Harvey hugged Mins back before they all settled down onto the blanket and Mins answered their questions. He listened as she explained everything, whatever it was he was glad to have her back. Yeah he could understand after waving wands and brewing potions for a whole term it is hard going back into the muggle world and not doing any of that. He smiled as Ella seemed to bouncing with happiness that Mins was back, he should have known this would happen. Even if he couldn't make her smile others would, well hopefully that would change but only time would tell.

He nodded as Ella said that they had missed her "Yeah we did miss ya, afterall who would drag us to class?" he joked knowing that if he hadnt been attending his classes that she would be doing that right now. Good thing he was so she couldn't complain, he then heard that she had missed the sign ups "Aww Mins yeah I am sorry too" he said after Ella cause he really was "Though at least I wont have the quaffle stolen from me, or pushed out of the way" he joked a little trying not to laugh and keeping a straight face, though he and Ella had sort have had that agreement that they would go easy on each other as well as playing fairly for their houses. He and Mins didnt have that agreement so it could have been possible that things wouldnt go to plan.

He smiled as Ella said she was trying out, meaning they were both trying out again for the teams and if they made the team they could be against each other. He always felt a little awkward playing against his best friend but then it was a game that he had to play, best friend or no best friend. He then looked at the girls as they question him as to the whereabouts of Justin, he looked at Mins and shook his head "I have no idea what has happened to him. I thought he might have told you, last time I saw him was over the summer but nothing since then. " he frowned realising neither of them knew where he was, did he not tell anyone where he was? or what he was upto? apparently not.

[spoiler=Awkward Friends.. Time to help with that..]

Minerva smiled at Ella and got excited for her, "Oh you will make the team again Ella, you were brilliant last term. So I know you will make it easily this term. So don't get all freaked out like last year. Just relax and have fun. Is Oakey going out again?" she hoped he was he was a good beater and since she wasn't going out they needed Oakey to be there. He was better the Minerva so it was better he be there then her anyway. She then realized she hadn't seen him yet and made a mental note to find him soon to say hi. She still owed him from saving her last term from Professor Lafay. "When is your first day of tryouts?" she asked the question really to both of them. She knew Harvey was going out again like always. She would have to see if she still had the badger head Aaron gave her a few terms ago, at least she could have school spirit.

She then shook her head, "No I didn't hear from him. Once I left I didn't hear from anyone, but I don't know if anyone really knew where I went so I didn't expect anyone to contact me." she frowned at this knowing Maxwell moved on without even trying to contact her first, but shock it off. "Well Ariana said she saw him at the train station, but that was it and hasn't seen him since. It is just so weird. Why would he leave without telling anyone. I might try to send him an owl and see if I get a response that way." Yes, that was the right thing to do. Try to figure out this mystery.

She decided she wanted to change the subject and looked from one to the other and smiled, "So what else is going on? Any new romances around the school? Friends maybe starting to date?" she was afraid to just come out and ask, but she was hoping at least Ella would get the hint, because she knew Harvey was a little slow when it came to these things.

The third year nodded, agreeing that she needed to not be as nervous about tryouts this term. She'd already made it through them once, best not to get so crazy about them again. It was no use, really. Whatever happens happens. As for Oakey, Ella shrugged. "I'm not sure, actually. I mean I hope he is. He's quite a good beater and we'd miss him if he didn't try out." Besides, Oakey was her friend and Ella wanted him on the team with her. The more the merrier, yeah? The blonde tried not to look nervous when she was asked about when the actual tryouts started. "I believe it's tomorrow, actually...I'm ready, though." Or as ready as she'd ever be.

So Ella was kinda happy for Harvey now that Minnie was back. She knew he must have really missed her, especially now that they weren't hanging out as much. Unfortunately Ella really couldn't fill the best friend void right now, after all, things were kinda weird between them these days. At least now he could have Minnie around to talk to and such. That was definitely a good thing. It was slightly puzzling to her that nobody knew where Justin was, though. She hoped that he was okay and that nothing bad had happened to him but she tried not to let her mind go there.

O____O

Ella's green eyes grew a bit wide and she kind of lost all color in her face. She was definitely not expecting that question and knew exactly what Minnie was talking about. Unfortunately, she knew Harvey probably did too. Hm. How to answer this? Best to be honest, right? "I heard those Prefects Sierra and Kennedy are dating now." She started, shrugging her shoulders slightly. That was a new romance...as for friends dating, "I don't know of any friends that are dating." The blonde added, looking anywhere but at Harvey. Meh. This wasn't completely awkward or anything. Nope. Not at all.

