Dylan noticed her tears and he frowned. Nonono please don't be sad. He quickly put his arm around her, letting her head rest on his shoulder. He then moved her hair out of her face and then began stroking it as she spoke. "Oh, Bleu," He said, kissing the top of her head. "I'm really sorry. Hey, as soon as you get home, owl the school, alright? I'm sure they'll find it. It has to be somewhere... necklaces don't disappear out of thin air. I promise." He gave her a squeeze. "As for the summer, I know. I'm kinda bummed too and I'm gonna miss you like crazy... but hey, we get to hang out a few times, isn't that good?" He said. "Let's make the time we got together right now, alright? I'm here for you." He told her. "And so is Ginger." He grinned and pointed to the cat who was sitting on the seat across from them, her head cocked to the side.

"Now," He said, tilting her chin up with his finger and meeting her eyes with his. "Where's that beautiful smile? I haven't seen it yet." He did his famous pretend pouty face when he said this, wiping the tears on her face away with his thumb.

"Fine. Don't deny or confirm." But she saw through those defensive eyes. Yes, she did. But she didn't want to get into touchy and feelsy stuff so she didn't press.

He wanted to go to the Prefects' compartment, the place she'd avoiding. "What for?" But she was already standing up as she asked. Maybe it'd be better with Cutty there. Adi was bound to have arrived as well.

"Fer the gossip." Of couuuurse. He'd gotten to his feet a little after she did and stuffed his books into his bag. "We didn't even get to make fun of Christmas this year. Well,...not together. I had to do it with a house elf. She wasn't takin' a fancy ter me doin' it tyther. I think she may have rotted me pumpkin juice a bit too fer it." It was his fault, though. For being scarce and studying. He'd said it was OWLs, but it was more than OWLs.

Plus, maybe Caleb would be in there too.

"The gossip, how could I have forgotten that?" She put a hand over her heart then nudged him and stood at the door. She could care less for gossip but she'd humour him. "Where were youuu? Jere isn't much fun when it comes to making fun of Christmas." She shot Cutty an almost disappointed look. "He actually quite likes it." Which made it odd when she was bashing on it while Jere sang Christmas carols.

For the heck of it, Beverly thumped Cutty's arm. "Next time look for me, okay. No need for elves and rotted pumpkin juice." Did he get that? Or she'd drag him from his dorm and sit him at the Great Hall and they'd have a pleasant time making fun of Christmas.

Bleu relaxed in his arms. He always knew how to make her feel better about any situation. That necklace was so important to her. He was right though the school should be able to find it, hopefully, fairly quickly. She took a deep breath, "You're right...it just means so much to me if anything happened to it i would be so angry at myself." She already was pretty angry at herself as it was. And he was right again. That was her plan before she lost that necklace...to spend as much happy time as she could with him. This whole day just turned to crap when the necklace disappeared. "Okay." When he pointed at the cat she looked. What a gorgeous cat!! "Oh, Ginger!" She picked up the cat and placed it in her lap giving her a good rub down. "Sweet kitty." She snuggled her close.

She gave a small giggle into a smile at that pouty face. He was too adorable. "You could get anything you wanted with that face I am sure of it." She smiled more and gently kissed his cheek.

Dylan frowned. That didn't sound quite right... to him, at least. "Bleu, I don't think you should get mad at yourself about that... it just doesn't seem right. Sometimes these things happen. There's no need to waste time getting mad at yourself about it, that'll just make you sad." He explained. He hoped she wouldn't take that the wrong way and get even more upset... he really just hoped it sounded right to her like it sounded to him. The Badger hated the thought of her being mad at her own self.

A side smile appeared on his face when she lifted Ginger and pet her. The orange cat purred with delight, rubbing her head against Bleu affectionately as soon as Bleu had picked her up. "Gee, she really likes you," He said, chuckling as she pet her. They were sweet together and Dylan was glad they finally had gotten to meet.

When she giggled at his pouty face, he grinned. He knew he'd get something out of her! "There we go, there's that beautiful smile...and a giggle! That's a plus!" He beamed. And then he nodded confidently, crossing his arms across his chest all proud-like. "Yeaaaah, I know," He said like it was nothing... but it totally was something! He smiled again (gosh he couldn't stop smiling, his cheeks were starting to hurt) when she kissed his cheek. "Will it really get me anything?" He suddenly asked. "Liiike...say, maybe another kiss?" He smiled sheepishly before doing his pouty face again. He was quite the actor, wasn't he?

Dylan was right it was silly to be mad at herself. Maybe it had just fallen out of her bag and she just hadn't seen it. She was frantically packing after all. Maybe it was somewhere in her bags that she hadn't really checked. "You're right. I just really hope I overlooked it. It just means so much to me you know." She sighed.

She really wished she could have a cat. Her mother wouldn't let her though. Only one animal was allowed and Lumi had his own space outside in their rooftop garden. "Oh, I love cats so much. My mother will only let me have my owl though. I love him but what I wouldn't give to have one of these precious babies. You can't really snuggle an owl." She snuggled and rubbed Ginger more. She was so sweet.

