"Really?"Adam said biting his lip in a sneaky way."I think there is someone else for you...But I'll let you figure that out on your own."He said patting her head."I just want you to know- I won't act like that anymore-"

"How am I obnoxious?He asked half laughing and hysterical.When had he ever acted like he was better than someone and then rubbing it in their face."I've just given Kurumi a Pymgy Puff and it made her happy and me too...Just hanging out with her is the best feeling in the world"He explained esctatic.

"I know Panda Girl. I am just afraid that they have more experience than me and have a much better chance."

"Really",Fee nodded.But than Hugo popped up in her head.Why exactly did he pop up just NOW?!Sighing she shook her head."Okay maybe there is someone in my head but its not goin to happen."They were close friends,but that was it right?!After all he didnt make a move.

"In a good way",the blonde smiled.It was sooo cute how Adam was around Kurumi.They were just soo cool together, at least one couple had lasted and that made Fee happy.Even though it still hurt a little when she thoought back."You got her a pygmy puff?",the second year squealed,"Woahhhh thats soo sweet."Reminded her of the one time she had been at WWW with her best friend Alex.So cute how he had gotten her plum.Heh.

"Just try your best lion boy",the Slytherin smiled,"if you make it i am even going to cheer for you."A Slytherin cheering for Gryffindor?Would look weird,but who cared.

He gave her a questioning look. Perhaps she was catching on to who maybe Adam was trying to mention without speaking his name."I wonder who it could be"He said in a fake voice.

"Yeah she had begged me to get it for her at the store. So I went back and got her the one she had wanted.She loved it."He said happily smiling. It had been one of his best memories sharing it with her.

"I will. I even bought a new broom and all. How can you cheer me if you are on the team? I hope you mean cheer me when our houses aren't competing."He corrected her, perhaps she was thinking a bit like him now.

Fee raised an eyebrow in her friend.What the hell?!"What are you hinting Adam?",she asked a little confused.He couldnt read her midn or something right?!And there were no signs,right?!But her friend's fake voice said he didnt believer her somehow.

"Aww Adam thats really cute",she nodded,"you two look soo good together.Its awesome that you stayed together."Especially after the drama going on last year, but it only porved that Adam and Kurumi were right for eachother.

"I bought a new broom too",the girl nodded,"Hugo helped me picking out."Turned out the have the same broom now.An oakshaft.Hitting her forhead with her hand she chuckled."Of course when our teams arent playing against eachother.",the second year chuckled,"cheering on a broom is a little different with concentrating on the game i guess."

Jacob walked into the library, he had OWLs to study for. And it was kind of sad that, he had spent 4 years in classrooms learning about magic, and muggles. And Jacob didn't retain a bit of it. He remember something about Grilled Cheese, Michael Jackson, And the Apacolypse, but that was pretty much it. Jacob didn't even look at the books, he went straight for the arm chairs.

Jacob sat in one, and started tapping his hands and feet through nervous habbit. 'Well If you were to study for the thing that was making you nervous, You wont be as nervous AND as an added bonus, you might just pass them' Shut Up Brain... I know!

Patroclus had only been in the library a few times......well make that once, but his Head of House worked here, so he thought he should pop in and tell her he had arrived, he had after all missed the Opening Feast, so it was probably a good idea to go and apoligise once again.

However a sight which he never thought he would ever see, stopped him in his tracks.


Jacob.

Jacob Blunt.

His friends Jacob Blunt in the Library.

"I never thought I would see the day."

Jacob looked up at the sound of foot steps... Patroclus! Jacob didn't have to even think about what the kid was saying. "Pfft! What are you talking about? I'm in here all the time." Jacob said "Okay, I'm never in here. But Thats not the point." he wagged his finger at the boy to place more emphasis on his word.

He had just gotten bored. "You know, can't set fire to small animals without a wand. But I did manage to set fire to my own butt" he said as if it were an amazing feat of excellence... wait. He was getting off track here

But before he could say anything else, Jacob saw something and Patroclus's robes. Jacob Quickly got out of the arm chair as if there was nothing wrong with his butt, and moved towards the boy. He pointed at the boys badge. "What is this?" he asked the boy. Who in the right mind would make patroclus prefect... then again who would make Jacob captain. It was either Tate was off his rocker or all the heads of houses had lost their marbles. And if that was the case. Then somebody better help Tate back onto his rocker and somebody better help those professors find their marbles before the entire school exploded.

