Taylor shrugged, "Might go with Mom or Henry..." She swinged as high as she could, trying to avoid talking about what was on her mind, "I might stay at my Auntie's though..."

"Of course you might...I would have been surprised if you didn't say that.." He said with a slight grin. "That's why i'm debating staying in London, Min lives there."

Taylor sighed and looked at him, "Yeah." That was all that she said.

"What's wrong, Tay? Did I hurt your feelings?" He asked.

Tay sighed, "No, you didnt hurt my feelings, Maxwell. I am just getting a tad irrated about thinking of summer."

"Why the irritation if you don't mind me asking?" He asked slowing his swinging.

Taylor looked away and stopped swinging. She got up and went over to where she left her guitar. Tay sighed and went back to Maxwell. "I just need to work out something..." She thought back on her family.

Maxwell nodded. "Okay, anything i can help with?" He asked returning his feet to the ground.

Taylor sighed, "I dont know..." She slumped into the swing again and looked up at the sky, "So how are you?"

He nodded. "Well what's wrong?" He asked and leaned his head against the chains of the swing. "I'm good.."

"Doesnt matter." She sighed and looked at him, "That is good that you are good."

Maxwell shook his head. "It matters to me...I want to help you.."

"Maxwell, it doesnt matter okay?" She sighed and twisted the necklace that Damon got her." She sighed.

Maxwell sighed. "Fine...I just want to help you, you're my sister and i hate seeing you upset."

As he complimented her, he saw a quick hint of blush before she began to study her hands. This caused the hair to cover her face and she spoke. "Well, it's true enough for me," he went on. He thought she was cute and fun to be around. He was being a little playful though at the same time.

He watched as her gaze found the dragon rockers. "I think the playground was designed with the 'mishaps' in mind. I'm sure that it's an excellent way to prepare for dangers that present themselves after Hogwarts. But also to be fun at the same time. I know I've had the best time today...perhaps the best time ever."

He followed her eyes when she motioned for something by the swings. He nodded. "Yes. It is." he went over to pick it up. He placed it in his pocket. "It's from my mum. I'll send it home to see if she can fix it." At the thought of his mum, his face clouded over a bit.

Tay sighed, "Cant we do something else but talk about this?" She looked at him.

Merlin's beard, could Ian not let her go one second without blushing? He was sweet and everything, but she was incredibly embarrassed and probably looked a lot like a tomato. The second year continued to feel the heat in her cheeks and tried not to smile too widely at her friend. "Well if I'm so distracting then maybe you should stay away from me...you just came back, I don't want you to have to leave again cause I broke you!" Ella joked, pushing him lightly. There. Now her blush was surely gone, yeah?

"That's actually quite smart." Ella said, considering Ian's theory. "Which means you're quite smart, y'know." Because he had been the one to figure out the mystery. She grinned when he went on to say that this had been the best time ever. "Best ever." She repeated with a nod. The blonde was having a lot of fun and it was incredibly nice to have no worries for a change.

The second year's green eyes followed Ian as he went to retrieve his bracelet and raised her eyebrows as she noticed the change in his face. She crossed her legs in front of her and looked at him, concerned. "Everything alright?" Not that she wanted to intrude or anything, but she didn't want to see Ian upset. "I'm here if you want to talk about it."

Cornelius's eyebrows rose at his response, and in the next second seemed to notice the black eye Paulie was sporting. He simply listened for a moment, trying to figure out if he had been in an emotional or physical fight, or both. While listening, Cornelius took Paulie's cue to jump onto the swing at his side, though he didn't sit immediately. Rather, the young man hopped up onto the seat, standing up as he swung back and forth just slightly. As Paulie asked about Aspen, he grew a bit distracted, letting out a soft chuckle as a grin fell onto his face.

