As this was Miles' last year, he thought of nothing better to do than walk around the castle. Yey! Though, the last few days had been pretty boring, attending lessons and doing homework. Blegh. He would prefer it if the strolled upon a party or a rave ... or the flood to go away! His poor Slytherin common room had been wrecked and he had lost a lot of clothing from it. Miles stuffed his hands in his pckets and hunched over a teeny bit. He would SO be a little teary when it came to the last day at the Slythie table. He needed to visit the Huffies and Gryffie's, as he knew like NO ONE in Ravenclaw anyway.

As things were looking low for this poor little seventh year's last few weeks of school, he spotted someone. "OMG HAI!" Miles grinned like a chesire cat and broke into a run. When he reached Reese he picked her up in a hug so her feet wouldn't touch the ground - he was much taller than her. Bwaha. "It's been like .. decades! Where has you been?"

Reese still had a lot of stuff to get done. She needed to reply to Lima's letter and...and...she still had homework to get done! This year was just getting too stressful for her. But, this was her time to get out of the common room and relax. She'll probably only be out for an hour or so, then it would be back to the dorm with her.

Hearing someone's voice, Reese stopped walking. She knew that voice! She turned around and saw Miles running towards her. "Oh my. Miles!" She said with a smile on her face. She wrapped her arms around his neck when he picked her up in a hug, not even minding that her feet weren't even touching the ground. She sort of finally got over the fact that all her guy friends were taller than her. She was 5'7 and proud of it...sort of.

"Ohmygosh. I know. It's just been too long," she told him. "Oh, I've just been up in the dorm stuffing my brain full of knowledge for my OWLs. What about you? Where have you been? Have you been studying for your NE..." She stopped talking when the thought hit her that Miles was graduating this year. No. Miles couldn't leave her! And, Vannie and Anna were graduating, too! She frowned slightly before she finished her sentence, "NEWTs. Have you been studying for you NEWTs?"

Miles laughed at the first thing that came out of Reese's mouth, and was quite glad it wasn't a scream, fangirly or scared she was in the air. Screamy girls = EEK. "Oh my Miles? I hope that doesn't catch on." He laughed, setting the blonde back on the ground again and brushed her shoulders. "Oh yeah! You has OWLs this year, are you having fun with them?" Miles smirked. He remembered his time with them. If you didn't do well in your OWLs, you wouldn't really do well in your NEWTs, maybe not even DO your NEWTs! So, Miles had been locked up in his dorm for hours on end trying to understand potions, and not doing very well. He would also forget things like a .. tele .. vishon, or whatever it was called, in Muggle Studies, and the occasional magical animal in Care of Magical Creatures.

But amazingly, he passed them. With good grades too.

"I has. Like a good Slythie." Miles grinned, putting his hands on his hips in a superhero kind of way. "They are exactly what they say on the tin. Nastily exhausting." He sighed. WHYYY did they have to be so difficult? Miles put his arms down and cocked his head to the side a little. "You alright? Somethin' troubling you?" He had noticed she had cut herself off, maybe her mind was dridting a little.

Thomas walked through the corridor in circles. He was kind of bored even though there so many things to do maybe he should just go to the library to read something interesting.

While he was walking, Thomas began feeling hungry so he took out a pepper imp and ate it. At the end he decided that he would go to the library of the common room.

Reese smiled. "I personally like 'Oh my. Miles' better than actually screaming your name. Screaming your name brings too much attention," she stated. "Plus, I was happy to see you! You better be glad I didn't scream your name." When he sat her back down on the ground, she brushed some hair out of her face while he brushed her shoulders. She rolled her eyes at Miles' sarcasm. "They are so much fun," she answered. Truthfully, she was glad they only had to do their OWLs one time during her 7 years at Hogwarts. But, she DID have NEWTs coming up in 2 terms.

"Oh, goodie!" Reese said with a grin. "I'm glad your studying, because you need to get good grades on them." She nodded as she spoke to Miles. Then, he said that they really were Nastily Exhausting. "I sort of figured when they mean Nastily Exhausting, they mean Nastily Exhausting," she told him. "I wouldn't think they would lie to us." She looked at a nearby window when Miles asked if something was wrong. "Yeah," she answered. "You are graduating. And, so is Vannie and Anna. I just feel like everyone I grew up with at Hogwarts is leaving me now." She deeply sighed and looked back towards Miles.

Willow THOUGHT she understood what Clifford meant. "You mean like ... taking a break? From everything and everyone?" Mused Willow thoughtfully, chewing on her bottom lip, "I have felt that way before, but it usually was because ... I guess things weren't working out as I would have hope they would?" Yes, that was it.

Whatever it was that was bothering Clifford and that everyone KNEW about was probably a bad thing, and what ... was he talking about now? NAKED? Cleaning NAKED?

"I don't like cleaning," Blurted out Willow, blinking her forest green orbs at the older boy. Honestly, it had been the first thing that had popped into her mind! It was Clifford's fault for having said that!

Cleaning naked.

SERIOUSLY.

She had house elves, she did not need or want to clean. ESPECIALLY if the cleaning involved having to take her clothes off.

