And Lex was following him. That was awkward and strange, and Mo gave the younger girl a look before turning his back on her. Nope. Nope, she wasn't allowed to follow him. She wouldn't get it.

She needed to stay here.

"You should go get me some ice cream and meet me in the Great Hall. I'll be along in a minute. Just want to... like... pick something up on the grounds." He took off again in long strides.

Oh they were moving again!!! Er...he was moving again after telling her to go get him ice-cream. Ice-cream. She wanted some but she also wanted to know where he was going. One didn't simply take off right before practising hexes and dueling not without some super legit reason.

"Come on Felix, we've got Mo!Following to do." She scooped up the kneazle who had only just gotten to her before stalking off after the Ravenclaw.

"HEY! WAIT UP!"

It was bugging her that she didn't know where he was going and she was determined to find out, especially since though he kept telling her not to come he made no actual attempts at stopping her. Pffft, he didn't mind the company, she knew it.

Ronnie walked along to the corridor, a little skip in her step. It was quite a chilly day, but not too cold. Most of the snow wasn't too deep anymore...it was February already. She couldn't believe it. Before she knew it, she'd be out of Hogwarts and off on her own journey. Probably at the Ministry. Sighing, she took a seat underneath one of the opening windows and looked out at the courtyard. Not many people were out today, which wasn't a surprise. It wasn't too warm out or anything.

Harvey was walking through the corridor to the courtyard with his ice cream that he was eating, he kept walking not watching where he was going since he was too busy eating his ice cream. Oh he so loved his ice cream that when he had it he thought about nothing else but the ice cream that he was eating, he would also not know what was going on around him. Due to this fact he very nearly walked into someone sat down since he wasnt looking where he was going. He stopped just in time! One inch closer and he would be bumping knees or something with the person sitting down. He looked down to see who it was that was disturbing him from eating his ice cream and saw that he had taken a wrong turning and was about to walk into a wall if it wasnt for the person

Ronnie looked up as someone bumped into her. "Hey! Watch it-" she began but realized it was....

*gasp*

NO WAY. IT WAS HARVEY!

"HARVEY!" she shrieked, leaping onto him and hugging him, almost knocking him and his ice cream over. "Where have you been?! I've missed you SO much!" she nearly yelled into his ear. She then let go and eyed him, her hands on her hips. "You better have a good explanation for hiding from me!" she told him with a firm nod. But she couldn't keep a straight face and soon burst out laughing. "Naw, I'm kidding. I'm glad to see you again, though. I really missed you." she said as she sat back down again and patted the spot next to her for him to sit.

Harvey jumped as the person that he nearly bumped into started shrieking his name before covering him in a big hug almost knocking him and his lovely loving ice cream to the ground. He just about managed keep his ice cream in his hand without losing it. He was close to covering his ears as she very nearly yelled into his ears. "I’ve been here, around the school Rons" he said rubbing his ears a little and nodded as she said that she missed him. He had to admit that he had missed her too "I..I guess I have missed you too Rons." he said as she asked for an explanation of hiding from her "Well I haven’t been exactly hiding Rons but I will admit... I have been wanting to be alone for a very long time" he said admitting to someone different that he had been through a very rough patch, but he didn’t want think about it right now. He then saw her burst out laughing telling him that she was just joking, he smiled and went back to licking his ice cream that he loved so much! He watched her pat the seat next to her and he sat down next to her. "I’m glad to see you too Rons, it’s been a long time since we have hung out" he said eating his ice cream eagerly as he sat there with Ronnie.

It was odd to realize now that they hadn't seen each other for almost a year now. She cocked her head when he said he had been wanting to be alone. Hmm. She wondered curiously if anything had happened to him, but decided not to be nosy since he looked like he didn't want to talk about it.

"We need to hang out more, Harsv. 'Cause y'know, soon I won't be here anymore." she told him, nodding. Don't cry, Ronnie. DON'T. Just save it for the end of term feast. "There's so much that's happened lately that I've been wanting to tell you!" she suddenly said, remembering he had no idea about her and Jory and...what happened to Oliver. "I guess I'll start with the good part. Did you know me and Jory are together?" she asked, giggling and smiling.

