The Gryffindors sit at a long stretch of table, piled high with foods pertaining to each meal time. It has been said by some that the Hogwarts House Elves are the best in the world. It is up to your stomach to agree.

Ronnie walked with Ella and sat down at the Gryffindor table. "So, I'm sorry to hear about.. you and Harvey." she said with a frown. "Are you doing okay?" she asked, wondering if this was making Ella uncomfortable or anything to talk about it.

Ella plopped down next to Ronnie and immediately poured herself some pumpkin juice. Taking a large sip, the blonde then sighed happily. Mmmmmm! She nearly choked on her juice at what her friend said, coughing and sputtering for a moment or two.
BLINK.
"I...sorry, I'm okay." She said, grabbing a napkin and wiping at her mouth. "Erm yeah...that was really bad." Getting your heart stomped on, not something she'd recommend to anyone. Not, that she hadn't done some stomping too. >.< That made it even worse. "I uh...I'm okay. I'm just trying my best to move on and stop feeling so sad." And this was making her feel quite guilty because it was clear Harvey wasn't ready to move on yet. "I dunno...it's just weird, not having him around all the time."

Ronnie bit her lip as Ella suddenly choked on her juice. Okay, so it wasn't a good idea to bring this up...poor Ella. This sounded awful.
Ronnie nodded knowingly. "I totally understand that. I've been in your place one time too." she said, putting an arm around her friend and giving her shoulder a little squeeze. "But it'll be alright, okay? Everything will turn out fine. Trust me." she said, smiling reasurringly. She then began to fill her plate a little bit.
"So anyways, are you enjoying your classes so far?" she asked as she began eating.

Ella felt bad because really, she should be able to talk about this by now without getting all awkward and just...well, sad. The blonde looked up at her friend and nodded, giving her a faint smile. "It's just a...normal part of growing up, yeah?" That's what her Gran had said, at least. Not helpful information, by the way. No kid wanted to hear that when they were heartbroken. #Justsaying. The squeeze? It helped and Ella agreed with Ronnie about things being okay...eventually. "I know they will...I'll just erm, try and not think about it too much." Because she really was working on the not over-thinking thing. She too began to fill her plate with food before looking at Ronnie again. "Thanks." For the reassuring words and such.
Classes? Now that was a subject Ella could discuss. "I'm really enjoying them so far, especially runes." Had Ronnie been in that class? Ella didn't remember seeing her there. "It was quite cool getting to act like Thor... even if that hammer was extremely heavy." She'd done it though, with the use of magic and all but still. "What about you? Enjoying classes?"

Ronnie smiled a little and shrugged. "Yeah, I guess so." she said. She then nodded. "It'll be okay. And you could start with that...and sometimes it actually helps to just let out all that you're feeling and just talk about it. Or you could do things to just take your mind off it...like hanging around your friends, reading a book, drawing...do things you love doing. For example, I like to fly around the pitch sometimes. It really helps clear my head." she suggested. She then smiled. "No problem, Ella. I'm here for you if you ever want to talk." she said with a firm nod.
"You are? That's good." Ronnie said with a smile. She laughed at what Ella next said. "That sounds like fun!" she said. She then nodded. "Yeah, they're good."
After an hour of doing homework reading Quidditch magazines she deemed it right to go up for some food. You know, re-energize and all that jazz.
She walked up to the Slytherin table and pouted at it. There was no one she recognized there. And she didn't want to eat alone and look like a loser, 'cause Baltazars were not losers. She glanced over at the Gryffindor table and thought she saw the back of a familiar lion. She skipped her way there, but...
...the dude wasn't Seth.
D'aww! She REALLY wanted to bug him and stuff. She glanced around the table. Hmm...maybe someone knew where he was? "Oi, anyone know who and where Seth is?" she announced, taking a cookie from the table.

She was staaaarving!
Today had been...interesting...yeah...she'd just call it that. One minute she was going down the moving staircases and the next thing she knew she was bolting after a rogue chocolate frog! The incident had been so horrific; the wonderful piece of candy slipping from her grasp, getting away. It was enough to make her cry.
Of course there was no time for that!! Nope! She had to bolt down the stairs, occasionally hopping across a gap or two. It would NOT get away!!!
By the time she finally caught the thing she was sufficiently out of breath and in need of 'real food'.
This could only mean one thing. It was time for a trip to the Great Hall. Lex skipped into the large room and headed for the Gryffindor table. She plopped down into an empty seat (looks like she was in time for lunch) and helped herself to a turkey sandwich and chips.
In the middle of her munching she heard someone break the near silence of the afternoon. She looked over curiously at the Slytherin at the table. "Who's Seth?" She couldn't help but ask, with a tilt of her head. "And how come you're looking for him?"

