"Or we could go somewhere else." He didn't seem to keen on the idea of staying in London for a few days. And as she thought about it some more there were probably better places to go. Giving him a nudge with her shoulder, Mia grinned at him. "Where would you like to go? It's your turn to pick. I chose the place last summer." Admittedly though, her ideas rocked but she had faith in Nikolai's decisions.

Mia let out a small giggle at the look on his face and she was about to mention, very diplomatically of course, that EVERYONE had nose hairs but he had already moved onto the topic of her being polyjuiced.

She shrugged her shoulders. "It was a potions assignment. I changed into a guy called Carter. It was so weird. And I think I might have ruined his love life." Well that's what Carter said anyway. Mia thought she had been doing him a huge favor really. "I didn't much like being a boy." It had all beeen rather awkward getting around.

The ride began to move and Mia let out a little squeal of excitement. "We should have come on this at night time. Imagine what it would look like with all the lights on. It would look so pretty." She was getting into that sappy mode that she sometimes got into when she was with Nik.

Ellie could tell they were going back down, which wasn't as fun, so Ellie just looked straight ahead at the trees with a faint smile on her face. And she smiled more at his answer. Kinda excited. When she noticed him look at her, he adjusted her head so she could look at him too. "I'm excited too." For once... But now she had something to look forward too. A year with her friends and Dallin, without having to worry about being sick and losing friends.

"I think this is going to be the best year yet." Ellie said with a smile, looking towards the city. And she really thought so. She had a sudden burst of happiness and motivation. It was great.

Dallin's eyes widened at that comment. That sounded like how he felt about it, too. For some reason he thought that this year was going to be good. He told Louisa that it was because there were no OWLs or NEWTs. But that wasn't the only reason, of course.

"Why's that?" He had to ask. Of course. She had seemed so confident about that when she said it, so she had to have a good answer. Better than his, at least.

Looking around, Jean noticed that the queue seemed to have shortened up. "Step up, caw'mon," Shuffling new riders into carriages, the small ginger-haired carny stared up, making sure no hooligans were causing problems while up in the air.

Well, that was awfully nice of Mia, letting him pick someplace.

But really, Nikolai had no idea where he wanted to go. They were planning on traveling as soon as she graduated, and he didn't want to see all the good places before then. Maybe somewhere small for now. "We can decide where to go later. We have the whole summer to pick." For now, they should just enjoy the carnival. Or, try to enjoy it.

His eyebrows raised even higher as she went on to explain why she was polyjuiced into a boy. They never did things like that at Durmstrang, but then again, they didn't have a crazy Potions Professor like Hogwarts did. He remembered that woman. And he was assuming it was still her there. "Why would you polyjuice into a boy in the first place?" Erm.. maybe he didn't want to know. "And how did you ruin his love life?"

He didn't think he had to tell her that he was glad she didn't like being a boy, right?

As the ride began to move, Nikolai grinned over at Mia before taking the sightseeing goggles out of her hand and held them to his eyes. That was for telling him he had nose hairs. "Maybe the carnie woman will let us stay on until it gets dark?"

Mia raised her eyebrows at him. "You have no idea where you want to go, do you?" And here she thought he had been a world traveller in his youth. Apparently not. She couldn't but smirking though. "Make sure it's somewhere romantic. It is for our 2nd anniversary after all." she teased. She was pretty sure that he knew she was joking because they weren't the most romantic of couples.

Why had she chose a boy to change into? Because she was Mia and that was probably answer enough. She shrugged her shoulders again. "Well I figured changing a different girl wasn't going to be much of a challenge." That wasn't strictly true. She just wanted to see what it was like to be a boy. As for Carter's love life..."Well I ran into his ex-girlfriend, only I didn't know they had broken up and she kinda asked for his forgiveness and she said she wished she could take it back and...well I told her that all was forgotten." Apparently that had been a bad move on her part, according to Carter anyway. Pfft...Carter was just jealous that she was able to get his girlfriend back.

Eh, that sounded so weird even in her own head.

