Taylor was finally better and not sick... too bad it was the end of term though. She wandered down to the ravenclaw table. Tay havent seen any of her friends in a while but she didnt feel like moving around much since she was just getting better.

Harvey walked down to the Great Hall for the end of term feast, he couldnt believe it! He was at the end of his fourth year already!! This term had passed by way too quickly.. and it was cause of the work and .. well spending time with Ella too.. but still it could have passed by a little slower at least. He looked over at the claw table and headed over there as he had seen Taylor sat there alone "Hey Taylor" he said to her smiling "How are you?" he asked her next

Taylor smiled at him as he came over, "Wanna join me, bro?" She laughed, "Finally got to get out of bed after being so sick." Tay giggled and smiled, "What about you?"

He smiled and nodded "Yeah sure!" he said sitting down next to her "You were sick? with what?" he asked having not seen her in a while "I have been.. good.. just cant believe fourth year is over really, it went by so fast!" he said to her as he looked around the room.. not knowing how to process that small piece of information.. fourth year was over

Taylor nodded, "Just a cold." She laughed and laid her head on his shoulder, not caring if people misunderstood. "I hate Maxwell." Tay started to cry and look up at Harvey. "He is just a jerkface!" Taylor buried her head in Harvey's shoulder.

He smiled as she laughed "Well I am glad you are better now" he said to her before she leaned her head on his shoulder, thats ok.. thats ok.. Minnie used to do that all the time.. as well as some other girls.. its all good.. he then looked at her as she started to cry before she buried her head in his shoulder.. still friendly.. still friendly.. "Umm.. what did he do?" he asked trying to pay attention to her rather than what she was doing.. but he knew that it was in a friendly way and it would have to stay that way.

Vivi couldn't stand the long faces in the common room, and she didn't think she should be allowed alone in the dorm with Louisa under the circumstances, and so she escaped as early as possible to the End of Term feast. The Ravenclaw table was still fairly empty as she took a seat near the front of the Great Hall, but she saved the spot next to her by putting a napkin on the bench.

Just in case.

Tay looked up at him, "He is saying he had enough of me and that my boyfriend is a fraud!" Taylor cried and buried her face again, clinging to him in a sisterly way. There was no romance between them whatsoever.

He looked at Taylor as she looked at him before she started crying again clinging to him.. it was in a sisterly way.. nothing more.. thats right nothing more. "Oh.. well er.. did he say why your boyfriend was a fraud? And er.. what did he mean when he said he'd had enough of you?" he asked trying to get a clearer picture of what was happening

Tay glanced up at Harvey, "He says he is faking a scottish accent, that he poisoned me and he is a gold digger." Tears were trailing down her cheeks, "We got into a fight about our parents..."

Was it really the end of term already? The year seemed to just fly by..

Ethan found himself at the end of term feast rather early.. mostly for the fact that he was hungry, not that he was in any hurry to leave. He was really torn about leaving. He knew there would be people he'd miss seeing, some more than others, but he was also happy for school to be over and summer to begin.

Making his way over to the Ravenclaw table, he saw very few people there and chose a seat near two people he knew - Harvey and Taylor. "Hey, guys.." the boy greeted them tentatively as he lowered himself on the bench. The girl looked really upset, so he discreetly averted his eyes as he awkwardly sat at the table. Food would be nice right about now..

Taylor glanced up from Harvey to Ethan. She sniffed a little and wiped her eyes, "Hey, Ethan..." She sighed and reburied her face into Harvey's shoulder. Tay was purely acting sisterly.

He looked down at her as she answered his questions "And... er.. did he say how he knew this? " or was Maxwell becoming too protective of Taylor.. he then heard what he wasnt expecting to hear "What do you mean you got into a fight about them?" what did that mean? lots of ideas flew around his head as he tried to figure out what that meant.. he then heard her say hi to Ethan before buring her face again into his shoulder.. ok. Ethan.. this is all friendly.. just dont.. freak out.. ok man? he thought to himself.. since he didnt want a repeat of what had happened before.. he would just tell people it was as friends.. she was very very upset again.. and Ethan was here.. he could tell them.. that Taylor was upset and he was comforting her. Ethan .. just a friend comforting another.. ok?



Just then he heard someone greet them.. he looked round and smiled "Hey Ethan" he was actually surprised to see the boy here.. he should be sat at the puff table! Maybe Harvey would need to teach him a thing or two about hanging out at the puff table.. cause Harvey was a pro at it.. he couldnt remember a single feast whether it was beginning of term or end of term where he DIDNT sit at the puff table.. Ethan you shouldnt be here.. be with Mins at the table.....

Although he was quite down about the idea of leaving, Max was... kind of excited for the feast. He had one last hoorah with the whole school - and his Ravenclaws. In particular, he hoped he was going to get to sit with his yearmates... but he had finally caught on to the tension between Vivi, Vickers, and Louisa. He wouldn't be surprised if the couple sat elsewhere. That was okay, though - he wanted to sit with Vivi for this anyhow. He give his proper mushy spiels and farewells to the other two later.

Entering the Great Hall with a blue box in his hand, Max held it right out in front of him as there was no need to hide it from Vivi. He didn't have a big speech prepared upon presenting it to her; he just wanted to make sure she had it before the Headmistress started her speech and they shared one last feast together.

...And hopefully before Em could get there and see the exchange. He didn't have a guilty conscience over the upcoming gift giving, though he knew Em wouldn't like it if she knew. But his girlfriend's jealousy wasn't going to stop Max from presenting a kind gesture to one of his best friends - girl or not.

Upon nearing Vivi at the Ravenclaw table, a smile played upon Max's lips; he peered down at the napkin resting on the bench next to her. Aw. Had she really saved that spot for him? Or... was the other side for him and the saved napkin seat was for someone more important?

