Logan noticed Alex walk into the courtyard. He smiled and waved at her, and then turned to Ella.

Logan chuckled. "Why of course I am." he joked, waving a hand and grinning. Logan nodded. "Yeah. Is it just me, or is it really fun to say? Barnabus, Barnabus, Barnabus!" he said laughing. Logan then shook his head. "Aww shucks. The coolest guy ever?" he said. "Naw.." he said as he pet Barnabus with a grin.

Logan nodded. "Yeah. That's Alex! My buddy." he said chuckling. He then nodded. "Sure." he said, turning to Alex's direction. "OI! Alex! Come sit over here!" he called, motioning her over.

"It is really fun to say!" Ella agreed, giggling. "Barnabus-Barnabus-Barnabus..." Ella looked down at the little creature who responded with a SQUEAKKKK. She continued to laugh as Logan quite modestly denied being the coolest. She smiled at him, amused.

Ella smiled over at the unfamiliar girl, happy to meet a new friend. She didn't know too many other students from different houses and it was always fun to make new friends.

John chuckled and playfully nudge her on the head.

"I may be obnoxious, but you know you love me" he teased as he winked at her.

"I've been on medications because i had surgery, 'cause my appendix burst." John said as he nodded his head.

"Haha, yes mostly because of that." John couldn't help but to blush. He had really missed his friend.

"...It's really good seeing you again, Fee" John said in his deep voice, as he looked at her directly in the eyes then smiled.

Logan laughed as Ella repeated Barnabus's name. She was so cute. He then laughed again as Barnubus squeaked.

Fee pouted as Jonathan nudged her."Heeyyy yyouu bully",she laughed and poked him in the stomach.The girl had to admit that they were kinda silly sometimes but what was the world without a bit of fun.

Oh Jonathan you better not be too cocky."Oh well i am not too sure if i love you mister",the Slytherin stuck her tongue out,"you know its hard to handle your obnixousness sometimes."Of course she was just joking,John was a great friend the girl loved being around him.

Hearing about how he's been to the hospital the fifth year gasped a bit.Why hadnt she known about it?"Are you feeling better?",she asked worried,"why didnt you tell me?I am really sorry." The girl was just glad he was back.

Awww oh my god, it took a lot from Fee not to pinch her friends cheeks.How adorable could you get?! Smiling like an idiot the blonde nodded."You deserve to be happy",she said,"hope i get to know this girl someday."Well that would be really nice.

Smiling back at Jonathan Fee felt really happy.He was such a good friend and always lovely to talk to." Its good to see you too",she nodded,"hope you dont disappear too soon."Even though she could understand.

"You know what? I think he likes you!" Ella said, looking from Barny to Logan. "Don't get any ideas though, I'll always be Barny's favorite." She said, giggling. "Do you have any pets Logan? Besides your cat, I mean."

Logan laughed. "Oh really? Well, if I was him you'd be my favorite too." he said with a grin. He then shook his head. "Nope...just Peeta." he said.


Logan looked down at their hands and then at Lilly and quickly took his hand away. Ha. Ha ha. He was an idiot. What was his problem? He sighed. This was kind of awkward. Just sitting here. Without saying anything. What should he say to make the awkwardness go...away?! He sighed and decided to keep his mouth shut, before he did anything else stupid.

John laughed, he must admit Hogwarts wasn't the same without his blonde friend. He may be very outgoing and friendly, but he was picky at choosing his friends. However Feenella was someone who came at the right place, at the right time.

"Oh you know you love me. SShh I won't tell anyone" John teased as he winked at her and chuckled.

John kept his 'Hogwarts Leave' on the down low, he thought it wasn't too important. "I wanted to tell you but, I couldn't find you" he said with a tiny pout. "But don't worry I'm okay now" he added with a big smile.

