Reese felt someone take a hold of her hand and she lifted her head to look at Emiliano.It was strange that he always showed up in the most akwardest moments,but she was glad he was here. "H-H-He-y,"she said through her tears. She took the handkerchief from Emiliano and wiped her eyes.

"I-It's b-becauce C-C-C-Cale is l-l-l-l-eaving,"she managed to say.She pushed herself closer to Emiliano and laid her head down on his chest. "I d-don't w-want him t-t-to l-l-leave."

Emiliano hugged Reese back with the intension to calm her just a little bit. "Hey...you knew this was coming. It's part of all growing up." He told Reese, trying not to even make himself cry. Sure departings were sad. He just hated that from everytime he moved out.

Reese curled back into her little ball next to Emiliano. "Yeah,I knew it was coming. I just...I just don't like thinking about it,"she told him. "He's like my brother and him leaving will just crush me." Another few tears rolled down her face as she spoke. "You know what,Emiliano. I think I might be going through depression or something. I've lost interest in everything...even eating,"she said.

Emiliano just couldn't say anything that may or not make Reese a little more happier. "I know it's sad, to say bye, to someone you love very much and have spent so many happy times with. But hey, there are vacations and I'm sure Cale wouldn't mind writing you, visiting your home...and even coming here for Hogsmeade weekends..." He told her. It was just a suggestion. "You are growing up as well..." He said, taking her hand with a smile. "...and remember that everyone is here for you." He finally said.

"I guess you're right,"Reese said.She wiped her eyes,again,with the handkerchief."I just...cannot image Hogwarts without Cale.I've been friends with him for forever."She looked at Emiliano when he tok her hand,again. "Yeeeah,I know everyone is here for me.But...I need to do something.I just can't keep moping around the school..."

"About something you might do...well, you can join a club or something, the dueling club is a lot helpful and I think I also need practice on my spell casting. But is all your choice." Emiliano said, hoping it was a good idea.

"And Cale will never leave you, he's as you said, your brother...and he loves you." He told Reese, patting the back of her hand.

Well this was just...great. Professor Kazimeriz had been to busy for the yearbook and now Miranda would have to make a plan to either revisit him or, and this was her favorite option so far, make a little surprise appearance if the professor was walking around the school. Totally.

She had been so deep in her thoughts that Miranda hadn't noticed where she was going. Stopping on the landing she looked around. Huh, which floor am I on? Looking over the railing she could count that she'd atleast walked up 3 floors. Suddenly she began gasping for air, as if she had beel feeling tired of walking up all those stairs. Need...Water!

Wasn't there a bathroom around here? Maybe she could slurp some water there.
Miranda started to walk along the corridor, hoping to find the bathroom...Wherever it was situated.

Dueling club?That was a good idea!She needed to work on her spell casting,too,but...she was just too depressed to do anything.You know how you feel when you're sick and all you want to do is stay in bed all day?Well,that's how Reese feels right now. "I'll think about it,"she told Emiliano. "But,chances are,I probably wont join any clubs."

Cale...Here comes the tears,again.His name was like a magnet for tears,especially this term.She thought back on all the memories she had with him.Those happy memories that will stick with her forever and ever."I love him so much,"she said. "Like I said, I can;t imagine Hogwarts without him." She wiped her eyes,again,with the handkerchief.

Aaaaaah! As she made her way out of the library, Evangeline could not believe on how forgetful she was getting. She had been on the library, doing some research for Ancient Runes when she overheard someone talking about the strange Kapoor posters around the school.

Then she remembered ... the Charms extra credit!

Personally, she wasn't that keen on sticking the poster on the wall, since she figured it should be part of some personal vendetta Ashby had against Kapoor, but Slytherin needed the points, so there she was, staring at the wall with a weird poster on her hands.

Oh dear.

Using her left hand to pin up the poster against the wall, Evangeline grabbed her wand and pointed at one corner of the weird poster. This was the hardest part. The sixth year took a VERY deep breath before muttering the incantation. "Aaaaaddddhhhaaaaaeeerrrrooo.." She finished, her voice barely
a whisper for being out of breath, her wand finished her circuit on the exact same corner.

Stepping away, she looked proudly at her work, hoping Professor Kapoor wouldnt show up now and think she had done the poster. Hmm. Maybe it was better if she ... yes, sneakily looking around to check for possible witnesses, the sixth year stalked away from the crime scene.

