Minerva smiled she really did have the two greatest friends. She got into her back and took out her medicine taking it knowing it was time and without the potion she was going to have to deal with the dizziness. "So.. who was it you saw tied up?" she looked at both of them.

Harvey smiled at Justin as he spoke to Harvey before pulling him into a hug and whispering in his ear.. "Yeah.... good to see you too.. Justin.. its ok.... as i told Mins.... these things happen.... and we have.... no control over it.." he said as he saw Justin speak to Minnie... maybe this was going to be harder than he thought... seeing them together.. well when was it ever going to be easy... its never easy to see the girl you love with your best friend.. but here that very thing had happened to him.. Minnie then asked them both a question after taking her medication.. he looked at Justin.. he would need to sit there so that she could lean on him due to her dizziness when taking her medication.. he was hoping that he avoided that question but apparently not.. "Er.... Harley.. but its no problem.. so what have you two been upto?" apart from being with each other.. he added in his head.

" I-I saw my Gran. I was very close to her...Then we moved to London and I have'nt seen her in a year. I really worry about her..." Justin said as he took a stone and tossed it into the pond.
" Min has been helping me with astrology....Among my other studies. You? " Justin asnwered. Then he sat down next to Minnie and Harvey and fiddled with his fingernails. This was definately a different dynamic.

Minerva smiled "Well if you two would listen and participate more in class you wouldn't need the help." she eyed them both and laughed a bit. She was feeling calmer. "So what did you think of the muggle studies lesson? I thought it was fun to dress up." trying to forget the lake all together she wanted to move the conversation.

"I would." he said softly to her. And he would too. "Me mum and dad haf each other te celebrate with. "I would haf ye." That appealed to him, an almost empty school all to themselves! Lot's of mischief to get into then, as well as the place nearly to themselves. "Who knows, with all the excitement of the anniversary of Hogwarts, there very well might be something happening fer the holidays!"

"Yes, might be a good time te go there. Nice and quiet, and if ye don' mind the dark, it's the perfect time me thinks." He didn't mind the dark much, both in Egypt and in Arizona when it was dark it was really dark, and it got dark very quickly there as well. He also knew though that claustrophia can be worse at night "Ye, don' really haf te go though, especially if I go at night."

Nodding he could understand that "I wouldn' want a bruise either, but bruise cream works te, if it does bruise.

Nate hugged Jez back, holding on tightly. "It's okay. It's brought me down to earth, actually. I was too worried about protecting you and Pam that I never worried about myself. Now I have three people to worry about," he said hoarsely, his eyes snapped shut. There was nothing right now. No Jordan, no ducks, no pond, and no pictures. Just Jez.

"Yeah I am...you're...Ryan, right?" Logan asked, sitting down next to him. Then he nodded. "Yeah, I do! I really love it." he said.

" Well, you guys know me. I love a good dinner party. And the suit I wore was my favourite. And you looked especially beautiful , Minnie. " Justin said as he put an arm around her. " So did you Harvs. "

Gaze still lowered to the ground he saw in the corner of his eyes how the duck he tried to catch now flew in to the pond and the Slytherin puffed his cheeks a little bit in annoyance that his plan had failed and that he was most likely not getting the animal.

"But..but i'm not lying." he said as Kurumi spoke again after Thea and he looked from the ground to the Prefect as she seemed to study him. This caused his cheeks to fire up and he nervously bit his lip under the gaze. And it didn't help either that she continued to speak and seemed to know his source of problem. "Yes, okay... i miss Mr.Duckles" Daichi more or less snapped. He was a thirteen year old now and still missed his plushed duck. That was so uncool in his book but he couldn't help it.

He listened to the conversation between Kurumi and Thea and his mouth literally dropped when the older one suggested if they had asked the caretaker. "Eh...i...no.." To be honest, he had not thought to ask for one second! He had been so in his plan that he forgot to do the simplest thing and that was to simply ask.

"But...he would laugh!" the Slytherin voiced as he used his left hand to touch his small earring.

