The Front Gate

Strong iron gates prevent students from getting out while making sure anything unwanted stays out. They can only be opened by the Professors and Staff and are always open on Hogsmeade weekends to allow for passage to the village.

For da awesome Sarah/Katie's pic's lil bro <33
 

It was the front gate that had memories.

She had met her first best friend Edmond here, finding out that they both loved drawing, they instantly made a great bond together, and then this is how she came to Hogwarts each term, and how excited she would be going through the gates and welcoming a brand new year of adventures, and this year she knew was going to be the best ever.

Asher was wondering around the grounds again, it seem to him that everyday he found something new. He'd not gone this far before he seen a stone fence and a gate.

He jumped up on a huge rock in a superman pose and shouted "I LOVE HOGWARTS!!!!"


Yeah hopefully no one was around to hear that... Except a older looking blonde girl... Yeah that's embarrassing. He slid off the rock and sat on it.

He so didn't do that.

Katie tried to hold her laughing in as she saw the first year say his love for Hogwarts, "Hogwarts is pretty cool" Katie smiled to the boy, there was something about his face that reminded her of someone she knew, who?

"I'm Katelyn Star by the way" Katie put out her hand for the first year to shake, she smiled sweetly looking down at the boy.

Gah!

The girl had heard him. Asher smiled though when the girl replied to him saying that Hogwarts was pretty cool. He blinked a few times before shaking the blondes hand.

"Romalotti... Asher Romalotti. Wonderful to meet you." Wait he'd seen this girl before but where. He looked at her really good.

Ah! He knew. "I've seen a picture of you before!" He exclaimed. Yep he did. Two summers ago, the picture in question was in a box underneath Caroline's bed, along with a bunch of other stuff including a Gryffindor scarf. Why that was in there. Well he knew why... or who it was from.

"Pleasure" Katie smiled to the boy, and then it was the time of day she loved! Giving out a nickname time! "May I call you Ash?" Katie asked nicely, Katie always was giving out nicknames, it was fun, and it seemed lots of people loved the nicknames she gave them, she had a talent!

.....He had seen a picture of her?

Where could he have seen that? She wondered if there was a photo of her floating around Hogwarts, "Where did you see it?" Katie asked.

Gideon Gert
 

Elektra had went back to her common room after that little- well it was not that little- of an episode in the bathroom with Selina and Violet. Elektra couldn't even remember most of what happened until she had looked down at her hand in the bathroom noticing little pieces of glass in her hand and then looking up seeing Selina's face was bruised and bleeding. Elektra had given Selina a pretty hard hit to her face. After Selina left the bathroom, Elektra left right after leaving poor Violet alone. Elektra needed to clear her head. She wrapped her hand up after carefully picking out the pieces of glass from her hand. Could her hand get infected? Maybe, but she was not in the mood to go to the nurse to have it healed up. She wanted it to heal naturally with no magic. The bleeding looked like it wasn't going to stop for a while so she wrapped it up as best as she can and blocked the pain out of her mind. She HAS been through much worse, and good thing that it's hidden. After wrapping her hand up, she changed her outfit and she just wanted to get back to just walking around the grounds.

She has pretty much seen the spots that she remembered mostly. All except one. The Front Gate. Oh, joy. That sure brought back memories. When Elektra reached the Front Gate she paused for a moment as she just remembers a certain scenario that had happened here Kissing Gideon aka her first kiss. She touched her hand feeling a slight hit of pain on her hand and she winced and looked down at her hand and she then lowered her hand and walked closer to the front gate letting her fingers touch the gate and she chuckled lightly to herself thinking of how stupid she was for what she did before she left, but that is what you call a fool in love...but was she still? It was hard to even tell because Elektra had changed. She had changed a lot. She wasn't old self anymore. Sometimes...certain events can change a person. Unfortunately, this happened to Elektra.

Elektra kept looking out pass the front gate as she closed her eyes for a moment just taking a slowl exhale out until she heard a voice. A voice that she really didn't expect to hear right now, but she did. She didn't know if this was her mind playing tricks on her, or if he was really there, but she kept her back to him and opened her eyes and let out a light huff before replying. "What can I say? I couldn't resist coming back." She said softly and then slowly turned around and there he was. Gideon Gert was standing right there, and he hadn't changed one bit. He still looked good. That angelic face was something she couldn't forget. Bloody hell even hearing that Scottish accent gave Elektra buttlerflies. She managed to sneakishly hide her hand behind her by carefully sliding her hand into her back jean pocket and she stood still until she spoke again to him. "Round two Gideon?" she said as a joke and then she chuckled softly knowing that sounded stupid, but eh it never hurt ot give a really bad joke at awkward moments like this.

The fifth year had stuck his own hands in his pocket for lack of a better thing to do with them as he awaited a response, especially seeing as crossing his arms seemed argumentative. He watched her back for any cue as to the tone his presence would be receieved in. But she was closed off...only giving a huff before speaking and still facing away from him until she was done. "Aye...I guess not," he replied in answer not knowing what to say. It really was an ackward situation and he was far less knowledgable of the circumstances then his companion was. Gideon raised an eyebrow at her choice of phrase, three simple words that could be taken many ways and he was clueless where to begin.

