Ella laughed. She might've put on a couple pounds just with cheesecake. Thank God she had Quidditch. Thinking about it, she asked, "You going to the Quidditch World Cup this summer?"

Carter smiled. "Need you even ask? I wouldn't miss this." he said. "I'm excited. Are you going?"

"Pssh.. duh!" Ella laughed. Wouldn't miss it for the world.

Carter laughed. "Well, I guess that's one thing to look forward to this summer." he said excitedly. "Maybe we'll run into each other there?"

''Live next to your grandmom? No idea. And i hope not'' Hopefully there were no lonely old women living around his home. It was clear from her expression that she did not like it. Ha ha. Great. Then maybe she could stop bothering them. But no, she was not going to and...he halted and stared blankly from Destiny to Rose, from Rose to Destiny. How could she do that? There was no way anyone could make a fool of him. So he raised his eyebrows at her ''I said dating or not for the cheating thing you said and did not bother to explain.'' he did a serious nod and went on ''Then if you are wise enough to outsmart me and to tell if i lie than you do not need any answer to any question. You can tell it, can not you?''

Good, Josh didn't live near her grandmother. No chance of him sneaking a peek at her grandmums undies. Which would be really weird, but hey, Josh mentioned that. Did he just raise his eyebrows at Destiny? 'Buuuut, you brought up the dating. I only mentioned cheating. Annnnd I was talking about cheating to get housepoints. Soooo..' Hmm, did Josh seem annoyed or something? Probably, but this was all for fun.

Destiny folded her arms, 'How can I tell if you are lying if you never actually answered my question?' If Josh was just doing this to confuse Destiny, he was going to have to try a lot harder than that. And with that, she stuck her tongue out at him, which she has been doing a lot to him lately. 'And if you don't answer, I'll just have to take it as a yes, you are dating.'

''Seriously?'' Josh said when she said that she was going to take it as a 'yes' if he was not going to say anything. She was cunning. So could she be the one who had been sneaking on them and telling everything to Rose's parents? But she was a close friend of Rose and close friends would not betray each other. She is probably only enjoying herself by teasing them. ''How can i know why you are so insisting on having an answer for that question if you do not give out any explanation?'' he asked mimicking her tone and attitude ''And if you don't anser, I'll just have to take it as 'I wanted to know if you are not seeing anyone so i can start dating you myself'''
After that sentence he glanced at Rose some hoping she would not overreact this. A escape was an escape anyway and he tried his chance..

Evelyn was standing there, arms crossed, just listening to the two of them argue speak. It was quite amusing really how Destiny was so insistent in finding out and yet Josh was trying to evade the whole thing. Aw, he is so sweet for doing that for her. Snapping out of her thoughts before she did give anything away for the moment, since it was still fun making Destiny frustrated, Evelyn glanced up to the staff table, the last thing Josh said completely going through one ear and right out the other.

Seemed like a lot more of the Professors finally joined the feast, but still no sign of the Headmaster. 'Probably will make some grand entrance. That would be neat...and a little weird.' she thought, turning in a circle and having to take a double glance at the Slytherin table. Huh, Professor Lupa was there. 'Wonder what she is saying. Aw well, I'll just ask Marilyn later.' She did spot the other Slytherin girl there, and she actually looked somewhat...sad? Mad? Angry? Happy? No not happy. Definitely not happy. 'Ask her about that later too.'

'Very serious.' Destiny tried to put on a serious face, but almost let a laugh pass. She covered that up with a cough. Serious face again. Good.

And Destiny was juuuust about to tell him why she wanted to know. But Josh said something that made her serious face turn into a very shocked face.

Blink.
Blink.

What did he say?

Well that was not the answer Destiny expected. And at that moment, Destiny realized that Josh's head is even bigger up close. Yep.

Why was it so hard just to answer a simple yes or no question? 'How about this, you answer my question first and then I'll answer your question. And my answer will not have anything to do with that last comment you said.'

And why isn't Evelyn helping Destiny over here, unless..she is in on this whole thing!

'Ha, ha, ha, ha!' Now that he could manage to put Destiny and himself in equal circumstances. There could be still a chance that he could have the victory over this, for Rose, of course. ''I am serious too. What a coincidence! '' he said cheerfully winking at Rose whose attention seemed to be on the Slytherin table. Was she bored? Did he neglect her too much losing himself with challenging Destiny? But Destiny's surprised expression was something fun to see. Then she wanted to go with a deal. ''Hmmm...'' Josh thought over the idea for quite a short period of time and nodded ''Okay.'' *ehem* ''I can tell that i like her but she said, when i mentioned this to her, that she, herself, deserved more than an aimless freak like me which is true and i told her that i was okay with it.'' another good making up from him again. Josh stuff... ''And your turn''

Antonio walked to the front of the Gryffindor Table. "Everyone, could I have your attention for just a moment, please," he said loudly. "I would just like to congratulate each and every one of you for your outstanding efforts this year. I am so proud of every one of you, and you all deserve a huge congratulations for having won the House Cup this year. I knew you all could do it!"

