a girl, who looked a few years younger than Viktoriya. How embarrassing. 'I... I am so sorry!' she said nervously, Russian accent coming through incredibly heavily, as it so often did when she was nervous or scared. 'I did not see you there; I'm so sorry!'

Selena walked around, hoping to look for a decent book to read. The books here were old and some probably had notes on it but she didn't mind. Must be a whole bunch more interested, engrossed in reading the spines and didn't notice a girl bump into her. Selena giggled when a girl bumped into her. Selena had done that a lot too over the summer, bumping into people. "I'm fine, not dead yet," Selena said jokingly as she smiled at the girl

"I'm Selena, Selena Vivianne Zabini-Riddle," Selena said, holding her hand out for the seemingly older girl to shake. Well... everyone else seemed older when you were 4"3' tall. Hehehe. Short little Sel...

Viktoriya gave a nervous little giggle as the girl said it was alright. That was good, she supposed. It was better than having someone shout at her or laugh at her accent, anyhow. 'Alright. I'm still sorry though. I need to pay a bit more attention sometimes...'

Wow. Long name... perhaps long enough to rival Viktoriya's. 'Nice to meet you, Selena' she said with a shy smile 'I'm Viktoriya, Viktoriya Alexandrovna Johannsen' she took Selena's hand and shook it kindly, pulling off her leather gloves before she did so. 'I'm a fourth year, Gryffindor. How about yourself?'

Selena was now not the only one with the longest name ever known in history. Because this girl, Viktoriya, had a name just as long. Hahaha. And that did make Selena feel better. "It's nice to meet you Miss Johannsen," Selena said, eying the leather gloves. Gloves? Who wore gloves in million degree weather? "Slytherin, Second year," Selena said, smiling toothily at the girl. "I haven't seen you around hogwarts, are you new?" Selena asked politely.

'Slytherin? So that's the... green one, yes?' she asked, unsure. She thought that Hufflepuff was blue, and Ravenclaw was yellow. Of course she knew that Gryffindor - her house - was red, but that was about it. She was just guessing here. 'And yes, you're right. I am indeed new to Hogwarts - to England really. I just moved from Russia'

She noticed Selena eyeing the gloves she'd just stuck in her pocket and felt incined to give an explanation. Grinning ruefully, she glanced back down at them I just wanted to wear them because they're new... and they match my satchel' she told Selena, giggling a little

Selena nodded. "Yup, it's also the best house," she said with a grin. "Gryffindors are red, Ravenclaws are blue, Huffies are are yellow and Slythie are green!" Selena added, just in case the girl didn't know. She smiled at her. Russia? Wow, how cool. "That's cool," Selena exclaimed with a grkn. From Russia... That was so far!!

She giggled ad well, not that she understood but jut because she could and wanted to. "Do you mind if call you Vickie?" Selena asked.
