"Minerva looked at Harvey with his pink hair and remembered all the fun they had last term. It felt years ago, but was only one. "Yeah he has always feared me with my wand. He once caught me trying a spell I found in a book in the owlery once. Never did figure it out." she shrugged. "I haven't changed much of anything this term." she needed to change the subject "So Ella what are your plans this summer?"

It felt like yesterday he walked towards the very same doors into the Great Hall shaking like a mad man wondering where the sorting hat would put him. but to his great relieved, he ended up in the same house like his mother.

And now a year later, he finished his first year and top of it Hufflepuff won all of that shinny cups. The House, Quidditch and Gobstone Cup. This year definitely his best year yet.




When he arrived at the Hufflepuff table, some of his housemate already there and one of them is Sophie. Another first year he met back in the first flying lesson. "Hey, Sophie." Messer greeted his fellow first year. "Is this seat taken?" he asked. "How's your first year? Did you enjoy it?" He's pretty sure that the girl enjoyed it as much as he did. "And I heard you're one of the Golden Badgers. Congratulation!" Now Messer regrets turned her help in transfiguration down because his prided get the better of him.



When Messer was waiting for the arriving of Head Boy and Miss Prefect, he saw a very familiar face. His partner in DADA. "Heya, Ella." he gave his fellow Hufflepuff a small wave. "How's your year?" He asked while wondering when they gonna start the feast. He's kinda hungry.



Ah. There he's Mr. Head Boy. Messer was about to stand up and said his good bye, someone was already by his side and that someone was none other than Mr. Head Boy girlfriend, Ellie Messer favorite captain.

When the young badger thought they already finished saying goodbye, Ellie kissed Treyen' cheek. His poor eyes. "Umm..Child present here." *cough* He didn't want to ruin their moment but his poor eyes can't take anymore kissing. "Treyen, I just wanna say good bye and good luck." Whatever was Treyen going to do after Hogwarts.

"Hey, Ellie." Messer greeted the Ravenclaw captain with a wide smile. He just hoped that she's not angry with him because he interfere her time with the Head Boy.



Aaaaaannndd look who came next, its his roommate, Alec and he came alone. Hmm..Where all his fangirls go? Then he noticed that his roommate' eyes went to the Gryffindor table. Messer bet all his buttons that he's looking for Anya. "Hello, Mate!" he greeted him with a wide grin. "Looking for Anya?" More grin.

I to have been spending alot of time on the grounds.. school work.. everyone was busy so didnt hang out with anyone much.. mostly out and about on my own." he smiled as he said this.. he wondered how things were between her and Logan.. but he didnt know whether he should ask or not.. maybe a little later..


Harvey listened as Minnie spoke to Ella. He smiled as he was mentioned in conversation.. yeah she hadnt.. but she had now.. he glanced back up towards his hair.. even if it WAS for demonstration.. it felt good.. but seriously.. pink?!.. wait? what? him fear her?.. no.. no mistake "I have not always feared you with your wand!" he said chuckling as he looked at Ella.. no-one needed to know that!!.. she could have kept it to herself! He thought as she asked Ella about her summer plans.

"It IS, isn't it??" Sophie's eyes sparkled as she bounced on her seat. She couldn't be happier! "Hufflepuff is the beeeest!" She added, throwing her arms up. "I can't wait for next year, to do it all over again!" Hah! They could do it again, she knew it!



Sophie looked up when she heard someone else talking to her. "Hey, Messer!" She smiled at her housemate. "Not really, you can sit here if you want!" She added, gesturing towards the seat next to her. Her smile widened when he asked about her first year at Hogwarts. "It was brilliant! I couldn't have loved it more, really! What about you??"

Now, if Sophie was the shy type, she would have blushed at his next comment, but all she did was smile and look straight at him. "Thank you! We did have some amazing work to do, didn't we?" At least she had enjoyed doing pretty much all of the homework assignments they were given! And she didn't consider herself as a nerd or anything. Heh!





OHLOOK! Sophie saw the Head Boy at the same time Glenn did. "HIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITREYENMISTERHEADBOOOOOOOOO OOOOY!!!" She said excitedly, waving her arm so he could see her. She did miss calling him that. Most of the times around the year she had met him under certain situations where it wasn't the time for nicknames, but now she could call him whatever she wanted again! Finally getting up, she rushed behind Glenn.

