Like he would ever admit it when Ellie was there. Duude, she's standing right there! And... They knew each other? He looked between the two suspiciously, Hyun was standing waay closer to Ellie than he was. Internal pout. Suddenly he felt very silly standing there cluthing his killer skates.

"Thanks man, and right back at you. Did you see the first match is against Hufflepuff." he smirked. Those loyal, food-eating, yellow people.



Nooo, Ellie had heard Hyun's comment about him being scared!

Crap.

"Nope I'm great on the ice."

Double crap.

That sounded like he was such a girl and hopefully he wouldn't have to show her his so called skills because well, he had none. Absolutely none at all. He didn't even know how to put on his skates! Bohoo.

Phew, change of subject to Quidditch, something he actually did have some skills in. "Yeah I did. You're talking to the Slytherin beater now my lady." he grinned and wiggled his eyebrows like the villain that he was.

Buuuuut then Alex opened his mouth and he grinned back at him when he DID congratulate him. "Thanks man, were going to smash those canaries!" he made a movement with his fist in the air, as if punching it.

He lowered his arm and cocked his head to the side slightly. He grinned rather stupidly as he watch how Alex started to panic. He soooo couldn't skate! bwaha! ...Though, on the other hand , Hyun couldn't either. He knew how to put the skates on and how to stay still on the ice, but moving? He hadn't been the laugh of the class for nothing back at Durmstrang. He just never mastered ice-skating.

Not that he was going to admit it in front of a girl! he thought as he eyed Ellie for a second.

Wait, "back at you"? Ellie turned to Hyun. "Wait you made the team too? That's awesome! Sheesh, no one told her anything! Nonetheless, Ellie was happy for her buddies. -Grin-

Ellie raised a skeptical eyebrow at Alex. "Well then, sir, if you're so good why don't you put on those fancy skates of yours and show me?" She suggested with a devious look on her face.



Ellie laughed a little when Hyun punched the air. She was glad she didn't have to play against them. She'd be a bit worried about her safety.

"Oooorr, we could all go together on the ice? Y'know since you two are both so great at ice skating and all..." She winked at Hyun. Riighhht. Then again it wasn't like Ellie was a professional either. In fact, she sucked.

Alex grinned widely, 'smash those canaries'. Yes they so would, so the feathers just flew all over the place! Even though Hufflepuffs were badgers and Ravenclaw were the birds... Anyway, he didn't need to confuse Hyun more than he already was with all the houses.

"Definitely, we have to win the Quidditch Cup from them this year." he smirked. He still couldn't believe that the Puffs held the Quidditch Cup... What was up with that? That needed to be changed. Soon.



Put on his fancy skates? Alex' eyes flickered to the skates in his arms up to the girl infront of him. "Naah I... I've already been skating I just finished." he nodded. He had only just arrived oh well. "And besides, for me to show my skills I need to get payed." he chuckled. He was just that good.

Alex looked at Hyun, he was awesome at ice skating? Oh man. Now Hyun and Ellie would just skate off into the sunset or something while Alex lay face down on the ice. Nah, Ellie wouldn't leave him lying like that. Would she?

He chuckled nervously and scratched his neck. "Is that really such a good idea?"

"Yes i did" Hyun said with a grin as Ellie asked if he was in the team too. "Thanks Ellie" hmmm he wondered that if this girl hadn't saved his life before , would he been so nice to her? probably not.




Hyun looked away from Ellie and towards Alex who had started to stutter slightly, just slightly but Hyun noticed it. He remembered how Alex had been when he was alone with him and this was soooo not like him! He looked from Alex and then to Ellie and simply placed 1 and 1 together.

Alex liiiiiked Ellie.

hehehe

He was about to joke about it when Ellies voice cut the silence. "S-Skate..together?" he stuttered and looked back at Alex to hear his "excuse". "Uhm..i don't have any skates.." Not that he couldn't just walk on the ice with his shoes. "Oh ok" he bravely made his way towards the frozen water and with sloooooow movements until

*THUD!* he layed on the ice. Reaaally subtle

Just finished, eh? Right, Alex Reed, riiigghht. "Oh come on, you. We're friends aren't we?" She teased. "Yeah it's a great idea!" She exclaimed, over-exaggerating. Actually it probably wasn't, but she was having fun teasing him. "Look at everyone else, they seem to be having fun?" She said, looking at her classmates on the ice.



Ellie shrugged with a smile on her face. "Mr. Stryker said you don't need skates. Plus it's harder to fall down if you have your shoes on."

