Chris was walking, but not pay any attention to where he was going. He was rereading the note Mel had sent him for like the hunderth time. He already knew it by heart. But he was just happy she had finally written to him.

Since he wasn't watching what was going on a bounce ball hit him in the stomch. It didn't hurt him but it caused him to look up from the note. The ball was now slowly stopping to bounce near his foot. He picked it up and put the note back in his pocket. He looked around for Emiliano knowing it was his. "Hey Em you really should watch where you're bouncing this thing." He said teasing him and handed it back to him.

"What? Hey Oye! Stop the flashing!" He blinked blinked some more and then shook his head. "What's screaming? Tino? What's wrong?" He reached out with both hands and ended up patting Tobi in the chest. "Are you ok?"

"Eeeppp!" The gnomtruckle hit the wall and slid down. It was unharmed, but effectively knocked out...

...for now anyway.
"Vale?" He could hear her but not see her. He gave Tobi another pat. "Is he ok? Where's the gnomtruckle? I heard a thunk."

Emiliano went chasing the toy. GAhhh...it was just getting on his nerves, for real!! Just when he was about to step onto the tapestry room, he noticed Chris, hiding something in his pocket. Curiousity killed the cat, Emiliano!! He thought to himself and then he cleared his throat. But...what could it be?

"Oh, I'm so sorry if it hit you, again..." He recalled and shrugged. "It's just that Muggle toys are still an attraction to me, after a circus I visited last summer." Nice...just like a little kid, he was excited, for a Circus!!!???

"How have you been? Anything new going on?" He asked him.

Evolette yawned as she leaned against the wall. Boring. Boring, and oh wait, what's this? Oh, just more boring. Sigh.

Suddenly there was an irritating bouncing noise. Ugh.

Tossing a glance over her shoulder, she saw the boy who was making the annoying noise. He was kind of cute. Hmm. She stayed where she was though. Today was a good day for an ego boost. She wanted to be pursued.

Emiliano could notice a girl. He had seen her around, yet never talked to her...or even tried to. She seemed to have been bothered by the little bouncing toy he had now in his hands. "I'm sorry if it bothers you..." He told her, wait...it was more a whisper than his true voice. Great...

God, she was gorgeous...but...inside his head. Slap, slap, slap...

Blue eyes tearing away from her manicure, Evolette raised an eyebrow as the boy she had just spotted started talking to her. Smart he was. That was for sure.

"Don't mind me, I have a high tolerance for cute boys." she said, smiling at him.

"Err..." Emiliano had never been called...cute. That was for sure. Well, except his mother.

He let out a silent chuckle and showed his wide smile. "Anyways, I'm sorry..." Emiliano said once again. "By the way, I'm Emiliano, Emiliano Saenz..." He introduced, letting his head do a slight bow to the girl.

Valentine looked up over at Cale, seeing him dazzle about blindly. now he talks to me She rolled her eyes and then nodded. "He seems to be okay, hasn't vomited yet." She explained wiping the blood from her hands onto her robes.

Valentine turned around. The thing! he wasn't.... he wasn't moving! Valentine's eyes dashed towards the blind Cale, then to the injured Toni, and over at Tobi. She didn't know if the thing was to be dead or alive, but as long as it was not moving she would get it.

Valentine got up away from the boy, her backpack still in hand. She slowly moved towards the gnometruckle. It one fast motion Valentine scooped the creature into the the open bag, and closed it tight. "I GOT HIM!" she squealed.

Chris chuckled. "No it's not a problem it didn't hurt or anything." He said and heard Emiliano talk about going to the circus. "Oh really? Umm that's cool." He said and nodded.

"I've been fine. Ah yeah it's just I got a letter from Melinda." He said and pulled the note out of his pocket.

Chris then saw a girl and Emiliano started talking. He put his head down and tried not to laugh as he saw Em particaly drooling over her. But he didn't really want to stay and watch these two flirt. "I'll see you later Em. I better get going." He said and put the note again back in his pocket and walked the other way.

Jane was admiring the tapestry from afar. She was behind on of the columns at the right end of the corridor. She saw Chris walking away.

It's now or never.

Jane walked up to him and smiled.

"Are you ever going to sing to me?"Jane asked with a big grin, knowing Chris would think she was MAD, but she didn't care. It was the only way to get him to talk.

Chris was walking away from the tapestry. He still had a smile on his face as he thought of the letter in the pocket. But then he he was stopped by Jane. This scared him slightly and made him jump back a litte.

"Oh the song. Umm yeah I will sing for you anytime just tell me when." He told her.

Jane grinned even more and touched her turquoise clip in her hair.

"Yay!!"Jane smiled and almost jumped on the spot.

"See you later then, gotta do homework. Do you want to do homework with me?"Jane asked, hoping he would.

Chris watched as Jane got all excited. He bit his lip.

"Oh umm..." He thought about it for a minute. What's the worst that good happend? "Sure why not." He said and smiled slightly. But the took a look back over his shoulder at Emiliano and that girl.

"Why wasnt i invited to this bal...oh, right, probably because i dont know they people that were throwing it and it was invite only, right?" He sighed and continued, "Had a chance to see my best friend and didnt get too. Oh well. Maybe i can get him to meet me for the next hogsmead visit. I have only been to one this term." He was mostly saying this to him self, thinking out loud.

"It was Invite plus one. Nico went as Evee's date. I guess you could have gone if you knew one of the other people that went there." Then she remembered something. "Oooh! Guess who else was there!?" She knew of another of Maddox's best friends that had attended.

Maddox sighed again. Of course Evee would invite Nico. She was the first to recieve a letter too. "why am I not surprised? Oh well." He shrugged it off and was suddenly perplexed about who could have been that that he knew that she was excited to tell him about. "I dont know who?"

"Hmm?" she said slightly confused about that first comment. But she shook it off. "Astrid! I talked to her a bit and asked what had happened to her. She was there with that Ross guy." She sorta missed Astrid now. She was another really nice person. Too bad she never really got to talk to her much.

Lowering her camera, Miranda was really confused and shocked at the crazyness these people were part of.
"What are you guys doing!?" she exclaimed, maybe boys just acted this weird all the time. Maybe, she should just get the ribbit out of there before anything weirder happened...

"Uh... Thanks for the-"
*FLASH*
What was that!? Someone, or several people, had screamed, and then there were these strange noises. Miranda was so startled she accidentaly pressed the trigger again.
Jumping back a bit, she blinked and wondered what they had been doing...
"You didn't by any chance take a pogrebin potion you shouldn't have, did you?"

Eh.