Creepy.

"Haha. I like yelling people's names when I see them. Sometimes it even makes them jump. It's great." Miles smiled, that had only happened once or twice, with Sylvia. And it only happened because she was ever so quiet, and Miles would break the silence with 'SYLVIE!' or something of the sort. She hated it, but he loved it. "It's alright. Other people would scream my name." He folded his arms and stuck his tounge out at her for a second or two. "Though I AM glad you're happy to see me." He smiled again, unfolding his arms and putting his hands back in his pockets.

"I do. And I will!" Miles said postively. He needed to keep otimistic throughout the whole term, otherwise the saying goodbye part will be a lot worse than he was expecting. "Well, it may be worse than Nastily exhausting, depending on how you can cope with the pressure of exams." Miles shuddered, he hated the word exams. Miles frowned and pulled Reese into a big hug. "N'aaaaw Reese. Don't worry, I'll still see you. We could both visit Lima and we may see each other around. It's not like me and Vannie are gone forever." He wasn't sure about Anna, but he definitely knew he would be seeing loads of Vannie once they had left school.

Reese slightly shook her head. She could just picture Miles coming up behind someone, yelling their name, and making them jump. "Who all have you actually done that to?" She asked him. She doesn't recall him every making her jump by yelling her name, so she was out of the question. But, who would Miles go and scare? Hmm. "Of course I'm happy to see you," she told him. "You are one of my closets friends, why wouldn't I be happy to see you?" She gave him a little poke in the stomach before he went back to the subject on the NEWTs.

"You will? I'm glad to hear that," Reese told him. Okay. This deserved a pat on the head, no matter if Miles was taller than her or not. She took on step in front of her and stood on her tiptoes and gave Miles a little pat on the head. "Good boy. You go show them that Miles Parker can pass those NEWTs with flying colors," she said. Pressure of exams? Eh, the stress she was getting from the OWLs was giving her a headache. And to think, the NEWTs are going to be worst. She wasn't looking forward to her 7th year now.

Yay! Another hug. Reese wrapped her arms around Miles when he pulled her into another Miles Parker hug. "I know I'll still see you all around. But, what about when school starts back? Who am I going to talk to in the common rooms or...or at the Slytherin Table during food time?" True. She still had all her other friends and her brother, but it wasn't going to be the same. She was still getting use to not see Lima around. It was going to be so different not seeing Vannie, Miles, and Anna around.

Miles grinned at her question. "Vannie, frequentely, Hugo, Terry, Evolette, Lima. And Sylvia, she's my favourite to do it too." He grinned evily. But only because she hated it, if she found it fun, Miles would get bored and try and do it to somebody else. Maybe his cousin? He got bored SO easily. "N'awww." Miles thought it was the right time to pick Reese up again and give her a hug. "I just haven't seen you in a while, I thought ... maybe you had forgotted me." Miles looked at the ground and frowned a little, though smiling on the inside. He giggle a bit as she poked him, and he quickly poked him back, then stepped back just in case she did it again. Mwaha.

Miles raised his eyebrow at the little Slytherin as she attempted to patronize him and his height. How was that possible? Well, he was tall, so he thought she would say something like 'How's the weather up there?' It was his job to pat little people's heads! "Excuse me? I'm older than you." He certainly didn't act like it. "What's with all the good boy? Or do you want me to call you a good girl?" Miles said 'good girl' as if he was talking to a child. He could be patronizing to. He smirked. "Thankyou for the praise anyway. I'll take it however it's said." Praise was fun! "And I WILL show them!" Back to his superhero stance.

He sighed. "I guess that part's different. But .. Sylvia's coming up soon. Lezz hope she makes it in Slytherin." Miles thought about if for a moment. "She's eviler than me, so I can't see why she wouldn't be." Reese was excellent at making new friends, he couldn't see her ebing lonely next year. "All the firsties you could make friends with!" Miles laughed. First years were so cute.

Reese shook her head and smiled as Miles answered her question. "And Sylvia? Oh, big brothers should try and scare their sisters," she told him. "But, talking about Sylvia, how's she? I haven't seen her in, uh, I don't know. Since you and Vannie's of-age party. I think that's the last time I saw her." Her jaw dropped when Miles said he thought she had forgotten him. How dare he think that! "Do you really think I would forget you, Miles?" She asked him. She giggled when he poked her in the stomach, but he stepped back to quickly for her to poke him back. Boo.

"I don't know. I just like calling you a good boy," she told him. "And, you can call me a good girl if you want to." She WAS a good girl! She had been studying for her OWLs, hadn't she? She was a good girl for studying. Mmhm. "No problem," she added with a grin.

"Sylvia's coming?" Reese questioned. Oh, she hoped that her and Sylvia could be friends. Glancing at a nearby window, she started to think it was time to be heading to the grounds to eat. "Miles, I'm going to get going now. I'm getting really hungry," she told him. "It was nice talking to you and I'll see you around." She gave him a little wave and a smile before she turned on her around and headed down the corridor.

