Lima listened to Amanda, trying to take in everything she said to her. But it was hard as she was getting so wrapped up in her own thoughts. She just nodded and said, "Toronto ... Wow! I've always wanted to go there." It was like ... the New York of Canada. "That would be awesome! Thank you!" she said upon hearing about where she would be able to practice.

"The guitars in the practice area, you can take them off the walls and use them, all of them except for one. It is one I designed, its all black with the Slytherin House Crest on the fretboard and a big white x on the body. That one is the one I'm using for the first show in Toronto, since it is a brand new guitar." Amanda said, taking out a picture of the practice area and showing it to Lima.

She raised her brow. Wow, that sounded impressive. She wondered of she could design a SlytherPuff guitar. But then what would it look like? A snake and a Badger? And what colour? Hmmm. She didn't pay any attention until a picture was handed to her. She looked at ti and saw that it was of the place she would practice in. She nodded her head in approval.

"I've got to get going, I've got some more songs to write for my album. I'll owl you before I leave Manchester to let you know where to come meet me, I'll have my private jet stop in Paris to come get you." Amanda said, getting up and putting her guitar case back on her back, leaving the pictures and tour schedule with Lima.

She smiled at Amanda and said, "sounds great. I'll talk to you later." She gave the girl a wave as she waked off, then went back to her meal after she tucked the pictures and schedule into her bag. She would have to tell the others later.

Cedric sat on his house table..He was so tired

"Mum always said to let the lady choose, so since you're Team Puff, Team Puff's table it will be. Plus, you're like, all important and stuff," Plymouth motioned to the Prefect badge thingy. Plymouth needed a badge.

Plymouth did the gesture that she should sit first. "So. Kayla The Prefect Winters. Would you mind telling me what it is about me that you ... didn't like... up until our mending a bit ago?"

"My, my you're mother has brought you up well Plymouth" Kayla remarked and then laughed as she took a seat. "You know you can just call me Kayla, I'm not one for titles."

She considered his question for a moment before answering, "It's not that I didn't like you as such. I'm just looking out for Celandine and well I can come across as rather...forceful so to speak when I am protecting something or someone" Kayla picked up a jug of pumpkin juice and poured her and Plymouth a glass. "I knew how Nicholai was going to react to the news of his baby sister out kissing boys for the first time and so since he is not here, I kind of took on his role" she shrugged, not that it was right but that's how it was. "Plymouth, I can see now that you are a genuine guy. All I can say is if you ever do meet Nico, just be patient and tell him everything you told me and hopefully he will come around." And if he doesn't I really hope you are good with your wand she thought.

"If he's anything like Cela," Plymouth said and then paused to drink a big gulp from his juice, "then I'm sure I'll like him just fine. And him me, cause Celandine Toussaint my girlfriend extraordinaire likes me a whole lot. I have no idea why, but she does." Plymouth grinned rather foolishly and then leaned into Kayla. "You think you might start liking me enough to extend some of that priceless protection?"

Kayla gave Plymouth a rueful smile, "Unfortunately Plymouth, he is nothing like Celandine. But maybe, just maybe he will be nice to you for Cela's sake. Like I said before just be patient and tell him how much Cela means to you." She took a sip of her pumpkin juice and almost snorted it up her nose and what Plymouth said next. "Oh I hope you're not trying to put me in the middle of you and Nico? I may like you Plym but even I am not that stupid. The best I can do is to make sure that he doesn't get carried away too much" she gave him a wink and patted him on the shoulder. "So have you and Cope sorted out your differences?"

Cedric saw Kayla and Plymouth chatting"Hello there..umm,Kayla why your not with Tobi?"Cedric asked

"You DO like me!" Plymouth grinned and nudged Kayla with his elbow. "I could tell before, but now, oh you do. I'm so glad. I hate having people wish I would die or leave or something." Plymouth poked his finger into a nearby pudding for no apparent reason. Just nervous energy, perhaps. "Pernicoo is alright, I guess. He.. He likes CellBell, too. I wish he didn't. It makes me feel like... like a bad person? But, we talked and I guess things are alright..."

Plymouth answered for her, "Because Tobi Aviolent hates my guts, probably. For NO reason whatsoever. Can you believe that? With the exception of Anna, those Gryffindory type are funny. And I'm not talking the "haha" type of funny."

Kayla looked over to the boy who had spoken and she remembered him from the COMC lesson. She raised an eyebrow at his question, "Just because we had a snowball fight together doesn't mean we're boyfriend and girlfriend" she muttered.

