Ugh! Why was it he had to make her feel even worse? It was like it was his goal or something.

....If so, then he was succeeding....very well. It was like his points were a hundred and her's zero. She felt horrible, and sick. Why in merlin's lost pinky toe did she have to say that infront of Kel? Why did she even have to bring up Jesse?

She had no clue...that was for sure.


"Kel? You know I love you more than Jess.....right?"she asked, kneeling down in front of him so her brown eyes could look into his green eyes. "Your my boyfriend...and nothing's going to change that. I promise." The only problem was....that if Jesse kept it up....then that would be really difficult to keep. Shaking that thought out of her head, she thought determindly, NO, I can keep this promise.....right? Ugh what was with the right?

....."I love you Kel."

So Cy Andrus had been knocked out cold mere hours earlier, but he was great now. Besides the fact that he was still coughing up water every now and then…

But other than that (and the bruise on his forehead), he was awesome. Finding the Room of Requirement, Cy pushed open the door and bounded inside. Although he looked like he’d been hit by a tornado, he still had that same unending energy.

Varius and Lyra were here; so was Emalyn. The first year walked over to them all and pounded his chest once with his right first. “WE AH’ GOIN’ TO THA SHIP!” He exclaimed, rather proud that they were in the finals.

“Hey you have in buttabeer mate?” Cy asked, looking around the room. He hadn’t had any in AGES.

Kel's heart seemed to skip a beat when Jenn said those simple three words. He could hardly register the rest of her speech, because...well, those three words meant a lot, and Kel wasn't sure if he...entirely...believed them. I mean, sure, Jenn must like him a lot...but...love.

Erg.

"Jenn," he said quietly, sitting the right way in the chair so that there was room for Jenn to sit - it's a big chair. He looked down at his hands, suddenly very interested with them. He didn't know what to say. The girl was obviously looking for him to repeat those three words. But...well, yeah, he liked her a lot. A lot a lot, but love was such a big thing.

"I love you too, Jenn." *faintsdies*

Jenn walked over and sat by him, her eyes full of confusion, and sum-what full of hurt. What if he didn't love her? What would she do? Well...she wouldn't stop loving him....that was for sure. It would just hurt a bit....well, a lot.

She stared at her shoes for a long time. Suddenly they seemed quite shiny and fun to look at. She turned her head slightly when he said Jenn. It was almost like she was pulled to him when he said that, and she scooted over, to be closer.

And then he said the magic words. I love you too. "You do?"she asked, her voice sounding almost like dolphins speaking. She coughed, and turned away from him, her cheeks full of color.

"YES WE ARE!!" she raised her hands in the air (ay-ayer). It was true, she hadn't really thought about it. They were going to the ships. There was no consolation game.

Emalyn shrugged at Cy. "If there's butterbeer I didn't know about it." she looked around wide eyed. Buttah beer-uh? If there was some, she'd be the first to get her hands on it.

Actually, no. Judging by the look on the first-years face, and his behavior, she would definitely not be the first to get her hands on it.

"How you feeling, by the way?" she asked, ripping her mind from the butterbeer. Really, the kid shouldn't be this energized. "Did you take something, possibly?" Yes, that had to be it.

Peter entered the Room of Requirement, which lifted his spirits immediately. In fact, he laughed aloud. Everyone was so excited and happy and loud. He turned to Tammy. "Want a Butterbeer?" he asked before looking up and around at the room, which was covered with decorations of the house. He was so proud of his team, and couldn't wait to see them in the championships.

As Tammy followed Peter in slowly she gave a smile to the other who were in there but didnt plan on leaving Peters side for a while. And if Eva turned up, she was out of there. Simple as. She looked around the room and her weak smile turned into a fully fledged grin. Ohmeegoshhh. It looked abbo-solutely aweeshome. The hufflepuff colous made her chuckle softly, she hadnt seen them in so long on walls. Man, she missed her common room UBER bad.

She gave Peters question a moment of though and gave him a smile and shook her head. "Maybe later." She looked at him and tried to forget the earlier conversation. "You get one. And mister Botwin. I know im fantastical. I dont need you to tell me. But it does make me feel better that you think that, so im not a self absorbed numpt." She laughed softly.

Peter nodded as Tammy turned down a butterbeer, though he could nothing of the sort. He was just about to grab one when he heard Tammy start to add something, and leaned in to hear it. He chuckled. "A self-absorbed numpt? You?" he laughed even louder. "Oh yes, you're very self-absorbed. It's almost sickening," he said with thick sarcasm. It was strange to hear what Tammy's image of herself was or wasn't...because she had it all wrong. He smiled at her and nudged her. "I'll be right back, my darling egotistical friend," he said with a wink.

Tammy chuckled lightly as he told her she was a self absorbed numpt. (but it was sarcastic) =] Maybe she was, but he was a friend, so he wasnt going ot tell her that. Or was he trying to tell her she was by not saying it and making her think about it. Oh man, she was a self absorbed numpt. A BIG self absorbed numpt. Headcacheee. She clutched a hand to her hand but pulleed it back down as Peter turned round.

