Callie returned the older boys smile, before looking down at the floor it was all pebbley and stuffs. Yeah the floor generally was but yeah she just felt like pointing that out to her brain.

She nodded. They would have to wait til there older. "Yeah I suppose." Waiting wasn't good, waiting was bad. Like waiting in the dentist waiting room *shudder* But maybe James would take her, he was like 28 after all.


California thought about his next comment. "Um I think so. Oz wasnt it ?" she'd always wondered if that place was real.

She nodded, watching as he tightened his scarf around his neck. Hopefully he wasn't trying to strangle himself so he didnt have to talk to her *erm* "My hair ? Oh um Yeah. Mom says I shouldnt dye it because its a unique colour."

"It'd be a pain, I know but once we're older travelling could be the greatest thing in the world." Eben replied. He had loved going to interesting places, granted he was under his parents' watch at all times which was generally annoying, but he could deal with it when he was allowed to wander about by himself.

"Oz." the boy repeated the strange little word and nodded. "Sound about right. It's been awhile since I've read any Muggle books though."

He gave another genuine smile when she said it was her natural hair color. "It's beautiful." Eben said quietly touching it just for a moment and then moving his hand back to his side again. Course he was extremely partial to red heads.

"Yeah waiting sucks. Yup Travelling's pretty awesome." So were other countries, she didnt really include England in that because it was okay and the people had hot accents but yeah it was COOOLD and rainy. Meh. Travelling by herself or with Eben sounded like much more fun though because Eben was hot she wouldnt have her parents following her round like two lost puppys.

Callie thought about the word in her head. She didn't read much but yeah it sounded about right. "Me too. I dont really read much." she confessed not that there was much to confess.

The slytherin bit her lip, she wasn't reeally sure why but yeah it just sorta happened, as he touched her hair, letting a small giggle escape from her mouth. "Thanks, your is very...beautiful too." Did boys like being told they had beautiful hair ?

"I'm hoping that my older sister will bring me somewhere fun for Christmas, or perhaps during the summer holiday so we can go for a longer time." Eben explained, places of interests flashed through his head.

"I'm thinking Chile or Germany." he added and thinking those sounded rather random he explained, "The food in Germany is really good and I would love to drive really fast on the Autobahn just once. And Chile has these cool mountains that you can climb and see all the ancient worlds relics."

Wow, he was lame and educational. Callie definitely wouldn't want to go on holiday with him because he'd get excited about stupid old facts that she wouldn't find interesting.

Eben quirked his eyebrow when Callie called his hair beautiful. "It's just boring plain black." he replied touching his head for a moment. "But I wouldn't change the color at all. Maybe let it grow a little longer."

"Me too. Well not your older sister, my older Brother. Though he probably wont. He likes England." And he wouldnt be able to leave his ladeh friends. Meh, He spent to much time with them, well no he didnt he had a new ladeh friend everyday.

Chile. "Is it Cold in Chile ?" Germany. She'd always wanted to go there to try there cheeeese, and visit that special castle with a long name. Tehee. It sounded fun there. "The auto what ?" she blinked a few times. She didn't know what on earth he was talking about. Hopefully he was a good explainer.

She giggled. He was so...smart. And educational yesh, Clever pants. Maybe he'd tutor her sometime ? She needed tutoring...erm. "Hey Eben. Wanna tutor me ? You seem..Smart." vereh smart.

Callie shoook her head. "No its not. Its awesome. Stop insulting yourself." Although he'd only insulted himself once. Callie giggled. "You should dye it ginger."

"Well maybe your parents could meet my sister and you can come with us." Eben suggested. Granuaile was practically an old fart anyways, she kept to herself in her little flat in Ireland and went to University and was a stickler for everything being neat. A parent's delight.

"Well when it's summer here it's cold there because they're in the Southern Hemisphere so their seasons are opposite." Eben explained, his ears turning red when he sounded like a walking encyclopedia. "The Autobahn is this long stretch of highway which is famous because there is no speed limit for certain vehicles to drive on." Ears getting redder.

"Tutor you?" Eben rubbed at the back of his neck. It would give him another opportunity to see Callie. And she was really pretty and nice to be around. And she didn't make fun of him. AND she was ginger! "Yeah, I don't see why not."

"But I--oh I would never dye my hair ginger." Eben replied shaking his head furiously. "My hair would match my scarf!"

Callie beamed at Eben's idea she'd love to go on holiday with him. "That'd be great maybe she could meet my bro..." she stopped. A girl meeting James ? No no that would never happen. Unless they didn't wanna go on holiday *eyes James* "Nah it'd prolly be best if she met my parents. But yeah I'd like that." she said giggling slightly.

