Finn smiled at Lexi, stretching his legs out infront of him. He was pretty sure that she'd be able to give him a very good tour, she was his perfect little girlfriend. "You can relax baby." He squeezed her hand again.

She didnt' seem happy, he could tell that, and he gave her a good snuggle. He had a feeling that she really wanted him to tell her what she'd said, and in some circumstances he really would've but he couldn't lie like that to Lexi. "Lex.." He sighed, pulling her a little closer. "I could lie to you and tell you that you're my soul mate. But I really don't think that would help our situation anymore." He kissed her cheek. Maybe he should've said something? Maybe it would've made her feel better. He rested his fingers on her chin, making her look at him. "All that matters baby is that I like you so much, and nothing is going to change that."

Lexi smiled softly and TRIED to relax a little as he said that. She was always worried that she wasn't enough for him and that he could do better. Sigh. She would TRY to be more relaxed.

He didn't think she was his soul mate. Hmmm. Oh well. She might be wrong. She smiled sadly at him and said, "That is fine, Finlay. You don't feel the same, okay. I care a lot for you as well." That was really all she could say to him right that moment. Sigh.

Wait. Did he say that he didn't feel the same? Finn pulled away from her a little. "Lex...I didn't say that." Yes. He wasn't sure if she was his soul mate. He was allowed to think that, he was confused about all of his feelings, and he was pretty sure he didnt have to find his soul mate when he was only 15.

"I do feel the same Lex." He sighed, resting his hands on his lap. Meh. He'd never been this emotional before. "I just don't know how to express it." He looked at her, smiling. She would understand right? He really hoped she did. "Do you want me to leave you alone for a bit?" He had a feeling that she probably didn't want to talk to him right now.

"Of course I don't want you to leave me alone. Gah, Finn. I said I understand that you don't feel the same about the soulmate thing. It's fine really," she said softly. She KNEW she shouldn't have said that to him. She was such an idiot sometimes! "Look, just forget that I said anything about soulmates. That was a stupid thing to say. I care about you, you care about me. We are on the same page," she said with an odd tone to her voice.

She wasn't sure how Finlay was going to react but she leant over and whispered in his ear what she really wanted. Pulling back a bit she kissed him gently on the cheek and waited for him to respond.

Finn groaned. He really could not say anything right could he? And now she was regretting saying it. "No Lexi. It was not stupid." He pulled away from her a little, turning to face her, looking very serious. "I want to know how you feel." He assured her, squeezing her hand gently. "Because it will help me understand about how I feel." He was a guy, this was all new too him. "I don't want you to upset yourself over this Lex....please don't." Because he would've felt very guilty.

She wanted what? He stared at her for a second, before smiling warmly, pulling her into a big hug. "Are you sure my love?" He asked. That had made him very happy.

Lexi nodded her head slightly and tried to give Finlay a little smile. She still regretted having said what she said, but for his sake she would keep it to herself now. "I am not upset, Finlay. Not at all," she said.

Now she smiled brighter and scooted closer to Finlay and nodded seriously. "More than I have ever wanted anything. I am sure. Maybe we could really take that holiday to Paris and spend time alone there," she said as she touched his face lightly. Smiling a tiny little smile right before she touched her lips to his .

Dylan ran a hand through his hair. His hands shifted to his sweater, then down to his trousers. He was slightly shifty. He hadn't spent so long in a room in his life. And it had made him slightly nervous. That woman could pounce on him at any moment. That was why he was outside. He wasn't going to be going inside for a long time. A loooong long time. He shook his head from side to side to correct his fringe. It wasn't quite sitting right. Thankfully the shake sorted it out. As he opened his eyes, he spotted a blonde sitting by the tree. She was sitting rather cosily with a lad Dylan didn't know.

No punching Denver. She won't like you for it. Plus that witch might pounce. He put on a rather false smile and headed in their direction. "Hey Lex," he said, rather awkwardly. He didn't care if he was interrupting. Brothers should always take president. Especially slightly nervous, awkward looking brothers.