Aha, darling egotistical friend. What the heckerdoodahhs. Was she mean to know what that was? She didnt.

"I was blonde once you see. That meks no sense to meee." She whined to him as he continued to get a butterberr for himself.

Peter laughed and held a finger up to tell her to wait a minute while he grabbed a butterbeer before responding. He grabbed two, unsure of how many would be left by the time Tammy would decide she wanted one. When he returned, he handed her the other butterbeer, opening his own and taking a swig of it. "Just so you have one in case they run out later," he indicated to her and the drink. "And egotistical means self-absorbed, which clearly you are not since you are unaware of all the terms," he chuckled. "In fact, that probably makes me more of a...what was it...a self-absorbed numpt?...than you are," he said, still laughing and taking another drink of his butterbeer.

Tammy gave him a funny look as he gave her a butterbeer. "I didn-" She cut off and smiled at him. Ever so thoughtful Peter. "Thanks." She said as she held it by her side looking at him as he spoke explaining the term of what she hadnt understood. "Ooooooooh." She cooed. Fully NOT understanding but she wasnt going to pry on it.

"Peters a self absorbed numpt." She claimed to everyone in the room with a big grin. She turned back to him and giggled. "Youre not really , I promiiiiisseeeee." She smiled at him and once more began to admire the walls in the purty colours of her FAVOURITIST house.

Peter's eyes widened as Tammy proclaimed his self-absorption and poked her playfully in the ribs. "Oh ha ha," he said glaring at her jokingly, but couldn't help breaking the glare with a smile and chuckle. He, too began to look around the room then at the amazing decorations. He was always taken aback by the things the Room of Requirement was capable of. Whatever you needed, it provided...minus food, of course. But the rooms were always above and beyond the desire, thinking to provide things he, himself wouldn't have thought of...but certainly appreciated.

He smiled at the crowded room, taking another drink of his butterbeer, which was already beginning to run low. Low... he thought and froze. Lo... She should have been there with them. He tried shaking it off...the feeling of sadness that his best friend wasn't there to enjoy it, too. But he knew only one thing would solve it. He turned to Tammy, apologetically. "I have to go find Lo. It doesn't feel right, not having her here. I won't be long...but do you mind?" he asked, feeling guilty about leaving Tammy here, but knew she was surrounded by friendly people whereas Lo could be all alone for all he knew.

Tammy grimaced as he poked her but chuckled lightly. The decorations were ahmazing. But if it was left up to her it would be pink and have a supply of clothes and shoes. and makeup of course.

lo? for a minute tammy had forgotten who he was on about but instantly renembered when he said he had to go find her. Okay, so Tammy was going to be left alone... She didnt want to be left alone but he had to find Lo. "Youre coming back yeah?" She had to ask, or she was going back to the common room.

"Of course I'm coming back!" he replied, smiling apologetically at her. He grabbed both her hands in his own and kissed the top of one of them. "Thanks! This means a lot to me," he said finally, smiling at her still. He knew Tammy didn't want him to leave her there, but it wouldn't take long for him and Lo to make up...or were they even fighting? And pretty soon he would be back with her, joined by Lo, and the three of them could all enjoy each other's company. "Don't go chugging that butterbeer while I'm gone!" he said finally with a grin before ruffling her hair and making his way out of the room.

Tammy giggled girlishly as he took her hands and smiled. "I knew it would." She said as she looked at the floor as silence surrounded them. She knew he was coming back, so she wasnt going to be left alone, with scary people that she didnt know. Once mroe she gave him a soft smile and nodded as he went to go.

"I wont." She giggled again, for some stuhrange reason she was doing that alooort recently. She opened her mouth widely in shock as he ruffled her hair and qucikly ran hr fingers trhough it sotrting the mess out! She was going to get him back.

Cy grinned at Emalyn and nodded appreciatively. “They were scared mate, I’ll stick by that. The ‘Claws betta be too.” Of course with Cy on the pitch, ANYONE should be scared. Duh.

So she didn’t know of any butterbeer either. The first year frowned slightly and crossed his arms. “No such thing as a party without buttabeer.” End then, out of no where, a few cases of butterbeer popped out of nowhere.

Well, this WAS the room of requirement.

“WOAH! Did you see thah?” His brown eyes were the size of tennis balls. Maybe he was seeing things, he DID have a large blow to the head earlier. And then gigantic bruise on his forehead proved it. He ran over and grabbed one, instantly popping it open and guzzling down some of the fluid. “Ace!”

How was he feeling, now? Well, he was still slightly dizzy but he was starting to feel better. “I feel great, mate! It’s gonna take a lil’ more than a knock out blow to the head to take ‘The Cyrus’ down.” The Aussie nodded fervently at this proposition.