He saw her reaction when he said that he had wanted to be alone, aybe he would tell her why later if she didnt know already. He nodded as she said that they needed to hang out more "Yeah we do" then she said cause she wouldnt be here soon, he hadnt thought of that "Oh wow.. I..I forgot you were older than me" it had always seemed like they were the same age but this was the point where you realise who is older and who is not. He then was surprised to hear her suddenly say that she had lots to tell him, he heard her say that she had a boyfriend now. It seemed everyone was dating!! He was starting to hate it now! but right now back to Ronnie "Thats.. thats great Rons! Its good to see you back on the dating scene" he said to her, it made him feel better knowing she didnt hate him for what he did when they were kids and now she was dating again too! He smiled as she giggled "Im happy for you Rons, I am. You deserve it" he said as he continued to eat his ice cream to make him feel better with the sweetness of the ice cream.

Cat was dawdling. There was a plan to meet up with Mo after the match, but she'd been lagging behind hoping to catch him on his way back up to the castle. With her hands clasped behind her back, she walked along like a slow little turtle and generally enjoyed a quiet moment outside, even if it was still nippy out.

Wasn't winter OVER yet?

Mo caught up with Cat all the way up by the school. She was moving slow, and he was moving fast, but she'd still almost made it back without an escort. Apparently the handshaking and stuffs on the pitch had taken longer than he knew. With his broom propped over one shoulder, it was easy to match strides with her. Easy, even, to reach across and take her hand as he approached her.

"'Lo. How'd it feel to be a Ravenclaw for the first time?"

She'd noticed the presence of another person, but Cat had not actually paid attention to find out who it was. She certainly wasn't expecting Mo to be coming up behind her. She thought with her pace, he'd be ahead.

Cat smiled in greeting and gave his hand a swing, "I feel like my brain has swollen and it's too big for my skull." Hahaha. She laughed at herself because she was hilariously obnoxious, of course. "It didn't suck. I rather enjoyed it. Plus, I'm rather comfortable, so there's that too." She definitely said that as if he'd made the hoodie himself. Kudos to you, Branxton.

"You just called me a big head," Mo pointed out helpfully as they walked. His eyes skittered up the front of the school, and he was reminded that Cat lived in the dungeon and he lived in the tower. They were all star-crossed or whatever. Distance-crossed for sure. He was in no hurry to go inside.

"You can keep it. The hoodie. If you want. It suits you." He was so smooth and good at words all the time. Mo released her hand, hooking Cat around the waist and spinning them both into one of the neat alcoves along the corridor. Not private, but not currently populated by anyone else. "I liked knowing there was someone up there who cared specifically how I played. Just so you know."

Cat paused and thought about that for a second before breaking out into a grin, "Well, if the brain fits." That wasn't necessarily a bad thing though, just meant that he was smart and that was a compliment.

While Mo spoke in short sentences at her, Cat raised an eyebrow, "Oh? Well that'll certainly save me from having to take my sweet time returning it." She tilted her head, "Those towers are just soooo far away, you know?" But all that was definitely to say yes. She did want. "I'll wear it to the next match." You know, the next one he was playing in, of course. She leaned against the wall and reached out to steal his broomstick, really just because she could. "You played well, too. Tough luck that you guys lost. I was cheering though, I promise." Obviously it wasn't like he could actually hear her anyway, but it was the thought that counted.

"It isn't as if you would have had to return it right to my doorstep, though," Mo let go of Cat's waist and leaned back against the pillar behind him. Grinning. And leaning. Both at the same time. "I would have met you half way. Or in the Great Hall. Or really any random spot, because you're worth meeting up with." Mostly, except when she was making fun of the size of his head.

"You'll wear blue... to the Ravenclaw and Gryffindor match?" He was flattered, considering she had Gryff friends and stuff. "You're a good fan to have. No wave, but there was cheering. You ought to get some of those pom pom things, though. Those are keen." And she could paint her face. But she wouldn't.

Uh huuuh. Well, Cat had only been messing around with the tower thing. It wasn't like they never ever saw each other about anyway. "Well, you already said I could keep it so that is what I am going to do, until you need it back, that is. You can't have it now anyway. It's too cold." She crossed her arms and just grinned. She knew she was worth meeting but it was always nice to hear. "That's because I always have food."

