Minerva blushed when Justin said all she would need was him. Wow she didn't think she would ever be like this with her best friend. She smiled sweetly at him. He then poked at her and she giggled turned towards him she began tickling him. "Two can play at that."

Justin began to laugh hysterically as Minerva tickled him, " Come on , Min. That tickles....i'm gonna get you next you just wait....when ya least expect it too. " he said through his chuckles.

Minerva was laughing as she was tickling Justin. "Bring it on Justin you know I have some good tricks up my sleeve." she stopped tickling him enough to get up off the chair and hurry over to get another drink. As she did she turned pushing her blonde hair over her shoulder and sticking her tongue out at him then laughing again.

'Yay,' Daisy grinned, 'I might not win though,' she giggled, hiccuping and looking at the coloured board. 'I'm a bit dizzy, like my name.' For some reason, Daisy really liked her new name - Dizzy - which a very hyper and excited Aaron had made up under influcence of Dr Pepper...

" Well, you're not allowed a wand, my love. So, what tricks will you have then ? " justin said as he chuckled at her sticking out her tongue at him.

Minerva crossed her arms and eyed him. "And why would I not be allowed my wand?" she shook her head and gave a grin "Doesn't matter your just muscle I have the brains I would still win." she knew he would know she was just teasing, she hoped. She jumped back in the seat handing him another Dew. "I'm just kidding you know. Your smart even if you won't admit it."

" because I know what you can do with that wand of yours." he teased. " And I don't want to end up with green hair." he chuckled. " Yeah, more brains than me, but I could flip you up in the air. " then she said he was smarter than he ould let on. " Thanks, Min. I don't know where I'd be without you. " Justin smiled and kissed her softly and looked back at her. He was really falling for her more and more withh eachh passing day, but didn't want to rush things wth her. She was too impportant to him for him to ruin what hey had by rushing.

Minerva opened her D.Coke and took a drink. "You would be fine without me and you know it. All of you would be." she had heard that same line from Harvey so many times and now he was fine with Ame. She smiled at the thought of those two together. She was so happy for them. "This term started out so bad, but has turned around so nicely."

" Min, I'm serious. I don't know how to tell you how much you mean to me....I watched from afar before. Last term as alot harder for me than you think." justin said as he looked away for a moment. " I'm glad they got together too. Time is best to eal our wounds. " He said as he looked back at her and smiled.

Well, this was...

...what was going on in the Common Room?

Blink.

Oh. Aaron was of-age now? This was the usual reaction when people turned seventeen? If so, then he took it rather well when it was his time to turn seventeen. Almost too well. He didn't even match Ellie's excitement over the fact that she could now do magic, not that she hadn't been doing that since Hogwarts begun, but...Ellie's excitement didn't even match Aaron's.

He stood next to a girl he had yet to meet, and chuckled, "I guess one doesn't turn seventeen too often, right?" That's probably why Aaron was going overboard and asking for a game of...Twister? Cerulean probably had one of those.

Minerva was enjoying and listening to Justin she blushed a bit when he talked about how much he liked her. "Well Justin I'm glad things have worked they way they have. Would you like some cake or cookies? I think I'm going to get a cookie." she went to get up when she saw the head boy come in and not look very happy or maybe just confused. She looked around at everyone and didn't want anyone to get into trouble. She went over to him. "Umm excuse me. I hope you don't mind my little celebration I had to welcome Aaron back. He wasn't coming this term and he surprised us with his return. Since it was his birthday as well I decided to celebrate a little." she hoping that was ok.. "Would you like a cookie or something?" She stood hoping no one would get into trouble for having food in the common room or the socializing that was going on.

"Um...sure a few cookies sound good. Thanks , Babe. " he answered . then she got up and then he saw Treyan come into the commonroom. He decided to go and say hello.
" Good to see you again , Treyan. how've you been? And don't worry we'll make sure everything is tidied up when we're done. I'll make sure of it. " Justin said as he stretched out his hand towards the HeadBoy.

Er. Evelyn smiled when a young girl asked if she wanted to join the birthday party. "Well, thanks..but not now. I don't feel hungry...or thirsty.." Er. Yeah.

She turned towards the guy who had cake all over his face and grinned. "Happy Birthday, Aaron!" It was weird..considering the fact that she didn't know the guy at all. It was amazing that his friends had thrown him such a great party though.


Evelyn was about to walk back to her chair when a guy nearby spoke. "Yeah, I guess. I'll be turning seventeen in a few months so I'll know soon enough.." She grinned as she turned towards him and extended her hand. "Evelyn Wellington." Yeah. She definitely needed to introduce herself to people.

Oh, what?

Treyen smiled, "No, no, I don't mind. It's not the first time a party is being held in the Common Room," so it was all perfectly fine, really. It was all fine. They might as well the time they have to relax before exams come around.

"Actually, I just ate, but thanks anyway." No, no, he was full. He couldn't possibly eat or drink anything at the moment.

