So they see the behavior and decide they don't want to see it, or the person with it until they decide to act differently. Either way it's only a guess. I'm kind of pulling this from thin air just to have something to vote for," she said looking at him and smirking.

Sometimes it was fun to argue. Usually if you didn't believe strongly in the topic. "If we vote and there is a tie I would be more than happy to convert 'to the dark side' to break it." She grinned up at the boy even wider with the last comment.

''...we are nearly talking about the same fuss but there's one thnig to be cleared out. I understand someone not wanting to see the so-called childish behaviour again and leave. But why does he or she not want to see it again? Because the behaviour is annoying and i believe the case here is clarifying the features of the stated behaviour, that it is unfavourable, not the attitude that is shown after it. Besides nearly everyone would find the behaviour annoying but not everyone would leave, for example she...'' he pointed to the Slytherin leader Evelyn Rose Flores ''..would punch the person in the face. The reaction varies. Punching, leaving..etc but the feeling about it always the same annoying, disliked so even hated.'' hoping he could make his thoghts clear he stared at her again ''Convert to the dark side? Great idea!'' laughing some he watched the other group thinking of another good idea to explain it further.

Sighing dramatically she continued, "Well you certainly are passionate about your argument. Perhaps I should wait to concede until you have either exhausted your argument or some other people in class decide to wake up and are convinced by your rantings as well. Go on convince me that the sky is really purple." Zoe, grinning from ear to ear at this point, winked at him in an exaggerated manner.

"Oh, and I'm all right with annoyed. My curiosity always wins out over my better judgment." Then she placed her elbows on the table cupping her hands around her chin and looked up at him with a mischievous look on her face that she was trying her hardest to make look innocent.

Kay looked at Marie and so hoped that she wouldn't be like that.

You are free to agree or disagree. I wont tell you to enjoy yourself.'' he directly stared at her eyes ''Because you already seem to be doing it and i like it. Besides i want you to know that if i happened to wish to convince you, you have been talking about how beautiful the purplish tone of the sky was by now'' he stepped forward and leaned forward to the desk, closer to her. ''And... about the flower thing your idea of never-to-meet again symbolyses never to face that behaviour again sounds good though the word 'meet' sounds weird with a behaviour, on the other hand hatred and revenge is too strong for the meaning. Looks like circumstances are equal but i still say Orange Lily plus it's looking better.'' Then leaning his back he smirked at her again ''What was your name?''

He once again understood that he had been doing the right thing, being in this group just sucked. They couldn't think, they couldn't interpret, and more importantly, they didn't care the others, there was only them and their ideas. He'd so get out of this, and he didn't care what the price was.

It took all of his will not to look up in shock when Joshua came over and asked him. When did this guy get over his hatred towards him? He winced again to show he was sick. Apparently staying head bent down did no good to his health. His head was throbbing, and because of shutting his eyes tightly, they were watery now. Though these were good symptoms, and if he was lucky, he might be even dizzy.

He just had to bit his lips not to snap the stupid, arrogant, mind-reading Hufflepuff girl (Kay). Seriously, how many people could read minds in this school? Everyone seemed to know what he was thinking. To him, his acting was pretty genuine, maybe only the panting was exaggeration. To keep this illness alive, he started to try to vomit by pressing on his stomach, thinking unpleasant things and by acting as if he was really puking. It always worked. Good, the trembling and nausea was coming... once he started vomiting, he knew it would turn into a real illness. And it wasn't so hard, he was already hungry and his stomach tended to puke. He would have hugged Evelyn for supporting him if he had the opportunity. But now, he had to focus on his acting.

It literally took all of his will to stay calm at those stupid Hufflepuffs. All of his thoughts had changed for them: they were bad, and they weren't reliable in emergency. They could neither cast a spell properly, nor were they friendly. So what if he wanted to "get sick"? They too would go to their smelly kitchen hole and they would have more time to work on their fake "honest and sweet" image everyone would be happy. Major eye roll. Or he would have, if he wasn't truly nauseatic now.

