"Hey Evan. I'm good. That date was akward, right?" he said smiling. He wasn't the nicest to Nate before so Nate wanted to fix it.

When the boy thanked her, LouAnn turned back around with a smile. "Oh, you're welcome. I know all my spells...I think...but I just don't always think to use them," she admitted, laughing just a little. So apparently he wanted to talk, which LouAnn honestly didn't mind, so she walked back towards him. "Nice to meet you, Ray. I'm LouAnn Purple," she said. "You're lucky to be a seventh year. I'm only a fifth year, so I've got a ways to go."

"Well that the difference between you and me! I can't stop using my magic" Ray revealed to the girl. "LouAnn purple nice to have met you!" Ray said as he grinned. He did hear that name somewhere... Again his memory failed him to remember exactly when or where! "Well fifth year is just two year away from graduations... I'll sure miss these walls" Ray said as he tapped the wall next to him. "The castle means a lot to me, part of it is a heritage... Well being Hufflepuff's last descendant!" Ray revealed, "My great-great-great..." It was then that he remembered where he had heard of LouAnn. "You are LouAnn Purple, Abby's friend?" Ray asked all of a sudden.

Okay, why did Nate just bring that delicate topic up? "Yeah, it totally was." Evan answered. He really didn't know what to say. "You're a cute couple, with Kylie." That was the girl's name, right? And it didn't look rude or something, did it? He suddenly regretted making such a comment. It would have been better if he just shut up. Oh well. No need to cry after spoilt milk.

A little confused, LouAnn glanced up at the boy and asked, "What do you mean you can't stop using your magic? I didn't think any of us could just stop. Do we ever just lose our magic?" Maybe he was referring to some else, though, because as far as LouAnn knew, no magical person could just lose their magic. She didn't think so at least. Although, if it was possible, she could imagine something strange like that happening to her.

She smiled, though, when he said it was nice to meet her. She had yet to meet a rude person here at Hogwarts. LouAnn watched him tap the walls then wondered if the castle would one day mean as much to her as it did to Ray. She'd only been hear a little less that one full school year and already things seemed to be going downhill for her.

She blinked a little when he asked about Abby Wright. That was...the girl she'd been having nightmares about. "Well...we've only just met in classes and the such. I really don't know her well," she simply replied. She hesitated a moment then decided to question him. "Why do you ask?"

"Oh no one can lose their magic... You can lose the power to control it under some kind of emotional stress but what I meant is that I can't seem to have enough of using magic... Maybe I am addicted to it" Ray joked to release the pressure of the girl.

"Oh well yeah Abby is my friend and I haven't seen her for days now. She isnt showing at class and no one seems to know where she is lately! I can ask a professor about what to do but I thought maybe as you know here you did see her somewhere in this big castle" Ray revealed to LouAnn. He was getting really worried that Abby had left or something bad happened to her.

LouAnn laughed along with Ray's joke about being addicted to magic. "I guess it is really addicting. I can't even begin to imagine how muggles do all they do without the help of magic, you know. I mean, they have to constantly wash all their dishes by hand, drive hours and hours at times to get from one place to another...it must be madness!" she exclaimed. Having come from a pureblood family, LouAnn definitely wasn't used to the muggle way of doing everyday tasks.

"Hmm...well, if I see her around, I'll tell her you are looking for her," LouAnn honestly offered. "She and I usually only see one another in classes, so I'll probably see her around soon." Ray had mentioned she hadn't shown in any of her classes, though. "Hmm...no classes, though, you say? Maybe she's sick. Have you talked to the Healer or to your Head of House?" she asked.

"Well I haven't yet" Ray replied. "I think I might go to the hospital wing and ask if someone had seen her or if she checked in and if they didn't... Well I think I might resort to the head prefect!" Ray added. "Thanks LouAnn for the idea!" Ray thanked Abby.

"Am I holding you back?" Ray asked all of a sudden as he realised he just stopped LouAnn without thinking that she might have some place to go to.

"Thanks but we broke up. So, What's up?" he said realizing Evan was trying to avoid the subject.

...They broke up? Why? They were pretty nice in the café. But then again, it might have been just for that day. How long had it been, a week? Many things could change in a week.

"Aw. Sorry. Why?" he asked, looking really sad. The girl was too young, right, but still... they were cute.

"It just didn't feel right. It wasn't the same as it was in the beginning. Oh, well. We broke up a few days ago." he said looking at the ground.

