Kace nodded and made sure to go get Dylan for his late midnight snack run. I mean as long as his fellow puff wasn't asleep. I mean Kace never really went to bed early. He would be staring at the ceiling waiting for sleep that never came. When he mentioned the idea of Dylan trying out for a team, he noticed he fidgeted with the frisbee with his hands. He seemed nervous. Kace smiled and nodded, "I am glad you would join a team. I think we should have a magical frisbee team here don't ya think. We should go talk to Truebridge." he suggested. Let's see what Dylan thinks.

As the big puff was lying on the ground, he noticed Dylan was giving his forehead a weird look. He lay there and felt his forehead pulsing maybeee he did need some ice. "Yeah I think I might need some ice..." he wasn't gonna be the manly man. He may need to swell it down.

"And don't be afraid to wake me up, I tend to crash out like every night." Dylan added with a chuckle. It was true, he fell asleep quite quickly for a teenage boy. Most guys tended to stay awake with thoughts running through their minds, like the meaning of life and all that. Not Dylan, though. It was odd. He didn't mind being woken up, though. Especially being woken up for wings!

A magical frisbee team! Wouldn't that be something? Smiling, the fifth year nodded eagerly. "That'd be cool! I don't see why not." He replied with a shrug. "I mean, if we get a no answer that doesn't mean we can't gather some guys for a game every once in a while." He added. It was true. No one could really stop them from having games of their own.

Frowning, Dylan nodded. Kace probably did need some ice, poor guy. After he helped his friend up, he put an arm around him. "Let's go then," he said, leading him toward the castle to get some ice.

Angel looked at Adi and smiled. "I used to love it when I was at Primary School." Angel thought that it was an amazing sport and she wanted to play it again someday soon, maybe she could get a few muggle friends together this summer.

Angel giggled as she heard what Adi said about Makeup. "Maybe I was just thinking about how good you would look in makeup." Angel stuck her tongue out at her friend as she picture Adi wearing makeup. "Other than that I was just going to make sure my hair was still looking cool, because it feels like it's a bit weird." Angel pouted.

Kace chuckled and reminded himself to wake up Dylan even though he slept like a rock. "Dont worry I will use a blow horn for you and then that might walk you up." he winked and joked. He wouldn't actually do that because that would wake the entire castle. Kace nodded and asked, "Hmm who do you think will be interested in a frisbee team?" Maybe he knew some people.

After deciding to go to the hospital wing, he actually had a better idea! "Hmm I think we can go to kitchens and get some ice. That might be better instead of bothering the nurse.." he grinned and made his way to the kitchens.

James needed a break. He was tired of studying. His girlfriend was gone visiting Amelia or at least he thought she was. Oh well. Walking over to what he now dubbed as his tree he sat against it and looked out at the water. Term was almost over and he was nervous. What if he failed all of his NEWTs? Would they deny his admission to Athens?

Sighing he pulled out a comic book from his bag and started reading it.

She needed a break from all the studying, she knew what she was going into and knew which NEWT's were the most important for her. Her head was starting to ache and finally pulled herself out of the library and just headed down to the lake to get away from it all. There was the theory of studying too much wasn't there? She headed for the lake and looked around for an empty spot. It appeared she wasn't the only one needing a break. UGH, 2 more NEWT's to go and she was done.

TREE! It looked like no one was there from where she was standing and headed that way and moved to sit down and lean against it when she realized...James was there. "Err...hi."

James heard someone sit down near him and smiled thinking it was Vinnie. She was back early. He expected her gone all weekend. Glancing over his smile fell a little as he saw it was Zoe. Well..that was unexpected. "Hi..." Was she talking to him now?

"Haven't seen you around much," he said leaning back against the tree and looking at her. He was pretty sure she'd been avoiding him. A little annoying really but...meh.

When she saw his smile fall a little, she swallowed and bit her lip. Okay maybe she should find....a spot to sit on top of the tree house? That might be empty. Yeah really awkward. "Studying" she said pulling a face "Two NEWT's to go." Yeah that didn't exactly explain the last few months or anything...like since Christmas...but it was the best she had. She looked down at the grass now. The tree house roof was looking like a much better idea now.

"How's your err NEWT's coming along?" she asked conversationally.

Watching her bite her lip he swallowed. Too bad she wasn't Vinnie doing that. He mentally blinked trying to get his thoughts back to the right side of appropriate because Vinnie wasn't there. "Studying? Since December?" Yup that's right he was calling her out. They used to be best friends and now he would hesitate to even call them friends anymore. Friends didn't avoid each other.

He shrugged and picked up a small rock and threw it toward the lake, "3 down, 3 to go." And he was getting tired. If he wasn't careful he might make himself sick. Not sleeping well either. Siiiiiiiigh.

