Jack watched the pretty ribbon dance in the air and wind around Cosette’s hair. Yes, it was only a ribbon, but when Jack had chocolate on his system, everything seemed much more exciting than it actually was, resulting in him trying to grab the ribbon, but it moved too quickly and was already in Miss Soleil’s hair. Oh well. He’d get his own ribbon to play with, even if it would make him look like an over-excited kitten.

KITTENS! N’AWW. They were so cute. With their little paws and noses ... going off on a tangent again.

Back to the present, Jack smirked and eyed her pocket where the last piece of chocolate came from; he wondered if there was more and if she would give him some! She would be AMAZING if she did that. He looked back to Cosette. “You had to expect it darling.” That sentence would have sounded a lot more song-like if he had more chocolate. Thankfully he hadn’t had much and he was kind of hoping Cosette wouldn’t give him anymore.

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT!? Of course you want moooar!

No, you really don’t.

Though, during his argument he hadn’t realised that he was much closer to her now, her leg behind his and he suppressed the urge to giggle like a little girl. It worked, thankfully and a smirk remained on his face as opposed to a pathetic grin that would have taken its place if he had not stopped himself. And then the kisses on the lips and the cheeks came rather quickly, but he enjoyed them all the same. Hehehehehe; kisses. Jack leaned his palms on either side of her on the table. “If you mean step side to side, then yes, I can dance.” He was quite thankful that she wasn’t a champion, because what if he was her date? They’d have to dance FIRST! Noooo. Though, she hadn’t even said that he would be her date, but he wasn’t going to ask or anything. “But then again, isn’t there a traditional dance that everyone has to do?”

Again, with the NOOOOO.

“If that’s the case, I really look forward to that.” Jack said sarcastically.

Aiden frowned as he looked at Savannah. All this Dad drama had her in this state that he'd never quite seen her in before. "Maybe you should finish the letter soon.. when you're feeling up to it." He nodded along with her when she pointed out how her father had done nothing wrong. Nothing huge, that is. Aiden, too, had trouble figuring out why Mr. Conrad's punishment was so severe. Sav wouldn't exaggerate something this serious. "I guess life's just not fair that way, huh?"

Well, in that respect, the wizarding government was right. He did go against the law. Still... "I'm just wondering why they were so hard on him. Even if some muggles did find out about the wizarding world, well... that's what obliviators are for." They'd have those muggle minds obliviated before you could say 'Harry Potter.' "You can't change what he did, though.. it was his mistake. You've just got to deal." What an excellent adviser. "And of course you'll get over this - you're Savannah Conrad," he smiled. He typically refrained from stroking her ego only because the thing was so darn big in the first place, but now was an exception.

Finish the letter? Psh, yeah."i'm not finishing that letter anytime soon."Savvy said, a stubborn look on her face. This thing had quite literally ruined the poor girl, ruined her and ruined a bit of her ego. Okay, maybe not ruined but at least bruised it. She looked at Aiden, sighing. "do you know I have not boughten a pair of shoes in like...WEEKS?!?"Savannah said her green eyes wide. It was like a record for her. No Daddy pretty much meant no money which wasn't good for the family at all. Savvy nodded her head, not even looking at Aiden as he spoke. "It's not at all."First losing her the only boy she ever REALLY liked? Now her Dad? What was next, Kody?

"It's not that simple I guess."She said with a shrug. It was kind of hard to erase a community of people's memories, it was all over the news the lastest medical miracle crap Savannah knew nothing about."Loook...uhm.."She bit her lip, a thoughtful expression on her face."I don't want to talk about it anymore.."



Well that was a first. Savannah Conrad saying she didn't want ot talk about something.

Savvy looked down in her lap, her hands fidgetting. It quickly stopped when Aiden spoke, she listened carefully to his words. The frown on her face quickly turned into a smile, she eyed Aiden for a few moments. "I guess you are right, Aid."She said looking at him for a moment, her eyes wandering down to the scruff. She giggled, touching his face. "You gots SCRUFF!"She said,running her hand along his jawline. She stopped for a moment, frowning. Her hand was still on his face though, he wasn't going to be happy. He was mad at her, right? Right.

