He was starting to feel a bit better just by talking to her. "You know, you're really starting to help me feel better. I will just wait and see... Though I still want to tell her to dump him." But he wouldn't because that was unfair and unlike him. He knew that she was happy, and he didn't want to ruin it for her. Because he cared more about her happiness than his own.

"Oh... hi Hayden and Ev", said Ginny with a bit of a sigh. "No I'm not waiting for anyone. I was just looking around for a bit", said Ginny. She thought that she had done terrible in the Quidditch Tryouts. Three Broomsticks, that would be awesome", said Ginny trying not to think of the tryouts.

"Well, come on then." Evelyn grabbed Ginny's hands and pulled her up off the seat. Linking arms with her two friends, she escorted them in the direction of The Three Broomsticks. She noticed that Ginny wasn't looking as happy as she usually did. "You okay, Gin? Is everything going alright with school?"

Luna walked down the street and saw Ginny standing there with some other girls. "Hey!" she yelled enthusiastically. She smiled widely and ran to them. "How did your Quidditch try-outs go? I couldn't come. I was ill," she said. "What were you guys planning to do?" she then asked.

Lorcan looked at her and frowned. "What's wrong? You seem so sad." He tentatively took her hand and squeezed it. "You can tell me." He smiled at her softly

"The Hog's Head? Is that not the dodgy one? Is this an adventure I smell brewing?" He got a wicked glint in his eye. He hoped that he could cheer her up a little.

Elisabeta wandered out of the school gates and into Hogsmeade she smiled to herself and looked about to decide where to go she saw Honeydukes and thought she would leave that to last because well she knew that she wouldnt be sending any sweets home because it would give away where she was to her parents

So this was the famous Hogmeade.

Tyler wandered the streets of it, hoping to find at least someone he knew. But Kitty wasn't going to be here since she was a late sleeper and too lazy. Lucy was probably still tired from try-outs. Cadence...well, the story sells itself to him. She was gonna be with Nate 24/7. Ty shrugged and continued walking. The cold weather was finally coming around.

Yay!

Not really noticing where he was going, Tyler bumped into someone. "Oh, my bad," he said and looked up. The girl looked older so he guessed she must've been probably a sixth or seventh year.

Elisabeta felt somebody bump into her and said "No problem" The boy was a Ravenclaw and looked about 4th or a 5th year and said "I'm Elisabeta but everyone calls me Lis for short" Elisabeta held out her hand for the boy to shake

Hands in tight jeans pockets, hood pulled up over his face and a wearing pout to rival that muggle Angelina Jolie's, Oliver wandered down the Hogsmeade Main Street. Miserable he felt. Miserable.

He kept his green eyes focused on the ground about a yard in front of him avoiding eye contact with the other students. He didn't know where he was going cos he'd never been here before.. so he was just wandering.. aimlessly.

Maybe he should go and get a new robe? Or, perhaps, not – clothes shopping seemed kinda depressing. He had that voucher in his pocket, so maybe he would head to the pub for a free Butterbeer. Where was this Hogshead anyway? He lifted his eyes and looked around. If he just kept going the way he was walking, he would come to it eventually. Probably.

"Alright, Lis," Tyler smiled and shook her hand. "I'm Tyler, but you can call me whatever nickname you can get from it," he laughed. most common nickname he had was Ty. But it was too plain for him. He wanted something more coool.

Elisabeta smiled and said "Nice to meet you Tyler and i will try to think of a good nickname, so what brings you to Hogsmeade today?" Elisabeta felt at home now that she had quite a few friends and was beginning to worry less about her parents tracking her down

"Cool," Ty laughed and put his hands into his pockets like always. "I'm a transfer student so I've never seen this place before," he explained. But he was sure glad to be at Hogwarts now. "So what about you?" he asked Lis.

Elisabeta smiled and said "Yeah i am a transfer student myself so i wanted to see Hogsmeade for myself after hearing so much about it" Elisabeta was glad that she wasnt the only transfer at Hogwarts

"Walk with me," Ty nudged his head and chuckled. So he wasn't the only transfer student here and wasn't alone in not visiting Hogsmeade. "So where did you transfer from?"

Elisabeta walked with Tyler and said "I just transferred from Drumstrang what about yourself Tyler" Elisabeta was glad that she wasnt worrying about her parents cause she would deal with them in her own time and her own special way

Lexi smiled a bit at Lorcan and said, "I don't really want to talk about it, Nems. It's silly anyway." She again pulled at her Gryffindor scarf and shifted her weight from left foot to right foot.

"Yes, the Hog's Head is a bit dodgy, but I think it would be fun. How about it Lorcan?" she said as she held out her hand for him to take so she could lead the way.

"I'm actually a transfer student from America," Tyler explained as he kicked a small pebble on the ground. "That school wasn't working out for me so my parents dropped me off here," he shook his head. Well they did. His parents stayed in America and Tyler now had to live with his aunt.

Elisabeta nodded and said "That is okay i suppose, i ran away from home so my parents don't even know im here they think im at Drumstrang for my last year"

Hogsmeade!

Tibi wandered down the street, not really taking much notice of where his feet were going, eyes glued to storefronts.

He hadn't made it down here last year and he wasn't quite sure why, but now! Last term, he'd barely set foot on the castle grounds. This year? Adventure into Hogsmeade!

He continued wandering, wondering where to go first, more than a little aware that he would have had a free butterbeer if not for Celandine going all crazy.

Grr.

"Ohhhhhhh," Tyler exclaimed. So his new friend was a runaway.

Coooooooooooool.

"Why'd you runaway? Couldn't stand being at home?" he asked.

Ahhh, it was a lush October day, and Jake strolled down the street of Hogsmeade, in suuuuuch a good mood. He was therefore VERY happy to seeeeee...

"Tibi!"

Speeding up, Jake ran over to his best friend, a grin on his face. "Hi!"

Jake had many a coupon to waste down here. Bwahahaha.

*coughchoke*

Ha.

Elisabeta nodded and said "Well my parents are both big users of the dark arts and basically they wanted me to go down the same road but i knew that i wasn't going to be the same as them so i stole money from them and came to Hogwarts to start a new life"

Tibi stopped in his tracks, hearing his name called down the street. Recognizing the voice, he smiled. His friend sounded.. happy.

Turning around, a grin spread across his face.

"Jake!" Bestest friends being happy bestest friends was so much better than bestest friends being mopey bestest friends last year.

"I've never been here before. Where should I go?!"

Finally catching up with the boy, Jake stood bent double, hands on his knees as he tried to catch his breath. Wow, all that physical activity in the summer that had made him fitter was starting to... well... not work. The boy looked up at the young Ravenclaw, taking just another second or two to compose himself.

When he stood up again, Jake stretched his back as though he'd just woken up, and glanced up and down the street.

"Honeydukes," the boy said instantly, eyes narrowing as he smelt the sweeeet scent of sugar. He'd be fine with sugar now. Yes? Yeah he totally WOULD. Because... because... because...

BECAUSE HE WANTED SOME.

"I wwwant sugars... I does I duhh-does I rrrreally DOES!"

O.O

Maybe he'd already had some.

"I hhhave cuhh-coupons ffffor... the quill puh-place, one of the ppppubs and the cuhh-clothes puh-puh-place."

Mmmmhm. Because teachers looooved Jake. Oh yes they did.

Tyler nodded as he listened to Lis. Dark Arts. Something Tyler almost did once. "Well, I'm glad you ran away from that. I don't think it would be too safe to go thought something like that," he said.
