Rian nodded again in agreement with Rachel's words. then she leaned over and wrapped Jenn in a hug. "Karma's right too," she added, "But when you want it to, it'll get better. And, in case you didn't know, We're all here for you," she smiled at her friend, hoping she was helping and not making things worse.

OOC: Sorry I'm so late with this. Homework.

The boy in black did not respond. It simply sat, supposedly writing something. Whatever that may be. For no words appeared on the paper, and no paper was to be found on the desk. And no response seemed to be coming from the boy.

As he sat, the little box next to him starting blinking green. At this, the boy seemed to perk up. It's head turned towards the girl. "Hel-lo" He said. "Ho-ow are yo-u-O-u?" He said.

At the same time, Jack, who was sitting on a couch, was beginning to get nervous. As if he wasn't enough already. He seemed to be talking into something though, as if he were communicating to someone, or something. Out of his cupped hands came a little wire, a fuzzy wire. If you looked close enough, it even seemed as if he were talking to the wire!

I hope this works...He thought, as he whispered little things into the wire. The chances of her believing it are quite small...But maybe she'll fall for the fact that he's mentally hurt, or something like that...And with that, he stopped 'talking' into the wire.

She nodded again, feeling slightly foolish as she nodded constantly but she really did agree with everything that was being said. She waited until Rian let go of Jenn, then moved in and hugged her herself. "We really are all here for you, so don't hesitate to come and talk to us if you need anything, and I mean anything," she said warmly, smiling encouragingly.

As Karma was looking around the room, she had seen that little black thing sitting next to the boy in the corner. She raised her eyebrow and craned her neck slightly to look to see what it was. Tilting her head, she stared at it while it began talking to her. She knew of Muggle technology, but since when had it ever been seen at Hogwarts? Turning to look to see if anyone else had seen it, she saw a boy sitting there and looking at her. She made a face for a moment, and then asked, "What is that thing?"

Samson leaned back into his chair and once again put his hands behind his head, when all of a sudden, he heard someone speak. Normally, he'd just ignore the kids inside the Common Room and leave them to their own devices. But he knew when people talked about him. He didn't know why, but he just knew. Eh.

He looked over to the girl, and rolled his eyes. "You've got a lot of nerve for a girl," he snapped. "Besides, no one asked your opinion."

Hmph. Some girls - most girls - were just too much of smarty pants for their own good.

Ludo sat in a chair by the fire. His lap was covered in parchment, notes, ink, and quill. One thing was on him mind, and one thing only: O.W.L.s

Final exams began the next morning and he was studying late into the night.
"The last goblin rebellion was...erm..." he thought, dreading the written History of Magic exam.
His only confidence rested in Potions and Herbology, though he wondered if his Herbology Professor would feel up to exams after his announcement.

Setting aside a stack of notes, Ludo moved on to Charms. "Ok...summoning and banishing...simple enough."
He sighed, looking at the hourglass above the fireplace. Ravenclaw was dead last for the House Cup.

"Wit beyond measure..." he thought, focusing on these hopeful words.

Jenn had been quite for awhile but now she smiled. "Thanks you guys. And you guys are right. I mean, he was someone special, but I'll find someone even more special."she said determinedly.

Jenn smiled again. "Aww. Thanks."she said, hugging them all. "I'll remember that. So if I come with my problems,"she started to giggle,"then you know why."she said, trying to pull a serious face.

Rian's eyebrows widened at the older boy that told Karma that she had alot of nerve. She was going to reply to him, but thought better of it. Instead, she just replied to Jenn.

"Oh, I'm sure I'd already know why," she teased.

Karma laughed at Jenn when she hugged her, and then sat back again waiting to see what she would say now. "Anytime," Karma said, smiling.


Karma watched her look at the boy in the other direction, then turned back to face her. "Oh come on, Rian," Karma said, teasing her now. "Our whole life doesn't revolved around boys now." She looked at them, and mouthed Hold on. She got up, and walked over to the boy.

Karma had raised her eyebrow at the boy snapping at her. "Sorry but I don't think you realize that this isn't Slytherin," she said, getting up out of her seat and walking towards him. "See this blue on our robes, and the eagle? This is representing Ravenclaw. Or are you too blind to see it? I'd suggest trying to be nicer to girls. And, you don't have to get snappy with me for being honest here." She rolled her own eyes, and shoved his arm out of the way so she could sit on the armrest. "Your attitude? Yes, it's got to go. Not many of us are wanting to deal with it. So take your uncaring, snotty attitude somewhere else. No one wants to deal with you here."

Rian rolled her eyes at Karma, but smiled. She knew she was teasing. When she stood up and walked over to the boy, Rian watched. She realized that it wasn't the most polite thing to do, so she turned around. But they were close enough for her to hear their conversation. She giggled quietly at Karma's comeback.

Jenn pulled a face at Rian and laughed. "Sure."she said, simply. She cocked her head in cofusion as Karma left to go to a boy. She laughed loudly, then covered her mouth. Karma was good at come backs. She looked over at Rian and noticed she was giggling also.

Yawns. There were two reasons why someone would yawn--the person was either really sleepy, or really bored. Willow was fairly certain that the reason behind the yawn that had just came out Samsom was the latter. What a rude little boy, Samson was (Yes, she was conveniently ignoring the fact that he was several inches taller than her--but then, what male wasn't?). After having opened her mouth a couple of times to point this out, and then recommend him to learn one thing or two about manners, the brunette decided to keep her opinion about this to herself. For now.

