Minerva looked over her shoulder again to check on the two that had just left the table. She felt like they were up to something she just wasn't sure what. "Well..." she wasn't sure what else to speak about so she decided to just sit and listen. She looked around the room. No Justin still.. This was getting weird. If they were at school they would have to come to the end of term feast. It was just odd. She slumped a little feeling a bit tired and a bit annoyed with the two missing friends. Looking at Harvey she wondered if she could tell him what was on her mind with Edward, but he was Ame's boyfriend so maybe that wouldn't be the best idea.

Ella smiled at Minnie, hoping she would bump into the girl around DA. "It would be nice to see you over the summer. We should meet up and get ice cream!" Yeah, ice cream get togethers sounded awesome! The first year's excitement faded a bit when Minnie mentioned she was rude to Logan. That wasn't like her. "Y-you were? Well I haven't seen him yet but he's around here somewhere. Probably at his house table." Ella wanted to go see him too but was afraid she'd burst into tears or something. She wasn't good at goodbyes, or even see you laters.



"Professor Williamson said I could adopt him! I was beyond excited. It just didn't feel right giving him back." Ella said, smiling at the little puff on her shoulder. "You're very welcome! And thank you! I think we both did great." Yup, they were certainly hard working first years.



"Too many sweets?" Ella asked, eyebrows raised. "No such thing, Harvey!" The first year laughed softly, feeling quite happy to be among so many friends. She glanced over at the Gryffindor table again, wondering if she should go find Logan or not. She still didn't see him though.

Harvey seemed to be in a better mood than she was earlier.. and that letter was still on his mind.. he had not forgotten about it.. he wondered whether he should ask about it but then he didnt want to risk upsetting her again.. she seemed to be enjoying herself and he didnt want to ruin that for her.. he then saw her slump a little and knew that she really wanted to leave.. so maybe she wasnt completely enjoying herself but at least it was a little.. better than what she was feeling before "Well I guess I am keeping this hairstyle.. I mean maybe I could change the color but then I cant say that this hair was the work of a Miss Minerva Wheatborn. You never know maybe I could bring more people to you and you will be changing hairstyles for alot of people.. but then we wouldnt be unique anymore.. mmm.. what to do.." he questioned himself chuckling as he joked around a little.. it felt good to do all this hanging out with Mins.. cracking silly jokes that didnt make sense.. just to lighten the mood a little. He was always trying that even if it never did work .. at least no-one could say that he never tried. He could tell that she had something on her mind.. "You ok Mins? Something on your mind? something you wanna talk about?.. you know I am here if you want to talk" he smiled at her.

Alyssa almost laughed out loud when she overheard both Adeline and the new cute Gryffindor discussing how they were going to be causing chaos at their table. 'They wouldn't dare mess with me. I dare them.'[/QUOTE]

Quieter would have been a better word of use. Adeline walked back over to the girl that had been rude to her. What ever happened to Hufflepuff's being nice to each other like she had been told? "Sorry I got my wording mixed up. Could you please be a little bit quieter. I never meant to say that you had to stop talking all together." she told all of the people.

Then she walked over to where Zeke was. "IT would be even worse if you asked them that. But if YOU want to go ask them then go right ahead because they're in a lovely mood." She smirked.

"Oh Ella that sounds fun. Ice cream sounds great right now. Just owl me."

Minerva pulled her wand and tapped Harvey in the head again. His hair went back to normal. "Now you don't look like a pink freak. Don't want anyone to get the wrong idea or anything." she went back to looking at the table for a second when she heard him ask if something was wrong. "N..no just thinking about Justin and Ame. It's just so weird they aren't here." She turned to Harvey. "Edward isn't as bad as we thought Harvey. He knew who I was the entire time. He had no clue what went on when he wasn't around. He was furious when he found out what happened when he wasn't there. When he knew it was me they were after he joined them to protect me. Leelee was the old woman who let me go. I kind of ruined their plan though. They didn't realize I could hide so well. They thought they would catch up to me and help protect me, but I just have the family smarts as Edward calls it." she looked away not sure if she should go on.

Minerva looked at the girl and reached in her bag. "Here take these it will help your headache. Then if it still isn't helping maybe you should go lay down. I don't think we are being that loud so if you headache is that bad then maybe you should see the healer." she was really beginning to get annoyed by this first year. It was a celebration and she was actually in a good mood. "You are welcome to join in on the celebration if you would like." or just go to the other end of the table if we are being so loud she finished her thought.

Tough little kiddo eh? "Fine, maybe I will." Challenge accepted. Zeke smirked right back at her as he turned his back from her and approached the group. Immediately his eyes lingered on that girl who almost laughed at them a while ago.

"Excuse me, uhm, miss," Zeke said as politely as he could manage. Wait, was miss the right way to address her? Oh well. "Would you give me permission to hit you on your head, please?" Don't worry. I'll go easy on you.

