"I gave..." Celandine blinked. She'd given Lyra the idea?

ZOMG WERETHEYGONNATEACHHERHOWTOWALKINHEELS?!?!!!!?!!!!

She beamed around at the older girls and at Professor Bunbury. Cela being Cela, raised her hand at Bunbury's question.

"First you have to have people to share with. That's me right?" She bounced a little in her swinging chair but managed to contain herself, "Others too? EvoletteWillowDaphneSimone?" Cela suggested in one quick breath.

Ugh....she had a feeling this was going to be a lot harder than what she had thought it would of been. It looked sooo easy in the book, but now that she was doing it....she realized that book pictures and discriptions did lie! Gasp! Her precious books....lying to her. What was the world coming to? Calming down, she thought of another happy thought. This time she thought of the time her and Jesse had met for the first time at Hogwarts in over eight years. Now that was a happy memory.

Saying the incantation, she smiled as the form started to gain a bit of form, but then it disappeared quickly. "Ugh! That was sooo close too!"she glared at the spot the thick whisp had disappeared to. Turning to Kel, she sighed. "Help me think of happy memories!"she orderd desperatly. Then the thought came to her. "Maybe we could both think of when.....you know...we became boyfriend and girlfriend."she smiled sheepishly.

It might just work.....for her at least. But what about him? He had been mostly in shock the whole time when that had happened. He might need a stronger happy thought. She sure hoped something good would come out of this.

"Thanks, Professor Bunbury," Anna said, smiling at her and nodding her head once. She made herself comfortable (or as comfortable as she could) in her pink chair, then fluffed her dress out just a little. She glanced around their little circle of Pink Ladies, then let her eyes settle again on Professor Bunbury.

"Oh, that sounds nice. Maybe we should all make sure to wear our heels as often as possible," she suggested. Even though Anna thought she might fall at one point in time, wearing heels around the castle would be fun. "We can also invite a few friends to one of our meetings. I think they'd like that. I know Evee, for one, probably would..."

"I agree, Cela. Willow, Daphne, and Simone would be fun to have around, too. I'm sure we can think of a few others, too. You know, Lyra, Vannie, and I are all graduating this school year, so if we don't invite more girls to join, the Pink Ladies will be just you and Professor Bunbury. Not that you two aren't just made of awesome, but the more the merrier, eh?"

Oh! Well that was a good idea! Kel nodded to Jenn. "I think I'll try that." he told her, then frowned slightly. That experience hadn't exactly turned happy until he realized that Jenn was actually his girlfriend...which had been a few minutes after he actually asked her to be. So...oh well. Girlfriend. Jenn. Happy memory.

Replaying those few minutes in his head - except the yelling and screaming parts - he said the incantation again. He watched, anxious, as the white smokey substance came from his wand tip. He remembered Jenn's sudden kiss, and the white smokey stuff started to form...something. Something with a long, skinny head. Kel was so surprised to see the transformation that he lost his train of thought and the smoke vanished.

Turning to Jenn, he grinned sheepishly. "Almost."

Jenn nodded, and turned away, eyeing her wand. It had been her favorite thing about being a witch, and it had never let her down. Yet here she was, hopeing that some how she would be able to get her lovely little friend. Sighing, she closed her eyes and started to concentrate.

Kissing, smiling, and everything wonderful about it, she smiled and said the spell again, opening her eyes slightly. Her eyes widdened as a form started forming though. First it was a just a head, slender and graceful looking, it's big eyes blinking as it looked around. Then a mane and torso came, ending with a wavy tail. It looked just like Chaos, only white and pure. "Oh wow."she whispered, walking slowly over to it, her mind still concentrating determindly on the happy memory. The mare pranced around, then started running around silently, it's shimmering form amazing and graceful.

She turned to Kel, the mare coming up to stand beside her, a smile on her face. "I did it!"she said, and the horse vanished in a puff of white smoke. "You just need some help."she said, and she walked up to him and kissed him again. "Maybe that might help."she shrugged, blushing.

Kel watched in amazement as a horse/mare thing erupted from Jenn's wand. He watched as it pranced around, trying to imagine the way it was feeling right now. It looked kinda smug...stuck-up and proud. But it was quite beautiful...like Jenn. It was very fitting for her.

Kel looked down at his wand, his tongue sticking out between his teeth thoughtfully. He looked up as Jenn spoke to him, and was once again...surprised by the kiss. When she stepped back, his ears were red. He replayed the moment in his head quickly, then grinned. "That...might be helpful..." he said noncholantly, turning away from Jenn. This time, as he said the spell, a whole stream of the white came from his wand. He watched as it shaped into a...stallion. Whoa.