Harvey smiled as Mins said the same thing he had said the previous term, see Ella Harvey was not the only one who thought that. He then listened as the two girls talked about qudditch, he smiled knowing that Ella could talk for hours on this subject since it was her favourite. She loved this subject a lot! He then listened as she asked about their first trouts, oops this was where he was going to get into trouble, but he didn't have to tell her that he hadn't attended any yet, right? He hoped not.. he listened and then gave his answer too "Mine have started a couple of days ago" yup and he hadn't attended any yet, but he would soon.

He listened as she shook her head and said that she hadnt heard from Justin, he looked down at his shoes before looking back at her "I didn't even know you had left until Justin told me, yeah I still had a couple of weeks after that but I got busy getting ready for this term." way to go Harvey second time you didn't owl her to see where she was, sometimes he just disliked that about himself but that was him. He was just glad that she was back, he wondered if she minded that he hadn't sent an owl when he really should have since he had missed her a lot. He then listened as she talked about Ariana meeting him on the station. He silently nodded agreeing that it would be good to do that, he too wanted to know where his best friend had gone. But at least he had the one best friend he had been really missing back, now he had to wait for the other. He glanced at Ella, she knew now much he had missed hanging out with Mins. Now that Mins was back that didn't mean that he was going to stop hanging out with Ella.

He saw Mins look from him to Ella and knew there was something on her mind, he wondered what she was thinking. That was soon answered, he wondered if Justin had talked to Mins about their conversation about 9months ago where he admitted that being around Ella made him happy and stuff. He kept quiet cause he wasnt about to say that if she didnt know, plus he wanted to act oblivious to her question. He then listened as Ella talked about the Slytherin prefects dating "Yeah I heard that too" he kind of blurted out hoping that she wouldn't question any further and would get off the subject. He listened as Ella said no to friends dating, well that should stop Mins' convo in its track. "I don't know of any either" he said to her agreeing with Ella. He wondered why Mins came out with that, was she trying to imply something like Justin had been implying? About him and Ella?

Yeah... it was official. This place was scary. Sutton needed someone to just escort her from place to place... like a body guard or something. Or maybe she just needed to spend her entire term studying rather than making friends or participating in social functions. Then maybe she'd be caught up. Without knowing, she let out a sigh of discouragement. She missed her friends from home.

As the girl introduced herself, Sutton came back to the present and turned back to her with a smile. "Addy? Is that short for Addison or something? Or is your real name Addy?" she asked, mostly just out of curiosity. "I'm from the U.S.... Ohio," she said with a shrug. Honestly, Ohio wasn't that great of a place. There wasn't anything particularly exciting about it. The only reason she was so far away was because her parents decided if she was going to go to magic school, they wanted to send her where no one they knew could possibly see her. "How about you?" she asked.

Minerva listened to Ella as she talked about quidditch and chuckled.. "Oh you will be fine and I will make sure to wear my badger hat Aaron gave me a few terms ago. Since I won't be on the team at least I can wear it and cheer everyone on." She then frowned a bit not knowing if Oakey was trying out, she hoped he did. "Well I'm sure Oakey would try out. He loves Qudditch and being a beater." she was sure he did. "I have seen him in class, but haven't gotten to talk to him much. I over heard someone saying he was dating Laura, is that true?" She didn't know if that was true or not, but why not ask. Wouldn't another badger know these things?

She then grinned at the two of them. Why was it so obvious they were hiding their feelings, even last term, but they wanted to play it off then she would as well. "Oh they are? Hmm that's interesting. So no closer friends are getting together, pitty, because I know of two people that would just be so cute together." She smiled, but didn't say anymore. "Maxwell and I have broken up, but I think it's for the best." she figured she would throw that in just so they couldn't say she was pestering them over their awkward friendship.

Then eyeing Harvey, "Were you saying you haven't been to any tryouts yet, or any classes yet Harvey Watson?? You best be at classes or I will be coming and dragging you to them this year. You do not have Justin to stop you this year." she glared at her best friend.