Yup.

Hmmmmmmm. Ravenclaw and Gryffindor. "Oh, well, that's rather problematic, isn't it?" Had to support Alice too, of course. Especially since she was the captain. "Well, I'll have to wear something red too, for Alice." She shrugged, "I'll figure something out, it's not my fault that I'm in demand of the people." Bahaa. Or maybe she just liked to think she was. "Alice cheered for you too, I heard her, except she called you cactus." Which was lulzy. "If I had pom poms I'd probably hit people with them."

Ponder that. Maybe she SHOULD get some, that would be fun.

"Keep it," Mo agreed. He'd only been funnin' with her anyway; he wanted her to have it. "I'd say we need to do a trade, but there's nothing of yours that I can wear." Unless she channeled Elise and tried to get him to wear a fringed scarf. In which case, the answer was probably no.

His brow wrinkled at her confusion over loyalty to Ravenclaw OR Gryffindor. "Yeah, Alice calls me Cactus, and I call her Ace. I bet she'd be willing to let you paint your face half red and half blue. That's got my vote." Although Cat didn't seem like the face-painting type. "Or you could wear the Ravenclaw sweatshirt with a Gryffindor scarf. I suppose that would work too." But he really would have liked to have seen her hitting people with pom poms.

Cat just grinned. Grin. Grin. Grin. That seemed to be the thing she just did like all the time. Maybe she was just a happy person, yep, going with that. Heh. "Oh come on, you know there's got to be something. Put that big brain to work, boy." She was starting to think it might be beneficial for her to have a Ravenclaw near at all times. There was nothing wrong with benefiting from their brains if you were nice to them, right?

She touched her face in thought. Mo wanted her to paint her face, huh? "You never know, I do like to surprise." She picked up his broomstick and poked him with it. "I'll figure something out, maybe you'll just have to wait and see." Poke. Poke. "Besides, I'm pretty sure blue is a good color on me."

She laughed softly. "I forget it too, sometimes. It's quite sad, really. But I'll be around Hogsmeade when you go on the weekends." she told him with a little nod. It was weird, knowing she wouldn't be here next year. She couldn't believe it! She was almost done with school. And then would come the Ministry. If she got the job, that is.

Smiling, she gave her friend a hug as he said he was happy for her. "Thanks, Harvs! It means a lot." she said, thinking to herself from when they had dated. It was odd how long ago that was, and it still made her wonder why she hadn't hated Harvey for what he did. For some reason, she still wanted to be friends. Probably because she had known him for so long and didn't want that ruining a friendship...yeah, that was it. She looked at him as she thought and couldn't help but finally ask what he had been thinking about early. "So, Harvey," she began. "You looked a bit...upset or concerned earlier when we ran into each other. Like you were thinking about something. Anything wrong or that you wanna talk about? I'm here for you." The red-head nodded reasugginly, hoping the boy was okay.

He looked at her as she laughed a little as she explained that she would be in Hogsmeade "Yeah? that would be cool! then we can have a butterbeer or two together!" he said nodding as he thought about it. Cause it would be weird not being tackled by a red headed girl anymore, he wondered what she was going to be doing once she left school. But he didnt ask her that yet cause they still had months of hanging out before they reached that point of separation. She gave him a hug as he said he was happy for her "No worries Rons" he said to her smiling. Now at least he knew how she felt when he broke up with her and he thought that if she could find happiness again then he could too right? He wanted to apologise for that but that was years ago so would seem weird so he kept quiet and just nodded. He noticed that she had somehting that she seemed to be dying to ask and was wodnerng what he was when she asked him. He looked at her and shook his head "Nah I was just thinking of some stuff that is now my past you know. How things have changed from the way I had planned them, but Im not upset or concerned.. just.. accepting what is now my life. That all" he smiled as she said asked if he wanted to talk about it "Nah not really I mean there is nothing to talk about you know. Its just a normal everyday boy dates girl and then boy and girl breakup ...leaving them both hurt" he sighed a little as he did his story very briefly "Boy gets hurt a lot more than girl as he blames himself for the breakup and it takes him a very long time to heal" he continued unknowingly as he stared into space before turning back to her "But all is good now.. soon I may be ready to date again" he said looking at her and nodding.