He paused for a moment. "All of you did great, but there are five of you I want to call up in particular. Could I please have the top five point earners come up for special recognition? That would be LouAnn Purple, Fyodor Balouch, Jason Potter Weasley, Jack Fritzera and Rafe Lycaon. Thank you. You all deserve the praise, but these five in particular I want to thank."

Will Destiny ever get a serious answer out of this boy? She guessed correctly. She would never get an answer. He was being stubborn, but Destiny could be even stubborn-er, if thats a word. Doesn't matter. Destiny totally believed what Josh had said..NOT. She told him she would know if he was lying..

Destiny acted like she believed him, throwing a few nods in here and there. 'Being the master of everything he should've been able to come up with something better than that..' Destiny quietly laughed at her own thought. Now she needed to come up with an answer. Putting on another serious face, Destiny turned to Evelyn and then back to Josh, 'Okay. I wanted to know because..' stalling is part of her act' 'I am a writer for the Daily Prophet, and I needed something to write about, so I figured student relationships would be perfect. And who better to write it about then my best friends, right?'

Evelyn raised a brow at Josh's answer. Seriously couldn't think of anything else to say? Sighing and shaking her head, she closed her eyes and rubbed her face, moving any stray hairs away from her face, and taking a deep breathe. Hearing someone else speak though, Evelyn opened her eyes to find Professor Dumont close by, talking about how Gryffindor won the House Cup. 'They are so lucky...bet they cheated.' she thought, scowling once again. Of course they probably didn't, but just the thought made her feel somewhat better.

Now Destiny's answer though, that took her off guard and made her laugh. "Wow Destiny. I never would have thought you to be a writer. You just don't seem like that type of person really." she said in between laughs, shaking her head.

Josh, a BMOC is a big man on campus" Jason told him. " Now. I really love your sweets" Jason said to Josh. " You will not be bored if you come to my castle this summer" Jason informed Josh.
"Sure, I guess I can come up to the front of the table" Jason told Professor DuMont. Jason felt he was in excellent company with LouAnn Purple, Fyodor Balouch, Jack Frizzera and Rafe Lycoon.Jason will miss everyone in the top five.

Destiny turned to Evelyn. Good thing she started to talk. It helped her not to burst out into laughter. And serious face once again, she was actually getting good at this. 'Yes Evelyn. I am most certainly a writer. I keep it hidden so people don't know I'm secretly writing about them.' Because Destiny likes to write, oh and the Daily Prophet would hire a twelve year old.. Right.

Oh, speech time. Destiny gestured for Evelyn to sit down. It was Kazi talking, and well, he scared her. She half listened to what he was saying, not really caring what he had to say. But with the mention of the Headmaster, Destiny's ears perked up. 'Gone? But why?' She asked mostly to herself. So who was taking over? 'Kazi? Headmaster Kazi!? Seriously?' All of a sudden Destiny was starting to fear next term. Crazy Kazi in charge of the school? This was, well crazy.

But Kazi wasn't finished yet, was he? Nope. 'Did he just fire Truebridge?' Destiny wasn't hungry anymore.

Evelyn shook her head, not believing Destiny one bit even though she had a 'serious' expression on. 'Pfft, writing for the Daily Profit. They wouldn't hire someone that young...' Smiling, she sat down next to Destiny, pushing whoever sat next to her away so she had room. No one can be in Evelyn's breathing space...except the people that she accepts.

Listening to Professor Kazi's speech, already bored by the first minute, she leaned her elbow on the table and propped her head on her hand, closing her eyes. Ugh, Gryffindor won the house cup. Gah...Gryffindors...and Hufflepuffs! Pssh. Slytherin totally should have won both of those cups. Aw well, maybe next term. Definitely. The Professor did grab her attention though when he mentioned the Headmaster was gone. What? Where did he go? Opening her eyes in surprise, she stared up at Kazi as if he had two heads. Then who was the Headma- WHAT?! Kazi was Headmaster?! Well it could be worse she supposed. It could have been Lawson... or Bustuff. Whatever her name was. Speaking of Lawson though, who was teaching DADA now?

