Harvey thought about this question before he answered "Yeah there should be... I mean there are muggles everywhere.. so I would there would some from Texas too! Although I dont know any Texans myself." he smiled "Maybe you know someone who knows a Texan" he said as he wondered if Minnie knew any Texans

"I tried." She sighed and frowned. Tay rubbed the bruise she had gotten.

"Well just keep trying. He will come around. I was so afraid of this happening. Every way this could have went had someone being awkward and hurt." she frowned "I even told Maxwell that at the feast."

"I just wished that he didnt like me...... though he is sweet and nice....." Tay shook her head, "He likes you though."

Minerva shook her head "Yes he does, but he loves you and I can't replace that." she looked at Taylor, "Taylor, Maxwell aside, how do you really feel about Damon and be honest with yourself."

Daichi flinched as Thea flicked one of his lenses and with a slight blush on his face he pushed his glasses up with the help of his fingers. Now that it was properly on , Daichi saw Thea picking up her bag and he followed her example. Pushing Mr.Duckles back in.

Touchy? him? No he was not touchy! It was the truth right? Daichi blinked a couple of times at the Gryffindor before he shrugged his shoulders.

Daichi had the feeling that Thea did not really like the rockers because the look on her face was odd. Eyeing the sugar quill that Thea took out, he bit his lower lip unconciously as he stared at the candy but then shook his head.

"Okay on 3!" he shouted as he hoisted his bag over his shoulder.

"1..." WOOOOOOOOOOOOSH! He ran as FAST as his long legs could carry him to the dragon rockers. Laughing madly again at his BRILLIANT plan to become first.

Chuckling at her saying she was just being easy on him. "Of course ye were." he said winking at her. He was enjoying himself that was for sure. He found it curious that he'd not seen too many 6th years though. He'd seen a lot of older and younger students, but hardly any in his own year! What had happened? Did they all fail their OWL's? Hmmm....

Pumping his legs, he had to spread them apart at the bottom so they wouldn't drag on the ground, he still moved up higher and higher. Laughing as she cried weeeeee, he laid back more to go even higher.

Tay sighed, "Well....um......" She twisted her short hair, "I think he is.... um......uh......." Taylor looked at her and blushed, "Well he is.... maybe a little cute and nice and sweet......and funny....." Taylor sighed and shook her head, "He is my cousn and i'm dating someone so it doesnt matter what i think of him."

Jezzabelle stepped off the swing a confused and puzzled look crossing her face. She chewed on her bottom lip and looked around at the OH MY MERLIN A PLAYGROUND!!! She ran to climb up and find a slide to go down. There was two things bothering her though. How did she get here and how long had she been here?

Ronnie pumped harder, feeling herself going higher and higher. "Oh how I love swings!" she said chuckling. "So what year are you in, Isaac?" she asked as she stopped pumping for a bit, letting the swing go back and forth.

After a while of swinging, she thought about what it'd be like if she just....lept out of the swing. Now that was quite tempting. She looked around, making sure the area in front of her was safe enough to leap out of a swing and crash onto. Hmm....it looked good enough to her! Okay.

"I'M BATMAAAAAAAAN!" she cried before leaping out of the swings and waving her arms while she flew through the air for a few seconds, before crashing to the ground.

She slowly stood up and brushed some dirt off of her. The only injury was a little bruise on her elbow. And it didn't hurt at all, so mission complete. She chuckled and ran back to Isaac. "Did ya see me...fly?!" she asked chuckling.

Theodore eventually sat up, his face covered in mud and a slight bump starting to form on his forehead. "Oh, I'm fine. That was nothing." But his insides were CRYINGGGGGGGG. Literally.

Amazing Theo? Even though he hated being called Theo, the boy shrugged, "That kinda fits me perfectly." He beamed.

"Sooo.... are we PALS now?" Are they putting the almost-food-fight incident behind them?

Mika didn't notice how much pain Theodore really was in. She just knew fly-falling from swings wasn't fun. It almost always lead to having trouble breathing or that super bad bleeding thingy.

Super bad bleeding wasn't good. Nope. It could be lethal.