"So in the winter here its warm there ?" If it was cold or year round, that'd be baaad. Cold places, e.g here, were bad. Yes they weree. She looked at the sky, meh it was all grey and stuffs. Decembers were suckish. She snuggled into Eben's cloak before. "My my aren't you clever Mister Eben." she giggled as she noticed his ears were red, looking back at him.

"Yes tutor me." He was clever, and plus that meant they'd get to talk more which was always bonusful. She waited for an answer hoping it was a yes because she'd not been rejected before even if she had only asked him to tutor her. "Yays! Thanks."

"I know. I was kidding silleh. I like your hair as it is." She smiled. She'd touch his hair too but he was like...tall. "Then you could wear your scarf round your head and people wouldn't be able to notice..as much."

Eben laughed when she thought over the fact of her brother meeting his sister. Not that Granuaile would ever fall for anyone, she was too involved in her work to notice boys. "Alright, I'll mail her a letter asking if that's at all possible first." he replied with a bright smile.

"Yes, exactly. Which is why I'd probably want to go to Chile if we went during Christmas, and Germany if we went during the summer. I just need to experience heat because obviously we don't here." the boy said, excited at the prospect of getting a sunburn which he always got because he was so pale.

Eben started to blush again when Callie called him clever. "Well, I don't mean to be.." His cheeks not matching his ears.

"You're welcome. What subjects do you need help in the most?" Eben asked. 'Please don't say Potions. Please don't say Potions.' he thought, hating that subject more than anything in the whole world.

Eben was surprised that she could reach his head, though she did seem taller than Esme was. "I'd wear my scarf around proudly on my head. I quite like it." the boy said touching the red material fondly.

Callie giggled, thinking of the bad things that could happen if James met his sister. If she was a pretty as he was cute then there could be a lot of bad things. James just was bad news, not to her of course cus she loved him but to others. Meh. "Yays. Can't wait."

"That sounds like fun. But you'd better look after me. I dont want to get lost." S'pecially in a place she'd never heard of. She wouldnt mind getting lost in Germany she knew her way out...Sorta, ich, not really very well. But she knew where it was. Heeat. That sounded so good.

Callie giggled as Eben blushed he was like adorable. "Wel its a good thing you are. Where else would I find a tutor like you ?"

Callie thought. She couldn't say all subjects because that'd make her look stupid. "Um lots of subjects. Most actually." The more subject he taught her in the more time they got to spend together. teeeheee.

Callie giggled as Eben said he wore his scarf with pride. "Thats good then because Scarves are awesome. 'Specially when there gifts." she said beaming at the older boy.

"I wouldn't dream of letting you get lost." Eben replied furrowing his brow at the thought. Hopefully she didn't try to snake away from him like little kids did with their parents. That would get old real fast.

"Ermmm, not sure actually. From what I can tell, I'm pretty smart compared to the other Ravenclaws." he replied. True fact.

"Brilliant. We'll have to figure out times where we can meet and stuff. I prefer the library if that's okay with you."

That was it, he was getting her a scarf. A nice one that would match her hair. "Scarves are awesome." Eben repeated, grinning back down at Callie.

"Good, You'd better watch then. I move preettty quickleh." she said with a small nod, watching and giggling as he furrowed his brow. Tehee. He was so cute.

"Aww. Thats so sweet. Im pretty sure you are the smartest Ravenclaw, darlin'." she said beaming at the older boy once more.

Library ? She shuddered slightly before nodding very slowly. "Um yeah thats fine. Im probably free whenever you are." The library was weird but yeah she'd go in there if Eben wanted to.

She giggled. "Well I guess I know what im getting you for Christmas." Matching gloves, hat and a scarf. yayayayayayay. Whooop!

Eben let out a little laugh and bent down so that he was eye level with Callie. "Is that a challenge?" he asked the girl with a curious look.

The boy blushed again because she had called him the smartest Ravenclaw AND a darlin'. He had never been this red before in his life. But the blushing was certainly keeping him warm in the cold weather.

"It's just quiet and stuff, easier to get things down." Eben explained. "Perhaps on Wednesday after dinner?"

The boy wondered over what she was going to get him. "Give me a hint?"

Callie smirked as Eben bent down so he was eye level with herself. A chellenge ? "Maybe." She said, reaching forward and kissing him. Meh. She prolly shouldn't of done that but she was Callie Parker it was so unher not too.

Not thinking much of kissing him, not in an embarresment kinda way anyways. She'd kissed plenty of boys so she was used to it, she giggled as he blushed. He blushed a lot, like...um like Oh! Like Chandler did. Bwaha. Chandler wasn't quite as cute as Eben though.

"Oh goood." she replied having never been into the library before. "Oooh then. Sounds good."

She shook her head. "It wouldnt be a suprise if I told you now would it ?" wink.

