" I am happy around my friends, but I am happiest around you" William told Witsy. " I do not know what I would do if I lost yoi to an argument or to someone else" William said to Witsy.

"Well you shouldn't need to worry, because we're together now and that's how I see it." She kissed him on the cheek reassuring him.

" Great, I love being with you" Wilaim told Witsy." I hope I never lose you" William said to Witsy." I love you" William kissed Witsy on the cheek.

Witsy was so happy she could dance. That's exactly what she did and started twirling. She grabbed William's hands to coax him to dance with her.

Fee was walking over the carnival again for the millionth time this week.But the blonde just couldnt get enough of it.The blonde wanted to try every single attraction again and again.As the raffle booth crossed her way the Slytherin smiled to herself.She hadnt bought any raffles yet so now would be the perfect time to.Annnnnd in addition it was for a good cause.

Approaching the girl thought about how many she would buy...

Jayden smiled. "Perhaps they'd let us pay more for a ticket?" he suggested. "We could ask. I'm sure they wouldn't refuse."

Nobody ever refused more money.

Especially charities.

"I think you'd look very cute in stripes." But then again, he thought she looked cute all the time. "Maybe I'll get a butterfly or something. What do you think? That would bring out my eyes, right?" he asked before blinking rapidly. He then chuckled. "You happen to love pretty things. If I had pretty eyes then you'd just stare at them all day."

And that was something that he could definitely live with.

It wouldn't really hurt for them to ask, would it? "2 sickles isn't really all that much. Just slightly over half a pound," she nodded. It wasn't at all too much for it, but she didn't feel it was enough to make a mark to her. "Okay, we will ask. But if they say no, I'll just go to St. Mungo's and donate right to them." She did feel it was her civic duty and all.

Jade batted her lashes and smiled, tilting her face up. "Stripes and I do get alone, don't we?" she laughed. Sporting some stripes wasn't all that bad and it wasn't like she hadn't sported them before. "Painted stripes and I are friends anyway," she added as she thought back to when they painted her flat. "Butterfly? You know you could pull it off babe." Really there wasn't much that she didn't think he could pull off, she was pretty sure he would always be handsome and attractive to her. "You do have pretty eyes and I already stare at them all day," she laughed as she poked him playfully. He's eyes did make her melt most of the time and bring them out in anyway, only made her more smitten with him.

Simon had been exploring various parts of the carnival in between going on the rides and such. Sometimes it was just to try and get away from a particularly loud and crowded area, other times like now it was because he had just let his feet do the walking and he had wandered to a less populated area. He stopped to look around to take in his surroundings, finding a colorful booth off to one side apparently holding a raffle of some sort. The former Gryffindor stayed back from it a bit, with his hands in his pockets as if debating whether or not to participate or meerly using the quieter area to take a break.

The raffle. It had been just one of the places Sabel had tried to avoid on his wanderings, but strangely enough, his feet led him back to the bright booth every time. It never seemed to change much, besides in composition of crowd. He wasn't sure what he was expecting to see, or not see, but it definitely wasn't the simple, non-troublesome state he observed it in every time he passed.

It was on his fifth visit to the stand that he noticed something different. A certain face from the past that brought a small smile to his lips. Walking up behind Simon, he clapped the younger boy on the shoulder the same as he had done all those weeks ago when Damien had called him to Hogwarts to help deal with those polyjuiced women. "A bit straining on the eyes, don't you think?"

India pretty much skipped up to the raffle area. She loved raffles. Was incredibly horrid at them, but loved them. "Hello!" She smiled, giddily. Quickly showing off her 'permission' slip from her parents - as she was just under Seventeen - curse being sixteen. She quickly wrote down her name and dropped in two sickles.

"Soooo what does the raffle support exactly?" She asked, her big eyes wide and happy. She was so nervous her body was practically vibrating like a muggle cell phone in a movie theatre.

