Amanda was walking along the corridor when she noticed the statue of Lachlan the Lanky, ah this was where she originally wanted to be but ended up just staying in the corridor. She sat down and leaned her head against the wall, beginning to replay the whole situation that happened in the corridor a couple days ago.

Cedric wanders around the castle like he always did when classes is over.He feels bored now and then,He want to do something he would love.Swim,maybe,He really has a great desire to see Mr.Squiddard like his close friend Campy like too.As he passed by,He saw Amanda standing in front of the statue.So he headed back toward his friend."Hey Amanda,How have you been?"He asked smiling widely.

"I've been awesome." Amanda said then smiled, well she did have a reason to be happy, she was with Gabben and things were going good considering they already had 2 fights and they hadn't even been together for a month. She shook off her thoughts and then looked down at Cedric, trying to pay attention sometimes wasn't easy.

"Hmm,can you tell me something great..I mean ittt..Great that will threw my boredness away."He told Amanda.Hearing some great news between his friends will definitely make him happy.These days,Amanda had changed,and he like it though.

"Hmm, well me and Gabben are together." Amanda said with a bit of smile on her crimson lips, she had to tell Cedric because she knew that he was going to try and get her and Gabben together but obviously they didn't need anyone's help.

He was glad that his friends didn't need any help from anybody to be together,That was a great news.He would love to see Amanda and Gabben together."Really?Congrats Amanda."He uttered as he threw himself a hug towards Amanda and he needs to congratulate Gabben too.

"Yeah, we've been together for a couple weeks now and things are going well, I can admit now that I was wrong what I said about him during the summer at my house." Amanda said and smiled once again, she as quite happy being with Gabben now.

Paris was going to surprise Chris with a nighttime picnic. Well before curfew anyways, and it was going to be indoors. She had the feeling that if they were out on the grounds it wouldn't be as romantic and as nice as she wanted it to be.

She armed with a basket and a pack full of supplies she left the common and headed down the corridor toward the far end of the corridor near the windows and in the shadows.

She set down the basket and her pack. She pulled out a blanket and lad it out on the ground. It was a soft and fluffy green blanket with the Slytherin crest on the front. She secured each corner with a jar filled with a soft blue flame. She pulled out her wand and shot a few gold stars into the ceiling. They glowed softly and twinkled a few times. She smiled and sat down on the blanket to wait for Chris. She had left a him a note taped to his door. Well she had the note fly up the stairs and attach itself to his door.

Chris walked down the corridor past the darkening windows. In his hand he had a little bit of parchment with the swirly scawl of Paris Greenwood, inviting him down to a suprise.

As he turned the corner he saw her. She had oviously put alot of effort into this. There was a blanket on the floor, light in jars, and stars by the ceiling. It looked very romantic. "Hey Paris, this is nice." he bent down and kissed her on the cheek before he pulled from behind his back a boquet of pink lilies. As he handed them to her, he stowed his wand into the back pocket of his jeans quickly.

"Here you go, for you." he said as he sat down onto the blanket next to her and admiring everything. She looked really nice, she had dressed up in an outfit of her's that he just loved and her hair was fixed very nicely. He looked as the light flicked on his own white sweater and kahki pants.

"So shall we comince our first real, uninterupted date?" he smiled cheerily.

Livvy was bored... lonely... and searching for someone to hang out with and talk to. Though it had been nice. She had made a new acquaintance. Garret Crocker. All though he was a Hufflepuff, he was mighty fine for a Hufflepuff and he didn't rub it in her face that her team had lost. Though the boy was rather shy, he was still such a cuuuutie.

As she walked down the corridors, glancing around at the windows and statues, Livvy couldn't help but feel determined that the Badgers would definitely go DOWN... TOWN, next term. For Willow. After all... it was her last year... and to show their appreciation towards her being a captain and dealing with them for so long, they might as well just win it for her, right?

Livvy stopped as she spotted two figures, standing in the shadows. She cocked her head and watched them curiously, waiting to see who it was. And as their faces turned towards her direction every few moments, Livvy recognized... ONE face.

"CHHHRRRIIIISSS!"

She waited for him to turn the corner and see what she had done for the first real date. She had planned everything and she wanted it to go perfect. And he looked totally surprised when he did and she smiled as he approached her. "Thank you. I wanted to do something special." she explained.

She leaned her cheek into the kiss and she closed her eyes when his soft lips touched her skin. It had been so long since they had done more than hold hands. The ugly memory of that staged public shaming was still a bit too fresh for Paris' liking.

Paris wanted to squeal in delight when she saw the flowers. "Oh Chris they are beautiful," she breathed taking in the delicate scent of the flowers. This was so going in her diary.

