Nodding when Lor said that Raven was his age, he didn't know what else to do. Part of him, deep inside, was happy she'd remembered about his whole predicament thingy. Another part of him wondered if that made it worse.

When she hugged him, Adams heart soared. He hugged her back tightly, leaning his chin on her head as she spoke. This was nice. Even if it hadn't happened the way they'd have both liked. "I promise." he mumured into her hair, holding her to him tightly before kissing her forehead.

No one was stealing him from her, and no one was so much as touching Lori anymore. She was his bestfriend.

Lori giggled to herself and she closed her eyes as he hugged her back. She loved her best friend, muchly.

"I promise too, invade you were wondering..." She commented as she untucked her head from his chinand grinned up at him before sliding her arms back to her sides, reluctantly. "my flowers are wilting... Let's go back to the castle yeah? This has been kinda eventful. Enough for me to have an excuse to nap in the grounds.."

hehe.

So she took his hand and tugged at his arm as they went back to the castle; she obviously incredibly happy

If only Dylan could apparate. It would make his life a whole lot easier. Oh well he only had a year to go. He stumbled his way down to Hogsmeade. He was a tad uncoordinated at the moment. It couldn't be the brace thing, because he had been fine the last few days. It was the uneven ground. Totally.

He clambered his way up onto a bench. That way he could see Lawson coming, or Lawson could see him. Either way people could see people. And he was on a bench.

It had been aaaaages since he had been into Hogsmeade and he was totally looking forward to it. Actually the last time he had been here was when he and Alessia had shared cake at Puddifoots. Marcus chuckled softly at the memory, that had been fun.

He just hit the main street and started looking around for Dylan, he couldn't remember if they had specified a certain place to meet or not. As he continued to walk a figure standing on a bench caught his attention and Marcus grinned, Dylan Denver was a bloody show off.

Marcus waved at the boy and sauntered over to him, "Are you hoping to be seen by me? Or the lovely females of Hogwarts?"

Dylan was scouting out troublemakers, hot ladies and Lawson. He had his hand over his eyes, like they did in the movies. Everyone scouted with their hands over their eyes. It didn't make seeing any easier though. Odd. Then he caught a glimpse of a hand waving, at him. He peered closer, removing the hand. It was Lawson.

From his perch, he watched Lawson come closer. "Actually it was all for you. But I did see a few fine ladies out there." He smiled, as he clambered off the bench. "I reckon alot of ladies were looking at me. So it worked."

Marcus snorted as he watched Dylan climb down off the bench, "Spoken like a true egomaniac." He gave the boy a wink as he looked down the street, thinking which was the best place for a drink.

"So where do you want to go for this drink? And may I suggest that we don't go to Puddifoots." he was pretty sure that Dylan would get that it wouldn't be a good idea for two guys to go into the tea shop.

It wasn't manly.

Not at all.

"Puddifoots? I hear that is a girly tea shop," Dylan smirked, "Do you not want to go into a girly tea shop with me?" He chuckled, "Might I suggest something far more manly, like the Hogs Head." It sounded all manly and butch. Like boar hunting and stuff.

Manly things. Then again, Gaston from Beauty and the Beast hunted things and put them on his wall. And he broke out into song in the middle of it. Not a very manly thing to do.

Dylan and Marcus...

Very manly.

He gave Dylan a mock glare, "No I don't want to go into the tea shop. I only go in there with my wife."

Marcus had started to walked down the street and he grinned at Dylan's suggestion. "Now that is more like it. The Hogs Head. A very manly place indeed."

Yeah the drinks there would be hairs on your chest.

Mmmhmmm very manly.

Evelyn walked down Main Street alone, her head down and her hands shoved in the pockets of her green coat to keep them warm.

She hadn't been able to find anyone to come with. Everyone she asked was either too busy with homework or was doing something with friends their own age or in their own house. So Evelyn just trudged along, trying to enjoy the scenic village.

Evelyn, who finally walked into the street and tried to brush any other dirt off from her hands, pants, and jacket, plus trying to look as innocent as possibly and not that she just came out of a dark alley...stopped in her tracks before slowly looking behind her at Destiny. Was she serious? Destiny was full of serious today! "Destiny, really, stop joking around." she said, laughing and shaking her head, completely missing Destiny fail at a serious face. "You aren't fat. Far from it in fact. Kay is just...well Kay, and she's jealous." Because she and Destiny were just pure awesomeness.