Minnie with a little Adeline.
 

Ella nodded enthusiastically, excited about meeting up with Minerva. "Of course, I'll definitely owl you then." The first year said, smiling at her older friend. Her smile slowly went away as Ella saw Minnie talk with the girl who had a headache. Was she alright? Ella didn't like seeing people in pain. Not that she knew this girl. Why hadn't they met?

Alyssa frowned. 'You're kidding me. He's actually asking permission?' Alyssa almost laughed out loud. "Hi my name's Lyssie. You want permission to hit me on my head? Sure go ahead." 'Guess he doesn't know that I am a Black belt in Martial Arts' Alyssa giggled to herself. He might be in for a shock.

Adeline put her hands on her hips. "Sorry I don't take things like that from strangers." she glared at the girl who was being rude to her not that long ago.



Now she just waited for someone to say something to him. WAIT! She's letting him do that? How dumb can you get, Alyssa?

Logan made his way over to the Hufflepuff table, since he had been feeling kind of lonely with no one his age at the Gryffindor table. He noticed Ella and snuck up behind her, and overheard their conversation. "Ella's right, there is no such thing as too many sweets!" he piped up with a grin.

And just when Anya was about to leave because it was a little awkward to be hovering around the Hufflepuff table...

Laura popped into view.

"It has!" she exclaimed throwing her arms around her fellow first year. Yes, Anya was a very hug person. She loved hugging.

"How was the end of your term?" she asked.

"Why thank you Lyssie. That would be all. Thank you," Zeke polite said again as he walked away towards Adeline. The girl whom he asked would probably be wondering what just happened. Not that Zeke was really planning on hitting a girl. Though he would love to hit someone. Just not a girl. Even if she was strong enough to handle him.

Looking at Adeline, he shrugged and said, "Well, there you go. I asked. But you don't expect me to actually hit her, do you? Sorry, I don't hit girls." He had done the challenge anyway. He asked, and it was up to Adeline if she wanted to hit the girl. "All yours if you want," Zeke finished.

A smile made its way onto Ella's face as soon as she heard his voice. The first year turned in her seat, smiling up at Logan. "Hey! You're here. Want to join us?" Ella slid down as much as she could, making room for Logan to sit if he wanted. "Enjoying the feast?" She asked, giving him a small smile.

Harvey chuckled "No such thing.. huh.. well then I guess I need hop around DA on a sugar high like you will be doing soon enough" he chuckled as he imagined Ella around DA. He then saw her glance over at the gryffindor table.. "Looking for someone Ella?" he asked with a cheeky smile. He then felt a tap on his head as she said that he didnt look like pink freak anymore. He then listened as she spoke to him after he asked if she anything on her mind.. "Yes I do have to admit it is quite weird that they are not here. Well they dont sound so bad.. but.. it just kind of strange that Edward told you that you couldnt trust us.. when I think you know that you can trust us. Well I am glad that he wanted to protect you.. and Leelee let you go.. cause that sounds like family to me now ones that protect you. Yeah I guess you do.. you were smart before.. so I believe him when he says that." he smiled as she said this.. this felt good.. doing what friends do.. hanging out.. it was enjoyable as she was opening up to him bit by bit..

"Oh no. You asked me. You're going to have to be the one who does it. Don't worry Adeline, he won't hurt me."Alyssa told Adeline. "I bet you won't even be able to get near enough to hit me," Alyssa told the young Lion.

"I am ready for the summer, yes!" How could she not be?? IT WAS SUMMER! Oh... he had work to do?? Make sure the pets don't get loose? See, that was why Sophie didn't want any pets! "I hope you manage everything well, Nate!" She smiled at him. "I live in Newcastle, in England! What about you?" She had never thought about where all of her friends were!

Sophie watched Carigan speaking with a smile on her face and both eyebrowns raised. "Okay! If mum and dad let me. They probably will!" That sounded like fun!

"Really???" How nice was Professor Williamson! But Sophie was still not sure whether it would be a good idea for her to adopt Lavender. She could still go visit the Pygmy Puff whenever she wished, no? She never thought about that. "We did! And now Hufflepuff's the BIG CHAMPIOOON!!!" She exclaimed throwing her arms up again!

She did not just challenge him. "Oh yeah?" No, Zeke. Don't. You don't hit girls okay? No, no, and no. End of discussion. So stop it with your addiction to accepting every dare and challenge cause it'll get you nowhere. "Sorry, but I don't hit girls."

Though he was considering an exception for this one. But not now, maybe some other time at some other place. It was a feast after all, no reason to attract everyone's attention. They were too busy with their happy last moments with each other and celebrating the end of their being a nth year student.

"Of course I do!" Logan said, bouncing on his feels a bit. He sat down next to her and smiled widely. "Yes, I am. Although I don't think I'm gonna eat." he said, looking up and down the table at all the food. It all looked amazing, but he felt too sad to eat. Though he was trying his best not to show any sign of sadness, and it was actually working pretty swell!

