Josh heard a certain hufflepuff...what was his trouble doing? He looked over to shake his head at the two. Where was agie.. the three of them together would make a complete show. He was afraid he might have to step in sometime soon. At least someone should.


Josh looked at her as she said she was going to some day." yeah.. when im old and cant play anymore." he teased her as he then moved to put an arm around her and give her an one arm hug. He managed to leave his arm around her as he listened to her story. " beauxbatons? you like it there?" he asked as he heard the shower comment.Anyway."You will have to sing for me. I would like to hear." he told her as he then looked over to see sana...what was going on in this room.

Amelia shook her head at Lyra's reaction to the bug. Mental note: afraid of bugs. With that she dropped it back into its phial that she held with her other hand. "Sorry Lyra, but just wanted to point out that its not going to hurt you. Honestly."

Her attention was then broken by the sound of someone crashing into someone else who knocked Fabian over!? She gasped, trying really hard to refrain from laughing. She bit her lower lip and watched the situation.

Ariana laughed and leaned against the hug dropping a kiss against his cheek. "I did like it there actually. I love France and it's been my home for as long as I can remember." She shook her head rather emphatically about the suggestion of her singing. "Not a chance. I don't really like to sing for people." She told him before getting distracted by the sound of falling. What?...Ari shook her head and thought about going over there to check on Fabi knowing that a fall back would have hurt his back perhaps. Oh well. If he needed her he could tell her.

Fabian watched the Hufflepuff Prefect for a moment, Good god, what was her name again? She probably told him a hundred times already. At least. But Lyra was quick to pounce on the girl, so Fabian rolled his eyes and continued his search for Ryder.

"MMhhhmmm Lyra" Fabian replied thoughtfully, "he was indeed the brave Slytherin who guarded the cages. You should introduce yourself to him.. wait no. Do not" he caught himself. She was marrying Christian, that was it. Full stop, or maybe not when someone smacked straight into him.



"Whoaah!" Fabian blinked hysterically before coming to his senses and held Sana at arms length immediatly, well right after he recognized her. What happened? He was never at loss for words, except now. "What the deuce happened?" he barked rubbing his cheek with the inside of his wrist before bringing himself to full height. Kids were beyond control! Someone needs to box their ears! Each one of them!

Agie walked over to Josh and Lyra with a smirk on her face. "Need and help?" She asked. Deciding to ignore Mia, who was also standing nearby.

"Thank you, professor," Diabolica smiled. "Yes, quite a few times before...whenever it was needed for potions...or every so often for a creature's diet, if a certain part of the body was needed."

Casting her eyes toward the girl, she set down the container of leeches and transferred the current one she had been wringing out to her left hand with the phial and wiping her partly slime-covered right hand off on her uniform. She walked toward the girl, offering her now partly clean hand. "Diabolica Black. Pleasure to meet you, ...?"

Josh blushed maybe just a little when she kissed him. Well she was looking the other way so that was good. he looked at ari as he was about to keep talking when he saw... agie, mia and lyra.. oh that was bad. Agie was going to devour the prefect. "um..Ari. I'll be back. I have to go save someone." he told her as he then walked over to agie and lyra."hey whats going on?" he asked them." Hey beautiful." he said smiling to lyra. He looked over at mia and smiled.

Lyra began to breathe again as Mia finally put that nasty thing away. She placed a hand over her chest and sighed. "Thank you for pointing that out, Mia," she eyed the girl for a moment, then smiled weakly. "I will remember that next time."

Lyra turned her attention towards her uncle who...what? Oh we are not getting into this again! "I would rather refrain from the introductions because it would just put into play yet another suitor for my hand in marriage." She rolled her eyes as this day was just full of surprises. But unknown to her she was about to speak again when she then heard a loud thump. She turned her head downwards and saw her uncle on the floor with... "Oh my god! Sana?" she exclaimed in a low but puzzled voice. Not good! Not one bit! She covered her eyes to hide what she just witnessed.

"Oh thank you someone does love me," she spoke freely as she now heard another voice, Agie. This broom cupboard was becoming a bit too crowded for her taste but, she gave her word to her uncle that she would help out in anyway possible. "Agie, I have missed you so! Where have you been because Mia, here, has been showing me...those." She pointed, keeping her arm and hand as closely to her body as possible. "Eww!"

Lyra then turned to a new girl that walked up and introduced herself. "Oh Diabolica," she greeted with a smile..no half smile, look towards half cleaned hands...back to face...full, scared smile. She finally took the girl's hand and gave a quick shake. "Nice to meet you. I'm Lyra Noir. And sorry, I'm not a big fan of...bugs." She giggled lightly as she kindly began wiping her hand on the back of her robes.