Feeling the clap on his shoulder from behind, Simon turned almost in a sense of deja vu. His expression turning from questioning to a plain ordinary smile as he spotted the young man standing there as he had back on the practice pitch several weeks before. "Sabel...hey," he greeted before glancing again at the multi-colored tent at the older boys question. "Yes, indeed. Just a bit."

Turning back, the recent graduate couldn't help but look over his former housemate, something he hadn't been able to when last they ran into each other. "How have you been?" he asked slightly curious as to what he had been up to the last year. The last he had heard, he was doing something he himself had nearly considered...training with the Auror department.

Giving the other boy a small smile, Sabel shrugged his shoulders and turned his eyes back to examining the bright display. "Alright." He hoped that the exhaustion and lack of proper appetite weren't blatantly visible, but given they had been noticed by more than one person and given avoidance and falsehoods had gotten him into that mess in the first place, there wasn't much for trying to hide it. "Had a tough past few weeks."

Another shrug and he glanced back at his fellow Gryffindor. "How about you? I hear you've 'grown up' and graduated now." There was a bit more of a smile to the teasing. Simon after all had been one of the most reasonable kids he had known at Hogwarts.

After buying his ticket, Jack turned to go maybe find something else to do when he walked straight in to someone. He crashed to the ground face down in a patch of dry mud. Nice.

He looked up and saw a girl about his age standing above him. She seemed pretty... excited about the raffle, though he couldn't really tell why. He got up, brushing the dirt of himself, but was mainly just his face.

Suddenly he saw it as a bit of a blessing. Maybe the mud would help disguise his fresh cuts on his cheeks. But it didn't it just made him look as if he'd been beaten up by a mud puddle. Really.

"Sorry." He mumbled to her, once on his feet.

Daniel had heard about the carnival and wasn't about to miss it! He'd made his way over to the raffle booth as it turned out you needed tickets to use attractions. Which was lame. Raffles should be free. As he approached however he saw a familiar blonde which made him forget the tickets.

"Fee...is that you?" Daniel asked

" Do not buy all the raffle tickets" Willaim told Fee. " I want to win or have Witsy win" William said to Fee. " I have to be careful because you might glitter the raffle booth, make it look cool and win" William laughed.

"What a really, really good dancer" William told Witsy. " See. you surprised me by not showing me one of your assets" Willaim said to Witsy. "Did you teach yourself to dance?" Willaim asked Witsy.

Sure Simon had noticed the older boy's appearance but he hadn't thought too much on it. It wasn't like he was a stranger to it, having seen Jonathan have a similar appearance after particularly stressful cases. He just took it as part of the downfall of a career as an auror, probably one of the reasons he had second thoughts about following in his brother's footsteps. As Sabel gave a vague explaination, he meerly nodded to show some understanding without pushing.

"Yep, thats me," he answered in confirmation. " Recent Hogwarts graduate trying to find out what to do now that he's grown up," he added with a shake of his head. Some might think it was odd that one of the most put together students was one of the few graduates that DIDN't have his future plans in place by now.

Fee smiled and nodded at William.It was sooo cute how obviously in love he was with her"I wont dont worry",she giggled.Aww he was worried she would glitter it?Now that was really sweet."I'll try to keep my glitter at the low",the Slytherin laughed,"just for you and Witsy."Let William be his girlfriend's hero.Hehe.

Turning around the blonde heard a familiar male voice and looked for the person to it.Just slightly to the left,there he was."Daaaaniiieeel",the girl smiled happily,"we havent met up in ages.How have you been?"The boy seemed to be unsure if she was really the one.Ohh yeahh the haircu,the slytherin almost forgot about that.

Noooow this was really cool,the carnival seemed to be the place were she met so many of her old friends whom she hadnt seen in ages.Hadnt she loves it from the beginnin the carnival would now be her hero.Hehe.

"They'd be crazy to not accept more money." Jayden reassured her. "But if you do decide to donate on your own sometime, let me know. I should go with you. I wouldn't want you all by yourself in a hospital." Especially one that treats brain problems. His Jade was getting nowhere near that ward without an escort.