"She's great," he beamed, glancing over at Paulie for a moment as he propelled himself forward. "Confusing as ever," he revised playfully, still smiling, "But still somehow fantastic." He finally plopped down onto the swing from his standing position, sitting down at Paulie's side and beginning to swing normally. "But this is not about me," he chuckled softly, returning his gaze over to the older boy at his side. "You've gotta explain this black eye, mate."

"Congrats." That face was kind of freaky. Although a tiny bit cute and innocent, which was probably the purpose, definetely freaky. Very wide. "I pursuaded my twin sister," Lilly smiled. "And I tried to convince another girl"- Ira -"but she didn't believe me. But I WILL convince her someday. She HAS to listen to me because she's my friend." Friends always listen to each other. Always, always, always. As a RULE.

Seemed distracted by the idea of chocolate. She was too, at the age of eleven or how ever old Blue was. "I have some muggle chocolate if you like?" Lilly offered. "It's not as good as wizard chocolate, though." She reached into her bag and pulled out the bar of "Cadburys". It was just a plain one. Blue might not eat it, though. Being so boring.

She giggled as Blue flew off the swings. "IWANNADOTHATTOO!" Lilly began to swing as high as she POSSIBLY could. Then she let go. "WHEEEEEEEE!" she squealed like a little girl. And landed in a big pile of snow! There must be safety charms here or something. Because nobody seemed to be hurting themselves. And both her and Blue had landed in soft, safe snow.

"Oh." What else was there to say? Oooh, she knew! "I brought some chocolate frogs for us to set free!" Lilly beamed, holding out the big pile in her hands. "But do you think it would be mean in winter, when they could freeze?"

He seemed to make her blsh a lot by telling her the truth. Her face was nearly the color of the gryffindor's red. He thought it was sweet that she had that reaction, but he should probably not push it too far. "Nah..." he started "I couldn't stay away from you now if the dementors tried to keep us apart. You're far too much fun to not be around and I don't feel in danger around you, just distracted. Nothing hurt too badly " he finished with a wink.

It was now his turn to blush as she told him he was smart. "I'm not too sure about that. I feel like all this studying to catch up has stunted my brain power. I feel like there's so much stuff pushed in there, if I try to add more, some will have to fall out to make room. One of the reasons I came by the playground and I'm so glad I did, otherwise I might not have seen you here." He reached out to give her a quick hug, just to let him know how happy he was to see her.

As he walked back, he saw her concern. He tried to replace it with a weak smile. "It's just normal family stuff. Hopefully it will get better, but I don't know." He looked into her green eyes and melted at the way she watched him. He felt like she truly cared and it was nice to have someone feel that way.

Ariana skipped into the playground she sat on a swing and pushed herself lightly, it was nice to just be alone for once. no Justin, no Min, No Max, No Damon or taylor Just Ariana. she ;looked around at all the other students

Justin walked down to the playground looking for his girlfriend ... As he walked into the playground area a smile lifted at the corners of his mouth as he saw Ariana swinging.... He went to her and put his hands over her eyes and disguised his voice and said, " Three guesses who it is..." Waiting for her to answer.

Ariana soon saw darkness and a creepy voice she quickly jumped up and turned around sucker punching the perp in the face before realizing it was Justin "Justin, you git, Dont Do That!" she said before she realized she just punched him in the face "Oh My Gosh im so sorry!" she said holding his face as she saw some blood trickle out of his nose

Justin had a broad smile on his face until Ari punched him square in the nose... " Ugh! " he exclaimed as both his hands went to his face. " Well, I guess I guess I don't have to worry about whether or not you can defend yourself....... " Justin said as she took his bloody face in her hands... " I'm alright.... Just a bit of blood...." He said as he took his face away from her hands and wiped his nose with his sleeve.....

"Oh Gosh im so sorry, you scared me half to death!" she exclaimed as he brushed his nose with his sleeve "see now your going to stain your shirt." she said to him trying to lighten the mood."do you need to go to the hospital wing? are you ok?" she asked him concerned
