"Of course." Carter said. "I'll get them." he said getting up. He returned a few minutes later holding two cheesecakes. "Here you go." he said handing her one of them.

"Thanks," Ella said kindly. "Tiring Quidditch practice, that was,
" she breathed, still a bit energetic (and tired) from the match. "You played so well. Sorry about your arm!"

Carter laughed. "Don't worry about it. I'm a man. I barely felt it." he joked sticking out his chest and posing a superman-like pose.

Ella laughed harder than she ever had before. Tears were nearly falling out of the corner of her eye. It was that funny.

In between her laughs, she managed, "Attractive!"

Did she mean it?

Carter started laughing hard too. "Thanks. I've been working on that since... well... I was 5."

"Have you?" Ella asked, still laughing. Oh boy. She hadn't laughed that much since Hunter had done his impression of Captain Underpants. Ella laughed harder still. It was like she'd never shut up.

Carter laughed hard too. It was contagious. "It... really... wasn't... THAT... funny... Ella..." he barely got out between laughs.

"Cheeaa, it was.." Ella managed, finally being content enough to finish off her butterbeer. But the last sip.. she saw the image of Carter superman and spit out the butterbeer in laughter again.

Shoosh yeah. It was hilarious. Imagining him in the whole underwear outfit and everything.

Carter had just calmed down when Ella sprayed drink everywhere. And thus the laughing continued, harder than before. Carter was laughing so hard he nearly cried.

They were both laughing for no particular reason. Nothing was really that funny. But his laugh was making her laugh, and Ella put her foot down. Yet didn't stop laughing.

"What is this?" she asked him with a lot of effort. Laughing over a superman pose. Still laughing. Oh boy.. her butterbeer had spilled all over her robes. Ick.

"I'll be right back!" Ella called to Carter, giggling and heading toward the girls' bathroom.

Inside, Ella tried, "Accio Dress!" And it worked. Yet it was a dress that she had never seen before in her life. She tried again. "Accio Ella's Yellow Sundress!"

...aaand that didn't work either. Not like she had expected it to.

So she put her mind in concentration of that pretty little yellow flowery sunny wittle dress and said, "Accio Snudress!"

AND IT WORKED! YESS!

So she came out in her outfit, happy that she had done a successful spell for once. She had stuffed her butterbeer-ed dress into her bag for later.

"Back." she said to Carter. All that trouble over a dress. Wow.

Nate was nervous about meeting Ella. He had asked her to come threw note so he wasn't postive she got it. He got a quiet table for two in the corner by a window. He was wearing his nicest clothes. Shiny shoes, button down white shirt with the top two buttons undone. He was wearing tight skinny jeans in black. He hoped Ella looked nice too.

Ella arrived inside the cozy shop happily. "Sorry I'm late.. you look very nice." she smiled, looking down at her own quickly put together outfit. She gave him a small kiss, then took a seat across from Nate.

"Thanks! So have you told your parents about us?" he said getting straight to the point. He blushed when she kissed him but he always did.

"My parents? Actually, no.. I haven't got a chance to.. I'll owl them tonight, I haven't in a while. Why?" Ella asked. She had completely forgotten about letting her parents know that she was going out with someone.. she wondered what their reaction would be. Well, there wasn't going to be any Howlers, for sure, but she hoped they would take it contently.

"I haven't told my parents either. They don't want me to date anybody outside of my house. That's why I didn't hesitate to ask Kylie but was on the fence about asking you. I gave Kylie my mom's braclet because she told me too. But you I bought a ring so my parents wouldn't find out. I really care about you and I don't want my parents to get in the way." he said holding her hand.

Ella frowned. "If I'm a problem.." she started slowly, then trailing off. What was she supposed to say? You better stop dating me? Let's date in secret..?

She would hate to seperate from him.. it had been such a fun year ever since he was part of it. Should she give back the ring?

"Do you want your ring back?" she asked softly, voice breaking. Her hand was limp and lifeless in his.