"I don't know what ye mean."

"Oh, you know...maybe you wanted a second go at what happened last year eh?" She chuckles softly. "Relax. It was a poor joke Gideon. I'm only joking around. I was never a great comedian you know." She said and then shifted her weight onto one leg as she tilted her head slightly and she turned back around removing her hand from her pocket and kept her hand in front of her looking out pass the front gate. "So...you and Selina now..." her voice lowered a bit as she spoke her next words as if it was almost a whisper, "never thought I would see that coming."

"Wha--?!" Gideon remarked taken by surprise before she chuckled breaking him off. Oh...it was a joke. Ha..ha. The boy took a deep breath to recover, wishing against reason that she ignored his original reaction. he still didn't catch the movement of her hand and its condition which was probably her intention in keeping it out of sight. "Aye...me and Selina," he confirmed with a nod despite the fact she couldn't see that simple gesture since she was back looking away. The fifth year strained to hear her whisper but he caught enough of it. "Neither did we at first," Gideon answered quietly.

Asher chuckled and smirked. "Sure. If I can call you KK?" Hehehe yeah he was the nickname king. Well he was the king of a lot things. But Ashe was a very fitting nickname for him and KK was a very good name for her. KK was the first older Slytherin girl he met besides Selena but he met her in Italy.

Oh yeah, that must of sounded odd saying that he'd seen a picture of her before. "My sister has a box of pictures in her room. You're in some of them. She graduated last term"

Amethyst walked out to the Front Gate with her trunk rolling behind her. She sat on it as she waited for Kyle to come and pick her up. She didn't know how she was going to face Devinity. She was Justin's mother and she would probably hate Amethyst. She just busted into tears right then and there.

Harvey was bored with nothing to do so he thought that he would come to the front gate and just hang around here.. when he got there he saw a lone girl sitting on her trunk and he instantly recognised her .. he ran over to her and he saw that she was crying "Ame? whats wrong? whats happened?" he said sitting next to her on her trunk and looking at her..

She was in mid crying and then heard someone she knew that she knew. She slowly turned around and there he was. Harvey Watson. She shook her head and looked down. "Your best Mate..." Her voice was colored in rage and sadness. "He dumped me.Without warning. He used me. He betrayed me.." She turned before her saw the rage in her eyes.

Harvey looked at Ame and listened as she spoke.. once she was finished he sighed and looked at the ground shaking his head.. "I am sorry Ame.. he shouldnt have done that to you. I really thought that...... but I guess I thought wrong.." he then looked at Ame.. "You know he is not the only one that has done that." he paused as he looked at Ame "Me and Mins have also broken up as well.. so I know just how you feel Ame.." he said to her.. it was then that he suddenly realised that he was sitting on a trunk which he assumed was hers "Ame.. are you going somewhere?" he asked as he looked around at the trunk..

Elektra took a moment hearing Gideon's soft reply to her and she stayed quiet for a moment or two and all she could was let out a huff. "I should have seen it coming though you know? I mean the way I left...it wasn't really exaclt a pleasant goodbye. I just...poof. And- and I guess it was stupid of me to even think I still had a chance after being gone a whole year." She said disappointed with herself. She lowered her head and chuckled at herself knowing how ridiculous she must have sounded to him. Forgetting about her wounded hand, she lowered it and now it was in plain sight. Blood was beginning to slowly bleed through the bandages, but it was a very little amount. Elektra wasn't really paying attention to her hand, just more of how she sounded like a ridiculous hopeless romantic to Gideon.

"I'm going home." She looked down at Saber, petting his head gently as she sniffled. It registered in her head. "You and Minnie broke up...wh-whoa.." She never thought in a million years. Then again, she said used to say the same about she and Justin.

Harvey was shocked "No Ame.. you cannot go home.. you are my friend and I cannot let you leave Hogwarts.. we have both broken up with someone we loved very much.. but you dont see me leaving do you? No Ame.. please stay. dont leave.. please!" he said to her smiling.. he didnt want any of his friends to leave.. he wanted them all there with him.. "Yes we did.. quite suddenly mind you.. I didnt see it coming.. probably you didnt see it either" he said smiling once more

Gideon listened to Elektra, shaking her head as she jokingly assumed she had been blind to his and Selina's relationship. Shoot...he and Selina hadn't even known there could be anything other then friendship until they had taken a chance after the surprising kiss in the locker room after that first game. "I doubt ye could have. It just happened," he commented trying to assure her. The girl seemed to be upset with herself more then others at least to him as he listened to her go on. He frowned as he spotted what looked like bandages around her hand, the boy unconsciously moving closer as if wanting to check that he was seeing what he was seeing. "Elektra...what happened?" he asked a touch of concern in his tone.

She nodded, looking at Butterfly. She had an apologetic look on her face and hugged her. "I'll owl you..." She had just met Butterfly, and she didn't want her to think less of her for leaving.

She shook her head. "Harvey you are braver than me... I'm just some girl from an orphanage.... no one loved me... and for me to think Justin actually did?" She looked down. She felt bad, leaving Harvey with his ex and his lying best mate. But she didn't feel right being here.
