Minerva rolled her eyes teasingly "OK love birds enough already." she smiled as she joked with them.

Harvey saw her blush.. and then she spoke "You arent short.." he said to her as she looked at him.. and then brushed away a strand of hair and put it behind her ear.. but that made her look down.. and so he moved her face up gently so that he could look into those eyes again... before he kissed her forehead. He then heard Minnie call them love birds.. and smiled shyly. Yep love birds.. they were all love birds.. Justin and Minnie were not far from that either.. "Well .. what are you two then? " he asked chuckling

Amethyst could feel her heart pound as his warm skin lifted her chin, making her look into those comforting eyes. She smiled slightly as her kissed her forehead. She was shorter than her friends, so that made her short! She giggled at Minerva and Harvey. "You both are silly.." She stuck out her tongue at them both playfully.

Justin smiled and chuckled at Harvey and Amethyst. Who would've thought this could happen...." Well, that's not the point, Harv. The point is we're all happy and we're all still together. " Justin said with a beaming smile.

Harvey grinned as Ame called him and Minnie silly and he looked at Justin as he spoke and agreed with him "Yes we are... happy and together.." he said as he looked at Justin and Minnie.. yep the four of them were together and happy. It still felt strange to him how this had all happened quickly and without warning.

Nom. Nom. Nom. Hogwarts foods definitely the best food he ever tasted in his life. It taste like 5 stars restaurant. The house elves definitely know what they were doing even though they're quite weird and scary they're really know how to make a good food.

Messer looked up when he heard a girl voice. "Umm..Hello there." he greeted the girl. "Sure. Be my guest." he scouted over so the girl can sit. "I'm Messer by the way. I'm a first year." he introduced himself. "And you're?"

Ella smiled wide. Going to the kitchens seemed like a great idea and she had yet to venture down there. She shook her head up and down with a mischievous smile. "Yes, that would be great!... You don't think we'll get in trouble for that do you?" She was just a first year and didn't want to lose house points but she did love an adventure.

Ella felt the corners of her mouth moving into a smile and bit her lip when Ian asked about how her dog was doing. Oh, we're joking now are we? That's a good sign. She pretended to be offended, grabbing her chest dramatically. "Why I never!" She couldn't hold back her amusement though, and began to laugh. "She-well she still stays near the exits when I'm in the kitchen...can't say I blame her!" She smiled at Ian, happy to have a new friend to joke around with.

He watched as she reacted to his proposal. There had to be something more than what was offered at the table. Some scrumptios morsels prepared by the cooks. "I don't know really? I haven't tried it yet. But it does seem like a good idea." He glanced over again at the offerings on the tables. He liked fruit and breads and pastries, but he'd really like to know if they had some meat pies and chips.

He laughed as she clutched at her chest and feigned indignation. Her response was priceless and brought joy to Ian's heart. The first real joy he'd had since he got here. "Well, I suppose now I'll know that if we're near a stove that I should be close to one as well." He smiled as widely as he had in a long time.

She nodded. He was right. Didn't matter who was with who. She thought now was a good time to tell them the good news. "So.. I'm not moving in with my Papa...he's moving in with Kyle, Justin, Vinnie, and I!" She squealed with joy.
She smiled looking at the boys. "I was thinking...this year we have a party just us four. No one else." She giggled tilting her head slightly.

Harvey smiled and then Ame spoke as she told them something. His eyes went wide.. they were all going to live together... that was so cool.. "Thats really nice Ame." he said as she squealed with joy. Before adding that she thought they should have a party for just the 4 of them.. and then she giggled and Harvey sighed.. "Thats a good idea.. what do you guys think?" he asked Minnie and Justin.. and this would mean planning for Minnie to do. well she had always been the even planner and he wasnt going to take that away from her.

Ella smiled, her mind set on going to investigate the kitchens. "Well, I'm in then! I have to stop by the girl's dormitory to drop off my bag but I can meet you down there!" She held up her messenger bag, her arm straining with the weight. She had insisted on carrying several books with her at all times in case she was up for some light reading. Now she was regretting the heavy load and couldn't wait to rid herself of the bag and its contents. She plopped it down on the bench with a sigh. "It's my own fault for carrying around so much stuff!"

Ian seemed quite keen on teasing Ella about her lack of skills in the kitchen and she was quite amused by their current banter. She shoved him playfully and stood, heaving her bag over her shoulder. "Yeah yeah, if you fancy your life, I'd be close to the exits at all times!" She winked at him and started for the door. Turning around before she got too far away she called to Ian, "Meet me at the kitchens then? I'll be there soon!"

" hey...It sounds like a good idea to me....what do you think , Min? " Justin said as he turned to her.