She chewed her lip when he spoke. Yep, she'd been avoiding him, and with good reason in her opinion. It wasn't as if she had anything to really keep her busy other than, eating in the kitchens and avoiding the Great Hall. "Much of it. Not all but much." she said shrugging, "I have to pass charms and well...that's not my best subject." Worst one it appeared at the moment. "But yeah I've been sort of avoiding." What with his girlfriend and all? She didn't exactly want to make her think she was butting in or anything!

She nodded at his words "Well halfway then at least." she said maybe a little too brightly?

James looked down at the comic book in his hand to avoid looking at her. Much of it...yeah...right. "I'm sure you'll do well. I can help you if you want." Wasn't his strongest subject but he was better than her at it and knew it. He sighed and looked at her, "Why have you been avoiding me? I thought we were fine."

"Yeah...I suppose it is..." he said with a sigh and put his comic book back in his bag. "I'm not sure I want it to be over yet though. It's weird...knowing we won't be back here again as students at least."

"I...." She'd appreciate the help, but wondered if Vinnie wouldn't appreciate that all that much? "I'd like that honestly. I mean if I can't stun a dragon, how in Merlin's name am I going to get anywhere with the dragons?" she murmured the last bit. "W...we are. I just...I..." GUH how the heck were you supposed to explain that one? Good job Zoe, tell him you're avoiding him and then not explain it? "I don't feel right...." she finished lamely.

"I know" she said nodding making a face. "And I'll likely never be back. You might...one day..."

James smiled and nodded, "I would be glad to help you. Wouldn't want you to get eaten by a dragon after all," he said with a chuckle. "I'm sure you'll be fine with the dragons though. You're good with animals." He looked at her and sighed, "I'm sorry..." It was kind of his fault after all. He pursed his lips and looked at her. "It wasn't right how I ended things with us. But..." he smiled and picked at some of the grass. "You know how mum and dad always talk about how no matter what happened they knew they were meant to be together? That's...well that's how I feel with Vinnie. I know it's not how it was supposed to go but...well it's how it is." He sighed and threw another rock, "If we're going to be friends still you need to stop avoiding me, Zoe."

He chuckled at the face she made and shrugged. "Maybe. Who knows they might ask me to come teach History at some point." That would be pretty cool actually. Professor Rodemiere. His dad should be proud of that one!

A blow horn? Dylan gave a firm shake of his head, laughing. "Shaking me will be just fine, I promise I'll wake up." He said with his hands up in surrender.

"I honestly have no clue." Dylan said with a laugh. "But out of all the students here, I'm sure some will be down for it. We just gotta get the word out." He said, tossing the frisbee up in the air and catching it with his other hand.

Looking to his friend when he suggested going to the kitchens instead, he nodded. "Whatever feels right to you, we can totally go. Maybe we can grab a snack while we're there." He smiled sheepishly. He was kinda hungry, especially after their whole talk about food and whatnot.

She had a little bit of a look of relief on her face. She really was worried about her Charms NEWT. "That wouldn't be good no." she said with a soft laugh. Yeah she'd rather not be eaten by one! "Smaller ones. That don't breathe fire anyway." she said shaking her head. She had always wanted to work with dragons so she really did want to do it! She swallowed as she listened to him speak, and her eyes dropped a little "It's why I didn't ever question it." she said quietly "I wouldn't ever stop you from being happy. And you're obviously happy with Vinnie." She hadn't been that person for him. "I want to be friends" she said quietly "I just....think distance is better?" she said her eyes looking kind of sad.

She smiled a little at that "It has kind of a ring to it. Doesn't it?"

James smiled and leaned back against the tree. "Well then you won't be burned by the small ones at least. My spell work has gotten a little better so hopefully I'll benefit you rather than hinder." He watched her and sighed. "Why would distance be better?" Wasn't like she could still have feelings for him. If that were true she wouldn't have been avoiding him. "Distance does nothing but hurt friendships. Look at us. We used to be inseparable. You missed my birthday this year. What's next we don't see each other for holidays?"

"It does a little. Professor Rodemiere would sound catchy. Think dad would appreciate that?" Thinking about it...no probably not. He wouldn't be an Auror or a Quidditch player. Siiiiiiiigh.

She smiled a little at that "I have that at least. The little ones I can catch or something or dump water on to put the fire out." She did grin about the help rather than hinder bit. But his next words made her grin slide off her face. "Because I wouldn't get in the way between you and Vinnie" she said quietly. "I don't want her thinking I'm trying to take you from her." After all, he had left her for Vinnie? She knew she'd be skeptical and nervous around a girl who did that to her! "I have been avoiding you so she doesn't get the wrong impression." she said softly. "I'm not here to take you away from her. We'll be apart, for who knows how long, except for owls back and forth....and holidays." she added.

