Minerva kept blushing and giggled. "I know such a nerd, right?" she looked over her notes quickly not to show it to much and then put it back in her bag while grabbing a roll from the table. "So Gobstones, you ready to play this year?"

Glenn walked down the Hufflepuff table and found Minerva, a girl she had seen around and about Hogwarts. "Hey!" She said, coming up and sitting by them at the table, "I'm Glenn. You're Minerva right? And you're..." She racked her brain, "Justin, right?" Glenn tucked her hair behind her ear and helped herself to some pumpkin juice as she waited for their reply.

Justin chuckled a little at her joke, " My cute little nerd. " he joked. " Yeah, I read that book you showed me and I'm ready for anything. " Justin said as he gave her a broad smile.



" Yeah, that's me. " repied Justin. " How've you been Glenn? Classes are pretty intense this term. " he smiled as he took another sip of his tea.

Minerva blushed at Justin's cute little nerd comment. She hadn't blushed this much in a long time. "Oh stop.. Are you my cute ball of anger or my cute jock then?" she teased. Then Glenn sat down next to them. "Oh hey Glenn how are you doing?"

Amethyst walked over to the Huffie house table, giggling. She had just gotten a letter from her father. "Hey guys!" She smiled, waving to them. She kicked her short legs back and forth as she sat on the bench to the table.

Minerva smiled when she saw Ame sit down with them. 'Hey Ame, whatcha been up to?" Minerva reached in her bag and pulled out to identical picture frames. "Hey I was bored and went down to the transfiguration practice room and made these. I made enough for each one of us to have them." She handed Justin and Ame the frames.

Amethyst waved giggling. "I've been...out." She smiled nodding. When she pulled out the picture frames, she gasped and nearly threw her arms around Minerva, but remembered she had anxiety.

Minerva smiled and thought Ame was going to hug her, so she hugged instead. 'Ame you are still my best friend, I hope. I know a lot has changed with all of us, but I hope you still want me."

Justin laughed as she tried giving him a little nickname. " You just stick to the books, Cutie. " Then Amethyst came and sat next to them. " Oh, hey , Ame. How've you been? " Justin said as he smiled. It was good to see her with them again. " Oh where've ya been going? "
Then Minnie handed him another framed picture. " Wow! Min, you've been busy haven't you? " he said as he hugged her.

"We are still besties, Silly." She smiled as she hugged Minerva. "Did you hear that Ron Ron's coming back?"

She waved at him. "I've been.." Hurt, crying, avoiding everyone. "okay. I've been okay. I've been going to the lake, owlery." She had been writing to her father who at this point want to hurt Justin, but would save that anger for Edward. She flashed a sheepish smile.

Minerva smiled "Well any chance to get to the practice rooms."

Harvey entered the Great Hall hoping to find someone.. and he looked at the table to see that she was there. but she was not alone.. he needed her to be alone for this.. oh well never mind.. he would do it another time.. it was not urgent anyways. maybe he would keep it for himself.. he would think about it.. he went over to the trio sitting at the table.. "Hey .. everyone" he said as he looked at everyone.. good to see everyone was ok with each other... that was a good sign that the group was sticking together..

"I got an Owl from Ronnie saying she will be back next term. That is wonderful. OH Hey Harvs. Hey Harvs I have something for you." she reached in her bag. "The other two got theirs already. Hope you like it." She handed over the frame.

" Ame, I know...." 'that I hurt you and broke your heart...' thought Justin. " I didn't mean to be like that to you. " Justin said as he looked at her with a look that said he was sorry. " As a matter of fact Ronnie and I have been writing back and forth. Should be fun to have her back with the group. "
" Oh , so that's where you spend all your time...? " he joked.
" Harvey! Good to see ya , Mate. Where you been hiding? " Justin said with a smile.

Harvey smiled as Minnie said hello to him before handing him a frame.. he looked at it and then her.. and back at the frame.. titled The Four Amigos.. well werent they a swell group all.. happy.. he then looked at everyone there.. the four of them.. they were happy werent they.. well he hoped they were "Thanks Mins... its a fantastic picture." he said to her smiling before Justin piped up "Hey Justin.. er... nowhere.. I have been around.. I guess we keep missing each other.. thats all" he smiled again.. as he looked at Ame and smiled at her too.. he hoped she was ok..