Was no one going to answer her? Peyton was about to turn and leave, but a Gryffindor spoke. Ah, good. She deserved an answer since she asked nicely.
"He's my..." What was he? They weren't necessarily friends, nor enemies. She liked to push his buttons quite a lot. So what did that make them? Hmm. "My homework helping person." Peyton also liked copying from his notes. Heh. Though, he didn't let her copy off his own homework, which she wasn't too pleased with, but she'd work on that.
"I wanted him to help me with homework," Peyton said, flopping herself across the Gryffindor girl. "And I didn't want to eat by myself. Don't want to seem like a loser, you know." She grabbed a sandwich, several cookies and mounted them on a plate, oblivious to what she said.
Eating at the Gryffindor table should be nice, no?

She took another bite of her sandwich as she listened to the girl explain. "Interesting..." She said, taking it all in. "What kind of homework?" Lex wouldn't have minded doing homework with her. It was better than going at it alone because then she never usually got the right answers.
It was a wonder she wasn't failing very many of her subjects...
She scooted over a bit to give the girl who was clearly planning to stay a place to sit. "That's cool. I want some company anyway. It's no fun eating alone--hey you know what just hit me???" She put the sandwich down and turned slightly so she was now staaaaaaring at the girl. "You're new right? I mean I haven't seen you around before now really. I like new things--er...not that you're a thing of course because you're not. You're a girl." Nod nod nod.
"I'm Alexa, Alexa Cambridge. And you are?"
A snake as lunch company. Stranger things had happened.

"All of it," Peyton answered, truthfully. What was the point of lying? The redhead didn't like homework, nor studying, nor reading...basically, anything that required her sitting down for long periods of time. She'd rather be eating, reading Quidditch magazines, writing fan mail to her favorite Quidditch players, flying, polishing her broom and bat, AND/OR playing Quidditch.
Her life revolves around the sport.
Peyton made herself comfortable, and grabbed another cookie even though she wasn't done with the food in her plate. She was going to eat all of it. Really. Peyton looked up from her plate and actually looked around searching for the thing that had hit the girl and planning to dodge it herself. It wasn't a thing though.
She blinked at the girl. She was rambling. Peyton didn't mind rambling. She grinned. "Yeah, I'm a transfer student from Salem's--it's in the United States," she added. A thought then crossed this Baltazar's mind. She's been searching for a person to tell her all about the in's and out's of Hogwarts. So far, everyone ended talking about themselves. Talk about self-centered.
"I'm Peyton Baltazar," she said, picking up a cookie. She munched on it and then leaned against the table. "What year are you, Alexa?" This was important to Peyton's investigation. If she was too young she might not know EVERYTHING about Hogwarts. Or maybe she was wrong, heh.

Lex giggled at the girl's response. "I feel the exact same way about my own." Homework SUCKED, end of discussion. Sometimes it could be fun but only on those odd occasions when she wasn't stuck at the study table trying to write an essay on something that required prior reading. Those never ended well and she almost felt sorry for the Professors who had to read her ramblings...though she suspected some of them were entertained by them.
The 2nd year reached across the table and snatched a chocolate muffin. It was no chocolate frog but it still had chocolate in it and that was good enough for her!
She sunk her teeth into it as she went on listening.
"Whoa, Salem! I haven't met many people from there...in fact I think I only ever met this one dude...yeah...that's about as far as I know. Does that mean you're American or were you just going there?" She knew someone else who did that. Kaiden. He went there for a year...she never did find out way...
Lex nodded at the girl's introduction. She would wait to ensure the girl was actual a pleasure to be met before giving a further response. She would answer her question though! "I'm a second year! What about you??" Please don't say third year! It wasn't fair. All the new people were third years, there was no one for her!