The blatant lie of Jacob being in the Library often, was only out shocked by the fact that he had set his butt on fire.
"You set your butt on fire? You set your butt on fire?" Patroclus said slowly, wide eyed, "Why? How? Why?" The fifth year could not help but laugh hysterically, yet also very quietly, "Jacob you are crazy!"

Next thing Patroclus knew Jacob was up and in his face, "It's a Badge. And I hear you have one too, Qudditch Captain, well done!" Patroclus coud see the wheels turning in Jacobs head, and Patroclus could help but guess what he was thinking, "I don't know how I got this. But it's pretty cool, we get our own Bathroom now!" Patroclus, always thinking of the perks!

"So finding anything in those books, on how to kiss my feet, when my House blows you out of the air this Qudditch Season? You've had a year off, I bet you've gotten terribly sloppy!" Patroclus smiled wickedly!

"Whatever I need huh?" Salander began drumming his fingers against each other. After moving into his mother's estate a lot of his material needs have been covered--a far cry when he lived with his father and he had to scrounge every knut while keeping it hidden away from the old man.

"Well I do need help with my homework..." he started then stopped short. Well in truth he hasnt seen Grayson at the train or the feast, but hasnt lost hope that he will meet the Ravenclaw girl somewhere in class. She never misses classes. And she's helped him out all througout last term, she wouldnt mind helping him out again this term right?

Right!

The Slytherin lad tapped his finger against the armrest and replied "You know, let me get back to you on that, something's bound to come up that I'm gonna need your help with this term. I'll do my end of the deal, you pony up when the time comes. You cool with that?"

"Not on purpose" he said defensivly. "My wand just... went off in my back pocket" then it started burning his butt off, taking the couch and half his wand with it. No! Jacobs not crazy! No ones gonna take Jacob to the looney pen.

A badge? Whats a badge?.... Oh right... Use your brain for once. 'Nope, I'm on Vacation' Shut up brain! "Where in the world would you get that idea?" he asked with a small laugh. "Me? Captain?" he stopped for a second. "Yeah, seems like Vindictus has completely lost it." He said shaking his head. Wait, what was this? "We get our own bathroom?" why was Jacob never told about this?

Jacob gave a fake laugh. "In your dreams!" he said to the boy. "I saw you signed up for your team." Yes, Jacob might have snuck a peak or two at the other sign up sheets. But it was only right... they were right near his own, and he needed to know what he was up against. Even if most didn't make the team. "I bet you wouldn't last 5 minutes in the air, with bludger zooming everywhere." Jacob said, especially if he had a nice clean path to stike the bludger straight at Patroclus. The boy probably wouldn't be able to take one bludger, Jacob has taken several... well that explains EVERYTHING!

“Ouch, I thought I smelt roast bird when I arrived at school.” Patroclus winced as Jacob explained his butt-burning. “Sounds like a nice welcome back to school” he added with a grin. “Perhaps Lafay can make a potion that will allow you to have a regenerating butt, that way you can blow it off all the time!” Good old Lafay, always came in handy.

“Of course we do!” Patroclus cried, “I have yet to find it, but when I do I will let you know! It’s supposedly awesome, with a bath deep and long enough to do laps in!” To say the prefect was impressed was an understatement, the bathroom and tub, had been on his mind since he got the badge, “It will be sweet!”

Patroclus was shocked, “Spying on the competition hey? I bet that is grounds for immediate removal from office,” Captain, was a kind of office…..an office in the sky, but still an office? “I bet those bludgers will be coming from you!” Patroclus laughed. It had been a long standing joke that Jacob was going to hit him with a Bludger, but it was just that, a joke. It was laughable, “There will be no way you will be able to catch me mate, I will be like lightening! You won’t know what has hit you!” That’s right Patroclus was going to be awesome….that was considering he made the team.

Iris looked at the boy when he said he'd probably end up with a T, frowning slightly. "Well... if you know you think you're going to do badly... then why don't you find out if you can have extra lessons or something? That is, assuming you want to do well in Potions."

She tapped on the side of the library book lightly as she looked at him, whilst wondering why she'd never done that with any of her OWLs. It would have made plenty of sense to do... Ah well. Too late to go complaining now.

Oh!

Introductions. "Eben." She repeated. And people said her name was odd? "Nice to meet you. I'm Iris Beaumont." She added, with a smile of her own as she shook his hand.

