"So you're worried because she didn't hear you use magic? If I was you I wouldn't waste my time even thinking about her. She has nothing to hold over you." Marie sat there thinking about Lorcan for a minute and why he wasn't talking to Kay now, then it hit her. "Maybe Lorcan isn't talking to you right now because of Alexandra. I bet that was her plan all along, get him to turn against you so she could have him to herself." Marie knew that was a stretch but maybe it would make Kay think Alexandra wasn't out to get her in trouble. "'Wait a minute, in class he said he was giong to meet you after dinner, maybe he had something to do and didn't have time to chat after class." Marie took a drink of her butterbeer and just sat there for a minute trying to think what she should say now. 'Who knew life could be so complicated for eleven year olds' she thought to herself. "I don't think you should talk to Alexandra about this anymore. Just let it go and she will forget why she was even mad to begin with. As for Lorcan, I would just wait and see if he talks to you after dinner. If he doesn't then he wasn't a good friend to begin with. If he does I definately wouldn't bring her up. Let him start the conversation about her if he wants to." 'Now I know why I keep to myself most of the time, I don't need anyone causing problems for me, I can cause enough problems for myself' Marie thought.

"Well you may be right. I don't know. I really do think that Lorcan is done with me and after I had thought I had made a really good friend." kay said sadly. "You want to get out of here?" Kay asked Marie. she finish off her second butterbeer and remember she had a whole lot of pictures to take.

"Sure, lets go. I bet we can find all kinds of things to take pictures of before it gets dark. Where you want to start?" Marie got up and put her jacket on, she was glad that conversation was over, she was ready to go have some fun.

"Well, we could go to the great ahll and get pictures of people eating." Kay said laughing a little. "That would be funny." She said standing up to go. "Besides I think I need to eat after all that butterbeer,"

"Ok and maybe we can get some pictures on our way back too." Marie said as they were walking out of the Three Broomsticks. She was starting to get hungry so she was happy they were heading back to Hogwarts.

" Glad you meet my girlfreind Victoria" Jason said to Sky. He smiled at her. Sky is very friendly. " Nice seeing you, too" Jason told Sky. " This being together is fun" Jason told everyone at the table.

Tammy giggled. "OOOH. Thats harsh. You wouldn't let me do it?" She frowned dramatically and cocked her head to the left. "We should get a move on if you're tired Princess.." She grinned and shrgged. "Couple of weeks. Keep an eye on the bulliten board."

" I dont have a job description. I dont have a job."

"We SO gotta work together," Ella grinned, elbowing him in the ribs ever so slightly.

"My mom works in St. Mungo's; dad works with her sometimes. At other times, dad works at the Ministry. You?"

Warren didnt pay much attention to the young girl. He still stood frozen looking down at the picture. The image was reflecting, the thing behind his dead brother was... a ghostly image. He tried to make out who and what it was but he couldn't. ''G...G...GHostt!'' he finally said. He turned around to see a girl looking at him asking if he was ok. ''G..G..Ghost!'' he repeated himself, it seemed to be all he could say.

"You want to give me a heart attack?" He gave her a look of fake hurt. But that was forgotten with her next comment. "Yes, I wanna sleep until you do your study meeting." He dropped his head on the table and closed his eyes.

"I thought that being a best friend was a job."

Warren screamed GHOST as loud as he could. He ran out the room in fear. He accidently dropped the picture of his brother, it landed in Torins pocket.

"Oh, I'm not sure exactly how my parents get paid, but we travel a lot and help out people. I once taught someone how to read." Carter said. He had gone on many trips with his family to visit and help people that weren't as fortunate as him. It was an interesting lifestyle now that he thought of it, but very much liked helping others. He laughed as Ella elbowed him. That would be so much fun! "Have you been to any of the other stores around here? I always feel like we're here for not enough time and I've only ever been here and Honeydukes."

Tammy giggled, and ruffled at his hair once more. "AWH, Princess. Come on, lets get back to the castle yeah? You might wake up a bit mororreeeeee." She sang, standing up a little bit, and pulling at his hand.

"AHA, smart princess."

