Minerva just shook her head. "I don't know why you ever gave her that stupid ring. We are 12, 12 that is to young. You will probably date other people whether you want to or not. If your suppose to be with her then you will be. You can't put all this pressure on yourself to be with one person the rest of your life. Your to young to decide that. I love Ame, but come on."

Amethyst threw her trunk in the corridor. She want her sword so bad. She ploped down on her trunk. She only wanted Kyle. Just Kyle. No One else until she cooled down.

" Ame go back to the compartment we were just in. I'll be there in aminute. " Justin said. " Leave the trunk here I'll bring it back with me. "

then he turned to Minnie again, " It's the wands. they did bond Ame and I .....My heart can feel nothing until she is near. My emotions and feelings are all wonky. Like I can't control them. That book I read said that we were bonded for life... For life , Min?! If we try to part ways the wands take over and strengthen our bond.." He said witha streesed expression.

"I don't know Justin. I can't even sort my own life out. Could you get a new wand maybe?"

" I was thinking the same thing , but we'd both have to get new wands. That's if we even can."

Minerva looked at Justin with concern. "I'm sorry to not have a better answer. I know your looking for one. I just don't know. Your trying to take advice from the person that is so screwed up in the head right now it would take many years of therapy to get worked out." Minerva put her arm around Justin "I think you and Ame need to just seriously think about your feelings and what you want in life and talk about the options even if it is the option of new wands."

Amethyst picked up her trunk and left. She wasn't going to the old compartment, no.

Justin just shrugged. He did love Ame. she was the one for him. It was just this whole wand business that had him scared.
" Ame! Wait. Let me get that." he said as he took the trunk from her.

She stopped and looked down. She took a deep breath and tried to calm down.

Justin was nervous about having to talk to Ame about everything.

"Justin..." She didn't know what to say without yelling or crying so she kept quiet. She hoped Onyx got to Kyle before they left for King's Cross. She sat down, not looking at Justin, just out the window.

" Ame? would ya talk to me? Please?!" he pleaded.

She covered her mouth, breathing fast, tears falling from her eyes. "Justin do you like her? Even just a little bit? Do you want to be with me? Do you...want your ring back?" She still didn't look at him. She felt like everything was going downhill. Like..she was being abanddoned again.

Justin didn't know what to say. There were so many feelings going around in his head. He just didn't know anymore. The only thing he knew is that he loved her. truthfully in his heart he was Ame's. " No, I don't want the ring back. It's just scary ya know.... With the wands. Don't you feel it. don't you feel my frustration the way I feel your pain and fear? "

" No, I don't want your ring back. I'm just scare ...... this wand thing. Don't you feel it. My frusration? the way I feel your pain and fear? Our wands are making me crazy. the book I read said that now that our wands have found each other and bonded they've bonded us... For life. Even if you decided to dump me right now the Bloody wands will only bond us further! " Justin explained.

She threw her wand shaking her head. "That's all I feel. Justin if don't want me...just...tell me!" She wiped her eyes curling into a ball. "And do you REALLY think the wands are why we connect?! Those stupid wands don't control our feelings, Justin Wellheart. Not mine." She could breath, her face was purple and she was going to breakdown.

" You don't think I love you?! I wouldn't give you a bloody promise ring because of the flippin' wands! I love you , Amethyst. I'm just scared is all." Justin said as he knelt down beside her and pulled her shaking body close to his own. " Don't you feel that? Our hearts beat together... As one."

Her voice was way too low, emotion unknown. Her face was blank and she wanted to die. "I never said that, Wellheart." She looked at the ring. "Wellheart, I feel like in a way regret giving me the ring, as if you gave it too soon." She sighed gripping her knees, trying to forget it all. Images shot in her mind like bullets in the side of a deer. When she was placed in his arms, she felt their hearts beating together, but something was missing. Warmth. "Know that when we get home, I might not speak to you. Not because I'm mad, but because of my mind." And because I'll be training with a sword, she thought. Ugh! How she longed for that sword.

