Tay sighed and listen to Minerva, "Yeah, I am sick of it all too..." She frowned, "But would it ever change?" Taylor glanced down, "Ari is nice to me again after my mistake... Damon is still a jerk loke Max and Elliot... I doubt she will ever enter into our group... I mean Ari, you and I all seem to not like her... I dont know if Damon lies her or not so yeah..." Taylor shrugged and frowned.

Ella looked at Alec thoughtfully, biting her lip. Hmm. Who had come up with the nickname Pinky?! She honestly couldn't remember, though she was willing to take a guess. "I bet it was Hulk! She's quite good at giving out nicknames. She should have a nickname business or something." And how cool would that be, assigning nicknames all day long? It was definitely a job that would suit Alice perfectly. Oh! And he was glad she'd thought of the idea to investigate Messy? Grin. She was glad too. "It's cause I'm so curious ...it's really a problem sometimes." And she shrugged before smiling sheepishly at him. The third year simply nodded about Messy's strange secrecy. She was starting to think the boy was hiding more than pink tutus from his friends. Curious. Veryyy curious. She was still quite bouncy about the ninja topic and so she continued to grin excitedly, ideas swirling around in her head. "Yeah...yeah and they're super fast and sneaky. Just so cool." Really, they were.

The third year followed her friend's gaze to the castle, a small smile on her face. "You're right, we did pick the perfect spot!" Cause they had an awesome view of the castle and it looked quite like a snow fort right now, actually...which was helpful given the job they were trying to do. GRIN. "Yeah! A mini Hogwarts! The only way that could be cooler was if we were making it out of ice cream!" But then Ella would want to eat the fort instead of hang out inside of it, which seemed kind of counterproductive. The hair ruffling told Ella that Alec didn't really know how to start either, which was totally fine since she was brainstorming different ideas as well. She smiled encouragingly when he suggested they start off with a square, thinking that was quite a smart idea. "That's a great idea, Alec! We can...start with the outline of the square and continue piling snow up as high as we can. And then we can dig out the window and doors and stuff?" She hoped that made sense because she was quite set on getting started. Bounce. Bounce. Grin. "Well...lets get to work cause the sooner we finish, the sooner we get hot chocolate and gummy worms!" BEAM.

Hulk? Alec let out a small chuckle. He wouldn't be surprised if it actually was Alice who had come up with that perfect nickname. It sounded a lot like something Alice would come up with. "You know... I think you're right! It does sound like something she would come up with..." Heh. Pinky. And... here she was, coming up with another brilliant idea. Really... how did she do that? "Maybe she can do that as well as plan weddings!" GRIN. Because... Hulkasaurus HAD to work on wedding planning as well. They just had to. ... It was bad to be so curious? "I don't think it's a bad thing, Ells," he said, smiling at her, "I mean... this way... we get to find out a bit more about Messy!" And they should! That guy kept a lot to himself, sometimes. And other times, he shared a bit too much information. Like the fact that his special pillow was his long lost love and having an intimate snuggling session was perfectly normal behaviour. "Yeah! And... they're good at finding things!" Like Hufflepuffs! GRIN.

Alec nodded at the girl and grinned, glad that she was agreeing with him. "Well done on picking the spot, Ells!" Because... she was the one who was here first, wasn't she? So she picked the spot! So she should be complimented. YEAH! GRIN. ... Wait, did she just say... a fort made out of ice cream?! Alec GRINNED WIDELY. "Ells, that's AWESOME!" he said, still grinning, "And... and... and... we can have gummy worms in there as... as people!" And they'd have to ask the Charms Queen for a spell to make sure that the ice cream stays because, well, the girl knew everything about Charms! Oh, and Ells liked his idea? AWESOME. "Thanks!" he said, secretly proud of himself. In all honesty, it was the first idea to pop into his head so the fact that Ella thought it was a good one... was kind of lucky, right? What if the first idea to enter his mind was to chuck snowballs at the Whomping Willow? That wouldn't be too helpful. "Yeah! Yeah, that sounds like a great idea!" And... they should get started soon, yeah? "Awesome! And... erm... Ells? How big should it be?" They couldn't make one that was actually the size of Hogwarts. That was ridiculous.

