Gaston kept a smile plastered on his face as Jordan talked about his recent expedition and his plans to join the Ministry. "That sounds like fun," he said. A lot more fun than his own life at the moment... Or at least the expedition part sounded fun, maybe not the Ministry. He'd worked at the French Ministry before, and it was a nightmare! "Will you be joining the Magical Creatures department or something else?"

"They are," he replied when Jordan mentioned things with him and Rosalyn. Well, maybe good wasn't the right word. Things hand't been the same with them since that fight he'd had with his father over the summer, but they were starting to get better. "If you're lucky, you might just get an invitation to the wedding," he said with a chuckle. Well, if there was still going to be a wedding after all that had happened... His smile faded a little at what was said next. "Things are... fine," he said. Yeah, fine aside from having a boss that set his teeth on edge and students who despised him... not to mention the identity crisis brought on by his father's disapproval. But Jordan didn't need to know all that.

He smiled when Kay greeted him back. "I hope things are going well for you, Kay," he said politely before turning his attention to Miss Diggory.

"I understand. Have a pleasant weekend, Miss Diggory!" he said with a small smile. Maybe he should follow the Slytherin's example and excuse himself as well? He was starting to feel like he was intruding on a private conversation between Kay and Jordan...

What's it to you? You're happy with your single life.

Jordan let out a dry laugh. Yeah, he had been single for quiet a long time since things didn't work very well with his last boyfriend. Although it's been like six or seven years since that but still, being single was the best option for him. "To be fair, you're also single. Or have you found someone on your summer holidays?" Brows.

He did hear from Evan about how the professors at Ilvermorny were strict but being born as American, the former professor knew exactly how the teenagers there behaved. "That's good, then." Jordan nodded. "And how are other things beside the Ilvermorny visit and competition?"

He turned to Gaston as he asked if he's going to join the department of magical creatures. "It looks like there's no other place for me besides that." Especially with his background with magizoology study and being a professor of care of magical creatures. A wedding invitation? Wow, that escalated quickly. "I am totally looking forward for that. Congratulations for being engaged then." Did Jordan say this before he left? Probably not.

Hearing Skylar called him anything, He let out a chuckle. "Alright, I hope you have a good day, Miss Diggory!" Jordan said to the Slytherin girl. By the way... Where was his nephew?

Juno looked up at him with a sad smile and said, "It's terrible, but I am managing." Honestly, she was just going from class to class doing what she needed to do to make sure she was able to get into the YATI program and be with him next year. She couldn't wait for this term to be over with and graduate from Hogwarts. She loved this school and the friends she had made, but it was dull and gloomy without him.

She grinned and gave a small chuckle, resting her check on his hand as he gently touch it. "Somehow I'm not surprised. But it's okay. You are training hard and it's understandable. Besides, I would rather have you late than not have you at all." She smiled and kissed his nose.

She grinned hugely at that comment, flushing just a little. She wondered if she would ever get used to him saying that to her. Probably not, but she appreciated him all the same. "I don't know about being the prettiest...but I definitely have the hottest boyfriend alive." She grinned, wagging her eyebrows at him.

SPOILER!!: Jordan! <3

Kay punched Jordan again on the arm. He knew quite well why she was single still. She wasn't holding it against him though. "Was that your way in finding out if I'm no longer single?" she teased. "I haven't met anyone but I'm moving on.'' Actually, she wasn't because her feelings for him had intensified instead of diminishing as she had hoped. What was wrong with her? Also, she was relieved that he too was still single.

"Everything is wonderful. Nothing crazy has happened. I think the tournament is enough since we've all got a lot on our hands.'' So Jordan was going to be applying for the Creatures department. Kay thought that it was a great idea for him to be working at the Ministry. "What have you been up to, anyway? You got too busy for an old friend it seemed.''

Emphasis on the 'friend' but it was only as usual... teasing.

Leon smiled sadly down at his girlfriend, he missed her as well, so much. He had been training harder than ever in order to keep his mind off of how much it hurt with her not around.. "I'll try to mirror you more often, and Christmas is coming soon! We can spend a few days then together? Are you going home?" He asked her his tone hopeful..

