Laura looked at the Gryffindor and Ravenclaw students. "I don't mean to interupt anything but you should go and find somewhere private if you want to kiss, we are celebrating her." Laura smiled before saying. "BECAUSE WE ARE THE CHAPIONS OF THE WORLD." Okay so it was only Hogwarts but next time it would be the world.

No, he wasn't late. What a preposterous thing to assume! The Captain was arriving precisely when he meant to... Halfway through... After the food was partially eaten...

He scooted in on the end of the bench, not even noticing who he was next to. He grabbed a bit of turkey, knowing that it could disappear at any moment. And I don't want to eat just pudding for dinner. Can you say sugar high? Much like Oakey had had in the common room during their victory party. Keefer shuddered. Yeah, definitely need some sustenance other than sweets.

Only after he had managed to gulp down some food did he begin to seek out some familiar faces. He quickly spotted several of his teammates.

Maxwell smiled. "It is." He ignored the Hufflepuff who obviously couldn't tell they were sitting with Damon... another Hufflepuff.

Tay glanced at the annoying hufflepuff, "Excuse me but we are hanging with my cousin." She gestured to Damob, a hufflepuff. "Though i dont know why it would concern you." She rolled her eyes at the girl and went back to talking to Maxwell, "I cant wait to get out of here." A smile played on her lips.

Laura looked at the girl and rolled her eyes. "So kissing another student is talking to your cousin?" Okay so this girl was either stupid or was in the wrong house, surely Slytherin would be good for her, she'd do well with Professor Dragon.

Minerva couldn't help but giggle a bit at Laura, you have to know her to love her Minerva decided. She thought about how much the first year worried her with points at the beginning of the year. "Hey Laura their my friends their fine. What's your plans this summer?"


Minerva got up and hugged Keefer, just a friendly hug of course. "I didn't think you were coming buddy." She hoped he would recognize her with her new look. "You should be here celebrating your a big reason we have these colors up tonight."

The first person who spotted him was Minerva. The next thing he knew he was being pulled into a congratulatory hug. "Yeah, I'm just a super slow packer. Mostly because everything I own ends up strewed across the entire dorm room and common room." Organization of possessions was not his strong suit. "Haha yeah, don't worry. I wouldn't miss this for the world!"

Ella had been looking up at the staff table, wondering is she should go talk to Hadley when she heard Laura's voice. She smiled, turning towards her friend but then...oh no. Ella knew both Laura and Taylor and didn't like that they were arguing. Well they weren't really arguing but they weren't exactly getting along either. This was a celebration! Everyone should be having fun.

The first year took a breath and began to talk, hoping to smooth things over. "Laura, Taylor, hey! How about we just forget whatever was said a few minutes ago and enjoy the feast. We just had an awesome term so everyone should be happy, not fighting." Yup, how about we just move on and start fresh!

She then smiled at Minnie as the older girl assured Laura that the others were friends of hers. Good. She didn't want there to be drama either.

"I dont see where what we do concerns you." Tay glared at the girl and sighed. She thought Hufflepuffs were suppose to be nice but then again that was a sterotype. Why must her cousin be so quiet? Taylor glanced at Damon, "I dont know if i like the huge crowd at my table or the people at your table better." She was being sarcastic. Taylor sent a look to Maxwell and sighed. Tay glanced up at Ella and smiled, "Hey Ella. How are you? Been practicing your guitar lately?"

Oakey glanced at the two students who seemed to be lovey-dovey at the wrong table. It's fine that they're here with you Minerva, but could they at least acknowledge everyone's existence, and snog each other some other time. He looked down at his plate of food. I'm trying to eat.


Then the Quidditch Captain finally appeared.

Keefer! Oakey blurted out, excited to tell the captain some exciting news. Keefer, you'll never believe what exciting news I have for you!

Damon smiled, "Thanks for the offer." He looked back to Taylor, "I'm just not use to... This." He hinted to everyone else, "I prefer my solitude." He laughed.

Tay gave Damon a half smile, "So any plans over the summer? Oh and what was it that you wanted to tell me when Maxwell came up?"

Next up was the one-time substitute Beater. He had really helped Keefer out of a tight spot and Keefer was more than grateful. With that on his mind, he wondered if the news could possibly be related to his 'curse' of being accident-prone. "What's up, Oakey?"

"Mins!.. not here![/b]" he called to her in a low voice as Harvey went a slight pinky color as she mentioned the letter that he had read "I am sorry I did that.... I shouldnt have done it.. ok?.. I am sorry" he said looking around to see if anyone else was listening well lets face not everyone needed to know that he had read her letter.. people would never be able to see him as the sweet and loving guy he has always been.. ok point noted she was still mad at him reading her letter.. AND it was none of his busi-.. wait! it was! cause she was his frien-.. ok ok.. so it was none of business.. fine!. He listened as Minnie spoke to Callidora as she spoke about Logan and Ella.. "Yeah I guess that was a little out of line.. she doesnt know you the way we know you" he smiled as he looked at her....