Destiny saw something on the muggle box? Recently? Or before...Deciding not to press it any farther, Evelyn looked up at all the signs, trying to find the Hog's Head while listening to her friend. Muggles wore disguises? "Like, polyjuice potion, disguise?" She didn't know that muggles had that kind of knowledge. They were more tricky than she thought! Definitely had to watch her back around them. Crazy people...

"Well.." Looking up and around at the different places, dodging people again, Evelyn thought over what would happen if Bunz didn't hug either of them. "I guess then...the bets off since neither of us had won. Or we could just go on into next term." Either way, she was going to win! Because that's what she did best! Hold on..."Hey is, that place the Hog's Head?" she asked, pointing to a rather disturbing and dirty sign that matched the place behind it. Ew.

Crud. Destiny's serious face had failed yet again. 'Well according to Kay, you think I am.' she laughed. Even if Evelyn did think she was fat, why would she go and tell Kay of all people? Like that was believable. 'Too bad I didn't have a pie, I would have thrown it in her face too.' and then she thought about what she said, 'No, I lied. I wouldn't have did that.' Waste a perfectly good pie on her, no way! That would be worse than when Evelyn threw the pie in Josh's face. Poor pie..

'Seriously, you need to watch the muggle box.' It would be easier to show her that to explain it. 'Not polyjuice potion. Clothes. They wore clothes and when they went in a bush, they looked invisible.' Muggles should know that an invisibility cloak would be much easier. If only she could remember what it was called..'Camelflies..or something.'

What would be the best way to win a hug from the Bunz? Maybe Destiny could owl her brother and ask to send pink shoes too. Would that be cheating? Of course not! 'Okay, that sounds good.' They might have to chase her down until they graduate, but Destiny would win. No way would she be Evelyn's slave for two days! She was deep in thought of things she would get Evelyn to do when she became the slave when Evelyn mentioned the Hog's Head. Squinting through her glasses, she nodded. 'Well that is what the sign says.' It looked worse than that alley.

"Well Kay can can bite her tongue." she mumbled, staring up at the Hog's Head place. It was, really creepy if truth be told. And dirty. Smiling though at the mention of pie throwing, she couldn't remember if she apologized to Josh or not for smashing the pie in his face at the opening feast? Eh, well, it was a long time ago. He'd probably forgotten by now. Hopefully...

"WHAT!? There is no way I'm getting even in a fifty foot radius of one of those!" She said with wide eyes, backing away from Destiny. "And I know Josh said it didn't turn you into muggles, but still! You're still watching it aren't you!?" Ugh, why couldn't her friend see that the muggle box was nothing but bad news? But the Slytherin did mention the muggles turning invisible. When she was calm enough again, she started to speak in a more calm tone. "Muggles can turn invisible? So now they have invisibility cloaks too?" Kicking a rock on the ground, she started towards the door of the Hog's Head, mumbling to herself. "First polyjuice potion, and now invisibility cloaks. Why not just point a sign to Diagon Alley so they could get everything else."

Stopping just in front of the door, hearing Destiny say something about coomelflees or something, whatever those were, she looked up at the sign one more time just to make sure this was the right place. Well, it definitely was the Hog's Head. Literally. Hopefully it's body was just forgotten to be painted on the sign. Of course, she just had to pick the most disgusting place to go to, but it was also good. Then Kay and Rex, and whoever else was on the list, wouldn't come in. "C'mon." she mumbled to Destiny, opening the door and walking in.

"Ah, Professor Pilliwickle!" He exclaimed loudly. "Are you ready to do some glove shopping and paint the town orange?" Or was it pink? He hadn't used that phrase in a long-while.

With her coupon safely stowed away in her simple black bag Nancy slowly made her way down the Main Street of Hogsmeade. What exactly she was doing here, she had no idea. Alone in Hogsmeade, how pathetic was that?! Exactly. A lot. Guh.

Still, she had that free butterbeer-coupon and she really could do with some of that at the moment. The 16 year old dragged her feet into the direction of the slightly creepy Hog's Head, however, stopped way before reaching it. She stopped to look at something. No, rather to GLARE at something. Madame Puddifoot's. This pub really was so overrated.

Who went there anyways?!

Couples?

Pfft, boyfriends and love was so overrated as well. Who needed that? Exactly. Nobody.

Cesar left a handful of coins on the table before leaving trying to stuff his big head threw the door while at the same time a flock of birds are pecking at it. He used the finite incantatum spell to fix himself then began laughing so hard at the situation that he fell on the floor grasping his stomach. "wow. that was too fun." Was the only thing Cesar can manaqe through his laughter.