"Yeah, it's better to end if it didn't feel right..." Evan said, and decided not to push it any further. "So, you like soccer?" he asked out of blue to change the subject. He thought he could actually like this guy. First impressions were always wrong anyway.

"Yeah! I love it! I could play it all day!" he said hoping Evan liked it too.

Oh. Merlin. This was awesome! So cool! "I can't live without soccer." he said enthusiastically. So maybe they would play sometime. That would be awesome! "Do you support any team? I'm a True Blue, even though I'm a Scouse."

"I have no idea what you just said." Nate was rasied in the Muggle World after all. He like the Brazilian team and the USA team. He wondered if that was some type of lingo. Maybe they had soccer in the Wizard World...

"Mmhmm, that sounds like a good idea. The Hospital Wing or Professor Shackleton-Clark's office...either one...or both," she suggested. It was odd that Ray hadn't seen Abby in a few days, especially since they seemed to be pretty good friends. It was also unusual to hear that the girl hadn't been to class in a few days either. Who misses that many classes? "Oh, you're welcome! If you need any help, let me know!"

She shook her head when he asked if he was holding her back. "No, no, not at all. I was just taking a walk around the castle. You know...nothing else better to do," she replied with a smile. "It was cool meeting you. I'm glad we ran into each other...literally."

"Oh yes of course I'll surely let you know" Ray replied when LouAnn offered her help. Ray was surely luck to have met the girl, she gave him now a good idea about where to search for Abby.

Ray laughed at LouAnn joke. "Well it was nice meeting you too" Ray said after he regained his composure

And Evan was suddenly excited that he'd just met his life time wizard friend. Nate didn't know the Scousers, but he lived in Britain. He didn't know Ture Blues, but he said he liked soccer. Evan sighed. "Scouse means the people from Liverpool." He gave a questioning look as if asking if Nate knew that Liverpool was a city. "And True Blue is the name of fans of Chelsea Football Club."

"It was nice meeting you, too! Good luck with the rest of your seventh year, and well...have a cool life and all," she said with a smile. It seemed as if Ray was ready to go, so LouAnn wouldn't keep him any longer. He was probably wanting to go talk with the Healer or with the Head of House to see if they could help find Abby. "Mmkay, so I'm heading back to the Gryffindor Common Room now. Talk to ya later!" she said. The click-clacking of LouAnn's shoes got fainter and fainter as she walked further down the corridor and out of sight.

Ray watched as LouAnn after she said goodbye. It would be nice to meet her again, Ray thought to himself as he headed towards the hospital wing. Abby I hope I'd find you there!. Ray thought as he walked in the opposite direction to LouAnn.

Wandering the corridor alone with two packages for both Alex and Lucille he sat down thinking. His life was about to change.. but for good reasons.. he wanted to share the news with his close mates. He placed the packs down on the side and sat there with a huge smile across his face.

Lucille walked around the corner and saw Warren grinning wildly. Hmm. She didnt expect that after their last conversation. Grinning sheepishly, she walked towards him.

Alex hurried down the corridor, Warren had summoned her here, to tell her something important. So, she rushed out of her common room, and hurried down here. She hoped nothing was wrong.

She turned the corner to see him standing there with a huge smile on his face. Alex breathed a sigh of relief. "Well I am glad to see you are not hurt. Goodness Warren you scared me!" She said as she moved to hug him, than backed up and looked at him.

"What is up?" She asked him.

Warren picked up the package and gave it to Alex. ''Im now an offical international Quidditch player! I just made the youth England team! and when im older i can be on the real pro team!'' Waz jumped up and down in excitement, he was soo happy! and proud of himself.
The package contained a V.I.P Ticket to all his games, a signed photo of his him and the senior team, and a Team Waz t-shirt. ''V.I.P Ticket means you sit with the celebs!''


Waz hadn't seen Lucille for a while, so he was glad to share her the news. ''I made the international Quidditch team! IM A PRO!!'' He jumped up and down with the smirk on his face that told everyone he was happy. ''I have this for you!'' The same as what he gave Alex, V.I.P ticket which made her attend games for free and sit with the celebs, Team Waz t-shirt and a signed photo of his team and the senior team.

Alex blinked as Warren handed her a package. "You are WHAT?" She asked looking down at the package in her hands. "Warren! That is amazing!" She said grinning at him, "I know how much you have wanted to be a Quidditch player!" She smiled at him widely, "And thanks for all this! You will still be coming to school right?" She asked him.
