Harvey had looked almost everywhere for Ronnie, he needed to talk to her. He was about to leave when he saw her looking upset. He went up to her, he looked back at Minnie. Then he put his hand on her shoulder

Minerva spotted the girl. "There Harvey, there she is. I'm staying here.. Good Luck." Minerva felt that pull inside her again, but she brushed it off. She took a seat at the edge of the gazebo close enough for support far enough not to be a bother.

Harvey felt his heart being pulled in two directions 1 half towards Minnie, the other half towards Ronnie. He looked back at Minnie his eyes asking what he should do.

Minerva felt nervous. Why was she feeling nervous it was Harvey going through this. She knew it was because she was his friend and didn't want to see him get hurt. She didn't mean to, but loudly she said. "GO TALK TO HER." Minerva's hand quickly went to her mouth. She knew the girl had to have heard her. "Sorry" She mouthed.

Harvey jumped when she shouted, but he nodded and turned to Ronnie again "Ronnie?" he said with his hand on her shoulder

Minerva took out her wand and her egg. She didn't want the girl to feel uncomfortable like she was being watched. Minerva moved Sparkles back and fourth in her hands. Then she pointed the wand at the egg "Argentum Humidus" the egg started to get liquid on it. Minerva always enjoyed doing these spells. She then looked up to see what was going on with Harvey and the girl.

Katrina brought with her the metal egg she got from Charms class. When she settles down on a bench, her egg started shivering.

"Oh no, don't Shiver, poor little Aimée," That was Katrina's name for her egg. She took her wand out and pointed it on the egg.

"Argentum Calidus," Katrina said and her egg stopped shivering. She was pleased, obviously. Soon, her egg looked dirty and dusty.

"Excolo," and the egg became clean and dirt-free.

Ronnie looked up to see Harvey. "Oh hi Harvey!" she said giving a nervous sort of laugh. What the heck was that?!

Minerva watched as Ronnie turned to talk to Harvey. Something made her feel very sick. Without them seeing her she got up and took off towards the castle. Before she knew it tears were falling she wiped them away as she went towards the girls bathroom inside the castle.

Ronnie watched as the girl ran off. She shook her head. She turned to Harvey, she was done. She had to talk to this girl, not Harvey. "Please excuse me Harvey." she said, running off after her.

"Are you ok? Why did you run off like that? What happened?" Harvey asked, then taking a deep breath he said "I think it is time I...er ....I accepted something about me and you" He said very nervously.

"Oh yes of course." Harvey said, as he watched her run after Minnie. Oh my god what had happened to Minnie why was she running away? She was going to give him the support he needed in accepting his feelings. Where was she going? He would ask them what happened later when he met up with them. He let Ronnie go as maybe Minnie would feel comfortable talking to her than him.

Ronnie needed to get out of the school again. She had made it back to school but now she really really wanted to just go back home. Her dad dying was the worst thing in the world to happen and she wasn't sure how to cope.

She had withdrawn from school for a month or so and wished she would have just stayed home. Who needed school anyway? Ronnie sat down underneath the Gazebo and a tear slipped down her cheek. Why couldn't she start to feel better?

Minerva walked quietly back to the Gazebo she just wanted to slip away without them noticing her and now she put a pause in Harvey telling Ronnie she felt horrible. Ronnie and Harvey were going to talk today she was sure of it.

Harvey watched as Minnie came back "Hey Mins, what happened? why did you run off like that?" he asked Minnie holding onto her shoulders concerned.

Minerva looked at Harvey and then Ronnie. She just felt the sickness come back into her stomach. "Oh I'm fine Harvs stop looking at me like that." She pushed his hands off her shoulders. She didn't want Ronnie to get the wrong impression. "I just felt a little sick, guess I am still not 100%" She leaned over to Harvey's ear. "I'm so sorry I didn't mean to put a pause in your conversation."