And then one more voice..."Josh?" she asked as she turned around and saw him standing behind her. She didn't really know what to say at that moment but she smiled as if she were up to something, but really she was up to nothing...nothing but bug eyeballs.

"Hi Josh. I just came over." She smiled. Loving the fact that Josh rushes over when she came. Doesn't Josh trust Agie and Lyra with Mia/ Probably not. She grinned more. Time for fun. "Josh, did you know that Mia once had a crush on Marco. He even asked her out once." Her face had shifty written all over it. "I just thought you should know.


"Yes, I love you too. Aren't you lucky." She said smiling to Lyra. Agie eyed Mia and then turned back to Lyra. "What she actually thinks she can approach you. And with bugs! Can you believe her? Who does she think she is?" Agie giggled with a shock look on her face. "oh that's right. Amelia Rose, Hufflepuff prefect." Agie laughed imitating her.


"I missed you too...I was in detention with your uncle." She giggled. "Oh I have to tell you something about that. But later, where we cannot be over heard." She said slyly.

If the other girl hadn't had fallen on top of Fabian, she might have noticed him watching her. But oddly enough, he never did respond to her statement about having the beetles. Probably forgot her name again...



Amelia shook her head subtly as the Gryffindor captain walked over to where she was standing, but completely ignored her presence. Not that she minded, but it would be nice if she acknowledged her at least. Besides, she still had absolutely no idea what the girl had against her to begin with.


The sixth year was quite pleased though when Josh showed up in their presence. Although he really just was speaking to Agie and Lyra, at least he smiled at her. She returned a smile back, but decided not to say anything given who was standing beside her.


Turning her attention back to Lyra, she smiled as the girl had actually for a change thanked her and smiled at her. That hadn't happened since she began dating Josh. "You're welcome, Lyra."

Of course, then just a few moments later, she overheard her talking with Agie and complaining about the beetles she had shown her. She bit her lip to attempt to keep from interjecting; just wait and see what happens.



But just when Agie began to speak, she had had enough already. That girl was honestly looking for trouble. Her face reddened slightly from anger as she turned to face the Gryffindor, "Marco never asked me out! Yes, we were good friends and perhaps I did like him but that was last year. Why don't you just stay out of my business and mind your own?" She really did not have patience for this right now.

"And Lyra actually spoke towards me first, but I was correcting her on what bugs they were," she retorted back. The girl was seriously asking for it.

Josh looked over at her as she looked a bit puzzled to see him."Hey." he said just giving her a smile. he looked at her a second time ..he knew what that meant. Oh here they went again. Though...he was interested to see what she had in mind.


"Hey Agie." he said back to her as he stood close to the two girls.he looked over at agie when he heard his name." what?" he asked when she said did you know. he had a feeling it was trouble. he gave her a disgusting face." Eh..what?" he said looking over at mia as he raised an eye brow at her. " really?" he asked her. "you..and marco?" he asked mia. Gah now he needed to barf."Friends?" he asked her. Wow... she dropped some points on that one.

Jason holds the leetches and then puts them where Ari and Proffesor clark want them.

Amelia's face reddened even more when Josh looked at her. She could tell that he didn't exactly get along with housemate. "Yes, friends Josh. Like you and me." she rolled her eyes, wondering how men could be so thick sometimes. Part of her wanted to say, duh, I'm a huffie - friendly, but she knew Agie would taunt for that comment. So she just didn't say anything at all.

Sana chuckled more at his reactions. He should be. There was no wonder. She slowly looked up and got his gaze again as he was asking something about the sudden dramatic sequences.

"Mmm...nothing to panic, professor. It's Lima, my friend got tripped off behind me.." she turned her head again to Lima, giggling.

"Are you okay Professor? Did you get hurt on your back?" she asked again, running her eyes over him.

Simultenously she heard another low voice near her, pronounced her name. She turned around, noticed that it was Lyra, who covered her eyes.
Smiled and asked, "Did you call me, Lyra?"

Agie looked at Mia. "Sorry, this was a private conversation." She said with a fake smile. "And that wasn't what I heard. He did ask you out. You don't have to lie about it....So you did like him." She smirked. "Fine by me." Agie added and turned her back on her. The damage was already done. She didn't need to talk to her anymore.

Agie nodded to Josh and now sat back to enjoy the scene. It was a time for popcorn again. Agie glanced over at Lyra and gave her a wink.

She laughed. "It's a pleasure, Lyra. I've heard many good things about you, and I'm glad to finally meet you." she nodded to Lyra. "I understand... many people are not a fan. I personally am not a fan of leeches at times, but I don't mind them, and it's for a good cause..."

he looked at mia as she explained. Just like you and me. Oh that was bad termage. he looked at agie as she said that he did ask her out. And she did like him. Oh the things you learn. josh looked over at mia with a disapproved look.Marco. Egh. They would have to talk later.....she was in trouble. he turned to looked agie and lyra as he was having to much fun for his own liking.