Ella listened quietly to Ronnie's advice, nodding occasionally so the older girl knew she was listening. The girl had a point, about talking about your feelings. It was just that Ella wasn't so good at that, expressing herself with words. She tended to get all mixed up and confused and it just didn't seem to work. The blonde smiled a little at the mention of flying, nodding her head. "I do that too, go flying to clear my head." Being up in the air was actually one of Ella's favorite things in the world. "Maybe we could go flying sometime?" Cause that might be fun. "I appreciate that and um...same goes for you, okay?" The blonde had been told she was a pretty good listener and she never minded helping a friend...or anyone, for that matter.
"I am." Nod.Nod. Ella always enjoyed classes, having always liked learning new things. And the Thor thing? It totally was fun! "It was really cool! ...Really challenging, but cool!" Besides, what was class without some challenges? "I'm glad you think so." The blonde said, reaching forward and pouring herself some more pumpkin juice.

"Nice!" Ronnie said, smiling and pouring herself some pumpkin juice as well. "So, what's your favorite class out of alll of them?" she asked before taking a sip.

Peyton was glad she found someone who felt the same way about homework as she did. Seth was all goody-two-shoes and loves reading. Pffft. It made her look bad...well, if they were ever compared them to each other, which WASN'T going to happen. "I mean, like, why do we need homework, you know?" It was useless and time consuming. It was also a Quidditch-blocker.
She eyed the muffin Lex picked up and went back to her oatmeal cookie. She didn't like chocolate. Except chocolate syrup on ice cream. Now that was yummy.
Nodding, Peyton finished chewing her cookie. "Yeah," she said, "it's not as cool as Hogwarts, though." If it had been then she wouldn't be here in the first place. Was she American? Peyton shook her head with a grin, that soon showed a bit of pride. "Nope, I'm from Scotland just like my daddy." Cue proud smile. "I only went to Salem 'cause my dad had business stuff over there, but we moved back here when he bought a sweet shop in Diagon Alley," she said, parting another cookie in two and eating the first half.
Oh. Lex was a second year, but she seemed to be more alert than the other young peeps she's met. Peyton would give her a chance. Yep. "I'm a third year," she said, flashing Lex a smiled that very much resembled her fathers. Should she attack her with questions? Maybe not just yet, heh.

"That's what I'M saying!!!" Finally someone that understood! How many headaches would the child have to get before they all decided that homework was more evil than necessary and simply stopped handing it out??? Merlin and to think they were supposed to be the highly educated ones! "I have yet to see the point in homework, it just keeps me away from my bed at nights!" And the last she checked that was a rather rude thing to do.
She nodded, taking another bite of her muffin. Oh? Did Peyton want one too? Was that why she was looking at it like that? Lex reached over and grabbed a muffin for the girl too. There! Now they could both enjoy the chocolate!!! "I don't think anywhere's as cool as Hogwarts. We've got all the adventures that end up in the media!!" Whether that was something to be proud of or not she WAS proud because they got all the cool stuff that kept you entertained between classes!
Wait, hold on, SlytherinGirlSayWhat???
Her eyes widened. "Is your dad the owner of Sugarplums?? I love it there!! It's my favourite shop in Diagon Alley!" BEAM. "I've met him before! He walked up to me while I was shaking the gumball machine!!!" Good old gumball machine. Sigh...
Lex scowled a bit. Another third year. Great, because they didn't already have enough of those. "Interesting...well have you gotten the basic run down of the school from any of the other third years?" Because, you know, she could totally fill her in. Nod.

Okay. This girl was earning major points in Peyton's book. No one has ever expressed themselves about homework like THIS. It was awesome. "I know right," she said, smiling and nodded at the next thing Lex said. "Yeah, and it keeps me from practicing for Quidditch." And that was bad, but she had to get good marks in all her classes or her daddy would ground her and that meant not Quidditch. Oh the horror that would be. "I think the professors use it as a form of torture," she said, in way that was the utmost serious truth.
Why else would they assign it? Exactly!
Torture.
Oh. She was handing her a chocolate muffin. Peyton stared at it. "Erm, no thanks. I'm not a big fan of chocolate," she said, trying to sound polite. Believe it or not, this has brought on feuds for the young snake. That and she whacked a lot of her classmates back at Salem's. What? They earned it. "Oh tell me about it," she said, referring to Hogwarts' popularity. "My daddy almost kept me from coming because he's afraid I'll get eaten by a man-eating plant. I told him that was impossible." It was. "I'm too smart to get near one willingly." Now, if it was a bet then...yeah.
Heh, she liked that Lex looked impress about her daddy being the owner of Sugarplums. "Yeah, and it's mine too. Well, besides the ice cream shop - that's my ultimate favorite." 'Cause ice cream was super awesome and tasty. "No way! You shook it too?!" she beamed. "I always do that behind my dad's back. He freaks out whenever someone handles his "precious" wrong. But, I mean, come on, that thing is selfish and doesn't share gumballs." True fact, man. Peyton couldn't count the times she's done it. There was probably a dent to the side of it if anyone cared to look closely at it. She'd hit it with her bat once when her dad was stocking something in the back room, hehe.
Did Lex not like Peyton being a third year? Or maybe she was jealous of being young? Meh, whatever it was wasn't as important as what the Gryffindor girl just said. "I haven't and I've been looking for someone to do so!" Did she just read her mind or what? "Care to give me the 'basic run down' yourself?" she asked, wiggling her eyebrows.
Yeah I broke that mirror, so what? ll NOT backward ll Official Gryfferin ll Lemon's favourite

