Liz had an internal frown moment. Keltan was in his seventh and last year of Hogwarts and he didn't have a plan for his future? She hoped, for his sake, that that changed quickly.

Why not the Ministry?, Liz wondered, but decided not to ask. Questions like that could be personal, so they were better left alone.

One of the questions she had popped out of her mouth, "Did you put your name in the Goblet of Fire?" It was a delicate situation for Liz. She was scared about it. She didn't want anybody to die, but she also worried about her best friend, Pam. She was very sensitive to death. Liz remembered how Pam almost completely broke down when they went to see the Goblet of Fire. Liz was about voice her fright, but held herself back. Keltan surely didn't want to know all her troubles.

"Yea, I do love quidditch though. I was hoping that I could watch a match or two. Are you in it?"

She smiled as he tried to comfort her. "Yea, that's true. Thanks, that does make me feel a bit better." Hogwarts, a history. Hogwarts, a history. Where have I heard that book? Oh! That's right, hehe the book gathering dust in my chest.
"Um, I do have one thing to ask though." She said nervously now, afraid she would be intruding.

A smile appearing on his face, he nods "Yes, I was seeker for my first and third year and chaser for my second and third. I ended up playing seeker as backup for both games last term." He was still proud of getting the snitch during the last game, winning the game for his team. He almost didn't play, and was glad he had.

"Good." he replies smiling patting her shoulder closest to him. "The champions will be safe, I'm sure of it." he was more confident then he felt. Maybe... he thought. "What's that?"

"Yea, that's good. Sounds like you really like quittitch. I'll have to watch a game of yours next year."

Her smile faded a bit. "Well I probably have no right asking this, but is something wrong?" She looked up at him. "I mean like when you left to go talk to Miles and Jacob in the coridor, you seemed kinda..." She pondered a bit on the word to use. "Sad, I guess. You don't have to answer, I'm just wondering. Sorry if that was a bit too personal." She tried to smile at him, and she hope it didn't sound to proding. It's just he did look a little...... space-y when he left.

"I love it, at first I was really nervous, but when I found I'm a natural at flying, I can't get enough." his eyes twinkling in happiness as he tells her about it.

Sighing he looks down at her again. "Yes, I...well it's been a miserable month. I feel so stupid, and well...think I've made a huge mistake." his eyes saddening again, he his mind drifts to Ellie. He loved her, and the last month had taken its toll. He had hated it, and now was totally miserable because he'd broken off everything. "I love her..." he whispers softly.

She looked up at him, she could see the sadness in his eyes, she didn't mean to make him sad. She got up and gently hugged him. "Sometimes all you need is a friend and agood hug." She whispered softly.

Allowing her to hug him, he goes to hug her back, but couldn't do it. He just didn't want to put his arms around anyone except his Ellie again. Squeezing her arm, he gives her a small smile. "Sometimes it is."

She looked up at him, and nodded. "Everyone's got their ups and downs in relationships. This just happens to be a down. I'm sure whatever happened, can be forgiven and forgotten in time. I mean, just give her some time, she'll come around. And she'll be in your arms again soon." she smiled and rubbed his shoulder. "It'll be alright."

Ellie walked through the door to the common room and halted. One foot in, one foot floating outside. She had heard a familiar voice. A voice she had proudly avoided for quite a few weeks now. And... well... she was curious.

But hearing what she'd thought was a good portion of the conversation... or good enough, at least... she made an appearance.

And Merlin help JD for what she saw. There was HUGGING. And RUBBING. And CONTACT. And if THAT wasn't enough of a shock... it was between JD and a giiiirrrlll.

She stepped plainly into view of the two and crossed her arms across her chest. "Well. Looks like you've moved on fast, Mr. Obsessive." Because he had SO been obsessed with her. And now this. And to think, she'd been telling him for a good while to move on and get over her. Did he listen to her? No.

HMPH.

Pam looked up to see a girl. "You must be Ellie. I'm Pam." She stood up and walked around to the other side of the couch.