Grin. So he agreed, yeah? That was good! Because really...Out of all of her friends, Hulk was the best at giving really great nicknames. It totally made sense that she'd be the one to come up with something as inspired as Pinky. The third year giggled when Alec suggested Alice create nicknames and plan weddings. "Yeah...we're already doing so well with the wedding planning business, can't stop now." And she smiled sheepishly, before giggling some more. She looked at her fellow badger thoughtfully when he spoke next, nodding her head. "Yeah...yeah, I guess it isn't so bad. I mean if we know more about Messy we'll know how to cheer him up and make him smile and stuff." And that just couldn't be bad. Grin. "They totally are good at like...everything. I wish I was." Ella was only good at eating large quantities of food and saying awkward things...OH! And judging hair, she was good at that too.

"Oh well I just kinda...danced over to it." Grin. So it was more her feet that deserved the credit. "Thanks, though!" Because it was nice of him to compliment her and it made her feel quite...special or fuzzy or something. And the way the Hair Whipper was grinning at her? It instantly brought a smile to her face. She laughed at his excitement, bouncing up and down a bit as she got more excited too. "Thanks! And yeah...yeah! That's brilliant! Gummy worm people! ...How cool." Ice cream forts and gummy worm people, now that was a world Ella wanted to live in. "But you know...it would be really hard not to want to eat the forts...and the people if they were made of those." Nod.Nod.Nod. "Especially when you love ice cream and gummy worms so much!" And if they ate the fort and the people...that would make them murderers O__O AND HOME WRECKERS! ...literally. Ella just wasn't cut out to be a home wrecker and a murderer! EEP.

The third year chewed on her lip as she tried to think of how big the fort should be. "Well I guess big enough for the two of us to fit? Hey! Then we could have our hot chocolate and gummy worms inside! I mean...if we make it that big." And that wouldn't be too hard, right? They weren't super big or anything...

Bliss felt really, really hyper. And being hyper was fun when she was with someone, but right now she wasn't. POUT. Maybe, just maybe, if she stayed in the same-ish place for long enough, someone would come along. Yes. That would work.

She skipped over to the Whomping Willow and did a little trick she had learnt from her brother which allowed her to go right up to it and it not kill her. She loved the Whomping Willow, as weird as it sounded. She had a reason, of course. It was where she'd met Blue, her sister, her bestie, her TWINNEH! And if that wasn't a good enough reason, then what was? When she reached the willow's trunk, Bliss slid down it and promptly wrapped her arms around her legs, bringing her knees to her chest.

Theeeen she waited.

Alec grinned as Ells let out a giggle. He had thought that it was a good idea, really. And Ells, hopefully she thought the same! Because he really did think that something like that was possible. People can have two jobs, right? And... and... from what Ells had just said, he had said the right thing, right? "Yeah!" he said, "Erm... I... how many weddings have you two planned?" They had to have planned a lot, right? The two were awesome at wedding planning! Unless... people didn't... want to get married. ... Yeah, the girl was right. Ella was just one of those people that was usually always right. Or... at least... he thought so. "Yeah... and then he wouldn't be so sad about... things," Like his dad and the fact that they didn't really have a great bond. That really was sad, in Alec's eyes. "Erm... you're good at a lot of things, though, Ells," he said, nodding his head.

So Ella had danced over... to the perfect spot? Alec let out a small chuckle at this as an image of Ella twirling around popped into his head. Yeah... she really could be a ballerina. "Erm... I... maybe you have magical feet!" GRIN. "Anytime, Ells!" ... He just KNEW that Ella would like the idea of having an ice cream for with gummy worm people inside. "It would be awesome!" The best fort EVER actually. Nothing could beat that. ... Oh. Ells... was right. Again. Because... well... no one could make one of those and not end up eating it. "Yeah... I mean, if we made one, we'd probably end up eating it before we finished making it..." he said, grinning and ruffling his hair, "Maybe... maybe we should never make an ice cream and a gummy worm one?"

Alec blinked at the biting lip thing that Ella was doing. For some reason... that was really nice. And he didn't... really... know why. Yeah... okay, look away Summers! The Hufflepuff ruffled his hair and looked down, pretending that he was just quietly observing the snow. People did that, right? "Erm... yeah. Yeah... I... hey!" he said, looking up suddenly with a grin spread across his face, "Ells, that's an awesome idea! I... yeah! Then... we'll get started, yeah?" And with that, the fourteen year old took a couple of steps backwards until he was a safe distance away from his companion. "Ells? Is this... okay? This size?"