Adam walked into a classroom, it had nothing in it but some gaggline teenagers gossiping, as usual. He went inside, after taking a short peek, and took a seat ontop of the desks...Trying to look cool, but literally failing at it very bad.He looked around and saw many older students, he thought he didn't reconize any of them.

Cosette could sense there had to be something going on inside of him. Besides the excessive giggling and random strange facial features he was making. Rolling her eyes, she put on a small smile. She couldn't show him that she thought he was being downright.. mental. Her Maman had worked with mental people. It wasn't pretty.

"Then I shouldn't be giving you anymore, yes?" She ran a hand down and took out a small piece from her pocket. It was her last one she had. She quirked an eyebrow, eying him to make sure he didn't snatch it. "If I give you any more I have a feeling your Maman might just send me a Howler." She didn't know if she would, but from what Jack told her at Diagon Alley, she seems like a very testy woman. Hmm, sounded like someone she knew.

He was leaning in closer towards her, making her lean a little in more as well. A few inches from his, she smiled and ran her hands up, fixing his collar first before placing them around his neck. She needed to calm him down somehow. Leveling her eyes with his, she stared at him. "If you need any help with dancing," she smirked, a twinkle in her eyes. "I can always give you a.. private lesson." She winked, emphasizing on private.

Wait.. should she be trying to calm him down or excite him when he's on a sugar high?

Aiden shrugged. If she didn't want to finish the letter, then that was her decision and he could understand her reasoning for not doing so. She hadn't bought a pair of shoes in weeks? Sheesh. That was new. "Maybe this means you'll have to start wearing your converse ones a bit more," he remarked, lips upturning slightly. When she said how she wanted to quit talking about the subject altogether, he nodded. It was an uncomfortable topic and he was finding it difficult to give any advice that would actually help.

He suddenly felt her hand on his jaw, feeling the stubble on his face. "Yeah. My motivation levels have been so low that I didn't even shave." It didn't matter anyhow; it's not like he had to worry about whisker burn if he wasn't kissing Ella anymore..

Aiden figured her touch would be gone in a second, but when it wasn't, he looked back to Savannah, her hand still lingering on her jawline. He hesitated for a moment, thinking for a moment about what he was about to do. Eh. It was whatever now. Throwing caution to the wind, he placed his hand behind her neck and pulled her face to his and kissing her.

ZOMG.

Savannah chuckled, rolling her eyes playfully in the process. Typical Aiden thing to say and honestly she wasn't surprised. In any situation he could use to poke fun at her, he would poke fun at her. Was it annoying? Er, sometimes. She grew to not mind it though."I dunno Ai-Ai..."She said with a smirk rising on her face. Her hand was still on his jawline, feeling the scruff on her hands."You might have to do some convincing before THAT happens..."

motivation? Aha, he still must have been upset about THING. Savannah fought back an eye roll and the gagging. She didn't even comment on it, she just kind of looked at him with no expression."I like it in all honesty..."Savvy said with a shrug of her shoulders."You look hot, well...you always look hot but that's besides the point."Shrug.He was like the male Savvy.... physically.He was hot, always even though he didn't flaunt it off like she did. Savvy looked down at the ground and then back up at his face expecting to be scolded or something.......

O__________________________________________O

WHAT.WHAT?! Her FACE was being pulled and lips were on hers!? AIDEN'S lips. Before her mind could even really think ANYTHING her hands were in his hair, a habit she ALWAYS had while kissing Aiden or any other boys that had nice hair for that matter. Aiden had the best hair though, it was so shiiiiiiiiiny and soft.

YAY FOR FACE SUCKING!