He smiled as she rested her cheek in his hand and he leaned down to kiss her nose gently. "I am sorry, I slept right through my alarm and put on the first thing that I grabbed, which is why I look like I'm going running instead of going on a date. " He explained as he gently stroked her cheek.. he just wanted her to make sure knew he hadn't forgotten her.. he had been so excited the night before!

"Mmmm, well I'm here and we are going to have the best day ever, yeah? " He said as he grinned at her..

Leon smiled warmly as Juno flushed, the sight warming his heart.. though at her words, it was his turn to flush and he reached up to rub as his neck. "I'm not all that Jun.. you are the hot one in this relationship. " He said with a grin.

Breathe. Just breathe. Everything was going to be a okay. No, more than a okay. This was going to be fun and she was really excited!

Olivia Holden had felt incredibly nervous about this date since the moment she woke up this morning. Throughout the day, she had sent messages to Noelle and Etta and Mel making sure that her outfit was somewhat sensible for the outdoors but also fashionable. She finally set her sights on an outfit and then checked her appearance in the mirror. Alright. This was good. She felt comfortable with this and she felt more like herself in this outfit than the previous ones that she had tried on.

And then she headed down to Hogsmeade to meet up with Ace. On her way, Olivia thought about what had happened a few days ago. Merlin. Ace. Butterflies beat their little wings in her stomach rapidly when she thought about him and what she had done. She still couldn't believe that she had finally approached him about plans for today and he had totally turned the situation around to ask her out on a date. She had been nervous and thought that the idea of asking him about his plans was completely foolish and a terrible idea but... it had worked out and the more she and Ace discussed today's events the less nervous she felt. It felt... right ...in a sense? If that made any sense, she supposed. There was nothing to worry about. It wasn't like they were going to Madame Pudifoots or something. OH MERLIN. Olivia was REALLY glad that she and Ace had decided against Madame Pudifoots. The whole idea of a date there seemed a little over the top and uncomfortable.... She had always walked past the shop but had never dared venture in because she didn't really have a reason too.

She felt more butterflies in her stomach and so she took a deep breath as she walked onto the main street of Hogsmeade and began admiring the architecture. A smile tugged at her lips. It was beautiful and Olivia felt more relaxed (and still a little nervous but the nerves were beginning to disappear).

Lights and a stage, magicked to keep the snow off, were set up in the middle of the busy and bustling High Street of Hogsmeade. Now, what could this be?

A banner rolled down above the stage and flashed the name "SIX STYX". The lights blinked awake to shine colorful beams. All the while, some instruments were appearing on the stage, one by one. A keyboard, a drum set, a bass, and finally a guitar.

Will you stay to find out what's happening in Hogsmeade tonight?

Brent had arrived in Hogsmeade a few minutes early, because he figured the guy being late for a date, especially on Valentine's Day, would probably just be really lame. He had thought about walking Skylar over here, but apparently she had a ton of things to do before meeting up with him. Something about a friend's birthday or something like that. He took a seat on a nearby bench, a rose in one hand and a tiny, wrapped gift in the other hand.

He had a few surprises up his sleeve. Two, of course, were already in his hand. The third was that he'd already reserved them a table at Madame Puddifoot's. Apparently, it was the place to go when you had a date on Valentine's Day. Speaking of which, all he needed now was that date, and they'd be all set to go. He peered over his shoulder, figuring it was about time for her to show up.

Just as he thought that, lights began blinking and music began playing. A but startled, as he wasn't expecting anything of this sort, Brent stood up and turned toward the commotion. It looked like a band was about to start playing. Cool, man! He had no idea who Six Styx were, but apparently they were about to put on one awesome show. He could deal with some music while waiting on his girl to show up.

So there was apparently a band playing in Hogsmeade on Valentine's...the weekend of, at least, and Lucy and Teddy were both going so of course JACOBI WOULD BE THERE. She had left a teddy bear on Arkan's pillow, just for the kicks because she knew it would tick him off. Heh. She'd even put a little charm on it with her initials. Lord, she would be in for it later, maybe.

Jacobi was bundled up, hadn't really TRIED to look cute, and smirked as she approached...the band area. Um.

WHERE WAS EVERYONE?

Why hadn't she walked here with Teddy? Who knew. But she was here now and hopping around to keep warm. Pffft.

Why was she here again? Oh right she had finally forced herself out of bed and decided she needed to take a walk or well apprate to Hogsmeade to take a walk. Knowing Roman and her had plans later in the day, she took advantage of knowing it was a Hogwarts weekend and came prepared. She had balloons to embarrass a certain friend and chocolates.