Ella listened to Minnie, a small smile on her face, raising her eyebrows a bit at the mention of badger hat. "Is it like...an actual badger on a hat? Or um...like a picture of one on a cap or something?" Cause clearly it was important to know this type of vital information about Minnie's hat. Mhm. As for Oakey trying out, the third year agreed with Minnie. "Yeah, I'm sure he will be..." Oh...and she'd heard about Laura and Oakey, eh? Well Ells actually wasn't sure what the two were doing these days, especially after that Lucas character. "I um...well they were dating over the summer and stuff but I'm not exactly sure what's going on now." She didn't want to go into much more detail than that, mostly because she was unsure of the situation.

And then more awkwardness. BRILLIANT. At least Harvey seemed as unhappy to discuss this as she did. They were on the same page again, it seemed. What made the whole thing so much more was that Minnie was making it EXTREMELY obvious that she was talking about them. What with her grinning and hinting. Ella couldn't help but frown at her. She was doing this on purpose, yeah? "Yeah, I guess he asked her out or something." Ella replied, commenting on the current Prefect romance going on. It was no Sir Lewis/Cookie Kurumi romance, but she guessed it was still kind of cute. EYEBROWSSSSSSSSSSS. Really, Minerva? Ells was not amused. Things between her and Harvey were awkward enough as it was. "No, I don't think so..." Shrug. Poker face. "Oh yeah? It's too bad for them, then...that they can't figure it out." And okay, maybeeee that wasn't how she should have responded but Ella didn't like playing games and she definitely didn't hide her feelings well. She did frown a bit when she heard about Minnie and Maxwell, feeling bad because she knew Minnie liked him. "Are you alright, then? Really?"

Harvey hadn't gone to any tryouts yet? That was strange. Ells forgot all the awkward talk for a moment and turned to him, raising an eyebrow. "How come you haven't been going?" She asked seriously. "You have to make the team." Cause Ella knew that it was important to him. It seemed Minnie was on the same page as well.

Harvey smiled as Minnie again told Ella that she would be fine and talked of a badger hat that she had that she would wear to the matches, he heard Ella ask Minnie what sort hat it was. “Maybe it is time to get you an eagle one too” mmm? Hint hint! Though he was only joking, Mins was a puff so why would she have a claw hat anyways. He smiled as they talked about Oakey and how much he loved quidditch, it seemed that they were all on the same page there, cause the three of them and Oakey and possible many more loved to play quidditch. “You know Mins, I have you to thank for me being on the team. Afterall it was you who got me to make that deal in second year” yeah remember that? Even though he didn’t want to make that deal cause he didn’t want to be on the team, he made it cause it was Mins but now that he had been on the team for 2 years he realised that he was glad that Mins had made him make that deal. Hold up! What was this now? Laura and Oakey? He never thought he would hear those two names together. Though Ella said she wasn’t sure of the current situation on the Laura/Oakey relationship

He wondered Ella was making of all this hint dropping of Minnie’s, he should have guessed that if Justin wouldn’t then Minnie would! She would be dropping hints and trying to get them to talk just like Justin did. Minnie now seemed to be interested in the Slytherin relationship as Ella confirmed that they were together now. He heard Mins ask if any closer friends were dating, he sure hoped that she wasn’t talking about him and Ella, no she couldn’t be.. she obviously meant someone else of course! Though he did notice that there seemed to be some eyebrow action from Ella but he looked back at Minnie, so even Ella was thinking that she was talking about them? “Yeah I agree with Ella, there aren’t any as far as we know” there he had answered her question but wait what? She knew two people that would be cute together.. ooo she knew something he didn’t. “Who Mins? Do we know them?” he asked her wondering who she was talking about, cause he hadn’t seen anyone like that. Even Ella seemed to know who Mins was talking about, ahh probably two puffs in their common room. “Yeah I agree, it’s too bad if they do look cute together” he smiled a little. It was kind of sad actually to hear that Maxwell and Mins weren’t together anymore “Aw I am sorry about that Mins, yeah who knows.. you might find someone else.” he wondered if he could match her up with someone, but he didn’t know anyone that would be suitable for Mins.