He ignored all the voices that didn't worry for him, and covered his mouth not to vomit. He did it! He swallowed it, and made even iller face, now truly feeling it. He straightened up a bit, taking deep breaths. Then came this sweet, little, helpful, the only person who didn't read minds, angel-like Hufflepuff girl. She would save him! He just shook his head when another vibration passed through, which lead to another unpleasant moment of swallowing. He saw the bin and relieved, and took a mental note to find and thank to this cute angel once he got out of this properly. Aww, she was trying to convince the others he was really sick, aww! He totally fell in love with the girl. Who cared Fallon or Lyra, were they even here? He tried to smile at the girl, but he trembled again before swallowing the horrible content again. Ha, who could say he was NOT sick now?

Then, another evil idea just popped in his head. What if he vomited on that idiot, arrogant Hufflepuff girl (Kay)? Wouldn't that be freakin' awesome? He grinned in his mind. Mwaha. Then she could not go on that stupid lie of "oh he's not ill". Because she would be the best proof of his true illness. He missed Evelyn's look because of trying to avoid the real wave of vomit before the professor showed up. Talking of who, he did, asking him what was wrong. To answer his question, he let his vomit loose in the bin, and with that smell, he vomited more. Eww. A tear from his eye made its way through his chin as he looked up at the professor for a second, then another wave came, and he stuck his head once more in the bin. But nothing came as his stomach was already empty. It was even more ew. He wondered what would happen now, or more importantly, if the teacher had believed him. But he felt weaker, and all he could think was "I feel vomity!" So yeah, probably the occlumency wouldn't work at this minute. He WON! He wanted to grin and lalala at the Hufflepuff girl. Seriously, and the Huffies ought to be kind and friendly. Apparently they too were sorted when the Sorting Hat was tired. If it was up to him, he wouldn't even accept them to the school, yet alone sorting them into Hufflepuff! Unbelieveble.

Lyra scanned the room with her eyes and secretly looked towards where Evan was standing. He looked funny. Not a good funny but a aweful funny. Like he was sick. Lyra gasped loudly and pushed herself off her chair, it dropped to the floor and the same goes to her books. She ran towards Evan with a terrified expression almost knocking over the Professor and the few students that were standing close by.

"EVAN!" she cried and wanted to come closer to him. Lyra wanted to help him, just like he had rescued her in the Great Hall! She was just stepping foreward to hug him or anything , when he vomited in a bin. "w-what's wrong with him?!" she asked the others although she didn't look at them. Her watery eyes were only set on Evan. How did he get sick? he looked fine this morning...
Lyra had to bite her lip not to cry out loud. She trembled seeing her boyBest friend looking weak.

"Go and see Nurse Melitta, Mr. Cartwright." Not that she'd help. She'd probably just give him a cookie and be done with it. He tapped the end of his wand on his side and vanished the vomit in the bin. The smell was quickly mingling with Bulgarian Roses and he didn't need anyone else getting sick.

He wasn't mean, he was just... impatient with their kind of people. Anyways, what was done was done, and he was really happy that he could finally get out of the class. He had nothing towards the professor, but the grouping was not his style.

He got up holding Lyra's shoulder, and then immediately dropped his hand. Holding Lyra's shoulder was off-limits for him now. He stand a little bent down, and started walking towards the door slowly when--

FIVE POINTS?! He halted holding the door knob. He wanted to turn and beg for those points, but he was sick. It couldn't be even worse. He wondered if Lyra could come with him too, but he doubted it. And she'd better earn those points back!

He finally turned the door knob and stepped outside. Turning back he said "Have a... er--nice lesson." and closed the door, the sound of his footsteps becoming fainter with every moment...

He had helped her once in a difficult time and now it was her time to return the favour.

Lyra steadied her feet when Evan dragged himself up and used her shoulder as support but the pressure was gone very soon. Lyra looked at him with a raised eyebrow and knew what he was thinking. Fallon. Hmpf the stupid girl wasn't even bothering to help him! She watched as Evan started to walk away towards the door and had then stopped, holding the door knob. She looked suprised at him but then she heard her name. It wasn't even her first name, but her last name and she knew she was in trouble



Five points?......


Lyra turned around sharply and gazed with her mouth slightly open towards the professor. Five points... she never lost points from Slytherin before..never. Lyra forgot about Evan for a second and just stood there. A few seconds passed as she continued to hear 'five points from Slytherin' in her head and then it hit her. She had just lost points! "S-sorry Professor. It won't happen again" she said quickly and bowed with her head. When she looked up again she saw another Slytherin student glaring at her. Having the feeling to shout What?! at her but Lyra controlled herself. She didn't wanted to loose more points.

