"Ohh, that makes sense." He said smiling a little, trying to get her to think happy thoughts, instead of sad ones about Carina. "Are we really that bad?" He asked laughing. "I mean i do want to spend time with her before we go off to different countries." he said with a smile.

Tay laughed, "Thanks, sis." She smiled, "Hey Ashlynn." Taylor smirked at calling him by his girly middle name. To Maxwell, "I don't know but at least she thinks we are cute together." Tay smiled, "Oh but your dad is moving to my country soooooo when you visit him, you will be my neighbor." Taylor grinned.

Ameliah looked up happily at a familiar voice. "Hey Minerva!!! I just got here. Not much, just talking here. she turned to the three others, giving Tay and Maxwell meaningful looks. Don't blow this guys. "This is Tay, Maxwell, and..." she looked at the Andy Sixx-lookalike questioningly.

Minerva looked at the others not sure, but then tried to put on a nice face. "Hello I'm Minerva." the one girl looked familiar, but she couldn't put her finger on it. "Mind if I sit for a bit"

Maxwell sighed in his head not this guy again! why can't i ever just spend a day with her without him? He thought. To Taylor he said "True, But i'm spending the first week with my sisters before they go see their dad." He said finally happy, for once in his life that he had sisters. "Hello." he then said to the new girl but wasn't sure what else to say.

"Hey Minerva." She smiled, "Arent you friends with Trin? Oh and didnt we met somewhere in Hogsmeade?" Tay laughed. To Maxwell, "That is sweet of you to spend time with your sisters." Taylor smiled at him.

Ameliah saw the cautious look. It's okay, they're friends with me, aren't they?" she hoped Tay and Maxwell wouldn't mind the attitude she was showing. "Hell yeah you sit here! Keeping the snake bites I see?"

Minerva gave a slight smile to the boy before turning "Yes we did meet in hogsmeade and yes I was friends with Trin, but I had left school for a bit and haven't seen many of my friends since I have returned and the only friend that seems to be coming around me I just turned his hair into a nice bright pink mohawk." she laughed at the thought of Harvey still sitting with the mohawk at the puff table. She looked around "I hope the speech isn't to long. I thought about sending some dishes at the staff table in hopes to send me to the train early." it was just a thought, Minerva had only lost a few points she had never been in trouble a day in her life, so this new side was still a little scary even for her. "Oh and to answer your question I love the snake bites. People are looking at me with such weird expressions it's fun. Better then looking at me like a breakable doll" she was over people looking at her that way.

Maxwell smiled a little at Taylor. "I miss them and we've just started being close, as soon as i've been at school all year." he said laughing. He didn't mind Ameliah's attitude, she was being someone else. It was like acting.

Ameliah looked up to see Harvey with a mohawk and started cracking up. "Nice one Mins!" she said grinning. She laughed again. "Why do you want to go early? Are we too much for you already?" meaning her friends. Inside, Ameliah felt really good. Maybe she had talked Minnie into being good to Harvey again. She had definently lightened up. Maybe she'll tell Mins on the train who Callidora is.... "See? I told you they would help. It completes the edgy punk look to the max."

Tay nodded, "I thought i remembered your name." She laughed, "Nice....."
Tay smiled at him, "At least you have the summer to get closer to them." She laugghed.

Minerva gave a small smile and played with a napkin. "No you guys are fine. It's that table with my old friends. I'm not the same as I was with them, with Harvey, and I just hate being someone I can't seem to find right now." she leaned a little closer "If you only knew half my story you would look at me like they do. Like Harvs does, but I'm better this way. My cousin is going to take me on his work trip this summer, so I'm excited to get home." she thought about what Eddie said to her before she came back to school. "Oh thanks Tay."

Maxwell felt better about never seeing them. "Yeah, I guess i never knew how important they were to me until i couldn't see them."

"Any time." She laughed.
"Yeah that happens." She nodded.

Well I know a bit of your story.... Ameliah thought. "That must stink. But you know, they'd probably accept you. But I understand what you're going through.... When I was little I spent years trying to find out who I was." She looked at her thoughtfully. "Well, at the very least, tell me your story on the train. I want to know." she said with concern. "Maybe I can help from there."

"But whatever time i can spare i'd like to spend with you." He said sweetly to her.

Minerva gave out a bit of an awkward laugh. "Oh dear my whole story. I was pretty boring up until last summer. That was when my life went completely crazy, but sure I guess I could tell you if your that interested. It's been just pretty crappy this last term." she glanced at Harvey and frowned a bit. "but this summer is going to make the change for the better. I'm even thinking of taking on my cousin Edwards last name since he hopefully will be the person to take me in now."

"Oh gosh does that mean i have to put up with you over the summer sometime?" She wrinkled up her nose, obviously teasing him.

Maxwell laughed. "I don't know you might, I have a crush on this girl who lives in your house, she's really pretty. So you might see me a few times." He said joking as well.

Tay raised an eyebrow and smirlked, "Oh you do, do ya?" She laughed, "Hmmm i have a crush too..... but he doesnt live in Scotland."

Maxwell smirked. "And where does this boy live?" He asked smiling and laughing a little.

Tay thought about it, "Hmmm you know what... i think he lives in London but then again he could actually live in Scotland......" She laughed and smiled.

Maxwell laughed. "Well, which one? And what's he like?" He said smiling.

"Hmmmm he is sweet, and kind.... I see him a lot, I know his father...." Tay stopped there and smirked. What she said could also be taken to her crushing on Damon, but she meant MAxwell.

Maxwell smirked at her. "I bet he's charming and adventurous and inventive like a hero from a fairy tale." He said obviously referring to himself.