WRONG. Soon, Hyun was flat on the ice. Ellie grimaced when she heard a solid thud. Hyun! Merlin's beard..!" Aaack, please don't let that thud be his head. Ellie ran towards Hyun on the ice and immediatley slipped and fell on her but next to him. Great planning, Ellie. And Ravenclaw's were supposed to be smart? Ohh yeah. That would leave a good bruise.

Alex exchanged a look with Hyun, whyy was he looking at him like that. Alex shifted his weight and glanced down at his skates before looking up at Hyun again. Did he notice anything? Did he?! Hopefully not.

"Of course, we're... Friends." he smiled at Ellie. Friends? Is that what they were now? Just friends? Ugh, just ugh. Then he watched as Hyun made it out on the ice and fell over.

Of course, being the Snake that he was Alex started to laugh. Because A, it was funny watchin people fall and B, perhaps he hadn't laughed that hard if Ellie hadn't run so fast to Hyun after the fall.

Worrywart, he thought a bit grumpy before Ellie also fell over. What was going oon? He chuckled and went to give them both a helping hand before-

BAM!

He fell.

Alex fell on top of Ellie and Hyun and dropped his skates so the ended up somewhere across the rink.

"Um... Ouch." he muttered the sound muffled because well, he had his face right down Hyun's coat. Or something.

She gave her a big smile and hugged her back. She held on to her arm and the stood there greeting each other.

"So I hear that my partner in crime made the quidditch team,Congrats" She would have liked to try-out for the team too. She wasn't sure if she could make it. She only palyed with her brother, in the clearing of the woods at home. Plus it was her fifth year and she had the owls to take at the end of term anyway, right near the time of the quidditch finals. but she was planing out trying next term.

THUD.

Ow. Alex was laying across Ellie's lap and on Hyun. Ellie fell back, rested her head on the ice and began laughing hysterically. 3-person pile-up on the ice.

"Some ice skater you are, huh?" She teased in between laughs. She propped herself up on her elbows to get a better look at their situation. Hm, at least Alex was keeping her legs warm.

Alex heard someone approach and spun around to face Emma. Just like walking, pffft. He rolled his eyes slightly at that comment. Sure it was just like walking, he found walking difficult how in Merlin's name would he manage to do that on ice? People were weird. "Hey Em." he smiled.

She put on her iceskates really fast, very fast indeed. He watched her with one eyebrow raised and looked down at his comfy shoes. He didn't want to have those killer shoes on him, his skates had never been used before.

Why? Because they had a killer sharp blade underneath it that's why! Muggles were scary.

Close his eyes? He immediatly looked suspicious but did as he was told. A ninja shouldn't close his eyes, oh well he had his partner to back him up. And now, he was supposed to open them, so he did. Man, he was such an obedient friend.

WHAAAT WAS THAT?!

Alexbear looked at the wrapped gift Emma held in her hands. "Happy birthday? But... It's December." he laughed. His birthday had been last month... Oh well, it wasn't like he was going to say no to a present. After all, he wasn't stupid contrary to popular beliefs

"What have you been up to?" he grinned taking the present from Emma. It wasn't a bomb or something right?

Alex rolled off the two people and lay on his back on the ice oh oh oh , cold, cold, cold! with a laugh. "I promise I can skate. I just didn't want to make you guys feel bad for falling over. So I thought I'd join you." he flashed her a grin. And also because I couldn't leave you alone with Hyun...

"Mostly the library," Kurumi said with a smile on her face. Too bad most of her time there was not on Hogwarts homework but her own personal assignment. Figuring out her family's history was ended up to be a much more difficult task than she had imagined. "I am so glad they turned the lake into an ice rink this year! I tried to charm my shoes into ice skates last year...that didn't work out so well..." More like a disaster. Her and Adam had ended up running away from the giant squid.

Ughh, Katie felt even more nervous as she heard her partner in crime Caroline say the word Quidditch, but she was also very exited, "Thanks, but I am really nervous about the match coming up" What if she lost it for the team? And then she was kicked off the team? Ughh! No, this won't happen, do your best Katie, and you shall win it for Slytherin. Katie knew she was getting off track but she wondered if Adam had got on the team, if he did and got the spot he wanted, Keeper, then who knows what would happen if Slytherin versed them, now that would be interesting!