*Grabbing a soft warm looking chair Matty was glad for a rest after the long first week of classes. Pulling out a book from his pack he started to read quietly. A small yawn left him and after a few minutes he ended up falling fast asleep.*

Braeden dumped about 38457 different books on Divinations on one of the tables of the small reading lounge. He had dumped his school bag on the floor, beside his chair, and was now organizing the Divinations books by categories, preparing them for the romantic date study session he and Deus had agreed to embark on this afternoon.

The cowardly lion was feeling pretty proud of himself. How often was it that he got to be someone else's tutor? Or, even more surprising, the tutor of someone as fancy-shmancy as Amadeus Kipling? Yeah, Braeden was brilliant. Or at least that was what he told himself.

Once he had the pile of books organized, the boy proceeded to lean back on his chair and take one of the books to flip through it while he waited for his Ravenclaw friend's arrival.

Jacob laughed slightly. Raoasted bird, That wasn't nice. he's not a bird,silly. He's hum-.... oh. Right Eagle. Then Jacob looked at the boy, like he was crazy. "Yes, cause it was such a wonderful experience, that I wanna set my butt on fire more than one." Jacob said sarcasticly.

"OOOH!" Jacob exclaimed. "It could be like an adventure... 'Search of the Dirty Prefect toilet!" Jacob said, like make it difficult, having to climb up the outside castle walls to get to each floor. Then Jacob put on a Elmur Fudd immitation. "SHHH! I'm Huntin' Bafwooms!" Jacob said chuckling a bit. "Or Maybe Crocodile Hunter!" Jacob said and tried to make an Australian Accent. "Look! It's Prefect toilet! On o' the Dirtiest, feircest creatures in the school... Imma touch it!" he said and then made a few exagerarted motions. "AHHH! Poop water, poop water!"
Wait! "I have an office!... Why was I not told about this either?!" Vindictus better be ready for another visit... after the whole remedial Wand saftey lesson thing... Gonna be fast as lightning? "Mhm. Sure" Jacob joked.

And then he went on about his remedial class. "Can you believe that I've got to take a Remedial Wand saftey class with Tate. It so unfair." just cause Jacob burnt his butt of and set fire to a couch, doesn't mean he should be punished so cruely... "I would rather detention with Lafay." He said shaking his head... he should have picked truebs. Tate was going to lecture him for hours upon hours. Eat Jacobs heart out... spit it up, and eat it again. Disguisting Canibalistic Headmaster... Erm, no wait, that was that other dude.

Amadeus strode into the library, looking as if he came straight off of the catwalk as per his usual subconscious choice of walk and clothing. He had changed out of his Ravenclaw robes into something less scholarly yet nonetheless smart. His book bag slung over his shoulder, he adjusted the collar of his white, pressed button-down shirt as he began searching for Braeden Stonem. Earlier, the proud seventh year had uncomfortably asked Brae for help with his Divination homework. It was one of the only, possibly the only, course that Deus struggled with, simply because his mind was always on other things. The Ravenclaw took pride in his studies but his mind always seemed to drift off while he was perched on top of a cushion in the warm Divination classroom, inhaling the incense and enchanting candles that seemed to be everlastingly lit.

As he walked on, his shined loafers squeaking against the freshly waxed, hardwood floor, he noticed a protuberance of what looked like an auburn-colored lion's mane behind a large pile of books, whose covers were adorned with rather mystical illustrations and most with the gold-embossed name of Cassandra Trelawney. He approached the table, only to find Braeden behind the mountainous pile of literature. "Good evening," The corners of his lips rose slightly to make a smile before he resumed his atypical apathetic expression, slinging his leather bag from his shoulders as he took a seat.

"Sorry if I'm a bit late," Amadeus murmured his apology as he began to shuffle around items in his satchel. "I was accosted by a friend in need of assistance and it was a bit of an emergency." He intently avoided eye contact as he lied through his teeth. Truth be told, he had caught his reflection in a mirror as he had changed in the Ravenclaw boys dormitory and didn't have the will to resist fussing with his hair. "Where should we start?" He asked, fishing a rather thick textbook from his bag before looking up at Braeden.

Patroclus scoffed, “Don’t look at me like that, I wouldn’t put blowing bit of your butt off, past you…….don’t lie you loved it!” he joked with a grin, knowing full well that it was a lie. Who in their right mind would want to blow off their behind, then again, Jacob…right minded….