Oh Lyra loved a good story and Agie stories, well, they were the best by far. Always trouble, always full of excitement...yep! That was her Agie. "Oh, I will be sure to hit you up about that later on. I have to hear what happened." She giggled lightly as she placed a hand over her mouth.

Lyra pressed her lips together. "Ummm, sorry, I couldn't see across the room. All little black bugs look the same to me from a distance until you stick them in my face," she was still being....somewhat nice at this point until the smirky look fell onto her face. What was Agie doing bringing up...ohhhh! *lightbulb* Where there was Agie and Mia, there was trouble..and I don't mean Lyra either. Gasp! She couldn't believe her ears. She had to turn her face for a moment...wrong direction.

Yep! She turned right towards Josh as the two girls discussed the situation among the students...Marco in particular. She looked around the room, trying not to pay attention but she heard every word. She looked behind her as she placed her hands behind her back, smiling at the people back there, and then turned her attention to the other side of the room. Sigh!

Then, yet another person called her name. She was pretty popular in this room at the moment, but why? Her eyes widened as she noticed who it was. "Oh!" she began with hesitation. "I was just...er..um...making sure you were okay." She hadn't talked to the fellow Hufflepuff in quite sometime as she placed a smile on her face for a second. "Are you okay?"

Lyra turned her head towards Diabolica and smiled. "Oh I'm glad you heard the good things, it was the bad things I would be worried about." She giggled for a moment as she listened to her speak. "They are just...slimy and...you would think that bugs wouldn't bother me as much as I like the animals that my uncle has, especially Fex. There is no one like Fex. But..." she shrugged as she giggled again. "It is a pleasure as well to meet you."

Rhiannon resisted the urge to roll her eyes at the number of people crowding the broom cupboard. There was also the fact that it seemed like almost everyone she knew at the school was showing up. Now, if the rest of the Ravenclaw Quidditch team, as well as Tia appeared, that would really be true. And it seemed that Amelia still hadn't given their extracted beetle eyes to Professor Branxton.

And once again, she was practically invisible. And quickly being pressed against the wall, which was causing her to have to do a weird backbend, since she was still standing in front of the bowl of clams in water. But even if she tried to say something, it would probably be drowned out by all the other conversations going on.

"Oh, I see!!!" Sana played a crooked smile. She knew that Lyra was so sensitive over her uncle Fabian. But that was purely an accident. She shrugged, "I'm alright..thanks. Seems your uncle is still in shock..." she was flashing a smile at her again as she adjusted her robes. "How about you?"

Mia was just digging herself in a deeper how. Wow. This was getting easy for Agie, all she had to do was mention one little thing and it turned into something so entertaining. Agie was following Lyra's example and holding in her giggles as Josh looked at her. Mia was in trouble. Looks like someone is out of Josh's good books. And it was all too easy.



Agie winked, Lyra would like this story. Agie was very amused at Lyra's sudden interest in everything in the room but them. Her face was going red with trying to hold it in. Agie had to look in the other direction to avoid losing it as well. She glanced back at Mia. Waiting to see what sad excuse she would come up with.

"Ah, well, everybody has their faults." Dia shrugged. "One could think that, but occasionally there is something about insects that is disquieting. Though I never have a problem with arachnids, per say." she smiled at Lyra. "Of course."

Lyra chuckled lightly at Sana as she spoke of her uncle's shocking look. "Yeah, well, he's had a rough day as it is. I'm sure his blood pressure is sky high at the moment, but, I'm sure he will be okay." If only she had seen the office incident then she would probably understand that statement.

She then gave a small stretch turning her attention from a giggling red-faced Agie for a moment. She couldn't laugh, not right now and it would be Agie's snickering that would make her loose it. "Oh I'm fine...fine," she repeated as she kept her hands behind her back. "Just school...bad uncle's...you know, the 'same old thing different day' routine." At this moment she was lost. She really couldn't get into a conversation because a professor could interrupt at any moment and there was enough chattering going on around her.

Dia sure seemed to know her insects which was more than Lyra could say at the moment. To her a bug was a bug unless it was someone absolutely needed for a class or potion mixture. "So if I ever had a question about any type of insect, I know just who to go too for help." She raised a brow as she was speaking about Dia herself. It was always nice to meet another student around the school.

Barry peared through the door and wondered what was going on "Please no Marco" he whispered and then got in "Whats going on here " he asked

Ari watched as Josh moved away and headed herself towards Fabian. "Being swept off your feet are we?" She teased him with a grin.