Chuckling as she pulled a plate towards her, she ladled out some stew and pushed the plate towards Plymouth and then did the same for herself. "Yes Plym, I do like you but don't go getting carried away because you know if you do anything wrong by Cela, I will have to hurt you." She picked up a fork and scooped up some stew and placed it into her mouth, she chewed slowly and then swallowed before speaking again. "Why does he make you feel like a bad person? Celandine, is a popular girl, she's going to have a number of admirer's. You just have to remember that she wants to be with you and that should be enough."

Kayla almost choked on her stew at Plymouth's comment on Tobi. "He doesn't hate you Plymouth, he's just another one looking out for Cela. And violent?" Kayla snorted, "I put Avalon on his butt, he's not violent he just picked a person he knew wouldn't hit him back."

"Aviolent..hahhah...funny maybe he was a bad-tempered person"Cedric said
"ahh,I hope that I'm not offend you..but I thought that you and tobi were on relationship because that was Herminny says

Kayla's eyes narrowed slightly, "Yes well Herminny needs to get her facts straight before she shoots off that big mouth of hers." She looked at the boy whose name she didn't know, "No offense taken. Sorry but you seem to know my name but I don't think I caught yours."

"maybe you're quite right...umm,by the way,I'm Cedric...don't you know?"Cedric said

"My apologies for being ignorant. So many students, so many names to remember" Kayla held out her hand to him. "It's a pleasure to meet you Cedric."

"Thanks nice to meet you..."Cedric grabbed Kayla's hand and shake it..

"Ooooo!" Plymouth oo'd for the stew service. Just like at home! Plymouth loved people that babied him. He inched closer to Kayla. "You're just sweet as pie, Kayla Winters! Thank you very, very much." Plymouth slurped up a big spoonful to show his appreciation for her Hufflepuff hospitality.


Then Plymouth paused to listen the younger boy and Kayla talk. PLymouth liked younger students. This Puff wasn't WILD though, like that Jake one.

"She probably wouldn't mind being with Copernicus, though. Or ... you know? I know she likes me. And I sure do like her a lot. But she likes him, too. I guess that's okay but I still feel bad." Plymouth paused, slurped again, and then continued, "I just want everyone to be happy. Which of us would your Nico like best?"

Kayla shook the younger boys hand and gave him a smile before turning back to Plymouth.

"Yes I can be at times" she replied dryly. She placed some more stew in her mouth and swallowed. "it's no problems at all Plymouth, I seemed to have learnt a few things from Nico." All about how to act like a lady and look after the men in her life, something she wouldn't have been able to do a couple of years ago.

"Would you be really upset if Celandine chose Copernicus over you?" she asked rather curious to know what his answer was going to be. Kayla thought about his question and she wasn't a very good liar and really she had no need to. "I'll be honest with you Plym, I think he would prefer Cope over you but that's neither here nor there. If you're the one she likes then he is just going to have to get used to it, isn't he?" Oh dear Merlin! Did she just say that? "Don't tell him I said that will you, otherwise we both might be strung up by our ankles."

Plymouth scratched his head. "Um... well yeah I'd be upset. I don't ... well wouldn't you be upset? I really don't want CellBell to NOT like me... I don't want her brother to not like me either. I don't know why people don't like me!" Plymouth exclaimed, clearly a little upset over this whole turn of conversation. He leaned over his stew and slurped with much less enthusiasm.

Cedric walked over Plymouth.."Mate..you're wrong that people didn't like you...its totally wrong..look at me..I like you as a friend..you're cool...so don't think that people didn't like you.."Said Cedric sincerely

"Yeah I would" Kayla agreed with a nod of her head. "But if she picked Cope over you and I'm only saying IF. Then wouldn't you want her to be happy?" She put her arm around Plymouth's shoulders and gave him a small one armed hug. "Merlin's beard how can anyone not like you, when you look like that? Cheer up Plymouth, you know everyone loves you."


Kayla looked up at Cedric and stifled a giggle and then looked back at Plymouth. "See Cedric likes you and that should just about make your day, shouldn't it?"

Cedric looked at Kayla,"How about you Kayla,do you like Plymouth?"Cedric asked

Plymouth was all about hugs. He nuzzled Kayla like it was the last nuzzle he may ever get and then pulled Cedric over for a hug. Plymoth had been SO WRONG about Hufflepuffs! They just were dead snuggly.


"I"m being, as Mum would say, a weed. Demanding attention and killing the mood. Because, you're right. Cedric likes me, and now you like me and want to give me hugs, Kayla," Which Plymouth was way - way into, "and Celly did choose me. Or she let me choose her." Plymouth paused - then pulled them both back in for more hugs. "I just LOVE you two!"