Now this was the Jacob Patroclus found so fun, the Crocodile Hunter has him in stitches, “Awesome Australian accent! There could be a comic book about the adventure or a cool old-timey movie trailer, with that tinny –radio voice,” the Lion laughed, clearly his throat putting on an old school voice over accent, “’Crossing Rivers, Jumping from Cliffs and Fighting Wildman join the Hogwarts Expolers on their quest to find the Long Lost Prefect Bathroom!’” returning to his usual voice, the boy nodded, “Stuff of legends!”

Gah, “Not a real office- forget it,” Patroclus decided he would let it slide, besides it would be fun to watch Jacob search the school not only for the Prefect Bathroom, but also for his office.

The next part Patroclus find particularly funny, however being a great friend he didn’t let it show…..well maybe just a little, “Remedial Wand Safety?” he said, over the top of a muffle laugh, “Wow man that sucks, but you never know Tatertot may teach you some wicked cool spells,” probably not, but there was always a possibility, “Really detention with Lafay? Over just some cruisey basic wand tricks……I know who to swap my detentions with.” Lafay was an awesome teacher, but Patroclus would never want to have to do detention for her, getting on that lady’s bad side was like being stuck on the top of an erupting volcano.

Braeden looked up from his book as a model walked out of a photoshoot and approached him. HUH?! He stared at the much taller boy wide-eyed before realizing - oh, it's Deus. Looking like a living Roman statue as always. Of course. He smiled politely at the boy as he sat down and went on about being late due to a friend who needed assistance. D'awwww. How sweet.

Too bad Braeden didn't buy it. He didn't know Deus as well as he knew Roderigo, but he had gotten enough of an idea of his personality to know that such kind acts were rare events and he had most likely been distracted with more self-centered manners. The cowardly lion with the messy hair wasn't about to question him on it, though. That was his business.

"Well, what exactly are you struggling with?" Braeden asked as Deus asked how they would start. "I've got books here that fall under the 'Divination for Dummies' category up to intermediate level," he said, gesturing with a hand at the mountain of books he had set upon the table.

*For a library there was a lot of talking. No matter, they weren't being to loud but loud enough to wake Matty up. Yawning he stretched and got up grabbing his things. Putting his bag over his shoulder he made his way out of the library. He needed to find the perfect place.*

Amadeus pursed his lips, rather unsure if the younger sixth year would be able to assist him. Maybe he would have to go and visit the professor for help when class was not in session, which would be an embarrassing shame. The vain Ravenclaw simply shuddered at the thought. "Well," He sighed, flipping his book open to the third chapter. "It's crystal ball gazing that I've had issues with. I don't understand how some people, Hufflepuffs at that, are able to see their futures while all it looks like to me is as if I'll experience fog sometime soon." He chortled softly before resuming his studious position, resting his elbow on the table and propping his head into his open hand.

"Would you happen to know anything about my predicament?" He asked, subconsciously looking up in a rather sultry manner at the lanky boy.

Hugo took a chair with yet another book about wandlore. He had to know all about it for his future to work out. He put on his reading glasses. YEAHH I HAEV READING GLASSES WHUT ABOUT IT Well he could read without them, but it looked cool. And the doctor told him his eyes would die if he didn't buy them. Yes, he read THAT much.

Kurumi was hunched over A History of Magic with her canary yellow journal opened on her lap just in case she found something related to her family's history that she could jot down. She had been in the library nearly all day and her hair was a bit frizzy from all the reading and pulling at her hair. She looked up and saw a boy sitting across from her and she had to double take for her to realize that it was Hugo. "Hugo?" she asked with a smile. "I didn't know you wore glasses."

"Uhh," Hugo said blushing. He took them off. "Reading glasses. Doctor says my eyes could pop out from all the reading." Of course, he could cure it with magic. But... These looked so cool! Right? "Whatcha holding?" he asked pointing at the canary yellow journal.

"Well, you look very dashing in them," Kurumi smiled. She remembered when her brother, Junichiro, had to get glasses. He had told the family that his life was coming to an end and he was going to forever be the laughing stalk of the city. He ended up getting a girlfriend within a week for looking intelligent. "Oh, this?" she asked holding up her journal. "I bought it over the summer. It screams if anyone other than me opens it."

"Why thanks," he said with a smile. He put the glasses back on. He was rather intrigued by the yellow journal. "Interesting. Did you charm it yourself?" he asked.
