Samira gave a shrug. "I'm in my second year, so Hogwarts isn't as awe inspiring as it was for me last term, but I'm still really happy to be back." She picked at the skin around her finger nails--a horrible habit she had to kick. Samira was about to say something else about Hogwarts when the Hufflepuff gave one, huge, almighty sneeze. Samira immediately scurried backwards to escape the disgusting germs. She looked down at her outfit that she picked out so carefully to make sure there was not first year boogies on it. To herself, she whispered, "Ew..." Samira quickly made sure to fix her dark hair, cleared her throat, and turned back to the girl. "It's fine. Um, bless you." She looked Tara over for a second before saying, "Need a tissue?"

"You go ahead and do that, if you're ever over at my house then I'll set Max off on you; he'll tackle you and then lick your cheek until you get up. He's a friendly dog definitely, a little excitable and energetic." Matt chuckled slightly, remembering exactly how his dog was when he had returned home from school last summer; it was really a shame that he couldn't bring him to Hogwarts but that was kinda okay with him since there probably would have been several times in which he'd have to chase after Max and that wasn't something that he wanted to do.

"No actually you didn't, why what did she do this time?" It seemed like Hannah was always off doing something wrong and he was surprised that Kyle hadn't practically lost her mind by this time, then again he did know something about cousins being stupid since Raven wasn't exactly little miss perfectly innocent all of the time.

Mia often forgot that Evelyn didn't like to be touched. She was an affectionate type of person herself and she kinda couldn't help hugging people or taking them by the hand. And it got worse when she was excited. Like now. She wanted to climb the tree.

But apparently Evelyn didn't.

"Of course you doooooo." Yeah just totally ignore the girls whining and keep tugging on her arm. "Because once we're in the treehouse we can pretend it's a fort and we have to protect it."

Oh hang on. This was Evelyn she was with and not Destiny.

But she would have to remember that for later and get D down here. "Well he can just climb into the treehouse and you know talk, gossip or...whatever." She gave Evelyn big wide eyes, the ones she usually gave to Nik when she wanted something. It always worked on him.

But just in case...

"We could light a fire."

Kyle chuckled when Matt brought up sicking his dog on her so he'd lick and lick her until she got up. Max sounded like a very sweet, and adorable dog really. "Alright then, its a deal if I sick Ginger on you - then you'll sick Max on me" she smiled.

And then, the smile faded as he said she hadn't told him what Hannah had done. Oh boy this was interesting.

"Well - it was divinations class and well...yeah, Simon was sitting next to me" she explained the first bit, her cheeks pink. "and well, the girl Zara - she's new, Caroline, and Hannah decided to sit there too" she explained taking a deep steadying breath.

"and then things went to hell" she groaned slightly biting her lip before continuing it was evident she was nervous. Rattled even. "Matt, she completely embarrassed me infront of him...it was just awkward..." she paused again, dragging things on today was her forte. "she - she said, that she didn't know we weren't dating....and we're not but made all the more awkward since what I told you earlier - and well...I think she read my journal" yes stupidly she had writen about Simon and the ice cream thing that summer in it and well, things were awkward. "can I just say this is going to make talking to Simon even harder now" she frowned slightly and began playing with the edge of her nail out of nerves.

Whaaat? Noooo she didn't! Was Mia not listening to her? Evelyn could always whine louder if it was necessary. Apparently...it was necessary.

"Noooooo, I don't. I don't want to climb the tree, and I don't want to pretend it's...a fort. Really, Mia? A fort?" Being dragged along, Evelyn raised a brow in amusement and concern as she stared at her friend. Goodness, Mia WAS her friend! A so much better friend than Destiny. HA!

Perhaps she found her new best friend. Wait...there was also Marie, and than there was Sierra too. She'll collect them all!

Actually, Mia's second suggestion on what they could do actually caused Evelyn to second think this. And those eyes...why was she being given those eyes? However, at the mention of fire, the she-snake stopped fighting against Mia. "Really?" she smirked, looking up to the treehouse. A fiiire. In the treehouse. She hadn't done that the last time she was in the treehouse before.

Where did this whining come from? Mia would never have expected such behaviour from Evelyn of all people. Definitely Destiny and maybe Marie but not Ev. It actually made Mia grin. It was nice to know that the girl did have some sort of feelings after all.

She gave Evelyn a sheepish grin when she mentioned the fort. Seriously the girl didn't know what she was missing by being silly sometimes.

HA!!

Mia knew the mention of fire would get her friend's attention and she didn't disappoint. A small smile tugged at her lips at the look on Evelyn's face. "Yes really. See..." she said pulling out a glass jar from her the bag on her shoulder..."I remember you telling me how you wanted to put fire into a jar and carry it around." She looked at Evelyn. "Or have you managed to do that already?"

