Logan nodded. "Yeah. Everything's fine." he said, looking at Ella, his dark brown eyes looking into hers.

Ella nodded. "Good...cause you know you can talk to me if it isn't." She gave him a small smile. She wasn't sure what was going on with him but she had a feeling something was troubling him. Not wanting to push the issue, she decided to let it go. She was taken aback by the way her was staring at her now. It was like he was the first person at Hogwarts to see her, I mean really see her. Ella definitely hadn't expected to meet a boy at 11 who could do that. She locked her eyes with his, not wanting to look away but she felt the familiar burning sensation was rising in her cheeks again. She looked down for a moment then rested her head on his chest, listening to his heart.

Out of all the things to be scared of... "Well... they don't have claws or teeth or anything, I don't think they can hurt you..." she said, unable to hold in her giggles. Then again, butterflies and moths didn't have claws or teeth and they were EVIL!

"They wont, I've run out of breadcrumbs." she said, showing Kenny the empty bag. She grinned as he sat down next to her, mmmmmm kisses were cuuuute, and lovely. She leaned into him, stealing his warmth. Oh yes, boys were useful for many things - warmth on a cold day was definitely one of them.

"How's the prefect thing going?" she asked, yawning slightly and watching a few ducks brave the water on the opposite end of the pond.

Okay, when she put it like that it made ducks seem like the most innocent creatures on Earth... kind of. "But they snap their beaks...real hard," he said. Yeah, he's been at the bad end of that.

He briefly forgot about the ducks and enjoyed his time with Aurora. Between studying and doing rounds in the halls he's had most of his free time filled up, but he still managed to make some Aurora and him time.

He shrugged. "It's alright, I guess," he said. "There's a lot more responsibilities to it then I thought." Yeah, at first he thought it was about flashing a nice badge and that was it. He was very wrong about that.

Nate shot up to his feet at the sound of Jordan's voice. Not only had he forgotten that the Gryffindor was there, but his voice sounded urgent, worried. "What's wrong?" It wasn't worth asking. He saw the note. "Right..." he muttered. In all honesty, Nate really couldn't say that they didn't warn Jordan, but that would probably not have been a good idea.

"You're officially with us now," he said flatly. Technically, even though Nate, Jez, and Pam were extremely awesome, one didn't really want to be part of their group. Usually someone in their family had to die as initiation...

Aurora raised an eyebrow slightly, but she dropped the subject. Everyone was entitled to their silly phobias. Like Moths. Though that wasn't silly... they were evil.

"I can imagine." she said, flopping back on the grass. "D'you enjoy it though?" Probably... who wouldn't? She reached up and played with his curls. "You need a haircut." she said. Though she actually preferred it longer - it was bouncier this way

He nodded and flopped down next to her placing his arms under his head. "I...do, actually. It makes me feel needed," he confessed, slightly blushing. He wasn't a needy person, but growing up with people that made him feel less than anyone else, this made him feel like if there was a purpose for him to be around.

Kennedy ran his hand through his head, but had to admit that he liked it better when Aurora played with his hair. He closed his eyes and smiled. "M'hm, I've been thinking to opt a bald look," he said, resisting his laughter. It was a joke, really. He would never cut his hair THAT short.

Needed... "Well... you are needed..." she said quietly, shifting closer. It was true; he'd been a phenomenally good influence on her so far and she couldn't imagine not knowing him. Weird really - she'd never expected to feel like that about her first boyfriend. She'd actually never expected to feel like that about anyone ever. But she was fourteen and naïve; she still had a long way to grow.

"NO! Don't do that! I was only joking; I like it long!" Mhmm, it was all bouncy and soft and lovely. She took hold of one of his curls and stretched it out, letting it ping back. "See, it's better this way." And much more fun!

Jordan felt the blood thndering in his skull. How could he let this happen? "I didn't take the damn letter seriously!" he yelled, "Stupid Jordan!" he slapped his face, hard, a sharp Crack! echoed around the pond. It kind of made him feel better, "It remiss me of home," he explained himself with a shrug. He didn't take it seriously! How could he let this happen? And on top of it, he was actually slightly sad!