João waited patiently for her to speak, hands in pockets, because it was only poite to wait for her to explain after such a question. Oh, so this stupid 'loyalty' and 'change of place' was her problem too, like the rest of graduating people. João yearned to roll his eyes at her, but he held himself because she was obviously sad about it. One thing he would never understand, but then again, he had never stayed in one place longer than 2-3 years, so he had never known how it felt to feel he belonged somewhere--and he was grateful for his inexperience.

Shrugging, he chose his words carefully. "Too much of something is always boring, so I guess now at least you have the opportunity to remember here as sweet, just as it should be." Right? Right. If only everyone could see that...

Despite all his efforts, his mouth did fall open.

"Congratulations... I guess." No, he was not going to judge them based on his own morals. No, he wasn't going to think they were too young to even know the definition of 'marriage'. He was just going to smile, more convincingly this time, and say "I wish you happiness," and so he did, although he didn't believe there was real happiness in marriages. That was the only natural thing to say though, what she expected, and as she left, she didn't have to remember him as someone who judged her ruthlessly.

"I'm a fifth year... now a sixth, I guess." He paused, trying to think of a counter-question. "What will you be doing afterwards?"

Sweet. HA. Hardly anything about Hogwarts had been sweet aside from Stradivarius and Madame Donovan and a few choice others. The place had nearly killed her more than once. Shrugging right back she wiped at her eyes and sighed. "Upheaval from a place you have been for seven years is a bit disconcerting is all."

Ooookay. Open mouth staring was hardly ever a good sign. And he guessed she should have congratulations. Well he was probably 14 or so... no big if he didn't GET it. "Thank you very much," she said kindly to his happiness mention.

"Traveling, traveling, and more traveling. Possibly going to work at the Ministry if I do not move somewhere else," she said with a nod. "Maybe I will go to Wizarding University or something as well, who knows? There is so much to do." The thought of an infinite future made her beam.

Violet awkwardly made her way down the train corridor, looking for some of her friends, or at least an empty seat. She was trying to walk down the corridor and through the connecting doors while clutching her bookbag in one hand and the cage containing Mack, her magpie, in the other, so it was pretty difficult doing.

Lilly wondered down the corridor, absent-mindedly, not looking where she was going. The girl had basically just been chucked out of her sister's compartment. Well, not exactly, but close enough. Lilly remembered the words her older sister had said about Slytherins. It so wasn't true. Ashley was alright, and she'd never met the Mordred guy, but that was it. The stupid girl at the food trolley. She took a bertie botts bean from her pocket, putting it in her mouth. Ahh! Hot! Hot! Hot! This was red chilli! She swallowed it, quickly, taking a drink of pumkin juice to take the taste away. Ewww! She was so in her own world that she bumped into a girl. Looking up, Lilly saw a Slytherin. Here we go again...

" No, Ame I don't regret anything , except the Ronnie thing. I don't know why... I said what I said.. I never meant to hurt you. "Justin said as her held her closer,. This time all his love for her wrapped around them. Holding them together . He rested his head against her shoulder and said " when we get home we've got a party to enjoy. Do please accompany me. After that you can have all the time you need to do whatever it is you'd like. "

Although she was trying hard to avoid a collision, with so many things to carry, Violet couldn't quite avoid a Gryffindor girl about her age who was wandering up the corridor in the opposite direction, apparently not looking where she was going. Immediately, Mack began squawking and bumping around his cage in a tantrum--he was still sore about having his collection of stolen shiny objects taken away from him and returned to their owners the night before the Closing Feast.

"Oof! Sorry...," mumbled Violet, her attention on Mack as she tried to get him to calm down.

Wow! Maybe Rose was right. The only thing about this one was the mad bird. Lilly had a cat. Not so...mad? 'Sorry, it was...my fault,' she replied. Wait. Did this stubborn, silly girl just take the blame? Wow! She was starting to- how to put it?- mend her ways? 'Would you like some help?' she offered the girl, who looked like she was in a tangle with the mad bird. Lilly was being GOOD! Maybe she was becoming a Huffie like Violet, her twin.
