It took all of Evan's will not to raise an eyebrow at the girl. What kind of a man would choose to live in the Muggle World?! Sure, they had their own magic with all those electronics Evan loved and owned, but really, without magic, life was too hard. And to bear the Muggles' obliviousness to the world right under their nose was too much for him. But then, everyone had their own preferences and maybe the man was almost a squib disguised in the Muggle World? Slytherin shrugged it off. He was going to try his best not to judge the man over his way of living.

"Sounds... fun," he forced himself to smile. He wasn't going to let her know his thoughts about Muggles. People outside Slytherin might not find him too favourable for his slight prejudice towards Muggles.

"Yeah, I'm sure." He smiled encouragingly. Really, he had nothing to do. After finishing his letter to Mina, he'd probably feel too guilty and study for his OWLs, something he didn't want to do. So, he made the simple choice of spending more free time with her. Looking around, he shrugged. "Anywhere's cool with me." She should choose since she offered to sit somewhere.

Oblivious to his disliking of anything muggle Brittany happily answered his statement. "Oh It is." She said with a smile. "Everything is much more hands on oppose to just using magic for eveything." she could bet anything he rarely did anything without that wan of his and it was such a pity because it makes the worl much more exciting being able to do something with your own hands. Ehhh, it really didnt matter to her anyway. His Life, His problem.

"Well I guess the courtyard would be a logical choice we're already here anyway." she said pointing out towards the courtyard. She didnt wait for an answer instead she just walked toward the courtyard expecting him to follow

Evan shrugged. He didn't use magic for everything. It just made life easier. Apparently, the Muggle spirit was in Brittany too. Pfft. Why bothering yourself while you would only flick your hand?

Nodding, he followed her into the courtyard. Siiigh... he used to go there with Mina.

Stephen smirked, shaking his head at Lexi and adding a chuckle towards the end. Maybe he should punish her for lying, maybe no shopping for a month should be it. But then again, there was nowhere to shop around here, at least not designer clothes like Lexi loved. Haha, she'd go insane on her own here anyway.

"Fiiiine, I'll try to be nice to the little newbies. Though I can't really promise anything," Stephen stated, knowing he'd probably hook a newbie up on a statue and leave them there until someone else found them. "Relax, just keep MOST of your things in your bags and you'll be good. I dunno why you bought so much clothes if we wear uniforms..." GROSS.

Lexi just gave her friend a little eyebrow raise and nodded once in reply. "Mmkay, Lil. If you say so. I know you, though, and...something's up," she said. "Maybe even something you don't even realize yet. You just have that...sort of glow about you that something really good has happened or is about to happen." She shrugged them moved to sit on a nearby bench. "Well, whatever it is, I'm glad things are going so well for you."

"So the holidays are coming up. What do you have planned?" she asked. She knew Lil had a son, and she'd even met the little Quidditch-loving kid once in Diagon Alley, but she wasn't sure if Lil even got to go home for the holidays and spend time with him. "I'm...not suite sure what I've got going on. Al's so busy lately. I need to send Apollo after her."

..and then, Lexi happened to realize that she'd been out here for quite some time, and she was due in class shortly. She didn't have a watch on, but she was sure the time to get back to class was drawing nearer. "Oh, I'm sorry, Lil. I have to get to class. Drop by my office later, and we'll finish out little chat!" She smiled politely at her friend then hurried out the courtyard and back toward class.

"Aiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiideeeeeennnnnn....C'M ON!"Savannah said, pulling the Gryfinndor by his hand through the corridor. Classes were pretty much done for the day so they had free time. Savvy of course wanted to spend time with Aiden because after all, he was her boyfriend. BEAM. Just the thought of it made Savannah want to jump up and down in circles. Hehhh. She didn't do it though, people might get weirded out.

Did Miss Conrad have any real idea where she was dragging Aiden? Nope. She was just dragging him some where. To that little bench maybe? Yeah, that bench would work. Savannah giggled, pulling him over to the bench. Savannah looked up at him for a moment, smiling. GAH SHE FELT SO WARM AND HAPPY! "I hope this is okay...?"She asked, tilting her head to the side as she looked at him. Of course it would be okay, it was just a bench. She still wanted to check though. WASN'T SHE SO CARING AND SWEET?!

Hehhh.