And that was bad, but she had to get good marks in all her classes or her daddy would ground her and that meant not Quidditch. Oh the horror that would be. "I think the professors use it as a form of torture," she said, in way that was the utmost serious truth.
Why else would they assign it? Exactly!
Torture.
Oh. She was handing her a chocolate muffin. Peyton stared at it. "Erm, no thanks. I'm not a big fan of chocolate," she said, trying to sound polite. Believe it or not, this has brought on feuds for the young snake. That and she whacked a lot of her classmates back at Salem's. What? They earned it. "Oh tell me about it," she said, referring to Hogwarts' popularity. "My daddy almost kept me from coming because he's afraid I'll get eaten by a man-eating plant. I told him that was impossible." It was. "I'm too smart to get near one willingly." Now, if it was a bet then...yeah.
Heh, she liked that Lex looked impress about her daddy being the owner of Sugarplums. "Yeah, and it's mine too. Well, besides the ice cream shop - that's my ultimate favorite." 'Cause ice cream was super awesome and tasty. "No way! You shook it too?!" she beamed. "I always do that behind my dad's back. He freaks out whenever someone handles his "precious" wrong. But, I mean, come on, that thing is selfish and doesn't share gumballs." True fact, man. Peyton couldn't count the times she's done it. There was probably a dent to the side of it if anyone cared to look closely at it. She'd hit it with her bat once when her dad was stocking something in the back room, hehe.
Did Lex not like Peyton being a third year? Or maybe she was jealous of being young? Meh, whatever it was wasn't as important as what the Gryffindor girl just said. "I haven't and I've been looking for someone to do so!" Did she just read her mind or what? "Care to give me the 'basic run down' yourself?" she asked, wiggling her eyebrows.
"Not to mention it keeps me from going about the castle finding fun stuff." Mischief was fun, it really was, but she couldn't go around finding it when she was being bombarded by essays and year long finals. Those sucked away precious time that could be used for something else. "And that's most definitely true." Agreeing with the idea of it being for torture of course. "I can't tell you how many times I get a headache just making attempts at Arithmancy." It was TRUE. That subject was TERRIBLE.
Numbers were never a good thing which explained all that quite nicely. See, at her muggle school math wasn't all that bad and she wasn't horrid at it but here it was just different. Everything here was different.
Oh?
"You're not? How come?" She asked before taking another bite of her own muffin. "Chocolate's so amazing!" This made possibly the third person she'd ever met in her entire life who didn't like chocolate and the other two were allergic so they had an excuse! This news was followed by even more shocking news. "Seriously? Pfffft. That plant wasn't so bad. It only took two Professors and the one kid it took it didn't eat him...a terrible shame really." And then she sighed that sigh you sigh when the perfect plan was ruined by simple things. If Milton had gotten himself eaten life would be better for her and Lottie.
O_____O
She KNEW it!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"You shake it toooooo???" This was almost enough to have her completely spazzing out. "It IS selfish! It's never given me my gumballs without me putting up a fight before, you know. And your father, he's ridiculous--funny--but ridiculous. Why does he call it his baby then say we have to be nice???" This girl seemed to understand her on SO many levels. It was almost scary.
Eeeeep! Now she was giving her permission to fill her head with over exaggerations clue her in!! Lex dropped the muffin onto her plate then took a moment to get any crumbs off her mouth. This was important stuff you know. "I could give you the basic run down, no problem!" BEAM. "Let's see...where to begin...? Oh, so there's this forbidden forest, or well they say it's forbidden but it's super cool in there, just don't get caught going in there and you'll be good. The moving staircases are actually a ride--yup, it's true. You can just hop across them and ride them places." Nod nod nod. "The house elves are meant to be tackled to the floor and given hugs ...but uh..be careful because once when I did it totally started crying...." Yeah...not one of her better moments. "There's so much to tell you though...is there anything in particular you want to know about?"

