Taylor sighed and closed her eyes, leaning her head back. She smirked, happy to have the girl away. Tay just wanted to take a breather and get rid of the dang headache. Taylor covered her eyes.

After spending the past little while hiding out by himself, Patrick decided that perhaps taking advantage of the fact there was an escape from Hogwarts was definitely a good idea and it would have at least given him the opportunity to head to Honeyduke's to pick up some different candy since chocolate had become boring after awhile which usually wouldn't have been the case but after certain events had gone on; there was a need for something different. Now let's try not to do silly things that'll make the situation worse, like what had happened at the Lake a couple weeks ago. He didn't want to go through that issue again since it was plenty confusing but hopefully it was all going to be figured out in time since he hadn't liked staying away from Kendall when she was one of the only people that he really enjoyed talking to. Heading into the village, he pocketed his hands and just walked around while he had waited for his friend or whatever they were to arrive since he wasn't exactly willing to just be around by himself anymore. The superhero was going to be back hanging out with his sidekick and all was going to be right in the world once again.

Annabelle jumped when she was tapped on the shoulder. Belle saw the girl who introduced herself as Lilly. She heard her situation and stood there wide eyed. "Oh of course i can help. Tell your friend to come over to me." Belle said and thinking of going to the hospital wing. "Oh i will come up with something for not telling her we are going to the hospital wing. Trust me." she whispered with a wink and held her hands. "Now go get your friend Taylor and i will bring her up." Belle instructed Lilly.

Oh goodie...this prefect would help Lily get Taylor up to the hospital wing to fix the memory problem. The third year smiled in gratitude up at the prefect before taking her hand and leading the puff over to Taylor, who seemed to have a pretty bad headache. Once the third year and the prefect were standing in front of Taylor, Lily spoke. "Um... Tay. Um... I just wanted to introduce you to one of Hogwarts leaders. This is the Hufflepuff prefect.... um, I didn't catch your name..." Lily said, first talking to Tay before turning to the prefect to ask about her name and to kinda cue the prefect to take over and somehow get Taylor to the healer.

Tay smiled at the hufflepuff, "I'm Taylor McIntyre, fourth year Ravenclaw and you?" She glanced innocently at the leader as she pulled a bandana around her hair to have a simple hairdo.

As Jory and Ari walked along the Main Street, he played back in his head what had happened on the Pathways a few hours earlier. He had not been surprised by the kiss. He had wanted to kiss Ari first but he wasn't sure if she would think he was moving too fast. He had never the less returned the kiss, still holding onto her soft hands. And when she had pulled back, he returned her smile. "Very believable, Ariadne Lydia Marchbanks,'' he had replied still feeling as if he had never been more happy in his life and now realising that all the nervous feeling he had a minute before had vanished. He felt that all this happiness made up for the hurt he had been feeling since before he came back to Hogwarts caused by his sister.

"Definitely,'' Jory had replied smiling again at Ari's eager face. "I'm sure everything will work out well, don't you?'' He was confident about that. They both liked each other very much, after all.

Their hands occasionally bumped against each other's as they walked. "You look very nice,'' he told Ari. Her hair was different and it made her look more innocent than ever. He hoped he looked alright. He was was wearing his usual blue jeans along with a green and white Tee shirt and white sneakers. And he had very carefully combed his hair today. This was his first date and he wasn't sure how to dress. His nervousness had returned while he dressed but now that he was with Ari it had vanished again.

"What would Gwen think, now that we're together?'' Jory wondered aloud as his and Ari's hands bumped together again. This time her held her hand and just then he spotted Madam Puddifoot's tea shop. He pointed with his other hand. "How about I take my lucky lady there for our first date?''