Savannah let go of Aiden's hand before sitting down on the bench, looking up at him. There was a tiny grin as she waited for him to follow her steps and sit down.

Aiden chuckled. "I'm coming, walking at a normal pace. Why the rush?" But Savannah seemed eager to get to the courtyard, so he didn't complain as she dragged him by the hand until they got out there. She eventually seemed to make up her mind about where she was going or which bench she wanted to sit at. He really had no preference; they were all the same, right? Well... the views from each would be different, but whatever.

"Mhmm, this is fine," he answered after she finally picked a bench. His hands slipped into his pockets and he glanced around out at the fountain and then the several other students who were gathered around it. It felt nice to stand, but Savannah looked like she wanted him to sit, so he'd oblige her. His eyes happened to catch sight of her heels. "No converse today, huh?" he teased.

Savvy eyed him, unimpressed. She was kidding though, she really didn't mean it. Aiden was too cute for her to be mad at unless he was with thing, but that was a different story. Savvy crossed her legs, looking up at him. She was pouting like she usually did. It was rare to see the girl NOT pouting.

"Cauuuuuseeeee...." SAvvy whined, looking at him. Her long arms were hanging at her side, "We can't SNOG while we are walking..."Nor show affection in any other way which wasn't cool. All they could really do was like hold hands while walking and that was just boring. They needed to like flaunt off their hotness and they couldn't do that by JUST holding hands. It just wasn't cool.

A smile broke out on the seventeen year old's face as he sat down, why was she smiling? She had no idea. She was just happy, like uberly happy and it was all because some BOY sitting next to her.

Love did crazy things didn't it? Errrrmmmm....she probably should push that little thought out of her head. Aiden didn't like love, it scared him. She was going to avoid that as a topic if at all possible.

Converse? MEH. That was no shock.

"Ohhhh...shut up."Savvy said, hitting him lightly in the arm."I'm not wearing them unless I get something out of it."Like the last time she wore them? She got to like kind of cuddle up to him, kind of being the key word here.

"What's yeah...uh-uh suppose to mean?"

Beck didn't know why Bonnie was yeah uh-uhing him because it was true he doesn't have a girlfriend. It's hard for him at Hogwarts for some reason. There are alot more girls here that are crazed over him and he likes someone at the moment but she is already dating someone and he was sorta mad about it.

Rhea needed a walk. She had a lot to think about and a lot to do, but she would push the do bit back and do more thinking for now. She figured a walk to the courtyard would be good and help to either clear her mind or help her figure out what she needed to. She had no more classes and had showered and was now dressed in casual shorts and a top and flat black converses, because, well she just didn't feel like being really girly right now.

She turned the corner only to spot Aiden and Savannah sitting close to each other and smiling???/

kjdhfdkjfgsdgvjkdfgsdkfvgsdfhsdgfks.

What was going on????? The last time she saw those two together like that, they almost kissed and she was sure Aiden had said he would avoid getting into such positions with her. She frowned feeling utterly confused and walked over to them, her hands on her hip.
She cleared her throat.

"Anyone care to explain the lack of space between you two?" Oh yesss, they had some splaining to do.

There was a person there, a person asking them a question. Savvy was too busy looking at her shoes, thinking of how cute she and Aiden were together to really paying attention. Meh, people ruining Savvy and Aiden time did NOT make Savannah Conrad a happy girl, nope.

The blonde look up though, spoting Rhea standing there.

ZOMG. She didn't KNOW?! Savvy had thought Aiden would have told her by now even though she and Aiden had been together for a grand total of two days...

Savannah smirked, not saying a word. She only scooted closer to Aiden, resting her leg on his lap. Those sparkly grey gold heels were sparkling like CRAZY right now. It wasn't the shoes she was trying to show off though. She was trying to show off their hotness.

"Well, I'm guessing Aiden didn't tell you the news...?"Savannah said, twirling a strand of hair around her pinky finger.

*giggle*

Aha, of course. That's why she wanted to sit. He should've known. Well, then, Aiden agreed with her logic. Heh. "Okay, I'll take that response," he grinned. Naturally, this girl would not wear those shoes unless she 'got something out of it.' Pffft. Not evah. "Fair enough. I really don't mind. The sparkliness and pinkness of those converse now basically defeat the purpose." The purpose of looking COOL, of course.

