Tyler nodded "Sure sounds fun !" he said then shrugged , "We have an uneven number..." Tyler said knowing he was going to ganged up against in this snow war .

Tariana rolled her eyes for the umpteenth time. "I still don't believe you." She took out her wand and accio-ed another book and sat down to read. Her hand reached up for her hair and she twirled some of the locks around her finger.

Jacob chuckled, somehow he figured she wouldn't. Plopping down beside her he looked around. Now she was reading and he knew she didn't like being disturbed. So what was Jake gonna do? Ohh how he wished there was a car around right now to work on! Or if it weren't the middle of the day he'd go for a run. Looking towards Tariana, he wondered if she would be mad if he asked her to summon him a car magazine or something. "Umm, Tari?"

"What, Jacob?" Tariana asked, not looking up from her book. She turned the page, still twirling her hair.

"Well, how about we have 3 teams? and just have one person on each?" Jude suggested in between spoonfuls of cereal. He then lookedat his watch and smacked the table with his fist lightly. "I was meant to owl my dad 10 minutes a go." Jude shook his head and stood up, he knew dad wouldn't be very impressed at his lateness. "I'll meet you later guys." Jude gave them both a smile and left the great hall.

As he left, he loosened his tie a little, he hated the things, it was like the school was trying to strangle the students with these things! Upon walking the the owlery with his hands still going at his stupid tie, Jude noticed Tari sitting on a rock and reading. How boring, she could have been hanging out with him instead. But he wasn't to go over there, Jacob didn't seem too happy the last time he was, and it was hard to miss Jacob, even from where Jude was standing. So, he continued to walk to the owlery, but rather slowly ...

Jacob smiled, "Could you do that thing with your wand again and summon me a car magazine?" he asked with a pleading tone. He was bored! Looking up he saw Jude and rubbed the back of his neck, he felt kind of bad about his reaction last time, but he was jealous and jealousy led people to do stupid things.

Tariana heard someone walking near them. She looked up and her eyes fell on Jude. Human boy. Tempting human boy. Whom she was very confused about. She listened to his breathing, the sound of blood running through his veins, the beat of his heart, the sound of his shoes hitting the ground as he walked. Surprise overcame Tariana; she had no idea how a human could be so... intoxicating. It was insane. She felt like an overdramatic school girl sighing over some famous teen idol. Scoff.
She wasn't paying much attention to Jacob. "Yeah, sure," she answered him, conjuring up the magazine he asked for. Closing her book, Tariana murmured, "I'll be right back."
She jumped up, trailing behind the human. Once she fell into step next to him, she brushed her shoulder against his. Jacob was far behind them. "Hey."

Without thinking another thought, Tari was already walking along with him. How strange, he had thought she was near the almost frozen lake with Jacob. SUPERHUMAN POWERS! ... haha .. yeah right. Jude smirked at her. "Hello. How did you get here so quickly?" He didn't want to act silly, but there was no harm in asking.

Tariana arched an eyebrow. She was going to mess with this human's head. "What are you talking about? I've been walking next to you all this time." Smooth, as smooth as her skin which was currently glowing in the sun. She shook her hair out, stuffing her hands into the pocket of her pea coat. She wanted to reach out and touch human boy but decided against it; her skin would be too hot on his and he would probably panic and flail like a little girl. Tariana snorted mentally. Humans were so... entertaining.

"Thanks!" Jake exclaimed taking the magazine, he opened it as she stood and said she'd be back. Jacob lifted his head and saw her go run after Jude, he let out a small sigh but decided not to pursue her, last time he did that she'd gotten a tad bit mad at him and he didn't need that again. he nodded, "Alright! I'll see you later!" he called after her, opening the magazine again. He couldn't concentrate on the words though now. He just kept thinking about Tariana with Jude and it was driving him mad!

Jude scoffed and rolled his eyes, "I'm not stupid, but I'm obviously not going to get a straight answer so we'll leave it there." He didn't think he looked stupid anyway. Jude thought he was one of, or even THE most handsome guys in Ravenclaw ... maybe even the whole school if his ego was really that big.

"Now, it seems everytime I bump into you I'm planning to go somewhere. Yet again I'm changing my plans." Jude winked ather playfully. Meh, his dad's letter could wait, surely he'd let him off for being late as he was in the presence of a genuinly gorgeous lady friend.