Although, truth be told, being as how the boy did just about toss up his right lung, he was probably better off visiting Kazimeriz for a bottle of pepper-up.

'Kindness':
Cherry Blossom

'True Friend':
Pink Rose

'Never Forget':
Forget-me-not



I shall never forget your kindness. You are a true friend.

"Besides I think that I have always preferred the 'Red' spider lily over the Orange lily," she said in almost a whisper the corner of her mouth creeping up once again, she leaned in closer towards him pointing to her tie. "The name is Zoe. It means life in Greek."

She'd make a cool friend, she definitely had the potential. Not enough but her way of debating was enjoyable. ''I bet it is Orange Lily anyway, you will see'' he said confidently ''The case is closed'']

He's not good at Divination but he was always do his very best on their every lesson of the such subjection. Divination was once a subject that confused him a lot but he's at progress, in understanding Divination much better.

"And Carnation, Sir, is associated and represented the word Disappointment." He stated. He skipped the word Unfavourable cause he didn't find the answer yet. Then he turned to LouAnn who was asking about the other people's suggestion. He pondered for a while, checking every bit of possible answer for the tricky word. "I think LouAnn..err..to find what flower represents Unfavourable.. we must connect Unfavourable to the other underlined words.. So Freesia that represents Childishness and Carnation represents Disappointment. I think Unfavourable may refer to Jealousy, which is represented by a Yellow Rose. To make it clearer, referring to the sentence in the strip of parchment (Your silly childishness is unfavourable and disappointing in my eyes).. Silly childishness and Immaturity can be infer as Jealousy..cause being jealous is a sillyness and unfavourable, yep. And when someone is Jealous and acts Childishly, It is therefore, a disappointment to other's eyes." He suggested, in hope that it will make things clearer and he wished that his statements were all accurate. Cedric was not really sure about his answer so he is free to take other's comments and suggestions.

"I think I'm done Professor." he answered as he turned to their Professor and to his classmates, pretending to be confident and conceited.

This was good right? That she could help Evan. Or was this another way of saying leave the classroom? Lyra didn't know nor cared. The fact that her best friend was ill was the only thing on her mind and she nodded her head in agreement. "Yes Sir, i will and thanks" she said and quickly turned around and walked calmly out of the classroom. Seeee manners! yay for her. But the moment she had opened the door she ran through the corridor, hoping to catch up with Evan.

He's quite nervous; he took out his wand nervously but he still have a little confidence and pride inside him.

"Alright, Miss Flores, lets have a look at what you and your team chose for 'true friend'." He readied his wand and flicked it at the pile of flowers floating a pink rose. "Very good. The answer was indeed, a pink rose. Your team also did very well in chosing sakura. The blossoms from the cherry tree to represent 'kindness'." He said, likewise floating a sakura blossom from the pile of flowers to demonstrate with visuals. "I'm afraid, though, that 'never forget' is a bit off. Zinnias or bluebells were two possible answers. So I'm afraid I can't give full credit, but your team did earn 10 points for both Slytherin and Hufflepuff. Good job for the Slytherin-Hufflepuff team!" Ten out of fifteen wasn't bad at all. He marked their points to magically place in the hourglasses later on a parchment, feeling that they should all be proud of their efforts.

"Well done, both of you team captains. You both did a great job helping today. As did you all. Hufflepuff, your combined efforts earned you 27 points, Ravenclaw, you did well at 31 points. Gryffindors, 39 and Slytherin, you were the top points earners for this lesson with 42 points. There's to be no homework for this lesson, just enjoy your weekend. Class dismissed." He called and hit the GONG one last time.

"Alright, Mr. Leone, lets see what you've got up on the board." The Professor turned and took a small step to gain better vantage of the Ravenclaw-Gryffindor teams selections. "This is very good also. Freesia is exactly what I would've chosen for 'childishness', and carnation is spot on for 'disappointing'. 'Unfavourable' was really a very tricky one, because while it is a negative thing, it wasn't very specific. A yellow rose is a good choice, but an orange lily was what I was looking for, because the context of the sentence is meant to be one of overall dislike. Still, Ravenclaw-Gryffindor came out ahead. Congratulations, you've earned 13 points for each of your houses."
