He smiled as she face palmed herself as she said that she was supposed to be a Ravenclaw "You are a Raveclaw" he said to her chuckling, as she blushed before she looked down again, he wondered what was reallly long with Taylor. He watched as she stepped away from him and danced a few seconds before she stopped and looked at him. He felt a strange vibe coming from her "I havent been to many so I dont know how they have been" he said to her knowing that she was still no happiness from her "Taylor come on.. seriously whats wrong? Maybe I can help you with it, pleaes tell me!" he said to her concerned wondering what is wrong with her.

Tay giggled at the ravenclaw thing. She looked at him, "Oh... neither have I actually..." Taylor laughed until he started to ask her whats wrong. Tay instantly started to growl and snarl, "Nothing... just drop it, okay?" Tears came to her eyes and one whimper came out then she went back to being indifferent. "Just no... okay?" Taylor looked away from him and brushed imaginary wrinkles out of her skirt.

Now that she had decided to use a willow tree for her Gandr, Eliza went to the first place she knew of to find a willow. Obviously, the most notorious of all the willows was the Whomping Willow.

She made sure to give it a wide berth, and stood by watching it. It looked almost peaceful when it was undisturbed. If she didn't know any better, she'd have walked right up to it to start asking for its permission. Thank the stars she did know better though, or she'd be flat as a pancake in two seconds flat. So instead of approaching, she just looked around. Do willow trees grow together? Or around each other? Or...Well maybe not. Because they're Weeping Willow trees right? So maybe they grow alone and they're sad about it. She pondered this a moment longer and took a few long strides around the perimeter of the tree. Well maybe I can bring them ice cream as my offering and they won't be so sad anymore!

There really didn't look to be any other willows nearby, so she began heading back towards the castle. Oh! she exclaimed internally as she had a sudden thought. Water! Duh! Willows like water! Soooo... the lake! Here I come! But maybe she should head back and get some ice cream first, and tooootally not just for herself. No, she would share with the tree, because she was nice like that.

He smiled as she giggled at him telling her that she was a Ravenclaw cause it was true or she wouldnt be here in the House of Ravenclaw. He smiled as she said that she hadnt been to any of the classes either "No? and I thought I was the only claw to skip classes, cause you do know that claws arent supposed to skip classes" he chuckled as she laughed. He then saw her growl at him, he was surprised at this and taken aback "Ok.. ok.. I will.. sorry" he said as he noticed some tears "I wont ask anymore... just.. wanted to help. Sorry for upsetting you" he said as he leaned against a tree and just looked at his ice cream before eating some and not looking in her direction. He didnt want her to get more upset from him just looking at her so he decided to eat his ice cream for now.

Taylor laughed, "I know that we arent suppose to but it is just hard not to..." She pouted a little then looked down, sad that he had upset him. Tay looked up at him, "I'm sorry for snapping... and upsetting you... I really am..." Tears fell as she turned and ran in a random direction... just trying to get away from him... so she wouldnt hurt him anymore. Little did she know, she ran into the direction of the willow.

Harvey chuckled with Taylor as she said that she knew that she wasnt supposed to "I know.. its hard not to skip classes when so much is going on at the same tim that you have no choice but to skip the classes." he said knowing why he had been skipping classes. He looked up as she apologised for upsetting him before running away from him. He watched her before realising where she was headed.. the Willow!! She was headed for the Willow, and if she didnt stop she would get hit by that tree!! Without thinking he dropped his ice cream and ran after her "Taylor!! stop! Taylor!" he sped up and grabbed her arm stopping her before she reached the willow "Taylor..watch where you going, you nearly ran into that" he said looking at her but pointing at the tree. His hand still holding her arm as he looked at her concerned that she wasnt looking where she was going.

Taylor blinked and rubbed at her eyes with her free hand. Tay looked to Harvey and then to where he was pointing too. Her eyes widen and she quickly backed into him. "You... you.. you saved me..." Taylor blushed and looked down, not noticing that he still had her arm and that she was basically cuddling into him since she hadnt stepped away after backing into him. Tears came down her cheeks, "Im sorry... I didnt mean to... I... I..." Sobs choked out the rest of what she was saying so she just buried her face into his chest and cried.

Harvey watched as Taylor rubbed her eyes and looked to where he was pointing and he jumped a little as she backed into him not expecting her to back into him. "Well.. I wasnt gonna let you run into that thing! I would probably be put in detention for it.. and then what would people say.. that I didnt stop you?" he said as she looked down and he looked at the tree, and wondered what made her run in this direction. He couldnt even ask her after he upset her not moments ago, was that why she ran here? cause of him? oh shucks! he did not like the sound of that! He heard her cry and looked down again as he heard her apologise and say the rest of her stuff in his chest. He pulled her away "What did you say? Sorry I didnt catch that" he said as he looked at her wondering exactly what she had said into his chest.

