Jamie found herself wandering down the fourth floor corridor. She was looking downward, not knowing where her feet were taking her. She looked up and out a window and saw all the trees that were ever so colorful. She loved October but most of all she loved Halloween.

Sophie was slightly taken back when Sebastian started talking about their Ancient Runes lesson and her sneezing. She went along with it though and said sighing "Ancient Runes was indeed amusing and fun. The sneezing not so much though, since it meant that I had to do my runes carving all over again." The Gryffindor had enjoyed Professor Truebridges class but Runes had certainly been more difficult than she had expected going into it. Learning two different carving methods had taken its bit of concentration.

Sebastian put the pin in the chest when he made the observation that she and Evan had a situation which they needed to sort out. He was right of course. Sophie hoped that she was more to Evan than just a ‘friend’ but that wasn’t something she was going to discuss with Evan here. No it was too public and besides she wanted to know before she got her hopes up or even dreamed about it. Did Evan have a girlfriend or was he single? Sophie stole a long glance at Evan before saying to Sebastian "We are definitely going to sort things out. But we are as Evan just said just friends, nothing more." The words felt inadequate somehow since she had grown to like Evan very much even if it was only on a friend basis.

Some minutes later Evan got into a bit of a speech of the purpose of football and Sophie felt awfully silly. Not knowing how to smooth things over she asked hoping that her friend would get over her ignorance. "Can’t you teach me how to play? I’d like to learn. I might not be the best at it though since my brother said that I can’t shoot straight." And it seemed that her ignorance also ranged over to the action category of books and she hated that.

Sophie kept herself from pouting or putting on a stubborn face since it was all of her own doing. The science fiction book seemed interesting. Her curiosity was peeked "Science fiction is that about outer space, aliens and imaginary worlds?" Her mind couldn’t though leave the need she had Evan had to talk. It seemed like they had to straight several things out before they could continue being friends or more. The brunette had a feeling in the pit of her stomach that it was going to get emotional.

Selina smiled at him, "I think that someone like Fee... is worth the risk. Don't you?"

"Yeah- she does keep him quite occupied." Although Adam was more predisposed with other matters as of late.

"No, I don't think so. She's too special to lose," he told Selina. Seriously, he was going to lose Adam too. He would have noone left.

Jaina walked down the corridor and spotted 2 people chatting. "Excuse me, is this the way to the library?" Her eyes fell onto the boy and girl. Hmm, everyone seems to have someone here. she thought. "It's pretty crowded outside and in our common room. The first year dorm in my house is pretty full, too, so I was hoping to find the library so I could read my book." She smiled warmly hoping that one of them would help her out.

"Hi there," he said nicely. "Yeah, it's just straight ahead and you'll see in on your left," Hugo told the girl. "What house are you in?"

Jaina smiled brightly. "Thank you. OH! Where are my manners? I'm sorry." She held out her hand to the young man. "Hi, my name is Jaina. I'm a first year Hufflepuff. This school is too big sometimes." she giggled a bit then noticed the books he was carrying. "I see I'm not the only one here who likes to read. Can you recommend anything good I can read after Much Ado About Nothing?" She thought she said too much, but he seemed extremely nice.

Selina was taken aback by his response. She had not expected such a blunt answer from the timid Ravenclaw. Trying to compose herself she continued, "I don't think you'll ever lose her. And when you get older and look back at this time don't you want to not ever think 'what if'? If I had the chance to be with someone I knew that I had a special connection with I would risk it all. Because you only get something special if you are wiling to fight for it. And trust me- this is a fight you will win." Selina said the last part under her breath. She knew from Fee that the feelings were mutual. But she would not be the one to reveal said feelings. The two needed to work it out together.

Facepaaalm. Of course Fee knew. Then again, that didn't really surprise Ellie. Detective fee knew everything. And of cooourse, Fee wouldn't tell her what Alex had planned. Hmph. "Yeah, yeah. Alex would probably kill you... And surprises are always fun." A smile tugged at her lips. "Thanks, Fee. I'm glad we're friends." She said, giving the blonde a kind smile and a nudge in the arm.

Ellie began laughing along with Fee. "Yeah, I guess we do." We also get kicked out of class. "But lets hope it doesn't happen again, huh?" She chuckled. Even Ravenclaws play dirty.

Hugo sighed. Selina was right. But Hugo didn't know anything about... Girls.
"But... How do I tell her?" he asked. Was kinda weird asking a girl about that but he really had no idea.
Stupid nerd that hasn't ever had a crush on someone before 'e was.
Yeah... Hugo wasn't really good at fighting. Unless it was verbal fighting. Or duelling.

