"Sure! sounds good!" Xeh thought for a second. "I didn't know you were going to Romania?! My Brother works there."

"No way so does Peter! He just got a job there!"

Xehanna's mouth dropped. "No... Way! OMG i could like totally get my mom to ship me off to there to see Derek! I haven't seen him since my dad's accident so maybe we could go together!"

"Omg totally! That would be so much fun!" she squealed

"Okay first thing to do is ask when i get home!" she said smiling. "I'm so excited!"

"Me too!" she squealed. Dem pulled out a bag of bertie botts. "Do you want these? I dont like them anymore."

Xeh looked at the flavors and smirked. "No thanks." she said unpacking a penut butter and jelly samich and accioing some coffee.

"Serius lee, Xeh? Coffee? It's like 2 in the afternoon you freak."

"You know how i have to have my coffee to survive correctly!" she said and sipped the coffee.

Reese wandered towards the middle of the train,after not being able to find a compartment to in the back.Why couldn't she find anyone to sit with?This wasn't cool.She sighed to herself as she found a vacant compartment.She slid the door open and went inside.She sat her cat's cage and owl's cage down on the floor and sat down.She had a feeling the ride home was going to be quite boring.

Cale continued his little stroll down the corridors, yelling at people every few seconds who were being too loud or running around like buffoons. He really should never have left the prefects carriage. He missed the sanity in there.

As he passed by a compartment, he noticed that Reese was sitting alone inside. What was with the girls sitting alone in compartments? Didn't they know that was dangerous?!? He knocked and walked in with a grin. "Hey there Reese...what's up?"

Reese heard someone knock on the compartment and looked up when Cale walked in.Why did it have to be Cale?It's not like she didn't want to talk to him,but she didn't want to get all upset,again.She's already shed enough tears for him in the corridor that day with Emiliano.And,yet,she knew she was going to cry again.

"Hello Cale,"she finally said. "Oh,nothing much.Just hanging around,doing nothing.What about you?" She looked away for a minute as she thought about Cale leaving.She needed to get this thought out of her headand she also needed to grip the fact that Cale wouldn't be here next year.

Before she knew it,Reese jumped up from her seat and flung herself into Cale's arm,crying. "Caaaaaaale,I don't want you to leave me,"she told him."Please just don't leave.Who's going to be here to protect me or comfort me when I need comforting?" There were so many questions,yet,no answers.

Cale was just about to ask if she was going anywhere over the summer when suddenly, she flung herself at him, crying her eyes out. OHMIGOSH! Emotional girl alert! "Reese, it's ok!" he assured her, patting her awkwardly on the back. "I may be leaving NOW but that doesn't mean we can't hang out over the summer! Or when you're on break--it's not like it's goodbye forever," he insisted. He'd always be there to hang out with Reese. They were practically like siblings!

"Trust me, I WILL find a way to protect you. I WILL," he told her, half kidding and half being serious. "And if you ever need to talk, owl me," he told her.

"No,it's not okay,Cale.I know I'm going to see you over to the summer,but I want you HERE next term,"Reese told Cale.Why did Cale have to graduated now?She loved Cale(like a sibling,of course) and she didn't want to come to school next term without him.It just wouldn't be the same. "How do you know it's not going to be goodbye forever?You don't know what the future holds for you.You might-get caught up with things and just-forget about me or something like that.You never know!"

Reese finally decided to let go of Cale and when he feet touched the ground,she stepped back a few steps. "How?That's what I want to know?How are you going to protect me when you aren't here?"She asked him as she wiped her tears away from her face,but that didn't help,more tears kept forming. "Okay,I will owl you if I need someone to talk to,"she told Cale.

"Because, as long as we're friends, I'll NEVER let it become forever. I swear," Cale said with a grin. "I'll never forget about you! You're one of my best friends, so don't even think like that," he told her sternly.

He tapped his chin in thought when she asked him how he would protect her. "I'll have Anna's bodyguard protect you," he said with a cheeky grin.

Reese nodded her head."Okay,I believe you,"she told him.She looked up at him and smiled.It was good to hear that Cale wouldn't let their goodbye's last forever.And,honestly,she didn't even want to say goodbye.

"What?!"Reese said,trying not to laugh."Are you serious?I don't think I need a bodyguard."When she thinks of a bodyguard,Reese thinks of a big,muscular man.Was Anna's bodyguard big and muscular?Errrrm-let's hope not.Her bodyguard might scare everyone away from Anna.

Then,she thought back at the garden when she asked Cale if Anna's bodyguard was cute,then it dawned on her."You know,you never answered my question about Anna's bodyguard being cute." She raised her eyebrow at him. "So,is he?"

"Sure I am! He's not really a BODYGUARD, per say, more like a...mole. He's gonna watch over her and distract any potential troublemakers from getting too close to her. Although, now that I think about it, that poor kid might be in trouble if anyone tries to fight back..." he said, wrinkling his eyebrows. That kid in a fight? HA!