John chuckled and nodded. "Of course, I'm bringing her to London for the summer. So hopefully you can meet. She's kinda scared of witches and wizards" John said as he couldn't help laughing. John sighed and looked at his friend "I'm always gonna be here for you, Fee" he said as he hugged his dear friend.

Carigan ran out from the castle and into the courtyard, all the while pulling Laura along with her by the hand. Laura wanted a hand-walking race? Well she was sure going to get one! That is, if Carigan could even get onto her hands and walk on them.

Laura smiled at Carigan and gave her a quick hug. "Your going to be one of my friends for life." Laura said truthfully, she was going to make sure that she never forgot that, she was hoping Carigan would want to be her friend for life.

Carigan smiled and did a cart wheel. "But of course Laura! You should come visit me over the summer." Carigan said. She knew her mother and father wouldn't mind meeting her friends. "It might be boring... We live in a small house in the woods... but we're right next to a lake! It's so pretty!" Carigan said as she tried, once again, to pull off a hand stand. This time she was able to stay up so, with legs flailing, she attempted to walk on her hands but after a few steps flopped over in failure.

Ella felt herself blushing at Logan's comment. She looked down at the ground in an attempt to hide it, smiling widely. "Oh yeah?" She asked, picking at the grass. She looked up at him after a few moments, head tilted to the side. "You know, you sure know how to make a girl blush." She smiled shyly at him, indicating her now pink face.

She smiled when he told her he just had Peeta. "Peeta is so cute. Where is he anyway?" Ella asked, curious. Usually Peeta was right at Logan's heels.

Logan laughed at what Ella said. "I guess I do." he said, grinning. "I enjoy doing it." he said. "Well not to other girls but to you. You're real cute when you blush." he said smiling at her.

"He is cute indeed..." Logan said. "But not as cute as me of course." he added in his 'manly' voice with a wink. "Oh...I think he's sleeping in the dorm." Logan said. "He seemed real tired this morning." he said.

Ella laughed when Logan said he enjoyed making girls blush. "Hey..." She was about to harp on him for that comment when he clarified. "Ohhh... Well I-erm, thanks." She said, smiling again. She brushed a strand of hair behind her ears and tried to stop her cheeks from burning.

She couldn't help but kiss Logan's cheek after his next comment. He was cute. "Of course not." She said, giggling. "Aw, the little sleepy head." She said, thinking how cute the cat must look all snuggled up.

Logan laughed. "Hey, you're not the only person who blushes. You make me blush too." he said, lightly punching her shoulder.

Logan blushed as Ella kissed his cheek. "Oh thank you." he said in his manly voice, kissing her back. He then laughed. "Yeah. Little..sleepy head." he said chuckling.

"Oh yeah?" Ella said, smiling as he punched her shoulder.

Then he was actually blushing and Ella giggled, "Guess I do make you blush after all." She nudged his shoulder, smiling. "You're welcome." She said quietly.

Oh? Well, that was a proposition he liked.

Treyen didn't want to admit this, but he was very fond of dueling. It was fun, okay? Especially when you knew your way around it and had successful attempts at knocking down an opponent or something. Arya knew he wasn't going to go easy on her, right? "Sounds like a plan." It was odd, wasn't it? For someone who always took the non-violent way to like this dueling bit of the Wizarding world.

His Co-Prefect must have known he liked to, though, otherwise she wouldn't have proposed it.

Trust him, Arya, he wasn't going to change his mind about trying to get Ellie inside the library. She'll have a major freak out moment too, probably, most likely. Perhaps nothing will happen, but he wasn't taking chances. "I'll keep that in mind." Just in case. The boy also nodded at the other places Arya spoke of. Mmmhmm. Those were good too.

It shouldn't be something to be too concerned about, right? The Professors must be doing some research on their own...and had they found anything, they'll let them know. "Given Hogwart's history...that's very likely...but the Professors will know if we're in any actual danger or not." GRANTED, knowing Hogwart's history...it didn't matter how dangerous the situation was...the students still remained at Hogwarts. "Or...not." That's when the time for panicking could come. But not now.

