Harvey smiled at Justin and frowned a little "Of Course there is room in our compartment for the both of you. I already counted you two as part of the 7 or 8 people we have in our compartment. Yeah its alot, but we are all friends and I want to make this last journey together before we part ways." he said smiling and looked over to Minnie and gave her a smile.

" Well, we'll all pack ourselves in there somewhere...Somehow. It should be a nice way to end the term. Plus, We'll get to hang out outside of school. Who knows what kind of shananigans we can get into." Justin joked.

Harvey laughed "Oh i agree Justin!" he said still laughing

Alyssa's mouth was still gaping open in shock. She suspected that Aaron would appear with a bang, but she didn't expect him to carry out a dare that she had dared him a couple of months back. He had hugged Professor Lafay. Alyssa quickly glanced over to see what the Professor's reaction was. So far she still looked like she was still in shock.

"Merlin!! Aaron, you are certifiably crazy. I didn't think you were really going to carry out that dare." Then Alyssa busted up laughing and hugged him. "Everybody, for those who haven't met this clown, this is Aaron, uh! My boyfriend," blushing as she introduced Aaron to everyone at the table.

Harvey smiled as an older boy sat down next to Alyssa, he instantly figured out that this must be Aaron. And sure enough Alyssa introduced them "Hey Aaron I am Harvey. Nice to meet you" he said stretching out his hand to shake his. Harvey beamed when he saw Alyssa blush as she introduced Aaron as her boyfriend.

O__O

Louisa's eyes almost fell out of her face from the sudden squeeze she got, no matter how used she got to Kita's greetings, they always... were effective. The younger girl patted her back before pulling free and looking at her friend.

.. who was crying. D: WHY WAS SHE CRYING?

Louisa's mouth was open slightly and she didn't reply instantly. Her lump got to go first. Gulping and wearing a brave face, she forced a smile, "It's okay, Kita." Putting a hand on the girl's arm for comforting, "You're just... not going to be.. in .. a place." Swallow. "You've had your turn here and... time for more... kiddies to.. join us." And Louisa was so going to kill the kiddies next year for taking the place of her BESTIE.

Justin sat back with a huge smile on his face, " It's about time you to got together. Well done, you guys. I'm glad to see your bright smile, Alyssa."
" Harv, did your folks approve you stopping at my house when we pull into London? You never let me know for sure." asked Justin.

Alyssa, Justin, Harvey, Aaron and all my other friends..

Minerva giggled as Alyssa told everyone about Aaron. "I am so glad you finally told everyone. I didn't want to ruin it, but I wanted to tell them so bad." She was horrible at keeping secrets, but she did not want to ruin it for Alyssa to be able to tell the good news for everyone. She sat smiling at all her friends. They were all so happy. All dating.. Minerva realized in every way she was the third wheel. Oh well at least summer was here and she wouldn't have to be the weird friend that hung out with all the couples. Aaron sat down quickly. "Oh my Aaron what did you do now?" Minerva never underestimated him. She watched her friends talk to each other and just took in the site then she thought about summer and how she was going to miss all of them.

Harvey beamed "Yep! but they wont make it since my muggle cousins are staying over, they are going to take them sightseeing around London. So it will be just me and Ronnie." he said smiling. He was happy to be spending time with his friends over the holidays.

Amethyst just smiled softly, watching everyone else. She kept to herself, keeping absolute quiet. She was happy for Aaron and Alyssa. Double A, she'd refer to them as. Amethyst, frankly, was worried. About next term, house points, Quidditch, Gobstones, Classes....and Kyle. She was nervous, and got more nervous, as seconds ticked by.

" Minerva, Ame and I are gonna try to get to a couple of your dance competitions. And you've got an open invitation to my house if you're ever in the neighborhood." Justin smiled. " Are you able to come to the dinner party? "
" Great! I'll send an owl to my mother tonight so she's got a good count."

As Cassie made her way to the HufflePuff table she pulled every single hufflepuff student walking in her vicinity towards her and glomped them fiercely. The first years even got little kisses on their forehead while she was hugging them. Did this count as assault? Of it did she didn't care. Did they not know how much Cassie Storm loved her house and her house-mates?

