I am kinda... bummed about er... not being able to... er... hang out with some friends.... yeah thats... thats the thing" ok there she kinda knew now.. he just didn't mention names that's all.

Harvey looked at Ella as they both listened to Minnie, and he saw her eyes go wide. He didn't find it a big deal that they were talking about two people in the same year as him and Ella but obviously Ella was finding it to be a big deal. He wondered why, wait was she blushing now as well. He smiled as this, he hadnt seen her blush like that in a long time. No he would not comment on it, but he had kinda missed seeing her blush like that. Too bad she knew that he liked those blushes or he could have said something.

He was still wondering who the cute couple could be cause it would be fun to help them out, he saw Ella look down. This kinda worries him cause when she did that it was never a good thing, but he was glad to see her look up and answer his question. So she knew who the puff was? And she wasn't telling him who she was, she was holding out on him after all those promises to tell the truth and stuff. He hoped he was wrong, "Oh! And who is this other puff that likes another puff? " cause he knew of many puffs so he was now very interested in that.



Harvey smiled as Mins said that he could help, really? he could? awesome! "Really? How can I help? " he asked her wondering what sort of things he could do to help these two out. He lows shocked at the next sentence "What? Since when? What happened?" he asked concerned and forgetting about the cute couple. This was more important, after all the times Taylor called him her brother and he didn't know this, though he could understand which is why he wanted to know from Mins what had happened. But she was smiling, he wondered why when he was worried about Taylor and Damon.

He thought he heard Mins hide a laugh as Ella was shocked with what they were talking about, but he was still on Taylor and Damon, but that kind of left when she said that she didnt know any puffs that liked each other. He looked at both the girls who seemed to be acting strange, he was now confused as to who they were talking about. The two mystery couples were still a mystery to him, he saw Mins roll her eyes before she burst out laughing. What did they do that was that funny? he wondered, the next thing he knew Mins was talking about some girl he liked. WAIT WHAT? Him? Like a girl? No... she must be mistaken. But wasnt that the reason he wanted her back her so many times over the past 10months or so, to help with these weird things that were happening to him. Was that what it was? He needed to talk to Mins alone some time he needed to know. "Min.. I.. er... what do you mean? Do you think so? " he asked since she always knew that about him so for her to say AND Justin say the same meant that there was something. She was suddenly then leaving? "But wait Mins, I need more information!" did she have to leave right now. Uh oh now Ella knew that he had suspected something, how would she now feel knowing that? Cause she liked him right and now she knew he liked someone it must hurt more to hear that. Even though him liking someone was not certain it was just .... under investigation.

So this whole little gathering of the minds was turning into one big awkward fest, or at least that's what Ella thought. She frowned slightly, knowing Harvey wasn't telling her the whole truth about tryouts. Some things had definitely changed, it seemed, and them being honest was apparently one of them. Meh. "Okay, if you say so." Ella said, leaving it at that.

And jhdfjkhdjfkshfkshf. Minnie was making Ella really annoyed at the moment, and Ells didn't do 'annoyed.' And Harvey? He was sitting there smiling because of what? She shot him a curious look, wondering what he could possibly be smiling ab-O__O He definitely wasn't smiling at her blushing, right? Cause that wasn't allowed. Nope. Stop that, Mr. Watson.

The third year was tempted to answer Harvey's question, revealing her thoughts on Minnie's new secret crush. It was what she wanted to do, but she couldn't. It wasn't her secret to tell, even if Minnie was having a blast making things super awkward for her at the moment. They'd be speaking about this later though, right? EYES. "I um...I can't really say." She replied, shrugging her shoulders. Yeah Minnie, you're welcome.

...

Glare. Glare. Glare. Ells couldn't help it as Minnie was now laughing...like REALLY laughing at them. Of course they made her laugh, she didn't have to deal with any of this directly. She just got to like...sit back and enjoy the train wreck...eat popcorn...sip some butterbeer...relax. MEH. And then Minnie was suggesting Harvey liked a girl, just dropping that bomb like it was nothing and then...THEN...she was leaving. Awesome. Way to be helpful, Ms. Badger.

Ella didn't exactly know what to say now that Minnie was gone. She was actually upset that she was the only one of them that understood what Minnie had been trying to do an so without really thinking about it, she clued Harvey in. "She was talking about us, you know..." Well clearly he didn't know, but now he did. "I mean about the Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff...she meant....us." She bit her lip slightly, looking anywhere but at him. Oh...and he liked some new girl? That was brilliant. He sure did hop around from girl to girl a lot. Maybe Ells didn't know him very well after all. Edric might have been right.