"Is the napkin for me?" He put her on the spot and grinned.

Tay glanced up at him, "No he didnt. He just says that when i find out and get my heart broken to not come crying to him since he told me so." She whimpered and looked at Harvey with sadness in her eyes. "His father cheated on my mom and now the one he cheated on her with is pregnant and my mom kinda have to take care of the stupid thing." Yeah she aint calling that home wrecker's baby a 'him' it was a thing.

Harvey listened as she answered his questions again "Hmm well.. have you tried to find out if there is any truth in what he is saying.. maybe ask a friend of your boyfriends or something?" he wondered cause that could show her a different view, he was then hearing something he didnt expect to hear "Umm.. I see.. the baby's mom.. doesnt wanna take care of it?" cause usually the mom took care of the babies right.. unless she wanted the father to take it.. and in this case it did seem that way. He wondered how long this must have been going on for that woman to end up with a baby, unless this .. was a fluke and happened.. hmmm..

Taylor sighed, "Damon told me to ask Brodie to take a truth serum so that I can hear the truth from Brodie himself but wouldnt that just get him upset at me?" Tay glanced up at him and whimpered a little. To the baby thing, "Jack doenst want the thing's homewrecker of a mom to take care of him because the homewrecker slipped Jack a potion apparently." Tay rolled her eyes.

He nodded as she again answered his questions "Well.. it might.. but if he truly likes you and has nothing to hide then he would go with it.. I mean I would do that for Ella if she wanted me to" cause he didnt want to lose her, he had been close once and it was enough to open his eyes a bit. He listened as she talked about that baby "A potion? like a love potion?" okay.. so this was not a thing going on for some time.. this lady.. slipped him a potion.. man he had to be careful.. he hoped that wouldnt happen to him ever!

This was the worst day of the year. Or so Lily thought. She had avoided the common room for hours, instead weeping as she sat on her bed in her dorm room. She knew that the feast was going to start somewhat soon, so she had trooped out of the Ravenclaw tower wearing her best uniform. She still continued to sob as she made her way down to the great hall and her face was clearly tear stricken as she made her way down to the Claw's table. Louisa wasn't there yet, which was somewhat of a good thing. But Max and Vivi were there so the third year made her way down towards them.

"Max...." Sob... "I'm gonna miss you on the quidditch p..pitch..." Said the young redhead to the seventh year keeper who she didn't know all that well.

"It...it was nice knowing you, Vivi...." She said to the female claw, before sobbing more. Who knew what was going to happen when Vickers and Louisa made their way down.

Turning away from the seventh years, Lily walked down to an empty part of the table and simply lay her head down as more tears rolled down her face. She needed Louisa here, but also didn't want to let her older claw friend leave. So for now the third year just sat there crying.

Tay nodded, "Okay... you miht be right... I mean you are a good boyfriend it seems to perhaps all good boyfriends would?" She blinked and bit her lip, thinking about what Brodie might say to a truth serum. To the other thing, "No, not like a love one." Taylor shook her head, "More of one to make you forget... he cheated on mother for a whole month at least..." Tay glanced up, "Hey Lily!" Taylor waved to her friend.

She had her chin propped up on her fist as her eyes watched the banner above them, and Vivi almost missed the sweet little voice coming from Lily. Yikes, so many TEARS! The older girl reached out and patted the girl's hand.

"It was nice meeting you, Lily. Good luck next year, and... let's keep winning the cup, yeah? We're counting on you."

"Is the napkin for me?" He put her on the spot and grinned.

She snatched the napkin up in relief and gestured for Max to sit as soon as she spotted the boy. "Sit, sit... who else would I save a seat for? One of my many and adoring public?" She gestured to the empty seats all around her.

Someone had NOT done their best getting to know the other Claws.

"I'm glad you asked to sit with me, Max. It'll be good to have a friend through all this, and not someone who will use my sleeve as a tissue. Everyone is so emotional, aren't they? Is this normal?"

He smiled and nodded "Well I do try to be a good boyfriend, and yes if he was a good boyfriend and cared about how you felt.. then yes he would as I would" he said knowing that he had nothing to hide from Ella.. and if this boyfriend of Taylors had nothing to hide either then he too would agree to a serum. He raised his eyebrows at what she said "A forgetting one? Ohh a month? so what did it like wear off after a whole month?" he asked as she said hi to someone named Lily he looked round and he too greeted her "Hi" he smiled at his housemate, though they hadnt hung out much but still it was rude not to say hi

Taylor smiled, "You probably are right." She nodded and laughed, "You are so smart, bro!" Tay hugged him and kissed his cheek, "Thanks." Taylor laughed then frowned, going back to the Jack thing. "Yeah, forgetting." She shook her head, "No... Mom kissed him and apparently their love is so true and blah blah blah." Tay rolled her eyes.

This is it no backing out now...

Vickers heart was pounding. He couldnt seem to figure himself out about this. Was he angry? Frightened? Panicked? All of it? One thing was certain, he needed to talk to Vivi.... and he needed to give her something. Something he worked so hard for that for once, he wasnt caring about what she says and what she thinks. If she doesnt want to talk to him for a while or forever, all the more reason why he should give his gift today.

He spotted her talking to Max and Lily. He would've preferred something more private but hey, with the other option of her bolting he'd take what he can get, flying fists included.

So he plopped himself right.next.to.her, then grabbed her hand and plopped THIS onto her open palm "If you have no kind words to me, at least open that and hear me out..." he whispered to her, seemingly all casual-like, but the look in his eyes says he meant business. No running out on him Genevieve Branxton.