She noticed how handsome he looked in his sweater and khakis, and Paris had worn that pink ball gown dress that she had showed Kiri a few days ago. "You look really good tonight," she told him.

She nodded. "Yes we shall." she announced with a giggle. She moved the basket around to place it in between them. She pulled out two plates and two sets of chopsticks. She had to give one of the kitchen elves two packets of droobles to get real Chinese food and chopsticks, but it was worth it. She pulled out a container of pork fried rice, an assortment of dumsums, sweet and sour chicken, chicken mu shu and lettuce wraps. She was going to have to go back and give that house elf anything else she wanted. "I hope you like Chinese food and I hope you're hungry." she told him with a smile and she was in the process of pull the lib off the rice when she heard someone squeal Chris' name.

For the love of Prada couldn't they get a moment's peace in this castle?

She tried to keep the irritation of her face but she couldn't.

Chris smiled brightly as she squeled over the flowers. "I knew you'd like them." he chuckled.

Chris then grinned showing off his white smile, at the mention of his looks. "Well thanks Paris. You look great too." he winked at her.

He watched hungrily as she empty out the picnic basket full of Chinese food. He saw all his favorites there. They had smiliar tastes in food. "Wow Paris I love all of this food!" he said smiling.

He was picking up some sweat and sour chicken when he heard his name from a girl somewhere behind him. He turned around curiously and saw Livvy. He smiled at her and looked at Paris apologetically as he started to get up. "I will be right back." he whispered.

He walked over to his friend and whispered to her, "Hey Livvy How are you? It's good to see you, but can we talk later, Im kinda in the middle of a date." he grinned, leaning his head to towards Paris. He smiled again to Livvy and said. "I will meet you at the lake tomorrow ok?" he high fived Livvy playfully and then walked back to Paris.

As Livvy walked over, she noticed something different.... hmm... what was it. It was until she noticed the basket of food the girl held that Livvy realized what was different. OH MY GAWD. Oh crap. She just walked in on a date. Livvy's eye's widened greatly as she stopped dead in her tracks.

Don't kill me, Chris. Please don't kill me.

She screwed up her face at her complete idiocy as the boy came over. There came the slap. Oh no. Oh no. Wait. What was she talking about? This was Chris, hello! He was too harmless.

"Yeahh... I'm sorry.. I just realized that. Okay. Meet you at the lake tomorrow. Good luck," Livvy whispered, chuckling lightly as she returned the high five. She walked away from the two, looked back, and waved at them as she headed off to accidentally interrupt another date. Impeccable timing Livs. Just... impeccable.

She smiled and blew him a kiss. "You are too good to me you know that." but she was happy about the flowers. She was going to take one of the flowers and press it into her diary. "Well I wanted to look good for you." she whispered softly.

She giggled. Well if he ate anything close to the amount of food her brothers ate she had calculated right in the amount of food she had brought with her. "I love it too. Chinese food is my favorite and I had to bribe a house elf with bubble gum to get it too." she winked. She didn't mind it. She would have given the wee thing socks but the elf almost banged her head on the fireplace when Paris offered.

She nodded as he dashed off to take care of the interloper to their date.

She tried to keep from going into full diva mode as Chris handled the situation. It wasn't the girl's fault she had walked in on her and Chris' third attempt at a date. Paris just wanted everything to go smoothly and right this time.

She stood up and watched at Chris walked over to speak to his friend. After all he had let her and Theo work through their little spat and she wanted to let him do the same. Plus he was going to be a lot nicer than Paris wold have been. She smiled at the girl to let her know there weren't any hard feelings.


She waved goodbye as the girl went back the way she came. Paris sighed with relief and sat back down on the blanket. She started to fix Chris' plate. Just like her mom did for her dad.

Chris laughed. "You had to bribe the house elf? Oh that's funny. I love those little guys!" he said taking a bite of the mushu pork.

After Chris had returned from talking Livvy into meeting him somewhere els tomorrow for a chat, he walked over back to Paris and his date/picnic. "Sorry about that. She's Livvy, an old friend of mine. I met her in first year. She's really cool." he said looking at Paris with a grin. "But you have me for now." he winked.

"So what's your favorite of these foods?" he asked gesturing to the feast before them.

She nodded and giggled. "Yes but it was worth it. She made a lot of food and it tastes great," she gushed as she ate a spoonful off friend rice. It was really good. That house elf outdid herself.

She finished fixing his plate while he went to talk to his friend, Paris looked up when he got back. "Oh its ok Chris your a prefect so your bound to be popular. And besides she was nice enough to let us be alone for our date so I can't hate her." She would have had a real attitude if the girl hadn't taken the clue and left.

