" Er.... I don't have a boyfriend, I would ratehr keep boys as close friends,but maybe I'll see you to there be can get a butterbeer at the three broomsticks or something"? Alex asked smiling. sHe looked at Sky who was staying weirdly quite wandering what wrong, Alex continued to stare out the window.

Ella danced into the Gryffindor Common Room, overjoyed. This smile was going to be planted on her face for a verrrrryyy long time. She looked around for someone to talk to; to express her happiness too. Wink wink.

"I'm alright. Just wondering why I'm stilling sitting here and I haven't finished my homework yet." she replied with a smile of mischief.

" Sure, we can get a butterbeer at Hogsmeade this week-end" Jason told Alexandria. " You know doing homework, going to cleaases and having freinds is a great idea" Jason told Alexandria.

" Well, I was just asking Alexandria to have a butterbeer with me and Victoria" Jason told Sky. " I am glad you came in the common room because I wanted to ask you to go with us to have a butterbeer, too" Jason said to Sky. " I love having friends get together and just talk and have a good time" Jason told her.

Lucy stared into Rafe's eyes as he asked her about keeping a secret. She stared at him for a whole minute before she answered.
"Yes, I can keep your secret, if you trust me," she whispered, leaning in very close. Too close.

''Yeah, i can keep secrets, too'' shouting out, Josh settled between them in a sudden with a huge smirk on his face. ''And really do trust you. Do you trust me?'' he stared from the girl to the boy laughing as he made himself comfortable in the armchair.

"Well it's good to know you can keep secrets," Rafe said boisterously, "Because guess what," he looked around as if to check that no one else was listening, and paused for a moment, "So can I!" Rafe simply smiled widely as he stepped back from the situation. Like he was really going to tell anyone what his secret was. He didn't want to die in the process. "It's called a secret for a reason you know?" He crossed his arms and shook his head. Oh the nerve of some people. But, he had to admire them for trying.

Jason called out to the Gryffindors in the room. " We shou;d all go to HogsMeade to get butterbeers" " This will show camararadie among us especially for Quidditch and homework" Jason told them all.

Lucy jumped back as a boy dropped into their conversation. She was so surprised and mad at him for ruining the mood. Rafe might have told her what it was if he hadn't dropped in.
"Excuse me, but we were having a PRIVATE conversation here!" Lucy said angrily to the boy. She had never seen him before but now she knew she didn't really like him.
"I know what a secret is, Rafe, and maybe we should move our conversation somewhere else where we won't be interrupted," Lucy said pointedly as she stared at the annoying boy.

"Except Hogsmeade isn't open to the students quite yet!" Rafe shouted back to the student. He quickly returned to the nosy little Gryffindors before him. He hoped he didn't offend them, but it was true he couldn't tell them, trust or no trust. His mum made him promise and he would rather face a couple of angry Gryffindors than the wrath of his mother.

"I'm sorry doll, but I just can't," Rafe said. "The only secret that I can tell you is I am a huge weeper when it comes to sad movies. Put me in front of the muggle television and when P.S. I Love You is on and you'll find me bawling like a baby." Rafe smiled, he had to give her something at least. "I'm sure you want some dark grizzly tale, but you're not going to get it from me, love." Rafe patted her on the shoulder. "You can ask me almost anything, and I'm usually an open book, but there's some waters that should never be plunged in." He gave her a sympathetic look and to the boy she angrily yelled at. It wasn't his fault that he didn't say anything more on the subject. It was his own self-conscious.

Lucy was disappointed. She really wanted to know what was going on with Rafe, and she absolutely knew there was something eerie about him.
"Fine, don't tell me" she replied in a childish way and turned her back on him.

"We never have been properly introduced" Jason told the girl who get mad at a certain Gryffindor boy. " I am Jason Potter Weasley- seventh year" he told her. " So, looks like you have been here awhile but how do you like HogWarts?" Jason asked her. " I have seen you around but have not been able to talk to you because we always seem to be ralking to someone else at thee time" Jason said to her.