Suddenly he was being questioned from both directions about his classes and quidditch, AND a glare from Mins oh boy, he wasn’t expecting any glares “Hold on girls, one at a time. Mins don’t worry I will be attending classes and tryouts, though I think that deal is over but its a bit of fun on a broom.” he smiled and then turned to Ella “I don’t know.. I guess I just had other things on my mind? I just didn’t feel like going I guess” he said looking at Ella finally realising that he had no reason to not attend the tryouts and yet he had not attended any “But as I said I will attend them, I promise” there he promised he would even pinky swear. He nodded “I know.. and I will try to make the team” he chuckled a little as he had been saved last term of having to play against Ella cause she was sick but he knew that she wouldn’t get sick every time so he would be against her at some point, her and Mins if Mins attended tryouts in future terms.

Minerva smiled at the hat question. "Oh it's a big badger hat. The thing is huge, I never thought he would let me have it. When I asked he said he would make me one, but then gave me his after the season. I think it was just because he was a seventh year and didn't need it anymore. Wait until you see it though, it's awesome." she laughed at the thought of the hat. She hadn't wore it being on the team last two terms, but it would cause some attention. Then she frowned to herself about the lack of information she was getting on Oakey, "Well I guess if they dated over summer they might still be together. I was just shocked that Laura had a boyfriend, not that I don't think she deserves one, boyfriends just don't seem Laura's thing." Causing trouble seemed to be more her thing, right and Min loved her for it of course. She always wished to be more outgoing like Laura.

Then she gave a shrug, "I'm fine.. I mean I'm upset over it, but it's like whatever. Maybe we needed the space. We are fourth years, no point in getting to serious right now. I'm only fourteen.. So it is what it is and I'll be fine." plus if he was flirting with someone then why couldn't she just move on as well. Then she smiled at the two of them and shook her head, "Oh you might know them, but it's not that big of a deal. They will just have to figure it out on their own I guess." Unless I push them together, Minerva thought. She wanted to figure out away to make them get together, but didn't want to be to pushy. She would wait and corner them both at some point.

Then she laughed at Harvey getting all upset over the Quidditch and Class questions. "Well you are welcome for pushing you into quidditch and you are really good, so you better get on the team again. I want to cheer for you when you are not playing my puffs of course." she smiled, "As for class Harvey Watson, you will be going or I will be pulling you to them." She looked at him with a serious look and crossed her arms. He knew she was never joking about classes.

Maxwell walked toward the willow with a stone in his hand and his wand in the other...but it was far too crowded for what he had planned. So he tossed the stone and spotted Minerva, Harvey and Ella. He wasn't sure it was best to talk to Min, not after the whole thing in the orchard with Elliot. So he sat on the other side of the rabid tree and pulled a book out of his school bag. He was re-reading Peter Pan for what had to be the millionth time.

Ella smiled at Minnie, her smile growing in size as she continued talking about the hat. It really did sound epic. "Wow. Now I really can't wait to see it!" And she was always really happy to know that Minnie would be up in the stands, cheering on their house. Not that she had expected anything less, it was just nice knowing you had friends in the stands. It made her a little less nervous. Then Minnie was rambling about Oakey and Laura and Ella's eyebrows raised a bit. Min sure was interested in that, huh? The question was WHY was she so curious? Ella made a mental not to ask her when they were in private, though she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows at the older badger, quite eager to find out her reasoning for all these questions.

BOY, Harvey sure was oblivious. It was all she could do not to snort as he inquired if they knew the 'random' people that Minnie was referring to. Instead she raised her eyebrows at Minnie, clearly understanding what she was getting at, and followed Harvey's lead. "Yeah Mins, do we?" Meh. The third year nearly groaned as he then went on to say it was a shame that they weren't together. I YI YI. Nothing had changed as far as Harvey understanding hints, apparently. Ella gave Minnie a 'SeeWhatI'mDealingWith?' look and then she looked down. And then the badger was suggesting that 'they' would figure it out on their own. Ells highly doubted that.

Other things on his mind that made him not want to go to Quidditch tryouts? IT WAS QUIDDITCH! "Harvey, what could you possibly be thinking about that would prevent you from going?" She seriously didn't get it and it was puzzling to her, missing a chance to play Quidditch. And then he was promising he'd go next time and that he'd try to make the team. Ells nodded and gave him the teeniest of smiles. "Good."

Minerva smiled thinking about the hat Aaron had given her. She sure missed that crazy older puff. He was so much fun around the common room. She would have to start thinking of her outfit to go with the hat for their first match. If she could not play then she would be the best dressed in Puff colors, of course she would transfigure her hair as always. The pink was starting to get old to her anyway.