Harvey listened to Justin speak about the lake and what he had been upto.. "Oh nothing much. homework and classes.. well thats good that Mins is helping you." he said to Justin.. then Minnie spoke to them.. and Harvey smiled a little at her comment.. Muggle studies? Justin spoke up and put his arm around Minnie.. that was what Harvey used to do.. "Thanks Justin.. yeah I have to agree.. you looked beautiful Mins.. you did.." he said to her smiling as he remembered what she looked like.. "Yeah it was good to dress up.." he said as he remembered the party at Justin's house she looked good there too. Well things had changed alot since then he thought as he sat there..

Jez closed her eyes, forgetting about everything else around them for a moment. Tears collected behind her eyelashes, threatening to spill over, and she pressed her face into Nate's shoulder to hide it. "We do need help," she whispered. "Where will we go in the summer? How are we going to protect ourselves?" She didn't expect Nate to know the answer to those questions, but she had to voice them or she'd go crazy. And since she was letting it all out ... "I got a letter," she mumbled, pulling away from the hug and fumbling in her pocket. "A few days ago." She unfolded the paper, which looked worn like it had been read many times before, and showed it to Nate and Jordan.

Jez bit her lip, looking down. "I tried to tell him you guys don't know anything," she said quietly. "He doesn't believe me." Jared didn't believe the lie, because she had told her friends everything. Stupid girl. She shouldn't have dragged everyone into it. She told herself that every day, every time she thought about it, but she still couldn't change it. And now Jordan was involved ... "I don't know what to do," she admitted, finally answering Jordan's question. She ran her hands through her long hair, which was starting to tangle again without Sam's constant badgering to look after it. "I don't know, I don't know, I don't know!" And it was not knowing that was killing her inside.

Minerva smiled at her two favorite boys. "Well you two looked so handsome, but all the girls were watching you." She leaned her head on Justin's shoulder "Stupid medicine."

"I think that would be a great idea, but I think Daichi should be the one to ask. Of course, I don't see why you can't go with him," she replied, nodding to Tayla. Obviously she seemed to want to help him get a duck. And good. Honesty was good and made this whole situation a whole lot easier.

"He has a hut here on the Hogwarts grounds. I can take you both there if you want." And she could even wait with them during the conversation as well, but she was sure that these two could handle it. She would only be there for moral support anyway.
Kurumi was a bit taken aback by Daichi's tone, but he was entitled to it. At least, she felt he was. She was missing his stuffed duck as well. For some reason, seeing Daichi without it just didn't seem like Daichi.

Now Kurumi couldn't help but giggle. "Daichi, why do you think the groundskeeper would laugh at you for wanting to have a pet duck?" Kurumi was pretty sure that the goundskeeper would be pleased to have someone who shared his love of fowl. He had certainly seemed the cheerful sort in the topiary garden when one of her ickle lions had decided to take it upon herself to climb up on the giraffe one. "I think you should go ask. Probably should apologize first since I believe the ducks are all a bit stressed out right now, but you should ask him. I bet he will let you help out."

As to what to do about his stuffed duck, should he want that back, well, that seemed to be a conversation that he was going to have to take up with whoever told him he couldn't bring it.

" Harv, I iknow you are upset with me....It wasn't planned...Minnie and I. I would never steal your girl first off. We were both just comforting each other and ...Well.....It just sort of happened. But I'd never take her away from you ...either of you. I know she loves you still, Mate. " Justin said as he could tell his best friend was upset.
" Thanks, Min. There were no girls watching me... They were watching, Harv! " he joked with a little chuckle. then she rested her head on his shoulder. He felt guilty that Harvey was right there and Justin knew if he weren't there that it'd be Harvey's shoulder she be resting on.

Harvey smiled as she said that all the girls were watching them.. maybe he didnt notice any girls looking at him.. then Justin spoke to him "Justin .. dont worry about it .. as i said things happen that we have no control over.. and this was one of those things that we have no control over.... so its ok.. dont worry... as long as Mins and you are happy .. then i am good.. " he said smiling a bit.. to show he was ok.. as Justin joked .. as he saw Minnie rest her head on Justin's shoulder... well.. that head had found another shoulder.. oh well... that was life.. history repeating itself again for him.. wow... same way as last year.. too... except he would not date anyone.. he would now concentrate on school work than girls..

