Justin looked to the floor and then up at his hand hovering next to Violet's. For christ sake, take hold of her hand his sub-conscience told him. Justin slipped his hand in Violet's and interlocked his fingers with hers. Finally his sub-conscience told him sarcastically. "Hmmmmm, not sure my partner will be up for being a sidekick but I probably will be" he winked.

He'd already said it? O wells. That must've showed how much he missed her. "O wells. I'm allowed to be silly once in a while, but to be fair I have been eating candy all day" he replied. Teehee.

She giggled a little, when he started holding her hand. "Your partner will get over it." Well that person would kind of HAVE to, if Violet was one of the rulers of the world.

Oh gosh. WHO gave the kid candy?! "And how much candy did you have?" she asked, raising an eyebrow.

"I'm sure she will do. She sort of has no choice but to. She's my partner in crime so if I get over it and she doesn't then she's not much of a partner" said Justin. Although Fee was amazing. She was so understanding. And she's probably step down a step, but still plan it secretly.

Justin bowed his head. "Enough for 5 cavaties" Ok he'd overreacted but o wells. He had eaten a lot of candy.

Once again, Cody wanted to see Jade. They seemed to be going to corridors a lot more now. They went from one room to the next. Not many people hung around in them though. They would just walk to and from the corridor.

Jade was going to meet Cody. She was very eager to meet him as she wanted to see him so much! There weren't that much people so it was easy to see Cody. She then saw him and walked towards him as she grinned at him.

Why did the school seem so quiet? Aimée couldn't put a finger on the reason, but figured that everyone was just outside, or in another part or something. Maybe it was only this corridor that was quiet, because no one had the need to walk through it. Except for her, but she was only on her way down to the Great Hall and -

No, there was someone else in the corridor. And... it couldn't be, could it? Her first question wasn't what they where doing [i]right then[i] more of a what they where doing at Hogwarts altogether. Because shouldn't Leopold O'Donald be at Beauxbatons?

There again, shouldn't she?

"...Leo?"

Leo was now on the ground, humming the Mission Impossible Theme song because well...it amused him. It wasn't like anyone was around him, right? Right. He could do whatever the heck he wanted and no one could call him a dork. Of course crawling around and humming was not DORKY by Leopold O'Donald's definition of dorky. No, in his book it was actually considered quite cool. What would have been dorky? I dunno, doing the chicken dance maybe? He wasn't gonna do that though because being a spy was SO much cooler.

He kept going on with his little spy thing until SUDDENLY he heard his name, Leopold froze up. He winced actually in his little freeze. And yes, he had stopped singing that dang theme song. He blinked almost scared to look up and see who the other person was. It was obviously a girl which made this SO much worse. Gaining bravery SOME HOW, Leopold looked up.

O________________o

"Aimée?" The tall boy asked still on the ground."What are you doing here....?"He asked raising an eyebrow before smacking himself in the face, falling on the ground now."I mean obviously you are here to learn...but why not learn at Beauxbatons?"



"I do like you here though..."

GRIN. Aimée was cool. He was just shocked.

"Hey Jade!", said Cody with excitement. He put out his arms to her to get a hug. "What have you been up to? How are you?", he asked smiling.

"Yeah, I'm planning to, so hopefully I'll make it!" Katelynn agreed. Katelynn shrugged. "That's ok. I'm not very good at it anyway!"
What? uhm... choice? After long thinking, Katelynn said "Sorry Rex, but I'm really lost - what do you mean??" she said, and couldn't help giggeling over her own stupidity.

Skye turned the corner and started to walk down the corridor. It was such a nice day out. Maybe that was the reason why the hallways were mostly empty. She stopped beside a window, where the sunlight eas streaming though, and sst on the windowstill. She curled up and leaned back against the side of the window and just swatched the lake from all the way up here. She could see almost the entire gorunds from this vantage point.

Enya pulled away from the wall with her arms folded and looked round. She look at the bright lights falling into the hallway through the large glass windows making pictures on the stone floor for her to look at. She saw first a bird and then a person. Enya shock her head as she turned away from the images and looked up and down the corridor.

Just down the corridor she saw a girl, a little older then her and none other then her good friend Skye. She smiled to herself as she wondered towards her. Enya stopped a few feet from her friend and unfolded her arms. "Skye" She said as a greeting and nodded her head towards the girl. She truly hadn't seen the girl in a while and kinda missed her. Though she also missed Louisa and hadn't seen her in ages too, she hoped she didn't drop off the radar like Lukas had.

What on Earth was Leo doing? Aimée wondered, catching the sound of a theme tune she recognised only as something her brothers had watched. She wasn't quite sure what it was, but judging by the way he was crawling like a spy on the floor she guessed it was something like James Bond, or whatever. Something like that, anyways. And she couldn't help but giggle - what, Leo made her laugh.

She bit her lip when he froze, and looked scared as to whom had uttered his name; she didn't want him to think she was laughing at him in a horrible way, because she wasn't. She smiled though, when he said her name; at least he hadn't like, forgotten her or something. That would be awful.

She knelt down in front of him as he fell slightly, making sure he was okay. He seemed to be, although the concerned look remained on her face. Why not learn at Beauxbatons? "Well, mum and dad split up. Dad got custody, and 'e moved 'ere, and 'e's Muggle, isn't 'e, so zere's not really anyways I could 'ave gotten back to France," she said with a shrug.