Now, where was she going to find her?


She didn't have to look far though, "HEY JACOBI.... BE MY VALENTINE." She gave a small smirk as she walked up to her friend and handed her the stuff. "Though you might like a few treats today." Her eyes moved to the band setting up, "Whats going on here?" They where to old to be students, but Natalia was game to see what was going on.


Khara had needed to go to Hogsmeade, she wasn't one to ever be there and seeing all the students she regretted coming today,
but she needed to pick up a few things and one of the zookeepers enjoyed going to lunch here. She hadn't even realized exactly what day it was,
until she saw the students.

Valentine's Day!

That was just another day for her. She had no interest in it and she wasn't going to partake in buying any themed candies. No, she was going to get through the crowd and head to meet her friend. Though she wasn't going to get far because something was going on and she couldn't seem to get around easily.

Moving towards the front of the stage area she looked up and that's when she saw him. Why today? Why now? What the hell did she do wrong in life that she was going to have to run into Sleater on Valentine's Day. He wasn't someone she liked anymore, nor was he someone she could even stand to be near.

She was just going to turn and get the hell out of there quickly.

Teddy held on to Lucy's hand as they approached the area where the poster had stated the band would be. In all honesty, Teds wasn't in the greatest mood. She hadn't been since her elimination. Just the thought of it was building the devastation again in the pit of her stomach. However, she could tell that Lucy really wanted to come down and who knows, maybe it'll be good for her.

It looked like not a lot of people had arrived yet or maybe the band wasn't that well known. "Look, there's Jacobi." She gestured to Lucy, leading her towards the other girl.



Sleater peered out from behind the back screen of the stage. Much like the other night in Godric's Hollow, there wasn't that many people who showed up. No matter. The American-born wrockstar jumped in place to shake off his nerves and the wanting-to-puke feeling, before running onto the stage with his band.

He swallowed, trying not to look at the faces of the people there just yet. "Hi!" The 23 year started, "For those who don't know who we are, which might be everybody, we're Six Styx and we're here for as long as we can be before we're kicked off." He grinned, looking back at his drummer. "We forgot to ask for a permit."

Sleater donned on his guitar, strumming no notes in particular, "We're going to start off with covers mostly because we're afraid you'll leave if you hate our original stuff." This time he did look at someone in the crowd, grinning. "This first song is called 'Miracle Aligner' and it's by The Last Shadow Puppets."

Oi! Valentines at Hogsmeade. Crowds galore. There was even a concert. What was he expecting?

Tenacius tiptoed a bit trying to figure out where Vi was. Thankful for his growth spurt over the term, he had a better vantage point than he's ever had in years. No more scrambling over benches and flower boxes just to see better. He had actually spotted her making her way down the pathway out of Hogwarts but thought he can still catch up with her after a quick detour for the kitchens. And now he cant find her anymore--

-- oh wait. There she is! "Hey Vi!" he sprinted towards the wavy haired Gryffindor. "Happy Hearts Day!" he grinned and presented her with what he detoured the kitchens for "For you." beams.

"THÉO, LOOK THERE'S A BAND!"

Wearing only a Horde-emblazoned jacket over her usual red tee, Sylvie pulled her friend by the arm and towards the gathering in the middle of the street. She'd been planning to go and make fun of older kids and their stupid Valentine things but this was obviously so much better AND, a LIVE band. She hadn't been to Hogsmeade a lot but in the little that she had there's never been a BAND.

HOW EXCITING.

Blinking as they neared the group, the blonde turned to Théo with a confused frown. "Do you know that band? They're saying the name as if I'm supposed to know who they are..." she asked, trailing off only to gasp in surprise, eyes wide. "Wait! Are there magic bands?! Like, for wizards and witches ONLY??"

Bouncing around Théo, she offers a double handed wave to the band because they seemed cool and she was a very nice person obviously. "HELLO!"

Théo was already out of chocolate thanks to his cousin and him eating the remaining few already so he was here to get some for him and Sylvie. Well that was the plan and whatever else Sylvie wanted to do. Since what were you suppose to do on Valentines Day besides eat chocolate. What is a band doing in Hogsmeade and on Valentines Day??? Double Weird. Where they just going to sing love songs or something. Because Théo would just drag Slyvie away if that was the case.. Yeah.... Nope did not know this band. Which was not a surprise since he only knew like three bands. Maybe he heard a song by them. Who knows.