"Good." Finn smiled at her, he didn't want her to be upset. He would've been a pretty lousy boyfriend if he kept upsetting her all the while. He gave her hand another squeeze before speaking again. "You will tell me if you're upset right?" Because then he could help.

He grinned at her, wrapping his arm around her shoulders. "I'd like that." He nodded, smiling now. Spending some of the holiday with her would be pretty epic. "You should ask you're parents, and then I can book us a suite at a hotel." Because it would be cute. Mmmm. Kisses again. That obviously meant that things were better. He could've sworn he heard someone say Lex's name. But he was a little distracted by her lips right now.

Lexi simply nodded her head and kissed him more deeply. She was sure that a holiday in Paris with Finlay would rival any romantic movie any day. She was so excited that she couldn't wait to owl her mum and dad and tell them her plans. They would have to let her go... If not she would go anyway. She was not letting them or Dylan stand in the way of her being with Finlay.

And speaking of Dylan...

Groaning internally Lexi reluctantly removed her lips from Finlay's and turned to look at her brother. He had PERFECT timing as usual. Gah. He looked... weird. She fought the urge to roll her eyes and said, "Hey Dylan. Glad to see you are out of detention." She snuggled into Finlay just for spite and giggled. "Oh... have you met my baby? This is Finn." Smirk.

Ewwwww kissing. Deep breath. Deeeeeep breath. He closed his eyes to keep himself calm. If he couldn't see it didn't have to be there. He gritted his teeth. He wasn't angry he was happy, calm Dylan. He opened his eyes again as she spoke to him. "Hmmm yeah. I guess." Her baby? She had a baby!!!!!!! What? Since when had she been......ohhhhhh. "Nice to meet you Finn." He offered his hand to the lad. At least he could be polite. Ad now knew this kid's name. He could find out info. Well no he couldn't. But he could try.

Ginny sighed and gulped her throat. It was almost like Bradin was some sort of spirit to her now, since he was gone. "How do you know Justin wouldn't care? He cares about everyone", she repiled to him. "That's all he wants to do is get to the people he hates", she added. Ginny's life was getting worse and worse, with Bradin gone.

Finn would need to ask his parents too, he thought as he kissed her back. They'd let him go, after meeting her of course, but that wasn't a problem. He was generally allowed to do whatever he liked, just as long as he didn't get into too much trouble.
Aww. She was pulling away. How unfair. Oh and talking to that dude. So this was Dylan? Interesting. He'd been expecting a punch from him really, it was a little disappointing. He smiled as Lexi, snuggling into him, and he kissed her forehead, before standing up, so that he could shake Dylan's hand.

"Nice to meet you." Well not really, but it was better than telling him to go away so he could kiss Lexi.

Lexi eyed Dylan as if to warn him to be nice or else. Lexi then giggled a little a Finn and stodd up as he did. She hoped Dylan didn't try anything stupid like punching Finn as he had Jake. Meh that would not be a good idea. She just watched the two and snuggled up to Finlay and smiled at Dylan.

"So how was detention, Dyl. Lot's happened since you have been there," she said as she entwined her fingers with Finn's.

Dylan smiled as Finn took his hand. He tightened his grip on the younger boy's hand, as a slight warning. He knew that he couldn't punch Finn, so squeezing his hand to death was the next option. The warning, be nice to her, or I will punch you.

"Detention was meh. The librarian was trying to teach me a lesson, no idea what. She brought in Myrtle, that obssessive girl ghost. She thinks I am now her boyfriend apparently. So yeah, it was kinda meh." He really hadn't learnt anything. "Stay away from the library. That woman is a real hag. She has banned me for life."

"What's happened?" He had been in detention like ages.

Woah. That guy had a tight handshake. Well Finn had already figured out that he was probably trying to scare him. It was not going to work. He smiled, taking his hand back, bfeore he leaned over to whisper something to Lexi. "I think he just tried to break my hand." He found it quite amusing really. He could totally take Dylan, or he'd just let the guy attempt to punch him, and then get him in detention again. It would be easy after he'd already got detention much.