He then heard her giggle at a fellow puff.. so things WERE getting better.. and he didnt even have to say ANYTHING.. was that the trick.. not say a word and let others surround her and talk to her like they didnt know her story.. well he didnt mind what the trick was as long as she could enjoy this feast.. giggle away with her friends.. yup.. things seem to be going right again. He then saw her hug another puff.. a hug? he hadnt seen her do that yet.. and here she was hugging others.. he smiled at this.. he wasnt upset anymore and all cause of the improvement of Minnie's mood.. he always knew that he wanted to see his friends happy.. so this was nothing new to him.

I'm going on a small holiday with my parents and then I'm going to have a sleep over with a few friends." Laura giggled, "You can come if you want and then I'll just hang out with my old muggle friends I think." Laura smiled. "What about you Min?"

Laura looked at Ella and would normally have listened to her but someone was taking her side and she didn't want to lose the chance to be proved right so she decided to ignore her close friend, though hopefully she wouldn't be mad at her.

Laura smirked at the girl and rolled her eyes. "If you want to snog each other, do it once you are somewhere private, I don't want to throw up the food that I am eating." Laura then continued. "Though why he would kiss you is beyond me."

Laura smiled at Oakey as he spoke. "I agree Oakey, if they want to kiss they should go to the staff table." Laura would love to see what the Professor would say if they did that. "I don't mind them being at the table, it's just I want to eat without people kissing each other."

Damon froze, "I think it would be best to wait now..." He motioned to everyone else again, "To many people around now." He sighed, "I'm sorry... I truely did want to tell you."

Tay sighed. To Damon, "I'm just going to hang with my friends at the Ravenclaw table. Catch ya on the train or something cuz." To Maxwell, "I will see ya around." To Minvera, "Nice meeting you yet again." She got up and walked away back to the Ravenclaw table, annoyed.

Ella returned the smile, happy the Taylor had seemed to dismiss the drama for the moment. "I'm doing really good, thanks. You?" She asked, curious. "Oh yeah, I've been practicing quite a lot. I hope to get even better over the summer. Have you been playing a lot?" They never did get that chance to have a group jam session, maybe over the summer...that would be nice.



As soon as Oakey agreed with Laura, she knew she had lost the battle. Oakey had only added fuel to the fire, though he might not have realized it. The first year groaned, putting her head in her hands, as Laura continued to talk to Tay, quite meanly in fact. No one should be acting like that. Ella was at a loss for what to do so she settled on drumming her hands nervously on the table.

The first year frowned at Laura when Taylor got up to leave. It wasn't nice, what Laura had said. She had been out of line. "Laura...did you have to?"

And now you're making her run again... Just because you won't admit it in front of everyone. Damon looked after her, "Taylor..." He sighed standing, "I think I'm going to go too." He stood and walked out the doors. He needed to think again now; when was he going to tell her?

Lewis just stared at Treyen for a moment, tryintg to process what the Head Boy had just asked him. Or TOLD him actually. The way he'd said it didn't exactly leave a lot of room for protest. Not that he wanted to. Protest, that is. Why would he?

"I...uhm...sounds great!" AMAZING actually. Uhm. Yes. Smiling at Treyen some more he nodded...and then nodded some more. This was going to be great. "What...are we going to do?" Did he have anything planned already?

Or maybe he had more advice for him. Not just about Kurumi. But about school too. Because...he wouldn't be here anymore next term if he had any questions. Though, he could still owl him. But that just wouldn't be the same...

Lewis had averted his gaze from Treyen for a moment to prevent the Head Boy from seeing the sadness in his eyes. It had only hit him now really. And even though he hadn't known the fellow Hufflepuff for that long, he was still going to miss him like hell. He just couldn't help it. Who was he going to go to if he needed help with something?

That's when his eyes fell on Kurumi who was already looking at him. And coming towards him too. What did she want? He straightened up in his seat a little, feeling himself chew on his lip again when he noticed the hint of a blush forming on the Gryffindor's cheeks.

While he felt his heart beat increase when she was suddenly standing right next to him, he tried his best to ignore it as he looked up at her. "Borrow...me...?" Lewis echoed with a quick glance at Treyen...who seemed to be completely engrossed in something else. That meant he wouldn't mind him leaving for just a second, right?

Blushing a little he got up from his seat and moved to stand next to Kurumi. "Sure..." Lewis resisted the urge to chew on his lip for now, watching her expectantly as he waited to see what she wanted from him.