Butterbeer! YES! "I'd love that! I'll be sure to meet you there then. Oh! And owl me as much as you can! I wanna know what you're up to and all." she said. At least there were ways she could stay in contact with her friends. She was very glad for that.

She frowned as he explained what was wrong. "I'm sorry, Harvey. It'll all be okay though, I promise! Just keep your chin up." she said, giving him a comforting hug. "May I ask who this is you're talking about?" she asked quietly. Poor guy. He looked so sad... she wished there was a way to make him feel better. Perhaps more ice cream or something? Heh.

He smiled as she said that she would love it "Me too. I look forward to meeting you there. I will! I got to keep you upto to date on stuff.. like if I get upto mischief or start doing other cool things" like dating agian which he didnt mention out loud of course. He just couldnt wait to see her reaction when he would tell her stuff cause that would be funny to see.

He saw her frown as he explained his story very briefly, he smiled as she said that everything would be ok "I know it will be, its just you dont see it that way at first you know" he chuckled as she she said to keep his chin up and he raised his chin so that he was looking at the sky "What? like this? cause that way I cant see you and everyone else then" he chuckled as he joked around with her a little. He then heard her ask who the girl was, he looked at Ronnie and then down at his hands "You can know.. it was... Ella" the one person that he felt was the love of his life until they broke up and everything went downhill from there until he fixed himself "But it was my fault anyways so I dont blame her for anything, Im just sad she was hurt cause of me. But Im glad she is happy now, I think she is in love with someone else now" cause she had been in love with Harvey before cause she had admitted, and he was in love with her too. He didnt know if he still was but he knew that he still had feelings for her even if he was trying to get passed them

Something what? Some article of HER clothing that he could borrow to wear? His big Ravenclaw brain could work for hours and hours, but he wasn't going to come up with something on his own. He wasn't that familiar with her wardrobe for starters. Nothing was coming to him, so he'd let it go and trust that the subject was dead.

"D'you like that broom? Ellerby and Spudmore. My sister got it for free for doing some work for them, but she'd already graduated, so she gave it to me. It was their new model last year." Not to brag or anything. Except he totally was. He loved that dumb broom. "You want to go for a ride sometime?"

"I do like it." Cat considered the broom and nodded, "It's very nice." And apparently free, which always made things better, especially nice things. She set it on her shoulder like Mo had and grinned. He obviously wasn't getting it back until they left this corridor. Unless he just took it of course, obviously. "I've never met your sister." Obvious Cat was obvious. "But I've heard mention of her."

She cast a glance out at the cold day, looking back towards where she'd come from and avoided the castle ahead entirely. "I would. Some day, not today. It's too cold today." Cat leaned forward and put her hand on Mo's fuzzy cheek. See? Coooold.

Though that didn't mean she wanted to go inside yet. She would stay until the very moment that she turned into a snow!Cat.

She laughed. So Harvey was still his mischievous self. Good! She was glad of that. She couldn't wait to hear what he was up to, and hopefully he'd get a girlfriend or something soon so she could tease him like crazy. Yes, Ronnie was going to tease Harvey. 'Cause that's what she did best. MWAHAHAHA.

The red-head laughed when he lifted his chin. He was so silly! And then it got serious. Oh, right. Ella. Frowning, Ronnie gave him another hug. "I'm so sorry, Harvey. I know it's hard, but eventually it'll all be okay. I promise you that." she said, giving him a comforting squeeze and then letting him go. "I know it's hard letting the people you dated go. I've been there." she said, her voice a little quieter.

"Who exactly is mentioning my sister?" Mo captured Cat's hand between his and rubbed it lightly to warm it back up. Not really what she was looking for, but he supposed it would have to do until they headed inside. Lucky that Cat didn't seem to be in any big hurry. "I have two sisters, actually. Vivi went here, and some people might still remember her. If it was Alice who told you about her, you probably shouldn't believe it all. Vivi is occasionally a decent human being."

But she was also occasionally hard on Alice for reasons. "Your hands are cold." Well, obviously. He blew warm air across her knuckles.