Ohhhhh waiiiiiiiiit....Did this mean he liked her now? Did this mean he wanted another chance? Did that mean he was using Ella to make her jealous? OH GOODY! Savvy couldn't wait for Ella to hear the news about this but anyway, now was not time for thinking it was time for snogging Aiden Chevalier. And DAMN IT, she was going to make it the best snog of his whole life.

Aiden rolled his eyes at this. She voluntarily wore the shoes before, in public, so why did he suddenly have to convince her now? Besides, they weren't even gray anymore. They were all horribly sparkly and pink. "Heh. We'll see about that."

The right side of his mouth pulled up a bit. "I like it too, I think." The scruff. Maybe it was symbolic. This new stage he was coming into or something. Although, at the moment, he couldn't determine whether this stage was a good one or not.

And then he was kissing Savannah. Merlin's beard. He hadn't been in this situation since.. well, over a year. After a little while, he broke away and pulled back a bit. Meh.. maybe he should just keep kissing her just so that he wouldn't have to be faced with talking just yet. 'Causeee as of right now, Aiden had no idea what to say.

But, of course. Leave it to him to make light of everything.. "So... is your mood any better now?" He cocked his head to the side and lifted his eyebrows.

And then he pulled back, her hands were still in his hair. Her eyes were shut, a smile rising on the blonde's face. This was what she wanted, errr...kind of. She wanted to be able to show him off as her boyfriend as well but that was the NEXT step. She was pleased as of now of course, totally pleased. She just snogged the boy for crying out loud! Pfftttt...of course when she was kind of giving up hope it happened. Hehh. The blonde opened her eyes, flickering them at him. She pulled her hands out from his hair, smirking."I think you know the answer to that Aiden."She said her voice calm. On the inside she was flipping barns out of excitement.

"Did you enjoy yourself too....?"Savvy said while poking him in the cheek gently. He had to, it was a Savvy snog and those were the BEST snogs. It was just like common sense. Hehh. She looked back at the scruff, an amazed expression on her face. That was just so random and HAPPY.

Those feelings for being upset over Daddy? Yeah, they were gone.

Brielle needed as place to practise.
And she wasn't taking about her spells, those she knew inside and out.

Walking into the empty classroom, Brielle knew she had found the perfect place. With a swish of her wand, along the wall under the windows, a elegant French Oak, barre appeared. And with another flick the desks slide out of the way, and appearing on one of them was a grand looking gramophone.

Shrugging off her jacket, Brielle moved to the barre in her black leotard and white stocking. Rolling her shoulders she warmed herself up, stretching her long legs, and elegant arms.

It was Ballet Time!

Aiden smiled, waiting, watching for her to open her eyes. She seemed to be stretching the moment for as long as it'd last. Finally, he saw her eyelashes flutter open and he saw green eyes. "I suppose I do know the answer to that." It was fun kissing her, but he was also glad that it served as a distraction. Now there was no more dwelling on stupid, rubbish father issues. He still hadn't even told her what happened this past week..

At her next question he gave a curt laugh and rolled his eyes. "Of course. Why do you think I kissed you?," he smiled. He leaned his side against the wall and folded his arms. The seventh year did his best to not think about her, but it proved difficult; Ella was going to hate him.

Jack eyed her hand as it crept down back to her pocket and revealed some more chocolate. Even if she was using sugary goodness to achieve it, she sure was being seductive, but Jack had always known she had been good at it. He didn’t even know the answer to her question, because to be honest, he hated to sugar crash that happened afterwards; he would be spoilt, stuck up (more than usual) and downright rude, whereas right now, he’d probably be able to handle. The opposing argument was that he LOVED chocolate (already an established statement), and that overpowered a lot of logic and reason. Jack didn’t really know what a ‘maman’ was at first. Curse not knowing any French apart from counting from 1-5! But then kind of figured it out quite quickly that she meant his mother. Shudder. She was a witch ... excuse the pun. “Well I hope you know that my answer is going to be biased and totally against my health, darling.” He winked at her, eyeing the chocolate again.

