Excelsior felt a slight tap on his shoulder. When he turned and saw that it was Tommy standing there, his eyes lit up with delight. "Tommy, I"m so happy you could make it here!", he said. Tommy was the person he wanted to see most, he found everything about her fascinating and refreshing. "So, you flew over here on the magic carpet, did you?" Excelsior found it exciting just thinking about that. It sounded so much more exciting and wonderful than flying on a broom to him. "It's really nice here, probably not as nice as where you come from, but still very beautiful in its own way." Excelsior could only imagine what Tommy's country looked like, he visualized it as quite beautiful and exotic.

Much like Tommy, he thought.

"Oh no, it is quite beautiful here as well. All the new trees, and the ocean is beautiful no matter where you are." She said her smile reaching to her eyes at the sight of Excelsior. She was so happy that he we glad to see her, it made that hurricane over Florida all worth while. "Well I am glad that Monica invited me, and yes I came on my carpet. It's slower than a broom but I love." She said giggling, "And besides, I owe you that ride.

"Well lets do just that, lets forget." he smiled at her and continued to walk to his sister "So you wanted to know more about my school? Well just so you know you landed me in cleaning duty, and two weeks of detention the extra week was for mouthing off though." he chuckled "Its a private school that they say we should be ashamed about, it's for misbehaving wizards, and now witches."


Bianca took the lotion and rubbed it on Atmor's back, making sure her new friend's back was covered. Then she handed the lotion back to her and pulled her own hair up into a pontyail, turning her back to Atmor.[/quote]

Atmor took the lotion and covered Bianca's back with care. "Well, we are now protected from the sun." she smiled "I know whats it's like to be burnt." she whistled low.

Monica laughed at him. "Well it's your fault for writing back at that moment. I didn't put the quill in your hand and make you write back just then." She teased softly, walking next to him. "So will you get to come back to Hogwarts?" She sincerely hoped so, School was going to be a very lonely place for her next term with Excelsior going to school here in America.

Bianca smiled around the ice cream that Ray had given her. "I know what you mean. So how old are you Atmor and how do you know monica?"

Excelsior's face broke into a wide smile as he told Tommy, "Oh, I'm really looking forward to that! This looks like the perfect place for a magic carpet ride if there ever was one, it's so beautiful and peaceful out here." He looked out. "The ocean looks like it goes on forever, and it's such a beautiful shade of blue, one I've never really seen before. I can understand why people say such great things about Hawaii."

"Well I am looking forward to it as well," she told him. "It's most beautiful at night." she said hoping to get a chance to really be alone with him under a full moon. "Oh it is a nice shade of blue, the ocean is emerald green on the shores of Ghana." It made her so homesick to think about home, she hadn't been back in almost a year. "This is a nice place to live, especially on the beach."

"I'm sure it is," Excelsior agreed. "I can't wait to see that sunset tonight, and I really hope I can share it with you." Excelsior looked off into the distance for a moment, dreaming. "I hope I will be able to see Ghana one day, it sounds like the most beautiful place in the entire world."

She wanted to jump for joy, he wanted to spend as much time alone with her as she did with her. "I would share anything with you," she whispered turning to look at him.


She didn't know what he was doing to her. Back home she would have had him crawling on his knees just begging to be in her presence for just a few moments. But Excelsior made her stomach flutter and her heart race, she wanted to be around him as much as he would let her.

"I would love to show you my homeland." She told him she moved closer to him and held onto his hand as they stared out over the horizon.

Delilah grinned widely when she saw Tommy. She decided to give her a quick hug then took Emmy from Excelsior. "Hey Tommy, how are you?" she asked then turning to Emmy she said "Would you like a ice cream?" asking Emmy's parents consent with her eyes.

Excelsior took hold of Tommy's hand. He couldn't understand what it was about her, how being around her felt so right, but who was he to argue? They were here in this wondrous paradise where it was foolish to question why, but simply to enjoy. "Then we will share the sunset together and I shall look forward to the magic carpet ride and one day seeing your home, but mos of all, I will look forward simply to spending time with you."

She gave his hand a light squeeze, she could feel his pulse quickening. She wondered if he know how much of an effect he had on her. Sharing a sunset with him would be the best birthday present in the world. She was in paradise.

"Well we certainly have a lot to look forward too." She told him with a smile. "Do you want to go for a swim before the sunsets?" She asked.

"That would be great," Excelsior said. "Should we take the surf board with us, or just enjoy swimming?" He didn't think they would be needing the surf board right now, that was more of a fun kind of group activity type thing.

"No, lets just enjoy a swim together." she had worn her bathing suit up under her clothes, she wondered if she should change in front of Excelsior, she didn't think so. "Let me change." she told him walking over toward the trees to take her clothes off. She made sure she had enough cover before she pulled her robe off. She had worn a silvery strapless sundress that she hoped Excelsior would get to see tonight.

She was wearing a strapless red tankini. She was glad that she wasn't top heavy like some of her sisters. She stowed her clothes in her bag and walked back over to Excelsior.

"Ready?"

"Wow, you look beautiful," Excelsior said. "I love that swimsuit." He himself had changed into a dark green pair of swim trunks with a silvery snake running up each side, accented with black spots. "The water looks very inviting, doesn't it? Well, shall we?" He proceeded to walk with Tommy down to the water, letting the pleasant feeling wash over his feet as he stepped into the surf.

Emmy nodded. "I-Cweam!"

"Just a small one Delilah or she won't eat her dinner!" Ashleigh called.

"Oh well my name is Ray Hufflepuff, straight descendant of Helga Hufflepuff, I go to Hogwarts like Monica and we're pretty much good friends... What more do you like to know?"asked Ray

"Alright, Mrs. Malfoy." Delilah called with a smile. Holding Emmy in her arms she walked toward the stand. "What flavor Emmy?" she asked looking at all the exotic names.

"I meant like tell me about what you like to do for fun and How old you are and stuff like that too." Bianca repliled licking her ice cream. "You first, then I will tell you about me." She promised.

"Want Choklit!" Emmy giggled reaching out for her ice cream.

"Thank you," she beamed. "I like yours too." She said eying his trunks, focusing more on his nice body than the trunks. "Yes we shall," She told him following him out to the surf. The water was a little warm, and it felt good on her toes. She walked out till the water was up around her waist and she dove into the water and swam a little further into the ocean.

She popped her head above water and looked back at Excelsior, "Are you coming or what?"

Lilah laughed and said "One chocolate and a pineapple please." to the man behind the counter. She took hers and handed Emmy hers. Walking over she sat down on a bench and placed Emmy beside her. "Is that good?" Lilah asked kindly.

Lilah looked up when a girl who looked a little like Monica joined them. She smiled at the girl.

"Well I am 14 as well, that makes me a year younger than Monica. I am from a small town in France called Julie. I attend Beauxbatons School of witchcraft. Monica and I have been friends all our lives and For fun I like to Play Quidditch, sing and Ijust developed an interest in Muggle surfing." She said softly, looking up at the cute boy sitting next to her as she took another bite of her Ice cream.

"Uh-Huh!" Emmy said excitedly nodding and grinning. she looked lile an elf with Ice cream all over her face.

Monica looked up from where she was at with Zachery and waved to her little sister. "Hey Ter-Bear!"