He heard a voice and suddenly looked up to see Rhea standing before them. Hah! She hadn't heard... He better enlighten her now. "Savannah and I are dating, Rhea." Yep. Maybe this would be the part where she keeled over and died out of disbelief..? He smiled as he waited to see her reaction.

It was a nice day, and Hugo went for a walk to be by himself for a while. Not that he was with people all the time. He looked around and put his hands in his coat pockets. He could see his breath hanging in the air.

The walk was nice, he could think about things. Things he'd rather not think about, but had to. He sighed.

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat? Ok so yeah Rhea was happy for them. She had wanted them to get together for like everrrrrr, but they did and they totally didn't tell her! Somebody was going to get hexed oh yes!! Ok well no, now was a time to celebrate? Not before they got a proper telling off though and Aiden was being just so casual with it. Like ok yeah but she didn't! Know!

She stood there for a bit looking at them and just blinking, blinking and blinking. Only a few weeks ago or something Aiden was still with Ella right? Jeezus they moved fast. Ok well she expected that from Sav because, well she was Sav but not from Aiden. He was all good and stuff.
"It had better just happened and I'm the first to know or heads will roll."

Giggling, Savvy buried her head in his neck. Her thick hair hitting Aiden in the face in the process, "I don't think we can do that with Rhea around..."Savannah mumbled, into his neck. Well, they COULD do it but Rhea wouldn't be too happy. Rhea would have probably fallen on the ground and like passed out considering her reaction ot Savvy just talking about Aiden.

This girl was in serious doo-doo now. She had to put UP with them being all cutesy with eachother. Hehhh.

ggfhsgdhshdfghdgf. The giggles stopped as soon as Aiden spoke, she looked up at him, GLARING. He ha just DISSED glitter and pink! Of course, Savvy didn't picture him running around in pink and sparkles but he STILL could learn to like it for her sake.She said nothing though and looked at Rhea, amused.

This was going to be fun.

Errrrrr....she was mad. This wasn't good. Savannah looked over at Aiden, then back at Rhea. "Well, I never see you during the day so I couldn't have told you..."Savvy said, putting ALL the blame on Aiden. He was her bestie right? That would be like NEKODA not telling her about a new boyfriend which was SO not cool in her book.

It was probably wise to change the subject before Aiden got killed by Rhea....

"ISN'T IT AMAZING?!" Savannah said, wrapping her arms around Aiden and totally SNUGGLING him in a death grip hug. Hehhh.

Ella was feeling rather jolly today. She had no reason to be, but after ages of utter misery, random joy was definitely a good thing. Practically skipping through the grounds, Ella found a flower on the floor and popped it behind her ear. Aww, peeerty. Course, anyone who knew Ella would be freaked out by her sudden liking of flowers. She wasn't a flower person, nope.

She leaned against the wall, and let boredom overtake her. She needed company on this joyous day. Heheeee.

Rubbing her eyes, Trixie made her way out into the Schools grounds, appearing down the Corridor to the Courtyard with a sigh and a half hearted smile on her face. She wasn't in THE best of moods. She wasn't grumpy, just not as joyful as she could perhaps do. The Slytherins attention however was drawn over to someone else that also happened to be in the area with her. Her eyebrow raised slightly as she saw what was behind her ear. Was that... No that couldn't be...

"Ella?"

The Blonde approached her, staring at the flower and then down at her cousin. "Whats with the happy mood?" she asked. Yes she didn't mind her being all happy and what not but seeing as the events of the past few weeks hadn't been so good, it was weird seeing her this joyful. Ergh, the sixteen year old hated having to be cooped up a lot this term. No quidditch meant that she couldn't vent of anything she normally would. It meant she was reasonably grumpy and permanently tired.

*Sigh*

Still leaning agains the wall, Ella turned her head to the side slightly, and could've sworn that in the distance, she could see Aiden.... and Savannah. It did darken her mood for a second, but once she looked away, she was a happy chappy again. Yaaaay - huh?

"Trixie.......?" She said with a blink.

Just how she thought, anyone who knew her would be freaked out by this behaviour. Ella... HAPPY? It was ridiculous. She responded with a shrug. "Honestly.... I have no idea." Well, her plan to win Aiden back was sort of on the right tracks. He was certainly jealous when she mentioned Gaspar to him. Oooh, maybe she should inform Trixie on her plans. "But..... I have a boyfriend! A new one." She said with a shifty expression. Although, the more time she spent with Gaspar, the more saddened she got about Aiden. Because she wanted HIM instead.