She giggled more. He was too much sometimes but she loved it. She laughed at his request and the pouty face again. Grinned she said, "You don't have to make a pouty face to get a kiss from me." She gave him a small peck on the lips. She wrapped her arms around him and hugged him. "You always know how to make me feel better. Thank you." She kissed his cheek before resting her head on his shoulder.

He nodded, understanding what she was saying. "I understand. But yeah, maybe you did overlook it. Wanna double check?" They had time and all anyways. The fifth year glanced up at her stuff and then back at her.

"Aw, that's lame. I'm sorry. Well, you can spend as much time as you want with her," He told her with a smile. "Really. You can take her into the girls dorm for a week or something." He suggested with a shrug. He really didn't mind and was sure Ginger would love a little sleepover. And he trusted Bleu fully, and he could see Ginger did too, who was curled up sound asleep in Bleu's lap.

Raising his eyebrows, he smirked. "Really?" He asked, smiling against her lips. "Good. 'Cause this pouty face takes a lot of work, y'know." Dylan joked before she suddenly pulled him into a hug. He wrapped his arms right back around her and replied, "Well, I know you better than anyone else. I'm always here for you. It's no problem."

Bleu glanced up at her stuff, "No it's ok. I will wait till I'm home. I have so much stuff I don't want to make a mess in the train." But she would go through every possible place in her mind the whole way home.

Bleu smiled when she looked down and noticed Ginger sleeping in her lap. She just loved cats...maybe she should have gotten a cat instead of an owl. But she needed her owl more than a cat right now. "That would be great! I would love to. I can't wait to spend time with her this summer too." She rubbed the cats ears and felt her purr against her leg.

She just giggled and shook her head. He was too cute for words. She snuggled up close to him. She loved being wrapped up in his arms. He always smelled so good and she always felt so comfortable with him. "Well, I am always here for you too." She wrapped a tendril of his hair around her fingers and relaxed a little more. "I can't wait for our trip to Liverpool you're gonna love it." She couldn't wait to have him over this summer. Though she hadn't told him just how big her house was yet...she would have to save that for another day.

"Oh, okay. Let me know if you change your mind." Dylan said gently with a reassuring smile as he leaned back into the seat. Ah, the train seats were always so cozy.

The fifth year beamed, glad she liked the idea. "Perfect! I think Ginger will be happy to do that too." She needed some girl time anyways. Poor thing was always surrounded by boys, and he could understand how that'd get tiresome.

When she told him she was there for him too, he smiled and relaxed a little with her in his arms. "Thanks, it really means a lot." He told her. It really was nice, having someone like Bleu to depend on and vise versa. Closing his eyes, he relaxed even more as she played with his hair. He liked when she did that. And, at the mention of Liverpool, his eyes slowly opened. He had almost forgotten they were going! It was so hard not to jump up and down like a crazy fangirl right now. "I can't wait." Was all he said, in the most calm voice he could, even though he was squealing on the inside.

Bleu nodded, "Will do." She relaxed into him. She loved just being able to sit like this with him. It was so nice. She smiled at ginger, "Of course she would. Having to be around boys for so long must make her crazy." She knew if she were surrounded by that many boys for a whole 9 months it would make her crazy too.

"Always." She smiled looking up at him. She continued to play with his hair. It was just so soft and pretty she couldn't help it. But when he barely made a comment about going to Liverpool she stopped and looked at him with the most critical face she could muster. "Excuse me...I am taking you to the birth place of the biggest band ever in existence, who also happen to be your favorite band and you say 'I can't wait,' ever so calmly. I know you are fangirl screaming in your mind right now." She giggled at the image in her mind.

"Yeah, that's what I was thinking. I'm sure we can be pretty obnoxious." Dylan sighed with a laugh. "She does seem to like my friends that are girls better than my friends that are dudes. Funny, isn't it?" He told her.

He felt so relaxed with Bleu playing with his hair that he could probably fall asleep right then and there. In fact, he was just about to, when she suddenly said something that made his eyes shoot open. No. She did NOT just say that! Did she really know him that well?! Merlin's beard, that was creepy! It was as if she was like...like a psychic and just read his mind! "N-no!...I mean, I'm excited but I'm not fangirling in my mind. Don't be silly. You know I'm not like that." He denied this with a firm tone which quavered a little.

Bleu giggled. Generally all females stuck together...though there was always more drama when that happened. It was good to have guys around, sometimes. "It's probably because she's around boys all the time. I'm sure once she gets to hang out with me in the girls dorm occasionally she wont mind either way who is petting her as long as she's getting attention." Oh, cats. They are a fickle breed.

She laughed at his response. He was totally fangirling in his mind and he knew it. "You little liar. You know you are. You are a bigger fan than I am. Don't be ashamed to admit when you are fangirling. Just makes you hotter." She grinned and poked his sides to tickle him.

"True," Dylan mused. "She does love attention." He chuckled. Ginger really did love attention, she was such a friendly cat and loved being the center of attention.

Dylan was blushing now, it was getting harder and harder to keep lying about it. Finally, he broke. "Aw, fine. Maybe I am sort of a fangirl." He muttered quietly, giggling as she tickled him.