Ella looked off into the distance thoughtfully, trying to think of how many weddings her and Hulk had planned already. Hmmm...there were definitely a few. "Eve and Edric's...cause they're clearly in love." Grin. "Then you and Tag...but you already knew that." And she smiled, poking him in the arm. "Then Super Chris and Ryan...and we really want to plan Sir Lewis and Kurumi's! That'd be cool." Oh and Max and Emmaleighs, obviously...but Ella wasn't even sure that was really a thing. She just had this hunch about it. She frowned a bit about the Messy being sad talk. She hated the thought of him ever being sad. He was Uncle Messy! He was meant to be happy and having fun. "I...yeah. I don't like when he's upset. Or um...when anyone is, really." But nobody really liked to see friends upset. She shrugged off his compliment, giving him a faint smile. "Yeah...maybe."

Magical feet? Ella giggled, looking down at her boots. "Could be! That would be quite cool, actually...magical feet." Cause then you could make things happen just by running or jumping or...dancing like an idiot. Yup, magical feet would be neat! Grin. The third year nodded when Alec suggested they never make a ice cream and gummy worm fort. That was probably for the best since they'd only end up destroying it. "Good thinking...though it really was a brilliant idea."

Ella was still brainstorming when she noticed Alec watching her out of the corner of her eye. This made her extremely nervous for some reason and she immediately stopped biting her lip, opting to tuck a strand of hair behind her ear instead. Right...this wasn't weird. He was probably just... waiting for her to come up with a game plan. Yeah! That was it. Mhm...She grinned back at him when he seemed excited about her suggestion. Cool. So they could just...start building, right? Yeah...yeah. "Sure! Let's get started." And she watched with a curious smile as he backed away from her, eyebrows raised. "I um...hold on." They'd probably want it just a bit bigger, just in case...yeah. Walking up to her fellow badger, she grabbed his hand and dragged him back a couple more steps. Letting his hand go when she figured they had the measurements right. "There. Perfect."

...and they were ready to build!

Finally being back to school, Angelina had to go explore around Hogwarts. Possibly meet new friends? Her old ones started to drift from her in the years and she needed new ones. Maybe today could be her luck day.

First, Angelina thought she would go down to the Whomping Willow to see how the old tree was holding up. The willow tree has always been interesting to Angelina since day one.

Walking a good distance from the whomping willow she put her hands on her hips and looked up at the calm tree. Well the calm tree at the moment.

Hop. Hop. Hop.

The 11 year old had just devoured six chocolate frogs and could feel the sugar coursing through her veins. Every move she took made her feel like the energizer bunny...hence the hopping.

Hop. Hop.

She stopped when she realized she was approaching a tree that she had come to know all to well--and a girl she didn't know at all. Such a strange combination, but nothing that couldn't be fixed. "Hellooooo." The sugar was talking. "I see you've met my friend," Meaning the tree, "So now you can meet me, I'm Alexa." BEAM. "And you are?" And more importantly did she have any chocolate frogs on her???? SUGAR!!

Being in her quiet zone at the moment it startled Angelina when someone came up to her and started talking. Jumping back a little with wide eyes Angelina watched the little girl talk away.

What did she mean by her friend? There was no one around. Did she mean the tree. Looking to her right at the Whomping Willow she wondered how the little girl would know the tree so well to call it her friend. Looking back at her Angelina smiled.

Now having a name to match with a face it would help Angelina better. The girl, named Alexa seemed to be very happy and friendly. Was she like this on a day to day base?

"Its nice to meet you Alexa. I'm Angelina," she said in reply to Alexa after she stopped talking.

Angelina?

She would commit that name to memory. Forgetting a name was never a good thing so she tried not to make a habit as much as possible. Not that she'd ever forgotten a name before as far as she could remember. Nah. Most people that she met left an impression whether bad or good so their names were pretty much stuck with her. That being said, she began sizing up the girl. Since she didn't know much about her she decided to try finding something about her that would make her a little easier to remember...

Hmmm....

Okay, maybe something would pop up eventually but as things stood she was getting tired of looking.

"So what brings you all the way out here?" To such a dangerous tree that most people seemed to avoid for some strange reason that she never could understand.