When she finally reached the table she hugged the person next to her and the person on the other side, then she looked fondly at the silverware. She would miss those too. They did serve the puffs didn't they, so yes they were precious. Why did she not notice how beautiful the wood of the table was before now? So lovely. She rubbed it fondly.

"I love you table, and I'm going to miss you." Hair flip.

Minerva startled when Justin talked to her. She was deep in thought. "Oh, umm when is it again. I can check my schedule I have it right here." Minerva pulled out her schedule from her bag.

Treyen resisted the urge to roll his eyes at Cassie's behavior as he watched her make her way to the Great Hall. He'd arrived after her, mainly because he decided at the last minute to join the other students at the feast. He...would rather not think this was the last time he'll be seeing a few of them at Hogwarts, but he'll see them once they were out of the Castle, right? Right.

It still wasn't the same, but the thought made him feel a bit better. Except...he couldn't help to think about it, especially since Cassie spoke to the table.

Not even caring who was sitting next to her (because he was now occupying that spot) the Prefect half-hugged the seventh year, "And I'll miss you," he was talking to Cassie, not the table, okay?

" Why so quiet, Love? You're nervous about going home aren't you? Don't worry I'll be right there with you." Justin smiled as he gave his girlfriend a squeeze.
" My mom tried to make it easier for everyone to attend. We're having it a couple of hours after we get off the train in London. I do hope you can attend. Can't you make it? It wouldn't be the same without you." he pleaded.

Minerva smiled "Oh ok, yes I should be able to then. Mom isn't picking me up I was just taking a taxi to the airport to fly to Germany so I could come there first. My flight isn't until later I was just going to hang out at the airport." Minerva didn't realize she hadn't looked at Justin at all as she was talking to him. She was staring at someone who had been right in front of her the entire term. She hurried and looked down when she realized she had been starring at him. Hoping he didn't notice.

Harvey smiled as Minnie giggled, he was still getting used to hearing her giggle after a while. He vowed to hang out with Minnie while on holiday, just the two of them. He would like that alot! Then he heard Justin tell Minnie that he and Ame were going to attend Minnie's competitions over the summers and tell him that he will send an owl to his mother informing her. Minnie then went ahead and checked her schedule to see if Minnie could attend Justins party. He hoped she would. He then looked at Minnie and saw her looking at him and then looked down. Huh he wondered why she just did that. Why look down when he looked at her? Did she know what he was thinking? Oh god he would have to be more careful. He continued to look at her, he ended up staring at her without even realising it as he was looking at everything about her. Her face, eyes, hair everything. He then shook himself hoping that nobody noticed. He didnt want people to know yet what he had realised these past few days.

Cassie looked up as she felt someone hug her? What was this? Someone was sharing her sentimentality? How lovely. It was Treyen! Uber cute all grown up Treyen! She grabbed his head and hugged it. Rubbing the side of his face as she pressed her cheek against the top of his head. She would miss this little guy so much.

And now she was getting teary. See Treyen was proof that she had grown up and it was his turn now to be head of the school and so all the seventh years had to go.

She finally released him. "I'm going to miss you too! I'm so proud of you Mr." She beamed at him.

"Did you know this old table was so beautiful?" She looked at the table fondly again.

She smiled wide, leaning into him. She had the best group of friends (and boyfriend) ever. She tried thinking of life without them, pfft. Thinking process Denied.

Minerva started playing with her fork watching and staring again.. Oh boy stop staring Minnie.. Stop staring he's going to notice. She put the fork down and tried to figure out what to do or say. She got up and walked to the Gryffindor table. She was gone awhile and then came back and sat down hoping to have her head back where it needed to be.

Awww....

...O_o

WAIT! HIS HAAAAAIIIIIR, CASSIE! HIS HAIR!

Sigh. Fine. She was leaving, he'll let it go. But he was positively frowning by the time she released him. And, yes, he begun to rearrange whatever Cassie had messed up before turning his face to her again.

