Damon shook his head, "I don't think it is at all." He sighed, "Because I am too. I have Min... And she's the only other person I dated besides Ari... Which we all know that I haven't talked to her in months..."

Tay laughed and smiled, "Okay." She pulled Max into the hug as well.

If the Great Hall seems to look different tonight, that's because it is. Instead of being filled with House tables and benches, or fake snow and a Prefect's event, the entire hall is now empty and bathed in a silverly moonlight.

The light falls on rows and rows of plush purple sleeping bags. It appears as those this will be your resting quarters for a while, kids!

Alright, so here was the Great Hall. There was lots of food all around on the tables, so now...how were they gonna decide what to get? All of it looked so good. And which tables should they take food from? The Gryffindor and Slytherin tables, since those were their houses', or from the other houses' tables? Hmm...

"So what stuff do you wanna get?" Shame they couldn't get ALL of it, really. Unless West had one of those extendable charms or whatever they were called on his backpack? Then they could just hang out at the pitch all day without having to go back for more food or anything. Heh.

"Well." What stuff. Hmmmm. West eyed the table and unzipped his bag at teh same time. "Some sandwiches, some fruit probably, ummmm chicken! Cauldron cakes, bread rolls," He started assembling said food. "What do you want to put in? Anything you like."

Drinks too. They'd need drinks on account of flying could be tiring and make you thirsty. Butterbeer? He grabbed a few of those and held them up. Yes? Or maybe she liked pumpkin juice more?

"What about pumpkin pa-AAAAAA--aaaaaAAA--squeak--aaa-sstties?" West's eyes went wide and he flushed. COUGHcough. His voiiiiiiice. Maybe Loppy didn't notice?

Harvey entered the Great Hall, he looked around at the sleeping areas that had now been there for some time. This was their makeshift common room which he kinda didnt mind really, that way he could see a certain girl right upto the second of the time that they had to part. He could also wave across the hall to her.. without getting caught.. which was kinda awesome in his eyes. No need to have walls separating them.. just have professors around making sure they didnt do anything more than wave at each other, while also pretending to sleep as they thought of each other.

Taylor sighed, braiding her hair when she noticed Harvey. She waved slightly then looked back down. She finished her braid then started to write a letter to her boyfriend but instead of writing, she started to doodle. Tay started to hum and sing while doodling on the parchment. She havent seen Harvey in a long time despite being in the same house.

Harvey looked around when he saw Taylor braiding her hair, when she looked at him she waved to him and he waved back before she seemed to be writing something on a piece of parchment. So he went over to her "Hey Taylor.. long time no see.. how you been? what you been upto?" he asked her wondering what was new or even old news that he might not have heard yet since he had been busy with other things. But he was here now and ready to listen thats for sure!

Taylor smiled at him, "I'm good and you? Ummm nothing much... I was just trying to write to my boyfriend, but i guess I just decided to draw." She gestured to the picture and sighed. "What about you?" Tay looked up at him, "I missed you, bro." Taylor laughed and patted the seat next to her.

He smiled as she said that she was good "I am good too.. glad to hear you are good" he smiled a little more.. before looking at her curiously "Your.. boyfriend? who is this boyfriend that you have to write to instead of just talking to them?" he asked her as he nodded when she said that she had decided to draw "Well you do draw well so thats pretty cool" he said to her "Oh nothing much just hanging out here and there" he said to her as she said that she missed him "Missed me? well I was only an owl away." he chuckled as he sat down next to her

Taylor smiled and laughed, "His name is Brodie Livingston." She sighed, happily. "He is simply amazing." She doodled some more and then blushed at his compliment, "Thanks, Harvs." She laughed and nodded, looking at him, "Yes, missed you and i know, i know." She hugged him and kissed his cheek.

He looked at her curiously as she laughed at his question, he then frowned a little as he tried to remember where he had heard that name from "Brodie... Brodie.. Bro.. Brodie.. I think Damon mentioned him to me.. wasnt he the one that ... Since when has he been your boyfriend?" he questioned her to see if the connection that was in his mind was correct. He smiled as she blushed at his compliment on her drawing "No worries" he smiled as she laughed.. it was good to see her laughing again. It was then his turn to chuckle as she acknowledged that he was no that far away if she was missing him, she then hugged him and kissed him on his cheek as was her usual custom when greeting Harvey "So thats all you have been doing? writing letters to a boy that I have not met yet?" he chuckled at that line as he asked it

"He asked me at the three broomsticks the last weekend that we went." She smiled and twisted a curl around her finger. Tay laughed, "Okay." She giggled some more, "Yeah, basicially." Taylor sighed in happiness, "He is truely amazing...." She went to playing with her necklace, "But Max is mad at me..." Tay frowned.