Minerva smiled "Well I'm glad your here now. So any chance you will be the captain again next term? " she had to ask, she wasn't sure she would try out again, but if she did why not see if she would know the captain. "What's your plans for this summer? Maybe we could meet up at sometime?"

"See we can all get along, we always have." she smiled at Ella. She reminded her so much of her during her first term. If only I could find that in me again Min thought.

Minerva smiled at Oakey "Hey Oakey long time no see. Have a good summer if I don't see you in DA or anything. Great job this term in Quidditch wish I would have been around to be able to play."

"Well I haven't been much for social this term so sometime quiet sounds good time me." she smiled at Damon she liked him he seemed like a nice person to be friends with. "I thought you two were.." she stopped and looked at Damon and Taylor "umm I guess I didn't know you two were related." she had heard Tay call him her cousin. So much for the triangle she thought was going on.

"Well maybe you will think twice next time." she looked at Harvey then smiled "Ok I'll drop it just this once." she bumped into his shoulder joking. "If you want to hangout this summer I need to know your not going to go through my purse when I'm not looking." she laughed at her little joke then leaned into him. "You aren't a very good tracker dear if that is what you were trying to do."

Minerva smiled at Laura "That sounds fun. I will hangout with you as long as you don't figure out how to lose points during Holiday or something." she winked at her friend hoping she would know she was just joking. "I'm not sure yet. I don't know if my grandparents or my cousin will be taking the position of guardian now that I'm on my own. So we will see. Owl me when you want to hangout."

Laura looked at Ella with a mischieves look in her eyes. "Sorry Ella." Laura said before giggling, "But I had to, that girl is ugly." Laura thought she was anyway, she didn't know the girls name and had no idea why any boy would kiss her, maybe when she grew up and got some looks then a boy should kiss her but at the minute she had no chance with any good looking boy.

Oakey's grin grew wide as he spoke these words. I can try out next year for the team. Oakey had told Harvey's nephew of the time he subbed for the Hufflepuff Quidditch team, but forgot that Harvey's nephew can't keep secrets. My Foster Dad found out that I played, but he was super excited to here about how we won and that I hadn't fallen from my broom 100 feet in the air. Oakey's luck was finally turning around it seemed. He's letting me play again!


Do you mind If I join you in the victory song? Oakey asked Laura, seeing as now he can eat, he might as well sing too. WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS! He sang rather poorly.


Oakey simply shrugged his shoulders when Ella scolded Laura for what she did. It was really nothing personal. two young students from different houses snogging at another houses table was just odd and unwanted. I'm sure If I was snogging with a Slytherin at the Ravenclaws Table I'd get the same thing.

Why were they saying kissing? Kissing is for grown-up people who actually love each other. How long does a relationship between two young students last anyways, Oakey'll never get it.

Oh I was there. Oakey told Minerva, I'm just naturally invisible during classes.

Was she the player Oakey filled in for that one time? I only played one game He reminded her, but it was a great one. Maybe next year you and I can play together.

Without getting her answer Taylor and Damon were leaving. "Well hopefully I will see you guys on the train or something." She then looked at Max "If you want to stay and hang out your welcome." Minerva looked at him so confused on everything.

"Laura you are my friend, but do you have to be so rude to my other friends? I will not stand for anyone being rude to my friends I don't care if you are celebrating or not." she was a little upset with Laura for calling Taylor names that was not nice at all.

Harvey watched and listened as she spoke to so many people.. wow.. suddenly Minnie was the most popular girl at the puff table.. and this thought made him smile even more.. she deserved it. She then turned to talk to him and then gave him a shoulder bump which made him grin without meaning to.. that was one of those things that you never received regularly so it was nice when it came along.. plus she did say that she would drop it just this once.. wait! just this once? "Wait! Just this once?.. meaning I am still to expect more of those?.. though I would prefer that bump you just gave me" he chuckled.. ok that was bad.. oops. Then suddenly he beamed at her as she said that she would hang out with him IF he didnt go through her purse when she wasnt looking.. Harvey then rolled his eyes and shook his head as he smiled.. yeah she wasnt going let go of it that easily.. he could see it right now.. she had other things up her sleeve.. he was to expect more of those.. "Oh I am sure we will be hanging out" he chuckled .. so there was STILL a chance that they would hang out. It was better than her not knowing what she was going to be doing. He then listened as she said she would hang out with them too over the summer.. he looked at her.. so she would be hanging out with more people too? thats good!.. she was quickly becoming popular.. she was already popular with the Amigos.. but this was outside her small tight nit group.. Harvey smiled even more.. this was almost perfect!
