"Okay. If it makes you happy, I'm fine with that." he said smiling.

Taylor laid down on the ground again and looked up at the sky. Her head was fuzzy and she was confused. Her eyes closed but fluttered open. She tried to keep her eyes open but it was hard. Taylor yawned. She sat up quickly and took out the howler letter that she mentioned earlier and before it could howl again, she ripped it up to shreds and put them back in her bag. Taylor laid back down exchausted. She realized that she haven't talked for at least a minute, "So how is everything with you?"

Logan watched as Taylor ripped her letter and laid down. Poor girl. He felt so bad for her. He sat down and lifted Taylor's head gently and laid it down on his lap and continued stroking her hair. "Everything is great!" he said smiling. "I've met many amazing people, and have a crush on two very nice girls..." he said then his eyes widened. Merlin's Beard! Did he really just tell Taylor this? What an idiot he was.

Taylor smiled faintly when Logan put her head on his lap and strarted stroking her hair. It felt nice. She closed her eyes for a few seconds, "That is good that everything is great and that you met a lot of amazing people."? She opened her eyes and looked up at him when he said he had a crush on two girls, "Well those girls are lucky then." Taylor smiled, "To have a nice, sweet, charming and cute boy crushing on them."

"Yeah.." he said smiling. "Well if those girls are lucky...that makes you lucky." he said looking away at the Whomping Willow.

Taylor was about to close her eyes again.... she couldn't figure out why she was so tired when Logan said that makes her lucky. Her eyes widen a little and blush, "Wh-, wh- what?" Did he just say what she think he said? Nah can't be.... can it?

"I said: 'that makes you lucky'!" he said with a sigh. He kept his eyes on the Whomping Willow. Oh what a fascinating tree...!

Taylor kept silent. Did she upset him. She frowned at that thought. Taylor tried to keep her eyes open but she lost that battle though she didn't drift off to sleep, she just had her eyes close. She finally was able to open her eyes again and so looked up at Logan for a few then looked at the pretty tree.

Logan kept looking at the tree until he looked back at Taylor. He smiled. "Yes, Taylor, I have a crush on you." he whispered, looking back at the Whomping Willow...a smile still on her face. But he didn't feel like asking her out or anything NOW...he was only 11...

Taylor blushed at that but still kept quiet. She yawned. Taylor was happy and content right now as being his friend.... she was too young and they just met anyways. A crush was only a crush and crushes pass anyways. She finally let herself drifted off to sleep for a few minutes.

Logan watched as Taylor fell asleep in his lap. He took off his jacket and put it on her.

nicki stood there waiting not just for anyone for her friend

After a few minutes past Taylor woke up. She rubbed her eyes and realized that her head was still in Logan's lap and now his jacket was on top of her. Taylor stayed quiet for a few more minutes to fully wake up.... well as much as she could. "Sorry i don't know what came over me.... I'm just so tired." She yawned and frowned. "I was fully awake just an hour ago..."

"Don't worry about it." Logan said smiling. "You're totally fine." he said.

Angelina was walking around-nearby The Whomping Willow, tell she saw someone she might knew. "Hi, I'm Angelina. Do I know you? I might have just seen you around before," she asked. She hoped the girl didn't think she was werid.

Taylor nodded and got her wand out of her pocket. She waved it around some, writing with a charm that leaves sparks behind. Taylor smiled and laughed.

Logan laughed with Taylor. It suddenly hit him that not too long ago he had told her he liked her. Oh gosh, what had he done? He wasn't supposed to do that...was he? Now she'd know everytime he went near her. And Cardigan knew he liked her as well.

Taylor smiled and put away her wand. She messed up the words so that if any teacher walking by cant see that she did some magic unallowed. "Oh i forgot to tell you but mother said that if you want you can come over sometime during the break." She smiled.

Huh? What had he done to her? Because this wasn't the first time he noticed the tone in which she answered to his question. And he knew, from experience, that she was actually a very nice girl. A bouncy one at that time, but still very nice. Except to him.

And he wasn't as close to the tree as to be on any kind of danger, really. "I'm not that close." Which meant they were both safe in this location. No need for her to worry about...her safety.

Nor her cat's. They had good reflexes anyway.

Heh. That sounded like Walnut. Perhaps all cats were alike at a certain time of the year? He was glad that Arya had a kneazle instead of a cat. Stryker, though, had a cat that seemed to behave perfectly.