"Nope. Yeah the ones i know are The Dead Kneazles, Agromantula, Glitter and Dragon. Sure there are more. You want to stay and listen or get some butterbeer?"

Or just stay and listen.

Théo smiled. He would stay around if he got to see them get kicked off.

That would be cool.

Since the conclusion of the second challenge, when Brent had asked her about the Hogsmeade weekend over Valentine's Day, the fourth year's mind and stomach had butterflies all over it. Because even though it was a month away, if he was planning something, it only felt natural that she had to plan things too, because she wasn't about to be that girlfriend who didn't do anything return. Which meant, for the she-snake, figuring out a gift and an outfit, mostly.

After an eventful morning with her roommates and then finding Hattie to give her her birthday slash valentine's present, Skylar finally made her way out to the Wizarding Village. Not before having Vivian help her with the finishing touches on her makeup. What she hoped for was nothing short of a simplistic day though with Brent. Nothing too fancy and definitely nothing traditional.

Just as she was looking for the dark haired snake, she spotted the stage and a name 'Six Styx' flashed on stage. Music, how interesting. Would it be worthy of dancing? Because if so, she was down for more dancing with the fifth year, rather than the ooey-gooey Madam Puddyfoot's. And maybe an untraditional picnic lunch in the middle of the village, while watching this band might be nice.

And there he was. Sneaking up behind him, her hands swiftly covered his eyes and she leaned forward and kissed his cheek. "Happy First Valentine's Day," she whispered.

And a band had set up over near where she was and was beginning to play when she heard someone call her name. Ace? That had to be him for it surely sounded like his voice. She turned around, glancing at the people around her and trying to make her way towards his voice. This was one of the cons of being five foot two. She couldn't see over the people around her. And then all of a sudden, Ace was in front of her. He looked incredible... as usual. But it really hit her at that moment that this was a date. No panicking...

Just breathe.

The nerves suddenly came back and more butterflies were felt in her stomach. Merlin. She felt as if she was almost too nervous to smile for a brief second but then a big smile graced her lips. He was here and with her. She reached her arms out and gave him a hug. "Hey Ace! Happy Hearts Day to you too " Then she took a step back with a smile still on her lips. Saying the dreaded V, not Voldermort-- Valentine, word on a day like this was a little scary to the Gryffindor. Then he presented her with a gift. Not just any gift- this was a special Ace made creation. A bouquet of chocolate covered strawberry had been presented to her. Wow! She took the bouquet with a smile. "Oh,Ace, you shouldn't have." Really presents weren't necessary but wow..."Thank you. This is incredible. I love it!" Seriously chocolate covered strawberries were a delight!

Olivia hadn't expected that. But she had prepared just in case. She thanked herself for bringing a little gift too just in case he surprised her with one. Always had to be prepared, huh? She pulled out of her bag a neatly wrapped brown leather journal. "And this is for you so that you can write all your wonderful creations down in one place."

Sleater's eyes lit up mid song when he noticed more people were stopping by. The nervous feeling was dying out and being replaced with excitement.

"Tell him what you want and baby, he can
find you
anything you need,
tell him what
you’re neeeediiiing...whoaaa, ohhh, ohhh..."

He sent a small wave to the girl (Sylvie) waving up at them and grinned, finishing off the song.


"HOW'S IT GOING, HOGSMEEEEAAAADEEEE??!" Obviously by now, he was totally feeling the vibe. "You know, I used to go to school here, too! Badger pride!" He laughed, gesturing for the drummer to kick off the next song. "This next song is 'Cold Cold Cold' and it's by one of my favorite bands, Cage the Elephant...1, 2, 3..."

Another rock song kicked off with a faster tempo and a harder beat as the lights flashed along.

"DOCTOR.
Look into my eyes..."

Lucy wouldn't say she really wanted to come. Actually, this gig was ruining her plans of studying virtually anywhere in the castle, because most kids would be here instead. She would say it was hard for her to say no to seeing a band. And hard for her to say no to Teddy, even if all Teddy had asked was if she wanted to go.

So here they were.

