Jane wondered why she stopped looking and moving. Why ...am I stopping?She turned around to see that blob in front of her.OH MY!!Why did a strawberry stop me?She was obviously dreaming about strawberry land, while looking for Christian's father, cause she thought if she was looking for something strange she's never seen before, she'd make the people that she'd seen before into something familiar..like strawberries...or something. Then, his face would pop up amidst the strawberries and she could jump at him.

"Eeeeeeee...let me gooo!!Let me goo!!I'm looking for a strange face, strawberry!"she said to 'strawberry' Christian. She had dropped her rabbit while trying to struggle free from 'strawberry' Christian.

Christian looked at her and shook her awake. "Jane It's me Christian you were sleepwalking love you walked right by me."

"Mmerrghhyummberry, Yahhuemsm?"Jane squinted because the lights were so bright. That strawberry blob, she could see was indeed Christian. She looked left and right for her rabbit as she felt that it was gone from her hand. What's this place...Where's my bed...Why is Christian in the Girls' Dorm!Eeeeeeeeee!! She looked at him but not really focusing.

Christian knew how to wake her up he did a little magic and in his hand appeared her favorite red velvet double icing cupcake. He waved it under her nose. "You can't have it till you talk to me."

"DETENTION!!"Jane suddenly exclaimed. She had been dreaming and was still dangling between sleeping and waking. She thought about Christian, who was gonna get into trouble if he didn't get out of the Girls Dorm right away.Of course, that's her half way dreaming.

She rolled to the right and curled up into a ball. But she smelt something so delicious, she smiled and thought she must be dreaming. Then, the breakfast scene at the Great Hall appeared in her thoughts. It really was Red Velvet cupcake. She compared the smell of both( I think it's possible if you're dreaming)Her hands were looking for the rabbit, when she caught a lock of Christian's hair. She opened her eyes.

"You're here,"she said, still not aware of her surroundings.

Christian calmly disentangled her hand from his hair. "Janey wake up and talk to me or no cupcake." He said calmly waving it again under her nose as he grabbed the rabbit and put it in her searching hand.

Jane found the rabbit!!(Yeah ,right!)She snuggled against the rabbit and hugged it under her searching arm. She could just doze back to sleep now that she's found her rabbit. That thought and dream about Christian's father, following him, hunting him down to ask him what his problem was, was somewhere lost inside her head. She didn't want to go look for him anymore. She'd totally forgotten why she was walking to find Rommulus in the first place.

She could only smell Brut and cupcake. The first, would send her to dreamland in just a few minutes, the second, would probably wake her up, but the first was stronger than the second. She rolled somemore and suddenly hit her head on the side of the wall. She scowled.

Christian hated to do this. He moved the rabbit and the cupcake and pulled out his wand. "Augmenti!" He blasted her in the face with cold water. "Janey wake up!"

"I'll Swim!!I'll swim!!!"Jane said out loud as she felt the cold water, reminding her of that time she was to choose between swimming in the cold lake or have her dinner taken away for 3 nights, at a swimming lesson with a crazy coach.

Jane opened her eyes and looked at Christian. She scowled at him as she found the rabbit in his hands. She pouted.

"Sorry love." he dried her off and Gave her her rabbit and the cupcake. "You slepwalked right past me and Anna."

"I did???So...where are we now?"Jane sat up and held on to her rabbit. She took the cupcake, smiled and took a bite. It was probably too late to be eating but she couldn't resist. She just sat there on the floor, wondering what Christian was doing there at this hour. She looked left and right of the corridor, it was pretty empty and it was COLD!!!

Christian bundled her in his cloak. "We're in the corridor outside the Common room. I don't sleep anymore at night Jane, I can't with his voice inside my head."

"He's still there?? Did you talk to Professor Dumont?"Jane took his cloak and held on to it really tightly. She was really really cold! She looked at Christian, really hoping she could do something to help him sleep. She didn't want him to not sleep!!Cause then, probably she won't have much sleep either, worrying about him.

"Alright, you two," Anna said, turning around and motioning for them to follow her. "We've actually got to make it back inside the Common Room now. We can continue our talk in there. It's nearing curfew, and if we're caught ourside our Common Rooms after curfew, we'll all be in a mess! We'll take our walk some other day when it's not so late." Motioning for them to once again follow, Anna headed towards the portrait hole, so she could climb back inside. Come to think of it, she was getting sort of sleepy.

Okkayyyy so there was suddenly a billion and one people in the corridor. Apparently moving the Slytherins up here just meant there was even more chance for student-y angst? Good thing that the Hufflepuffs were safely down on the kitchen level!

Of course Celandine couldn't hear anything past what was going on with her and Raiden, on account of the mufflato charm that she'd cast before they'd started talking.

"I don't mind, Rai-Rai. You don't look at me quite the same. You look at me like you care about me for real and not just because you might maybe want something from me, like for me to do your homework or something." Heh. Or something. She ignored the question about how Cope looked at her, it was too hard to think about, especially while someone else was watching her and there was a risk of her feelings drawing themselves all over her face.