When the horse was fully shaped and out of Kel's wand, you could see how he reflected Kel. The patronus was now prancing around the room, bringing his hooves high off the ground - trying to look pretty. He was tossing his head side to side, and making silent snorts and noises. His tail was swishing back and forth as he paraded around the room, going to wherever Kel's wand was pointing.

"Whoa." Kel breathed, and the stallion disappeared in a puff. Kel's eyes were wide with astonishment, and he was staring at the spot where the thing had been before. A stallion. That was pretty cool!

She laughed lightly at his red ears, and raised an eyebrow. "That's good."she said, giggling. It always made her laugh when Kel acted like that. It was like he couldn't believe what had happened. She watched him, her eyes widdening slightly. She hadn't expected that kiss to work that good. A wide smile though spread across her face at what was the shape of the whisp. A stallion. "It's lovely."she said, turning to look at him.

After watching it for awhile, she laughed happily and hugged Kel. "You did it! Oh we should do it again, only with both of them!"she said, already getting her wand ready.

Kel grinned at Jenn and draped his left arm over her shoulder. He's doin the move! XD "I did it." he replied, kinda surprised. He was fairly sure he wouldn't be able to do it again. He looked down at his wand skeptically, then up at Jenn.

"Eh, what da heck?" I am on a ROLL right now. I'm sorry. I'll stop. He nodded slightly, then lifted his wand. "Ready?" he asked, a smile forming on his face as he looked down at Jenn. "One, two, THREE!"

A strange tingly feeling shot through her body as he draped his arm on her shoulders. Oh wow.....this felt....good in a strange way. "Yes you did. And you know what's really amazing? Their both horses! Only mines a mare and yours is a stallion. Oh mine is sooo pretty."she said, getting a dreamy look into her eyes.

She giggled, then pulled her wand back out of her pocket. "Yup!"she said, nodding excitedly. She was waaaaaaay ready. Counting along with him, she thought about her happy memory and watched happily as her mare came shooting out of her wand, like it couldn't wait to see her again. It shook it's crimpy silver mane and looked around, waiting to see what was going to happen next.

Did she mention how pretty it was?

Keltan's eyes popped open wide when Jenn pointed out the similarities between their patronuses. "Hmm. Right." He frowned as he twitched his wand absentmindedly. That was kinda weird...a mare and a stallion. Like...the male and female horses. ...Riiiiiiiiiiiight.

Alrighty. "Expecto Patronum," he commanded again, thinking of the same memory as before. He watched as, once again, the stallion came from his wand. It pranced right past Jenn's patronus, it's tail lifted high, it's head back. "Look! It's an arabian!" Kel said loudly, grinning. How he knew what breed of horse his patronus was, he didn't know. But he knew.

She looked at Kel, her eyebrow raised. "In other words, they a girl and boy horse."she said, shaking her head. Some boys could be so clueless. "Sheesh...some boy's just don't know stuff. Jesse would of known what it was."she mumbled out, blushing at what she had just said. Oops.

Jenn nodded, her face still a flamed with color. "Good job! I think mines a mix. It looks a lot like Chaos, only white, and Chaos is a arabian, quarter horse, fox trot mix. She's really pretty."she said, hopeing he didn't hear what she had said. Her mare turned and pranced over to the other horse, it's wide eyes eyeing the other horse, it's long tail flicking back and forth. Then it turned around, prancing around.

Kel's patronus snorted silently at Jenn's words. The light of the animal-thing flickered, threatening to disappear. Jesse. Jesse? JESSE? WHO IN THE NAME OF MERLIN WAS JESSE!? Well, whoever this guy was - and yes, Kel knew Jesse was a guy, because that's why Jenn said his name - he was not on the top of Kel's people-I-wanna-be-friends-with list. He wasn't even on the bottom. Kel didn't want to know him.

"Well why don't you get Jesse to practice patronuses with you?" Kel snapped, and the Arabian-Stallion-patronus vanished. Kel let out a frustrated noise. There was going to be no way he could make the stupid thing appear again, because right now he was kinda ticked.

Breathe. In. Out. One. Two. In. Out...

Happy memory? Kel closed his eyes breifly, but not thought came to him. And Jenn was probably ticked now, too. Great. "Sorry Jenn," he mumbled in a voice barely intellegable.

Jenn knew something was up when Kel's patronus started flickering. She gulped silently, almost imagining Kel yelling in his head, and some vein pulsing angrily on the side of his head or something horrible like that. She was almost scared to even peek over.

Jenn instantly snapped back. That was the problem with her. If someone was mean to her, she was mean back...she needed to work on that. "Well maybe I will! At least I know he won't attack me with snappyness!"she snapped back at him, her Chao-patronus also vanishing in a puff. "Great!"she growled out, turning on her heel and walking over to the little sofa, and plopping down in a angry way.

He just didn't understand anything.