Oh, she loved to play with him, didn’t she? And sometimes, Jack didn’t know how to make a good move because she was so good at it herself? He didn’t know how she did it, and she still seemed to make an impact even when he was on this mild sugar high of his. He raised his eyebrow at Cosette’s emphasis of ‘private’. “I think I’d appreciate and enjoy that very much.” HEHEHE. Private. No, no girly giggling this time. He was a sixth year Slytherin male, not a first year female Hufflepuff. Watching her lean closer again, mere inches away, he felt the need to kiss her again, but he couldn’t be the one to keep doing so. If he were to participate in this game, he must let her have her turn.

Savvy sat for a few moments, mouth hanging open. She was shocked, okay? In all honesty she had NOT expected this today, of course, she was expecting it sometime soon but not now in this old classroom. Couldn't they have picked some place more romantic and pretty? They were in a freakin' old classroom! dfhdgfhdgjg. Grumble. Whatever, Savvy was just glad it happened. She gulped for a moment, looking at him. "I thought you were mad at me, Aid?"Savannah said, poking him lightly again. She was always a touchy feely person, hehhh. "I mean, you know you usually dont snog people you kind of are mad at..."Smirk. Sav leaned back with a happy sigh. So what next? Do they keep snogging or soak in what happened? "Soo...uhhh....what now?"Sav said a confused look stretching across her face.

The confusion was still there as she thought of something, where had he been all of last week? She meant to ask but certain things made her not ask. Sav rested her hands in her lap, the confusion turning to curiosity."So, where were you last week, anyway?"

With a sad and disappointed expression on his face Joshua was wandering around the school in search of somewhere he could be alone. The Common Room was always full of his housemates, same goes for the dormitory and the rest of the class was crowded with...students. Where could he go? Mentally asking this question to himself, the fifteen year old boy stopped in the middle of the corridor and looked around.

Where?

Then his dark eyes spotted the door of that classroom which was never used by any professor. Yes, this could be the perfect place for him. So, the Gryffindor took a few steps towards the door and opened it, then he was about to step in yet the sight he saw inside made him halt right there.

The classroom was not empty. And once Josh could snap out of the trance, he smiled at the French girl and spoke ''Sorry, i did not know you were...'' what was she doing? He had no idea. ''Umm whatever.''

Huuhh? Aiden wondered what was going through the blonde's head when she suddenly looked like she tasted something sour. But the look disappeared as quickly as it came and he thought nothing further of it. He listened to her speak and turned to her. "Well.. would you have preferred I didn't kiss you?" Naw, he'd answer this question like a normal person. 'Cause he suddenly realized he was answering questions with more questions. Who was he, Socrates? Sigh. "I was mad at you," he affirmed. 'Cause she was stupid for doing lots of things, particularly things that involved Ella. "But I guess bigger stuff has come up that has sort of taken precedence."

Which led them into the next subject. When she asked where he had been, he tapped his finger on his leg before looking her way. "Uhm." How should he put this? He pulled his hand down over his face. "My dad came back." NINE years late.

"Hell no!"......wait? Was that sarcasm? Meh, Savvy wasn't the greatest with sarcasm but whatever. Savannah bit her lip, leaning against the wall, still sitting on the desk. Her blonde curls were now falling her face, she was looking straight at Aiden. She was still like majorly shocked. Okaaaaaay.....? now was time for the confused face again, the innocent and cute Savannah Conrad "I'm so confused face."She tilted her head, looking at him. He knew her well, he would be able to tell she was confused. The blonde thought for a moment longer and the blinked."Waiiiiiiiit...like bigger things meaning you like me or something?"Gah, confusion again.

O_______o

"Uhm....wow."

Yeahhhhhhhhh.....Savvy had not expected that. She knew Aiden wanted nothing to do with his father or so she thought. "Wha...what happened? What did he say?.....what did you do?"Savvy said her green eyes wide. This was the real shocker right here. Aiden's dad left FOREVER ago it seemed, they were just kids when it happened. Savvy had vague memories of it all but not a lot.

