"It is true." Chris said. But then he heard Lena explain why she didn't quite want to finish school. "Ohhh." He said and took her hand. "I know if you weren't having to come back here next term than you could come with me. But soon enough you will be done with school and you will be able to see me more frequently. Plus it isn't like I am moving away for ever I will be back and talking to as much as possible." He promised smiling.

Chris heard Jason and turned to him letting go of Lena's hand. "Hey Jason." He said. "Ummm yeah me too Jay. It has been great." He said nodding. He then stood up thinking Jason was going to give him a hand shake or something soon. "We have been through a lot together." He said with a small chuckle. That's when Jason hugged him in a sort of guy hug. Chris at first stood there and then hugged he back. "I will miss you too. We have keep in touch alright?" He asked as he pulled back out of the 'man hug'. "Bye Jason." He said watching him walk away. He then sat back down next to Lena.

Lena sighed but nodded. I know. That's what I keep trying to tell myself, she said, smiling very slightly and giving Chris's hand a small squeeze before he let it go to say his goodbyes to Jason. As Chris sat back down, Lena smiled weakly. You're not gonna go all teary on me, are you? she asked him with a wink. I mean, it's okay if you do, I'd just like some prior warning, she added.

Chris looked at Lena as she asked if he was going to get all teary on her. "Wellllll ummmm maybe." He said only joking cause he wasn't about to cry over a goodbye well not this one. Jason was a good friend and all but so much had happened between them they just weren't as close as they once were.....Thatss when Chris turned his back to Lena and acted all sad still only teasing her of course.

Lena laughed slightly, but he pulled of the face so well that she ended up frowning slightly and kissing him lightly. Any better? she asked, tilting her head to the side slightly as she pulled away a few seconds later. Her eyes were still their normal green, but there was a definitive light purple tint just around her pupils.

Though Chris at first didn't think he was going to be sad he was. He was saying good-bye to people. That meant he was really leaving Hogwarts and never ever coming back. The sad face that was once fake.....was now real. But he soon felt Helena kissing him and for those few seconds he forgot about everything. When they had both pulled out of the kiss Chris smiled a small smile to her question. "Yeah a bit." He said taking her hand into his own and crossed fingers with her.

Lena smiled but it was weakly - she could tell that things were starting to sink in for him and he really was leaving. Her smile tweaked up a bit though as he took one of her hands into her own. She placed her other hand lightly on his cheek, her eyes searching Chris's, and whispered, Don't be sad. I'm right her for you, and I love you. Her smile turned encouraging with these words.

Even though Chris felt Lena's soft pale hand on his cheek he could not smile. He was fully realizing right than with in a weeks time he would be gone. He would leave all his friends and Lena....Sighhhh could he go through anymore good-byes??? He would have to somehow some way he would have toooo....But he saw Lena looking into his eyes and a smile reappered on his face at her words. "It's kind of hard not to. I know you are." He said but than he heard those three other words and he felt butterflies in his stomach. "I love you too." He told her still smiling.

Lena smiled at this, widening even more as he said he loved her once more. She let her hand drop from his cheek and placed it on top of their entwined ones. She looked down at them for a moment before looking back up at Chris. I won't distract you from your dinner anymore, she said with a chuckle.

Chris smiled wide as Helena smiled wide. Yet he chuckled at her statement. "I think I'm actually done eating for today. I'm kind of full and not feeling really hungry anymore." He said and shrugged. It was true right now his stomach was the last thing he was thinking about. Well he actually wanted to go to bed. But his mind was racing about him leaving about being in America, also his mind would keep skipping back to Helena. How she was going to be at that all boys camp. Sighhhhh hopefully soon all this worrying and stress would be over...

Lena nodded slightly at his words, though she was still feeling bad that he'd gone without eating when they were fighting.... sigh.... she hated fighting with Chris. Okay, she said before she was broke off by a yawn she couldn't repress. She mentally cursed and then sighed. Maybe we should turn in for the night, she said after a moment, even though that was the last thing she really wanted to do; still, she was sooo tired.

Chris chuckled as he saw Lena yawn. "Yes we probably should you look like you need to go to bed now." He said smiling slightly. Though Chris soooo did not want to leave Helena right now he knew that there was no way she was going to be able to stay up any longer. Chris then stood up and offered his hand to Lena. "I'm suprised you didn't just fall asleep right here." He said chuckling.

Lena chuckled slightly when Chris said she looked like she needed to go to bed, but she accepted his hand without complaint. Thanks, she said, standing up without much help, though still keeping a hold on his hand. She stuck her tongue out when he said he was surprised she didn't fall asleep at the table, but then she chuckled once more. I am, too, to be honest, she said with a grin as they began walking towards the entrance hall, their hands swinging together between them.

"Welcome." Chris said smiling. THough he laughed as Lena stuck her tongue out at him. "Nicccce Lena real nice. I was just being honest." He said rolling his eyes playfully. He then started to walk with Helena towards the entrance hall and chuckling lightly feeling their hands swinging between the two of them. "Haha! See you had no right to stick your tongue out at me this time!" He said to her and winked.

Lena rolled her eyes with a grin as she came to stop in the doorway to the entrance hall, turning to face Chris finally with a small smile on his face. She sighed lightly and tiptoed up to kiss him lightly. I love you, she said, still on her toes with a small smile before returning to the heels of her feet.

Chris smiled as Helena rolled her eyes. But then with no warning she just stopped right at the door. Chris lokked at her curiously. But before anything could be said or done she was kissing him. He smiled wide and kissed her back for that short way to short seconds. Then came those three words again. "I love you too." He said smilimg widely towards her. But there was just no way he couldn't chuckle as she returned to her normal height. Heeehee she was short.....

Lena smiled at this, but she rolled her eyes once more as she guessed what Chris was chuckling about. She let go of his hand to put her arms around his torso and hug him tightly. I'll see you tomorrow, okay? she said, being sure to turn her head sideways so the words wouldn't come out all muffled like they wanted to.

Chris saw Lena roll her eyes once more. Though before he could comment she was hugging him. He smiled lightly and hugged her back. He kiss the top of her head before resting his head on hers lightly. "Yeah okay." He said to her words. Though he still didn't want to leave Helena they both need to cause she was probably going to fall asleep any minute.....

Lena smiled slightly as Chris kissed the top of her head, but she let out a small sigh at his words; she could identify his tone with the one she'd been using as well.... but she was far too tired to do anything about it. She pulled back from him slightly to lean up and give him one last light kiss. Goodnight, she said with a small smile, giving his hand a last squeeze and making her way across the entrance hall and descending down to the dungeons.

Chris felt that last light kiss. He smiled and pulled back to look at Lena. "Night." He said as he felt that last hand squeeze. That's when he watched Helena walk through the entrance hall. He sighed and took one quick glance at the Great Hall. This was going to be one of the last times he was in here. The thought filled his brain. He then shook his head trying to get ride of the thought but he couldn't. So instead he just walked out of the Great Hall heading back to the seventh floor. It was true he was really leaving and he could do nothing about it......