"And to be honest. I was comforting him. Something you've seem to loose sight of. Upsetting him like that. What kind of sick person would do that to anyone?!"

Turning his body, he puts his feet on the floor, his head going into his hands. In his arms... biting his tongue he doesn't say a word. He didn't want to think about this anymore, he had to move on. Arghh!

Standing up he walks over to the window, away from Pam, he didn't want to upset her, he'd certainly upset one girl enough he didn't need another on his mind.

His eyes flying wide open as he hears a voice as he heads toward the window, he turns around "Obsessive! God Ellie, I jus' wanted ye te know how I truly felt." Shaking his head, he bites his tongue hard. He couldn't believe how she'd acted that night let alone how she'd been the last few weeks.

He cared for her, loved her and wanted to be with her, and couldn't. She didn't care for him, let alone love him. And she certainly didn't want to be with him. He looked at her and shook his head, turning his back on her looking out the window. "Why should I care...it's jus' like every other girl I've met." he mutters softly.

Gasping as he heard Pam's words, he groans putting his head down on his hands on the windowsill. "Ergghhhhh...." he groans softly. Dreading to hear Ellie's reaction to that comment.

She watched as he walked over to the window. Pam! Look at what you've done! Not only have you upset a nice guy, you've started a fight. This is not going to go well. LEAVE! She didn't. She stood her ground. She didn't care if she got attacked verbaly by this girl. She new things weren't going to end well. She would probably loose JD as a friend, and create a huge enemy. This is what you get for inserting yourself. Suit yourself.

How he felt? Did he think that she was deaf or something?

"You told me once! I told you to wait. So... did you wait?! No! You went on and told me again!" Sounded obsessive to Ellie.

Glaring at him, she caught his next words, "Well! Maybe... if you hadn't put a move on 'every other girl you've met' you wouldn't have these problems!"

"Yeah. I AM Ellie." What did it matter to this girl who she was?

Then she gasped. Ouch! She flicked her wrist and her wand appeared in her hand. "Upset him?! If you even knew...." Basically, she was just speechless. Her, a sick person?! Lucky for Pam, she couldn't do non-verbals. She had never thought she'd be one to even WANT or THINK about cursing another. Especially at school. In her own house.

Safe to say, she was MAAAAAAAD.

Pam backed away slowly. "Look, I'm sorry, I can't help myself. I'm sorry." Tears started forming in her eyes, out of feardom. She didn't mean to cause trouble. Not here, and certanly not now. "Please. I was just comforting him! I don't know anything about this, he seemed sad and in need of a hug. If that bugs you, i'm sorry, it's difficult for me to just sit there and watch him break down in front of me." She backed around till she was on the other side of he couch.

Turning around fast, he shakes his head "Ellie, other then Anya, you are the only one I've ever cared so much for. I've never wanted to be with anyone else. I wouldn't have chosen anyone else, I couldn't have...not with my heart somewhere else." If she'd ever listened to him, she'd know that. His eyes filled with pain, "And apparently that doesn't mean anything to you." He couldn't believe he'd just said that, he really couldn't.

He was now just running on the hurt, that she was now creating more of in him. He couldn't sit there any more and listen to it. "Ye've done it ok, ye win, I'm hurt." If that made her happy then so be it. He was through fighting that's all he knew.


Turning back quickly he doesn't let her see the tear, he wouldn't, not on his life. Looking out at the dark grounds, he doesn't see her wand come out. "I think I'm gonna go for a walk." he says quietly to no one particular.

Pam looked over at JD as he tried to explain. Tears now falling over her cheecks. "P-please don't leave. N-not yet." She really didn't want to cause him anymore pain. She'd seen that she'd done enough already, but there wasn't much else she could do. She didn't have enough experience to fight her off.

Ellie walked closer as Pam moved back. "How DARE you call me a sick person, then." SHE was the victim, she was!