Again, she wanted to hit Logan, even though he had taken his hand away. Maybe it was because he was reminding her of her mum. He couldn't be that bad, espacially compared Thomas, but sometimes it was just...stupid. Maybe it was Lilly. The reaason why she had no friends, when people like Logan and Rose had million. This was getting awkward. Even more than before. Like he was expecting Lilly to say something. Well, she would, as soon as she thought of something.

Okay, it was very lame, but it was better than nothing at all and even more awkward silence. "I- How's Hogwarts?" That had sounded even more stupid than it had when she said it in her head. Lilly was just a lame person, not even that brave. Nor loyal, ambitious or clever. Just slightly stubborn, but not in a brave way. And very blunt. So really, the blonde wasn't actually fit to be at Hogwarts.

Fee felt really happy to be John's friend.To her he seemed to radiate happiness.Like when he laughed she automatically laughed too."Oh and what makes you so sure?",the girl wiggled her eyebrows giggling,"you cant know.I mean i am a Snake after all."What a guy he was,tsss.Hehe.

Oh yes of course he couldnt have possibly found her.Well. "I am glad you are okay again",the blonde nodded.If there was something she hated then it was seeing her friends in pain.In what way ever."I wasnt even at Hogwarts either",the Slytherin then chuckled,"i've been to France to visit my two sisters at Beauxbatons."Being there she missed a lot here it seemed.

He was bringing her to London this summer?!Now that was great news.Beaming brightly the girl couldnt wait for this summer now."You know i am going to make her lose her fear",she chuckled,"after all i am really nice,dont protest." Fee made Kennedy lose his fear of them so how hard could it be with John's girlfriend?!

Smiling happily,the fifth year hugged her friend back tightly." I am going to be there for you too you know",she nodded,"always.Feel free to come to me with whatever is on your mind."Right now the blonde was just grateful to have found him as her friend.

Cove walked out into the Courtyard. The sun was shining and it was actually a really nice day. She found a spot and laid down in the grass. The sun hit her face and she smiled as it did. She hadn't talked to like, anybody all year. She hoped there was someone around to talk to.

Alex had been watching people pass by when Logan called her over. She got up and headed over to where he was. "Hey." the third year said as she sat down beside him. "I'm Alexandra by the way, but call me Alex." Alex told his friend.

Ella smiled at the older girl who joined them. "Hey Alex, I'm Ella." She said cheerfully, offering her hand to the girl. "So are you in Logan's house then?" She asked.

Laura smiled at Carigan. "I'd love to visit you over the summer and you'll have to come and visit me over the summer." Laura looked around the courtyard to see who was there, there wasn't many people and so Laura quickly started walking on her hands again. "You can do it Carigan." Laura giggled, she was sure that Carigan could do it, it was fun once you got the hang of it.

Mickey felt like crying, her pride of course wouldn't even let her tear up but she felt like she lost so many friends. She blamed everything from her grandmothers prejudice to the fact that she was just American. Going between the UK was infuriating enough but it seemed every time she was actually able to stay for a long period of time she ended up missing her three friends. "Pity, a whole year and made three friends that you don't even see any more." Mickey muttered to herself watching others be carefree with their friends. She almost envied them.

Carigan smiled at Laura "Thanks!" She said. Now... to tackle that pesky business of walking on her hands. How am I supposed to stay up? Carigan thought to herself as she, once again, put her hands to the ground and bucked her legs up. This time she thought that trying to keep her legs as still as possible was key in achieving this. She tried to point her legs straight up to the sky and keep them together and still, she was SO GLAD right now that she was wearing knee length black leggings under her skirt.

Once Carigan had suceeded in keeping her legs up and straight she started moving her hands to walk very VERY slowly. Soon her hands hurt, though, so she lowered her legs resulting in a slightly more graceful landing than her fall earlier.