Sarah headed down to the Great Hall, reather quickly as she had to eat breakfast and better yet she needed to read the Daily Prophet, having recently subscribed. She smil;ed a greeting to the others already there and poured herself some hot cocoa... it was great they had it in the winter. Anyways she had to take her 'medicines' that this muggle doctor had prescribed for before she came to Hogwarts... that was after she used to annoy her brothers with her endless energy.
She then noticed the owls coming in and she loved the fact that the owl was heading towards her. She paid the owl and then took out the newspaper and soon was lost in the news. She smiled as she red about the BoG debate.. after all she was on the student committee. She then read and read and before she knew it she had finished reading the newspaper and her food was cold.. including her cocoa. Knowing that it tasted much nicer when it was hot she took out her wand... this called for Chaudensis. She made a circular motion with her wrist and said, "Chaudensis"... the cocoa began to warm itself up. Once she was satified she took out her pills that were clenched in her hand and began to pop them in her mouth one by one and drink it down with her cocoa. Next she ate her omelet. She liked breakfast at Hogwarts

With a gift box held tightly in one hand and a small tub of glue held in the other, Alec made his way towards the Gryffindor House Table where he had said he'd meet Tag for this little... well... he had only told Tag that he'd meet the guy here. He hadn't really told the guy why he was meeting him here. As far as the guy knew, they could just be getting some pizza together here.
... That didn't sound like a bad idea, actually.
Alec looked up and down the table and grinned slightly when he didn't notice the familiar spikey-blonde hair. Awesome. Now he could try and stick the pieces together and put it back in the box neatly before Tag got here. Alec made his way along the table and sat down at an empty spot. He placed the box in front of him and opened it slightly to reveal four marbley pieces that seemed to glint ever so slightly. GRIN. This looked pretty awesome! And shiny!
Right. To the task at hand.
The fifteen year old took out his wand and took hold of a red piece and a green piece. He then tapped the back side of the green piece, muttered the sticking charm and quickly placed it down onto the red piece. He took hold of the two pieces and shook them, trying to see if they became unattached. ... NOPE. GRIN. Tap tap for the yellow and red pieces and... now he had a green piece marbley piece mounted onto a red and a yellow one mounted onto another red piece. Eihwaz and Sowilo.
... Wait... this was meant to be a surprise...
Blinking, Alec quickly placed the two pieces back in the box gently and closed the box. There. Now he just had to wait for Tag...

For some odd reason Tag was slightly worried and suspicious that Alec had asked him how he was doing and that he wanted to talk to Tag. Not like their usual chats not even they understood sometimes, it was like Alec needed to know how Tag's life was going. He wasn't sure why he found this suspicious of Alec, but Tag said he'd meet Alec in the great hall.
He looked down the table and saw Alec sitting somewhere in the middle and, with a huge smile on his face, Tag went over to Alec and sat in front of him."I, Tag fake name inserted Fredrick Kildare, have arrived to saidith place that you sir, Alec insert my fake middle name for you Dax Summers, hath told me to find myself uponth. What is it that you request of me, my sir?" Yeah. Tag just went there. He went old school English on Alec. BOOM. Top that fancy people from the past. Oh then he bowed hastily.

... He had a small packet of glue on the table.
BLINK.
What if Tag came and saw this glue just sitting there? And figured things out? ... Okay... no, he couldn't really figure out anything because he needed to open the box first, yeah? But what if he did... and noticed the glue... and then... GULP. Alec placed a hand on top of the small packet of glue and rolled it down the table and away from him. There. Now Tag wouldn't be able to suspect a thing! GRIN.
... And... speaking of Tag...
BLINK. BLINK.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
That was Alec's first response to Tag's speech. Just a full on burst of laughter. This was one of the reasons why he really liked being best mates with this dude. You could never have a dull moment around him. Never ever ever! And even something as simple as speaking in Old English -- was this even Old English? -- seemed to be a lot funnier coming out of this guy's mouth.
... Okay... he needed to get his breathing back.
Taking a deep breath and sitting up straight, Alec looked back up at Tag and grinned. "Well... you see, my humble knight," Tag in a knight costume... new idea for the next costume party? "I have a little gift I would like to bestow upon you and your..." Pause. "... humbleness." Yeah... he wasn't great at this at all. Grinning at the guy, Alec slid a box forward. Inside, were two colourful marbles that were small enough to fit into the palm of the guy's hand.
...
Maybe he'll just... wait to give the description for these.