"Gawssh, you seriously love to help people and do stuff like that right?" Ella smiled, "I wish I could. The closest I get is helping out people in Mungo's. And you're the healer and everything.. OH!"

Ella finally put the pieces together, then a moment after, felt stupid. So this is why he was a healer, because.. aha.

"So this isn't some fake way to impress me, right? If it is all true, I truly am."

"Actually, I haven't. Wanna go check it out?" she asked. This would be a little more than mildly entertaining. Hunter had bragged at her with all the 'wonderful things he got from Hogsmeade.' HA! She'd show him now.

Carter laughed. "If my soccer skills the other day didn't impress you then I'm out of tricks." he said laughing. "Yeah, that would be fun. And great timing." he said taking his last sip of butterbeer and setting his glass down. "Where to first?" he asked her assuming she would know more about this than he would.

Giggling at Alice's silly comment, she nodded "We are" she agreed. Holding the bags up a little so she could see what was in them, Peyton nodded again. "Yeah..c'mon.. Three Broomsticks!" she grinned and led the way. Finally, they got there and Peyton led Alice to a table. SItting down, she put the bags under the table and looked up at Alice "What drink do you want?" she asked with a smile, getitng ready to get up again and go get the drinks.

Without hitting or bumbing into anyone, wow..miracle Alice safely enetered into the place by Peyton beside her. "Mmm..I can go with just butterbeer" she smiled as placed the bags on the corner of the table. She was worried about mice and cats of that dark bit creepy place.

Nodding at her reply, Peyton stood up and moved over to the counter. Ordering two butterbeers, she pulled out the money and placed it on the counter. Thanking the person behind the counter, she took the butterbeers and walked back over to Alice. Handing her one of the two drinks in her hand, she smiled warmly at her "Alright?"

Watching Peyton go and and get them butterbeers, Alice rested her elbows on the table and looked around the less crowded place. Seemed everyone was engaged with some sort of serious talks. She shrugged and focussing on her new friend again. She was nice and friendly, ofcourse beautiful too. "Thanks, Peyton" she smiled at her when she got back and handed over her drink. "How much?" her hand slipped into her robes pocket automatically, innocently.

"No problem" Peyton smiled warmly at Alice. "Don't be silly" she waved her hand dismissively "I don't want your money for a silly drink" she shook her head. Looking around, she noticed people looked either sad, or serious. Glancing back at Alice, she giggled softly "Seems like everyone's either sad or busy... It's boring.. isn't it?" she sipped some of her drink and glanced around again, shaking her head disbelievingly.

Alice grinned sheepishly. What she had done? Really silly. "I'm..sorrehh" she said shyly, cursing herself inwardly. "It's been a habbit to pay for everything..." she giggled and took a sip of her drink happily. It was a much needed one after a long walk, shopping and most importantly a long chat. "Mmm..yes, seems so." She leaned forward so that she could whisper, "Wanna play around these dolls?" her eyes shone, mischievous.

"Mhmm" Peyton shook her head "Forget about it" she smiled at Alice's shyness. Nodding at her explanation, she sipped some more of her drink "Mmm.. I've noticed" she nodded again and then giggled as Alice whispered "Yeah.. c'mon.. let's liven this place up!" she grinned, agreeing.

He still had his head on the table. "But I'm too tired to get up right now." He wasn't sure that she had even made out what he had said though; having his head against a table resulted in mumbling.

"Why yes, I am a smart Princess."

K heard the boy she asked for help say, Ghost! "Ghost where!" K asked with a scared look on her face "Okay sit down I help you do you need some water or something" K asked the boy again. "I'm K by the way.'

K then noticed the boy ran for it. I hope he's going to be okay as she went to her table, "If you need someone come back at sit with us!" she yelled outside watching the boy run. THen she returned to the table with Jason and them. "Hey someone in my house just saw a ghost."

"UPPPP.UPPPP.UPPPPP.UPPPPP.UPPP." Tammy giggled, and pulled at his hand. "Torin, dont make me cry and get attention." She grinned, and tugged again.

"You are, now up."