But the bigger question was, "But why are you 'ere?!" Not that it was a bad think, because Leo was awesome. But why wasn't he at Beauxbatons?

Jade immediately hugged Cody tightly. "Well I've had some work, met some friends that's all I think," she told him happily. "Well I'm better now that I'm with you!" she said looking at him. "What about you?" she asked him.

"That's good to know", he said to Jade happily. Some sweet words. "Yeah, me too", he told her. "I'm pretty good. I've got a pile of homework left but that can wait", he repiled to her.

"Me too, maybe we should meet sometime and do it together," Jade told Cody. "So did you make any new friends," she asked him.

Skye looked up as someone called her name. "Oh, Enya," she said. She still had mixed feelings for this girl. Enya had gotten her into so much trouble recently...And she hasd been so horrible to Ellie. But...the last time Skye had talked to her....Enya had seemed...almost nice? Skye turned to the younger girl and prepared herself for what she was sure would be a very interesting conversation.

"Do you want to sit down?" she asked. "By the way, did you think about what I said to you down by the lake?"

Enya smiled a little as she took the offered seat and moved so she was looking at Skye. Since the talk they had had at the lake she had a little more respect for Skye though she didn't say of course. That wasn't her thing. She did however not insult the older girl as she sat there.

She still however didn't say thank you.

What had they talked about at the lake? She really couldn't remember. "Um, i think so" She said a little nervously

Skye watched Enya take a seat, on the opposite end of the windowsill as her, so that they faced each other. It was good to hear that Enya had been thinking about what Skye had said, but she wished that her efforts had produced a bit more of an effect. She supposed it had been a bit od a useless effort anyway. it was Enya they were talking about.

"So...?" she said. "What did you decide?"

Enya looked down at her hands and put them together. She really didn't know what to say to her friends question, she remembered now what they had talked about down at the lake. She also knew there was no way of changing her. She could become nicer yes, but was it her? She really didn't know, beside she didn't want to change and then become part of the sceanary at the back. No. Thank. You.

Enya looked up at Skye and let her hands fall to her sides. "Yes i did have a think about what we talked about" She said first, not so nervous anymore, "And whatever you say to me wont change me. You know that" She added matter - of factly. Sigh. Enya shifted a little so that she was facing Skye better.

"Look, what happened at the lake was a one off thing...." She paused. "I..i don't know what came over me at the lake, but it's nice to have someone i can count on, I'm glad we talked" She added the last bit in a whisper leaning forward. She didn't want everyone to know!

Skye let her back relax into the stone wall, as her shoulders dropped a little in disappointment. She couldn't help it. She was so sure that she'd done something that had made Enya into a nicer person. Oh well. At least she'd tried. She twisted ehr mouth to one side for a moment, and then spoke.
"I see," she said. "I know. I never really thought that I could influence you," she said, with a wry smile. Then she shrugged one shoulder. "You're welcome. Any time you want to talk, you know you can always count on me, right?" she said. Yep. Skye the amazing therapist. That's me, she thought.

"We should. It would be one good way", he repiled to Jade, smiling. "Nope, not really", he answered her quickly. He really didn't have time to make friends at this point.

Enya moved her legs under her when she moved to look at Skye, she folded her hands on her lap as she moved and she looked at Skye. She knew the older girl was trying to help her and she wasn't being kind about it but that was her, right? Well she thought so, Enya paused her thought thinking and opened her mouth to say;

"i guess thank you for trying to help me would work now" She said a little nervous about weather she was doing all this right or not but she guessed she had done something right in the converation already or Skye wouldn't be there.

Enya nodded when Skye offered help with anything, she knew she could count of the girl in front of her because she wasn't someone like that Ellie girl she was wayyy better. Enya smiled, "Thank you, I'll keep it in mind"

Jade was glad that Cody liked the idea. "Oh I see," Jade replied with a tone of sadness in her voice. She wanted Cody to make friends as she didn't want him to feel left out.

Jade didn't really reply back to Cody that much. "So, are these new friends of yours in Hufflepuff or other houses?", he asked her smiling.

Leo stood up, blinking. His awkward limbs hung as he stared at the blonde, almost unsure of what really to say. He liked Aimée it was just....a surprise. A PLEASANT surprise at that. She was honestly one of the LAST people he had expected to be at Hogwarts. Placing a hand in his pocket, Leopold walked over to the blonde as she spoke, listening to her words carefully. So her parents had divorced? Leopold couldn't help but frown at her words, "I'm sorry to hear that..."He said honestly. It was such a shame that bad things happened to such nice people. Leo for example, his parents were still together and quite happy from what he could see.

He sent her a smile as she spoke."Well, I hope you like it better here...I like it better here."He had more friends, a LOT more friends than he had at Beauxbatons. Aha, now THE question. Leo shrugged his shoulders,"You know...about the mean people right?"He was sure she did, considering it happened on a daily basis for him. Dang bullies. "My parents got tired of me complaining about it so....they talked to the headmistress and she suggested Hogwarts and I've been here since then..."He sent her a smile, nodding.

Yep, that's how it was.
