Sapphie warmed up quickly to this idea, and hoped that Adeline would get the small hint. She didn't like when she was all giggly around Adam, it made her mad because she was Team Adrumi, hehe.

Adam tried whisking away Adeline. But she seemed intent on staying. He gave her a begging look then maybe she would get the idea. The owlery was far enough for Adeline to go, find out there was nothing there, get mad at Adam , never come back and confront him later for having her walk all that way."Please, Adeline- I can't do it cuz I have detention later."he wanted to mention that for no reason at all. He was kinda laughing at how he had gotten one already.

"What do you have detention for?" she said with a raised eyebrow, glaring a little at Adeline for staying put. Could this girl move?

"The teacher asked us in class if we could or wanted to share one of my dreams so I mentioned the one about Katie Kurumi and I...Obviously I didn't say their names...An some other older Gryffie said his dream and how his shoe got syrup all over it...Then I said to basically stop crying over it and check if his shoes were nice and white...I thought house points, but the Professor has had to deal with so much he just gave me a detention for being rude...I don't know why, but I find it so funny cuz I NEVER get detetions..."He recounted the story.

She laughed at his story and put a hand on his shoulder.
"Nice, Adam." she said, still laughing.

"I know." he laughed quite a lot now."I wonder what's gonna happen to me? Will they torture me by showing me math , hahaha, or will they let me go insane from the boredom of the detention room...God, what a THRILL!"He said shaking her arms .... WHy was he so happy????

"M-mom said Dad needed to change his attitude towards you guys or she was getting the papers in a heartbeat." Siobian whaled, " Dad told her to go get them because he would never let go what your dad told him go.

Annabel walked out towards the whomping willow looking for people to make her friends

Maybe she should smack him for that comment. Maybe. Just maybe she wanted to be romanced. Nah. It took too much effort on both parties and then the other one expected something more and on and on it went. No Mia and Finn were just fine as they were. Friends. No strings and lots of snogging. Couldn't get any better than that. But she couldn't help but have a dig at him. "That's probably because he has no idea how to romance a girl anyway." She giggled softly and bumped her shoulder with him again. Not that Mia would have any idea if she was being romanced anyway.

Ah yes playing the girlfriend in front of the parentals. That had actually been fun. Mia did worry though what would happen if his parents found out that they had lied to them? She actually liked Finn's family and she didn't want them to think any less of her. "Hmm, okay." And then a thought occurred to her and she laughed. "Which means you will have to romance me Finlay." Hehe. That will probably kill him. "You think your mum will let me stay? Maybe she would just like to have the family there for Christmas." Although Mia did make a very good babysitter for his sisters.

Rebel? Well she wouldn't say that exactly. "It was for a good cause you know?" Only she didn't know how good for the cause she was going to be if she was in jail. At the mention of Azkaban, Mia actually shuddered. "No I don't want to end up in there."

Finn stuck his tongue out at her before laughing. She did have a point though. Finn had never romanced a girl before, and he really had no idea how to do it. He was pretty sure though that if he ever did decide to romance a girl that it wouldn't be a good idea to go around snogging lots of other girls, he didn't think that would go down too well. That would be a big change, so he hoped he didn't want to romance any girls any time soon. "Well she'll have to wait and see won't she." He assured Mia with a big nod. Did he even want to romance Mia? He didn't think so, he was quite happy with just snogging her, she was pretty good at it.

"Nope...I don't have to romance you Mia." He smirked at her, giving her a little squeeze. "You're already my girlfriend....meaning I must have already romanced you." He grinned, giving her a look. "I just have to make sure I pretend that I actually like you when my parents are around." Any other time he didn't have too. Well he would anyway, but he was only playing with her. "Mia...my mum really likes you." It gave his mother an excuse to actually be happy for once. "She'll want you to come." She'd be happy that Finn had actually managed to stay friends with a girl.

"Yeah...and that's why you nearly ended up in jail?" He gave her a puzzled look before shrugging. He didn't really care to be honest, it didn't bother him. He didn't miss her shuddering, and he smiled softly. "You're too nice to ever end in there."

Ginny had looked at all the make-up she had still. Phew, that was a fair bit. "Well, I'm a third year, Gryffindor", she said to Courtney. Ginny was shocked. This was crazy. "He's still... still... alive... isn't he?", she asked struggling. She took the photos that Courtney had given to her. They were beautiful. She remember the memories. She smiled at Courtney.

Courtney smiled half-heartedly. "Nice" she said. She looked at Ginny as she took the photo's and said the next sentence. She looked at the floor and threw her make-up in her bag. "I'm sorry. He passed away a week ago. I thought Justin sent you an owl telling you about it but obviously he didn't" she replied. Either that or the stupid owl got lost on the way.

Running like crazy, Daisy talked Annabel down on the ground and laughed. "Hhhhhheeeelllllllooooooo Annabel!" She laughed and got up and smiled. "So how are you?"

Ginny didn't look a Courtney for a little while, though she had to at some stage. She looked at the photo again and heard what Courtney had to say. "A week ago? No one could of told me, not even Justin. I've been keeping contact with him and he hasn't had any time to write to me? How did Bradin... go? It wasn't from that curse that he had on his body, was it?", she told Courtney in a mouthgul.

Courtney put her hand on Ginny's shoulder. "We've all struggled to come to terms with it ourselves. It hit Justin, Nikki and Uncle Marcus like a bomb. I swear they would've told you. We just couldn't bring ourselves" she explained. That was understandable, right? "The curse killed him, he died in Uncle Marcus' arms" she explained.