Angelina started to wonder how old Alexa was. First year, Second or third? She didn't know, but by seeing the tree was her friend she sounded older then a first year. Unless Alexa just hangs out at the tree a lot. She was about to asked her how old she was when the girl began to speak. Maybe later.

"I haven't been around here in a long while, so I thought I would come by," Angelina said looking at the tree and back to Alexa. "What about you?"

"Ooohhh." Lex nodded at the older girl. Basically she just wanted to visit the old tree too. She couldn't blame her. This was a very interesting tree with quite the history behind it. She could remember several visits to the old thing--not many of which turned out well but being the forgiving child she was she still continued to visit. If she didn't then merlin knew the poor thing would get lonely. Anyone would get lonely if she suddenly stopped visiting them.

"I was just looking for something to do I guess." She said with a shrug. "So then, what year are you in--and you got any candy?" It was an innocent question . She just reeeaaally wanted more sugar.

Was it too soon to be suffering from sugar withdrawl?

sorry its so short :/
 

Angelina nodded at Alexa. She looked at the ground a little and back up at her when she started asking questions. "I'm in forth year. What about you," Angelina asked. She would finally get to know how old she was. She laughed a little when Alexa asked if she had any candy. Angelina shook her head, "No I don't. I do up in my dorm, just not with me." How funny. Nobody she just met asked for candy like this.

Tis fine ^_^
 

Oooohhh. Hmm...Lex had a policy against those sorts. Anyone older than 11 was completely suspicious and not to be trusted for a second with a few exceptions here and there. Still, this girl didn't seem so bad. Okay. She would be nice. "Oh I'm a firstie!" She said proudly. Everything about being a firstie was cool, no questions asked, it was true. Firsties were the best.

Awww...no sugar...

Lex's expression dropped when she heard this. "Oh it's fine. I don't want you running all the way back to your common room just so I can have some sugar." See how selfless she was being? Normally it wouldn't matter to her but of course she was now a better person. Nod.

"So where are your older friends?" Because everyone knew that older kids walked around in groups bent on annoying younger ones.

Angelina smiled and something memories from her own first year came into her mind. "Thats a great year," she said. It really was a great year for someone at Hogwarts. Her first year was different from any other year. She wanted to do everything, she did, but once after first year she never did the same things again. "What house," she asked Alexa.

Angelina giggled a little, "its a bit old anyways. I don't think you would like or want it."

She shrugged her shoulders, "I have no idea where any of my friends are. For some reason we end up being everywhere around the place, never together." It was hard though for Angelina to find her friends anyways. None of her friends where in the same house as her at all, so she couldn't find them in the common room or anything easily.

Alec tucked his hands into his pockets and watched the blonde haired girl as she started to... well... think? Yeah. She had that thinking look on her face that he knew so well. Yeah... he had known Eve indirectly and, well, Ells and Hulk had mentioned this Edric person a lot. GRIN GRIN GRIN. Him and Tag! Yeah, it was a good thing Ells and Hulk were planning it. And the other two couples... yeah. Alec nodded along, a grin still spread across his face. "That's a lot of weddings you know, Ells," he said, "Erm... I... they're not all happening at the same time, right?" Because, obviously, they'd want to attend all of these weddings and they couldn't do that if they were all held at the same time. Messy, though. Yes, that guy was very weird at times but Ells was right. "Yeah... yeah, it's really sad to see people upset," he said, shuffling his feet slightly, "You know... that makes you really awesome, Ells." Truly.

"Yeah!" he said, grinning, "Yeah... it would be like having... a superpower!" And superpowers were AWESOME, no matter what they were. Except... he didn't really know what this superpower could do to help people. Maybe... maybe they could help her find the scene of a crime and she could poof there and then... YEAH! GRIN. That would be awesome! ... "Yeah... I... thanks Ells!" he said, ruffling his hair.

Alec... didn't really know what was going on. All of a sudden, he started feeling really, really hot and everything felt a bit... weird. And awkward. Everything was always awkward whenever him and Ells were invoved but... this was different! But the girl had stopped biting her lip which was good. Except... now she was tucking a strand of her beautiful hair behind her ear. Yeah... not helping, Ella Bishop! Okay... they could just talk about their plan. That would work. ... Or maybe not. Alec's eyes widened slightly as he felt her hand hold onto his. WHY IN THE NAME OF SUPERMAN'S SUPER SENSES WAS SHE GRABBING HIS HAND FOR?! Okay... Breathe... breathe... breathe... She was only leading him somewhere else. This was not a bad thing. This was all friendly!