"Anyway... What's with the grumpy mood?" Ella returned the question. What's with all the negativity around here lately? Sheeeesh.

Trixie managed a genuine smile. Her cousin was just... It was kinda weird really her being in such a good mood, for she wasn't used to it. Ever since their first meeting really. True there had been times when Ella WAS happy, when she was with Aiden mainly but there had been many when she wasn't.

She had another boyfriend? *blink* "That was a little quick wasn't it?" she asked suspiciously. Surely she WASN'T over Aiden. She was totally smitten for him. It had taken Trix quite a few Weeks months to get over Milo and she still wasn't totally over Jayce. Hang on, how come she was the only single person now? That just was not on! HMPH! She needed to find herself a new guy, one that would appreciate her and not do something to break her heart...again. "What's he like?" she asked despite her sudden suspicions. She was up to something, she could just tell. In fact, Trix didn't mind being single. She had free will to flirt with whomever she liked. And considering she would never EVER be with the one person she wished she could, that was all she could do right now.

"What grumpy mood?" she flicked her eyes over to her. She wasn't grumpy? No she was just...just... tired. That was it. The Blonde wasn't as active as she used to be and it was changing her mood dramatically. "I've been exhausted. And considering there's no Quidditch, I can't be my normal active self." Basically she had been spending a LOT of time doing homework and school work to be bothering doing anything else with her time.

"Hmm.. this is true," Aiden admitted, blowing away her hair as it fell in his face. "Gotta keep the Caribbean Princess happy," he teased, looking Rhea's way. heh. Rhea was such a sport for putting up with him. Then again... he had to endure all her ramblings about her girl problems, so maybe it evened out. Yeah.. girl ramblings were DEFINITELY worse than lame jokes.

His eyes wandered around, but backtracked when he noticed Ella out talking to Trixie. She looked so.. happy. He hadn't realized how high her spirits were with Gaspar.. He watched despondently as they chatted over across the courtyard, and it really hit him right then, a dreadful thought - Ella was over him.

ISN'T IT AMAZING? Savannah's voice broke him from his thoughts and he brought his eyes back to Rhea. "Yeah, of course, dude. We haven't been dating long or anything, so don't be so touchy," he said, poking her in the side. He laughed when Savannah snuggled up to him so tightly, so he quick squeezed her super tight before simply releasing her. Didn't want to suffocate her, right?? His eyes went back to the Hufflepuff again. "How are you and.. Jack?" He always had trouble remembering if the guy's name was Jake or Jack..

Oh, THAT was her first reaction? Not 'Awww I'm so happy for you, Ella!'? Pffft, but then again, if she DID say that, it would annoy her. Because Ella wasn't happy about her relationship with Gaspar, nor should anyone else be.
She looked around sneakily, then budged a little bit closer to Trixie. Secret telling time. Heh.

"Okay. Don't tell ANYONE this...." She started, then looked around once more. Mainly eyeing Aiden who was just a little while away. Merlin, if he knew about this, he'd hate her for sure. "He isn't a real boyfriend. I'm using him to make Aiden jealous." She whispered to her cousin with a smirk. "Kind of like when Aiden and Vanessa 'got together'." Yes, Ella was ANGRY when they did that, so why was she doing it too? Desperate times called for desperate measures, as they say.
With a shrug of her shoulders, she said, "..he's alright -" Nothing compared to Aiden. ".. A bit of a troublemaker, and a bit of a hottie." She chuckled.

Whut.
She was exhausted even though she WASN'T her active self? So, she'd gotten all tired from doing nothing all day? Riiiight. "That's a real darn shame." She said, almost sarcastically. There were more problems in life than lack of Quidditch. Like, seriously.
"Oh well, you can do it next year." If she made the team. Which reminded her, had she told Trixie that she wasn't coming back to Hogwarts next term? Hm.

Rhea's brow raised as she watched them and listened to Sav. She had to admit that the girl had a point. And she was glad to know that she was the first one to find out about them too. It was the natural order of things though right? Sav tells her bestie and Aiden tells his. She tilted her head slightly and smiled at them. They were so totally cute together! Now she understood what Sav was always on about.