Too many girls have gotten away with messing his hair this year. Not cool. First Victoria, then Ellie, and now Cassie. TOO MANY. Though, he was sure Arya had done so at some point.

No tears, please. "Thanks." Lexi had also said that, and he had no idea why Cassie was now saying the same thing. And he chuckled next, "It actually isn't, but I can see why you'd say that." Because the table was just a table, but knowing this was the last time you'll see it as a student...well, honestly, Treyen wouldn't feel different about the table, but Cassie seemed to.

Strange. But...yeah.

Just as Harvey had shook himself for staring at Minnie, she got up and went to the Gryffindor table. He didnt watch her as he didnt want people to notice what he was thinking. So he just sat there, when she suddenly came back. His heart beat faster. He had to ask "Mins are you ok? Why did you up and leave like that? I thought you werent going to come back." he asked as he leaned in towards Minnie so that he wouldnt have to shout over everyone. He hoped nothing was wrong, he would hate to see that.

Justin leaned towards his two best friends, " ya know i've seen this before." And with that Justin sat back and wiggled his eyebrows at them. It had been obvious for weeks now and they thought he wouldn't notice. Justin sat there just giggling at them. it was really cute , actually.
" Say there, Beautiful? What do ya say to one last walk down to the waterfall before we leave on holiday? Just you and me. " said Justin as he gave her a kiss on the cheek.
" We'll catch up in the commonroom later then? " he said as he winked at Minerva; letting her know she wasn't flying beneath the radar with him.

Alyssa noticed Nessie sitting all by herself. So called over to her,"Nessie what are you doing way over there? Come join us here. Aaron could you scoot over and make room for her please," Alyssa smiled at Aaron before beckoning her friend over. Nessie still didn't look well and Alyssa was worried about her but at least she was going home. She could rest up there. Alyssa missed someone else too. Penny. She hadn't seen her since after the match. She hoped that she was okay. 'Maybe I'll see her on the train," Alyssa thought to herself.



Alyssa couldn't help but laugh when she saw Cassie hug their table. "Cassie what are you doing? I knew that you were going to miss Hogwarts but I didn't think you were going to miss it that much!!". She ran over to hug Cassie. "I didn't get to know you that well, but I'm going to miss you too."

Alyssa was returning to join her friends and noticed Minerva and Harvey looking at each other awkwardly. She started to smile.





Definitely something was going on between the two of them. Avoiding each others eyes, staring at the other and then looking away when the other looked back. All very familiar signs indeed. So Alyssa went over to Harvey and whispered in his ear,"Remember what I told you once before, Harv. Don't wait too long. You might not get another chance."

She then discreetly moved over to Minnie and whispered in her ear. "If you like him , and I somehow know that it may be more than like, don't let him go without telling him. You might regret it later." Alyssa whispered in Minnie's ear.

She then returned to where Aaron was, and lay her head on his shoulder. Alyssa was happy.

HARVS

Justin

Alyssa


"Oh Harvs I'm fine I was just trying to get Ronnie and Rose to come over and join us." She knew she was safer not to do anything stupid that way. She looked at him and smiled and small confused smile. Yes confused that was the best word for it. Then Justin leaned in and what, what did he say. She blushed the brightest red she had blushed all term. "Justin what are you talking about?" She tried to act confused, but she knew that he knew her to well and her face was giving her away. She looked away and tried to figure out what to say or if she should just get up and run away. She looked around to see if Ronnie and Rose were coming yet. Kind of glad they didn't follow right away for she didn't want them to read into her blushing and get them upset with her. She couldn't think of Rose being mad at her again and hurting Ronnie, no way was that going to happen. THEN Alyssa came over to her. That is when she knew it was to obvious and if it was to obvious to all of them it would be only a matter of time for Ronnie as well. Minerva started to panic her breathing got quick. She couldn't hurt her friends she was so confused. She looked at Alyssa and whispered. "Please not now Alyssa, it can't be, I don' know what I want or what I'm doing" She had to get out of there, she had to.