... And she had let go. Phew. He could calm his... stomach down. "Yeah?" he asked, letting a half grin spread across his face, "So we start building?" 'Cause, really, the sooner they started, the sooner they could have that hot chocolate and gummy worms. Alec bent down and started picking up some snow, patting it down carefully on the bit of snow by his feet.

She couldn't argue that. First years seemed to have the most fun! Half the stuff she did most of the older kids looked down on or called stupid. Meh. It was their loss. She was going to continue having fun until the last fun cell in her body died and she didn't plan on that happening anytime soon. Nope.

At hearing the next question she began to grin. Talk about house pride. "I'm a Gryffie!" She stated proudly. "The best of the lot--but of course you'd already knew that." Even older kids had their moments when they were smart so she would know this. Everyone had to know this fact.

She made a face at the girl. "Old candy...? How do you have old candy?" Whenever she bought candy it never lasted more than a day, at most. It never had the opportunity to 'get old'. Not on her watch! Candy was meant to be eaten in its prime.

Alexa gasped. "So you've lost them?! That's terrible! Do you want me to help you look? Boy, I'd be torn up if I lost my friends." Who else would she create mischief with? "What houses are they in?

Ella laughed softly, nodding her head. "I know it is." Grin. "People must really trust us to agree to have us plan an important day like that." And she shrugged, smiling thoughtfully. The blonde shook her head at Alec's question, thinking that would be quite crazy if they were all on the same day. "No...we um...we couldn't do that. Then we would have to pick only one to go to." MEEP. And they couldn't possibly do that! "And seeing as I HAVE to be at Edric and Eve's...me being his best woman and all...they'll all have to be on different days." There was just no way around that. The third year was a bit surprised at the awesome comment and she turned pink, looking down at her feet with a smallish smile on her face. "I um..." Shrug. "Thanks." He really needed to stop complimenting her cause the blushing was quite embarrassing, yeah?

BEAM! Bounce. Bounce. Bounce. "Yeah! A superpower! And since...I'm meant to be Ellawoman now, I guess I'll need some of those." Cause really, she couldn't go around fighting crime with Theoman without superpowers! "I um...Well what superpowers would you want? I mean...if you could choose." Ella thought a lot about the subject and had narrowed her choices down, though sometimes she added to the list. The third year GRINNED as she watched her friend ruffle his hair. It was really nice, Alec's hair. And the ruffling was just really...O_O Um...Shuffle. What was she even thinking right now? That was...weird. She blinked at him several times before remembering he had thanked her. Whoops."You're...you're welcome."

Unfortunately for Alec, Ella had no idea that her grabbing his hand was weird. When she was focused on something, especially something as awesome as a snow fort, she tended to ignore things like the fact that Alec might be uncomfortable at the moment. She did notice the relieved look when she let go of his hand, though. This made her raise an eyebrow at him, wondering why he looked like that. Meep. He must have thought holding her hand was terrible or something...But...but friends held hands, yeah? And she didn't mean anything by it...it was for fort purposes so... Blink. Oh! Right...the fort. Ella gave the boy a small smile and nodded. "Yeah...yeah, I'll start on that side over there." And she turned away from him, walking some feet away.

The third year plopped down in the snow, slowly but surely packing the white stuff into a big wall-like structure. She worked hard, not even bothering to look and see what her friend was doing. After quite some time, she fell back in the snow and looked up at the sky, tired from all the work. "Hey Alec?" She called, wondering how her housemate was doing. "I think...I need a break." Giggle. Were his arms tired as well?

Tazzia!Beezuusss
 

When Alexa was proud of what house she came from, Angelina couldn't help but wonder why she didn't guess the girl was a Gryffindor with the way she was. "Oh that's nice. I'm a Slytherin," she told Alexa.

Angelina shrugged her shoulders, "I got the candy way back and when I was eating it, I would throw it back into my truth where it got long and forgotten at the bottom." She loved candy, but it could get old to her and she ended up not wanting it at all and wanting good foods.

Angelina shook her head and laughed a bit, "No, I didn't lose them. We just been a little distance this year with school." She did miss them a lot though! "I've got maybe two friends in Ravenclaw and a group of Hufflepuffs. I don't think I got any Gryffindor friends, unless I'm forgetting someone," she said, mumbling off at the end thinking if she forgot a Gryffindor she was friends with. "But then I got a few friends in Slytherin with me," she said with a small smile.