Sorry Jenn? Was that the best he could do? "What ever."she grumbled out, staring ditermindly at the fire. How could he think just saying sorry would cut it? Boys.....

Kel's eyes narrowed as he sat down angrily on an arm chair that was suddenly right behind him. He watched as his girlfriend walked away from him, sitting on the other side of the room and facing away. Well, fine then!

"I'm sure you'd listen if Jesse apologized." he muttered so quietly Jenn probably wouldn't be able to hear. His shook his head angrily as he turned sideways on the chair, away from Jenn. His green eyes blazed with anger and hurt - but he wasn't going to show that. He'd apologized, it was Jenn with her stupid girl brain that didn't accept it. Well, Kel wasn't going to push.

He folded his arms indignately. Sigh. He was quiet, listening for the brush of fabric on the sofa, the thud of feet on the floor - something. Because he wasn't going to look at Jenn when he wanted to yell at her to go be with this Jesse boy and not her boyfriend.

She heard him sit down....somewhere....probably behind her or across the room....fine with her. Just as long as he wasn't by her! He just didn't get anything! He was just like all the other stupid guys in the world. The only whole guy was Jesse! He understood her, he would of understood.....maybe....

She could hear him mutter somthing, but the only thing she could get out of it was, sure, and listen, and then Jesse. "You know, talking to yourself won't get you anywhere."she yeld out behind her, a smirk across her face. "People will start to think you've gone crazy."she laughed. "Of coarse that's too late."she mumbled quietly.

Jenn shifted to were her legs were spread out on the couch, and sighed loudly to indicate she was quite comfy right then.

.....but then she realized she was kinda....lonely.....she listened closely, trying to hear something....silence. Had he left? "Kel?"she asked quietly, trying to make sure he was still there.

Kel listened hard as he heard Jenn moving around on the other side of the room. He was silent as everything else in the room with quiet, and he had to keep reminding himself that he'd hear the door if Jenn left the room. So she was still there. Just being her stubborn self.

Her stubborn self that Kel couldn't help but like. Stupid girl.

When he heard her voice, low and...no, not pleading. Kel was imagining thing. "Yes?" he asked, a slightly cold note to his tone. He didn't mean to be upset...but...he liked Jenn. And if she liked Jesse...well, he wouldn't have a choice in the matter, now would he?

She had to bit her tongue to not retort something rude at him. Boy's could be so mean at times. I mean it was like they didn't care about anything but themselves at times. I mean, he just needed to get over it and move on.

But she knew that wasn't as easy as pie. And she knew he didn't care about himself....she knew he loved her, and she loved him. But she just couldn't forget about Jess that easily.

She sighed, and shifted a bit, then got up and walked over to him, standing above him. Biting her lip, she closed her eyes, then opened them, a single tear sliding down her cheek. "I'm...sorry about what I said."she said, looking down at his slunched form. He had no clue how hard that had been for her to say sorry. Yet she had done it, and she felt a bit better.

Startled, Kel looked up quickly, his eyes going straight to Jenn's. He watched that single drop of salt water slide down her cheek, and then heard what she said. She was sorry about what she said. He looked down, away from the girl. What was he suppose to say? It's okay? No, because it wasn't.

She obviously...Jesse was an issue. And Kel didn't even know him.

"Who's Jesse?" he asked, his voice a whisper. Ugh. Why couldn't he speak like a normal person? He was being...SOFT! Ugh. Suddenly, he got a mental image of his dad shaking a finger at him - Sit up and act like a man! Don't let that girl treat you like that, her tears are just for sympathy! Sit up straight, Keltan! - and he wanted to yell at him. Stupid father.

Jenn was slightly startled at the question. Why did he want to know who Jesse was? What if she told and he went to go and hex him? Now that would be bad......very bad. Poor Jesse....and poor Kel. What was she suppose to tell him anyway? That he was her best friend since they were little? That Jesse had been there for everything. That he had moved away a long time ago, and Jenn had cried for weeks?

Maybe the first part.....but defiently not the last.

"Um....well.....Jesse is my best friend. I knew him when I was about three. He moved away though when I was about eight. I hadn't heard from him in ages, but then they moved back and he came to school here. It was...kinda a shocker to see him to be honest."she said, smiling sheepishly. "He's fourteen, and has brown eyes and brown hair, and he's in Gryffindor." Well that didn't sound too bad. "He's really a good person. Don't judge him already please. I'm sure if you meet him you'll become good friends."she added, placing a hand on his shoulder.

Varius didn't believe Lyra when she said there was some secret room that became anything you wanted it to be. Why was this kept secret from him!? He was very excited and this would be the perfect place for their Huffie-WON-Party, since they were having to share a Common Room with the Ravies. "So where is this room?"