Minerva's face then blushed as she saw Ella's face change when she kept asking about Oakey, she wasn't even sure why she kept asking about him. She knew she missed her friend over the summer, but why did she care if he was dating Laura. She looked down it was time for her to feel awkward with her friends.

Minerva then laughed as Ella went along with Harvey, she knew Ella got what she was talking about and just shook her head. She wanted to say don't worry Ella I have been dealing with his ways since first year I understand, but she couldn't in front of him..or could she. She smiled at both of them, "well one is a fourth year Ravenclaw and the other is a third year puff, so like I said you might know them." She couldn't help but give a giggle after that knowing she was pushing way to far,but at the moment that it was fun and had to get the notice off of her with the Oakey conversation.

OOC: Sorry girls he is like that, far too oblivious, plus I thought it would be more funnier to RP. Hope ya don't mind, if ya do let me know and I will change how he thinks make him less oblivious



Harvey listened as Mins answered Ella's question about the hat, he had to admit it did sound like a cool hat. It would be fun to see her wearing the badger hat in the stands. He smiled as Ella said that she couldn't wait to see her hat, even he couldn't wait. He saw her frown as she was asking about Oakey and Laura, even he had to admit that Mins was kinda right. He may not have met Laura but he had certainly heard about her, and he hadnt ever imagined her with a boyfriend. "I guess sometimes these things just happen" he blurted out before he realised it, he looked at both the girls "Sorry, carry on" he smiled, knowing he had interrupted a very important conversation. He saw Ella raise her eyebrows and he wondered why, that was usually when she was curious about something he wondered what had made her curious now.

He listened as Mins said she was ok even though she was upset, he nodded he knew how that felt. But he knew that Mins was stronger about these things than he was, and he knew she would be fine. She was on the right track that she was still young, he nodded again "Yeah you will be fine, you have been through a lot since I have known you and you have come through it just fine. " and hadn't he told her how strong she was just before their second year? So he knew she would be fine even if it would take some time, he just felt bad knowing how it feels to be a part of a breakup. He listened as she said that they knew them, they did? and they would figure it out themselves? Well he would lile to know if they ever do figure it out. "Who are they? Maybe we can help" like Mins had helped him many times before. he would sure love to do that. He smiled as Ella seemed interested in who this cute couple was, so now he had backup Mins would answer his question... right? He saw Ella give Mins a look and wondered what that meant he hadnt seen that before.
He saw the looks that we're passing between the girls but didn't know what they were for, maybe he would ask Mins later. He then listened as she hinted at who the cute couple were, ahh so one was a claw like him and a puff like Ella. "Ahh so just like me and Ella, do you know any third year puff that may like a claw Ella?" he asked her "I know a fourth year claw, her names Taylor but she already has a puff boyfriend so she is out. I wonder who else it could be " he wondered out loud.

He smiled as she laughed at him responding to the questions he was being asked "Did I say something funny?" he asked her chuckling wondering what made her laugh. He smiled and shook his head why did everyone insist in the fact that he was good when he wasn't. "I will try to get onto the team, I hope to give you that opportunity to cheer for me" though he wondered if he would make the team, but he would try his hardest like he always did. Yeah he could imagine her pulling him to classes "I promise that I will be going to classes" he said as she was suddenly serious and crossing her arms, well looked like he was going to have to go to classes even of he wanted to skip a few. He was suddenly cornered by Ella as she asked him what he could be thinking about, oh boy this was one of those times that promising each other to tell the truth no matter wouldn't count. But unfortunately that promise counted in every situation, he looked at Mins for help but knew that she would leave him to it since Ella had questioned him. "Welll ... er... you see... I... erm.... I... was kinda bummed out.. about something.. and.. I er... just .. didnt want to go" ok now he hoped the she wouldnt question what had bummed him out cause that would be harder to answer. He was glad though that he had promised to go, well looked like he would have to go now cause he knew that Ella sometimes attended his practices and tryouts like he often did with her.

Ells was no longer concerned about the hat...or the fact that Harvey awkwardly interrupted their girl talk which she thought was adorable, btw. Right now Ella was focused on Minnie and how INCREDIBLY forward she was being! MEEP. The third year's eyes grew really wide and she didn't dare look at Harvey because she was SURE she was blushing right now. MERLIN'S BEARD, MINNIE! REALLYYY? And the giggle? Unnecessary...totally unnecessary...