She knew the other girl'd been devastated by her loss of the last challenge. And Lucy couldn't think of anything to console her. She would be devastated, too. However, she made it known that she was glad to not have to worry over Teddy's life, and glad to have more time to spend with her.

Like here! In Hogsmeade! Luce squeezed Teddy's hand as they gathered by the stage. She was warm with nerves and excitement and a little of a heating charm she attempted on her dress. Her beautiful dress that Teddy told her to wear. !.

Jacobi....was there. And they were going to join her. That was okay. It wasn't like this was a date or anything.

Lucy smiled at the Slytherin. "Hey! How are you? Do you know them?" Meaning the band. She gestured at the stage but was unable to tear her eyes away once who appeared to be the main guitarist and singer(?) came out. Her eyes lit up. Yas, music, yaaaas.

"Did you say Glitter and Dragon? There's a magic band called Glitter and DRAGON?" completely starry eyed, Sylvie couldn't quite decide which part of that she liked better. Not.. the glitter, but the glitter AND the dragon, and DRAGONS. In general. Because dragons are totally awesome in real life AND in fantasy.

Uhmmm. Now that she's seen the band for a minute they could probably go? She wasn't too fussed about it. "Uhhh, I dunno, what do y- WHOA LOOK DID YOU SEE THAT??!" all thoughts of leaving were forgotten as the main singer WAVED AT HER and she BOUNCED, gasping. "Did you see he waved at me?! That was so cool!" Entirely overexcited, Sylvie turned back towards the stage and continued her excited jumping. "HI.... um, WHATEVER YOUR NAME IS! HELLO!" she bellowed, waving again, attempting to overcome the vocals, drums, guitars and general noise because Sylvanas Norcott is nothing if not determined to always be heard.

YEAH.

It was a convenient coincidence that their Hogsmeade weekend just happened to be on Valentine's Day, and that made date choices easy. There were a couple nice restaurants and Levi figured he could take Etta out to eat and then maybe just a nice walk through the street. That sounded good, right?

Dressed in what he thought was a sharp outfit, he met Etta in the courtyard just outside the school and presented her with a small bouquet of flowers. He had a gift he'd give her later too. Totally nailing this Valentine's Day stuff.

Keeping her hand in his, the fourth year was drawn towards the sound of music coming from the middle of the street as they walked up. "Oh hey, is this a concert?" There was definitely a stage with a band playing on it and a crowd gathered around. He didn't know they did that kind of thing here. But... he wasn't sure he recognized the name, even if he could get into the music. "Do you want to stay and hang out?" he turned to ask his girlfriend, his voice slightly elevated so he could be heard over the music. This could be fun. But if she'd rather move on and get something to eat, that'd be okay too.

Yeah, Fiyero was bored. Usually he looked forward to Hogsmeade weekends, but today he just felt... meh. All the IMPS hoopla was starting to grate on his nerves, and those Ilvermorny kids... Some of them were cool, but most of them were just loud and rude and annoying! And it was Valentine's Day. GAG! If he had to see one more couple today, he was going to puke!

He was trying to decide which shop to visit first - or more to the point,
which shop would have the least amount of lovey-dovey stuff - when he heard music playing and followed the direction of the sound a little farther down the street. Say, these guys were good! He supposed he could stick arund her and listen for a while. Who knows? Maybe some of his friends would show up...

Was he nervous about this date? Maybe a little bit? But really he was more eager than anything else. Because he gets to hang around with Vi again. Sure its Valentines, but thats just secondary really. Heck they'd be doing what they're doing regardless of what day it was.

Also Vi Holden hugs are thrilling ok? Because gosh she just sends his heart racing. He beamed at her reaction to his gift. It is customary for guys to give girls a bouquet of flowers and chocolates on this day, but given that this is Tenacius Salander, of course he'd put his own personal touch to it. "I thought it would be nice for you to have something to nibble on in case you got hungry. And that is healthy-- its fruit. Natural sugars and a bit of dark chocolate." See? He's thought this through. No blaming this guy for any extra weight gained or pimples after this day yeah?

But oh she had a gift for him too? That he didnt expect. "Thank you!" he grinned as he opened the gift and examined it. Oh he is loving this design. And its showing clearly on his face. "Thank you, I love it!" he said softly, because gosh that hit him right here where the ol thumper was beating. And he leaned in for another hug.