Or was it fatal? She shrugged her shoulder. "Yeah...but I like the name Theodore more...so Amazing Theodore then" she didn't like Theo it sounded like Leo - and leo was lion and Theodore wasn't a lion...he was an EPIC snake guy...see. She had a point.

"Pals - sure..." she smiled over to him beamed more like it. She was happy to have friends - she liked friends friends were good. Friends were amazing really.

Minerva sighed this was so complicated. She liked Damon and now she could be with him, but she knew there was something more then just cousin's going on with Taylor. "Well even so if there is something more, you need to figure it out before more feelings are hurt. How did you get the bruise?"

Tay shook her head, "There is nothing more, Mins. We are cousins period. We arent friends anymore even....." Taylor sighed. She looked slightly confused. "What... oh the bruise.... I fell....." Taylor grimaced.

Minerva sighed "Taylor your friends still unless you don't want to be friends, is that what you want?" Maybe she was wrong, maybe Taylor was that upset. "How did you fall?"

Tay shook her head, "No i still want to be friends with him but he doesnt." She sighed, "We are to be only cousins...." Taylor grimaced. "Oh i was turning and trying to get away from someone... its no big deal...." She sighed again.

Minerva wasn't buying it "Taylor what happened, who were you trying to get away from?" she was beginning to get a little frustrated. "Taylor he's feeling awkward around you. He just put his heart on his sleeve and you turned him down. Anyone is going to play the avoidance game for awhile, like I said give it time you both will be fine."

Tay looked at her and truthfully said, "I was trying to get away from Damon and i fell." She sighed, "I know i know and i feel bad for turning him down but what else was i suppose to do? I'm dating someone and you like him!" Taylor frowned. "He told be both at the garden and at the williow that we should be only cousins....."

Minerva sighed and hugged Taylor. "Tay he's hurt, you have to understand that. He is hurting, yes I do like him and yes you have Maxwell, but that doesn't make it any easier for him. He will get through this and then you will see cousins will move back to best friends." she gave her a reassuring smile. Then she pulled away from the hug and looked at her "So you heard everything in the dungeons last night?" she felt herself blush a bit.." I thought someone was watching us."

Tay nodded, "I know he is..." She sighed, "I doubt that we will ever be best friends again, Min." Taylor grimaced then shook her head, "No not everything. I only heard about to the point of you comforting him saying that Sage found love or something...." Tay shrugged. "I really didnt mean to."

Minerva smiled a bit "Well hopefully you will be." she wasn't sure whether or not to tell Taylor, but she was her best girl friend, right? "Tay, then you didn't hear everything. Damon and I have decided to see where our feelings go." she couldn't help but smile a bit. "I know he's not over you and I know I'm taking a big chance to getting hurt, but I had to. I like him so much."

Tay laughed, "You said it in more words than him." She gave a half smile to her friend, "I already know you two are dating. He told me already and i said congrats. So congrats, Min." Taylor gave a full smile now, "Let's just hope it works out."

Grinning as she just kept getting higher and higher, he just kept pumping his legs to keep himself going, but not pushing to go higher. "I'm a sixth year." he replied to her question, "How about ye?" He knew he was older, but wasn't all that great of judge of age, so figured she wasn't a firstie nor probably a second year either, but who knew!

Watching as she leaped from the swing crying out she was batman before crashing to the ground, he dropped his legs dragging them right at that moment, "Ronnie!" he gasped out.

She arrived as soon as he got off his swing, asking if he'd seen her fly. "Merlin..." he murmured. "There's uhh...safer ways te fly. Like on a broom?" he said with wide eyes. "Are ye hurt?"

Minerva smiled "Thanks, but I am still here to help both of you. I want us all to be friends just like before and I know it will happen at some point."

She nodded, "I dont Maxwell would agree. He hates Damon." Tay sighed.

Minerva sighed "Taylor, Maxwell told me himself once if Damon didn't like you the way he did that Maxwell could get along with Damon. So when things settle and Maxwell knows that Damon and I are dating, it would be okay for us all to hang out again."