Katheryn looked up at the ceiling and smiled at the falling snowflakes. She looked down at the boys and said, "A snow fight sounds great." She noticed that there was three of them and she would be left out. Being the only girl out of the three of them certainly had its toll. "That sounds like a great idea," she said, "at least no one will be left out. See you later then." She continued to have something to eat to try and keep herself warm. She looked down at the table and noticed that she couldn't go out in what she was wearing. She turned to Tyler and said, "I need to put on something warm. I'll be right back."

Tariana smirked. "What makes you think I wouldn't give you a straight answer?" She bit her bottom lip to keep from giggling. Jude was far more amusing than he knew.
The smirk returned to her lips when he winked at her. "Changing your plans? Where were you headed before? Going to write a letter to daddy telling him all about your crush on me?" Fliiiirt mode. Tariana was enjoying herself. She walked closer to Jude for a moment, allowing their hands to brush. Tease. And she knew he wouldn't fully feel the heat of her hand, so she was safe.

Tyler then looked down and realized he couldn't go fight in the snow in a short sleeved shirt . "Hang on , Kat ! I need to change to !" he said , running up behind her smiling . Today was going to be a good day , he could feel it .

"I know I'm right, and I know you're going to play with me. So, I know you were over there, with Jacob, and I'm not listening to you anymore about it." Jude chuckled to himself, before seeing the owlery. Meh, they continued to walk past it.

Jude gasped sarcastically. "How did you know?! Wow Tari, you're FAR too good for ME to ever have a crush on you." PFFT, NO girl was ever to good. But, Tari was making him think differentely. "You're beautiful AND psychic. I'm very impressed. But ... way outta my league. I can only get boring, average looking girls." He smiled.

"Oh drats. You're sucking the fun out of my game!" Tariana pretended to look hurt, but she couldn't for long. Whenever she was around Jude, she couldn't help but smile.
She giggled, but stiffened slightly when he called her 'Tari'. That was Jacob's name for her, and he had been the only one to call her that. Ever. She considered telling Jude not to call her that, but she didn't want to offend him, so she just left it, the word hanging in the air between them.
"Thanks," she said, referring to him calling her 'beautiful'. "I know you're in love with me, Jude." She rested a hand on his shoulder, but quickly pulled back before he felt her heat. "You don't have to hide it. I'm willing to embrace it and let you be one of my fan boys, if you wish." She toyed with a few locks of her hair. "Surely someone as good looking at you can get more than 'boring, average looking girls'." She used air quotes when she repeated what he had said. "I bet you even have a girlfriend, don't you?" She secretly hoped he didn't.

Katheryn turned around to see Tyler running up to her. She smiled and said, "Yeah, you can't have a snow fight in that shirt. I guess this means we've found something to do." She walked alongside him towards the Hufflepuff common room.

He nodded , "Yeah , snow and t shirts aren't exactly that good together . Anyway , I think we will have a lot of fun today . " he said smiling down at her .

Katheryn laughed. "Yeah. I think we will. I just hope Jude is happier," she said realising too late that she had said something that she was thinking in her head and was meant to keep in her head.

"Oh, I'm sorry." Jude coughed in a fake manner as if he was ready to act. "Oh, Tari, you're confusing me! I thought you were over there when really you were with me all this time!? I must be going crazeh." Acting over. Oh yah. He was good.

.... there was an awkward silence as Tari didn't say anything. "You alright? Do you not want me to call you by your name?" Jude smiled a little. Tariana was such a mouthful.

"I am, I can't stop thinking about you." Jude said sarcastically, it wasn't true, but he had thought about her a lot. He could easily stop though. Haha. "I would LOVE to be ... wait, one of? How many do you think you have?" Jude raised his eyebrow slightly. "Well, yes. You'd think so, I am a catch." He said proudly, he looked in front of him and smiled to himself. "And thankyou." Tari had said thanks to him when he complimented, so it was only polite. "I'm never pleased with any of my girlfriends, I always seem to get bored after about a few weeks and dump 'em." Harsh but true, but he always found someone better. Tari was top of the leaderboard of beautiful girls however. "No ... I, uhh ... don't."