Sophie would miss him, but wasn't feeling all sad like the others. It wasn't like he was going to die or anything! They could still meet up in... Diagon Alley, probably! Or around, anyways! No sadness needed! "I don't care if you're leaving, you'll always be Treyen-Mr-Head-Boy to me!" Yep! Time to get used to it if you haven't yet, Treyen!



Sophie glanced back to where she was sitting and saw Carigan there! "HI, CARIGAN!" She said loudly in a way her friend could hear her, waving her arms again.

No, seriously, this has been like the cutest thing that's ever happened to him while at Hogwarts. The cutest. Also, this was his first pinky promise. It was going to be stuck in his mind forever. He didn't mind that, though.

He nodded when she repeated his words. It was a promise now, and while it wasn't an unbreakable vow, he felt confident she'd keep true to her word.

Also, he smiled sweetly as she decided to move on and spend the rest of the feast with her own friends. "It's okay." He hadn't mind her company, actually, and he was spending time with his girlfriend after the feast, so, no problem. The hug was returned as well, "Bye, Ella. Have fun during summer." Because then school was bound to come back and homework and such. He was actually fond of that, but he knew others didn't like that part of Hogwarts.



Wink. Definitely, she needed to pass that along. That'll win him points with Mrs. Stone. Though, he highly doubted that being good at wrapping presents could be considered a very nice compliment.

"Of course." Tomorrow, they still had the train ride. And quite possibly...a little bit more alone time before they parted ways? Hopefully.

Honestly, if those had been smart words, he didn't care. All he cared about was that there was a tiny piece of her mind that he was able to change. Of course, he'd been pretty good at Divination back then. When he attended lessons, that is. It was perfectly clear others shouldn't follow his lead and attend all classes. So, what did he say to that? Nothing, he merely shrugged. Those blue eyes distracted him from thought.

At her touch, he blushed. And all he wanted to do was kiss her again...but...they had company. Plus, they were seeing each other later, anyway, as close to her Common Room entrance so she wouldn't get in trouble. "Good." He could still walk around the Castle a bit after curfew as he pretended to make rounds or something of the like.

But then...she called out to...



...Arya?

A smile went her way, and that was all. Wherever his best friend was...it wasn't at this table.

She'll be seeing Sabel tomorrow, wouldn't she? So, where was the excitement he expected to see from her? Because her boyfriend was picking her up, right? At the train station. Unless she was thinking about her last feast...and...that didn't sound like Arya at all. So, her mind was probably busy thinking of Sabel, minus the exciting part.

Something was up.



And here was the girl Ellie had been rude to.

Did his girlfriend ever apologized? No. And he wasn't bringing it up now either. She'd apologized to Kurumi, and that was enough for him. But nooooo, why were there tears on her face? Granted, only a few, but still. He was the one who ought to be crying, though he clearly was, deep inside. But he was doing a mighty good job at keeping those hidden. Wait until he sees no Rufus in the dormitory tonight.

The hug was...exactly how many more hugs was he going to get? His eyes went to Arya for a moment, hoping none will come from her. She could hug Aaron for the rest of the summer, though.

Back to Glenn. He smiled after hearing his 'nickname'. "Truth be told, I'm going to miss having you girls calling me that." Because the badge was going away. He wasn't going to be Head Boy anymore. Thanks for the reminder. "And you too, of course." The smile only widened a bit more.

Also, "No, I may not be coming back to Hogwarts...but I'm sure we can see each other in Diagon Alley." He'll be going there, for sure, chances were he'll find a few Hogwarts students in there this summer.



HE CHUCKLED. Messer was funny. And totally pointing out the reason why some things are better done privately. Got it, kid. Sometimes you just can't help yourself.

He'll learn that, eventually. Not soon, hopefully.

No words were said, though, but Treyen did eye his girlfriend once more as he smiled before turning back to Messer.

"That's all you wanted to say?" What? No gift? Alec had given him gummy bears, and what was Messer going to him, eh? A lecture on kissing in public? That was no real present. "I wish we could've spent more time together, though," really, he did, because he was bound to have a good laugh thanks to the boy, "Thanks." For the good luck wishes and such. He was a good kid.