Lyra made her way to the seventh floor, not so much out of breath this time. "See the tapestry," she said pointing towards the wall covered by a giant piece of carpet. "You walk in front of it three times, but think of the type of room you want and in this case, a party room full of nothing but Huffie colours." She hoped she was right in that being what he wanted. "Oh make sure that NO nasty green water can get in either." She wanted him to think of the type of room that he wanted, otherwise, hers would be a giant PINK room with giant PINK chairs...like the last time.

"Okay," Varius said thinking that this process was rather strange and Lyra must've been pulling his leg. So, he paced the wall three times as instructed and imagined the perfect Huffie room with no mucky green water!!! Oh! And there! It was a door that wasn't there before!

"Omgawsh, that is so cool!" He said rushing to open it and entering a room filled with bright yellow and a darker black. Cushions and chairs surrounded the perimeters, with space for a table with a ton of snacks and drinks that he requested to come up from the kitchens. Banners decorated the wall with Huffie pride and music was playing for those to dance in the dance floor situated in the middle of the room. A small platform was down at the end of the room where people could grab the mic and do a bit of karaoke if they so desired.

"This is FREAKIN' awesome! All we gotta do now is put up the notice," he said to Lyra, but continued gazing around the room in awe. THIS WAS SOOO COOOOOL.

"Yay! No ickle green water," she cheered as she walked through the door and looked around. "Nice! Very nice! I'm in complete awe and I am ready to party!" She wiggled her hips with a giggle as she looked around. So much yellow that it would be awesome if it was....PINK! But nope! It was for Huffies!

Kel was quite for a long moment after Jenn stopped speaking. His brain hardly registered that her hand was on his shoulder - he was too absorbed in his own, jumbled thoughts to think about much else at the moment. He looked down at his hands, which he just realized were clasped together - probably in the effort to not make them fists.

He's really a good person. Don't judge him already, please. Kel closed his eyes. Of course Jesse's a good person. Why would he be Jenn's friend, if he wasn't. Jenn had a natural talent to become friends with any good person that she felt like. Kel frowned as he wondered if he was a good person.

Right now, he didn't really feel like one.

He patted the hand she had on his shoulder gently, still trying to get his brain to form words. "He sounds ... like ... a ... great guy." his voice cracked embarassingly at 'great', and he kept his head tilted downward.

Emalyn entered the Room of Requirement, looking around almost suspiciously. Okay, so none of the team was there yet...big deal? She closed the door behind her, wondering if maybe she had read the announcement wrong about the forfeit/victory Quidditch party. She sat down on a chair against the wall of the room, glancing at the door off and on. Hmm, well this was odd. She had only come here once, in her first year, and it seemed she was acting the same now. Shy and wanting to be invisible. Though she knew that if at least one of her team mates walked in she'd be her hyper self again...maybe.

She sighed and hoisted her school bag off of her shoulder and took out a piece of parchment and a quill. Liam found parchment and quills very peculiar, but she told him it was just a phase she was going through, something she liked to do. Of course he fell for it, because he had no other choice, but still Ema wished for once she had normal paper and a muggle pen, just to at least show him that she wasn't any different. She started the letter, writing slowly. It was his birthday in a week, but that didn't mean she couldn't write to him now. She looked up, trying to think of what to say, when her bottle of ink decided to tip over her knee. The ink spread quickly across the floor, looking almost like a black gooey liquid.

Ugh. Why does something always have to go wrong? She quickly set the parchment aside, and looking down saw ink dripping down her leg. Apparently it hadn't just hit the floor. She got her wand out, thinking quickly. First she tries to write to a muggle, the next she's casting spells at spilled ink...quite the opposites.

"Scourgify!" Ema said, pointing her wand at the spreading ink. Most of it disappeared, but apparently either it wasn't the right spell, or the way she did it just wasn't strong enough. She stuffed her wand back in her pocket and took a few tissues from her bag, wiping up the remaining ink. It seemed she still wouldn't be able to do without some muggle-nessish. She peered down at the ink still dripping down her leg and wiped that up too with the remaining tissues she had in her hand. It seemed the ink had stained her leg, a perfect black line all the way to her ankle.

"Why did I put on a skirt?" Ema voiced out loud, to no one in particular. She had chose the skirt because, after all, she was going to a party. Why not wear a skirt? It was warm inside the castle, and it was a nice change from her now frozen robes. But why did she do it, really? Now she had ink down her bare leg.

An idea struck her and she dug into her bag, retrieving her Hufflepuff leg warmers she had made herself that fall. Ta-dah! She slipped out of her clogs and pulled the leg warmers up her leg, covering the ink. She did the same to the other leg, just so they would match, and slipped back into her clogs again. Well, she looked rather stupid now, but at least she was warm and showing some Huffie pride....

...right?