"Yay! I'm part of the group!" Jordan muttered with a hint of sarcasm, "After all they've done to me and I'm sad?!?!" he said, restraining himself from slapping himself. "Sorry, about ruining the moment..." he chuckled, looking at the pair with red eyes... And hair.

He grinned looking up at the sky. It truly did feel nice to hear that, but he didn't want to come off as a conceited person. Kennedy turned to her and kissed her cheek. "Thank you," he said, smiling. He laid his head back down, but kept his eyes on her. Enough about him, he wanted to know what she had been up to as well. "How's Music Theory going by the way?"

Kennedy couldn't contain his laughter anymore and let it out. "You do, do you?" he smirked, mischievously. After she let go of his hair, Kennedy leaned down and tried to tickle her with his curls.

Nate ducked his head, slightly embarrassed. For what, he didn't know. "Of course you're sad. Even if you didn't particularly like them, the fact that another human being is dead is sad enough. Being related to them doesn't help you: you automatically feel it in your heart," he muttered flatly. Too many people were getting dragged into this. Granted, there were but four, but it was still too many for Nate. In fact, Jez's family was too much for Nate. Throw in his own, and now Jordan's, and Team Wolf had swiftly ascended his 'Brutally Maul' list. That particular list was new...

Jez had fallen asleep after all, exhausted from her recent nights of staying awake just so she could escape the nightmares. For once she didn't dream at all, and only woke up when Jordan started shouting. She sat up, rubbing her eyes with the back of one hand, listening with wide eyes, trying to follow in her half-asleep state. She finally grasped the generalised point of the conversation - plus she saw the note in Jordan's hand. "No," she whispered, pushing her hair away from her face with both hands. "No, no, no ... they killed him, didn't they?" It was more a statement than question. And another one bites the dust ... how many more people were going to get killed by Team Wolf? Maybe they'd just keep wearing them down, until there was only the four kids left, then they'd be picked off one by one. Jez would hate to be the last one standing.

Nate only nodded to Jez, rotating the note around for her to see. The succinct message was truly devastating, but it didn't quite make sense to Nate. Was Team Wolf now killing people just to kill people? Their original mission was to kill Keegan Black, and that didn't exactly happen. So, it turned into the Black family as a whole. Yeah, still not working out for them, considering they left 33% alive. But what were they doing now? Killing Nate's parents and burning down Pam's house made sense, but targeting Jordan? How many people were going to die just because they walked within ten feet of Nate, Pam, or Jez? "Jared seems to be getting a little trigger-happy..." Nate finally said out loud.

Aurora smiled. Yep, she still smiled every time he kissed her. Hehehe. "No problem." she said, rolling onto her side slightly so that she could see him.

Oooh... that. Right... "Um... well... alright I guess. So much reading though." She shrugged slightly. She was always uncomfortable with reading large amount of stuff... "I always loved music because there was no reading. But all the music exams have loads of reading and writing and stuff..." Urgh. She couldn't remember if Kennedy knew about her dyslexia though... probably not. She rarely spoke about it.

"I do-EE!" She squealed as Kennedy's curls tickled her cheeks. She batted him away, "Hahaha stop it that tickles!" she giggled. Yes. She was very ticklish...

Logan smiled. "Thanks." he said, still gazing at her. He blinked and shook his head. "Er...s-sorry.." he mumbled, watching as she rested her head on his chest where his heart was thumping loudly against his chest. He gulped and his cheeks grew dark red. Why was he randomly so....nervous?!

He had said sorry but Ella wasn't sure why he was apologizing. She looked up at him curiously. "Why are you sorry?" She asked, puzzled. His heart was beating rather fast and she felt hers doing the same. Once again Ella wondered how she went from thinking boys had cooties to falling into a puddle of mush around the one she liked. It was weird, definitely weird. She bit her lip, feeling nervous but not knowing exactly why.

"B-b-b-because I er...well I was kinda uh...staring...at you?" he said, feeling his cheeks grow hot. What was all this about? The butterflies in the stomach...the flipping of the stomach...the heart beating fast thing....the feeling hot...the blushing...it was crazy. It's like having a crush made you have a fever or something!