"I'm Hugo," he said, shaking the girl's hand. "Yeah, it's the Ravenclaw gene," he nodded.
He had read that book. Muggle art. "That's a muggle book. I would read some wizarding material if I were you. Much better. If you haven't already, I would start out with the basics, for example, A History of Magic- though you will learn about that in HoM, Quidditch Through the Ages and Fantastic Beasts and where to find them. If you want some fiction, I can't help you out very well. I generally read non-fiction," he told the girl. Phew, that was a long story.

Jaina laughed. "I generally read fiction. Though I guess now that I'm here, I should read the non-fiction stuff. Maybe that's a Hufflepuff gene." She smiled gently. She remembered that he was there with the other girl. "Um, I guess I should let you get back to your girlfriend. It was nice meeting you, Hugo. Maybe you can show me some of those books you were talking about another time if you're not too busy reading them." She teased him on the last one. He seemed to know books like she did. "Oh, and if you want to give fiction a try, you're more than welcome to borrow my book." She smiled and hoped that maybe she would see him again because he was extremely nice.

Girlfriend? "Uh, no, she isn't my girlfriend," he told Jaina. She was actually the girl who was going to help him get a girlfriend... Though Hugo wasn't at all sure what advice she would give to him. "Yeah, we can go to the library some time," he told Jaina. And then a little imaginary light bulb appeared above his head. "Ooh, the tales of beadle the bard," he told her. "If you're muggleborn-" which she probably was, considering she read Shakespeare, "-your parents probably won't have introduced you to these fairytales," he said. "Every wizarding child has read them," he nodded. He could borrow her book? That was so nice of her! Hugo really liked this firstie he did. "Thanks, I'll make sure to add that to the list," he winked.

Anna was bustling off to class. She'd be late. She just KNEW it. Then she heard a popping noise...like a stitch breaking. Then more. And her books, quills, ink and parchment fell out. Oh no! She'd be even later then usual! She sighed and leaned down to pick her stuff up.

"Oh, my apologies. I figured since you two were together that you were...well...together," she blushed a bit. "I'll definitely have to see if they have a copy of that. If not, I guess I'm owling the 3rd hand book store." she giggled a bit. "Your welcome. I guess I'll see you around some time, then." she blushed with a smile once more and headed off in the direction of the library. He was such a nice young man that she hoped she would run into him again.

Awwww that was soooo cute of Ellie to say."I am glad too",she nodded,"you're amazing."And that wasnt even a lie.Fee was really happy that she was the girl Alex had his eyes on.They would make such a cool ccouple and besides that the ravie was a great friend."hooooow did your date go?",the blonde asked more than excited to get all the informations unfortunately she hadnt seen Alexi after it so Ellie had to suffer from her curiousity now.Hehe.


"Ravenclaws get kicked out of classes?",the Slytherin laughed,"what a pity i've never had the pleasure to see that."Even the itellegent people seemed to play tricks sometimes.Hah,good to know."Weelll i hope some ravie comes up with an evil plan",the second year chuckled,"would love to see a smart one play different."Oh yes, maybe she could learn something.Hehe.

He was asking her for girl advice? She was not the used to giving out that kind of advice. Sure, she had been a therapist to everyone's problems and tried to help them sort them out, but date advice? Why her? What made her so wise that everyone seemed to be coming to her in flocks for advice. She was only a first year!

Biting down on her lip she answered, "I think you need to think about Fee. How did you two meet? What is important to both of you? What kind of girl is she? Would she like a grand display or something sweet and comfortable? You know her best... that's why you want to date her. So think, what about her makes you happy? And when you can answer that question you'll know how you want to do it. Don't think generic, think genuine."

She finished and smiled to herself. That was the best advice she could give. A million scenarios raced through her head, but he knew what was Fee and Hugo. And only he could determine what would continue to be them as they stepped into a new part of their relationship.

Ellie smiled widely. Fee thought she was amazing? "You really think so?" Wow. That was extemely nice of her to say. "Thank you Fee, that really means a lot. Y'know, you're amazing yourself." She said, smiling kindly at her friend. She was glad to have her as a friend. And as Alex's BFF.

She laughed nervously. "Oh, uh... Only the best Ravenclaws get kicked out." She said, looking away. "Also, their name has to be Ellie Johanson." She muttered. Yup. Ellie Johanson got kicked out of class.