Deciding to ignore that he'd basically called her boring and not particularly interesting, Willow allowed a little evil grin to spread across her lips at the last part of his statement. "Are you absolutely sure that's what you want, Samsom?" Sure he had just said that--but honestly, he would regret if he said yes. She would make sure of that.

"Of course I did--of happiness" responded Willow hastily, rolling her eyes at him. Surely, he couldn't honestly think she'd cried when Gavin left? But then, on second thought, he totally could; Samsom was a male, after all, and males were not exactly intelligent creatures--more like opposite, to be perfectly honest.

Blinking at his closeness, before glaring furiously at him, Willow huffed in clear distaste. "Do as you wish, Samsom--I could not care less," retorted the short brunette, before looking away from him, to scowl at the floor.

"People these days do not have any kind of respect for my personal space bubble." Hmph.

Scowl still featured on her face, Willow's eyes slowly raised from the navy blue carpet of the Ravenclaw Common Room, to the girl whom had obviously addressed to her as 'Poor girl frustrated.'

The scowl on her pale face, if possible, became even deeper.

"As much as I appreciate your concern," which she didn't--Willow made sure sarcasm leaked thickly on the word 'appreciate', "Whatever it is that is happening between the two of us, its our business." In other words, mind your own business!

Poor girl frustrated.

Snort.

When Willow asked if Sam was sure about what he wanted, he looked at her incredulously and shook his head once. "No," he said flatly. "Are you kidding? One sister is too much. A step-sister is too, too much. And another one like you is about all I can take before I completely die of annoyance."

Then, on Gavin again, Samson's eyes partly lit up. "Aha. See? You cried nonetheless. And I know, you were so happy that he was off to a better place, but we all knew you'd miss him. And that you still do," he continued, absolutely confident about himself. Oh. And the way she said 'do as you wish' only made him want to go through with it as soon as possible. This was going to be good. Hehehe.

The backsassing girl suddenly started speaking. Again. Ugh. So, who was she to tell him how he was supposed to act around girls? A prefect or something? A teacher? Definitely, definitely not. And even if she were a prefect - well, he'd never followed any of them anyway.

He looked up at her with bored eyes as she walked over to him and smirked. Even if she was older than him by just a petty year, he was a year too old for his year anyway. Technically, that made them even. "And, are you some kind of authority that I should follow or be afraid of? Because there really is no threatening aura coming from you, if that's what you're aiming for," he said, raising an eyebrow to her.

She then shoved his arm out of the way, and Sam stood up from the armchair, hoping to off-balance it. He then moved in front of her and scoffed. "Seriously? You're the first one to tell me that. So I think that means you're the only one with the problem here." He jerked his thumb over his shoulder to where the other people were. "If they complain, and I mean all of them, I'm outta here. But it just seems that you," - he pointed an accusing finger at her - "Are the only one who wants to get rid of me. If you've got a problem with my attitude, call my lawyer and deal with it," he snapped.

Then he heard Willow's comback, and he grinned evilly. He looked back at the girl and nodded. "You heard the lady. Mind your own business," he said simply, then turned his back on her.

And they said he had an attitude. Huh. Apparently, this girl would know.

Melinda walked in the Common Room. Really, it was the time to go to her and try to speak, because she was almost going to explode if someone didn't get in front of her.

She was almost cutting her palm skin with her fingernails.

Celandine skipped into the common room and smiled brightly at the older girl.

"You okay you look a little angry and junk."

Melinda looked around and saw Celandine coming in the common room. "Hey...Cela..." She said and tried to smile.

"I have...somewhat of an overdose of angryness inside my head and heart...for this reason, boys..." She said, quite using her sarcasm.

Karma looked up at the sound of footsteps. She saw Melinda walking into the common room, looking very frustrated. Frowning, Karma walked over to her and stood by her side. "What's wrong?"

Cela made a tortured face, "Not my brother I hope. He makes lots of girls angry or angsty and stuff." She paused and flopped down on a couch, patting the spot next to her, "Want to talk about it?" Cela grinned brightly, "I have candy, it makes everything better!" Cela rummaged in her pocket and pulled out a bag that had an assortment of chocolate and candy inside. She offered it to Melinda with a bright smile.

Melinda let her expression get out of the stress when she saw Karma. Although they had met a few days ago, all she wanted, was an enormous hug from anyone. So she hugged her tight. "Chris...boys, in general..." She answered and let out a few tears in silence.

Karma wrapped her arms back around Melinda, understanding that she needed a hug. "Boys are stupid," Karma muttered. "Well, some. Not all. What's wrong?" She pulled her away to look at her and at the tears. Without thinking, Karma took her sleeve and wiped them away from her face. "Oh sweetie, it's okay..."

"Well, he's not, Chris is not stupid...but the one trying to help him get a new girl...is just...wrong, he's supposed to do it on his own when I leave..." Melinda said, taking deep breaths while she thought about the situation a little more further. She walked out of the hug, trying to breathe a little more. "Thank you..." She whispered.

"Well the other boy is stupid then," Karma said, leading her to sit on the couch along with Cela. "Is it the fact that you're leaving Chris that hurts, or that he's already trying to move on?" She understood why it would be both - any girl would be hurt by both situation. Karma still contemplated on if she should ask Mel if she really was leaving, or rethinking the situation.

"I can get Nico to beat the other boy up if you like." Cela suggested as they joined her on the couch and she crammed her mouth with candy, "It will be fun to watch."