Ella couldn't help but smile at Logan. She probably looked like a lunatic but she couldn't help it. He was just so-adorable. He looked just as nervous as she felt and she decided they both needed some kind of tension breaker. Her specialty was humor so she decided to try that. Looking at him seriously she said, "Well who could blame you for staring when there's a beauty like-" Ella threw her arms up in the air and did a supermodel pose. "this around?" She tried to keep a straight face but broke into a grin. "Kidding, but don't worry about it...I don't mind..."because those eyes are adorable and I could look at them forever. Her thoughts making her blush.

Logan smiled back at Ella, and laughed as she did her little supermodel pose. "Well yeah of course." He said laughing still. "That is true. You are a beauty." he said, waggling his eyebrows at her playfully. He chuckled. "So you don't mind if I stare at you...ah, I see...so that means I can keep staring at you, right?" he asked, leaning in so that their noses were touching. He looked into her eyes and smiled. "I can't seem to keep my eyes off of ya, Ella." he said, winking.

Ella wasn't used to all the compliments and at this rate, she was sure her face would be permanently red. She giggled as Logan leaned in so that their noses were touching. Smiling she replied, "You're quite the charmer Superlogan." Then, without thinking she rubbed her nose against Logan's. "There. A nice eskimo kiss for you."

Logan smiled. "Weeellll I guess that's just me." he said, smirking and winking at her again. His face grew a bit red as she rubbed her nose against his. He did it back. His heart literally melted...oh great, here we go. What next, the stomach flipping or the heart skipping beats??!

Logan grinned. "Well thank you." he said, and without thinking, he pressed his lips against hers. "There. A nice...Superlogan kiss for ya." he said, winking again.

When Ella felt Logan's lips touch hers she closed her eyes. The kiss was an innocent one but it was Ella's first real kiss and she looked at him dreamily, her heart beating fast. "Thanks." She said smiling shyly at him. "My first kiss was officially awesome." She covered her mouth with her hand and her eyes grew wide, not believing she had just admitted that out loud. Dropping her hand she looked at him red faced and sighed. "I officially have no filter for my thoughts." She laughed and looked up at him, shrugging her shoulders.

OOC: Off to bed! Night

Once their lips weren't touching anymore, Logan slowly opened his eyes and gazed at Ella as she looked at him dreamily. The way she looked at him....man, he wouldn't be surprised if he just melted into a big puddle right there on the spot. He wanted to kiss her again, but he didn't. She maybe didn't want to...He smiled a little and nodded. "Same here. It was...a truly amazing kiss for me." he said. He then laughed. "Aww, that's alright. Don't worry about it." he said, waving a hand. He kept looking at her and then wrapped his arms around her and pulled her as close as possible to him. He rested his chin on top of her head. "Er...Ella? I have a.." he cleared his throat, "a question for you.." he finished. Ohhhhhhhh kaaay...here we go! This was it. He gulped. He wasn't ready.
No, he WAS.
He WAS going to do it! He was! Just like he had told Minnie.

OOC: Otay, buh-bye!

Logan made Ella feel ten times better about the situation when he confirmed that the kiss was amazing. She was trying so hard not to pump her fist in the air because she was suddenly feeling so excited about the whole situation and couldn't wait to gush about it to anyone who was willing to listen. And then he had pulled her close again and she let herself grin as widely as she wanted to because her face was now hidden from view. When he started to talk, Ella had to focus really hard on hearing what she was saying as her mind was set on replaying the kiss over and over in her head complete with fireworks and slow-motion feature. He wanted to ask her a question? What kind of question? Oh merlin, what if he was going to say that he didn't want to hurt their friendship by doing that again. If he does that I'll deck him...or burst into tears. Ella cleared her throat and then answered him back, her head still snuggled against his body. "A q-question? Okay, ask me a-anything."

"I er..." wait, what was Logan doing?! He couldn't do this! Wait, yeah he could! Just a few simple words, that's all. Yeah. Okay, here goes nothing...
"I was...ahem...w-wondering if you wanted t-to...." wow, was speaking seriously THIS hard?! "...to....er...b-b-be more than frie-friends...ya know like...er my...g-g-girlfriend??" ah, there we go. Wasn't so hard, was it? Well, it would of been better without all the stuttering and the stupid butterflies in his stomach. But...yeah. He finally got it out. Now he was worried about what she'd say...
