Ronnie looked out to the ocean, thinking. Then she heard voices calling her over. Oh, no she wanted to be alone! This was her one chance to be alone for once. What with all her friends staying at her house, too many people to run into at Diagon Alley, and here at the party. She wanted to be alone, so she pretended that the waves of the ocean had drowned out their voices. She put her hand in the sand and began piling it into a mountain and destroyed it. She smiled at stared back at the waves.

Harvey saw that she didnt look at them but instead continued to look out to the ocean.. "Oh she probably didnt hear us.. well that means more time for us.. I guess." he said smiling at Minnie and putting his arm around her again and holding her close to him..

She nodded. She looked down at the sand then up at the training grounds. Let's see what Justin knows about swords. She pet the house softly, as he trolled to the training grounds. "I'm going to name him...Excalibur." She liked that name, and since, as Justin said, he had power, it fit him.

Ronnie quickly glanced over to them to make sure they hadn't walked over to her. Phew! That was good. She then looked around for a more...private place but didn't see any. She sighed and sat there when she remembered she had brought her painting stuff in her bag. This ocean was perfect to paint! She dashed to the cave, snatched her bag (that had an extension charm on it) and dug in it for her painting supplies. She set it all up and began painting the beach.

Ronnie never painted this good in her life! She took a look at what she had so far: A beach with a giant moon over it. It was like an exact picture of what was really in front of her. She blinked. No, she did NOT paint this! Impossible! She shook her head and smiled. It WAS her! SHE painted it! Ronnie! Ronnie Jean Weasley! She beamed at her work, and then painted the silhouettes of two people, a boy and a girl, sitting together in front of the water. The girl was leaning her head on the boy's shoulder, and the boy had his arm around the girl. Finally, Ronnie was finished. She smiled at her work.

" Excalibur? I think it's fitting of him. " Justin agreed. " So, where are you taking me? " he smiled as they rode on.

She moved back closer to Harvey. "Yes, i guess it does."

Ronnie took a look at her painting of the couple by the beach. She didn't know who she meant these two to be, really. She sighed and scratched her head. Ame and Justin? Maybe. Harvey and Minnie? Maaaybe. Holli and Rupert? Could be. Josh and Rose? You never know. . . then it hit her! IT WAS RONNIE AND JORDAN! She let out a happy squeal and stared longingly at the painting. Yeah, that was definitely Ronnie's long orange hair, and that was a perfect image or Jordan. She sighed and kept staring hungrily at it. She wanted that picture to come alive. To sit right there with Jordan. She loved Jordan. She really did. She loved him ever since she had met him. She kept staring at the picture, it was like the Mirror of Erised. She then began crying silently. It was a stupid thing to cry over, but whatever.

Soon, her crying had gotten louder. Her knees gave way and she was now on the ground, staring up at the picture crying again. Her head ached. Her HEART ached. She wanted Jordan, but she couldn't have him. First, she would be far away from him. Second, he probably only liked Ronnie as a friend. She wanted Minnie to come comfort her. She wanted Minnie. That was all. No one else. She slowly turned her head to call out to Minnie, but stopped herself at the sight of them...cuddling or whatever that was. She decided not to interrupt anything important and looked back at the stupid picture. She slowly stood up and picked it up and threw it out into the sea, never wanting to see it again.

Harvey smiled as she moved closer to him "Yes it does!" he said kissing her on her head.. "Yeah so we were talking about before.. its ok .. if you do or say something that I dont like as I will know that it isnt you.. I mean these moments we have had.. we have had since the beginning.. just us two.. so I will know." he said to her.. hoping that those angry moments didnt come but if they did he would support her and help her in any way he could..

She smiled as Excalibur set foot on the grassy area full of ready-to-beat dummies. She hopped off the horse and led him to the small pond and barrel of apples. She tied him up and ran off to a shed. "You'll see."

Minerva smiled up at Harvey as he kissed her. "Harvey someday hopefully I can really tell you what all went on, but I can't right now." She looked away and that's when she noticed Ronnie looking upset. "Umm Harvey please stay here I will be back." She got up and went over to Ronnie. 'Ronnie what's wrong?"