Er, excuse me? That last sentence was...kind of mean, actually. Louisa was probably not having a very good day and, well, since Treyen was the one student around...he'll get the mean replies. Hardly fair, but he didn't comment.

So, that was it, then? Louisa against the tree? That'd be fun to watch...

...but he also got up, "Immobulus." He said, looking to the Ravenclaw girl. That's the spell Stryker told him and...sort of taught him as well. Like the Glacius one. "I can help with that." If she wanted her cat so much...not that either of them were in any danger at all. Especially after he'd cast the spell on the branches that were now...not even moving by the wind.

"I'd get her soon. Not soon how long the spell will last." He hadn't tried it in the Whomping Willow before.

It kind of bugged her that her helplessness was obvious. In normal circumstance, she'd just bluff playfully that she knew the spell but this time she wanted it to be true. Immobulus. Louisa knew the spell, too bad it didn't occur to her before. "Oh." Lowering her wand awkwardly, "Thank you," she mumbled that last part and unleashed her legs to the wind.

It wasn't really hard to catch a lazy and rather chubby cat off the ground, the overwhelming feeling that you are near THE Whomping Willow was the main reason she lagged just a little bit. She let herself take a closer look at the huge trunk. The big, long and tangles branches looked scary and as if waiting for a prey to catch. Viola's paw scratching the girl's hand snapped her back from the gazing and instantly she was running back to Treyen, her cat dangling from her arms, a very grumpy look on her little face.

Louisa's grin was that of curiosity and excitement. "I've never been that close to this tree," she panted. "Who told you that?" That the spell would work on the branches temporarily. "I didn't think you'd... want to help only an acquaintance." THERE, she said it. Bluntly.

Cardigan watched the tree.Normally she wouldn`t do that.But this being The Whomping Willow was a whole different story.It kinda calmed her in a way that can`t be explained.She,cause she trusted her instincts,knew she had to come here and wait for something to happen since something would.She was sure of it.

Yeah. It was best if she moved fast. Treyen smiled at her and shrugged, as if saying 'it's nothing', but kept his eyes focused on her, wand ready, just in case he needed to cast another spell or something while she was...incredibly close to the tree.

And now she was just taking her time...looking at the tree. The cat was caught in no time, but he was rather interested and mighty curious about her reaction. It had seemed she was afraid of the closeness from the tree before...but now she was staring at the tree as if it was calling her somehow. Yeah, Treyen was getting nervous now.

He didn't call for her, though, he allowed Louisa to be mystified by the tree? Whatever.

As she made her way back, Treyen instantly noticed how her whole expression was changed. She was even grinning. He could start to agree with Tye about the whole 'girls are crazy' business if she changed her mood again...but she didn't. He smiled, again. "I think you've been closer than I've ever been." True. Though, didn't they have a lesson that revolved around the Whomping Willow? And they got pretty close to it? He couldn't recall.

Who told him what? About the spell? That was easy. "Stryker." And he missed him. A lot. And the chocolate-covered almonds he kept at his hut too. "He told me...and taught me the spell as well." In case it was ever necessary. Good thing Treyen knew this, it just came in handy. But..., "I think we better move farther away...it'll probably won't be too happy about being momentarily frozen." He tugged at her sleeves as he walked away from the tree. More than ten steps, by the way.

Er, what?! Blink. His eyes were on Louisa again. "What...makes you think that?" Okay. Now he knew there was something else going on. It just had to.

"Oh I'd love to! Sounds better than my stupid...home..." he said giving a slight nod.

"Aww poor monkey." She reached up to mess wth his hair, "Sorry to hear that your home is stupid." Taylor frowned slightly, "You are welcome anytime.... if you need or want to get away." She smiled up at him.

Logan laughed and blushed a bit as she messed with his hair. "Ah, it's fine. I'm used to things being...'stupid'." he said laughing. "Like my aunt, my home, my old school. Everyone at my school treated me like crap and made fun of me...my aunt, who took me in when my parents died never pays attention to me much. If she does, it's either telling me to do work or yelling at me.." he said. "So I'll be more than happy to leave." he added with a weird nervous laugh. Why'd he just tell Taylor this? Why'd he tell Taylor EVERYTHING?! He sighed and frowned.