There was this amazing concert, and then there was all of picturesque Hogsmeade "Wanna go walk? Or do you wanna hang around this concert?"

For various REASONS, Etta hadn't been really looking forward to Valentine's Day at all but she got to spend time with her wonderful boyfriend so she wasn't exactly complaining. Dressed in a cute outfit, or so she hoped, the girl met up with Levi. He really was the most amazing boyfriend, wasn't he? Just looking at him made her smile and the bouquet that he gave her just made her smile even more. He was literally perfect in every which way and she was so lucky to have this wonderful boy in her life. Ugh, it almost hurt.

It helped that Hogsmeade looked extra pretty. She would have loved to walk around a little, enjoying the scenic beauty, but there was a band playing right up the high street. She had no idea who was playing but the music was.. okay but the sound was so way too loud with bright lights flashing on the stage and crowd seemed to be enjoying every bit of it.

"We can hang out here." She spoke loudly and nodded, knowing that he probably wanted to stay and enjoy the concert. He loved music anyway. She gave his hand a light squeeze and a smile before looking around, noticing the crowd getting bigger as more people arrived. Oh, goodness.

She smiled when he said it would be something that she could nibble on and then informed her that it was a healthy snack. It also looked good and SMELLED wonderful. First the caramel apple dessert and now this... He was spoiling her for sure! Olivia chuckled. "Healthy and has chocolate? You're spoiling me, she winked and made a note that she'd definetly have to try one. If she ate one, then she'd give one to Ace too cause it was rude to eat in front of others and

And my gosh, this boy is so beautiful when he smiles.... She wanted to get a photo of his smile and keep it. Or she just wanted to have his smile in her life for a very long time or maybe forever?

Olivia loved - no ADORED-- his reaction to the notebook and was relieved when he said that he loved it. A bigger smile tugged at her lips and then he leaned in for another hug which Olivia gladly gave. Being so close to him, she could have sworn that she heard his heart racing or maybe that was her own? Her heart was beating rather quickly too. When she stepped out of the hug, she could have sworn that he was taller than normal. Had he grown??

He MUST have. Olivia Holden was starting to feel smaller and smaller these days with everyone growing especially the guys. What were they eating and could she have some?!

Now to his question, Olivia purses her lips as she debated both options. She wasn't as indecisive as the first time she and Ace had met. Merlin, she had even needed a coin to help her decide what to do. Feeling more confident in Ace's presence, she smiled. "How about we check out the concert? That looks fun and then we could explore Hogsmeade later," she suggested. Besides if they got there now it probably would be easier to see the band playing. At five foot two and a half, Olivia tried to go on her tip toes to see if she could see much of the band from over where they were. hmm.... They'd have to get closer. "Want to go closer?" she asked turning her head to glance at Ace. She could have sworn that she looked for too long. His eyes and smile were just so melt worthy... She hoped the chocolate wouldn't melt. Ahem.

So.

Who the hell----

NATALIA! Jacobi was EMBARASSED. She saw the BALLOONS and wanted to murder her. "Nat! REALLY?" she asked, her cheeks turning red. "Merlin----thanks---" she laughed a little. "You're horrible. I'm NOT taking those," she said about the balloons, but she did grab the chocolate. "I will pop them all, one. by. one." She said dramatically.

SPOILER!!: Teddy and Lucy

It looked like not a lot of people had arrived yet or maybe the band wasn't that well known. "Look, there's Jacobi." She gestured to Lucy, leading her towards the other girl.

Jacobi saw Lucy and Teddy approaching...holding...hands. Which...she wasn't aware there was anything going on between them, but jealousy ran rapid as she saw it. Not that she was into either of them; she most certainly wasn't. But the thought of being LEFT OUT at some point.......

So she coolly replied, "Are you talking to me or Teddy?" Hmph. "Also, hi." She looked at Nat and then back at her friends. "Guys, this is my friend Nat. Lucy, you know Nat. Headgirl and all," she smiled. "Teddy is a transfer this year, Nat. She was ALSO one of our champions for the IMPs thingy. And she did awesome." Despite being eliminated, but she wouldn't mention that part.

Teddy, get over it. Losing, that is. Life moves on.

The band had started playing, and Teddy could dig the music. She really didn't have a strict taste in music, though. But she bobbed her head.