But ooooh gaaaaah. She was going to have to put up with giggling Savannah and Savden pda and all that stuff but at least they were happy now. That's really all that mattered right? Her bestie was happy.

"[B]Yes it is Savm"[b/]. She moved over to squeeze in next to them on the bench and turned her attention to Aiden who seemed to be duelling with strands of Savannah's hair.

She giggled lightly. Caribbean princess? She could probably get used to that nickname. It suited her quite well if she had to say so herself.
" that is your job as my bestfrriend after all." she smiled smugly at him.

" Jack and I are fine. He hasn't busted out a snake yet or anything." she grinned and shook her head slightly. Hopefully he wouldn't ever.

Savannah smirked up at Aiden, still snuggling onto him. Snuggling in front of Rhea was F-U-N. She was going to get all cringy and be like "EW! SAVDEN!"and Savvy and Aiden were going to laugh and be all cute. That's what Savannah was thinking anyway. She was still smirking at him, her eyes shifting towards Rhea and then speaking, "Of course..."Pause."We could be mean to Rhea and force her to watch us kiss."

MWAHAHAHA!!

They were evil.

YAYERZ! She was been squeezed and cuddled! Sweet Merlin, Savannah loved this attention especially from Aiden. It still had not really clicked in her pretty little head that they were back together, she knew it but it just didn't seem real. She was still happy though, none the less.

Jack.....? As in like Jackie Wackie Poo? ZE MALE SAVANNAH CONRAD!?

ZOMG!

"YOU DATING JACKIE WACKIE??!?!?"

There was flailing, lots of it. Savvy sent a look at Aiden and then at Rhea.

"WE SHOULD LIKE GO ON DOUBLE DATES!! HE'S LIKE THE GUY VERSION OF ME! I SNOG..."Savvy stopped in mid-sentence, realizing what she was saying. Erm....oops? It probably wasn't wise to tell your friend, your boyfriend's best friend at that, that you snogged her current boyfriend.

Dumb Savvy.

Aiden scooched over to make some room for Rhea to sit. Heh. He really wasn't surprised that she appeared to like that little Caribbean Princess comment. If he remembered correctly, she suggested that he nickname her something like that last term. Pffft. As if. He nodded. Aha, so it was 'Jack,' not 'Jake. Mhmmm, instinct guesses were always right. "Glad to know that he hasn't whipped out any serpents, then." That wouldn't go over well with Rhea.

He chuckled at Savannah's suggestion. "No, we won't be that mean." That would just be rather awkward, too. Kissing while Rhea was attempting to maintain a conversation with them. Hmm... seemed like Savannah missed the memo about Rhea dating Jack. "And you were mad about us not telling you we were dating.." he mumbled. And then Savvy, of course, came up with the idea of double dates. Aiden really had no preference; if they really wanted to do it, he would. He turned to Savvy as she started to speak, then cut herself off. "Riiiight, okay." He bet Sav snogged the guy at some point, but better not speak further about that subject. If it were true, of course. It'd be hell if it came up on their 'double date,' though...

Did she seriously just get called a princess by Aiden? Jealousy surged through the blonde's veins as she pouted. "I wanna be called a princess..."She grumbled, glaring at Aiden. She deserved to be called a princess by him because well....that was what she was. Savannah Conrad was a princess. And people, especially her boyfriend should call her as well as treat her like one. The glare quickly turned into confusion as he spoke, trying to figure out exactly what Aiden was talking about...

"Whipped out serpents.....?"Savannah questioned, a brow raised. Was it like an inside joke between Rhea and Aiden. Of course, Savvy knew they were besties and all but she still felt left out. And Princess Savannah should never feel left out.

Hehhh. No snogging for Savvy in front of Rhea, Savvy pouted again but she didn't say a word. Now was not the time to worry about it. Savannah looked over at Rhea who was sitting on the opposite side of Aiden. She was smirking, "You got off lucky this time..."Cause her and Aiden were going to try not to be as cute as they normally could be.

Giggle.Giggle.Snort.Snort.

She said nothing, just looked at Rhea giggling. Savvy knew Rhea had liked Jack so it was no real surprise to her that she and Jack were together. Savs even knew Rhea liked him when she snogged him, of course Savvy had not been thinking straight during that time.

.....hopefully Rhea wouldn't catch that little slip about Jack?