Harvey smiled at Minnie and listened to what she said "Its ok.. Mins you dont have to .. but if you do then you are more than welcome to.. its ok.. you dont have to do it right now.. I am just happy that you are back.." he said smiling as she looked over to Ronnie.. and said that she would be right back "Oh ook.. sure.. take your time" he said wondering why she went over.. he looked at Ronnie and saw that she was not happy.. he wanted to go over but he knew she would probably do better with Minnie by her side so he waited and watched the two girls ..

What was wrong? "I've been asking myself the same question." she said laughing a little. She pointed to the painting that was floating away, and suddenly stood up and ran after it. Good thing it didn't go too far out. She brought it back and put it in front of Minnie to show her the painting of her and Jordan on the beach. "I-I-I didn't even know I was drawing us." she said, a puzzled look on her face. "It's how I paint. My mind goes blank and my hand does all the work." she said sighing. "It's like my hand as a mind of its own.." she said, glaring at her work.

Minerva looked at the picture. "Oh Ronnie it's you and Jordan. I'm sorry hun. Does he know how you really feel?"

Ronnie half laughed nervously. "It's okay...er...no he doesn't. But if I told him he might not talk to me anymore. Rose told him she liked him a long time ago, and he didn't talk to her for a long time..." she said. "I don't know what to do." she said. Then she paused. "I'm going away, anyway!" she said. "I have to tell him, Minnie...don't I?" she asked, looking at her.

Minerva looked at her and gave her a quick smile. "Ronnie it's the perfect time to tell him. If he doesn't feel the same way then you are leaving and don't have to feel awkward around him. If he does like you then you will workout a long distant relationship. See perfect time."

Minnie was right, it WAS the perfect time to tell him! "But Minnie, how do I tell him, exactly?" she asked, glancing at the painting at back at Minnie.

Minerva smiled "Just tell him. Don't beat around the bush about it. Next time you see him just tell him."

" Oh I will, will I. " Justin said as he ran up behind her a grabbed her and kissed her. " What's all this? Are you gonna teach me what you've been doing out here? " Justin said excitedly. He couldn't wait to see how Ame had been training.

"Yeah, you will." Amethyst blushed deeply when he grabbed and kissed her. "Yes, I'm going to have to train you, Harvs, and Mins anyhow." She giggled. Perhaps Justin could teach Harvey while she taught Minerva. She went and got her fifteen inch sword, tossing Justin a similar black and yellow word. Same length, and all.

Ronnie smiled. "Thanks Minnie. I know I've said this a million times, more or less, but you are truly a real amazing friend." she said hugging her before getting a new sheet ready for her next painting. "Hmm..." she said, putting her hands on her hips before taking the brush and painting.

"There we go!" she said once she had finished. She had painted the same painting of the beach, except this time it was Harvey and Minnie sitting on the shore. She smiled. She took the painting and handed it to Minnie. "For you, Minnie." she said. "Thanks for everything." she said.

Minnie watched Ronnie paint and then looked at the painting. 'Oh my Ronnie this is beautiful. Can you put your signature on it? Then when you are famous one day I can say I have a Ronnie original." She smiled and gave Ronnie a hug.

Justin caught the sword Amethyst had tossed to him. He held the sword so that the blade was in front of his face so he could look at style of the sword.
" So, Madamoiselle. What will we be learning this evening? " Justin said as he gave her his famous little half smiles.

She quickly tossed him a shield. She placed her own shield on and began his first lesson. "Alright, first we are going to learn to fight from ready position." She held the shield in front of her chest and her sword next to it with her arm slightly bent. "This is the the ready position."

Justin caught the sheid Ame had tossed to him and saw that she was all about business now. So, without saying a word him Put his sheild in front of his chest with his sword right next to it with a slight bend in his elbow.

She smiled, nodding to him. "Very good. Now, to get the weapon from your opponent's hand, do a vertical slash. It is very similar concept to a tennis serve." She brought the sword up and slashed it down across her body. She didn't use a dummy or directed the move to Justin. She just did it in then air.