Becca stepped out of The Three Broomsticks, and was immediately greeted with a slap in the face from a big gust of wind. Oh boy, this was really happening. Becca cringed knowing her two friends were trying to rip eachother apart...Okay maybe that was a little more than they intended but, there would be a fight going down, and she wasn't sure she wanted to escort the two to the hospital wing. "OKay, if you guys are going to fight, it's gonna be a fair one, and you know exactly what that means!"

Enid snorted and fell into a fit of giggles as Cesar tried to get his big head through the door on his way out of The Three Broomsticks. She followed out after Becca and nearly tripped as they walked out into the Main Street - what the hell was on the floor?! She looked down only to find Cesar there, laughing his head off like a little kid. Completely amused by the sight, Enid couldn't help but laugh as well. It lasted a few moments, this joyful laugh of hers, before she finally calmed herself and caught her breath again. "C'mon, get up from there, Helsing. What will your girlfriends say?" she said, poking him on the side of the stomach with the tip of her foot as he continued laughing on the floor.

Cesar continued laughing till he felt Enid poking him telling him to get up. He stood up and wiped his eeys wet from joyfrul tears. "Lets go to honeydukes or something. Im hungry for sweets." said Cesar still giggling at random intervals.

Cesar began to walk and said "We should do that more often Banvard." He then proceeded to pat the girls on their backs a little more rough then what he meant as a nice gesture.

Becca smirked at Slicks and Cesar. They really could've had their own comedy show if they wanted one! "Okay, I think I can handle that... as long as neither of you go on a sugar high, we'll be good."

Becca nodded, as Cesar patted her back "Yes, very entertaining! It was a great show. Bravo and Brava! Encore, encore!!" Laughing she began to walk down the street to Honeydukes.

"Honestly? You just had about a dozen chocolate chip cookies," said Enid as Cesar suggested they go to Honeydukes. "C'mon, where's your sense of adventure, Cissy? A trip to Honeydukes, honestly? That's your idea of fun?" she asked, raising an eyebrow at him. "Besides, I think you've had more than enough sugar to last you the rest of the week."

It was then that the boy patted her back, telling her they should have duels more often and causing her to stumble, almost falling over from the sudden pressure on her back. "Ri--right, of course. Any time, Helsing. Dueling you is one activity you can count on me to never deny you."

"Aw c'mon, Becks, you can't honestly want a trip to Honeydukes, too?! I thought we were supposed to be accomplices!" she said with a pout, not at all excited about the idea of getting candy. She had just been there, after all.

"Aright, aright!" Becca said, "If we aren't going to Honeydukes, what are we going to do? I mean it's great talking but I want to physically doooooooo something." Then Becca added, "Why don't you suggest something then and we'll see if your accomplice likes the idea, and if Cesar also likes the idea, we'll do it."

Cesar bowed as if he just finished a show as Becca complimented their duel. "Thankyou, thankyou, Ill be here all night!" He then turned to Enid with a face of thought as Enid expressed she wanted a change of direction. "uummm... How about we go back to Hogwarts and go exploring the Forbidden Forest? Is that enough of an adventure? Or how about we all go to the laje and jump in?" Cesar suddenly saw how going to honeydukes wasn't really necessary?

"There you go!" said Enid with a grin. "The Forbidden Forest sounds great, though I think I'd rather leave that for nighttime, y'know, when it's scarier," she said with a bit of a smirk. She had gone exploring the forest plenty of times before, but never really got very far. Perhaps if Becca and Cesar accompanied her this time, they could go in deeper than any other Hogwarts student this term! "I guess for now the lake will do. Though what you said about the mermaids still grosses me out..." she mentioned, wrinkling her nose in disgust as she turned to look ahead at the people passing by. "What do you say, Becks? Maybe we'll get lucky and find some innocent first years to pick on while we're at it," she said with a smile, turning to her friend as if they were talking about going out to the fields and pick flowers.

"Mhm, definetly save the forest for later, that way we'll be more in a spooky mood, ya know?" Becca said. "Yeah, the lake sounds nice! I could go for a swim, though it looks to other people as if you too already have!" Becca pointed out, gesturing to their clothes that were now air drying from the duel. "If we're lucky enough! That'd be an amazing afternoon to an amazing day. I'm all for it."

Cesar smiled because for once Enid was pleased with Cesars idea. He turned to Becca and awaited her answer. "So how bout it Becks?"