Emiliano, well...he had no words for Reese. He was now speechless and felt awful at that moment. Seeing his friend get so sad about Cale leaving was making his emotions go way too sensible. "Alright, just tell me if you need help with anything..." He told her with half smile.

Oh, my dear!! Reese was crying again...wait, he knew what to do. At least for the moment. So, he carefully took her head and rested it on his shoulder. "I don't like to see you like this.." He whispered. "And I'm really sorry he's leaving..." He ended with a deep sigh.

Reese nodded her head. "Okay,I will let you need," she said. She looked up at Emiliano and gave him a weak smile. "You know...I'm glad we met on the train that day.You're like the best friend I've been needing."

Reese felt Emiliano put her head on his shoulder.Gaaah,she was going to get his robes all wet because of her tears. "I mean,I still have you,so everything isn't going to be too bad next term,right?" she told him.

Emiliano smiled back at Reese. Boy, was she pretty!!! "I am so glad...we met as well. I feel very lucky to know you, how about that?" He told her and made a chuckle.

Then, a gulp came. Gahh...why that question, next term...He sighed. "No, it will be great, and I'll stay here with you, I promise." He told her, making a note to accomplish that during the summer. How would he convince his parents to let him stay with Diana, he didn't know. He just had to stay in Hogwarts, with his friends.

Lima walked through the corridor and spotted her friend Reese with that nice boy. Emanial? Emie? Emanuallo? No, that wasn't it. None of them were. Hmmm. What is his name again? She didn't want to seem like a right idiot for having forgotten. But she had needed to talk to Reese anyway.

So she approached them. "Hey, guys. What's up?" she asked smiling.

Reese smiled.Geez,Emiliano was so flattering. "Lucky?"she reapeated then blushed. "Aww,that's so nice of you to say.I think I was lucky to meet you to."

Reese nodded. "We'll be friends for forever and always,won't we?"she asked him.She cuddled up closer next to him and smiled.She was lucky to have met Emiliano.He was the nicest person she has ever met.

Reese heard someone's footsteps come up to her and Emiliano and she looked up.Ohh,it was Lima.Thanks goodness.At least it wasn't Cale.She hasn't seen him forever and she didn't want him to worry about her weight loss or anything.

"Hey,"she said back with a smile. "Oh,nothing much. How have you been?"

Emiliano looked up. What was the name of the girl? Liam..Limo...Lima!!! That was her name. "Hey, Lima..." He greeted with a smile. "How are you?" He asked her.

"Well, I feel way more luckier..." He told Reese with a wide, very wide smile. He said and squished her into a hug.

"Always and forever, even if...I move?" Emiliano asked her and reached his hair. He shuddered by just saying the word moving.

She raised her brow at the way Reese seemed glad to see her. It looked like more than just her wanting to talk to Lima, but happiness that it wasn't someone else.

"I've been good," she said trying to stay casual. She was really excited to talk to Reese though. "I've got to talk to you about the band."

"I'm good," she replied to the guy who she couldn't remember the name of. UGH! What was it? She struggled to remember it but all she knew was that it started with Em. Maybe she should just call him Em and leave it at that. "How are you, Em?"

Reese's smiled faded quite quickly when Emiliano said that four-lettered word.Ohmygosh. "W-what are you t-talking about?"she asked him. She hasn't heard anything about Emiliano and him moving.She fumbled with the handkerchief she gave him.Plllllllease dont tell me you moving...

"Oh,that's good,"Reese said. "Oh,okay." She looked at Emiliano then back to Lima. "What about the band?" She stopped playing with the hankerchief and she put it on the ground beside her. Then, she looked back at Lima.

"Glad to know, Lima..." Emiliano told her with a smile. "I've been good thank you, fairly stressed about homework and such...but other than that, alright." He answered, though knowing it was half truth.

Then a BAND was mentioned! "You are forming a band?" He asked, excited. "And you're going in, Reese?" He questioned her, with a great wide smile.

Emiliano couldn't hold seeing Reese so sad. "I argued with my parents, just a few days after you visited. They want to move back to Mexico and take me with them" He said and another gulp came through his esophagus. "But...I've been plotting with Diana, to let me stay with her and she's alright with it...since I'm all year at school. So, staying is half a choice." He commented and waited for Reese.