"Reese, I don't go around looking at other guys figuring out if they're cute enough for you or anything," he told her with a chuckle, shaking his head. "He's a nerd, Reese. Hardly your type."

"A mole?Out of all the things you could compare him to you compared him to a mole?I wouldn't want to be compared to a mole.They're weird looking,"Reese told Cale with a little smile.She listened to Cale talk about Anna's bodyguard getting in trouble if he got into a fight. "Oh,now you're calling him weak.You're just not being nice to that poor little boy,are you?"

Reese sat back down on the seat and looked up at Cale. "Well,you know,you said you were going to find a boyfriend for me,"she informed him. "So,you're SUPPOSE to be looking at guys for me." She leaned back in the seat and laughed to herself,but the laughing stopped when Cale said the guy was a dork. "And who said dork-type people weren't my type?"

"What? A mole isn't a BAD thing...they're sneaky!" Cale said. "And I never said he was weak! You're taking everything I say out of context!" he insisted, crossing his arms stubbornly. "He's not like, a big buff guy or anything. That's all I meant. Sheesh."

"I don't remember agreeing to such a thing," he said, when she told him he was supposed to be looking for a bodyguard for her. "I'm supposed to be PROTECTING you from boys, remember?"

Rolling his eyes he chuckled. "Fine, I'll keep that in mind next time I go boy hunting for you."

"Annnnnd,they're UGLY,"Reese informed Cale."Well,you said he would be in trouble if he got in a fight.What was that suppose to mean excatly?" She looked up at Cale and grinned. "I personally think you meant he was weak,but-do tell me what you really meant."

Reese slightly rolled her eyes. "Well,I don't want to be protected from boys,I want to have a booooooyfriend,"she said while crossing her arms. "I don't like being single."

"Wait,wait,wait,"Reese said."How much of a dork is he?"She gave Cale and evil little smile.You never know,she might actually like this guy when she meets him.You just will never know.

"Nothing! I didn't mean anything," Cale said with a frown. Sheeeeesh, he just wanted her off his case now. "You know what, I was wrong--if he got in a fight he'd win. No questions."

"You don't need one. Boyfriends are nothing but trouble," Cale said with a chuckle and a grin. "Enjoy being single while you can!"

"I dunno...that's a weird question," he told her. "He likes to read, and he does all his homework like a good little boy, I guess."

"HmmmmMmmmm," Reese said. "I doubt that is true.If you said he would be in trouble,then he must not be a good fighter...and he's weak."Bwahahaha.Now she was being mean to this little boy.

"But-Caaaaaaale,"Reese whined. "I want a boyfriend and I want it NOW.And,if you don't want to find me one,then I'll find one myself." She knew her boyfriend had to match Cale's qualifications,but-Cale wouldn't be here next term.He might never know if she got a boyfriend or not. "I have a question Cale.Let's say that I do get a boyfriend next term and let's say he doesn't match you're qualifications to become my boyfriend,what would you do?"

"Oh,so he's a goodie two shoes?He doesn't get in trouble and all that good stuff,"Reese said with a grin. "I want to meet this guy now." She honestly did.He sounded like a cool little fellow. "What's his name?Or do I not get to know this guy's name?"

Reese patted the seat next to her, "It's time to sit down,Cale." He didn't need to sit up the whole time.

Fred was about to fall asleep from all the stress he was having lately but before he could he heard someone starting to talk and then stop half-way. In any normal circumstance he would have say something rude but he was tired to always having to be 'the bad guy' even thought it was in his nature. Pushing his hood that was covering his face, he look from where the voice was coming from. Noticing that she was heading in the opposite direction he stood up and walk toward her. "I don't mind sharing my compartment... T's ok." Been nice to someone was rather hard and unusual, maybe he could need some practice, who knows.

Helena turned back around, hoping he really just didn't mind and that she wasn't going to be a problem to him. Oh, okay, thanks. She threw him a smile, her blue eyes refraining from scanning him more intently for the moment. Instead she walked inside the compartment and, happy to be free of her luggage, sat down across from where the boy had been sitting. I'm Helena, by the way. Lena for short. She smiled again.

Walking back toward where he had been sitting earlier he glanced at the girl who was now sharing his compartment. He was wondering what he should say or do. Peoples skills wasn't something he had ever been good at and this was surely very easy to see. Crossing his arms in front of him, he just nod when she told him her name. This was an unusual name in his opinion but at least it wasn't a boring one. "Nice to meet you Lena. I'm Frederic but I rather be call Fred."

Not sure if a small talk would annoy her, he decided to give it a go. "Got a nice term this year?" What kind of question was that. A huge boring sign could have appear on his forhead and it would have given the same result. "I mean... I didn't see much of what was going on this term... Anything interesting... It must have been... There is always something at Hogwarts, even when you don't espect it."