"Hey! I was using those." She poked her tongue out at him again and then looked out over the side of the carriage. She somehow didn't think she would like to sit on the ride for that many hours. "Oh look Nik. It's your favourite part of the carnival." She pointed her finger to a stall down below. "The food stall."

Quinn jump. the turned around and saw Travis. She smiled brightly. She was very glad to see him. " Travis you scared me!" she said lightly pushing him. She looked at the very very tall ride and got frightened once again. [b] "Travis im kinda frightened by the ride.." She said looking at him. She shivered. She was getting quite cold she forgot her jacket. She looked up at the night sky. "what a shame all the lights have hidden the stars tonight.." she said sadly.

Ellie looked up at Dallin with a smile. It seemed pretty obvious why this term was going to be great. Well it seemed obvious to her anyway. "I kinda just... have this feeling. I have nothing to worry about anymore. I'm not sick. I'm not saying goodbye. I'm not losing you." She told him, the last part was quieter. It was as if something inside of her changed, and she had sort of a new hope for school. Because it probably wasn't going to suck anymore.

he smiled down at her . " I am so sorry my love." He said in a British accent. He loved her bright smile. The were at the front of the line now. " Dont be afraid im going to be right there with you the whole time." He said with a smile grabbing her hand hoping she wouldnt find it weird. He was fourteen hes hoping she was twelve or near there. He lead her onto the the cart and he waited to sit down before she did. " stars are just playing a game of hide and go seek." He said with a smirk.

Ari couldn't understand how someone as friendly and enthusiastic as Fee got to be in Slytherin, but refrained herself from voicing that opinion out loud in front of her friend, who was undoubtedly proud to be a 'snake'. 'I missed you too! I've been on vacation, like everyone else. My mum took me to Wales for a week, then we returned home and had some friends over. It was a nice summer overall, but I already miss Hogwarts. Don't you?'

'I don't exactly love ferris wheels, but meh, I want to give it a try. I've only been on one many years ago and I don't remember much, maybe I was too young to enjoy it and this time will be different. And if you're coming, I'm not scared.' Ari said, with conviction, waiting to hop on and begin the crazy ride.

Jwaw?! This only made him laugh more; he was now bent to hold his stomach. It probably wasn't very polite to laugh like that, but she was just so hilarious with her failing attempts. After a minute or so, João could finally breathe normally again, although he still chuckled here or there, face flushed red. "Right, it's the best pronunciation ever!" he exclaimed which elicited another short fit of laughter. He was almost at the point of telling her to call him however she wanted; but he wanted to hear her new inventions to he didn't let her do that... maybe he would even give her some classes all alone how to call him right. Yeah, he liked that idea.

Following her to the line, he nodded at the question. "Yes, I've memorised every stone on it." Because he was just that clever and he had pathetically just spent that much time. "Is Hogsmeade any better?" Because, if not... he just wouldn't go, unless with a pretty girl with him to brag aroung wander around.

He looked forward to enjoying everything and more with Isobel. Like taking her out on a proper date before school started. She'd like that, he was sure. Never in a million year would Damien consider himself to be 'boyfriend material' as some of the girls would say. Let alone find someone was wonderful as Isobel to be his girlfriend.

He liked the sound of that.

And then the flashback of their first hug in the library went through the back of the Hufflepuff boy's mind. Of course she would ask him such a question; after that embrace, everything for the two of them went up in flames for a few months. The Polyjuice potion, kissing other guys -- finally coming to terms with what his feelings for Isobel were.

It all started with that hug. And the shadow of a figure behind his eyelids.

What was he supposed to say? In the back of his mind The Truth was screaming to get out. But what if she thought him a total nutter? What if telling that bit of the truth ended their relationship? You could see the struggle in his eyes, and he used his free hand to pinch the bridge of his nose. "It's not what you think --" he began before turning to look at her. "I wanted to hug you, Isobel. The moment my arms wrapped around you, I knew I wanted to be nowhere else but right there with you --"

That was a good start.

