Ella closed her eyes tight as Logan began to speak. He was having a tough time saying whatever he wanted to say and Ella was pretty positive it was going to be something negative. Oh no, okay-breathe just breathe. Everything is going to be fine. She braced herself for a letdown and was shocked, I mean jaw-dropping shocked, when Logan asked her to be his girlfriend. She stepped back from the hug, looking at him with wide eyes. "Y-you want me to be your g-girlfriend?" She looked around them, wondering if this could be some kind of trick. It can't be a trick though, he wouldn't do that to me. He wouldn't do that to anyone. Pointing to herself she looked at him, wanting to be sure. "Me? are you s-sure? I m-mean why m-me?" Ella couldn't help but wonder. They were only first years and there were plenty of girls around who would kill to be with him. Why not them?

Logan nodded. "Yeah, I-I do." he said, trying not to let his face grow red. "Yeah, I'm positive, or I wouldn't have asked you." he said, cocking his head. "Well, I asked you because well..I really...really really like you." he said.

Ella looked up at Logan and could tell her was being sincere. She took a deep breath and smiled up at him, wanting to tell him how she felt too. She started talking and her hands were doing that thing where they won't just stay put by her side and she was looking at him so seriously because she had to get this out. "Well, I-erm-I l-like you too and I'm glad that I met you c-cause you make me feel like Hogwarts is home if that makes any sense and I've been trying to figure out how to go about t-telling you but I guess you've already taken care of that-" She stopped to take a breath, looking at the ground for a second to gather her thoughts. Ella, stop talking a mile-a-minute and get to the point already. She looked back up at him and continued. "-right, I'm rambling. Sorry about that. I just-well, Y-yes. I'll be your g-girlfriend." She finished and let her hands drop to her sides.

Logan listened to Ella speak, and nodded. "Yeah, th-that makes sense." he said, nodding. Then he waited for her to continue and when she did he couldn't help but smile. "O-Okay." he said, still smiling. He then walked close to her as she dropped her arms to her sides. He wrapped his arms around her and kissed her again. He felt like he was king of the world at the moment or something. He made a mental note in his head not to get too serious or anything. I mean, he's only 11, right?

Ella felt herself melting as he kissed her for the second time. She allowed herself to kiss him back and then pulled away, eyes closed. "This isn't a dream right?" She chuckled a little and then opened her eyes slowly. She smiled widely as Logan came into view and reached for his hands. "Well it'll be handy having superlogan as a boyfriend," she said with a shy smile. "What with you coming to my rescue and all that."

Maxwell walked into the Duck Pond with Violet Hand-in-Hand. "So is there any way i can convince you to come see me in London a few weeks before next term starts, I know it's not fair of me to ask you to leave your home and not want to leave mine but i just met my father for the first time and i'd like to spend some time with him this summer."

As Maxwell finished his sentence He recognized the large shape of Helios, flying toward him with a jacket in his beak, Maxwell took the Jacket and said "Thank you, Helios."

They reached the duck pond and Violet was quite happy by what she saw. The ducks swimming in the lake calmed her a bit. See him in London? That sounded really interesting. "But..but..wouldn't your father be upset seeing..you know", Violet gestured at their joined hands. What would her parents think that she was already in a relationship with someone at this age? "I think I'm not as sad now that I've found you, cutie" Violet smiled and nuzzled against Maxwell's shoulder.

Logan smiled as she kissed him back, all he could hear right then was his heart, thumping loudly against his chest. He then giggled. Wait...was that a giggle? "Be a man, Logan." he said in his head. He shook his head. "I'm pretty sure it's not a dream." he said, smiling as she reached for his hands. He nodded. "Yeah of course!" he said, doing a superman pose. "Always here for the lovely Ella Bishop." he said, beaming.

Did he really just giggle? Ella couldn't help but grin at that. It was too cute. And then he was posing like superman and Ella was laughing again. She sure did laugh a lot when he was around. She waved her hand in the air and said airily, "Oh stop it, you're making me blush..." for like the millionth time. "So er-what happens now?" She wasn't really sure if things changed now that they were together. "I've no experience with this whole-um-relationship thing..."

Logan grinned. "Oh? I'm making you blush?!" he asked, leaning in closely so that their noses were touching again. "It's very cute when you blush, Ella." he said, waggling his eyebrows at her.