Haha. Alec was trying to follow Tag's lead. Tag had to give him props though, Alec did pretty well with the old english speech, he might have even used fancier words than Tag had himself. The little irish man pointed very excitedly at Alec in return for doing the same as Tag had.
When Alec passed the gift to Tag he stared upon on it, one eyebrow raised and a very very confused look etched upon his face. Marbles?
"My dear companion are you saying that I have," dramatic pause, "lost my mind over time? Why, what do these marbles hide in themselves, what secrets do they wish to keep from curious eyes and thinking minds?" Tag actually hoped he really hadn't lost his mind, his marbles. Maybe Alec was trying to use symbolism or something?

Why, what do these marbles hide in themselves, what secrets do they wish to keep from curious eyes and thinking minds?" Tag actually hoped he really hadn't lost his mind, his marbles. Maybe Alec was trying to use symbolism or something?
The Hufflepuff let out another chuckle at his Gryffindor counterpart's words. "Well my sugar coated cheeks, these marbles contain messages. Deep messages that one can find in the yellowest of parchments," Was that even a word? Yellowest? "Many have used these messages to determine their future paths while others have used it to bestow upon their most faithful knights.... a gift!"
Yeah... he was going to drop the act for a bit...
Alec cleared his throat before continuing, "You see, mate, this is for Ancient Runes. We had to make these... erm... lumps? Yeah, we had to make them out of clay and they turned all marbley!" Did Tag notice how shiny they were? "We're meant to pick a person, figure out a rune for them and then give it to the person. So, naturally, I picked you!" GRIN.
Now... onto the main explanation. "You see the one that looks like a wonky, flippy sidey Z shape? The green and red one? That one's Eihwaz and that represents what you've been through," This... was the hardest part. Alec's voice dropped a little, matching the same dropping motion that was going on in his chest. "That's meant to represent things like change, confrontation of fears and... erm... death."
... Almost wobbly!chin...
"It's meant to show the things about you... and... erm... yourmum. How... yeah. It's represented by the yew tree which represents death as well." Please don't be sad Tag... please... "But you know what's really awesome about the yew tree? It stays green all year round! Which means that even through the harshest of times, I guess... it still stays strong. And that reminded me of you. You remember that time when you told me what happened on your birthday? Well... I just thought... mate, you were really strong throughout it all. And I guess that can show that I'm really proud of you for that." Nodnod.
There was probably a lot more he was missing out and he would just read out passages from the book but... that wouldn't mean as much. Not really. So he just continued with his own ramblings, hoping that Tag understood what he was trying to say. "It also says things about change and... you haven't really changed. But that's really awesome!" Nodnod. "I mean... you're the same person you were back when I met you by the Duck Pond. The only difference is that... you'e gone through things. Things that I wish I could help make all better with a wave of my wand," As, you know, a wizard. Not as a fairy godmother. "But I can't so... I guess... you could use that to show you that things happen and not all of them will be great but... you're brave enough to get through it all."
Deeeeeeeeeeeep breath...
And now onto the next rune...
"Okay... the next one's a bit happier!" And maybe shorter too, no doubt. "You see the yellow and red one? That's Sowilo. That represents your personality and what I think you're like to other people," WAS HE READY FOR HAPPY STUFF? "It's represented by the sun! And the sun is AWESOME because when you see the sun, it's always happy! Like... like you know when you're a kid? And you used to draw the sun in the corner of the page? The sun always used to have a smile of a cheesy grin and sunglasses!" Because it was that cool.
... Erm... what was his point again?
"The book says that the sun is sacred," Meaning that it had to be very true, yeah? "So dude! That makes you sacred! ... Yeah... and it means all these good things because the sun is just... a really happy sign! It's a sign of growth and success and ice cream!" ... He wanted ice cream now. "You're like... this really happy guy, you know. I mean, everytime we talk, I always end up grinning like THIS WIDE!" And then Alec showed him by grinning SUPER WIDELY. "And I think... I think a lot of people see you as that as well. Like some sort of really strong, charismatic guy who's always there for other people. Just like the sun helps the moon shine, you always find a way to help others and... well... I really admire that, dude."
...
How long had he been talking for?
"Erm... so... yeah! I guess I'm giving you that marbley piece to show you what I think you're like and just to say that... well... never change who you are. There are a lot of positive things attached to this rune and you're brilliant so... yeah..." Also the sun reminded him of summer which was SUPER CLOSE to his, Alec's, surname. That... didn't link a lot to Tag but Alec liked it. "So one can help you through tough times, just in case I'm not there to give you pasta while the other... the other's just to remind you of who you are." Nodnod.