She shook her head no. "I've got you for always," she told him as her cheeks flushed.

She pointed to the pan fried pot stickers, "Those are my favorite and the Mongolian beef too." She used her chopsticks to plunk one out of the container and into the dipping sauce. She started to nibble on the end of it. "Chris do you ever want to get married?" she asked him softly.

Chris took a bite too. "It was definately worth it!" he laughed as some of the sause of the sweat and sour chicken dripped down his chin.

He laughed. "Well thanks, I guess I am really popular." he joked. "But yeah Lissy really nice and she would understand." he nodded.

As she said she had him forever he beamed and poked her on the nose gently and said. "Yes you do!"

He watched as she pointed out her favorites some of them his too. And then she asked if he ever wanted to get married, "Um yeah, definately one day. I've always wanted to have a family in the future." he smiled

She smiled when he dribbled sauce down his chin, she picked up a napkin and dabbed at his chin. "You are worse than my little brothers," she teased. She took another bite of her pot sticker. They were her total favorite.

She giggled when he tapped her nose, but she was glad that he agreed with her. She couldn't see herself with anyone else but him. He calmed her and complimented her in every way. She leaned over and kissed him on the corner of the mouth. She wanted to kiss him on the lips but that memory flashed across her mind's eye and she changed her mind at the last minute.

She nodded as she was in the middle of chewing. "Yeah I want a big family too. And I want to get married too. You know my aunt Tomasina got married in the Palace of Versailles." She said dreamily. "And her wedding gown was just like Cinderella's dress only it was all gold and ivory and covered in crystals. The train was like 32 feet. She was so beautiful." Thats the sort of wedding Paris wanted. Every magazine and muggle television program covered Tomasina and Excelsior's wedding. To date it was the most expensive wedding thrown. And her dress cost more than Princess Di's had. Well Paris had plans to top her aunt's wedding if she ever got married.

Chris blushed a bit. He had dripped sauce down his chin, 'Ah great Chris real smooth.' he yelled at himself in his head. Paris had gotten a napkin and wiped it off, she didn't seem disgusted. That was definately good. And then she said the joke. "Oh really?" he chuckled, he knew she was joking.

He smiled as she kissed him. And then listened to her talk about her aunt's wedding and how amazing it was. "Wow that does sound like huge!" he said nodding his head in amazment. He watched and saw how happy she was talking about it.

She giggled again. "Yes really." she was just teasing him and she was glad he took it as teasing. She liked it when he blushed. He looked so cute Paris could stare at him all day long. She was glad to have Chris and lucky too.

She nodded her head, "It was huge. I wish you could have gone with me." She told him as she continued to eat. The food was really good and she doubted her and Chris would have gotten anything better if they had been on the streets of China right this second. "I want a big wedding like that. I want the whole world to see me and my finance standing up there pleading ourselves to each other. To see our love," she touched the back of Chris' hand with hers, she looked into his eyes.

"Ok good." he laughed as she laughed after teasing him. He was always a good sport when others teased him because he liked to dish it out too sometimes.

"That would have been nice to attend." He nodded taking a drink from the ones that she had. He listened to her dreamy wish of a huge wedding and smiled at her, as she touched is hand. "I'm sure you will have the best wedding ever."

It was sorta uncomfortable reading a book while propped against a statue. But whatever. School was slowly coming to and end and his head felt like it was going to explode from all the school work. Plus having evil Merpeople and Grindylows after you sucked. He wondered where that Selkie that wanted to marry Reese was. Aah, he would tease her about that later.

But enough thinking, he needed to get back to his book.

Where was Jack Fritzera? Hmmm.

Reese wandered down the corridor her arms crossed against her chest. Her eyes were scanning the area around her in search for the 6 foot tall, Gryffindor boy that had KISSED Evolette McKenna. Feet clicking against the ground, the blonde continued walking until she saw Torin....reading? Torin Kane was READING?! Oh my.

She walked over next to him and sat down. "Have you seen Jack?" She firmly asked.

"Nice to see you too, Reese." He raised his brow, but didn't look up. Why was she so eager to see Jack? "I haven't. But I'd be careful if I were you looking for him. That Selkie might come around again." He was doubtful that that would happen, but you could never be too sure. "I can help you look for him if you want?" He was just dying to ask her why she wanted to see Jack. Was she finally going to work up the nerve to ask him out?

Reese sat down next to Torin and looked at the book he was reading. "You're reading a novel," she stated as she poked the book with one of her fingers. Oh, wait. No! She was getting off subject. They were talking about Jack. "I don't need any help finding him," she explained. "I'll find him sooner or later." Maybe he was down in Hogsmeade. Hmm. She'll check there after she talks to Torin.