"Well, I just didn't want you thinking I was doing anything slight handed. You're my best friend, Harvs." Justin said as he took his free arm and patted him on the shoulder. " guess we never know what can happen, but we'll always be there to look out for one another. "

Minerva hadn't been talking she had her eyes shut. She was feeling horrible all of the sudden. She felt if she opened her eyes she might faint. She kept her breathing as even as possible so she wouldn't alarm the other two. She moved her hand and found Harvey's grabbing it into hers. "My two boys" she said in a faint voice.

Harvey listened to Justin as he patted him on the shoulder.. he then looked at Justin "Yes... we ... we will" he said smiing a little.. he was thinking about everything.. that had happened recently.. he was happy that Justin and Minnie had found each other... but at the same time he was gutted that she was not with him.. man.. that was a dilemma.. he wanted her to be happy and if that was with Justin then so be it.. but then he still loved her.. oh well a dilemma is a dilem.... just then he felt a hand hold onto his.. he looked at the hand and then looked at Minnie and then Justin.. he couldnt believe it! Minnie was holding his hand! HIS! He was shocked he didnt know what to make of this.. his heart started beating fast and then he remembered the changes that had happened.. Minnie was with Justin now.. not Harvey.. he was about to remove her hand thinking that it was a mistake on her part when he heard her faintly say 'My two boys' .. upon hearing that.. he didnt have the heart to remove her hand.... maybe she was holding on for support... so he let her hold his hand as the 3 of them sat there..

Justin could feel minerva's stress build and the saw that her hand had grasped Harvey's. He paid no mind. He knew that she needed them both and he was not about to stop that. Her love for him was still strong and they were all friends.


Justin looked over at Harvey and gave him a nod. To let him know he understood that they're bond as a group depended on the the both of them ...Himself and Harvey to be there for Minerva. For her to get better she needed them both there with her to be supportive.

Minerva felt the two of them near her. She felt the tension and the stress, but ignored it. She was trying to figure out why she was feeling sick all of the sudden. The medicine always made her dizzy,but sick.. She still had her eyes close and the weight of her head laid further on Justin's shoulder. She felt warm and the room was spinning. Her grip on Harvey's hand grew tighter. "I love both of you." she said in the weakest voice she had ever heard come out of her mouth.

She had walked down to the duck pond and saw the three of them and giggled,"You three have heart issues." She smirked not knowing if they had even noticed that she heard the last bit that Minerva had said.

Justin knew something was very wrong with Minnie as she barely was audible. He grew very concerned and looked in her bag to make sure that the medicine she had taken was the correct one. Yup. He turned to Harvey and said, " Harvey I think she needs to go to the hospital wing. I'll carry her . Can you grab our bags and follow. She needs us both. " And with that he stood up with her in his arms and the three of them went towards the castle.
" Hey, Butterfly. No, we just want to be thee for Minerva. She's going through a rought time. We'll catch up with you later . Okay? " Justin said as he smiled at her.

" Hey, Butterfly. No, we just want to be thee for Minerva. She's going through a rought time. We'll catch up with you later . Okay? " Justin said as he smiled at her.

"Okay, ciao." She walked away to a different part of the duck pond.

Minerva felt herself being picked up she tried to open her eyes, but it was just to hard they were to heavy. "Justin I'll be fine. I don't want to go..."she heard someone else there with them. Was it Ame? No Butterfly, no she didn't want someone else to her sick as well.

Harvey saw that Justin gave him a nod and he knew that Justin was ok with him being there with Minnie.. he that they were both her support system to get her through this. Just then he felt her hand grip his tighter... as if she were falling and needed to grab onto him.. she then said something that he could barely hear.. when Butterfly came over and said something about them having heart issues and he was about to reply when Justin said that they needed to go the hospital wing with her.. Harvey was now very concerned.. had it become that serious!? he wasnt waiting to find out.. he did as he was told he grabbed the bags.. and he smiled at Butterfly "Yeah we are helping her through this time.. but as Justin said we will see you later.." he said to her smiling.. as he followed with the bags.. hoping that there was nothing seriously wrong with Minnie... he hoped that she would be better in no time. Harvey then heard her say something that he couldnt make out.. he now more than anything hoped that she would be ok..