Taylor looked at him in the eyes and then looked away, "Nothing... Its nothing..." She tried to wiggle out of his arms and managed to break free before running away from him and the tree... She stumbled and landed on her knees after going about 10 feet or so. Tay decided to stay there so she covered her face and let tears silently fall. Taylor didnt know what the heck was going on with her... She was dating Brodie... she had to keep reminding herself that. No matter how sweet Harvey is, she is dating Brodie... Harvey even said he hated girls so why the heck did she have a mini crush on him? It didnt make sense! She had to stay away from Harvey some how some way... It just has to be done!

He saw her look at him before she said that she said nothing "All that didnt sound like nothing to me" he said before she wriggled out of his hand, he tried to grab her again scared she would run at the tree but he saw she went in the other direction. He watched as she stumbled onto her knees and just sat there. He could see that she was conflicted within herself about something, he sighed and walked towards her before kneeling down next to her "Taylor.. even if you dont tell me anything I can tell something is up." he thought about how to word the next part without upsetting her too much "Look.. if there is anything I can do to help.. just let me know. Cause I can see something is bugging you but you aint revealing and Im not a mind reader so I cant do much" he said to her as he looked around and then back at her wondering what was up with her.

Taylor looked up at him with tears in her eyes, "Harvs... I... I..." She couldnt get it out and she sighed and looked away. Tay covered her face with a curtain of blonde curls, "I... I...." She sighed again then looked at him, "You are amazing... and a real good friend but... I... I... Im sorry okay?" Taylor whimpered and just leaned into him, closing her eyes. She stayed like that for a few moments before pulling away and looking at him. Taylor sighed and looked away but couldnt help but look back at him. She gently took his head in her hands and kissed him.

Harvey looked at Taylor as she had tears in her eyes, he listened as she tried to talk but not being able to get out what she was trying to say. He watched as she looked away and then back at him before telling him that he was a good friend and that she was sorry "Sorry? for what? Why are you apologising?" he asked her confused with her actions today. He looked at her as she leaned into him for a moment or two before pulling away and looking at him. Just then she did something that he was totaly not expecting! She kissed him and he may have almost kissed her back but there were ther reasons for that, but right now he was stunned he didnt know how to react to that kiss. He wondered what made her kiss him, oh shoot! she had a boyfriend! He was sure that kiss was a mistake.. right? "Tay...Taylor.. what...what was that for?" he asked her still stunned, he didnt know what to make of it.

Taylor looked at him and blinked, "I... I... did I just kiss you?" She looked shocked, "What... the..." She scooted away, "I am so dead.. sooooooooooo dead...." She looked at Harvey, wide-eyed. "I kissed you... Brodie... will kill me..." Tay scrambled up, not even dusting herself off. "I am so sorry..." Taylor backed away and stumbled, landing on her butt. She just stayed there, shocked and looking at him. "I... I... I..." She didnt know what to say... was there anything to say?

Harvey just looked at her stunned still, he didnt know what to make of this thing that had just happened. He nodded as she asked if she had kissed him, he watched her scoot away from him as she looked at him also really shocked at what she had just done. He could see that she was panicking and still watched as she got up and then stumbled again and he knew he had to say something but he didnt know what to say, he just sat there watching her trying to think straight. How had it gone from him checking she was ok to her kissing him? He walked towards her "Taylor.. Taylor calm down. If Brodie says anything I will talk to him, Im sure he will understand that it was a mistake. Maybe I will say that you went to get my cheek and I moved at the same time and.... that ...happened" he said knowing that Mins would probably yell at him for helping Taylor but to be honest.. no one knew of this and maybe it should stay that way. They didnt have to tell anyone it would stay between just them two.

Taylor looked at him in shock, "You want me to tell him that it was an... accident? But... but... but... that is a lie..." She looked at him and didnt know what to do so she just whimpered and cried, thinking about how much Brodie will be hurt by this, "What am I to do? He will never trust me again... He will hate me! He would want to break things off... He... He..." She just trailed off and started to sit up, pulling her knees into her chest and buried her face in her knees. Tay started to block out Harvs and the cold snow. She didnt know what to do and it showed.

Harvey looked at her as she looked at him a little shocked at what Harvey was telling her to do. He nodded as she tried to confirm with him what he was saying "A lie is better than the truth.. whatever the truth may be.. even I dont know what the truth is. So the best thing to tell him is a lie." he said to her as she started panicking even more, about Brodie breaking up with her and stuff "He wont, I will explain to him that it was a mistake. He wont break things off with you over a mistake. Nothing about trust in there as you didnt do it intentionally hence it was a mistake" he said to her as she just sat there, he had to do this. Cause there was no way he was going let Brodie break up with Taylor over a kiss that was so obviously a mistake cause he and Taylor were just friends .. right?

Taylor unburied her head and looked at him, "But to lie causes trust to be broken if found out which then causes more problems then if there wasnt a lie to start out with and... and..." Tay gasped for breath and started to shiver. "I dont know what to do..." Tears frozed on her cheeks as she stood up, not dusting off. She sneezed a few times then looked up at Harvey, "What am I going to do? Lieing is bad but if I told him..." Conflict showed on her eyes.