That... didn't link a lot to Tag but Alec liked it. "So one can help you through tough times, just in case I'm not there to give you pasta while the other... the other's just to remind you of who you are." Nodnod.
... And now he could breathe. GRIN.
Tag listened as Alec told him, still in the fancy voice, what these little marbles meant. So they held some meaning inside them. This could be interesting to hear about. An of course, Tag would pay extra attention because it was Alec, and he had asked Tag to come and talk to him. "I like gifts a lot!" Tag said excitedly as he pounded his hands on the table.
Then Alec went on for how these marbles were for class and Tag nodded a bit more. So, he figured he turned out to be, as Alec explained, a part of Alec's homework or classwork. Tag didn't mind. In fact he liked the recoginition, so when Alec announced that he decided to do the work on Tag he smiled so big that he show all his teeth. "Thanks, mate!" It was like Alec was gonna give Tag a free gypsy reading.
When Alec explained what the green and red one looked like he couldn't help but laugh a bit. "That's a very descriptive description of the marble, Alec." Tag said quietly chuckling. His smile slowly started to fade away with each word of what the marble represented. Change-a lot had happened over the past year to year and a half for Tag, confrontation of fear, everyone knew Tag's fear and it happened and he lived in it but was doing better in forgetting that. An then Alec mentioned a very bad word. Death. Now his smile was completely gone and the corners of his eyes were getting blurry and a bit wet, but there weren't actual tears.
"What's special about the yew tree?" Tag should've shut up because Alec ended up answering that second later. "I'm green. I'm a leprechaun... and Irish. " So far he was believing the message that the marble represented. When his birthday was mentioned Tag nodded. "You mean, you thought I was strong because I went to your quidditch match to support you? Rather than staying in bed crying all morning?" His throat was becoming unbelievably dry when Alec said he was proud of him. "Thank you." Tag said gratefully to Alec, as he wiped a tear with the sleeve of his jacket.
With the next part though, the change, Tag could agree to it to some extent, even though Alec didn't. He had changed a lot over the past year, to the point where he was mad with anger, and things got to him really easily. But once he got rid of the excess weight he felt happy again and Tag-ish, so he nodded again at Alec mentioning Tag still being the same."I did change, for a while though, but I went back to being Tag afterwards." Awww, and then Alec mentioned the duck pond, and although Tag couldn't muster a smile like he had done at the beginning of this, he still managed to smile to an extent. More nodding from Tag at Alec's words.
"Yellow and red." Tag said absentmindly as he held that marble in his hand, "Gryffindor and Hufflepuff colors. Gryffinpuffs." Another smile inserted here. "I remember drawing those suns. And I remember our flying ducks is the new sun or something like that, conversation we had a few months ago."
And now Alec was telling Tag he was sacred just like the sun. He shouldn't have been doing this, but Tag was smirking because he was reminded of being the sun. "Its a sign of ice cream?" Tag repeated as he shook his head at the hufflepuff's thoughts. Leave it to Alec to randomly menton ice cream. As awkward as Alec was with his words sometimes, how he talked that was, he was really making Tag smile again because he was throwing out all these compliments and nice things about his leprechaun friend, so much that his face was turning red. "I guess I do help a lot of my friends. " Sometimes Tag felt like the older one when he saw that Alec was sad and needed someone to talk to. Something always turned and changed in him when he had to help his friends, or be soft with them or hug them. He'd learned over the past few weeks that he had helped his friends a lot.
"Thank you, again."
"I'll try to stay the same then. I like who I am." He said smiling at himself as he took the second marble, and then he took the first one he'd received from Alec, stared at it a little bit, glanced at the table momentarily and held it in his other hand.