Kendall hadn't been intending on going into Hogsmeade. She'd planned on just holing herself up in the dorm with Accio, trying to figure out how to make things better with everything. She'd talked to Beezus about it, and she'd talked to Patrick, but that hadn't really helped her figure out her own thoughts. She'd found out that her friend was really honest, and that what had happened at the lake hadn't exactly been changed since then. But it hadn't really gotten her own mind settled on answers, other than lesson stuff which didn't count right now, and she wanted him back. She missed him, and that had actually helped so much more than the help of her friend and fellow fourth-year Claw. Of course, she still needed to find him again, but right now she'd just planned on talking things out with Accio. At least her kitty wouldn't judge her. At least, that had been the plan until Orion had shown up with a message from Patrick, asking her if she wanted to meet him in Hogsmeade.

Part of her had been tempted to send a message with his owl saying she wanted to stay at the castle, but enough of her knew that would have meant she'd been doing the same thing she'd yelled at him about if she did. So instead she slipped a pair of combat boots on and headed out of the dorm after scratching Accio's head once more. "Things're gonna be okay, Accio," she assured the orange tabby, and therefore herself. At least her sweatshirt kept her reasonably warm on the walk down the road, and she even managed a bit of her old grin as she saw Patrick waiting there on the main street, pacing a little. He wasn't staring off into space, which she really hadn't liked the last time she'd seen him. "Hi," she said simply, walking up to him. Maybe acting normal would make things easier.

As he kept walking around in a single path back and forth, Patrick couldn't help but start to wonder if Kendall was going to actually show up since there was a lot that he had wanted to say to her but it wouldn't have been able to happen if she decided to not come; then he would have just wandered off by himself to Honeyduke's which definitely was not going to be as much fun as it could have been. Okay stop this right now, you're being ridiculous; she's going to show up and you're going to explain yourself and things will be okay. The friendship will be intact and that's all that matters at this point. The social commentary was right, he took a deep breath and just calmed himself down since there really wasn't a need for this stupidity because it would have potentially made anything that he wanted to say disappear; probably would have ended up turning into something that could have made everything worse than it already was. Once he saw her walking into the village, he stopped walking and just stood in one place for now; they'd been heading down the street soon enough but first he had wanted to get out what he wanted to say. "Hey, I'm glad you decided to come." he said before smiling a little bit at her, it wasn't easy to smile when there was just so many questions on his mind that had needed answers to.

"Listen, I want to apologize for everything. I know that things haven't been easy for either of us since...." His voice trailed off for a few moments as he considered where to go next with it considering he was carefully choosing his words as to just make things somewhat easier for them to deal with. "But, hiding away and everything like that is completely inexcusable; I mean I wasn't being fair to you and that had just sorta gone against everything that I told you already which I still mean but.. I um.. I guess what I'm trying to say is that I just don't want you to think that there was any intentions of trying to forget what had happened even if we're no closer to actually figuring out what's going on between us though I hope we can get there since all this confusion is just starting to drive me a bit up the wall. I don't want to stop being your friend even if I feel more than that for you, cause that wouldn't be good." Well that was far more than he originally had wanted to say but once he got started talking, it seemed like he couldn't stop until he temporarily ran out of things to say which was good because it prevented him from going off into nonsense.

Belle smiled at Taylor and introduced herself. She didn't want Taylor to think she was a stranger. "I am Annabelle but you can call me Belle for short." she said and she didn't want to waste more time. She wanted to get Taylor some help as soon as possible.

Belle smiled at Taylor. "Hi Taylor, i am Belle Lecium and i am a 6th year. I am a hufflepuff prefect and i am here to help you with your problem. Youre friend Lilly tells me you hit your head." Belle said nice and calmly. She could see some of the blood on her already. "Do you wanna come with me and i can lead you somewhere where you can get some help?" Belle asked sincerely.

This was SO much better this year. This whole place, that is. She had someone to meet with and enjoy the time TOGETHER. It was almost giddy!making stuff, it was. Addy paused, huge smile on her face, and actually spun on the spot, arms out to the sides. Giving an erruption of giggles she smoothed her hair down and began walking once more, a little pep in her step.

She had to get to the Three Broomsticks and meet Lexi and her friend Orlando. Which was AWESOME. BUT, she had to find Nathan as well. HEHEHEH.