Aiden chuckled a bit at her response. Heh. The confused face soon came up and sure enough, she asked some question. "Erm.. well, I had meant bigger things, meaning my dad showing up." Hopefully that clear things up. "Not that I don't like you or something." He didn't want to take something the wrong way. Girls always seemed to read into things.

He matted down his hair repeatedly. "I know, it was... weird." He shook his head. "He came back 'cause he said he wanted to get back in touch with Maddie and me, but that's such a lie." He rolled his eyes, getting ticked just talking about it. Aiden wanted to find out why the git really came back. "He had his chance ages ago, you know? Needless to say, Madison and I booted him out," he added with a slight grin.

"That makes you want to snog me then.....?"

Perhaps she was just confusing herself, she was known for doing that. She let out a tiny laugh and leaned her head back, her hair falling back while doing that. She was tired and still confused, being confused made her tired it seemed. Maybe that's why she was tired all the time? Eh, Savvy didn't know. Savvy's eye line shifted back towards Aiden."Well, DUH."She said with a shake of her head. He wouldn't be kissing her if there wasn't any feelings most likely. Some guys were just random snogs but Aid wasn't like that.

Savvy could hear he was annoyed in his voice and she frowned. His father was alway a sore topic for Aiden, it always had been even when they first starting dating. Booting the guy out though? Savvy wasn't too sure she liked that."Looooook...."She said, frowning. She grabbed Aiden's hand for a bit of comfort."I don't get why he would come back if he didn't want to talk to you and Mad."she paused and shrugged."I mean, you are his kid and maybe he does miss you?"She said in a low voice. She understood how he felt though, she didn't want to see her father again....right now. She was sure her dad missed her though.

Brielle had her foot rested on the barre, and her head at her knee with arms outstretched, when a voice behind her made the Frech girl turn her her head.

"Why 'ello....Joshua isn't it?" Brielle smiled,as she gracefully unfolded her body, returning to an upright position, and removing her leg from the barre, "Did you ever get anyone to add your name to ze Goblet of Fire?" the girl asked, her words coming out in her sexy french accent.

Turning right around, so her back was leaning on the barre, Brielle could sense something was off with the boy, "Everthing bien?" She asked, her tone light and airy.

Hahhhhh. That was random, but Aiden found it amusing. "I think I've lost track of this conversation.." She did have mad snogging skills, of course, although he wasn't sure how that related to this. hehh.

It seemed like Savannah was actually understanding where he was coming from with all of this. Even though he didn't exactly enjoy talking about it, it was a relief that Savvy had sort of been there when his dad left; it made it easier and less awkward to bring the topic up. Buuuut, what? Pfft. He pulled his hand away. "Hah! Sav, if he missed us, he would've been back ages ago," he said bitterly. "No. I'm sure he had some ulterior motive." He took a breath and shook his head. Enough with all this crap talk. "New subject?"

When the girl spoke Josh was about to say goodbye and leave yet apparently the French accent he heard made him halt there so he did not move a muscle. Was he Joshua? Ha? Snap out of it! ''Yes'' he replied once he managed to look away from her beautiful features to one of the empty desks. Her smile was mesmerising almost like Evelyn's, therefore when he looked back to the girl when she spoke again, it was rude not to after all, he felt like he was being pulled into a trance again.

Slowly he walked inside and closed the door behind him. ''No, apparently not since i am not one of the champions'' he was sure that he would be once of them if he managed to put his name in the goblet. Too bad no one agreed to put his name.