Mia was smiling. MIA WAS SMILING! Either that was a good thing and she was serious about the fire, or it was a bad thing...meaning she was joking about the fire. She better not be joking about the fire. Evelyn took the magnificent flames seriously.

Staring at the jar, she nodded slowly. Riiighhht. "I've managed to figure it out." she muttered, looking up to Mia with a smirk on her face. "Though I didn't have a jar per say." Nooo, that was all her friend needed to know.

"Well...what are we waiting for?" Making her way merrily over to one of the wooden ladders, Evelyn stopped right next to it and looked over to Mia. Hufflepuffs first.

Oh dear!

That smile on Evelyn's face could not be good. Her friend had been lighting fires!! Mia opened her mouth to... To what? Chastise her? How could she possibly when she was standing there holding a jar and bribing her friend with fire just so that they could climb up to the treehouse. Her mouth quickly closed and she let the matter go. She was good at that after all.

Mia stared after Evelyn for a moment while the Slytherin made her way over to the ladder. Hopefully she was not going to regret this. She walked over to the tree and placed one hand on the wooden rung and she gave Evelyn a wary look. "Don't get any ideas while I am climbing and am momentarily defenceless."

Slytherins were sneaky like that.

Once Kyle had explained to him what her cousin had done, his expression turned rather serious; he could understand what it was like to have someone else tell the person you had a crush on that you liked him, since that had happened at his old school and it was rather humiliating. "That's not cool seriously, that's not only a breach of privacy if she read your journal but it's completely unnecessary; she evidently didn't understand the fact that you were going to tell him eventually and felt the need to speed up the process." He felt sorry for the Ravenclaw for having to deal with that since it wasn't fun whatsoever, there definitely had to be something done about that but what was the question now. "It will but, if you explain what had happened; he'll probably understand, regardless it will be awkward but the truth now is the best thing." He leaned over slightly and gave Kyle a hug, hoping that would help her feel better a bit since he didn't like seeing his friends in the middle of a situation that caused them grief.

Matt's hugg really did help, it made her little smile reappear after all he was a caring guy and caring people gave hugs. And she definitely liked being hugged and giving hugs.

"Thanks for understanding - and for the hug" she smiled over to him nodding as he said it was a breach of trust. Yeah truly it was. "I mean i've got no idea how i'm going to start a conversation about it might have that awkward englongated soooo thing going on." She chuckled.

"But when i'm nervous things come out all wrong so he might think i mean as a friend - which...that could work for you know, making it less awkward until i'm ready to tell him I actually like him like him" that actually was a good idea she thought giving half of the truth until she was ready to face the whole truth - and until she understood the whole truth really. "and more because I want to know if I actually do like him first...its not like 'fully'' developed feelings yet" she explained sheepishly she wanted to make sure first that it wasn't a fly by night emotion that would flit away by morning.

"Em, thanks, William," she smiled. Then she sat on the wooden floor of the treehouse, hugged her legs together and rested her head between them. Zara was back to thinking stuff over.

Watching Mia move closer to the ladder thing, the girl kept up the smile and crossed her arms. Oh? Oh. That caused her smile to turn into a smirk again before...a rather sincere expression crossed her face. "I didn't even think of doing such a thing Mia." Well, that was true. "Until now."

Hmm, yes, thank you Mia for that particular idea. MWa! However, she wouldn't do anything to the Hufflepuff. Just make her a little paranoid perhaps, but really! Mia was a friend. If she was going to do anything, it'd just be a harmless shoelace tying spell or something like that.

Hehe. Harmless.

Oh good one Mia. Just give the girl ideas, why don't you? Although it wouldn't have mattered if she was armed anyway. She didn't know how to defend herself which was pretty sad for a sixth year. With one last wary look at Evelyn, Mia climbed up the ladder.

When she reached the top, she placed her bag and the glass jar on the floor of the treehouse and then looked out the makeshift window before sticking her head back through the hole in the floor. "Hey Ev!! Hurry up and get in here. The view is great."

" You, ahem , are welcome" William told Zara. Zara does not seem like the girl when he first met her. William is very disappointed. Whatever he did to her or said to her must have hurt her feelings. "Sorry, if I hurt yoru feelings at anytime since we met each other" William said to Zara. Then William let her be alone. William probably will treat like she is an upper-class student, tread lightly among them.

Zara looked up and realized William was still there. "Ohh, sorry. I thought you left already after saying that." She apologized sincerely, and stood back up.

"Nono, you didn't, really. I'm fine. Just confused is all."

"With you as a brother how could they not be cute?",Fee smiled and wiggled her eyebrows.When they grew up William surely would be the all protective brother.Sweet."I probably met them?What are their names?",the girl asked surprised.Now that would be soo cool.Ohh hufflepuff girls had nevber been good to Rex,that was true.Mentioning him made her miss her best friend even more.Sigh."I knooow you got a girlfriend",the blonde winked,"how did you meet?Tell me EVERYTHING."