Ellie threw her hands up in the air. "And, so, that's what? Two of the two girls you've known? And apparently, nothing I've told you means anything to you. Apparently all you care about is yourself." Didn't her feelings matter at all? Didn't she get to feel sorry for herself, ever?

Tears flowing more rapidly now. "I'm sorry, please. I had to do something." She backed up more as Ellie came closer. "Please j-just.. calm down."

Sighing he glances at back at Ellie now seeing her wand out. "El, just leave her, she was just trying to help, and...you did start it." Walking over to her, he knew this was a dangerous thing with her wand out and between them for that matter, but he felt maybe it would make them both understand something.

Gently taking her by the shoulders he leads her a little ways away. "El, I meant what I said." he wouldn't repeat it because he meant every word and she knew what he was talking about. "You are the one I care about, and none other, but the last month and a half has been miserable for myself, I don't know about you."

Taking a deep breath he swallows before going on "I'm going to go for a walk...down by the lake. If you don't want to follow me, I understand, and know what your decision is. If you do, we'll talk." Leaning closer, he gives her a small kiss on her cheek close to the corner of her mouth. "I won't hold any hard feelings on your decision, but nor will I continue to ask.

Turning to Pam, he smiles softly at her, and walks out of the common room.

Oui, he needed to watch what he ate or drank from now on. Not that he thought Sandra would spike any of his food or drinks, but one could never be too cautious. Especially when they find out that they are 'well versed' in potions. Then again, he didn't know just how good she was in class, seeing as he was just meeting her. Well, he'd find out sooner or later.

Nodding his head, he smiled before replying to her. "Oui, I enjoy listening to it." And? "I...play ze guitar az well." No, he wasn't trying to impress her or anything. Unless the other guys he saw talking to her at the feast didn't play any instruments then yes, he was trying to impress her. "May I ask, what kind of music you like?"

And no, again, he wasn't thinking about playing songs for her. Unless, of course, those other guys didn't, then he would. That is if she even liked the instrument.

Pam sighed as he left. She sat in one of the big armchairs and groaned. This was such a long day. She rubbed her eyes a bit, then looked up at Ellie, on the edge of her seat, in case of any running needed.

She started it?! No, no, no, no, no. That was not how she saw it. She was the one accused of wrongful things this girl knew nothing about. This girl had butted into their problem. Ellie was merely defending herself.

Then, he was touching her! What nerve! And she squirmed and tried to wiggle herself free. She wanted the control here. And JD just kept talking. And it all didn't make sense to her. She tried to tune it out. It was more 'blah, blah, love, blah, blah' wasn't it?

But then he kissed her. And she....relaxed? And- he left.

"Whyyyyy does he always do that?!" she asked Pam. It was a rhetorical question.

She tucked her wand back into its holster and spared Pam an apologetic look. She didn't mean all that. Honestly. Well.... at the time, she did. But. It just all seemed stupid now. And she ran out.

Hugo sat down, tired. He hadn't made a single friend in Ravenclaw yet. He sighed. Guess it was harder than he expected. He started going through his HoM homework. It was so hard, he didn't understand anything.

Pam watched as Elli left. She groaned. At least she was going after him. They seemed right for eachother..... She smiled a bit. But was sad, for she probably just lost a friend. Pam felt bad, it seemed like her fault. All she wanted to do was help! Why was it that whenever she wanted to help something bad goes wrong? she wondered why she couldn't just, for once, have things go right. Maybe then she wouldn't loose so many friends.

Kel bit his lip for a second while Kaitlyn was quiet. He tried to think of a question to ask her, but his tiredness was gaining up on him, and he really couldn't think very good. So, when she asked another question herself, he was actually grateful, even though he didn't have much of an answer.

"I did," he replied, nodding. "I figured it was a once-in-a-lifetime chance, and since I'm eighteen, I should take it. Whether I got chosen or not, I could still say I entered the Triwizard Tournament." Yep; that had been his main reason for entering.