Peter re-entered the Room of Requirement, Lo in tow, and searched the room for Tammy. He grabbed two more butterbeers and handed one to Lo, still clutching onto her hand. He led the way, scanning over the crowd hor any sign of Tammy.

"Do you see her anywhere?" he asked Lo loudly so that she could hear him. It was quite the party, but difficult to find anyone in such a crowd. He kept a tight grip on Lo's hand so as not to lose her as he weaved them through the students. He couldn't help smiling, everyone seemed so happy.

Emalyn agreed. "Everyone should fear us badgers. Oh yeah, they'll be scared. 'Specially if you use that paint again." Ema winked. That paint was pretty scary.

"OHH!!" she exclaimed, taking a bottle of butterbeer immediately as soon as they appeared. Yay!

Hmm. Right. He had seemed really out of it, and it had been a bad incident. Not your normal walk-into-the-door-thinking-you've-un-latched-it-already incident. He had taken ice. to. the. head. And she had thought he had almost drowned. And he says it would take a little more than that to take him down? Pfft.

Ema nodded just as fervently as him, convincing him that she agreed once more. It had been more than just a whop. It had been a WHO-OOP-BAM.

"D'you know if any of the rest of the team is coming?"

Lo's eyes widened with shock as she entered the crowded party, her jaw dropping in awe at the amazing decorations and all of the cheerful people. It was just what she needed, now the only thing to complete this party was-...but Peter read her mind as he handed her a butterbeer. Perfect!

She, too, scanned the crowd, looking for Tammy. She was having as much luck as Peter, though. "No, I don't see her anywhere," she called back to him. She hoped Tammy hadn't left to go look for them or anything. She clung tighter to Peter's hand as he tightened his own grip on her. There were Hufflepuffs all over the place, but Ravenclaws scattered around too, making her feel more comfortable about being at the Hufflepuff party.

Tammy was getting UBER lonely now. She didnt know what to dow ith herself or whether she just do a bunk. It crossed her mind to just leave and go sit by the lake once more or study in the common room. But they could find her there. After all she just wanted to be alone. She had been alone for about 10-20 minutes. It seemed an age, and she was tempted to go but thats when she saw them enter and jumped a bit higher, blocked by people and waved alittle bit. Hopefully they could see her.

"Peter! Peter over here!" she exclaimed as she spotted Tammy jumping up and down to Lo's left. She tugged on Peter's hand, dragging him in Tammy's direction. "Tammy! Hi! Wow it's crazy in here!" she called to her, giving her a warm hug in greeting. "I was afraid we'd never spot you in this beautiful mess," she laughed, gesturing to the mass of people before taking a swig of butterbeer.

She turned back to Tammy. "By the way, I'm sorry for the awkward little scene I made back at the lake. I'm not usually...ever really...like that. At least I don't like to be. Still friends?" she asked, smiling apologetically and offering her hand to shake.

Tammy chuckled as she hugged Lo in return she nodded at her comment though and smield. "I know, itsb getting quite crowded isnt it?" She laughed lightly and looked down at the butterbeer in her hand and offered it to one of the pair. "Im not going to drink it." She insisterd but listened to Lo once more and gave her a smile.

"Its okay. It happens. I nearly had a freakout too, but I didnt wanna leave Peter alone." She chuckled and nodded. "Of course." She shook her friends hand and giggled.

Peter turned his head to see where Lo was pointing, following her lead to meet up with Tammy. "Seriously, though. It's getting packed! This party is brilliant!" he added, finishing off his second butterbeer and feeling rather giddy now. He turned to Tammy. "Oh no no no, you at least have to toast with us," he said pushing the bottle back into Tammy's hand.

He laughed as the girls shook. "Good, because Lo's been thinking up nicknames for you the whole way back here. The poor thing would have been petrified if you denied her friendship," he chuckled, wrapping his arm around Lo and squeezing her.

Lo laughed and nodded in agreement. "I did! From here on, you shall be my Tammybell! Like Tinkerbell from that one story about Peter Pan! Get it? You're like Pete's little fairy. You watch out for him, especially when I can't," she said proud of her new nickname. She looked up at Peter and rested her head on his shoulder as he squeezed her into him. She looked back at Tammy. "Shall we toast?" she proposed and broke free from Peter putting her glass in the air. "To us! And Hufflepuff!" she said, smiling.

OOC. SS isnt letting me multi quote :@
"I know." She agreed but sigehd as teh bottle was pushed back into her hands. "But I do-"

She cut off. Nickname? It wasnt anything like midget was it? She didnt like those. That was mean. Was it going to be nice? Gahhhhh. Panic attack or what.

Tammy breath a sigh of relief. "Tammybell." She repeated in a whisper and smiled at her friends. She actually liked that. "Ive seen that film, with my sist-"Another cut off. She wasnt enjoying being so close to bringing Cerrah and her mum up so stopped and smiled again. "Wow. I ge wings." She laughed and raised her own glass in the air. "To us and hufflepuff." She joined in and giggled offering the glass round again. She really wasnt thirsty.