He glanced down at Lexi, smiling at her. She really made him happy, and Dylan wasn't going to scare him off. "I'm sure she's really not a hag. I don't think they'd let hags near children." He smirked a little. He had a feeling Lexi knew of one hag.

"Oh Finlay and I spent a good bit of time in the library recently and we had no problems. How odd," she said as she snuggled Finlay some more. "Oh you know... I broke up with Jake, started dating Finn, almost got detention, had an argument with some chick I like to refer to as Slytherinzilla... the usual," she said nonchalantly.

Lexi gave Dylan the death glare as Finn whispered in her ear. She would get him back later. Grrr. Giggling she leaned up and whispered, "He thinks I am a baby that needs protecting. But I have you to protect me if anything happens and we both know I am no baby." SHe kissed him on the cheek and giggled again.

"Yeah, hags aren't allowed around children, Dylan. Gah." she said exaperatedly and thought about the one person she considered a hag. Meh.

Dylan sighed. "Ummm great. Sounds like you had some fun Lexi. At least you didn't get detention. That would've been a bad thing." Yep. But it would've been nice to have had her in detention with him. "Did they pick the champions?" That was what he wanted to know. Had he been picked?

"She wouldn't let me in the Restricted Section." That made her a hag!!!

Finn laughed at what she said, and he kissed her cheek. "Nope. My Lexi is not baby." He whispered to her, giving her hand a squeeze. He'd learned to not call her little, because it really didn't do him any favours. She wasn't even that little really, but he would be protecting her against anything. That was what he was there for right?

"And especially not near pretty girls." He smirked. Okay he was totally asking for a punch, but he did find it quite amusing. Dylan wasn't exactly protecting Lexi from him really. "You were trying to get in the restricted section?"

Courtney sighed. "Ginny, I'm an 11 year old girl crushing on her 14 year old cousin and I have no chance of a relationship with him. I'm too chicken to tell him" she replied. She was scared of his reaction. "Indeed he does but Uncle Marcus put him in his place" said Courtney.

LExi smiled as she snuggled her boyfriend just to spite Dyl a little and then replied, "Yeah I don't want detention. And yes, they picked the Champions, Dylan. Sorry." She frowned and patted his shoulder because she knew he had wanted to be a champion really badly.


Lexi giggled and swatted playfully at Finlay. He was so precious. Heheh. Then she turned to Dyl and said, "Yeah, what the bloody hell wee you doing trying to get into the restricted section?"

Dylan's face fell. He wanted to be a champion. He looked at the floor, rather upset. "Great," he said, rather defeatedly. This tournament was the only reason he had come back to school. He could've started WADA early.

Dylan nodded, "I wanted to read up on human transfiguration. I went up to the desk and asked, it wasn't like I just entered. She said I need a teacher's pass or something. I told her I was 18, she was having none of it." Hence why she was a hag. Stupid hag.

Katie sat down at the whomping willow, she wanted to get a good look at it so she could draw it, the only thing is it was more likely she would get hurt, Katie sat don and started to draw.

It was a stupid analogy but it made sense. She was a chocolate chip cookie.

"Do you want another?" She asked randomly. There weren't any bloody fancy soufflé's around. However, that cake he'd brought with him looked hella fancy.

Oh man.. she really was crazy.

Owww! She squirmed away from him, poking out her tongue. Cookie or not, she still loved him and he'd said he loved her. Shouldn't that be enough?
"I am actually growing to like you.. slowly. It's a trying process, babe." She grimaced apologetically and then laughed. "I'd protect you," She joked with a wink. Oh for deffz. The red head was hella intimidating against a 50ft willow tree.



Could they just STOP talking about the bloody cookies? She handed him the box. "Have some." And that was sort of a new topic..
URGH.. "Thanks.. there's a bit too much sugar.." But she stopped herself. What was that proverb thingymabob? Silence is shiny? .. No wait.. Silence is golden! Twas the shizz. And the dude that thought that up was right on.
A dance? For the cookies? "You don't have to go quite that far.." He wasn't gagging or anything so they couldn't be that bad.