Minerva smiled.. "Oh you should know where to find me. I'm either in the potions lab, library, or a practice room." she giggled knowing they already knew this information. Then she turned to Glenn who was being very quiet. "Glenn do you know Harvey and Ame they are both second years as well."

" Well , I have missed going fishing and hanging out, Harv. " said Justin as he offered everyone a cup of tea. then he poured himself another cup and took a sip.
Justin chuckled...." Min, i was totally joking"

"Sadly it's not a joke" Minerva smiled at them blushing a deep read.

amethyst smiled wide. "We I'm excited for her return! Sounds like a party at my Father's home for her!" She giggled softly thinking of it.
She raised her hand as she shook her head. "It's all in the past. Think nothing of it." she looked down at her plate. She was still getting over him, but it still bothered her. How could he just stop loving her instantly. He was going to have to give a bit of room before she could talk of the situation again.
Ame smiled softly at Harvey who sat next to her. "Hiya, Harvey!" she smiled wide. She made room for him to sit. It had been a while since she last saw him. And frankly, she missed hanging with him. "We should hang more, Mister!"

"No, not really uh- hey." Glenn said turning to the two other second years, "So, what're you guys favourite lessons?" She said suddenly, trying to create conversation, "I think mine is Herbology or Transfiguration. I'll be spending half my life on Homework." She laughed and smiled shyly, busying herself with tucking stray strands of hair back into her pony tail.

Harvey smiled at Ame as she greeted him.. he awkwardly rubbed the back of his neck and scratched his head "Yeah..er.. sorry about that Ame.. we will" he said smiling at her.. well he was glad to have friends like these.. Justin, Ame... and.. Minnie.. yeah she was still his friend and he was hers... but it would take some getting used to that they were not together anymore.. but he still liked her no matter what..



Harvey smiled and gave a nod to Glenn "Hi.. as Minnie said my name is Harvey.. Nice to meet you" he said to her.. she then asked about favourite lessons and beamed when she said Herbology and Transfiguration "Well I like... both Herbology and Transfiguration." he said to Glenn.. well even in his second year he was meeting new people.. but he didnt mind.. it was nice to meet people..

Justin smiled as she blushed. " That's okay...My little Smartie Pants "


Justin nodded his head as she spoke. He really did feel bad and he never just stopped loving her.....And the whole thing with Minnie just sort of happened and was never planned. He wished she could still hear him...So she knew that the problem had to be dealt with the way it was. Maybe one day things would be normal between them again.


Justin smiled at Glenn and said, " Right now my favourite is definately CoMC. That lesson was awesome...." Then he remembered that class upset Minerva so he quickly changed the subject. " But, I'm really getting into Astrology...Thanks to Minerva. She's been helping me with my studies. "


Justin noticed that Harvey was ignoring him...this must really be bothering him. He hung his head upset that his best friend wouldn't speak to him. So, he sat there silently sulking.

Justin decided to get his transfiguration book and studied the lesson they had just done in class. He needed to get out of the Great Hall...He could feel his anger rising again . So, he quickly put his book back into his bag and turned to the group and said, " Sorry , everyone. Please excuse me...I-I need to go...." And with that he hastily got up and left the Hall and haeded towards the grounds.

"I think I like Herbology best because it doesn't really involve too much thinking. You just follow the instructions and you're done, where as, with a lot of other lessons you have to concentrate really hard on what you're doing our it can go really bad." Glenn grimaced at having nearly set fire to the Transfiguration practise room earlier, when she was doing her Transfiguration homework.

"Although, I love what you can make happen in Transfiguration. Do you guys remember the spell that changed your hair colour and style? That was so cool!" Glenn smiled and nodded vigorously. When Justin got up to go, she turned in her seat and gave a wave, "Nice meeting you!" She called.

Amethyst smiled wide when he said they would hang out more. She could see that he was where she was. Everything was such a blur. "Good!" Her smile faded as she looked up at Justin. She smiled slightly at him. "I can still hear your thoughts, you know." She waved as he left. She could feel his angry. "I don't think he meant too, Wellheart." She looked at him pleading.

Justin heard her as he left...He didn't say a thing nor did he show any expression as he left. There was no talking to him now.