"Maybe?" she said with a little smile again. "You're doing something productive, so perhaps?"

James laughed genuinely and looked at her with a grin "I can picture it. You running around with a bucket of water all frazzled trying to put out fires." It was a rather amusing thought. He looked at her and shook his head. "You wouldn't get in between us. She knows you're my friend. And...I love you Zoe but we aren't going to go back there again. I love Vinnie and one day I want to marry her." Probably not what she wanted to hear but it was true. Who wanted to hear that their ex was in love with someone else? But he wanted his friend back. "Well you're going to be away anyway for your job and my school. You promise? Holidays and owls?"

"You know dad better than that." James laughed and wrapped his arm around Zoe in a hug.

She snorted at his description of her running around with a bucket and putting out fires. "I wouldn't be surprised if that wasn't true." she said with a laugh. "I don't expect to go back there again" she said quietly "That's over." She'd known that from the moment he'd told her he'd kissed Vinnie. Just...wished she'd known that before that even. Like last fall. She just nodded at the part of wanting to marry her one day. That's how things went, wasn't it? Fall in love, move on to bigger and better things in life? "Of course I promise" she said softly. "I wouldn't want it any other way." And that really was the truth. Not even the fact of wanting it back the way it was. Because she knew long before, that was over. Not because she didn't trust him? But because he'd found someone else that he cared about more.

She grinned and shrugged "You can always hope" she said with a smile and hugged him back.

"If it happens someone needs to get it on camera and send me the picture," he said with a chuckle. He nodded as she spoke and went back to picking at the grass. He really did feel bad about what happened. He never meant to hurt her but he obviously did and he couldn't get that back. He would say they shouldn't have dated but he was glad they had. They had spent some awesome times together. "And one day you'll find someone and realize I'm not all that awesome because he'll be awesomer and I'll be the best maid of honor ever," he said with a wink and a smirk. He knew it was true. She'd find someone.

As she hugged him back he grinned. Look a hug! "I can hope. I guess we won't know until that happens. Dad thinks History is a joke of a major." He shrugged and leaned into her a bit.

"I'll burn that picture before you ever get that" she said with a laugh shaking her head "No blackmail for you. Or at least for you to get your hands on that easily." She smiled just a little but didn't believe that much at all. "Of course I will. And I think you'll look great in a dress." she said with a bit of a smirk, instead. She didn't think she'd find someone because she honestly didn't really care to. It wasn't as if she had guys dropping left and right to help her out. Heck in a few months, she'd be covered in burns and scars she was sure, and what kind of guy was going to find that attractive? But of course she wasn't saying anything along those lines because again it was just her and how her mind worked.

She shrugged "It can be a helpful subject, honestly. I've always enjoyed history too. It's not the soft way to go that's for sure. It's not easy memorizing dates and stuff."

"BURN IT?!" Well now that was just rude. "You can't do that to the poor picture it must be seen by everyone!" he said teasing. "Awww I wouldn't blackmail you...maybe..." he laughed and nudged her playfully. "Oh you know me. I look hot in anything." He gave her a wink and looked out at the lake with a smile.

OH! "I didn't show you my tattoo did I?" He turned his back toward her and lifted his shirt up to show the dragon around the celtic cross. "What do you think?" He looked over his shoulder at her and grinned, "Got it after Christmas. Dragon reminded me of you and green because Slytherin obviously..."

She snorted and shook her head "I don't think so." she said with a smirk. "It'll be burned and gone before you can say bludger." Heh! A smile tugged on her lips and she agreed "That and the classiest heels we can find to go with it too." Yeah that day wasn't going to come. It just wasn't. She'd be an old witch with burns and scars to boot one day, it's how she saw herself in the future. And if she was honest with herself, it wasn't that bad really. She knew how to take care of herself, and needed to not dwell on it. As long as Erik didn't nag her about it, she wouldn't really care.

She looked his way curiously when he mentioned tattoo and looked at it in surprise. "It's beautiful!" she said looking it over. She would have touched and or traced it but nope. "It really is. To remind you of me?" she asked softly.

"Awwww you're no fun. Where's the fun Zoe that used to help me mess with Lucas." He grinned at her and saw the smile emerging. HA he did it! He'd take that win. Yup. "Ooooo classy heels. Liking the sound of this already," He laughed and grabbed a chocolate bar from his bag and handed her one as well. "Any thoughts what you'll do after you get tired of playing with dragons?" he said as he took a bite out of the bar instead of breaking it like he usually did. Heh. Some habits he did pick up from Vinnie.

He dropped his shirt and looked at her nodding. "Yup. Had been planning that since the start of term since you're leaving me to go play with dragons," he said half teasing. "Mum doesn't know about it yet though. Not sure if I'll be able to hide it this summer. If you don't hear from me though come save me," he chuckled and took another bite of the chocolate.