PSH. Cameron pouted. "I'm niiiiiiiiiice toooooooo!' Heh. But he made a fair point. She did always go in there when she was feeling crappeh and she always made a mess.. and she never cleaned it up.
And anyway.. "I don't scowl all the time, Oliver!" *scowls*

Bah. Firsties. Kyute ickle things. "What's the shifty face for?" She asked innocently. She wouldn't tell, right? HEH.
But she didn't understand why HE all of a sudden was acting so blasé about it. "I wouldn't tell them." *angelface*

She pouted at him as he laughed and jabbed him in the ribs. "Pffffffft! You better watch it, boi." Squishy. Fat. Same chit.
But he was squishing and she giggled. "Gerrof mee," She swatted at him. He was so biiiiiiiiiiig. "You've grown," She commented, eyeing off his long arms and biiiig hands. He was suuu tall.

And he was so adorable. Eyes closed and looked utterly angelic, he looked extremely innocent. Oh, how deceiving. Laughing softly, she rolled her eyes.

Oh. THANKS. She poked her tongue out. "Whatever. I'm not changing. I'm not photogenic. I don't LIKE photo's." But whoever Oliver was getting this weird 'photosoulstealing' shizz from was MIGHTY weird.
"Is that cos they just think I'm the crazy girl?" She wondered when that label would unstick. It was getting slightly tedious. "I'm not actually crazy.." She mumbled. You didn't see her talking to trees and hoarding cats.

Yet.

She laughed brightly. "That was waaaaaaaaaaaaay too deep, babe." Captures her spirit? All people would see was flaming red hair and a scowl. Oh how delightful.

It wasn't a good sign when you 'joked' about dying, and your boyfriend sort of hesitated. She flicked him. "Will you stop it? You're worse than Lori.." And said Glitterpuff had been screaming about death at the top of her lungs. Mega awkward for Cam.
Oh.. and he wouldn't hate her if she DID die. "Thanks. It makes a world of difference to me when I'm pushing daisies whether or not you harbour feelings of hate towards me. REALLY, thanks." Sarcastic even about death. This girl was really something else.

She frowned at him a bit, her grimace pulling at the sides. She didn't like this side of their conversations. The overly intense sides. They usually lead to Cam's defensive and catty behavior and she didn't like that side of HERSELF.
"But .. doesn't really matter now. I have to prove it to the whole school." Who would respectively watch her fail. How fun that would be.. >.<


"Baaaaaaabe, you've got to tell me when I start sounding like Brodin." Budgeting. WTF. Cameron couldn't even manage her own wages let alone a household. Hehehe. Trixie. "Do you reckon if we gave her water and fed her occasionally we could lock her in a room just to do our homework?" Trixie would finish her NEWTS with more than flying colours. She'd probably get dux of the year.

She curled up, her knee's and hands pushing her hair over her face as she hid. "NUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!" She didn't LIKE being in photos. *pouttttttttt* Even this pretend one. His mum? No comment on that one.

That actually sounded like a good idea. "You can do the talking. He doesn't like me very much." Then again, he'd asked her twice to move away from the staff table and she'd just stoood there gawking at Professor Zookara. Awkward..

Sammy rushed down the grass, she wanted some action shots of THIS TREE! Her camera swinging gently around her neck. Jumping off a rock she noticed someone a little further away, KATIE! "Hey Katie!" she called waving, before ducking a branch that came swinging at her. "this may be harder than I first thought" she muttered, before retreating back to the large rock she had jumped off, and climbing back on top of it. Making sure not to hit her camera.

Katie looked up from her drawing, there was Sammy, she needed to talk to her, just them though, no one else, sister to sister.

"Hey Sammy" Katie said smiling as she got up and gave her big sis a hug.

"How are you? Anything interesting happen?" Katie asked, she liked to hear what was happening, Katie knew all the gossip so she needed to know what was happening.

Katie thought of how to ask Sammy about this, Sammy knew about these things because she was older, well, thats what Katie thought "Sammy, can I ask you something?" Katie said.