"Did you have a good term?" Logan asked Ella.

Logan noticed Sophie and smiled at her. "Hiya, Sophie! I haven't seen you in a while." he said.

Alyssa, Nate, & Treyen. All same TL, reply to anything Oakey said here.
 

What's so funny HMM? Oakey shot a look to Alyssa rather quickly. He thought for a moment then had an idea. Hey Alyssa wanna make one more bet? He remember clearly what happened at the Start-of-Term Feast, but is luck has changed slightly since then. He hasn't had any bad luck occur since the beginning of April and he was still going strong. I promise it won't involve food, kay.


Well lookie who it is. His favorite buddy, Nate. Hey Nate He said as the younger boy sat down beside him. Yeah. I'm ready for summer. He was super excited to go home and start it already. My family is taking a vacation to America to visit some old friends that my Foster Father played with back when he was on the Fitchburg Finches.



That wasn't what the big surprise was though. Otherwise it wouldn't be a surprise. Oakey thought hard after Treyen asked him what it could be. I dunno. A dog maybe? or Tickets to a Chudley Cannons game. Maybe my own rune making kit. Oakey had expressed his interest of Runes to Harvey through letter. Maybe that's what it'll be.


Do you have anything big waiting for you when you go home? Oakey Asked Treyen.

He looked up at the staff table and watched as Vindictus limped to his seat. He's doing it all wrong. Thought Oakey Harvey has a worse limp than that, and his cane is WAY cooler.

Ella rolled her eyes at Harvey when he asked if she was looking for someone but her smile gave her away. The person she had been looking for was now at the table so they need not discuss it. Nope. The first year instead turned her attention to Sophie who continued to celebrate. She laughed as her friend raised her arms in the air in triumph. Sophie had every reason to celebrate as did all of Hufflepuff.

Her attention returned to Logan as he accepted her invitation to sit. She studied his face curiously when he said he wasn't going to eat. No food? But this was a feast! She frowned. "Not even sweets?" If he said no to those Ella would really be worried. When he changed the subject, Ella gave him a small smile. "Of course I did! Everyone and everything has been so wonderful." Oh no. The sad feeling was creeping up. "I j-just can't believe it's over." The first year looked at her lap for a minute, trying to compose herself. Looking up again, she looked at Logan. "And you? Did you have fun this term?"

Logan cracked a smile when she said 'sweets'. "I don't know. Maybe a few." he said shrugging. "That's good to hear!" Logan said. He nodded. "Yeah, same here. It's sad to think about leaving this place." he said sighing and looking around the Great Hall. Very nice memories here at Hogwarts. Logan looked back at Ella once she asked if he had fun. "Oh yes! I made amazing friends...got an amazing girlfriend...awesome professors...the classes were great...good memories...although, the giant spider was a big no." he said laughing.

Minerva looked at Harvey and shrugged "He is just protecting me. He has a history with Ame's sister. It's not Ame he is worried about. It's the rest of them. He's afraid she is up to something and training her sister to be like them with those swords of hers. He makes sense if you think about it. Her crazy emotions, her always wanting to be alone and train. I don't know Harvey it's just a little interesting when you put it all together."

Sophie had her arms up when Logan spoke to her. "Oh, hi Logan!" She said lowering her arms. "True! How have you been??"

Then she overheard Oakey challenging Alyssa. She remembered how much she had laughed at him at the Start of Term Feast and smiled. As soon as she smiled at the older badgers, she remembered Oakey trying to oversmile her, also on her first day at Hogwarts. She didn't even bother trying to suppress the loud laughter.

Good. He was smiling. Plus he said he might have some sweets! That was something. "Phew! You had me worried. Plus, Gummy Girl can't eat sweets without Candyman. It's just law." A law Ella had just made up...but law none the less. She nodded sadly when he said he was feeling sad as well. Ella hoped she could help make summer fun for Logan so he wouldn't be as sad. Her smile reappeared when he mentioned his own term. Gah, the G-word. She blushed as soon as her said it. And those stupid butterflies were back. She hated those pesky things. The mention of the spider caused her to laugh, forgetting her red cheeks. "The spider! I forgot. Thank Merlin you didn't get eaten!" Cause that would have been bad!

Harvey smiled and listened as Minnie spoke "Yeah when you put it like that it does seem interesting.. but I dont think she would totally be like them.. all that training could be a way to release any stress that she might be going through at the time or something .. I mean apart from all that.. she is a pretty sweet girl.. well thats what I have seen of her in the short time that we had been together before her disappearance.. you are sweet as well. Well if we do see her.. we could ask her." he said as he hoped that none of this was true.. cause if it was.. it could possibly be the end of the Amigos.. and he was not comfortable with that thought.. he had always looked forward to being with all 3 of them. Well only time would tell.