Blink. She was also on the road to being of-age? There were quite a few this year, weren't they? "Are you also throwing a party like this one?" was the Head Boy also invited to that one? Actually, the most important question was..., "When?" when was her birthday, of course.

Oh! Introductions! Best smile forward, "It's incredibly nice to meet you, Evelyn," for one, this Evelyn wasn't as scary as last year's Head Girl, "I'm Treyen," he said, extending his hand to shake hers, "Lockhart." He added that bit, just in case. She had introduced herself with her full name, after all.

"How...long have you been at Hogwarts?" He was actually surprised he hadn't met her yet.

Minnie smiled at Justin "Ok I will get you some." She walked over and got the cookies after talking with the Head boy and brought them back eating one while she sat down next to him again.

Minerva took a sigh of relief she was so afraid of getting into trouble or worse lose points. "Well if you want anything it's right over there and I promise to clean everything up. My name is Minnie by the way. I don't think I have ever really introduced myself."

" thanks, Min. " Justin said as she handed the cookies to him. " Hey, did you make that pizza of yours? I've been looking foward to that. " he said with a smile.

When he asked if she was going to throw a party, Evelyn laughed. "No. Not at all. I mean, I don't know..I'm new and I hardly know anyone." She pushed her hands into the pockets of her jeans. Gosh, she felt so old! Seventeen! Eeek. It was actually terrifying. "Have you turned seventeen yet?" When was her birthday? "I guess I still have time. It's in April."

Evelyn couldn't help but grin back as she removed a hand from her jeans' pocket to shake his hand. "It's really nice to meet you too, Treyen. That's a lovely name." Yeah, she'd never really heard of that name before.

"Started this year. I'm still getting used to things here, I guess." Evelyn gave a small shrug of her shoulders.

Minerva smiled and pointed at the table
On Table:

"I told you I would and there it is."

justin had been too busy looking Minnie he felt like a moron as she pointed to he pizza that had been there the whole time. He blushed as he stood up, " You want a slice? "

Minerva smiled. "Sure if your getting up to get one."

Sure. The Head Boy nodded. "Of course, thanks." He'll keep that in mind, he'll probably get thirsty, not hungry. But then she mentioned the cleaning..., "I can help you out, if you want." He didn't want to leave it to the house elves, really, plus...with magic, the room will be completely neat in no time.

Oh, she was right. "And I'm Treyen. No, I don't think so either. My bad." He'd been Prefect when she started Hogwarts, he should've taken his time to introduce himself to the new kids.

Perfect! She was new! Which meant that he shouldn't feel so bad for not recognizing her at all. Awesome. Then again, he could've taken his time to meet the newcomers at the feast or the first night of the school year or something like that.

Anyway...so, she wasn't throwing a party? That was cool. It was Arya the one who threw him one last year, after all. He wouldn't been okay without one, truth be told.

He nodded as she spoke. It wasn't easy, was it? Being new? "Well, now you know me." He said, with a wide smile, as if knowing him was such an accomplishment. He was, of course, kidding. "Yeah, I turned seventeen in...," her birthday was in April? For real? "...April." Now he was curious..., "I was born April 10th...," and he was kind of hoping she hadn't been born on the same day, or it'd be rather freaky stuff.

And the he blushed. From the name comment. "I can hardly take any pride in that." He wasn't the one to choose his name. No one's ever mentioned it was lovely, though.

"And what made you join us?" typical question, he knew, but he wanted to know. He always wanted to know that whenever a transfer crossed his path. Like Lewis.

Actually...they could just...sit somewhere, right?

Nate went to another place in his book and started to play it on his ocarina. The lyrics in the notebbok read

Dang it! She was certain Glenn had taken the spotlight off of her. She blushed deeply as she listened to Minerva. "Well...we both had felt something different between each other...but we didn't say anything to each other. We just kept to ourselves.." She smiled, thinking of it all. "And then at the Garden, I couldn't take it! I just told him!" She giggled. "And he said he felt the same way... and I kissed him on the cheek...he kissed me back on the cheek.." She smiled nodding.
She nodded. "It's alright.." She giggled softly.

Evelyn moved a little to the side. "Er. Do you want to sit somewhere? Looks like we are just standing in the way."

She laughed. "Yeah. Now, I do know you." Oh, his birthday was in april as well. Now, that's cool. However, if they shared the same birthdate..that would be scary.

o_O

Did he just say that he was born April, 10? "Oh..wow. I was born on April, 10 as well.." Thankfully, they didn't share the year as well. THAT would be super creepy. "Ah. Well, that's...cool, eh?"

She gave a small chuckle when she saw him blushing. Aw. "Well, yeah but it's still a nice name."

"Um. Well, I was studying in a private school in France but my family decided to move back to England so here I am. I love it here, to be honest." Evelyn said, looking around the common room.

"Huh." Nate then got into a really deep thought. It was like he was being mezmarized by the song he just played. You coud tell he was in a transe by the look in his eyes.