Then he quickly nodded when she asked if everything was 'okay', he thought that word meant okay, and as he did so his gaze was still locked on the girl. ''I...yeah. Fine.'' he was not going to give a headache to her with his problem, was he? So he attempted to change the subject ''What were you doing here? A kind of dance''

Savannah giggled, looking down at the ground and then back at him, giggling still.She flipped her hair out of her face, giggles stopping. "Me too in all honesty..."Which was probably why she was so confused. Savvy's eyes shifted towards the wall and then Aiden again, listening to him speak. She jumped slightly, a frown on her face as he pulled away from her."I'm sorry...?"Gah, of course he would get mad at her right after all this snogging/kissing stuffs. Savannah sighed, looking back at him."I mean you are right...he would have came back ages ago..."Savvy said, nodding. Was she saying it because that's what she actually thought? No but she wanted Aiden happy and her agreeing with him probably made him happy.Oh, change of subject? Big shocker there. Hehhh.Savvy nodded, "Change of subject yeahhh..."She paused, thinking of what to say.

"Aid, I'm not like a rebound right?"Errr. Wasn't that random? She was frowning now, concerned. She didn't like being a rebound, she was too pretty to be a rebound.

Mhmmm. Okay, they were BOTH confused then. Aiden was feeling a lot of confusion lately, actually. Not just today. But, anyway.. "No. Sorry, I shouldn't have snapped at you." Meh. Touchy subjects meant touchy Aiden. He needed to work on that. But he nodded, glad that she was agreeing with him, even though in the back of his mind, he had a feeling she was just doing it to assuage him. Yes, change of subject to.....

Rebounding. He sighed when she suggested it. Apparently she must've been worrying about this a lot lately - he could sorta see it written on her face. "You're not a rebound, Sav. In fact, I think you should be my girlfriend, actually.." Yep, way to move fast, Chevalier. He looked over at her hand and then entwined it with his.

Savannah shook her head, hair falling in her face as she shook. Meh, her hair annoyed her even if it was pretty. Savannah listened to him, pulling a hair tie out and pulling her hair into a ponytail. "don't be."She said while tying the hair tie around her hair."You were upset, I should expect it from you, I've known you long enough..."So there for it was defiantly a stupid move on Savannah's part. She knew how Aiden reacted towards stuff like this, he always got testy. She put her hand down in her lap, looking back at him, biting her lip. There was a moment of silence or...awkwardness...or maybe even peace? Eh, Savannah didn't know what it was but it was something along those lines.

O______________________O

That was fast, not that she minded or anything cause this was what she wanted, everything she wanted. It just happened so QUICKLY. She couldn't even talk, she was just staring at him and those gorgeous eyes of his, trying to figure out if this was actually Aiden. It was Aiden, it surely was. Maybe the one she was all of Aiden last term wasn't Aiden? ZOMG. Like an impostor or something. Savannah felt his hand on her's and Savannah had to nearly force herself to not start jumping up and down in circles and flail. Savvy cleared her throat, ruining the tiny bit of silence.

"Aiden, I would love being your girlfriend....."Awkward silent pause thing."again..." AWH! This was just like the first time they started dating except like less romantic and way more rushed. Plus there weren't thoughts of THING going through her head during it. She still could be a rebound even if they were dating. She was sure it showed a little bit on her face, the bit of worrying but she was happy. She really was. She would be flipping barns right now if she could, unfortunately she did not have the strength nor were there any barns in sight.

Hmmh. Aiden looked at Savannah as she pulled her curls back into a ponytail. Well, that was an easier transition that he was used to. Not that he was complaining. "Yep, we know each other well," he said simply, stating the obvious. It was nice that way; he could get caught up in some fault of his, but she wouldn't take it to heart because she knew it was just how he was. And vice versa.

There seemed to be a pause - a little bout of silence, until Savannah cleared her throat and finally spoke. Heh. For a second there he was second-guessing how she'd answer, but her words quickly brought reassurance. "Awesome," he said as he smiled, and he opened and closed his fingers around hers. "So, you're my girlfriend." Again. Hehh.

He ruffled up his hair with his free hand and then looked at her. "I mean, this is pretty fast after.. you know, Ella and me," he added, hurriedly. "But.. I think it'll be good this way." He gave a quick laugh. "As long as you don't force me into too much shopping, please."