"That's what friends are for." Celandine agreed, looking around and casting finite on the mufflato charm. "It makes me feel alive to do dangerous things. I plan it first, you know, so I'm doing the dangerous thing the safest way possible." Cela thought it made perfect sense. She stood up and tugged Raiden's hand. "Let's go somewhere else okay? Somewhere quieter?" She tapped her foot impatiently and waved at Steven and Paris, adding a smile for Steven 'cos he didn't look too happy for some reason.

Christian opened the potrtait hole and held it open for them all to climb inside then once done he followed them in.

Jane obediently followed Anna. She was getting sleepy again, but she knew she couldn't sleep, not really. She would probably spend the night in the common room, just doing her homework with Christian, helping him to take his mind of that voice. She still had to write that letter to her family.She hadn't done so since she arrived at school.

Raiden blinked; where had all these people come from?! He couldn't hear them, but they were all flaily and there were two that were making eyes at each other and... It was really weird. His brain went a little more fuzzy; this was not helping his train of thought.

"Well... I may not be as smart as you, but I think I'm mostly capable of doing my own homework. You're welcome to help me, though." He smiled crookedly. "And I wouldn't mind doing dangerous things with you, if you're still planning the Willow ride... I want to go, if you'll let me."

There was touching again, and his hand was burning slightly, but he tried to ignore it. They were going somewhere else? As the muffliato ceased, the sound in the corridor burst into a dull roar of voices. Her calling him Rai-Rai... just added to the fuzziness.

"Yeah... let's... go somewhere else," he mumbled, blushing as he stood and stepped forward. "Where to?"

"I think only Copernicus is as smart as I am." Celandine answered earnestly. She beamed at him. "You should smile like that more Rai-Rai, it suits you." She did still want to do the Whomping Willow thing, and truthfully she had everything arranged to do so, it was just that even with Raiden, she didn't want to do it without Metal-Mouth.

"Let's go down to the great hall, get some mashed potato." Celandine suggested with a little smile. "With gravy of course."

Piper's heart was beating super fast in her chest and she was having alot of trouble breathing. What would he say, what would he do? Had she just ruined everything??? She couldn't breathe as she waited for him to speak. The wold went silent, and all Piper could hear was the beating of her heart as she watched Em open his mouth....

He liked her too???? Piper's head felt like it was spinning and a wide smile broke over her face.. "Really?" She asked as her heart beat returned to normal, though it was now skipping beats. "I... wow.. really?" She asked looking up at Em, the smile she wore lit up her entire face... However it faded a bit at his next words...

"Yes, I know you have some things to clear up..." Piper said, with a soft sigh... her head was still spinning...

Emiliano nodded, firmly...slight nod to assure what he had just said. "I like you, Piper..." He said it once more and took her hand. Finally...he had said it, now twice but it sure felt like the weight of the world was finally lowering from his shoulders again. He was in deep thought about what should he say next.

"You see...the friendship with Karma is something, I don't want to lose. I may need days, even a whole day alone with her to talk about matters of heart and our friendship to not hurt her for the decissions I will make soon. So, I ask you to be patient, I'll be there for you all the time you need me, anytime...just wait. I'll tell you when everything is...safe around us to just continue..." His words, as he thought were sort of clear. He just hoped Piper understood.

Piper could not believe that Emiliano actually liked her!!! She was shocked, but before she could get over the shock... Em spoke and she felt as if she had been doused in cold water..

Piper immediately felt terrible and she nodded, as she tried to understand what he was trying to say. "I understand.." She said softly, " And I will be patient.." Piper sighed softly, " Though, you must understand, this will not be easy for me. I'm not going to pretend that I won't get hurt... for I know I will when I see you with her, holding hands and hugging...." She sighed, " However, I know you will do what you feel best.." Piper sighed... " I just hope one day you will find out what your heart is telling you.. and that..." Piper trailed off..and that I end up in it, and not Karma..

Looking at everything that was around him, Mat wasn't much impress with what the seventh floor corridor had to offer. This was looking like any other school that he had been into. Another long and boring corridor. Popping one choco frog in his mouth, he bounced from one opposite to the other. Well since nobody was on this floor he might go explore the one below. Maybe there it would be able to see something fun or see someone.

Nancy had given up on searching for her cat Chistery. He obviously didn't want her company so she had decided that she did not need his either. Duh. And he preferred the presence of Steven anyways so if he needed somebody he should go to Steven. She seriously did not care what he was doing.

Seriously.

Well, okay, Nancy sort of missed Chis at times, he had been her cat for four years now after all, but there were other cats as well. She would so get herself a new one as soon as she got back to Diagon Alley. Who needed that black and white hairball anyway?

Due to all those thoughts going through her head Nancy had somehow ended up...somewhere. She blinked a few times at the vaguely familiar looking corridor she'd just stepped into. The 14 year old so knew what she was blinking at at the moment. She so did. Cough...

George stumbled along the corridor and then stopped, he stood with his back towards the wall (Or so he thought) and looked either way down the corridor. It was confusing, they all looked the same! He fumbled in his pocket for the map Professor Dumont had drawn him "C'mon" he mumbled, finally finding his position, he gasped. SEVENTH FLOOR!? He looked around and then squealed as he saw the window behind him "No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!" he repeated as he backed away from the window and fell to the floor, he started crying as he hit the floor and curled up.
