"Yeah they said I could". "I just have to give them this letter letting them know I am going". he said reaching into his pocket and graping a note. He tied it on his owls leg. "Bring this to mum and dad". he told his owl. Then his owl took off.

Delilah walked down to the great hall and sighed. She was not looking forward to going home. Seeing Melinda and Chris she ran over to them. "Hey guys" she said forcing herself to be cheerful.

ooc-can only post once for now. sry. oh and hey do u need another character? i can double if u want me to.

"I'm so glad...I got everything prepared for you guys to stay there..." Melinda said, excited. She smiled. "Including the requirement room to practice..."

Chris saw Delilah. "Hey Delilah". he said to her. Truning back to Melinda. "So you mean I am really going to dance"? he said chuckleing.

"Remember, the dancing lessons. Victor is coming to the Black Mannor to give us dancing lessons for the summer, and that includes being in a contest at the end of it...I invited you guys to come to the mansion and stay the whole summer with us..." Melinda said. "As far as I know, Chris is coming..." Melinda said, taking Chris's arm and hugging it.

Melinda turned to Chris. "Of course, you are going to learn to dance...and...we might be partners for one of the contests...would you like that ?" She asked.

Chris felt Melinda hug his arm, but didn't do anything."Yeah that would be good if we were partners, but i am a really bad dancer". he said laughing.

"Ahhh...that is what everyone says...but, no one actually is a bad dancer...I thought I was before those lessons at Hogsmade...but, I learned fast..." She said. "I am so sure you will do as well...just tell me how you did to cope with my crazy attitude?" She asked, laughing.

"Then you have never seen me dance". he said laughing. "But maybe I will be good". "And i will tell you" he said to her.
Occ got to go bye.

Melinda laughed at Chris's comment. "Mm...we will see..." She said.

The Hogwarts Express was now at the Hogsmade Station. It was only a matter of time for them to leave the school and arrive to the Black Mannor. "Let's go. There is a carriage waiting for us outside..." Melinda said, pulling her trunk and taking her owl's cage. Around her arm and waist, she carried her deer bag. She turned around and saw for the last time in the summer that amazing school that was Hogwarts. She sighed and stepped up, to get on the carriage toward the Hogsmade Train Station.

Calabasas is slowly going to Jade's house. He will find Melinda and one of her freinds. Who will stophim? He pays the carriage driver to let him drive or does he just walk?

Melinda gets on the Hogwarts Express. She waits in one of the compartments for her friends. She hopes to enjoy the ride at least. Her stomach was killing her. She takes out a photo album of her deer bag, there, she has a picture of her mother, a very beautiful woman, who of course, was now dead. Tears came out of her eyes, she quickly cleaned them, so no one would notice she was being sensible nowadays.

Chris gets on the train. Gets in the compartment with Melinda, he puts his trunk away and kept his backpack next to him as he sat across from Melinda. "What was that"? He asked Melinda pointing to what she had in her hand.

Melinda saw Chris coming into the compartment and sitting in front of her. She still was cleaning her tears when she listened to Chris's question. "Ummm...well, she's my real mum...Adrianne..." Melinda said, closing the photo album. "...she's dead..." Melinda said, sadly, but direct.

Chris felt like he had a lump in his throat. He cleared his throat, "Ummm I am sorry about your mum" He said as he put his hand behind his head and messing with his hair.

"No problem...I mean, it's not your fault...as people have told me, she was killed during a Death Eater attack. I was like 2 years old when that happened." Melinda answered. "So...you still think you are going to step on my feet during the dancing lessons?" Melinda asked, smiling.

Chris was glad they were getting off that subject. "Well". Chris said putting his hand to his chin like he had to think about the question. "Yeah I think it will happen a few times". he said laughing.

Melinda laughed. "Oh...then, I will have to use tennis shoes to prevent the pain for a while..." She said, smiling. "But, you seem pretty intelligent to catch the rhythm of things...like the music...so, I will have patience..." She added.

"When have you seen me follow the rhythm in a song, or be intelligent"? He said laughing at his own comment.

"Oh...just have patience yourself...nobody is a bad dancer...I just know..." Melinda said, trying to avoid showing her barely feelings toward Chris. "MMm...so, how are you going with Roxy?" Melinda asked, trying to change the subject.

"I don't know I didn't see her when we left, I can't believe she didn't say goodbye". "Pluse in school I haven't seen her sence the day after I got hurt when I gave her the necklace I don't know maybe she avoiding me or something"? he told Melinda.

"Ummm...don't know, I just got to see her as well, the day, you gave her the necklace..." Melinda said, thinking through, "I guess she has no time, I mean...we were through some stress this past last weeks." Melinda said.
"By the way, I was really glad you gave the necklace to her...she seemed she really liked it..." Melinda said, thinking that if someone ever gave that to her, she would be really pleased to know someone loves her and would try to keep that relationship going on.

"Yeah I think she liked it but will I don't..." Chris was haveing a hard time getting the words out. I don't know how much I like her". he said and put his head down.

Occ Brb got to have dinner.

Melinda now felt the lump in her throat. "Don't you dare say that ...I mean, you are a really nice guy...with a very attractive attitude...I mean..." Melinda said, imagining herself bumping her head. Why did she say that? So not good... She thought.

ooc- bon apetit

Chris raised any eyebrow. What did she mean by a very "attractive attitude"? I don't want to know. he thought shaking his head. "All right I will not say that again". "So hows things going with Victor"? he said changing the subject again.