"Yes, very well." he said with a chuckle. "Especially when they're across your face or arms." One of his favorite memories was of the two of them together painting her flat.

He chuckled once again. "I'm sure I can think of something that would look ridiculous. As soon as I do, we'll know what to get painted on my face." He was at a carnival, right? He might as well go all out.

"You never know," Jade shrugged. She didn't want to possible offend anyone for insisting to give more. "It's just a hospital, darling. But if you want to escort me, I won't complain," she added with a smile. Being at St. Mungo's didn't scare her at all, but she could see how some might be concerned with healthy witches/wizards being there but she would have to go if worked all for her to go in the future and she did feel like that was very likely.

Letting out a small giggle, she smiled. "I will say that having match stripes on my face and arms don't bother me in the least," she replied. That day was so much fun and to this day, she still couldn't go into those rooms without thinking about how much fun that weekend was.

Random images ran through her head and she shook her head. "Well, I'd like to see what we come up with." she laughed. Again, she couldn't see him looking ridiculous at all; but if it was possible, she would have to see it herself.

Tony took ticket #2 and grinned. "Thanks! This sounds really cool! I hope I win. He gave her two sickles, then wrote his name on the clipboard. Anthony Ellison Duvall. There we go. "Again, thanks!" He smiled, then walked away to some other part of the fair... somewhere.

India felt a - well, someone bump into her and looked up to see a rather muddy boy her age. Muddy because he fell face-firt into the mud. Ouch.

"I'm fine, sorry you er fell on the ground." She blushed slightly, not exactly wanting to comment on his rather raggidy appearance. He just looked like a few rocks had decided to pelt him when he fell. Evil rocks. "Um so you know, you have mud all over, i'm sorry - so I've got a question." She smiled confidentally, her blue eyes twinkling mischieviously.

"Would you want to start over forget about falling over and introduce eachother and all - it would be nice to know atleast one person here to be honest!" India smiled. Her accent was thick and almost sticky like veggiemite. Not her favorite breakfast treat. "I'm India," she smiled, offering her hand to shake in such a discrete way where if it weren't taken it wouldn't look like a mockery of the nervous new-girl.

" You know I really do not care f you win or buy a lot of raffle tickets" Willaim told Fee. "Are you really going to keep the glitter low?" Willaim asked Fee. " I live yoru glitter" Willaim smiled. " I use to get a little jealous when I saw Rex with glitter all over him" Willaim expalined to Fee.

"No," He said, "it was my fault." He noticed her accent. Australian, was it? "Yeah." He agreed, his already low level of confidence sinking. She seemed under the impression the cuts on his face were from when he fell. Ok, better excuse than the truth.

"Alright." He agreed, chuckling slightly. This seemed so unusual compared to the sort of people he was used to. Namely, his mother. "Hi India." He said, brushing his hand off his trousers before shaking hers. "I'm Jack."

Well this guy seemed harmless. Maybe a little on the low-confident side, but hey here she was to save the day. A girl who litterally knew no one at all - and would have befriended a bug if she had to.

"Well thats nice, and its a pleasure to meet you Jack!" She smiled. "Have to say you are far more talkative than the mirror I talked to at the leaky cauldron - he didn't really like me that much. Said it sounded like I had dirt in my mouth." Wretched thing.

"So do you go to Hogwarts by chance?" She asked, hopefully he did because well - she really wanted to meet someone new and to have someone she already knew at school. That would be a plus. New girl, new school, new friends? New friends would be the cherry ontop - or thats what she was thinking so far.

Jack smiled, but wasn't too sure what to say about the mirror. "Oh..." He said uncertainly. "Well that was, er, unnecessary." He said, "and untrue." She sounded perfectly normal, he supposed this magic mirror didn't like her accent or something.

"No, not yet." He answered. "But I'm starting this term, sixth year. What about you?"