Ariana stood in the street leaning against a shop she didnt know what to do in hogsmeade anymore, she had alrea done everything she wanted to. She could just go back to the school, but she knew that the roster list for quidditch would be going up and if it was up already she wasnt ready to face it. ehh she'd just stand here, maybe someone would talk to her or maybe she'd just find someone to mess with.. or Gossip.. she did love to eavesdrop and get gossip, that always satisfied her. So, she'd stay here, and listen.

Theo yawned, even though walking through a busy street like this certainly kept him on his toes! Theo liked Hogsmeade, and kind of wanted to live here. Would they let him bring his entire muggle family to a wizarding village? Possibly not, but maybe he's just come without them. They sucked anyways.

He stopped to do up his shoe laces, then spotted a familiar girl standing along the way. Or SMELLED a familiar girl.

She was smelly.

"Whatchu lookin' at?" He said, frowning as he stood back up.

Ariana looked down at the voice.. more like pest.. as she saw it was kinsley "i wasnt looking at anything but now im looking at a pest." she noted as he tied his shoe.. before realizing she probably shouldnt be mean if she like to stay conscious anyway.. if she made the team anyway she could just be asking for it "I mean hey."

Theo should have expected that backlash, so he just shrugged it off. It's not like the words of Ariana Logan were going to bother him much. "Why are you just standing there watching people?" It was kind of freaky. But she was freaky, sooooo....

Hey? Really?

"Umm... hi." He tried that. Yeah.

Tay glanced at the prefect and sighed, "There is nothing to worry about." She forced out a laugh, "I just am clumsy. I really am fine." Okay, that was a lie but still... Taylor glanced at the girl who apparently was her friend Lily, "I promise... Lily." She smiled sweetly.

"who said i was watching people?" she questioned him. why did everyone questioned her.. was she that suspicious.. maybe she should just be a spy or something since everyone thought she was always creeping around and being freaky. though she was just watching "I'm Observing."

Harvey and Ella walked out of the candy shop and into the main street, he had the biggest smile on his face he still could not believe what had happened inside. But it was true and it had happened, and they were both happy about it. He could not have asked for a better outcome, cause there was none better than this, this was the absolute best! He looked at Ella not letting go of her hand "I guess this it now, now we just tell people who ask. Though we have to tell Mins I know she will be dying to know what you said though she probably already guessed it, but no harm in telling her ourselves right? " he asked her as he quickly looked around to see if there was anyone they knew that could question them before they told Mins, bu no there didn't seem to be. So they started their walk hand in hand, just like she had probably wanted for a long time it was hpjust him that had been slow in realising it. But now they both knew the truth and soon so would man others.

Cora skipped happily along. Her fourth year had started off great, with the exception of a few...incidents. She twirled her curly brown hair as she walked, an act usually reserved for when she was nervous or scared. Now she was neither, and she realized she had developed a small habit.

Cora's eyes sparkled at the shops and all the magical things in the windows. She was happy just wandering around, though, not looking for anything in particular. I wonder who I'll meet here, she thought to herself. EVERYTHING was better with company.

Humming to herself, she did not even notice the shop sign propped up in the path in front of her. Tripping over the heavy sign, she dropped all her things onto the ground. Sighing, Cora wondered why she had to be so clumsy, and went to pick up her things. "At least I LOOK like a second year," Cora thought. Her small size had one benefit: she would seem like a young second year being too clumsy, not a fourth year who should be better at these things.

She grabbed her things, but could not find her pink hat. This is turning into a regular occurrence. She looked around, wondering if anyone had seen it.

"Belle...kay..." They really didn't have all that much time to waste. So Belle was good enough for Lily. The third year listened and let the prefect and Taylor talk to see if if would be easy to get Tay up to the hospital wing. It didn't seem like it would be easy at all. "Taylor...and Belle, I assume you can come with us... why don't we head up to the school and take a tour or something... maybe go visit one of the professors... like maybe Professor Magnus." Right Belle? Maybe we can go and trick Taylor into stopping in at the hospital wing.... Hopefully...because Taylor definitely wasn't okay. "Will you do it for me Taylor... as your friend?"