He was...devastated.

Towards the Great Hall Ana remembered the Charms homework. She grabbed her bag and search for the poster shuffling the bag. "Finally!" she said in a relief tone.

So where do a put this? she thought looking around There's a good place.

She took off her wand and holding the poster against the wall she said the spell pointing the wand along the poster" Aaaaadddhhhhaaaeeerrrooo" she took a deep breath. Ana checked to see if it was well stuck.

"Done!" she looked at the poster Well it's a very... unique poster

Happy with her work she proceeded to the Great Hall to eat something.

She smiled as she watched Reese and said, "Well, I was talking to Amanda - do you know her? And well, she told me that I can go on a world tour with her this summer." She paused, with a glint in her eyes and said, "So, I guess what I'm saying is ... I hope your free from July 3rd to mid-August." She waited eagerly for Reese's reply.

She nodded. She knew what he was talking about there. Studying was draining her. She hardly even got to see her boyfriend anymore. That thought made her sad; she missed her Hugie. Then he perked up. "Yes. I am and yes she is," she said laughing. "Lima and the Lemurs." Shje winked at him, figuring that he would get where the name came from since he was there when Cam was calling her a lemur. "You're welcome to see us on tour. I can get you free tickets."

Amanda...Amanda...That name did ring a bell,but Reese couldn't put the name with a face. "Uhh-I know that name,but I can't actually remember her,"she told Lima with a grin.Her jaw dropped loose when Lima mentioned a WORLD TOUR?!EEEEEEEEEEP. "Ohmygosh...Lima..."she squeaked. "Are you serious?"She wanted to jump up and hug Lima,but she was too comfortable right now all cuddled up to Emiliano to movie.

"Of course,I'm in the band,"Reese told Emiliano."Didn't I tell you?" She wasn't sure if she told Emiliano or not,but by the way he reacted to it,she was guessing she never mentioned it to him. "I'm sorry I didn't tell you.I thought a did."

Reese listned to Emliano speak.When he was done,she spoke, "But,Em...you can't leave.I do hope your parent let you stay with Diana.I can't have you AND Cale both leaving me." She wiped away a tear that start forming in her eyes.Emiliano COULD NOT leave! Reese wouldn't allow it.

Emiliano bowed his hand in gesture to a thank you. "Oh, thank you..." He said with a wide smile, "I will be there. Amanda also invited me and I'm so coming..." He told her quite excited. Yet, he didn't know what awaited him, staying over England or going with his parents.

"Er..." Emiliano's memory those days was quite terrible. He just didn't know if Reese had really told him about the band. He shrugged his shoulders and tried to calm down. "Oh, but don't worry, I'll be there..." He told her with a smile.

"I won't leave...Diana is making the magic at this moment, my time will come when I arrive home for the summer. And I won't let them take me away from all of you, from Hogwarts, NEVER." He clearly said with a firm nod.

Juniper was just going to have to trust that Clifford knew where they were going, because all of her focus was on the pogrebin and ensuring that she did not drop it. True that it was tied up, but Juniper was certain that, if she dropped the creature, it would manage to get free and wreak more havoc. And Juniper did not want that.

As she levitated the pogrebin after Clifford, Juniper had to speedwalk to keep up with the boy. He walked faaast. The fourth year was sure that if she had to walk this quickly all the way to the pogrebin drop-off place, she would end up dropping it.

"Clifford, can you slow down?" she asked once they were free of the library. "My legs are shorter than yours."

Oopsy daisy.

It was easy to forget that he was taller than hers, his legs considerably looonger. Poor ickle Juniper. "Sorry," he mumbled sheepisly, dropping into step beside her and taking small person strides. There, that was better. He wanted rid of that pogrebin but they couldn't hurry and risk dropping it!

Shudder.

"Only three flights," he nodded, headed towards the stairs which would lead them toward the second floor corridor. "we're lucky the library isn't up on the seventh floor." Imagine taking an imprisoned pogrebin THAT far. EEK!

Once outside of the library, the Grey Lady came to a sudden halt, once more changing her mind. The Friar. She needed to seek him out first before returning to the mirror.

At once, she set off for the Hufflepuff common room. There was no doubt a celebration ongoing for the Hufflepuff win and where there was food, the Fat Friar would likely be present.