"Oh! Ella. No! I was just saying that my parents are jerks! I want us to stay together. I want us to be like...like...Romeo and Juliet! We date in secret! Or something like that. Just so I can warm up my parents to the idea." he was shocked that she got that from what he had said. He thought it would bring them closer. He wanted to be with her for a long time.

"Unless you want to break up...I don't want to but if you don't want drama then I guess..." he trailed off into his thoughts of life without Ella by his side.

"You look great." Carter said when she returned. "I like that dress." He then smirked about the whole 'superman pose' thing. "You know, it wasn't really that funny." Not that he minded that she just laughed for almost 20 minutes straight over it.

"Romeo and Juliet.." Ella said thoughtfully. Suddenly, the songs Stop the World and Love Story were playing in her head. She grinned...
..then frowned and looked him straight in the eye. "No.. definitely not. So I owled them, and they said that it was completely fine as long as I kept, you know, 'within boundaries'.." she blushed, then continued, "Anyway. They said that you seemed like a very sweet guy, and they'd love to meet you sometime. My parents have nothing against blood, if that's what you're thinking."

"Thanks," Ella blushed, taking a seat across from him again. Hastening to add, Ella said, "You look nice, too."

Anywayzz.

"That's true. Something just.. cracked me up about it." Ella smiled, then giggled again. Aaaand again. Oh boy. She covered her mouth and looked away from him, feeling like a little kid, yet finally getting her mouth shut. She couldn't even think about this memory without laughing.

"I would love to meet your parents! Ella, that would be great. Maybe your parents can convince mine not to be so stupid. I wasn't thinking that at all." he said glad she didn't want to break up. He rubbed her hand with his thumb. He wanted to give her goosebumps agian because her face lit up whenever she did.

Carter tried not to laugh. "Okay, okay. We really need a topic change... how about... umm... pizza?" he said. He then paused for a second and began laughing again. "Wow, I'm really bad at this change of topic thing."

"This girl is," Fyo insisted. "She loves unicorns! She told me a while ago. In fact, we actually had two butterbeers together, can you believe it? I ... I think I might be in love with her!" He said, rather dramatically. "Oh Butterfly, I think I'm in love with that girl, I really am."

Bwaha, BWAHA!

"I think so," Fyo said, when she asked if there were any left. He half-turned to peck her on the cheek, and then stepped into Madame Puddifoot's. "Now tell me ... Do you like that table by the corner?"

It seemed like a nice one.

She was having fun with this. Really. Kept giggling all the way, she blushed when he said he was in love with her. A fine thead of lightning pleasure ran through her body when she heard those amazing words. He was in love with her. Eventhough she knew that very well already, still it was thrilling to hear from his mouth again and again. Alice blushed, "OH..Fyo.." she stopped walking and hiding herself behind him. Shyness.

"You know this that that girl too in love with you, uncontionally" her voice was soft which was coming from behind him.

And to add a flavour to the sweetness of the day, he gave her a peck on her cheek. OH..God! How much her lil and tender heart can take?!! Silly. "Umm..corner seat, yes, as usual" she giggled as walking inside with him.

Awww. Fyo turned round, and wrapped Lissy in a hug. A big, bear-like hug. "I love you," he said softly. "Really love you."



Corner seat it was, then. Fyo pulled up a chair for her, then sat down and dumped their array of sweets on the table. "We could have lunch," he said but, to be honest, he did not feel like it. They had bought so many sweets, it would be a wonder if they could finish those, in the first place!

But this was her day, and the choice would, of course, be hers. He tipped his chair back, and gave her a warm smile. Mmm.

As he hugged her with a big bear hug, She nodded, "Mmm..yes, I know." her voice muffled into his shirt as her face was burried onto his chest for a minute.

She smiled and admiring his another very very royal gentlemanish gesture as he pulled a chair for her. He was perfect in everything. From studies to manners. Oh, she beamed openly at the thought of being his girlfriend. How Sweet!!

As sitting on the chair, she smiled and looking back and forth at their heap of chocolates and his face. "I ..dont..feel hungry, actually" she said, kept looking at his calm and lovely face.