Logan had a puzzled look on his face. That exact same thing was on HIS mind...well they seemed to be doing just fine right now. "I don't have experience either. But I think we're doing just fine at the moment...d-don't you?" he asked, feeling that was a weird way to say it but whatever.

Ella laughed as Logan waggled his eyebrows. Yup, she was turning pink. "You're doing it again..." She said giggling and pointing at her face.

Ella felt relieved. Logan didn't have a clue either and that was comforting. She smiled, nodding her head. "Yup, we're doing great."

Logan grinned as she turned pink. "Perfect." he said laughing and kissing her again.
"Yeah, of course we are!" he said smiling. He then sat down on the gound and lied down. He put his arms behind his head and looked up at the sky. "It's pretty nice out, isn't it?" he asked, looking up at Ella.

‘Mmm… yeah. I thought of asking Lafay to open it…’ But I’ll just wait for someone else to do that. As Jory asked her what she was mumbling, the girl decided to just drop it. Leaving questions unanswered- tipical for Gwen. Even though Ariadne tried convincing her not to do that anymore, she simply couldn’t. What if I don’t have anything interesting to say? Or it is unimportant? Psh…

‘Prague’, Gwendolyn started saying, but suddenly stopped and looked at the ducks. Maybe it wasn’t such a great idea to bring them at Hogwarts… They are looking kind of weird at me. Anywaaay—‘It was quite interesting, actually. The city is beautiful’ Yes, she could bare spending a few days with muggles… After all, it was Prague! ‘I have a few drawings…’, she started saying and flipped through the pages of her notebook. ‘Here’, the third year smirked and handed the notebook over to Jory. The first drawing was one of her favorites. And the second one, well.. that was all right too.

‘Yes, I know I’ll miss a lot’, the Ravie admitted. ‘But it is Egypt!’, she cried out. Yeah, that was pretty much the only argument for going she could come up with. And there were lots against: her dad had to work there, she would have to skip a lot of classes, she would be left behind with everything and her mum probably wouldn’t agree either. Hmph.

‘Erm… not really’, she replied. I had NO idea there was a theatre here. Muggle Studies Professor?, Gwen repeated in her head. ‘It seems like she never runs out of ideas…’, the girl mused and decided to go sometime and check out one of the movies. Even though she didn’t like Muggle Studies (even less since the door called her rude), the third year actually planned on seeing what was going on there sometime. ‘It sound quite interesting’, Gwen admitted. ‘Hey! I heard of the lion king!!!’, she said, looking really surprised. Thinking that her reaction might have been a little odd, Gwendolyn felt the need to explain herself. ‘I don’t know much about muggles. Much less about their movies… I heard about some of them, but I only watched Anastasia’ Ihm.

Jez cracked. She stood, biting her lip hard to keep from crying. "Yeah, he is," she said, swallowing hard. "I wonder how many more people he'll kill just to get at us." She didn't know whether she meant her family or her friends when she said 'us'. Both lead straight back to her. Jez wondered if Team Wolf would think of capturing one of them to get at the rest. A honeytrap that she'd walk right into if it was one of her siblings or friends.
She had to get out. Out, away, somewhere they'd never find her. Option 2 was racing through her mind again, perfectly clear and planned out. Hogwarts was surrounded by mountains, she could hide there for the rest of her life and never be discovered. Yes, Jez was more of an urban survivor than a wilderness one, but she'd make do. It occurred to her that she might be insane to even think of this. She probably was.
Jez began silently walking away towards the castle, then hesitated. If she really was leaving ... she turned around and raced back to the two boys, hugging Jordan and kissing Nate before running off again. They'd want an explanation, she would bet on it. Maybe she'd be able to nick a school owl and use it as messenger. Jez was definitely not above stealing an owl.

Putting the Jacket on Violet Maxwell said "I don't think he'll care, and even if he does he hasn't exactly been here to enforce any rules about it so i don't care. Besides he works at the ministry so it's not like i'll see him everyday...Do you think it'll bother your parents?" He asked somewhat nervously. "Because honestly i'm not sure i care who does and doesn't like it i'm happy i found you too." He said laying his head on hers, which was on his shoulder.

"No Jez you aren't running now!" Jordan said, through gritted teeth. He scrambled up and dashed after Jez, he was not allowing her to run now that it was getting tough. He would catch her up soon... Just as long

"Hey Max," Jordan said as he ran past the other Gryffindor boy and this girl...