Eben felt Callie's lips on his, and his mind went into overload. 'Woah! What's going on! Think Eben, think!' He pulled away and said, "You taste pretty." Wow, smooth one there slick. "I-i mean...erm."

The giggling again, oh it was a good thing she was a cute one or there would be issues. She was probably just laughing at him blushing again. It was like a never ending cycle.

"We can walk up together if you come find me after you're done eating." he suggested with a smirk.

She had a point there. The waiting was going to kill him. Why couldn't it be Christmas already? "Then I'll keep what I'm getting you for Christmas a secret too."

Callie smiled at Eben, still not thinking much of kissing him. She did have to say he was a purdy good kisser but yeah. She smirked as he said she tasted pretty. "Thankyou. You taste pretty...hot yourself." she smirked some more.

She refrained from a giggle because it was starting to annoy even her but instead she smiled waiting for Eben to say something else she didn't wanna make him blush even more.

"I'd like that." she replied her smirk turning back into a smile. "So want me to come over to the Ravenclaw table and find you ?"

EEEP. She had to wait to. Callie wasn't good at the waiting game. She was vereh bad at it. "Fine. I suppose thats fair. But I think you should tell me. Cus I kissed you so y'know tis fair." wink.

"Hot?" Eben chuckled nervously. "Thanks."

He nodded. "Yes, I'm pretty easy to spot amongst the crowd." the boy pointed out looking down and then up again. It was the tall factor of his outward appearance.

"Oh do you?" Eben arched his brow and leaned down and kissed her firmly on the mouth for a few brief moments. "Now we're even and we'll both have to wait." he confirmed with a bright smile as he straightened up.

"Yup." It was the male version of pretty wasnt it ? "Anytime." That was a lie. Callie wasnt a big fan of giving out compliments.

She smiled. "Oookays. I guess you are. Im shocked I havnt seen you around before, guess im not very observant." It didnt take a brain sergen to figure that out now did it, Pakrer ?

She giggled as he reached down and kissed her. As much as she enjoyed them being even she reeeeally wanted to know. He was too tall for her to reach though. "Um. Wanna bend down again ?" she said smirking ever so slightly.

"Well I keep to myself mostly. I try to keep out of the way, especially since I don't really know a lot of people." Eben explained shrugging his shoulders.

"Why would I want to do that I wonder?" he questioned, bending down a little again and going eye level with Callie once more, smirking.

Aww. That was so adorable. "You should make atleast try make new friends. You should meet my Bestie Jack. He's awesome." 'Sept now he was dating Rhea whom Callie didn't get on with. "Oh and Ive met lots of other people too. I'll have to introduce them to you sometime." she smiled.

"Pft. Dont even lie you know you want to." And he was super smart so he obviously knew why she wanted him to. As he did she leaned forward and kissed him once more, holding on for quite a lot longer this time, letting go she smirked. "Now You owe me."

"Well I've met you. And by knowing you, I could get to know more people." Eben realised with a bright smile. "It would be great to make new friends, for sure." Well that would be exciting. It was a time of new beginnings for him.

After Callie kissed him again, Eben blushed again and murmured, "I suppose I do. But let me just play it out a little more. I'll leave you hints."

"Yeah. So theres a start. You met any other people ?" Surely he'd met some people he couldn't of been walking round by himself the past few months. Surely he would've got bored or something ? Unless he read alot that could be time consuming.

Callie smirked as the older boy blushed. She liked it when she made people blush t'was funneh. "Okay then. Shoot."

"Hmmm let's see. There's Esme, she lives next door to me in London, Trixie she's a Slytherin, Stephen Fanelli, Adry, and Adam Stemp, and a couple of other people who I can't remember their names." he explained with a thought.

Eben thought for a moment and said, "It can be hand made."

"Ooh. Trixie! I know her. She was my partener in Divination. And um Adam Stemp...Yeah Ive met him breifly too." she smiled. There was another thing they had in common. Though they'd prolly have knowing those two in common with alot of people.

Hand made ? "Isit a mug ?" she said giggling.

"I met Trixie in Diagon Alley and I've seen her around Hogwarts a couple of times. And Adam sat with me at the First Task." Eben replied, recalling where he had met to two people.

"I like to keep to myself though, gives me a chance to get things done." he explained.

Eben shook his head and smiled bemusedly, "Nope it's not a mug. I'll give you another hint tomorrow."

"I um. I cant remember where I met Trixie but I...Um. I met Adam....in DA on the street or something." And that was where he'd got the name Guitar boy, as she vagely remembered him pretending he was playing the guitar. Tehee.

"Suppose. Maybe thats why I dont get things done often." Hmm.

Callie faked a frown. Sure she liked mugs but she wasnt sure she wanted one for christmas. "Tommorrow ? Is that just an excuse to see me tommorrow ?" she said smirking.
