Harvey was still looking at her when she changed the subject to Muggle studies.. "Yes it is! er.. well.. didnt expect a class to be like that. But I am kind of looking forward to it.. we need the points and it will be interesting to see what the class is like... so I will be attending.. what about you? will you be attending?" he asked as he saw that she was preoccupied in her thoughts... he felt bad for her.. she had to go through so much during the summer.. but he would be there for the support she needed to get through this.. she was doing very well so far.. she would be ok soon enough..

Carigan could tell there was a hint of sadness in the girls voice, but she decided to go along as f she didn't notice. "Well, I played with my sister and parents before. I used to play on a toy broom when I was little and then a small real broom the past few years. My sister is way better than me but she goes to a school in Romania..." Carigan said, her voice now taking the sad tone.

She then looked up "Oh what a shame! If you were captain I bet you are super super awesome! Maybe you can give me pointers some time? I don't think I'm cut out to be a chaser or keeper... maybe beater. I don't think I would ever get seeker though! Isn't it a very important position? I mean I'm good at spotting small things and honing in on them but I think being seeker would be a lot of pressure, you know?"

"Well I haven't decided whether I am going to make it or not. These classes seem a lot harder this year. I feel like I'm struggling to keep up already." she said pushing around her food with her fork.

Harvey looked at her and listened to her.. "Oh ok.. yes they are a little harder but you seem to be doing well at them.. well you may feel like that.. but you are doing really well Mins" he said as she pushed the food around on her plate. He saw that she was preoccupied again. He held her hand to bring her attention to him "I mean it Mins.. you have been doing really well.. " he said to her.. as he smiled at her.. this was becoming easier he thought.. giving her support was not too hard..

Ella sat down with a thud at the table, eager to stuff her face. She might be just a little girl in build but she sure could put away a lot of food. She filled her plate to the brim and began to eat, wondering if her friends would catch up with her before she had finished. She had left them in quite a hurry! She stopped in between mouthfuls to look around the great hall. She still wasn't quite used to eating in a place that was so...well...great. She smiled as she caught the eye of a fellow Hufflepuff who seemed shocked at the amount of food that Ella was currently shoveling into her mouth.

Minerva looked up and smiled at him. Goodness is smile was so nice and his eyes always got to her. She felt herself blush and look down, "Well thanks Harvey I try my best. If only I was as good at relationships and friends as I am at some classes."

Harvey smiled when she smiled... seeing her smile always brought a smile to his face.. and then she blushed.. and that melted Harvey even more.. he liked it when she blushed.. and then she looked down.. as she spoke.. he looked at her as she spoke.. "Mins.. dont worry about it.. just.. concentrate on your studies.. other things will happen eventually.... in time." he said to her still smiling and holding her hand.. he had forgotten that he was holding her hand

Minerva looked back up at Harvey "I know and I am trying to" it's just hard when you two are around she thought to herself. "Well Harvey I probably should be heading to class. You want to walk with me?" She got up moving her hand from his and took her bag.

s they were about to leave Justin walked in and sat down and filled his plate. " Hey, you two. Where ya off to? "

Harvey smiled as she said that she was trying to "Well thats good.. its good to try.. er.. sure.. yeah... I can..er.. walk with you." he said to her smiling and realised that his hand had been holding hers all this time when she removed it to get her bag.. he rubbed the back of his neck.. and got up..



Just as he did... Justin came over..and sat down and filled his plate as he asked them where they were off to..

Minerva smiled and sat back down. "Well we were headed to class, but I guess we could stay a little longer." she looked between the to boys and her heart began to race a bit.

Harvey looked at them both.. "Yes I...er.. guess we.....er... could.. stay for a little... while..... longer... " he said as he sat back down... well this changed things... his girl and his friend.. and him... a proper triangle... he loved Mins.. Justin kissed and Mins... unsure of what she wants...

" Harv...." He said as he went to shake his hand. " Good to see ya, Mate." Justin was trying to play it cool. Harvey was , afterall his best friend.



" Oh, well don't be late on account of me. " he smiled as she sat down between them. He took a bite of his food and chewed it quickly. " I'm trying to eat a little something before I head off to class as well. I woke up late. "

Harvey smiled and shook Justin's hand.. "Good to see you too.. Justin" he said as he sat down to one side of Minnie as she sat down between them.. with each boy on either side of her.. well this was certainly going to be awkward.. the 3 of them here together after what has been happening lately between the 3 of them.. he then listened as Justin told Minnie not to be late cause of him.. he wanted to go with Minnie alone to class.. but would not look great if they left him here... Besides he knew that Minnie would not leave Justin behind..

Minerva sighed, why was to this so weird. They have been the three musketeers since last year and then became the four amigos towards the end of term. Why did they have to be awkward now. Minerva wondered where Ame was at.
"SO" but then she stopped, she didn't know what to say. "this is awkward" she shrugged it was the truth.

charlotte walked over choose a spot and waited for ella and ariana

Laura waved to Justin, Harvey and Minnie. They were talking something serious, serious and private and Laura really didn't want to butt in.

Gustav leaned his head over his chin, grinning at the stories Jezz told him about her grandfather. He frowned a little when she said her parents couldn't see how special she was...they had only one daughter, they should be the ones to be there for her at all times. If his own grandmother heard about her situation, she would have lectured them already. Oh..how he missed her so much...She was always the fearsome figure in the household but she had the most caring heart than most of his family member combine.
"One day bunică(grandmother)...I will come back soon.."he thought grimly.

"You're welcome, back home...family is important and everyone is involved even if it is a minor thing...you could see how my whole family react when they found out I was bullied in school in the past...all my uncles and my older cousins as well came to defend me...it was not a pleasant experience...I must admit..."he laughed, perhaps he would ask his grandmother to sent gifts for Jezz as a reminder she was not alone. There were always someone to care for her including him.

He took a bite on his chocolate covered apple as soon as he finished with his meal. He nodded and agreed to her offer," That would be great, it be an honour to finally meet your plants," he grinned.
"

Ella spotted Charlotte and called her over, "Charlotte! Over here." She smiled wide, hoping there was no food in her teeth.

charlotte walked over to ella and sat next to her sensing her discomfort she smiled and told her she had no food in her mouth

Minerva smiled and waved at Laura. "You can come sit if you like?"

Ella laughed. "Thanks, I was wondering if I did!" She was happy to have company and eager to know how Charlotte was liking classes so far. "So, what is your favorite class right now?" Ella loved everything that she was learning but couldn't help but have a soft spot for flying. That was truly magical.

Laura was confused..'I would love to sit with you guys..but you know..umm..I don't want to disturb you in case you were talking something private..,' she said. After all, she was just a friend, wasn't she?

Amethyst walked over to her house table. Sh sat at the very end closer to the staff table all alone. She put a few things on her plate and looked down, drawing every memory that filled her brain. She began to tear up as she saw his face, eyes dark. Kissing Minerva Wheatborn. She didn't want to be here. She didn't belong.

Minerva smiled "You are always welcome to sit with us Laura, you a friend now.. Just come over as soon as you see us. Don't wait until we ask."

Minerva walked up to Ame. "Can I sit?"