"But -- something happened --" he paused long, thinking carefully about how he was going to word his crazy-ness. "I closed my eyes and it was like -- a projector turned on in my mind. Everything was white except --" He took a deep breath, "Except for the shadow of a figure. I saw someone -- the figure of someone. And it scared everything out of me and that's why I let go of you ---"

He studied her for a moment, attempting to gauge her reaction. Would she jump out of the basket they were sitting in? They were still halfway up, but on their way to the ground, their ride ending soon. Would their relationship end with the Ferris Wheel ride?

And.. he was laughing even harder- catching his stomach and all. Louisa rolled her eyes at him. Yeah, yeah well she hadn't learnt Portuguese at primary school and Hogwarts, obviously, doesn't really care about other languages, so it wasn't really her fault that his name sounded weird in English. "Well, I can learn how to say it properly if you want to teach me," Louisa was up for any studying sessions with friends.

Getting into an empty basket, Louisa quickly got hold of one of the goggles before he took hold of it.. oh. There was another one. So much for being vigilant. Anyways, Louisa put it to her eyes and started gazing at the view while talking to Joao, "Hogsmade's smaller. But I like it more. Because it's every weekend and you get to hangout at new friends that you made during the term," Diagon Alley was just fascinating as the basket ascended its way in the air, "Wow. I seem to like flying more and more," She said in a strangled voice- strangled from impression.

Lara stood in front of the Ferris wheel grinning. She was so excited about getting into one of the baskets. She likes to climb up to high places and look from up there. But Lara was here alone. She lost track of here friends when they went to but some drinks.

However, that didn't stop her from coming here to ride this. she didn't really want to waste her time, she wanted to visit all parts of this carnival. So she stood aside looking if anyone was around to join her.

Carrying her newly bought ice cream, Beezus was strolling around the carnival. She walked towards the Magical Ferris Wheel and noticed a girl looking from side to side. She approached her and said, "Hi! Are you looking for someone or lost perhaps ?"

Rachel, finally had found them, she ran over to Luna, "Oh my gosh!!!" she said, "I thought I had lost you!!! I had no idea where you where!" she said, in one breath, Luckily she had found them, otherwise she would have been lost all day!

''RACHEL!'' Luna half screached and hugged Rachel which must half looked really weird but she didn't care she was really worried about her

''Pres just went to get Leo I knew you'd find us though'' Luna grinned ''Where were you Presley said you went to the toilets'' OH damn we're bringing Leo here for NO reason what so ever Luna felt like she'd hit herself but she was not mad who hits themself if sombody or themselves do somthing wrong Luna said in her head

Rachel laughed, "Luna, calm down! Yes I did go to the toilets, but I couldn't find them, then when I did there was a huge que, then I got lost coming back, sorry" she said in a small voice.

Rachel looked around for Pres, but didn't see her.

Luna took a deep breath ''Sorry!'' she said quickly and then she laughed with Rachel when she thought about it she was over reacting about it

''Wow well thats that at least your allright!'' Luna smiled ''We better go get Pres she went all the way to Olivanders for nothing!'' Luna groaned a little not that much ''Well she'll be back in a minute!''

Renesmee was too facinated about the Carnival to be thinking about anything at all, but thats what she needed. She needed to keep her mind blank, she needed a break. She continued walking wlooking for something interesting to do. Out of nowhere she saw a gigantic ferris wheel. It was huge definitely not the same as a muggle one. She stared at it with her mouth open. It was high up probably ten times bigger and higher then the usual. It looked like awsome fun though."Look at that Puffles." she said to her pygmy puff, that was sitting on her shoulder.

Since she loved hights she decided to give the ferris wheel a try. She stood in the line, Puffles still on her shoulder. Her pygmy puff seemed a little nervous. She picked him from her shoulder and put him in her hands, trying to make him feel safer. She looked around trying to spot somone she knew, she felt a little embarressed being all alone. Spotting no one, she carried on standing in the line.

"Of course I know where I want to go." The problem was that he couldn't pick only one of those places. He wanted to go everywhere. That was why he liked it better when Mia picked, he didn't have to make that difficult decision. It was Nikolai's turn to raise his eyebrows; they tried romantic, it never worked out well. He'd just have to think about it. Until then.. "Two years? Merlin. No wonder why I'm tired of you." he teased her right back.