Mind you, he was speaking the truth. The way Oakey spoke of the summer, was, well, amusing in a way. The third year couldn't wait for it to get there, just as much as Treyen had been dreading it for months now. Only, as Ellie said, good things came from this ending, and he was going to meet his godson in a few days. That was...both terrifying and great.

"Any ideas as to what may be awaiting you back home?" He had to have some, right?



Considering Glenn was close by, then the other calling must be...yes, exactly, from Sophie. She was the one who started that nickname, by the way. And, of course, he couldn't help but chuckle. Not that he'll be mentioning it, but he's always liked those who weren't afraid to say what they really wanted to say. As long as it didn't bring others harm, that is.

But, clearly, that was something he did. Saying what he thought. Ellie had pretty much encouraged it over the years.

"That's...actually very nice, Sophie." The nicest thing, actually. "I don't mind it anymore." Much, anyway. But his smile clearly stated that he didn't mind it for real. He was going to miss it, hence why Sophie's words had brought a smile to his face. "Ready for summer?" She seemed to be.

And just the person he wanted to see.

"Hi Nessie." Come to say good-bye? That broke him in more pieces than he currently was. But he still smiled. "You mean, 'See you', because we'll be seeing each other again, I'm sure." Perhaps to reprimand her or something, but still 'seeing' her somehow. Though, he wanted to believe she'll behave even more the next school year.

"Actually, Ness...could you promise to be extra good next year?" Amber eyes on the redhead as he scanned her face for the real answer. Because she could say she'd be good now, but he highly doubted she wouldn't snap at the next set of Prefects or Heads, especially if they weren't from Hufflepuff.

Glenn grinned as Angelina came over and said hello to Sophie, "Hey Angelina!" Glenn got up from her seat and gave the Slytherin a hug. "Had a good year?" She hadn't seen Angelina since the start of term when they met in a Muggle Studies lesson.



Glenn wiped away the tears with the back of her hand, and beamed, "Well you better like it because I'm going to address all of my letters with that name." Yes. She was going to write him letters.

At Treyen's next comment, her eyes widened, "You'd come see me in Diagon Alley?" She asked, "That's be awesome." The badger nodded.

Now, what was Treyen going to be doing after Hogwarts anyway? "What have you got planned for after the summer?" She said. It'd be her third year in September. So weird. Glenn still felt like a first year.



Glenn let out a little shriek as someone tackled her, though it turned quite quickly into a shout of laughter when she noticed it was Elise who she had worked with in Herbology once.

"Hi!" Glenn breathed after her fit of laughter, "How'd it feel being smashed by Hufflepuff?" She smirked and laughed again. "I'm joking, I'm joking." A little house pride. Heh.

Elise bounced into the hall, blonde waves bouncing with her. Ravenclaw might not have won this year like they wanted, but it was HUFFLEPUFF! And that was good enough! Remembering her sorting, she giggled a little. Her life might've been so different had she been a Hufflepuff, but she didn't mind!

Maybe she'd pay the Puff table a visit. Just to say congrazzles and that stuff. And maybe she'd find some new friends too! Yay! Spotting Glenn, the second year tackled her friend from the back.

"Hey Glenn!" she beamed, flopping herself into the seat next to her. "Hey, Hufflepuff!" she waved at the rest of the table.

Elise sure took defeat well.

"Yeh. If only I st-" His words start to mumble as if he didn't want to bring it up. "So anyways I'll probably be staying at home. Discovering more of the basement. Hoping nothing will attack me again. Already had that happen to me once. Don't want to go through it again. I'll probably visit diagon alley since I live so close to it. I'll really miss you during the summer. Next year I might be vistiting America to see what it's like. Once that happens we'll be all over America." He then sees alot of other people that he will miss as well. He's the only one that he knows that lives in England. So he really can't go anywhere to visit some of his friends from hogwarts.

"Same here," he said as he returned a lame attempt of a smile at her. Then Zeke's eyes followed what Adeline was referring to. Hmm, they seemed like some pretty loud people to him. Good enough to hit. Half-consciously, his lips formed an evil smile hoping that their plan would work.

"Yeah, they seem hit-worthy," Zeke said as he pushed Adeline closer to them with him following close behind. "Now why don't you do the honors of asking them since you came up with the plan?"