Minerva looked at Harvey as she stood and just kept laughing, "Oh Harvey.. For a fourth year Ravenclaw you just miss the boat sometimes there dear." she leaned over and patted his head like a child. It was time for her to leave, yes she caused enough awkwardness to maybe push their feelings out in the open, so now it was time to leave while the timing was right and by the looks of Ella she might need to avoid her around a certain puff for awhile or paybacks could be interesting.

"Well you two have a fabulous day, I know you probably have so much to talk about and I just went and interrupted. It's great seeing you two and Harvey we will catch up later I hope. Ella I know I'll be seeing you around at least in the common room eventually." she smiled and was going to give them a hug but was afraid Ella might strangle her instead. Turning she gave them one last smile and walked up towards the castle.

He listened as Minnie stood up and continued laughing, he wondered what was so funny that she was laughing. "Miss the boat? Wha... what do you mean?" what was she talking about? missing boats? he hadn't been on a boat. He was no confused as she patted his head before she told them to have a fabulous day, and they had to talk about stuff? she had that right they did! he needed to know what Mins was talking about and he was sure that Ella could shed light on that! "Yeah it was great seeing you too Mins" even though she was confusing him right now "Yeah.. yeah we can catch up later" and be prepared to be bombarded with questions! He then watched as she walked upto the castle leaving them both alone.

Now that they were alone he looked at her and wondered what they should do now, should he question what Mins was talking about now or later. Maybe now would be a good time as any, he was about to ask when she said something to him "Talking about us?" he questioned her as said that Mins was talking about them. After she said that the claw and puff that Mins was talking about was them, he was surprised and shocked as he suddenly understood everything that Mins had said except the thing about missing boats and them needing to talk. After he managed to pick up his dropped chin he talked "Ohhh I.. I see" well why didn't she just say so instead of playing riddles and stuff. So Mins thought they were a cute couple? she and Justin? "Wellll... she could... have just said it like that" straight out like Ella had just done.

Ella couldn't help but frown at Minnie as the older Puff made quite the exit, leaving Ella feeling more awkward than before and leaving Harvey with lots of questions. Questions which Ella was probably meant to answer, yeah? Had that been the older badger's goal all along? To make them talk about...stuff? Meh. Not nice, not nice at all.

Nod.Nod.Nod. "Yeah...about us." Ella confirmed, looking at Harvey with raised eyebrows. He got it now, eh? He understood what she was playing at? And good, he looked as surprised as she had earlier. At least now she wasn't the only one feeling all weirded out. "I um...yeah." Meep. She really didn't know what to say now. "She could have?" Ella was a bit surprised by this, mostly because had she just come out and said it, Ella didn't know how she would have responded. "Well...what would you have said if...if she had just come out and said that?" It still wouldn't really have changed anything, especially if Harvey already liked some mystery girl.

Harvey now understood it all, his best friends thought that he and Ella made a cute couple. He looked at Ella... ok so maybe they were right about that, he had told her she was pretty before so it was a good point. He nodded "Yeah, it would have been much easier instead of playing around" he was not pleased about that, Mins had made him look stupid and dumb in front of Ella.. thanks Mins!! He didn't want to look stupid in front of her, what would she think of him now? they would probably laugh about him once they get to their common rooms, talking about how stupid he was to not even get that!

He looked at Ella as she asked him a question, he didn't know what to say to that he was quite speechless "Well... I.. er..." that was a good question what would he have said to that "I would have.. er.. probably said.. that er.. Justin said the same" yeah he had said that "And that.. er... their opinion was .... noted.. and then I may have asked what you thought of her saying that about us" yeah so thats what he would have said, he wondered if Ella would answer that and tell him what she thought of it.

Ella didn't really notice Harvs and all his thinking and staring as she was doing quite a bit of thinking herself, at the moment. The third year found herself going over her conversation with Edric, trying to remember what he had said to her so that she didn't freak out right now with feels. Right. She could totally have this conversation without getting super awkward. Mhm. She could. "Justin? Oh I um...well yeah, I guess I assumed he was in on...that." That being her and Harvs dating or whatever. She raised an eyebrow at his next comment. Their opinion was noted? What did that mean? Anyway...then the attention was on her again and she didn't like it. She had already done this, remember? Harvey knew perfectly well what she thought...used to think..jshsjkhdssdhk She honestly didn't even know anymore. Poker face. "I guess I think that they just want us to be happy and I guess they think we'd be happy with eachother...or something." Shrug. The badger was doing her best to be indifferent to this entire thing and seriously struggling. She just honestly didn't want to get her feelings hurt again. It had been horrible enough the first time around.