Ohhhhh he had written something into the book about her?Fee was really happy to hear that,why hadnt she read his entry?Daaamn this was fail."Hogwrats isnt the same without him,he is my best friend",the girl nodded and sighed,"he is missing in so many situations."Ohh Nika knew Willy too?Hehe,these boys seemed to come around alot.Typical."Ohh yees William is pretty cool",she nodded,"i am really worried about Rex.I know his exes and all of them werent really doing him good."The blonde would send him and owl later.She needed to know what was going on.


Ohhhh advice for second years?Mhhhh would could the Slytherin say?"!"Well dont get into much drama and have fun.",the third year said,"the room of requirements is a great place to have secret parties"The room of requriments was the place for everything actually.Hehe.Sooo many things had happened there already.Waiit,Nika only liked the green ones ´,now that was a funny coincedence."Same here",Fee giggled,"i cant stand the red ones.Only as juice."Mangos and raspberries,were her fave that wad too perfect.Just liek her,hehe.

Clambering up into the Treehouse, the first year lioness flipped back her brunette curls. Breathing out slowly, she closed her eyes; she let the sun splash over her face. Smiling she took a spot in the sun, and took out her books.

Looking at them, she rubbed her bracelets, biting her lower lip. She didn't feel like doing work right now..

Ella leant back on her hands, wondering where anyone was.. she hated being by herself!

" Ok, no problem since you thought I had left, my bad" William told Zara. " Glad I did not hurt yoru feelings" William said to Zara.

" "Well, thanks but two of my sisters and my adopted sister are older than me, so that is where I got my looks" William told Fee. ' Mom and Dad are good looking, too" William smiled. My older sisters are Joey, Joanne, Hannah and my younger sisters are Amelia and Marlena" William explained to Fee. Not to mention my adopted brother Sev and my brother Aiden who is a twin to <arlena" William said to Fee.
" Well, we saw each other on the trian, talked at the lake and got to know scah other more at the common room and the Pathways" William smiled. Her name is Wisteris, but I call her Witsy and our love is blossoming, so that is how I met her and we became girlfriend and boyfreind' he explained more of his life to Fee..

Zara smiled at William, she didn't know what else to say. So, she just looked at him and smiled. "So how are things going with you and Wisty or Witsy or whatever her name is." She finally asked.

Nessie had decided to come to the tree house for some fresh air. She climbed up sat down. Then took out her book. She wasn't really reading properly. Her eyes were too tired too. She started looking around remembering her DADA homework. She thought of doing it but didn't feel like doing it alone!

She came here straight from the Defense Training Room. After fifty front rolls and a couple of hours of karate, Aiden thinks it is the best to spend her time outdoor.

Climbing up the Treehouse, Aiden sees a witch by her age looking around. She looks rather tired.

"Hello," she greets.

Fee giggled a little at William.As if he had needed his sisters to get his good looks.Naaah."It would be weird if they werent good looking",the Slytherin chuckled,"you good looking family.Tsk.Tsk."The LSytherin would love to meet his family one day.Hehe."Wooow you have a big family",the girl nodded,"i have an older brother and two younger sisters."Awwwww it was so cute how the Gryffindor talked about his girlfriend,he really seemed to like her."I am glad you are happy",the third year nodded.

Why were things at Hogwarts so big? First there was a hug tree, which MOVED, and now there was a GIANT Treehouse. She wasn't really complaining about the treehouse though; it was pretty cool. Jaymie climbed up it and climbed on to a tire swing. Then she took out her journal, where she had written the DADA assignment.




Jaymie looked down at her toes from her sitting position. She giggled and touched then. Well, it didn't say you couldn't bend down. Jaymie climbed out of the tire swing and just sat down on the floor of the treehouse. Then she started to stretch.

Kurumi made her way to the tree house for some much needed time away from the common room just to clear her head. The bag slung over her shoulder contained some freshly baked orange marmalade cookies and a container of warm tea along with a random textbook that she had grabbed from her trunk that morning without looking at the cover. It didn't really matter, as long as it was a book, she would read it.

When she had reached her favorite nook of the tree house, Kurumi saw that she wasn't alone in thinking this spot was best for a bit of a personal escape. "H-H-Hello," she stammered waving at the younger girl. "D-D-Do you mind if I join you?"

"Erm.. Not at all" said Nessie smiling. She remembered seeing this girl at Diagon Alley though she couldn't remember her name. Nessie looked back to her books trying to remember her name but she couldn't remember. Wasn't it Kumi, or wasn't it Krumi. Ness still couldn't remember so she just left it waiting for the other girl to say something first.