Ella followed Harvey out of the shop and onto the street, her hand still in his. She was smiling stupidly and she just hoped her cheeks weren't as pink as they felt. Pull it together, Bishop. It's not as if you've never held anyone's hand before. Sheesh. "Oh...right. I kind of didn't think of that...the people asking, thing." She said seriously, wondering what the reaction was going to be. She knew how Minnie was going to react, though. Minnie had been wanting this for a while, yeah? "Course we'll tell Mins. I'll probably see her in the common room when I get back so I could um...tell her if you want." Oh...and there was just one small probably. Teeny really. And he was BIG and STRONG and Ella's Ogre. "Um...Harvs?" The third year said, stopping short suddenly. "I think maybe I should talk to Edric about um...us. He's not too happy with you...I don't think." Which was a bit of an understatement but Ella wasn't going to go into too many details unless questioned. Nope.

Taylor gave the girl a look, "Why do any of us need a tour of the school? I mean we all three go to Hogwarts." Tay rolled her eyes and laughed at the girl. Yeah, I am not going anywhere with that evil third year gal.

Belle didn't quite know what to believe at the moment. Belle sure knew that Taylor wasn't fine. That is usually the first sign. But she heard Lilly talking to her and decided not to say anything, not just yet.

Belle nodded at Lilly's request but deep down she knew Taylor might not go along with it.

Belle stepped in and said out of concern, "Taylor you hit your head hard, i can see the blood a little bit, why don't we get you check out. I do not want you to faint on the grounds or have wip lash. Now tell me, is your head throbbing or do you feel dizzy?" Belle asked her. She didn't want to bring her just yet, Belle didn't want to make a scene and she knew she couldn't force a fourth year to go with her. She was a grown up she knew that. "Or if you want an alternative, do you want me to walk up to your common room and you can rest your head for a little bit?" Belle suggested.

They probably looked kinda weird with the huge smiles on their faces but they couldn't help it! It wasn't their fault, ok so maybe it was but still you couldn't blame them! He nodded as she said that she didn't think of people asking questions "Well once they see this" he held up their hands holding each other "I think they are bound to ask questions. But we can answer them truthfully no need to hide our happiness" yeah they were happy and they were going to show it. He nodded as she talked about Minnie "Yeah you can tell her if you want since you are meeting up. Though I can imagine her coming to find me as well, but it's good that you will tell her" he said that way she would know anyways the big news.

He was walking along when he suddenly felt her stop and he looked at her a little concerned as she seemed to be a little worried about something "Yes Ella?" he questioned as she talked about talking to Edric, who was Edric? Oh yes Ella's friend. "He isn't too happy with me?" he thought about what she said before he walked towards Ella and stopped next to her and he whispered so that only she could hear him "You said some things about me right? Some things that he didnt like. Like how bad I was or something. Right?" he knew it was something like that, why else would he dislike Harvs. "Ok you tell him, it's best it comes from you then." last thing he needed was an angry guy coming over to him.

Ella giggled as Harvey thrust their hands in the air, feeling a bit like one of those muggle prize boxers when they won a match. "Yeah...you're right. I'm sure they'll want to know when this happened." She said thoughtfully looking from their hands to Harvs. "Yeah...yeah, I'll tell her if I see her but you're probably right. You're her best friend so I'm sure she'll want all the details from you." And she'd probably want to find him immediately after hearing the news, yeah?

Ella shook her head, frowning slightly. Nope. Edric was definitely not happy with Harvey. Squirm. The third year bit her lip nervously, not wanting to answer the question but knowing she had to. "I um...yeah. I mean I was pretty mad at you...before. And I just told him the truth but um...he could tell I was pretty upset...because of you, so..." Frown. And he wasn't really angry with her now, was he? Meh. "Yeah...yeah, I'll tell him and um Harvs? I'd avoid the lake when there aren't many people around...just as a precaution." And no, she wasn't kidding.

Tay nodded, "I prefer the common room if you dont mind." She smiled sweetly at them. "I mean since I dont want to bother the healer with a simple headache."