"Ok that's good. Well carry on taking some medication and get yourself back to 100%" he said to Minnie confused as to why Minnie was being a bit distant with him. She whispered into his ear "Its ok, it gave me time to think. But I was more worried about you, you just took off. You are still my friend and I care about my friends. Well I am glad you are ok." he said to her. He looked round to see whether Ronnie was coming back, he saw that she was quite a way away, so he whispered to Minnie "I am going to tell her that I feel that our friendship is quite close now and that we should be a little something more that is if she wants to be more. Is that ok?" he asked her.

A day without Quidditch. Ellie should have gotten clarification on this. What entailed Quidditch? Could she still work on plays? Could she still fly? Or was it...just...nothing.

To be safe, Ellie was taking the last option. Nothing Quidditch related would be on her mind. And no OWLs studying. Just...no.

A day off was a day off.

Only...she needed something to do. Ellie was always doing something. And this weird roaming thing was....incredibly boring.

Might as well roam somewhere she hasn't properly explored, right? Even though...a gazebo was a gazebo, no? And she was already here....

GAH. The Captain pulled her winter cloak closer to her body, and took a seat. No, she wasn't paying attention to whoever was already sitting there.

This was nice, holding a normal drama-free conversation with Treyen, if not just a bit weird. But a good weird that she was enjoying also. She wasn't going to get suspicious though, the prefect would leave that to her partner.

"I never went to that." She'd skipped all the classes she could before Christmas, and since their was no NEWT for the dance class, and because her dance partner wasn't there, she felt no need to attend the lesson. A grin spread across her lips at the willow comment and she was reminded of her flying finals. "It does have the best view, but not the safest." Not that she ever worried about her own safety much, only her friends. "Maybe we'll get to enjoy that view once more before we graduate."

And though the thought of graduating wasn't as sad as it had once been, it was still something she wasn't looking forward to. Arya had called this place home for too long to be excited about the prospect of never returning.

Looking over at her friend from the rim of her hot chocolate, she gave him a slightly perplexed and completely intrigued look. "James Wilkes?" Jim had a monkey? "I didn't know he had a monkey. Or that he gave it to Lexi. What kinda monkey is Rufus?" Had to be a small one right?

Ronnie slowly followed Minnie, wondering what was going on.

She made her way up and into the gazebo, and turned to Harvey.

"Hey Ronnie. er..." he looked at Minnie "There was something that I wanted to talk to you about...er... Minnie that girl over there mentioned to me that you had a crush on me. I... er.... just wanted to ask is that....true. Dont be upset that she told me" he said adding quickly the last bit

Minerva looked at Harvey and then to Ronnie. She smiled at Harvey. "Yes I think that sounds good. Good Luck" Minerva was hoping Ronnie would just act surprised and not let it slip that Minerva kind of said something in the bathroom. "Well guys I think I'm going to go over here and check my egg." Minerva smiled at them. Then she walked over and sat down off to the side. Show time Harvey. Minerva thought.

Harvey nodded, well it was showtime.

Ronnie listened to what Harvey had to say. Her eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. 'That girl over there mentioned to me that you had a crush on me. I...er....just wanted to ask is that....true.' Ronnie didn't wanna tell Harvey. No not at all...but deep inside she felt that she needed to. So she opened her mouth, and for like five seconds nothing came out. She then clamped it shut, then sighed and opened it again, yet this time words actually came out.
"Yes...it's true..." she said, almost choking on her words.

Minerva heard them talking. Well this was it. Harvey and Ronnie are going to tell each other they are into each other. Minerva acted like she was getting sparkles out of the bag, but really she was watching the two near her.

Harvey looked back at Minnie and then to Ronnie, so Minnie was right "Well since... she said that I have done a lot of thinking and I have come to the conclusion that maybe we are too close for this... this..." Oh what can I call this? he thought to himself Not friendship or relationship..connection. yes thats it connection "connection to be called friendship any longer." he took a deep breath to calm his nerves and then carried on "Maybe it should be something more? what do you say?" he asked
