Oh Lucy I love you" she began pretending to be Rafe, hands together in front of her chest, one foot half in the air and dreammy eyes " Lucy you are my angel!" she laughed...

... but it quickly dropped. Why was Rafe so hug crazy? Kept hugging every girl in Hogwarts! She sighed and looked away, rolling her eyes.

The whole thing was very amusing to her. She glanced at Ari, as Rafe had called her many times, and laughed. "I've said it a million times...but its just funny to me how Slytherin girls and Gryffindor boys find each other."

"Oh, well I suppose you should watch yourself, next thing you know you'll be," he sounded all high-pitch and girl with a hint of an Italian accent, "Oh scusi Theo, you are so dreamy, let's talk about books! Oooooh!" Rafe laughed and did the same over-dramatic performance. Rafe grabbed Ari around the neck and gave her a noogie, frizzing up her hair just a little be more.

Rafe looked back over at Marilyn. "So have you two met?" he asked as he pointed between Ari and Marilyn. "Well, if you haven't...Little Italy, this is Monroe...Monroe, Little Italy!" Rafe said cheerily. "Looks like my two Diagon Alley girls have finally got together! Think of the trouble we can start up!"

Rafe smiled. It was like the circle of friendship was expanding. He gave himself a little credit. He was so grateful to have such amazing friends.

Then it proceeded to drink from Rafe's goblet.

SPOILER!!: The Note

Dear Rafe,
I wanted to talk to you alone about what happened yesterday. Do you mind meeting me in the Pumpkin Patch as soon as you are done with your breakfast? If you can't make it, please send a note by return owl. Otherwise, I will be waiting for you.

P.S. I promise there are NO drinks involved.

Thanks,
Lucy McLean

"Um...sure, take all you want," Rafe said as he watched the owl drink from his goblet. Gross...

Rafe picked up the letter and shook of the mac 'n' cheese stuck on it. "Ick!" Rafe said in disgust. He opened the note and read over it twice. He knew this would be coming sooner or later and that brief moment of happiness seemed to wash away from him. "Well, it looks like it's going to be sooner rather than later," he said to himself.

Marilyn smirked again, amused at that the girl was still talking to her. "Im a first year...And as far as friends go, Rafe's one of the only people I trust. I can talk to him about anything." She smiled pleasantly, glad she had a friend like Rafe Lycaon.

"Cool "Josh, how are you doing ? Jason asked him as the owl flew over Jason's heads d. " Yhe letter you are reading and the look on your face seems to indicate something is up" Jason said to Josh. "Care to share with a friend?" Jason asked him.

Josh looked around when he heard someone saying his name only to see Jason ''Hey Big J'' he said smiling but not like his everyday cheerful one. Then he looked back at the orange letter the owl was still holding. ''Actually i have not read it yet. Just hesitating'' it was feeling like something bad was hidden in it just like how he felt in the Potions classroom.

OOC: New color
"Hey, Gryffies!" Sky sang, sitting down.

Alex looked up as she saw Sky arrive " Hey, have you eaten yet?" she asked streching her arms.

Lexi flitted to her house table and stopped next to a boy she didn't know. Looking over at him she gave a weak smile and said, "Do you mind if I have a seat here?"

Arianna stuck her tongue out at him. She could hit him on the head at that instante for that little performance, but instead she just laughed. " Well, he knows he's dreamy and I don't need a love potion to tell him that" she let it slid. She wasn't sure if Rafe was conscious when she tried to tell him how close she and Theo were now. She turned to Marilyn instead " We have, just a few minutes ago" she smiled warmly at her " and you can't do introducing me by Little Italy, my name is Arianna, boy!" she said pinching lightly on the shoulder.

Rafe rolled his eyes about her comment about Theo being dreamy. Ick! "Well, I've got an engagement I must attend to. I hate to part ways with you lovely ladies," Rafe stood up and gave a low bow. Rafe bent down so only Marilyn and Ari could here. "If I act funny after I return from the Pumpkin Patch use the spell Petrificus Totalus, this will put me in a body bind and levitate me to the Hospital Ward," Rafe's tone was slightly timid. He left with a smile of comfort. He pocketed the letter and made his way to the grounds.

As Josh mentioned that he had not read the letter yet again his owl got mad again and started to fly above him to force the Gryffindor boy read it by the way of annoying. Despite her efforts he just ignored him and glabced at the girl who was asking if she could sit the empty seat next to him. ''Sure, sure..help you...-'' his voice trailed of when the owl hit his head with her huge hooked beak ''STOP IT!'' Josh yelled at the bird and scared of his raised voice she flew away. ''That's better.'' he turned back to the girl ''Sorry, my owl is just...crazy and hard to control''

" Ok, just take it one sentence at a time" Jason told Josh. " You and I can discussit later" Jason said to "Cool" josh. " Better eat something" he told him.

" Well, one of my favorite freinds is sitting next to me" Jason told Sky.
"So let's eat" Jason said to Sky.
" Oh, my other favorite friend does not ask me if i have eaten? Jason teased Alex. " So what are you going to eat?" Jason asked her.

"Watch out for this one "Cool" Josh?" Jason teased Lexi and Josh. " She could be dangerous" Jason laughed. " I really like Lexi, she is a good friend and she will be a good freind for you too" Jason said to Josh. "Am I right?" Jason asked Lexi.

Lexi smiled at the boy as his owl tried to peck him to death and she said, "Maybe give her a treat and she'll be okay." She shrugged her shoulders and took the empty seat next to the boy and started getting some food.