OOC: Alex and Ellie technically haven't finished their date yet, so I'm just ignoring that for now. ^_^

"Owling the 3rd hand book store?" Hugo said shock. "Trust me, they'll have it in the library," he told Jaina. No one would want to sell this piece of magic. This book would stay in the family for centuries.
"Yes, probably in the library," he smiled. "Bye!" he said and waved at her when she walked off.

Merlin's beard. Hugo may be a Ravenclaw, but that answer took some time to calculate. How did we meet? Well at the very first flying lesson of course. What is important? Err, quidditch? What kind of girl is she? This took Hugo some mental time. Well she's a Slytherin, but she's also very nice. And pretty. And what about her makes him happy? Oh god. Her... Sweetness? Was it bad that Hugo didn't really know the answer to this question? He just... Really really liked her. They didn't really have anything in common either. Hugo now wasn't entirely sure if they were even "meant to be". Oh yeah, back to Selina. "So... I ask her on a date. Then what?" Hugo still had no clue on how this dating stuff worked. Were you supposed to tell her about how you feel BEFORE the date or AT the date? Why did everyone expect everything would work itself out? And why did it happen to everyone but Hugo? And why couldn't he just be more romantic and less awkward?

Awww Ellie was such a sweetie."Ahhh stop or else i am going to blush",Fee giggled.This year was beginning amazing,they would have so much fun. Who would have though that making friends was so easy?!Everything seemed to be at Hogwarts.

Nooooo waaaaay, did the blonde understand that the right way?!"You got kicked out?",she laughed trying to breathe,"what class?"Nooo why did the girl always miss the fun? Did they attend other classes? Meeeeh, potions or herbology could really need a cheer up."Of course only the cool and smart ravies get kicieked out",she winked,"too much intellegence in one room."Yup some teachers just couldnt handle that.hehe.

"You wait to see if she says yes. And then if she does, nothing changes. She is still Fee and you are still Hugo. Just at that point your relationship would have a different title. Don't stress over the details. Just be happy at that point that you have her. She is wonderful and you know that. So stay calm." Selina said. She was quite the therapist as of late. Why everyone was seeking her for advice she could not answer. But she had to admit she was getting quite good at the advice giving part.

Ellie laughed with Fee. The blonde was so adorable when she giggled. This year was going to be fantastic with all her friends. The year had already started out great.

Except for Charms. Ellie sighed. "Charms. But really, it was just a misunderstanding." She waved her hand vaguely. She laughed. "That's right. I'm cool" She winked at Fee. "I'm such a rebel. There was too much intelligence in that room, I needed to make room for others to be as brilliant as me." She said jokingly with a laugh.

Hmmmm. Good ideas. Good-I-Deas. "Well... I think I'm going to look for Fee now," he told Selina. "Thank you for the advice," he said. He felt quite sad for wanting to tell her because he would probably ruin the best friendship he ever had. But he couldn't go on like this right? Sighhhh. He walked away and waved at Selina.

Selina smiled at Hugo as he left. Whatever happened between him and Fee they would bother be fine. Their friendship was strong and they cared a lot for each other- that much was obvious.

"Good luck!" She called after Hugo.

Fee raised her eyebrows at the Ravie."A misunderstanding?",the blonde chuckled.Of course Ellie was the total goody girl and the baaad baaad teacher. Giggle.Snort."I kinda liked the water baloons",the girl smirked.Getting your friends soaked was sooo funny,especially their faces when they got hit.Hehe.

And then the Slytherin started laughing like an idiot.Really? Alex and Ellie made the perfect couple."Ohhh thats soo nice of you Ellie",she tried to breathe,"i know how you feel.Sometimes there just isnt enough space for so much awesomeness. But then again there is no one so awesome."Who needed the space then?! Pffff.

She gave Fee a half-smile. "Okay, so it wasn't really a misunderstanding. I just...wasn't having a good day, I wasn't paying attention and I sort of snapped at Descoteaux... But we got things settled the next day so there's no hard feelings or anything like that." She nodded. And thank goodness too. It would've sucked to go to class like that everyday... Ellie sighed. "I bet the water balloon fight was fun! Too bad I missed it." She would have liked to chuck a few balloons a particular Ravenclaw's face... She shrugged, remembering hearing shreiks of laughter down the corridor after she left.

Ellie laughed along with Fee, it felt so good to laugh that much. "You're exactly right! We should start our own awesome club. Just you and me." She snorted. Yeah, brilliant idea. A club consisting of two people. But the room would be full because of their huge egos.