And Truebridge?! HE FIRED TRUEBRIDGE! If she had been drinking something, she would have most certainly choked. Evelyn sat frozen in her seat, disbelief written all over her face. He can't get rid of Truebridge. Sure he taught one of her least favorite subjects, but he was still cool...ish. Fire Bunstuff instead! Creepy Devils snare keeper... "I think he did." she finally responded to Destiny. Kazi didn't look like he was joking about it. This was becoming a nightmare. In fact, she didn't even feel like sitting at the Gryffindor table anymore...which was weird at the moment.

"Destiny, so glad I saw you before the end of school" Jason told her." Have fun at Hogwarts" Jason said to her. Jason hugged her and said "Good-bye, I am graduating" Jason told Destiny.

"Evelyn, glad I met you to just like Destiny" Jason told her. " I hope you do well here at Hogwarts" Jason said to Evelyn. Jason hugged Evelyn. " I am going to miss you, too because you know I am graduating" Jason told Evelyn.
"Wait a minute, Destiny and Evelyn come to my castle for the summer " Jason called out to them.

Destiny almost laughed as Evelyn pushed some students. If she wasn't so confused about the Kazi speech.. 'Who will teach History of Magic?' Wait, wasn't Borr a HOM professor like hundreds of years ago? Oh no. 'I don't think he should really be firing anyone. We don't even have an astronomy professor.' Destiny didn't want that crazy poo-skating man teaching her next term. And Borr..well let's not get started on him.

And then Defense Against the Dark Arts. Destiny kinda liked Lawson..even though she did serve detention with him. But he did make the class fun, and he did look snazzy with his cane.. And everyone knows snazzyness always adds likable points on people, in Destiny's brilliant mind anyway. She came out of her thoughts when she was being hugged,

'Oh Jason!' Destiny said as she hugged him back. 'I forgot you were a seventh year! And I'll definitely come to your castle.' Well Jason was one lucky duck, he wouldn't have to be here for the Kazi!Karaziness.

Evelyn barely acknowledged that someone had hugged her, she was too deep in thought on why Kazi was firing Truebridge. He didn't do anything bad did he? He was a good, no, he was a great teacher and a lot of people liked him. "Huh?" she muttered, her eyes still glued to the scene at the front staff table. "Oh yea of course." she said distractedly, nodding her head slightly towards Jason before she actually realized what she was agreeing to. "Wait, no I'm sorry. I can't come. My parents won't let me." she said in a guiltily tone, looking over at him. "Congrats on graduating though."

"Maybe Kazi is going to make Lawson teach History of Magic." she mumbled to Destiny, before a thought occured to her. "What if...what if Kazi is going to teach DADA!? And...and well who knows who will teach potions then." Everything was so confusing in her mind at the moment, she actually felt dizzy. Kazi teaching DADA? Now that was living a nightmare. He was bad enough in potions...

"When the real headmaster comes back, do you think he'll hire Professor Truebridge back if he is actually fired?" she mumbled to Destiny, not really wanting to talk too loud in case Kazi had like...super hearing or something that she didn't know about.

Lawson did not look like a History of Magic Professor. 'Or maybe Astronomy..' But what did Kazi mean by 'one more suited to his qualifications and his background'? What was Lawson before he was a Professor? Sometimes it might be good to be nosy, just in case things like this happen. 'Kazi teach DADA? I doubt that. It looks like one disarming spell will kill him.' He is too old of a man to be doing defensive spells, which might be an advantage to the students. Maybe some 'get rid of the Headmaster campaigns'? Hmmm..

The way Kazimight talked, it seemed like the real Headmaster was never coming back, 'Maybe, if he ever comes back.' But why would he leave and then come back? Something was going on here. 'You know, we should've let Tibi do whatever he wanted to Kazi..' But there was no way she would apologize to that boy, no way.

''Of course not me'' Josh said loudly which was followed by one of his usual laughters right after Professor Dumont came along congratulating the Gryffindor students and announcing the top five. Then he turned back to Destiny and gave her a cool stare ''Heard this? It is the proof that i have not cheated at anything!''. He could not help a grin when he heard her reply to the question why she was so insisting on knowing about the relationship between him and Rose. But he was going to pretend that he believed it therefore she was going to be forced to do the same. If it would go as he planned it, of course. ''Working for the Daily Prophet, ha? Cool! Am i a celebrity now?'' 'Hah!' He needed not a newspaper to be a celebrity but it looked like a good supporting question right now. Turning around he looked at Rose and gave her a cunning smile though he did not for how long he could handle this. Destiny was really hard to deal with and the Gryffindor boy was almost trying to compete cunnings with one of the members of the Slytherin house which were supposed to be famous with being cunning. Maybe Rose would help him a little.