When she heard Jason's voice she looked up and beamed at the boy. "I am not dangerous... well I may be, but it's never on purpose. I swear it." she said in an innocent tone and gave him a playful wink. She then said, "I'll be a good friend to anyone that's good to me. That's Jason and I are such good friends, he's a great one back"

After taking a sip of pumpkin juice Alexandra turned to the boy and said, "By the way, Iam Alexandra Kennedy. And you are?"

''You'r right'' Josh adressed to Jason as his eyes followed the owl who was now flying around above the Gryffindor table. Then he looked at Jason ''Better eat something like...'' searching on the table he snacthed a sandwich ''...a sandwich. That'd make me feel better''. As he took a huge bite from it he glanced at the other side at the girl by his side. Laughing over Jason's words that she might be dangerous the Gryffindor boy laughed and replied ''That makes her much more interesting then''

The owl flew close to her owner again making his unkempt hair worse than its previous state which was again ignored by him when the girl spoke ''Nope, i don't think it might work. She is trying to force me to read the letter she brought. I don't know what kind of an order she got from mom to be that insistant.''. He smirked at the girl ''You may be dangerous hmm interesting. Very interesting.'' he whistled for no reason then went on ''Nice to know ya Alexandra, beautiful name but a little bit long'' *laugh* ''And i'm Joshua Carter master of anything that a humanbeing can do''

Alexandra looked on and laughed as the owl continued to harrass her owner. She then cocked her head to one side and said, "I am only interesting now that you think I'm dangerous. That's not very nice." She laughed a little and then continued, "Yeah I know my name is a mouth full and I was pretty set on not accepting a variation of it but since it seems to be so difficult, just call me Alexa." She then looked to Jason and said, "You too bud."

"Master of all things you say. Well that makes you pretty interesting." she said with a little grin.

''Well i'm not the kind of guy who had owned the idea of 'girls are touchy so one should have to treat them delicately'. What a nonsense!'' He laughed. This remembered him again the guy Ryan who was fussing about something like that to the people around him at the last time Josh saw him. And sure that letter had something about that annoyingly 'i'm great' idealised man. ''Anyway, Alexa is nice too. I might mistake it for Alex time by time though. You have to bear that''. When she commented on his being the master of all he grinned, too ''Yep, nearly all. This means i kick butt which is among my hobbies''

Alexa winced when he said he may call her Alex. Shudder. "Um, I'd rather not be called Alex, if you can handle that. I am not a boy, therefore I prefer not to be called Alex." she said firmly, yet sweetly. "Well, you have one thing right, not all girls are delicate. I have mananged to put a boy in the hospital wing twice now, so I'd say delicate is not a word to describe me" she pronounced with a laugh.

Cocking her head to one side she then called the boy out, "You may a bit full of yourself too, don't you think." she asked.

''You do not want to be called Alex because you are not a boy..hmm'' Josh repeated with a smile ''I think that makes sense. Okay then i promise i'll be careful with that. Don't worry''. 'Af if she has to worry about this' he thought. He took another huge bite from his sandwich as she spoke and started to chew it fast but stopped to take what she said in and a large piece of meat with bread dropped on his lap from his meal. ''Wow! This is cool'' he said happily without paying attention to the food on his lap ''Putting a boy in Hospital Wing twice. Nice score. I liked it'' he winked at her then replied her next words ''Full of myself? Me? Never.''

Zeke sat down at the table. He smiled. "Hello, Gryffindor, nice to see you all on this fine day!"

Alexa couldn't help but laugh at the arrogant boy and shake her head. "Well, it's not as though I put him into the hospital wing on purpose, as I said it was an accident." she said again. The smile spread further across her face as he denied being full of himself. "Yeah, I am sure we all like to introdeuc ourselves as Master or Mistresses of everything in the world. Merlin me, you're not big headed at all." she said in a rather sarcastic tone.

Amber skipped into the Great Hall.Today was the bet day EVER! She had no idea why, but it just was. She sat down and looked around. None of her friends in her grade were there... but Zeke was there! "Hey Zeke! Nice to see you too! Whats up?"

" You are a great friend" Jason told Alexandra. " You are never dangerous, just sneaky" jason laughed. Jason started to eat his hamburger.

Josh, you are doing good" Jason told him. "Lexi and I will make sure nothing happens to you" Jason said to "Cool Josh" "Right?" Jason asked Alexandra

Alexandra turned to Jason and laughed, saying, "Yeah, sneaky is a good word, I suppose. But I musn't be too sneaky when you always seem to see me doing my sneaky stuff." She let out a tinkling little laugh and took another sip from her pumpkin juice. Picking at the food on her plate she began to day dream a bit until Jason called her Lexi.... "I prefer to not be called Lexi, if yu don't mind. Lorcan calls me that, but only him. If you don't fell like saying my entire name you all can call me Alexa, if you'd like." she said kindly, yet firmly.

"Sorry, I will not call you that certain name again" Jason assured Alexandra."Alexandra, I really do not think you are sneaky, I just love to tease you" Jason told her. " I am not sure, but I may have something important to talk to you about a problem that confused me" Jason said to Alexandra.

Alexandra smiled at him and said, "What is it Jason? YOu can talk to me. And I said Alexa is fine, just not Alex or Lexi, okay." She tilted her head to the side and waited for him to fire away with the question.

"Well, remember my girlfreind Victoria that you met at my castle?" Jason asked Alexandra. "She said she was in so much in love with me" Jason told Alexandra." I saw Victoria at the lake and she was basically telling one of her freinds that she really loved her old boyfreind Kavin and not me" Jason looks at Alexandra quizzically. " I am completely confused" he rold her.