Ian was pleased that she was willing to investigate the kitchens with him. It did sound like a grand adventure...at least in the spirit of his recent isolationism. His mouth opened a little as she heaved up the bag. "My goodness. You certainly do enjoy a workout, don't you?" he asked. He tended to carry only what was absolutely necessary. He wondered if there was some sort of magical pouch that would magically lighten the load. I can meet you down there...it's on our level, correct?"

He smiled as she shoved him and responded. "I'll keep that in mind. Of course perhaps if we try together, we can avoid any visits by the firemen." He grinned as she stood and he stood as well, finishing off his cup of water. As she went off, he looked around to make sure he hadn't left a mess. His mum had incorporated cleanliness into him and sometimes it bordered on obsession that he couldn't possibly leave anything for others to clean up. He stacked his cup on the saucer and then did the same for hers. "See you soon" he smiled back at her as she disappeared out the door. He soon followed.

Laura came and sat down. She was being tormented. Everything unclear. She didn't know where she was going, neither did she know what she was doing. She tried to convince herself that nothing bad was going to happen. Deep inside, she knew that she could never convince herself that way. Trouble was on the way. She just knew it. She could never be wrong.

She didn't know where she was sitting, nor who was sitting next to her. She suddenly came back to her senses and looked around and realised she was sitting next to Justin, facing Harvey. She forced out a smile. 'H-Hi..,' she said.

Minerva listened as Ame talked about her dad moving in with all of them. "That's great Ame it will be nice for you to have everyone together." then she said about a party. "Of course I like the idea. When do you want to have it?" Just then Laura sat down and looked confused "Laura are you ok? What's been going on with you lately?"

Laura sighed. 'I'..I'm..,' no she didn't want to lie anymore. She wanted to open up with someone. But she didn't have a bestfriend. Of course, she had close friends. And the four amigos were among them.

'I'm not..It's..It's the dreadful things I'm dreaming about..like everyday,' Laura was almost in tears.

"Oh Laura that's not good. What is the dreams about?" she was worried about her friend. "Maybe you should see the healer or go to the potions lab and make a sleeping potion to help you sleep."

'I don't know..just don't know Minnie..I mean I've had the same kind of dreams before my sister's death..and now..I see..I see my mother..,' Laura trailed away. She knew that if she continued, she would break into tears.

Amethyst smiled. "Perhaps a day when the weather is just splendid!" When she said this, her accent stuck out so much. It had never don't that before.
Amethyst smiled when she saw Laura. It faded as she saw something was wrong with her. "You okay, Bud?" She tilted her head in concern.

Amethyst held her friend close. She didn't realize how much Laura had been through. "We are here or you.." She smiled a reassuring smile to her.

Harvey listened as the 3 girls talked.. it was not nice to have dreams like that and everyone knew that, and he smiled at the support that Laura was receiving. Yup that was them.. they supported each other in times of need "I agree we are here for you Laura.. and I agree with Minnie too.. maybe you need to go to the healer to take something to help you sleep.." he said to her he had told the same thing to someone a while ago. he wondered if they had listened and gone to the healer..

Justin sat and listened to everyone and nodded as they all made their points. then the three girls started talking and he couldn't keep up with the conversation. So, he turned to his best friend and said, " So, Harv. Ya wanna go get that workout done a little early today. We can let the girls gab a bit while we're out there. " he smiled.

"Well don't let us keep you." Minerva smiled at the boys. Then she looked back at Laura. "Well do you think you should owl your mom about what's going on in your dreams?"

Harvey was listening to the girls when Justin turned to him.. and asked him about working out "Er... sure Justin.. we can do that... yes we can.. and it will give these girls time to spend some time with each other.. you know girl time.." he said chuckling.. as he looked at all the girls around them.. when Minnie spoke to them and her comment made Harvey chuckle.. "Well I dont think we will Mins." he chuckled

Adeline just stood there awkwardly. She didn't know what to do while she was waiting for the boy to respond to her.

Adeline smiled. She let out a great big sigh of relief. It's hard to know if people are going to be nice to you or if they're going to be mean to you. She knew that most of the Hufflepuff's that she met are nice though. So that wasn't so bad. Adeline nodded and sat down next to the boy. "Thank you." she said sweetly. "Nice to meet you Messer." she said in a nice tone. "Oh, I'm Adeline. First Year." she said tucking her dark brown hair behind her ear.

It was going to be a long day, he knew this the second he woke up, mainly because he'd woken up too early to even come to the Great Hall for breakfast...but then he fell asleep again...and overslept. He'll make sure to thank Damien and Chandler for that. Though, really, it was Saturday, but it was also time for lunch...

...and he was finally hungry.

"Hmmmm." Treyen really didn't know what to eat. Really. And there were so many things to choose from.