Her eyes were pulled to Ellie when she exclaimed her name so cheerfully, but she wasn't able to return the greeting with the same excitement. Her mind was in fact elsewhere, but she was trying to reign it in for her last feast. "Hey, Ellie. I'm..." She chewed her bottom lip again and glanced up at the yellow banners. "Surprised, I guess." At least she had one more night in the castle.

"You look happy though." It was as easy to pick up as was the excitement at the table about their victories this term. That was easily dismissed though.



It was taking some time, but she was beginning to notice all the students gathered around her best friend as her eyes drifted from Ellie. Hm. Who knew he was so popular amongst the younger badgers? She eyed them all with detached interest, leaning her elbows against the table and placing her chin in her palm. Her chocolate eyes finally did settle on him, and she gave him a finger wiggle.

"... Ready?" For all of this to be over? Her eyes said the rest.

Ella giggled when Minnie said Harvey feared her. She raised her eyebrows playfully at him before turning back to her hufflepuff friend. Summer plans? "Well I plan on eating lots of sweets and spending some time with my family. Then I hope to visit lots of friends over the summer too! And yours?" She asked curiously.



Ella then heard a familiar voice and turned around. Messer! He was her partner in DADA and she had to admit, it was quite fun casting spells at him. She gave her fellow Hufflepuff a smile, returning the wave. "Hey Messer! My year was great! Went by too fast though. And yours?" She was kind of sad she didn't know her fellow first year better. Hopefully next year the class of Hufflepuff second years could hang out more. That might be fun.



"Alone time can be nice." Ella said, smiling. She liked her alone time. It gave her time to think. The first year smirked as Harvey defended himself, claiming he didn't fear Minnie. Something in the way he said it, though, made her think he was lying. She couldn't help but giggle at this.



"I can't wait either!" Ella said, also bouncing excitedly. They were a bouncy pair of hufflepuffs, Ella and Sophie. Ella looked up at Barnabus who was sitting on her shoulder and gave him an apologetic look, hoping he wouldn't get sick. "Congrats on doing so well with points, by the way!"



GAH! He had returned the hug! The head boy had returned her hug! This was big news. Plus, he had said he hoped she had a nice summer too. Man, what a day. Ella smiled widely, a slight blush visible on her cheeks. "You too!" She called over her shoulder. Wait until Logan heard about this one!

And then the first year spotted two people she had yet to see. "Laura, Carigan! What's up?!" She was hoping to see these two but with all the people, she had only now spotted her friends.

Hmmm Minerva didn't want to show how frustrated she was about the two missing badgers, but it really made her uncomfortable that they were missing and possibly together. Was this just a similarity or was this meant to be. "I'm just not sure they are here and I think they are together. Edward said that they might start acting funny around me." She turned to Harvey. "There was a little argument at the service between Edward and Justin's mom." she wasn't sure if she should be telling Harvey this or not, but it didn't change anything.

Minerva smiled "Did you want me to do it right now or wait until we are on the train?" she was really setting a trend here wasn't she. It wasn't her intention, but it was still kind of nice to feel like a leader again even if it was hairstyles. Just then Nate sat down and she smiled and waved at him. "Oh Alyssa no big deal, it's been a long and hard term for everyone of course your tired." It was nice to talk to her puffs on a normal basis, maybe things will cheer up after all.


Minerva gave a uncomfortable smile at this question. "I'm not sure yet to be honest. I am suppose to be going to my grandparents, but my cousin would like me to join him on a work trip and I would like to go with him and learn the family trade since this is the family I have now." she shrugged, "but hopefully I will be having time to be in DA to see all of you." Then Ella laughed at Harvey saying he didn't fear her. "See no one believes you don't fear my wand Harvs." she looked back at Ella "Speaking of boys where is Logan, I was kind of rude the last time I saw him."

She turned to the two "This is a feast to celebrate and if you haven't noticed we won all three things this year, so I think we will celebrate as loud as we would like. If you have a headache why don't you walk your little legs back to the dorm and rest before the train." she turned back to her friends. She was actually feeling better and now someone wanted to ruin it not on her watch.

"I swear some people are just asking for problems." or maybe they were just having fun and Minerva was the one looking for trouble. She shrugged her shoulders. "So Alyssa what were you laughing about?"