"So whats been up in your world Partner in crime?" Katie asked as she looked down at her ring which was still in the same place as her boyfriend slash soul mate Lukey had putten it on, her ring finger, Katie remembered when she got it, it was so romantic, but anyway, she would tell her partner in crime if she asked, ad besides, most people would go RING! and have a look.

A beater though, she could see her as a chaser, but She knew that Katie would be great at beater too. She couldn't wait until the first match, she loves playing and watching it.

"Nothing, really just hanging around, working hard in my classes, you? She asked, She looked down at what Katie was looking at. Ohhhh, Ring. Caroline saw the pretty ring on her hand, it must have been from Luke, Katie's boyfriend. Caroline's wants a ring, too. But first she needs a Boyfriend, chuckle, chuckle. "KKKAAATTIIIEE!" She said grabbing her hand a looking at the ring better. "It's Beautiful. Did Luke give it to you". She smiled at her partner in crime. Geez they needed to talk more. She looked at it again. Lucky, girl, her friend was.

Wrapped up in her gryffindor scarf and gloves, Emily walked through the grounds trying to stay warm. She would have normally spent her time reading in a warm common room, but she had over heard someone mention an ice-skating rink and she just had to check it out!

And sure enough, as she came to the lake, she saw it frozen and people ice-skating on top. "wow" she breathed.

She noticed Nika by the side of the lake and went over to her.
"Hey. Are you coming on as well?" she asked nodding slightly at the lake.
She had been ice skating a few times with her sister, but she was still scared the ice woudn't take her weight. She hated the though of crashing through the ice into the cold water below. shudder

The blonde smirked as Alex rolled his eyes. Oh dear... She beamed him a smile. Ice skating was going to be fun. She gave Alex a quizzical look. "You've never been ice skating before, partner?" she asked.

She smiled as he closed his eyes and then opened them. Muhahaha.. She would be a supreme ruler in NO TIME!! Tehee. She was so excited for him to open it. Smiling innocently. "I know its December. But I feel bad that I missed your birthday... when I was... unconscious." she explained. She still felt bad about it. "So are you going to open it?" she exclaimed. She had spent a long time picking the present out and wrapping it neatly. Emma really hoped Alex liked it. He really did need this.

"Well.... Meeting more people! Oh, I'm going to learn how to play football! Isn't that cool!? I've never played it before. What else, hanging out with Sel, meeting some new people, girl talks with Fee, having an awesome time with my partner in crime, classes, and more Quidditch. What's up in the world of Alex" she began and then whispered softly so only he could hear. "Bear?"

Ellie laughed. Right, because that was the truth. She smirked at him. "Of couuurse, that's it." She teased. "You know what I think, Mr. Reed? I think you don't know how to ice skate." She dared to say with a grin on her face. Didn't want to make them feel bad, PFFT. He was a Slytherin and sympathy was not in the average Slytherin's dictionary.

Oh and Quidditch, can't forget Quidditch.

"Homework, lots of homework, oh and Quidditch" Katie giggled, she hated homework but she wanted to get good grades, and how do you get good grades, homework, Katie knew that it was going to be hard to balance Homework and Quidditch, but Katie will have to do both. Katie blushed, Caroline had noticed the ring, like everyone, "I know right? And yes, Lukey gave it to me, it was his mothers ring, she said to Lukey that you can give it to someone special" Katie paused as she looked up to the sky "and he chose me"

If he was going to open it? Of coourse he would open it! He grinned and tore off the paper, mwha he was the present opener master! Alex opened the present and saw the watch that was inside. Hoooow did she know he needed this? Had she heard his father totally yelling at him for oversleeping all the time? Alex looked up at Emma and grinned widely. "Emma this is great!" he laughed and gave her a big bear hug. "I-You-How did you know?" he chuckled. Now perhaps he wouldn't be so late for the classes... Pfft, yeah right.

"Welll I have been chilling with my partner, gotten an amazing gift, getting the beater position, training some, hanging out with my friends that sort of thing." he winked at her.

She smiled at him when she facing him again..."GREAT!!!" she said quickly, but then when he mentioned his birthday her smile faded. "O your birthday!!! O my! When was it...I can't believe I missed it..." she said with a blank face...she wasn't sure how she would've known it was his bday but still she hated the she had missed it...it bothered her badly. "Well, we're going to have to celebrate it again! Yes yes yes!" she said with a smile back on her face and nodding her head up and down.

Carolne couldn't help but to be a little jealous, the ring was nice. She nodded yes, homework was the main thing for anyone at this time in the term. Awwww that was sweet, it was Luke's mums. "Awww thats sweet"