"You're crazy," Tariana laughed, the sound melodic.
She wanted to tell him to call her Tariana, but decided against it. It was a mouthful, and she didn't want to push him away. "No, Tari is fine, I suppose." She flashed him a grin to assure him.
Tariana rolled her eyes at his sarcasm. "Stop being sarcastic; you know you mean it." She bit her bottom lip. "Um, quite a few, to be honest. Apparently I'm a hit among boys." She giggled. "You are quite the catch." She bit her bottom lip again, continuing to toy with her hair as she listened to him talk about his past girlfriends. "Well I hope I don't bore you. That would ruin the game I have planned!" She stopped walking when he said he didn't have a girlfriend and fake gasped. "Surely not!" she exclaimed, clasping both of her hands on either sides of her cheeks in dramatized shock. "I thought if a boy were as pretty as you are that you'd be beating the girls off with a stick!" Score! She mentally squealed in delight. So he was single. So was she.
This. Could. Be. GOOD.
"I'm single, too," she added. "Believe it or not."

"... sexy crazy?" Ok, so there was probably no such thing, but Jude could attempt to hear her call him sexy. "You sure, cuz I can call you Tariana if you want me to?"

"Oh I do mean it Tari, my mind cannot be rid of thoughts of you." Jude was LOVING the sarcasm at moment, so much that he was using a lot more today. Haha. "If you do say so yourself." Jude snickered, she was very similar to himself in the way that they both liked to compliment themselves. "No, you're not boring. Not at all." This deserved another wink at her, just for fun.

Pretty? Ewww, what a horrible thing to call him. He was sure pretty was a way of describing girls, not incredibly gorgeous guys like himself. "You are? I had a funny feeling you were dating Jacob, but he does look MUCH older than you so." Jude shrugged.

Tariana giggled. "'Sexy crazy'? You're definitely 'sexy crazy' alright..." She smirked. "Call me whatever you want. It doesn't really matter now."
She rolled her eyes as he spoke. He used more sarcasm than she did! Pity. She might have a little competetion in that part. "It's not me, it's the boys! See how they're always staring at me?" She used her arms to direct to the space around them, where the lingering boys were all eyeing her very closely. Figures. "I can't help it. I sorta wish they wouldn't stare; it makes me feel weird, like I don't fit in. Like I'm not normal."
Tari grinned when he said she wasn't boring. "Good. I'm glad you think so. You know, that comment just made me like you even more." She winked at him, smiling sweetly.
She shook her head when he brought up Jacob. "No, Jacob's just my best friend. And he's not older than me... we're the same age, he just happens to be a few months older than me. I just turned six on December tenth, whereas he's been sixteen since February. But no, he's not my boyfriend. He's just... my gaurdian. I'm a free girl, well, in the relationship sense, not necessarily in the protection sense." She twirled her hair, her violet eyes twinkling like jewels on her face.

Jude raised his eyebrow at what she said next, he was quite surprised that she had actually agreed with what he had said. CRAZEH SEXEH. Oh raight.

When Tari gave showed him where all these guys were, apparantely. But, she was right; a bunch of gawking fellas were in very noticeable as they gossiped like girls to each other. Jude now felt like a man, he was walking with the girl that every guy in this school as talking about! WIN.

"It does makes you look more hot, not less normal. Really, I know the guys here." Jude smirked, she really was hot. "Don't worry about it, when guys look at you, it's usually a goo thing." Heck, girls looked at Jude all the time, and he loved it! "I didn't know it was possible to like me more," Jude chuckld in a rather vain way, but also laughing at her wink, she was acting incredibly cheeky.

Jude nodded in understanding. So, she was definitely single, how exciting. And, by the looks of it, he was privledged enough to talk to her, and maybe even enough to date her. "So, very single then?" He smirked, he liked the idea of that very much. "Do you mind me saying ... your eyes are quite ... different." Jude didn't want to say the colour violet was a weird colour for eyes, just because he'd never seen them before.

Tariana sighed. "Great. As if I need more of a reason to stand out even more." She continued to twirl her hair. "I know it's a good thing, but I prefer to not draw attention. I'm not some little loud mouthed diva."
She patted his arm when he spoke. "Trust me. There's plenty of room to like you in."
"Very single," she nodded. "And you are, too. What does that say to you?" She smirked crookedly, the left side of her perfectly full mouth tugging upward.
"Well, I was bound to have crazy colored eyes... my mama had silver eyes, and my dad's eyes are almost always a burgundy color." Safe. See, that gave nothing away. "But I've never met anyone with my eye color. Makes me sort of special, I suppose." She shrugged.