Ella looked down at Logan and nodded her head. "Yeah, it really is." She laid down next to him on the ground, letting her hands pull at the grass around her. Looking up at the sky she sighed. "I'm not really looking forward to winter weather if I'm being honest. I hate when it gets that cold." She shivered thinking about it. She'd rather be outside in the sun than bundled up trudging through the snow.

"Yeah.." he said, smiling as she laid down next to him. He scooted closely to her, and looked at the sky as she spoke. "I love winter. It's real fun, I like having snowball fights and other winter-y stuff. But it can get pretty cold." he said, turning his head to look at her. "So what is your favorite season?" he asked.

Ella closed her eyes, picturing a winter with Logan by her side. Maybe it wouldn't be so bad after all. She opened her eyes and smiled at him when he asked her her favorite season. "My favorite season? Summer, definitely summer." There was just something about the warmth of the sun on her face and being able to walk around barefoot, toes in the grass and the birds chirping, taking pictures. It was her favorite. "Swimming, lazy days, reading out in the sun...I love it." She looked back up at the sky, wondering how different her life would be come summer. "And yours?" She asked him.

Logan listened to Ella and smiled. "Awesome!" he said. He actually hated summer. Well it was nice and beautiful out, sure but spending time with his aunt and being away from Hogwarts? Nooo way. "Yeah, it is pretty great." He said. "Mine? I think I like spring the best." he said. "It's just always beautiful out, and it is the perfect weather for swimming. And the beautiful skies always gets me in the mood for painting...and it also gets me in the mood to play my guitar as well." he said.

Ella listened to Logan talk about the spring and smiled. Spring was nice...the flowers blooming and the warm weather returning...it was probably beautiful at Hogwarts in the spring. "Spring is lovely too."

She looked at Logan, her eyes wide as he talked about painting and playing the guitar. "I didn't know you could paint...or play the guitar for that matter!" She wondered what other talents he was hiding. "You'll have to show me sometime. My dad has an acoustic guitar. He's quite good but he's not the best singer." She laughed, thinking of how horrible her dad sang.

Violet smiled at Maxwell when he put the jacket on her. She felt much warmer. "My father is really protective of me. He can never be satisfied by any guy I'm with. I'll never know what will happen if he sees us together." Violet said sadly. "We'll never be able to tell what will happen in the future."

"It is." he said smiling. Then he nodded. "I will have to show you! I'll have to paint you a picture..." he said. "He does? That's cool!" he said. Then he laughed as she told him he wasn't the best singer. "I love singing." he said. "But I wouldn't call myself good, but not bad. Just in between I guess." he said, shrugging.

"I'd like that." She said cheerfully. She wished she could paint. She was okay at sketching but hadn't done it in a while. "Yeah he does." She said smiling. "You can sing too?" Seriously, what couldn't he do? She was wondering if he was just being modest when he told her he was just an okay singer. She was curious to hear him. "I'll be the judge of that..." She said playfully. "Will you sing for me?" She smiled at him, batting her eyelashes. How could he say no to that?!

"Awesome. I'll make it as soon as I can." he said. Logan blushed. "Sing for you?!" he asked, looking at her as she batted her eyelashes at him. Oh..he couldn't say no to that. Even if she didn't bat her eyelashes. "Okay...okay. Anything for you, Ella." he said, kissing her. He closed his eyes and began singing a favorite muggle song of his in the best voice he could do:
"When she was just a girl
She expected the world
But it flew away from her reach so
She ran away in her sleep
and dreamed of
Para-para-paradise, Para-para-paradise, Para-para-paradise
Every time she closed her eyes
When she was just a girl
She expected the world
But it flew away from her reach
and the bullets catch in her teeth
Life goes on, it gets so heavy
The wheel breaks the butterfly
Every tear a waterfall
In the night the stormy night she'll close her eyes
In the night the stormy night away she'd fly
and dreams of
Para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise
Oh oh oh oh oh oh-oh-oh
She'd dream of
Para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise
Oh oh oh oh oh oh-oh-oh-oh
lalalalalalalalalalala
And so lying underneath those stormy skies
She'd say, "oh, ohohohoh I know the sun must set to rise"
This could be
Para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise
Oh oh oh oh oh oh-oh-oh
This could be
Para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise
This could be
Para-para-paradise
Oh oh oh oh oh oh-oh-oh-oh..."
he finished and opened his eyes, looking up at the sky.
