"Exactly," Alec said, glad that someone was agreeing with him about the weather. Except, it was slightly weird that they were here talking about the weather, of all things. "Yeah? I heard they were hard," he said, shrugging, "The only person who'll believe that is you. I think you'll pass!" She did work hard, by the sounds of it. It had to happen.

"They are. They're all brilliant!" Really, there was so much talent in these teams! "You're just saying that because I'm a Hufflepuff. But thanks, Ad." Yeah, his older sister was really nice. "Have you tried having gummy bears? They could help," Grin, grin, GRIN!

Alec looked over at Ad and took a hold of the glasses, looking at them carefully before handing them back. "You look pretty in glasses," he said, "Oh! Are they hurting you now?" Like, when she had the glasses on.

Ad sighed. "They are hard. And I'm not gonna pass, Alec. I'm not the only one who believes it..." Her mother didn't help matters much at all.

Ad smiled. "They are" she sighed. She raised an eyebrow and looked over at Alec, shaking her head. "No, I'm not. I'm saying it because it's the truth. I remember last year...Hufflepuff had an amazing Quidditch Captain. Captain Kita Lewis" Ad had to stop a minute so she didn't start tearing up. "Yes, Hufflepuff has had, has, and always will have, amazing Captains...but, in the years I've been here...Kita was one of the best. Of course, you might think I'm bias..." she sighed again. "From the beginning, Hufflepuff's Quidditch team has been...well, amazing" she summed up. She smiled more. "I just got sent a bucket-load of Italian sweets. I'll be fine"

Ad watched Alec as he had hold of her glasses. She took them back and gently put them on. "I do not" she mumbled. "With or without glasses, I'm not pretty" she sighed. "No, not right now"

Harvey was still looking at the place where Minnie had left.. and he turned around as Ameliah spoke to him and looked at him.. "I am sorry about her being like that .. she is just going through alot at the moment.. I am sure its nothing personal to you.. this year has not been a good one for her.. I just hope it gets better for her. You ok?" he asked her.. as he thought about what had just happened.. that was not like Mins at all.. everything that had happened to her was causing this.. he only hoped that he would not lose her.

Ameliah looked up and nodded. "I'm okay. I'm just... worried. If she is suddenly this rude, there must be something besides 'a bad year' influencing her. Something turning her against her friends...." her brow furrowed in concern.

Harvey smiled when she nodded "Glad you are ok." he said he then thought about what she said. "You think so? That had come to mind.. but I was hoping that I was just being silly.. I mean we have always been close... the 4 of us I mean.. and its kind of scary that something could turn her against us and her other friends.." he said as he thought about it.. WAS something turning her against them.. well it did sound like it.. Edward told her that she couldnt trust the Amigos.. when she DID trust Harvey and told him a secret before she had told anyone else.. cause he was her best friend.. Harvey hoped that he could get her to see sense before anything happened to her.

Ameliah thought back to what the girl had yelled. 'Edward was right .... can't trust the amigos...' "Who's that Edward person? I think he's the one...."

Harvey looked at her as she asked her question.. oh yes Minnie had mentioned Edward "Oh.. er.. Edward is a cousin of hers. We had met him briefly last summer." he said as he thought about the rest of her answer "Yeah I thought so too.. but he is family.. by the way that she was talking about him.. he seems to care about her." he said thinking whether Ameliah could be right.. he hoped that Ameliah was wrong.. but then the question was.. why was Edward doing all this?.. and that too with Minnie.. she was family.

Ameliah looked up at Harvey. "Well... good intentions can end in bad things. You should at least talk to him... sooner would be better. I have to go. 'Bye!" she gave him a hug and went.

Harvey listened to Ameliah before she said she had to go "Oh ok.. no worries.. Bye!" he said as he was surprised with a hug from her.. making him turn a little red.. he wasnt expecting that hug.. and then back to what she had said.. good intentions ending in bad things? he should talk with Edward.. unlikely.. if Mins knew she would probably want to know why.. could he lie to her?,, well it was worth a try.. he hoped

Ameliah came running back hours later, out of breath. "Harvey! I just had a run-in with Mins. Well... not exactly me. I was about to go to the bathroom, but I heard her in there. I disguised myself using my personal potion, and got her to like me. I think she's just under a lot of stress from moving around, and her family problems. It's not Edward's fault. Well, not completely. You could still talk to him. Oh and by the way: If Minnie asks about a girl named "Callidora Black", she's a Ravenclaw first year with black hair and bright blue eyes. I used that as a disguse." she explained. "And a heads up- Minnie now has rainbow colored short hair and snake bites."

Harvey was still near the Willow thinking about what had happened and what Ameliah had said to him.. when Ameliah came back running out of breath and spoke to him. "Oh! Well it looks like you were busy!" he said chuckling once she had finished talking "Yeah I thought it might be stress too.. so a bit of everything then?.. well lets see if I can get close enough to him without her knowing.. I dont want to risk upsetting her again.. I dont like to see anyone upset.." he smiled.. it was cause he was a nice guy that he cared about all his friends "Callidora Black? Ok.. no worries.. nice disguise if she didnt recognise you.. black hair.. blu.. bright blue eyes.. nice combination" he said as he tried to imagine her disguise.. before moving on to the other part of the conversation.. "Rainbow colored short hair?! Ok! snake bites?? why would she want to have snake bites?! and where did get them from? A snake didnt really bite her did it?" he asked a little shocked and worried at her new look "But thanks for the heads up" he smiled as he wondered why Minnie had suddenly changed her look.

Ameliah looked at Harvey sheepishly when he asked about the snake bites. "Well, the hair I walked in on. The snake bites... I was trying to get on her good side so she wouldn't hate 'Callidora' too. I peirced her with a spell. She said she wanted to 'lose the goodie brown curls' when I asked about the hair. Honestly, I think the new look gave her a real pick-me-up. She was a lot more open to this stranger than to me.... It might even help her with the stress. It's a girl thing, trust me. she said, remembering when she wanted to go emo. "It actually looks pretty good, though."

OOC: oh yeah she looks like the avvie pic I have now btw

Ameliah grinned. "No problem. If you need to try and find anything else about her, "Callidora" will be happy to help. See you!" she winked and walked off for the second time today.

Harvey was still smiling as Ameliah continued to talk and explain Minnie's new look to him.. "Oh so snake bites.. your idea.. got it.. it did? well thats good.. i guess its what she needed. Oh! good to know." he said a little confused at how a change of look could help with stress.. but then Ameliah did say it was a girl thing and to trust her.. "Ok.. yeah I am sure it does" he smiled.. Minnie usually looked good anyways.. even when she had changed her hair before.. she was still just as beautiful as she was now with her brown hair. "Sure if I do.. I will know where to come.. Thanks Ameliah.. sure see you!" he said smiling as Ameliah left and winking at him.. this made Harvey smile .. she was turning out to be a good friend to him.. she had improved Minnie's mood and told she would help if needed.

OOC: Yeah I thought so
