Minerva walked up behind Justin and put her hands on his eyes. "Guess who" she giggled and then sat down beside him. "Hey stranger.. Miss me?"

Justin was waiting for Minerva when he felt the soft little hands of hers cover his eyes. He blushed as he heard her giggle. " Of course I did. What kept you? I was starting to wonder if you had forgotten me. " he joked as he smiled at her kissed her cheek.

Minerva's face lit up with a big smile. "I'm sorry I was late, but I stopped to speak with Alyssa and you will never guess who walked in the common room." she waited for him to answer, but she just couldn't wait any longer. "AARON.. He came back. Plus he gave me his badger hat." she laughed at the thought of it on her head.

" Oh , really. That's great! No problem, I was only her for a few minutes. How are they? Do you think they'll get back together? I hope so. they make such a lovely couple. " Justin said after he kissed her on the cheek. Then he started to fill his plate and pure them each a cup of tea.

Minerva smiled "I don't know I don't think they will. It seemed pretty uncomfortable between them." Minerva saw him take food and put on his plate. "You hungry there." she smiled and put some food on her plate as well. "Hey you know our assignment for transfiguration? Well I made this for you, I hope you like it." Minerva pulled the frame out of her bag blushing a bit as she handed it to Justin.

Justin smiled broadly as she showed him the picture she had made for class. " Oh, Min, it's brilliant! I love it. We look pretty good together, don't ya think? " he said as he handed the framed piture back to her. Then he began to eat...Roast beef; his favourite. " Aren't ya hungry, Love? " Justin asked as he took a sip of his tea.

Minerva looked a little off. "Justin the picture is for you to keep. It is yours. Umm.. Unless you don't want it.. then that's ok, you know what.. never mind." she said as she went to put the picture back in her bag. Why was I so stupid Minerva thought, why would he want that picture. She shook her head and tried to eat.

" Oh, I didn't realise that it was for me! Please give it to me. I'll put it on the stand next to my bed so it's the last thing I see when I go to bed and the first thing I see when I wake up. Minnie, I'm sorry that I hurt your feelings ...I just thought that you had to turn it in for homework. " Justin pleaded as he took her face in his hands. " I love that picture. " Then he gave her a little peck on the lips and gave her that little grin she loved so much.

Minerva smiled at Justin she couldn't stay upset."Here" she said handing the frame back to him. "I'm glad you like it." she smiled at him. "Ok eat your dinner before you starve" she teased.

Justin smiled as she handed the framed picture back to him. He put it in his bag and smiled at her as he took her hand and kissed it. Then he dug into his already half empty plate and after a few more mouthfuls took another sip of his tea. He loved it when she teased him. So, to be a bit smart he loaded his plate again. " Well, you did keep me waiting..." he joked.
.

Minerva stuck her tongue out at him as she took her fork to her plate of food. She really enjoyed spending time with Justin. It was fun when it was just the two of them.

" Oh, so you think you're funny do you? " Justin joked as he poked her in the side. Justin liked how they were so carefree when it was just the two of them. It had always felt that way when they were together just talking or studying. That's what he liked best....They could just be there ,anywhere and there was no stress or drama.

Minerva giggled when Justin poked her. She took another fork full of food and put in her mouth. "What class do we have next on our list?" She remembered seeing a few coming up..

" I think DADA...and...umm..." Justin was at a loss. Classes weren't his strong suit. Then he looked at her as he got another forkful and said, " I'm surprised that you don't know. Usually you tell me what classes are next. " Justin chuckled at the thought that she would think he would know that.

Minerva blushed a bit, it was true she always knew what class was next. She shook her head. "I don't know what's wrong with me this term." she took a drink of water and got into her bag to find their class schedule.

Laura smiled. 'Thanks..,' she said joining them. Was she being too polite?



Laura smiled at Amy.'Heya....,' she said.



Laura smiled at Harvey. 'Hiii Harvey...I'm good..you?,' she asked





As she saw Justin, she waved to him. 'Hey!!,' she said

" Well, alot has changed even since we came back to school. " Justin said as he smoothed the hair out of her face and tucked it behind her ear. " So, What's next? " Then he turned back to his plate and and finished what was on it.

Laura smiled at Harvey. 'Hiii Harvey...I'm good..you?,' she asked

Minerva smiled looking at the schedule 'Looks like we have" she did a little frown "Arithmancy next. that is my worse class. I struggled last year. Good thing Professor Hadley is a great teacher that doesn't mind lots of questions." Minerva smiled as she tucked her hair behind her ear. She then saw Laura walk over. "Hey Laura, how are you doing? Classes going well I hope."

" Hi, Laura. Have you come to join us or just passing through? " Justin said as he smiled at his new friend.



Minerva smiled looking at the schedule 'Looks like we have" she did a little frown "Arithmancy next. that is my worse class. I struggled last year.

As Minerva said which class was next a grimace crossed his face. He had no idea what the professor was talking about last term. " Ugh! I didn't do well in that class last term..... I'll have to get a private tutor for that one.....Oh wait a minute...I've got you! " he joked

Minerva rolled her eyes and blushed a bit. "Well you may want to find another tutor for this class. I struggled a bit. Math is just not my subject. As much as I try it just doesn't come very easy to me."

" Perhaps I will then...That's if I bother to go to that class. I've never been good with math. Good to know we've got that in common. " Justin said as he poured himself another cup of tea. " Would you like a warm up? " He asked as he held the kettle over her cup.

Minerva smiled. "You will be at the class. We can study together you will be fine. Harvey was pretty good at it, maybe he can help us both. Yes a tea warm up sounds great." she smiled pulling out her notebook from last years Arithmany class..

" Well, we'll have to ask him. " Justin said as he filled her tea cup and set the kettle back down. " What's that you've got there? "

Minerva turned a deep red. 'Oh this, well umm it's" she giggled with embarrassment knowing she was showing the side of her she hid most of last year. "Well it's last years Arithmancy notes."

" That's my Minnie...Always prepared for everything. I bet they'll come in handy this term. I didn't think to bringany of my notes from last term. " Justin smiled as he took a sip of his tea.