Nice? Juuuust nice? The poor girl wasn't getting it the way Lex thought she was. "Trust me, it's more than nice--it's awesome!!" Insert BEAM of house pride here. "But Slytherin's cool too; my bestest friend's in that house." Which redeemed the house a bit. "Were you happy when you got sorted there?" She asked curiously. Not everyone liked where the hat placed them afterall.

Le GASP!

"So you let candy get wasted?! Is it like some kind of regular habit?" This girl should have been arrested by the candy police for crimes against candy everywhere! How did you not finish candy? She could barely limit herself once she got started. Even when the candy made her sick she was still determined to have more. "We should really work on that 'cause you're gonna have to make amends for offending candykind." She thought for a moment. "I know! We can have a candy day, where we'll eat nothing but candy!!" She really liked that idea.

"Ooohhh...hmm...then I guess you guys would be a part a lot huh? I hope that never happens to me and my friends...--you don't have any Gryffindor friends?!" Merlin! "We have to fix that immediately!! As of now I'm you're friend and since I'm in Gryffindor, I'm your Gryffindor friend." Nod. Not having a gryffie as a friend, such a shame. So good she was fixing that.

Alec grinned, slightly amused by all the wedding talk. It was great, actually, that Ells and the Hulk had this little business going. It was also great to see Ells talking so happily about the whole thing. It was... nice, yeah. "I'm... erm... not surprised that they trust you two, you know," he said, smiling at the girl. Really, who wouldn't trust them? "That's probably a good thing!" he said, nodding. If they were all on the same day... then some people might be upset. And that wouldn't be good. ... Best woman?! "Really? Congrats Ells! That's awesome!" GRIN GRIN GRIN. "Erm... I... so do you have to wear a dress or... a suit?" ... And that was probably a really bad question on his part. Okay so... he should say something else to cover that up, right? "Erm... Messy said I can be best man at his wedding and he can be best man at mine. You know... in the far... far... future..." ... Maybe he shouldn't have said that. Alec shuffled his feet in the snow as Ella... started blushing? From the compliment, yeah? "Anytime!" he said, smiling at the blush spreading across the girl's cheeks. That was... yeah. Nice.

GRIN GRIN GRIN. Ellawoman! "Erm... I... so we can call you Ellawoman from now on?" Because that had to be the best nickname EVER! "And that would be a really awesome superpower!" As for his... he didn't really know what his superpower would be. It had to do with helping people, right? And trying to save the day? But then... it had to be unique and special to him so... Alec just shrugged his shoulders. "I... erm... I dunno," he said, a confused expression crossing his face, "What do you think it should be?" Because Ells could help him with this right? YEAH. Speaking of Ells, the girl... hadn't said anything for a while now. Or... well... it seemed like a while because usually, she was good at saying something back almost instantly, even if she hesitated sometimes. And the awkward shuffle? Yeah... he was starting to get a little bit more confused now. When she did speak, however, he smiled back and nodded. Yeah, maybe she just couldn't find her words.

Alec didn't really know what to think. Everything felt so... weird. But it was a good kind of weird aside from all the confusing thoughts running through his mind. And Ella's hands... he didn't really notice it before but they were really soft. And nice to hold, actually. Maybe... maybe they could become the hand holding type of friends? ... Okay, wait, what was he thinking?! The girl had a boyfriend! And he had... well, no girlfriend to speak of but yeah. He should probably think about some- Ella. Alec blinked at the raised eyebrow. Could she... read his thoughts? Was that why she was raising her eyebrows now? ... Yeah, he really needed some help and FAST. "Erm... yeah!" he said, as the girl started talking about the fort they were meant to build. Not knowing what else to say, the boy just ended up grinning.

The fourteen year old tried his hardest to keep his eyes on the sand and the fort they were meant to build. Because... he had to concentrate if they were going to make the most awesome fort, right? Yeah! But occasionally, his grey-blue eyes would wander up and rest on the blonde haired girl he was working with. Seeing the girl work so hard was actually nice. He just smiled and shook his head before looking back down at his fort area. Just as he was patting down some more snow, Ella called his name and the boy looked up only to see that his housemate had fallen back on the snow. A break? He let out a small chuckle before walking over to the girl and flopping down next to her. "So... erm... Ells?" he asked, his eyes on the white sky, "Think we could have the gummy worms and hot chocolate now?" Because... well... he was kind of hungry. And Ella had to be hungry as well.