And the hunt continued! This was actually kind of fun, trying to find instances of the golden ratio in her environment. Not that it wasn't difficult, cause it totally was that. Ella just sort of liked finding things. She was a badger and all so it made sense.

Wandering down to the Whomping Willow, the sixteen year old plopped into the grass and smiled a little. She liked it here for reasons. Alec reasons, mostly. Also the weather was starting to change she she enjoyed the way the willow reacted to it. She wasn't here for willow watching or daydreaming about the boyfriend, though. She was here for ratio reasons. Yup. Time to search.

Scan. Scan. Scannnnnnnnn.

...

Moths. Hey! Moths were examples, weren't they? She'd read that somewhere maybe. And she knew that lots of animals were examples of the golden ratio so it was worth investigating. Yup.

The blonde spotted one close by and hesitated for a moment before casting the freezing charm on it. She didn't want to hurt it or anything but getting a closer look without startling it would have been too hard. She approached when it was immobilized, taking out her ruler to inspect what she'd found. Hmmm.

Scribble. Scribble. Scribble.



When Ella was finished with the notes, she released the moth and smiled a little. Nearly done!

Harvey looked at her as she explained how trusts would be broken if they were found out "How would you be found out? who here is going to tell Brodie the truth? Im not and Im sure you wont be telling him. So in that way the lie begins and ends with us, we disguise it as the truth and no one will be wiser to the reality" he said to her as she shivered and still seemed to be conflicted over the course of the plan. He saw her get up as she sneezed a couple of times he got up too "Well right now.. lying is the only path you got. Its either lie or say the truth, which even I dont know. I dont know what made you kiss me, I dont know what is going on with you. So the best bet is to lie. If he found out the truth, we will have to bend it a little so that he wont break things off with you" he said to her cause he knew that it was the only way out of this. "Either that.. or dont tell anyone you kissed me that sound better? Hiding the kiss better than lying?" he asked her as he didnt see much of a choice, it was either tell the truth, lie or hide that it ever happened so they dont tell anyone. No one needed to know.. right?

Taylor looked at him and nodded, "You are right... there is no one here to tell except us two..." She sighed and held out her hand to shake his, "No one will hear about this kiss... this is never happened, ok?" Tay was determined not to say anything about it. "It was a mistake and no one will know about it." She looked away, searching to make sure that no one was around. Taylor looked back at him, "Thanks for... everything." She looked down then finally dusted herself off before looking back up, "I am horrible for kissing you and I am so sorry..."

Harvey was listening to Taylor when he saw that she finally agreed with him, he nodded "Exactly! so no one will ever know that this happened" he shook her hand "Yes.. no one will ever know that this happened" he agreed with her, he nodded to agree that it was a mistake "Thats exactly what it was" he said to her as she looked around to make sure here were no witnesses to what had just happened. Taylor then looked back at Harvey as she thanked him "No worries Taylor" she thn said that she was horrible for kissing him and he didnt know what to say to that "You are not horrible" was all he could say unless there was something else that she wanted to hear.

Tay gave a nod, "Okay... I hope we can still hang... I do like hanging with you... I dont know what got ahold of me there... but no more talk of it." Taylor waved her hand and then smiled and started to dance and sing. The bells on her skirt went back to jingling as the skirt itself flared out. The curls bounced up and down as she danced and twirled. Her laughter rang out and a smile seem to brighten up the day. Her voice lifted and dropped as her Scottish accent became known. The lyrics werent in English but in her native tongue... Gaelic. Taylor had been hiding her accent for ages but she didnt notice when it came out now.

Harvey looked at Taylor and nodded "I think we still can hang out" he said to her "Yes no more talking of it" he agreed cause they didnt need people coming right now and hearing of them talking about someting that never happened at all. He watched as she started to dance and sing, he heard the bells on her skirt. He heard her laugh, he was glad to see that she was feeling much better after what had just happened. He then heard that her song changed to a language that he had not heard before. but he just listened and let her have her fun time. He didnt want to stop her having fun and laughing so he just watched her.

Taylor laughed and threw her arms up in the air. She twirled and danced, forming a circle in the snow. Tay looked over her shoulder at Harvey and smiled sweetly at him, "Come join!" Taylor went back to singing in Gaelic as she danced and spun. The outside soon became a blue as she spun faster and faster. The only things standing out in the misty of the white blur scenery was Harvey and the tree. Soon even those started to blend as she spun and spun. Her dancing became looser and more crazy. The bells started to tinkle faster and the song's tempo sped up in time with her dancing. The rise and fall of the song because steeper and deeper as her hair just stay spread out around her. The music had taken over and she closed her eyes and just danced.

He watched her as she laughed and started to enjoy herself, he was amazed at how just a few words can improve someone's mood this much. He then saw her look over her shoulder and ask him to join, he walked over to her and wondered what to do "Umm I dont know how to join" he admitted going a little shy at admitting he didnt know how to join in her dancing as he watched her spin over and over and wondered if she would fall in a heap on the floor from being so dizzy. She seemed to be at so much peace as he watched her spin and spin and spin. It was good to see that she was or at least seemed happy again