Ginny could feel Courtney's hand on her shoulder. For a Slytherin she was very kind hearted. "I can understand that, I guess. It would of been hard for everyone who was close to him", she repiled to Courtney. She was willing to tell Courtney how much she loved Bradin. "That would of been sad for Marcus. His own father", she said. She took a deep breath. "I loved him more than ever", she told her. Those were her true feelings for him.

"HEYY!!!!!!!" Annabel hugged Daisy tightly. "I am great now that you're here! How about you?"

"It hit Nikki and Uncle Marcus more. Bt Justin had his fair share of tears. Just a pity he's so suicidal now though. Do you think you could do me a really big favour?" said Courtney. Hmm. Maybe it'd work. Not to mention she sorta had feelings for Justin. Feelings that were kind of forbidden since they were related. But not by blood. By marriage. "It did but we helped each other get through it" she said. Courtney smiled at what Ginny said next. "He loved you a insane amount" she said. But those feelings had gone once he started dating Enya and Ginny knew that. She hoped so anyway.

The Whomping Willow wasn't exactly on the top of Aiden's list of where he liked to wander around. Not that the boy had such a list. But sometimes his feet led him in random directions that didn't quite correspond with his brain. But, oh well. Here he was, so he might as well make himself comfortable. He took a seat on the grass, far enough away from the tree that no flying limbs would come thwacking his way. He got enough beatings from Hogwarts girls and he didn't need anymore. He plucked at a few of the blades of grass and tossed them aside.

Rhea normally saved her visits to the whomping willow for when she's upset or sad or something, because it always made her feel better when she tossed rocks at it and it thwacked them back, but today she really just wanted to sit and watch the tree thwack birds instead. She was in such a good mood, it was crazy. But she loved it because it had been so long since she was. She got close enough to the tree and stopped, there was a familiar head of ruffled brown hair. She would know that head anywhere.
"AIDEN!!!!" She threw herself on the sitting boy, tumbling them both over, then she squished him in a hug just because. When she had enough squishing of le bestie she let go and sat up, then attempted to brush grass from both their hairs.

LikeWHOA. Aiden was suddenly tackled to the ground by some random force. The voice gave it away, though, and he grinned as he finally sat up. "Someone's in a good mood," he remarked, eying her for a moment. Maybe her luck had improved with that guy she liked.

He waited until she gathered herself and brushed away some strays blades of grass, then finally spoke again. "Well....? What's got you so happy?" Let's see if his guess was right.........

Rhea grinned at Aiden as she finished brushing the blades of grass away. She was totally thrilled to see her best friend and uber excited to tell him about everything that was going on with her. The last time they spoke she was really out of it and bummed, but now things were certainly turning around.
"Ha, yes I am, finally. I was so fed up with being mopey." She said running her fingers through her loose curls. Sh switched shampoos too, to that strawberry smelling one Jack seemed to like so much.

"Jack asked me to be his girl friend!!" she said excitedly. She was still giddy with excitement.
"And I finally broke my kissing drought.He's soo awesome Ai." But then ehr smile fell. She was going on about herself when she hadn't even asked him if he was ok.
"How are you doing? and you better not keep anything from me." She glared at him.

Aiden smiled. He was glad to see that Rhea was so exuberant, even if he was feeling quite the opposite. But he really didn't want to be a downer, so he did very well in acting all happy. And he was, of course. He was happy for her.

Whuuut?! A wide grin suddenly broke out upon Aiden's face. "He did? Sweet! I'm really happy for you, Rhea." Hah. He could only imagine just how excited she was about this. Well... her expression was evidence enough. "When did he ask you? And I'm sure he's a good guy if you like him," he nodded. The girl had been going on about this Jack guy for ages now, so hearing that they were finally together was great news.

When she directed the question at him, he smile waned slightly. "I'm all right." Hah. Yeah. Riiight. "Ella and I broke up," he admitted, glumly. Though he couldn't ask for sympathy from anyone. It was his fault. Entirely. "But let's not linger on that.. so, it's about time you get a new boyfriend, other than the Snake Man." Hehhh.

"There all close to him. Justin and Bradin were like brothers, but they were cousins. What do you want me to do for you?", she repiled to Courtney. Ginny was hoping that this wasn't going to be hard but she was willing to do it for Courtney. "That's what everyone would do when the lose a loved one", she said. "I know he did, but once he started dating Enya, I thought he loved her more", she told her sadly.

Salander sat up, grinning like an fool on too much happy juice. The world was still spinning for him, as he could still feel the after effects of Willow Riding and careening through the air like a paper airplane. He could barely make out what Jimbo was telling him and was somewhat pulled back to his senses with the clap on his back. Did Jimbo just call him a lunatic? "AWESOME!!!" he replied grinning. Yup happy juice still making things blurry uh-huh.

Salander looked on as Jimbo walked up to the Whomping Willow-- or rather danced towards it, at least thats how Salander was seeing it. Jimbo is dancing at the Willow.... and was he rapping? chanting? Salander shook his head to try to get some of his senses back-- which messed it up even worse. Now Jimbo looked like he was was doing a musical, and the angry Willow looked like it wanted to take up Jimbo as a dance partner. Salander continued to watch on through his faulty senses until he could unmistakably see that the Willow wanted to give Jimbo a dance dip but instead sent the boy flying right over Salander's head.

And kept flying... and flying... and flying.

And landed.... almost on the other side of the school.

Salander wobbled his way towards Jimbo. He was laughing like a hyena as he came up to his friend and pulled him by his shoulder "Dude, song and dance number with the Willow? That was some sick move!...."

.... and sick Jimbo was-- all over Salander's shirt.

Huh.