Now, Jason, Jason...''What a big man on the campus? Wow!'' he said to the elder boy. It looked like he had a some new shoes to fill in and it was going to be sooo much fun. ''Thanks mate. I'll try to be one so'' *nod-nod* ''And i will surely pay a visit to your castle''. Looking up as the headmaster....no there was no headmaster...That was Prof Kazi...and he was the headmaster from now on?? The crazy potions dinosaur...Tyrannosaurus Rex yes he could be tyran. That nick name did fit him well and it really turned out to fit him well when he announced that he wanted Prof. Lawson not to teach DADA anymore and he fired Prof. Truebridge.... Yes, Kazi was a Tyrannosaurus Rex. Maybe History of Magic was not among Josh's favourite subjects but Truebridge seemed all okay. He was a good professor. At least he cared about the safety of his students unlike the mighty, ancient T-rex who was crazy enough to poison them.

Carter's head turned toward the front as the closing remarks were given by Prof. Kazimeriz. What was going on? Prof. Truebridge was fired? For what? Carter loved his classes. They were always much more fun than he thought history would ever be. And Professor Lawson was demoted? And the headmaster was gone? And then all of a sudden a fight broke out at the staff table. Healer Avalon quit. Maybe that would mean Healer Melita would be coming back!! "What in the world is going on?" he asked the others at the table.

And Josh still wasn't finished. This boy could keep up, thats for sure. Turning her attention away from the staff table, because it looked like everyone was just about to start hexing each other, Destiny looked at Josh. 'One would think with the size of your head you would be the top student in the whole school..' But of course Destiny didn't really mean that, after all, they were only joking around. Unless Josh was serious.. But Destiny has never known Josh to be a serious person, so it was all good. 'Yeah Josh, you are a celebrity.' And that was totally sarcastic. 'You know what, I don't want to know. Yep. I don't care.' Destiny was just glad Evelyn had to deal with the git boy, and not her.

Destiny shot a quick glance at the staff table to see if she had to duck under the table from flying curses anytime soon. And she turned just in time to see another staff member get sacked, the healer. 'He can't fire the healer..' Well obviously he could because he just did. And with that Destiny knew what she would be doing this summer: learning all the healing spell (and actually practicing them) because if that cookie monster nurse lady was coming back, Destiny wasn't going to visit her. Nope.

Evelyn would have laughed at Destiny's words if they had been in any other circumstance. She continued to sit shock still, staring at what was going on at the staff table. Seemed like the professors were about to break out into duel or something... Which she had to admit, would be amazing and quite interesting to watch. Actually her only thoughts now were on what it would look like to have four or five professors dueling at once out of anger. 'Soooo coooool!' she thought, completely unaware of Josh and Destiny speaking.

But, who in Merlin's beard was that lady? Was she the healer? Squinting her eyes and tilting her head so she could hear better, or try to at least, she tried to hear what some of the professors were saying but could only get a few muffled words until they actually did speak louder, like Professor Lupa for example. Kinda scary when angry. Had to make a mental note to never upset her. "Woah, woah, woah woah woah...Destiny." she shook her head at her friend. "Are you actually, serious?, that we should've let Tibi do whatever?" she whispered to her friend, staring at her like she just announced Borr was her long lost father before turning her voice into a low whisper. "This is no big deal. Just stay on Kazi's good side." Very good side. The BEST side if possible. His right hand man!...woman...whatever...

Her attention was diverted to the staff table again when the healer lady started arguing as well. 'She's not going to last lo-' her thoughts were cut off short when Kazi did in fact do just that. Another staff member short now. Not that Evelyn could really care for that one, she never knew the real Healer anyway, though she probably was better than the crazy cookie lady. "Well he just did." she replied to the Slytherin, glancing between her and Josh. Seemed like Kazi was just firing people left and right! Fire Bunstuff!*cough cough* 'I mean....oh no! Poor staff!'

Marilyn neared the table slowly, glancing between the Gryffindors and the Professors. She'd never seen the teachers so ununited before...expect for the Potion's Master, who probably wouldn't hold that particular title for much longer. Professor Kazi looked smug, yet annoyed...while most of the others just looked murderous. It was comforting to know that even the staff was plagued with drama.

Siting across from Evelyn, she couldn't help the broad smile stretching across her face. "So, is anyone else amused by all of this?" Running her hands through her hair, she nodded at Destiny and Josh.