Harvey listened as she answered his question about Brodie "Ah ok I see.. and how comes I have not met him yet?" he asked now acting like a protective 'brother' he watched as she curled her hair around her finger like she usually did. She seemed happy with this guy.. not as happy as he was with Ella.. but probably getting there "Whats so amazing about him?" he asked still trying to get his head around the fact that she had a new boyfriend now that was not any of the two boys he knew. He watched her play with her necklace "Why is he mad at you?" wanting to know the reason behind him being mad with her

Tay shrugged, "You havent hung with me for a bit and he is homeschooled so he isnt here but he is coming in 6th year." She sang a little and hugged him again, "He is sweet and nice. He makes me feel like special." Taylor sighed, "Max doesnt like Brodie... and I think Damon doesnt like him as well but Damon doesnt matter one bit to me anymore."

Harvey nodded.. it was true they hadnt hung out for a long time "Ah I see.. that is true that we havent hung out" maybe he should have, maybe Minnie was right.. maybe he should balance his time between Ella and his friends.. that way he wouldnt miss things like this "Ah right! sixth year..I see" he was sure that he would meet the boy before then but it didnt hurt to know when he was coming here as a student. He smiled as she hugged him again and explained to him why Brodie was amazing.. basically the way Ella described him sometimes "Ah I see.. well he does sound.. like a good guy" he said trying not to sound like he was judging the boy befre meeting him. He listened to the next part as well "Why doesnt Max like him? You two still not ok with each other? you two are best friends.. " he said wondering why they were no ok with each other any more

Tay smiled and nodded, "Yeah we haven't." She nodded again, "Yeah, sixth year." Taylor sighed, happily. "He is a good guy... I hope when you meet him that you wont judge as quickly as Max and Damon did..." Tay frowned slightly, "Max thinks he is a liar and a gold digger. I dont know anymore... he just seems... argh." She wrinkled her nose then frowned, looking away.

Penelope nodded along at all the food he was grabbing as she eyed the other stuff that was also on the table. What else did she want to put in? "Bacon," she said, grabbing a big handful as she spoke. "Toast." Several slices, definitely. "Sausage." Hmm. Anything else? Butter for the toast maybe? That might be too messy though... She glanced down the table to see if there was anything else they could put in the backpack and noticed he'd grabbed some of the bottles of butterbeer. Ohh, yes, that was good too. She nodded at those and then turned her attention back to the food-

-until his voice suddenly got....well, she wasn't really sure. What had happened? She blinked, looking back over at him as he coughed. "You okay?" she asked. Though....what was it he had said? Pumpkin......pa....pas....pasties? She grabbed one of those and offered it to him. Maybe it'd make him feel better...?

Bacon was good. Toast. Sausage. Meat in general was ALL good. Yes. West approved.

But waaaaaaaaah she noticed! Act cool, West!

"I'm fine." Paaaause. He seemed alright. His voice was behaving. Errr. "I'm fine. Just... a fr-*splurt*-og in my throat." He flushed a bit and rubbed at his hair then reached out and took the pumpkin pastie. Err. Yep. That went in the bag and he continued to act like nothing weird had happened.

He held the backpack open for the last of it. Breakfast on the pitch? WAS GONNA BE AWESOME.

"Do you think we have enough?"

He was fine? Well, he did seem to be. He was still standing and talking and all that, so that was good. A frog in his throat though? "Chocolate frog?" Speaking of which...should they get any of those? They did have a lot of food already, but she wasn't one to say no to more food. Especially not today, when it would just mean they could stay on the pitch longer since they wouldn't have to come back to the Great Hall to eat for awhile.

Penelope decided to grab a few Chocolate Frogs anyway and tossed them into the open backpack then nodded. "Yeah, that should be good for awhile." They'd gotten most of the stuff on the table that she thought it was okay for them to take anyway. The rest of the food probably wouldn't be good to eat on the pitch.

"Probably. I DO eat a lot of those." Not that you'd tell from looking. West was sort of one of those extreme metabolism, always skinny types. One day he'd be strong and muscled like his dad though, he was sure of it. One day. And then he could fight crime and dig up old tombs too.

He nodded his approval at the addition of the frogs and then zipped up the bag. "I think we're good." They were READY. "Lets GO!" It was gonna be AWESOME. He hefted the bag over his shoulders and led the way.

Penelope nodded. So everything was okay, and it was good that she'd added in the Chocolate Frogs. Maybe it was good that his voice had gone all weird because she might not have thought about adding them, what with being distracted by all the food they already had gathered.

So now they were done and ready to head down to the pitch! Penelope grinned and followed after him...though not before snatching a couple more slices of toast from the table. Hey, she was hungry, and there was no harm in eating on the way, right? She was going to give him the second slice anyway if he wanted it, so she wouldn't be hogging all the food at least.

Tay was sitting on the ground, leaning against the wall. She was a little on the thin side... even though she was always thin, she was a little thinner. Taylor had make-up covering her pale and tired looking face.

Damon walked through the corridor, seeing Taylor sitting there, looking ill... It made him worry, but she said she couldn't talk to him anymore... He wasn't going to force her to.

Tay coughed and looked at her book again, not seeing Damon. Taylor started to braid her hair. She felt safe when she was reading.