"Nice to meet you, Jason. Yes, I've been here for 4 years--I love Hogwarts, it's like my second home. I've seen you around, too," Lucy replied.
"You're very outgoing, and love talking to people--I always see you introducing yourself to others. Which is great! You must have a ton of friends!" Lucy said to Jason.
She wished Rafe would trust her like a friend and tell her his secret, but he wouldn't budge. Lucy chanced a look at Rafe and sighed.

Josh roared with laughter at the boy's words and the girl's expression when she heard them. He patted him on his back ignoring the girl for the time being ''That was wicked mate, i loved it, keep going...''. He was about to comment on the joke more however the girl shouting out caused him to forget what he was going to say ''Hey, hey, hey!'' he did a move like he was trying to protect himself from a vicious attack ''Calm down hun'' it was really amazing how girls did get so dissappointed when they did not have anything to gossip about ''I did not know it was private and you were lovers.''joking more he stood up and bowed to her ''I'm really sorry m'lady. I did not mean to annoy you and interrupt your lovely conversation''

Lucy turned bright red as the new boy, or Josh as he was called, started apologizing.
"First, of all, we are not lovers . Second of all, it was really rude of you to jump into our conversation like that, but I accept your apology. I guess I was kind of rude about it. Josh, is it?" she asked him, her face slightly returning to her normal color.

"Oh." Carter said. "I just finished with mine. What are you working on?" he said to Tori. He then noticed Ella dancing about. "Hello Ella, you look awfully cheery."

Rafe just shrugged and sat next to the younger boy Gryffie on another chair.

"Hey now!" Rafe said as he plopped in the chair. "She most certainly NOT my lover as you like to put it! I'm a single man, who don't need nobody! I've got to keep my options open!" The boy was on his feet, he was working his flattery on the angry girl. "Don't waste your time mate, she's clearly moved on." He laughed at his attempt. "You're Josh, right?" he asked the Gryffindor. "You're one of the chasers on the Quidditch team!" Rafe extended his hand, "I'm Rafe Lycaon, newly appointed Keeper!"

One of things Lucy hated was not being trusted by someone. She hated being ignored more. So, she turned back to Rafe and pretended the whole secret thing had never happened.
"So, will you still tutor me in Transfiguration?" she asked Rafe with a slight smile on her face. One of the best things about Lucy was that she was never mad at anyone for long.

Rafe continued to just lounge about in the chair, he was surprised that she was even speaking to him after the little stunt he pulled. Maybe she was trying to attempt to get closer with him, so that he would reveal his secret? That certainly was never going to happen. But, maybe she genuinely just needed some help. "Alright, I would be happy to help! What do you need help with?"

"Accio," Lucy replied. "Teach me how to cast the spell."
Although Lucy really needed help with that spell, the fact that Rafe didn't want to expose himself was torturing her on the inside. She was blind to the way her inner mind worked--using help as a way to get closer to someone.

''I appreciate freedom as well'' Josh replied with a wide smile as Rafe said she was not his pretty little lover. He glanced back at the girl some, for very short time, thinking about the possiblities of making her forgive him. He usually enjoyed annoying the girls around, specially thet Hufflepuff Abigail (it was of great fun to play with her since she'd got easily stirred high temper) but looked back at Rafe when he mentioned that it was kinda not possible to soothe her. ''Yeah, i'm happy to be known as Josh'' he started to scratch his hair again as he spoke ''One of the charsers. And I'm glad to be one so, i really do like to chase... anything...'' he gave him a mischevious grin ''...you know.'' glancing back at the girl again for a second he shoke hands with Rafe ''Nice to smell ya Rafe. I hope you keep our bottoms away from trouble then''

''I was joking as usual'' he said about the 'lovers' case ''And, yep...'' he nodded ''...you are right. I'm frequently rude, generally unaware of it. I happen to realise it when people react. Plus...'' looking for something in his pockets he kept talking ''...i dont think there's a possibility that a girl can be rude anyway'' finally digging what he was looking for out his pocket he gave her a little bar of chocolate ''Yes dear lady. I'm called Josh and i sincerely thank you for accepting my apology''
