"Well yes I have thought about it before. I did like you once last term. But..you were with Ame and you loved her so much, then you started with those wands and I just knew that we were only to be best friends." she tried to smile through her wet face and placed her head on his shoulder again.

My mum figured that all out and Ame and I had to this spell thing with my mother and Jyle... If we hadn't it would have most definately killed one of us..Now the bond between us is driven by our feelings..." he explained. He was secretly hoping that maybe she still felt something for him, but then there was Harvey... He decided not to try and persue her...He didn't want to hurt and betray his best friend.
" I suppose you're right, but I have always loved you Minnie as a friend and sister. " Justin felt a little piece of his heart break as he allowed himself to be defeated.

But if you two are not going to be together have you ever thought about.." she looked around then whispered in his ear "Alyssa?"

'Sometimes, it's just best not to know too much, Lyssie,"Alyssa thought to herself. 'If they want me to know what's going on, they'll tell me.'

She needed to speak with her because she needed to know the reason why she was leaving. Professor Hadley at least deserved to know the truth.

"Well then I think you should talk to her, but first you need to make sure you are completely done with Ame. I don't want to see Ame hurt over this. Ame is one of my best friends so is Alyssa." she was beginning to feel a little torn between the two. "So just make sure you know what your doing. Listen to your heart on this."

Yeah, probably. He was going to have to agree with Arya on this one, and why? Well, the awful truth was finally going to be let out for his best friend to hear. Just his best friend, okay? No one in the room would be able to hear this. "Perhaps." No, not yet, the truth was coming. "I'm not exactly convinced I'm the one that should lead them, though."

THAT was the truth. The reason why what Arya had said at the feast worried him so much and had made his smile disappear.

Of course, the smile was meant to vanish any minute now because the topic was kind of bittersweet. "I know he is." One year younger than he was. And Treyen was worrying about doing a good job as Head Boy. That seemed like nothing compared to what Simon had to deal with.

"I'm not sure, he sounds glad about it all." Perhaps the boy had been more mature than Treyen ever considered him to be. And...in all fairness, Treyen was kind of thrilled to be someone's best man.

She did prefer the outdoors, but that didn't mean she didn't like the common room. The Hufflepuff common toom had to be the best, it was right by the kitchen which meant they got free food and it had all sorts of beautiful decor. Nessie just loved the place.

Feeling tired, Ness walked into the common room. She looked around and saw most of her friends sitting together, and she usually would have headed in their direction, but when she saw little Messer she went to him instead. He was so small and cute and just too sweet. Plonking onto the couch next to him she took a seat."Hey Messer, how's it been??" She'd talk to her friends later now she wanted to make sure the firstie was doing alright, she wanted to look out for him. She needed to learn how little boys worked, seeing as she'd be getting her own little brother soon. She had mixed feelings about it, but she planned to make the best of it.

"I'm sorry I'm not around. I've been trying to make you something." She threw the box in his hand. "I can read you. But I never thought I'd hear this." Ran to her room.

" It's just that I didn't get a clear answer as to whether or not you still wanted to be with me. " Justin pleaded as he got up and tried to go after her.

Amethyst shook her head as she turned around. "Justin. Wellheart." She still had her fists clenched. "Can you not read me?" She began to walk towards him. She stop after two steps, knowing that rage and anger unexplainable was rising faster and faster with every breath. "Yes! I want to be with you! But it looks like you didn't even think about that. You went right ahead thinking of someone else." Saber was sitting at her feet with a letter in his mouth. She looked at Saber, who was giving the note to Justin. "I was going to tell you to meet me at the lake. I painted a picture of us." She turned and slowly walked to the common room entrance. "But I'm not sure if you'll want it now."

" Of course I can read you, but....." He stopped himself before saying anything else and took the letter from Saber as he pet him a few times and scooped him up to give him a kiss. He opened the letter and with it was a picture of him and Ame.... " Ame, I do love you, But you .... You seemed distant and I thought you needed your space. " he pleaded. " And , yeah I do like her , but i love you and would always pick you over anyone.... You should know that. I just thought that maybe you had changed your mind about me..."

"I was distant because I was making that picture." The picture had a lot of detail. Right down to the little hairs on the side of his face. She gripped the rail of the stair case and looked at him. "Your ring matches your mother's." She glanced at the box she had thrown. "And I'd never change how I feel about you. You are the only guy I've ever liked." She turned, taking a deep breath, her voice beginning to crack.

You know that you are the only girl for me....It's just that guys always look just in case..." He had been secretly working out for quidditch . Plus, he had grown so much he didn't like looking awkward and lanky. He pulled her closer to himself and gave her a kiss. " So, if you'll have me and forgive me.... I'm asking you now to be my girlfriend. " he said as he shot her one of his naughty little half grins. " This is a beautiful drawing, I really like the detail you put into it. "

"You're perfect for the job," Her voice was just as low so that not even Muffs could hear. "They couldn't have picked a better Head Boy." Seriously. No one could best her co-prefect of that she was certain, and possibly bias.

BUT IT WAS TRUE.

"Well if he's happy then I suppose that's all we can hope for." Happiness was most important. But still... he was so young. She couldn't imagine having her life all planned out and stuff at such a young age. Though she did have an idea of what she wanted post-graduation. "Speaking of futures and such.. we'll have to put off extra time to study for NEWTS 'cause I'm applying to a couple of universities." And to get in, she'd need excellent marks.

But she was going to have to regain something of him, before she knew for sure. First Minerva and now this? Would she ever trust another female again? Only time could tell. "Thank you. And I'll be your girlfriend." She gave him a peck on the cheek.