Trying to make friends to give some potion...
 

Befelda has been really exhausted the whole day and she felt like visiting the Whomping Willow for the first time. She's been thinking about the Potions homework. I need to find someone willing to take this potion. After all, it's not a poison. She went on walking, with the potion hidden inside her robe. She, arrived at the site of the Whomping Willow.

Befelda was amazed, and terrified at the same time. The site of the Whomping Willow was not that awful, though a bit sad and melancholy. But she they were warned not to get close to it. So she continued walking straight but not close to it and noticed these 2 Slytherin and Gryffindor girls talking on the other side.

DING! She had an idea. She thought of approaching the 2 students. But she decided to talk to the Slytherin girl, whom she assumed was on the higher grade. She thought that the girl already knew about the potion she has.

She walked straight up to them and she unintentionally overheard them talking. She suddenly joined their conversation. "Perhaps, you might want to have a Hufflepuff friend too?" she quipped giving the 2 girls a big smile on her face. "Sorry, I didn't mean to eavesdrop but I overheard what your topic was about.", she quickly said on her defense and again produced a big smile on her face.

"Oh, that was so uncivil of me. I'm Befelda Solster.", she introduced herself offering her hand to the 2 students.

"You're not surprised?" Ella asked, a small smile on her face. I guess it wasn't that shocking, though. Ella and Hulk were pretty trust worthy...most of the time...when it didn't involve Edrilyn matters. Her eyes shone with excitement as Alec commented on her best woman status and she bounced excitedly, nodding her head. "Really!" Grin. "Thanks! I'm honored..." Not that he had many other choices but still...The third year giggled when Alec asked her what she'd need to wear, shrugging her shoulders. "Good question, actually. I think maybe a dress and a bow tie. That seems legit, yeah?" And she looked at him thoughtfully, wondering what he would think of her outfit choice. GRIN. GRIN. GRIN. "I'm not surprised y'know, you being Messy's best mate and all." It was only right that Alec should be the best man, yeah? And same goes for Messy being his. "Right um...far... far future..." The wedding topic was now making Ella a little sad, considering her own opinion on the subject. "I'm never getting married so I guess I won't need a maid of honor...though I hope I can be Soph's." Shrug...

BEAM. So Alec liked her super hero name?! This was good...because well...it just was. "Yeah, of course you can!" Grin. "I'd like that." And she agreed that that was quite a unique super power to have, which was pretty cool. Ellawoman could totally be one of a kind! She eyed Alec curiously as he seemed stumped on what his power of choice would be. When he asked her for help, she turned to face him and smiled. "I think your super power would beeee..." Hair ruffling? Hmm...probably not. Sure it looked nice when he did th-O__O Anyways... "I've got it!" Grin. "You'll have super hugs! I mean the kind that can instantly cure sadness or anger or sickness...that would be brilliant." And he was already half way there, really. His hugs already had the ability to cheer people up, or at least they always cheered her up. See? So it was totally possible.

What was happening right now? One minute they were getting on well... like they always did and the next things felt different. Not in a bad way or anything...but in a way that made Ella feel like things were changing somehow. She didn't know what to make of the whole thing and worse, she couldn't even think properly what with all the grinning and the extreme confusion going on in her head. At least working on the fort would help make things a bit less...awkward.

The small blonde smiled as she heard Alec's footsteps approaching, glad he didn't think the break was a bad idea. She continued to look up at the sky, the cold air causing her cheeks and nose to turn red. And the snowflakes that kept landing on her face made her giggle. She grinned up at her housemate as he walked by, turning her head to face him when he plopped down in the snow next to her. "Yeah?" She asked, a curious smile on playing on her lips. She GRINNED at his question, surprised because she had been thinking the same thing. "You read my mind, y'know." BEAM. And she turned her head to look in the direction of the basket and thermos. Meh. They were SO far away.

The badger slowly got to her feet, dusting the snow off of herself and walking over to stand by Alec. She reached her hands out in front of her and wiggled her fingers at him, a small smile on her face. "Need some help up?" Grin. It was time for foooood!