She should know well enough that would never happen.

Right. He should have expected an answer like that from Mia. Although, he thought there was more than just wanting the challenge. But he decided he didn't want to hear it, so he didn't ask. He couldn't help but laugh as she explain how she ruined the boy's love life. "He should have told you who to avoid, don't you think?" So really, it wasn't her fault. Plus, Nikolai thought she could do no wrong anyhow.

He grinned over at her and gazed through the goggles a moment longer before handing them back to her. They still weren't that high up yet, and he'd rather use his own eyes to take in the sights. Or.. he'd rather see them up close with his own eyes. He chuckled when Mia mentioned his favorite part of the carnival, and he leaned over her to look down. They really should have stopped to eat first. "Did you see how big all the food was? We could probably share and still get full." Hint, hint.

Evangeline walked up to the Ferris Wheel and looked up in amazement. She'd been on the London Eye plenty of times but this was something else entirely for one thing it was much bigger. Evangeline joined the line and soon she was approaching an empty cart. She looked around and thought she'd end up sitting alone. It sure seemed like she would be.

She stepped forward and sat in the empty cart and waited for someone to join her.

So...he wanted to hug her? Isobel wanted to hug him, more so now that she knew he wouldn't be all weird again. But no, she could later. Right now she tried to focus all her attention on Damien. She would much rather focus on Damien than the height they were at now. Thankfully, they were getting lower. Soon they would be on the ground, and the Ferris Wheel ride would come to a stop all too soon. She was sad about that part.

He...he what? Isobel stared blankly at him. He saw a figure? What kind of figure? "Like a ghost?" She had said the first thing that came into her head, and she didn't stop to think about whether or not that was a good thing to say. She was trying to figure out what exactly Damien was saying.

"You...saw a figure?" That didn't make any sense to her. "Have you seen a figure before? Or anytime after that?" She frowned when he said he had been scared. "Don't be afraid Damien," she said, putting slightly more pressure on his hand. "Even if you did see the figure, like you said you did-" and she believed him, because she knew him. "It can't hurt you." Well, she didn't think it did. "I'll be right beside you," she said softly.

He did not. Nikolai was just telling her that. Mia could name a dozen places right now of where they could go but she was not going to let him off that easily. It was HIS turn to choose. Apparently he had no problems in picking on her though. So she leant forward and seized his lips with hers and kissed him. "Like you would ever find anyone else like me." she said as she pulled back with a smirk on her face.

"Yes he definitely should have." According to Carter though he had tried to tell her but she had already taken off on her adventure as a boy. It wasn't a life and death situation as far as she was concerned. She wondered what had happened after that and if Carter had met up with Caroline and sorted things out.

Mia eagerly took the goggles from him and put them to her eyes and looked out across the rooftops of London. It was so cool. They should have thought of getting a pair of these when they climbed the Eiffel Tower last year. Lowering the goggles when Nik spoke, she shook her head and laughed. "Okay, okay. As soon as the ride is finished we'll go and get something to eat." She put the goggles back to her eyes still chuckling, "You can't go anywhere without eating, can you?"

Macy hurried up to the Ferris Wheel, taking a good few seconds to gawk at it. D: HOLY. COW. That thing was ginormous! It was a wonder they managed to fit it in Diagon Alley. Hrm. Perhaps that was why it was the 'magical' Ferris Wheel. You know, other than the fact that it was... wizard operated... and... magically powered . . . *AHEM* Right.

Taking a seat, the girl looked up at the sky. Hmph. It had been a loooong and boring and very lonely summer. Unfortunately, she wasn't exactly the 'friendly' type and had a better time making enemies than friends. Might as well stock up on TNT for the year, considering that she had no high hope for the social department. Really. WHAT WAS WRONG WITH HER?!

In any case, Macy was glad to be rid of her twin brother for the day. Though this left her with nobody to talk to, it did mean that she wasn't going to be followed around constantly by a pack of girls trying to get his attention. Being mistaken for your brother's girlfriend was incredibly awkward. "La dee da dee da," she hummed. Or... sang really. If only somebody would save her from herself.