What made all of this Worse...or funnier...Ells couldn't decide...was that Harvey seemed to have NO idea what Minnie was even saying. Like fjhskjfhldsjhflfhs! Wasn't he a Ravenclaw? Or maybe it was the whole 'boy' thing that made him hopelessly clueless. Whatever it was, it was ridiculous. And he wanted to HELP this 'poor couple'?! I YI YI. And then...AND THEN...he
seemed to have figured it out and Ella looked down, wondering what his response would be...ONLY HE SHOCKED HER WITH MORE CLUELESSNESS. Yup. Totally a word. Did she know a third year puff that might like a claw? Hmmm...let's see. EYEBROWS. "Only one but she's not so sure anymore." Whoops...This was ALL Minnie's fault. "I also know a puff who might like another puff..." Yup...that was for you, Minerva.

Bummed out about something? What did Harvey have to be bummed out about? Ella raised her eyebrows, knowing he wasn't telling her something. Her curiosity got the best of her and she frowned, looking directly in his eyes. "Spill, Harvs."

Minerva looked between the two of them, OH MY GOODNESS, REALLY... She wanted to facepalm at the moment, but didn't know what to do. These two were never going to get anywhere were they. Should she help them out.. no it was not her place, if she was not going to get involved to much with Taylor and Damon she shouldn't get involved with them either. "Oh I think you could help.." she smiled at Harvey, oh you are so clueless at times my dear friend she thought. "Oh it's not Tay even though her and Damon are no more at the moment." she smiled again and looked at Ella.

She then hid a laugh when Ella's eye grew knowing what Minerva meant and then seeing Harvey be well Harvey... Then she put game on with the puffs. "Hmm who could that be. I'm not sure I know any puffs that are liking each other, but I guess just getting back I haven't heard all the gossip." she then gave a look to Ella and rolled her eyes. "Oh goodness you two" laughing, "You two just make me laugh, Ella I think Harvey is distracted by a CERTAIN girl he likes. Maybe you can help him out with that, but I better get going. I have so much to do." she smiled at both of them knowing she pushed them enough it was up to them now..

He looked at Ella as she told him to spill, just what he didnt want her to say. He took a deep breath looking at her, wondering what to say without lying to her "Wellll erm... er.... 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.

Damon walked down and took a seat, he'd wanted to meet up with Ariana, she said she wanted to talk about something... He had a fairly bad feeling for some reason.

Ariana walked up to damon.. stomped more like it "YOU lied to me.. well not li ed.. but you might as well have"

Damon looked up at her from where he was sitting, "What do you mean?" Then all of a sudden, he knew, "I did not lie, nor did I come close. I told you I liked someone you knew, and when you guesse it was you I did another obvious way of saying yes." He looked at her, "And why are you upset anyways?"

"because you didnt tell me, Damon." she said letting out a sigh. she sat down across from him "I had to hear it from Taylor, it seems that everyone knew it was me.. before me."

"Taylor only found out because her and Maxwell could tell I wasn't telling them something... I didn't want to tell her, and I didn't want to make our friendship awkward after finally getting along." Damon looked at her, "And I wanted to tell you, but I couldn't bring myself to tell you in risk of losing one of my only friends."

She couldn't help but blush slightly 'ohh why now blush why noww!? she thought to herself "so you were afraid to tell me in case i freaked otu and walked away!? Damon, i mean be mean and evil and a slytherin but im still a human and im not that horrible i've proved that to you right?

Damon looked at her, "I just... It isn't that I didn't want to tell you, and I don't think you're evil... But when you hear someone likes you and you don't have the same feelings, it just makes everything more awkward." He sighed, "I'm sorry, Ari... I truly didn't want Taylor to be the one to tell you."

"well seing as how i had 3 days to prosess the information, it's clear to say that things arent awkward. adn yes she told me amongst all her tears and what not... but then we became friends.. it's been an odd week." she smiled at him showing him everything was going to be alright no matter where he wanted to take it

Damon looked at her, "Well, I guess my next question should be obvious... Do you feel the same way?" Damon's eyes went to the ground, knowing her answer had to be no. Why would she ever like someone like him?