Miles nodded. "She's awright. I don't think she's bothered about coming here, not as much as I was." He laughed a little, he was over excited when he found out his dad wanted him to go to Hogwarts, maybe it's old news to Sylvia, and she knew she was going ages a go. She's such a party pooper. "Let's hope she'll remember you." Of course she was, her memory wasn't bad was it? "But, I'll tell ya somethin' .." -Que cheesy moment- "... I won't forget you." Miles batted his eyelashes like a lady and ruffled the little Slytherin's hair, probably for the last time. Sniffle.

"Haha. You're not the only one." He laughed when Reese said she was hungry. Though, to be honest, Miles was always hungry. "Well, maybe I'll catch you there later." He stuffed his hands in his pockets. "See you around." Miles smiled before turning the other way and down the corridor.

Robert walked out of the Ravenclaw common room with half of his large stack of books that he had retrieved from the library the other day and set off on his way to return them. It was no use. The books did nothing but confuse him more he'd just have to get Liz to help him later when she got back. Sticking the books securely under his arm he headed for the stairwell.

Mari was glad that she finally found Robert, which would have been amusing to her if she hadn't been trying to find him because she had to tell him his girlfriend and her best friend was in the hospital ward. Really, how hard was it to locate a six foot seven inch tall guy? Apparently nigh on impossible for Mari to do in her slightly worried state.


She nearly ran into him, wincing a bit as she almost collided with his midsection. She looked up at him and she looked away for a moment. " You need to come with me, Elizabeth is in the hospital wing. I thought you should know." She said quickly, unsure how hew as going to respond to that.

Robert walked along the corridor not noticing where he was going when Mari all of a sudden nearly collided with him almost causing his books to fall. "In a hurry?" he asked cheekily before hearing her words. "Hos...what do you mean she's in the hospital wing?!" His long legs caught up with her fast as he followed her. "How exactly did she get there? I thought she was just going to get some pain pills or something...so what the bloody hell did she end up doing?"

Aaron walked around the corridor with Fallon trying to find the right hallway until they finally came across the right one. "Um... I'm pretty sure it's this one." He started to walk down the hall. "Ok. We gotta think to ourselves 'I need a place to calm down.'" he started going up and down the corridor thinking that to himself. I need a place to calm down. I need a place to calm down....

Fallon nodded her head, still completely taken over by fear. She started to mimic what Aaron was doing. I need a place to calm down. I need a place to calm down. I need a place to calm down. I need a place to calm down. She looked up to see a door in the wall that wasn't there before. This must be it. She thought to herself.

He looked up to where Fallon was looking and saw the door there, too. He looked over to Fallon and gave her a look that said, Sweet! He then walked up to the door and opened it. Wicked!

Fallon followed Aaron to the door. What she saw inside was amazing! She walked into the Room Of Requirement.

"I like everyone," Plymouth shrugged and started walking again. "But, what's not to like? They're funny. Full of ALL sorts of knowledge that no one else knows. Mum says it's not the number of teeth in their mouths, but the number of stories they have to tell. Or something like that."

Once they reached the seventh floor corridor, Plymouth set Daphne down lightly, careful that her feet were both on the floor. He kept his hand at her back. "Well... almost done, I guess."

Her feet once on the ground it only took Miss Hopton a few seconds to regain her balance. "That much is true. You do like everyone," agreed the blond and left it at that. Daphne hadn't met any Hobos. She wasn't allowed to; however, Plymouth's Mum seemed nice enough. Daphne was willing to give her the benefit of the doubt.

"Oh? Oh, yes," stammered Daphne, slightly blushing. She had forgotten entirely they were on a date. Wooops!

"Secret though - I like some people more than others. hehe." Plymouth shrugged and pocketed his hands. Hmm. He rocked back on his heels then forward, then back. "Well... I had fun?"

"Isn't that everyone's secret though?" she whispered playfully, borrowing one of Plymouth's traits for the moment and winking at him. Teehee. That had been fun! "You sound slightly disappointed though," quipped the blond, tilting her head. "You're not sure you had fun?"

It really sounded like he was wearing an invisible question mark over his head with his last sentence.

Hmmm. Plymouth continued his little rocking back and forth session. "Hmm. Well. See... I had fun. I always have fun with you. You always keep me on my toes as I try to avoid stepping on your ill-placed eggs. But, I'm not so sure I rocked YOUR fun-o-meter hand off the charts."

Sad!shrug.

Ill-placed eggs? Raising a brow, Daphne smirked at Plymouth Morgan in amusement. She had ill-placed eggs? That sounded so funny coming from him. It was definitely more of a Kettleburn phrase than anything. At least, Hopton was willing to blame Copernicus.

She didn't know him well enough to be one hundred percent sure. "It had its up and downs," admitted Daphne in her usual brutally honest way. "It could have been better but, considering things, it was fun. Yes. Minus the slide."

"Could have been better how? Tell me? SO that... next time I ask you out and you don't say yes-yes - I'll know better." Plymouth's eyes were WIDE and ready for some Daphne Hopton knowledge. "Slides are out. Next time. Promise. Cross my heart. What else?"
