"Alright." Sneeze said. When Rian hugged him he remembered the days they would spend at the lake... He then started walking to the door and saw Rian doing the same. "Well, have a nice day." He opened the door and walked through.

"Oh!" Rian exclaimed, stopping dead in her tracks. While she was here, there was no use waiting. I need something creative to unlock, she thought, knowing the room would provide that for her. She looked around, trying to find whatever it would give her.

Finding nothing, she sighed and looked up. There, at the roof, was a...bird? It was a fake bird though...it looked sort of like stone. And there, on it's beak, was a lock. "Hmm," Rian murmured, staring curiously at the object. "I wonder what it'll unlock." She took a few steps forward, and reached her hand up, her wand poised to cast a spell. But she was still too short, and she couldn't be sure she'd hit the lock.

Frowning, she climbed up onto a chair that suddenly popped up out of no where. Feeling slightly queasy, she raised her arm a bit hesitantly. "A-Aloham-mora!" she stammered. A feeble jet of light shot out of the wand-tip ,missing the locked bird by more than a few inches. I need something taller, she thought, not allowing herself to think about how tall taller might be.

In front of the chair came a table as high as the chair back. Taking a deep breath, Rian stepped onto it. Not looking down at the ground, she once again cast Alohamora. This time, the lock came off the beak and landed on Rian's hand. She set it down on the table as the bird-thing started singing.

It was the song Rian had composed just a little earlier, here in this room. She smiled and sat down on the table, listening to how it sounded. When it was finished, Rian gratefully slid off the table and hurriedly followed Sneeze out of the Room of Requirement.

Nearly shooting off through the ceiling as Terry bounced like crazy on the balls of his feet, surveying the the whole room in deep satisfaction. DOOD, him and Evolette rocked. The entire room screamed pink, sparkles and glitter. Fidgeting with the silver tablecloth one last time, he nudged the ginormous three-tiered cake bang in the centre. WHOA. It in it's pretty white sponge and bright pink icing even towered over HIM.

Hokaihokai. Back to business. Check on the humoongous pile of prezzies over by the corner, complete in their shiny hot pink wrappings, all sporting HUGE silver bows. So pretty. He finally attempted to still himself as Hugo and Evolette neared the room.

He was so excited he was ZEES close to forgetting how completely swathed he was in floaty pink STUFF. Pulling his pink socks higher, he finally nodded once in signal back to Evee, holding up one hand, slowly pulling down his fingers in a countdown.

Three. Two. ONE.

He flew into the air, a pink blur, tackling his two best friends about the waists in total abandon. 'SURPIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIISE HUGOOOOO!'

"Where are we goiiiiing?" Hugo whined, for about the millionth time. His best friend had tackled him, forced him into his favourite pink shirt and then pushed him out of the common room and along the corridor. With her hands over his eyes the whole way. He'd fallen twice, and banged his head on a statue; Evolette wasn't the greatest guide! "Lettie! You stood on my heel!" He tried desperately to squint through her fingers, only to be urged to NOT PEEK...again. But WHYYYY? He was so confused! What was going on? Shuffling forward, he froze. "Lettiiiie?" He murmured. "Who's in there?" He could hear shuffling...it was coming closer! And then...

"EEEEEK! HEELP! HEEEEEELP!" Hugo flailed, as the THING leapt on him, squishing him like a little pixie. "Oi? Terry, is that you? Whatta ya doing, you crazy fool?"

Sam & Amy
 

Hugo wrinkled his nose as something sloppy and wet pressed against his cheek. "Ewwww, Lettie!" He teased, laughing. He stumbled as she scolded Terry, as she was focused on keeping herself standing, rather than guiding him. EEEEK! "Ahhh, Lettie!" He cried, clinging desperately to his friend's arm in an attempt to stay standing. Falling blind was [Inot[/I] a good idea. Especially if you were the klutz that he was, in which case he's probably break his nose...again. "I think you're being silly, Terry!" He whined, shifting to try and see.

...and then Evolette moved her hands to hug him. Hugo was forced inside a room, given a tiara and had a joke from Terry at his expense.

But he couldn't even speak. He stood there, pink shirted and sparkly tiara-ed, his emerald eyes glazing over as he took in the scene before him. "It's so...it's so..." He was finding difficulty finding beautiful enough words to fit. "It's so me," he murmured finally, mouth hanging open as he took a step forward. And it was PERFECT. And they did MATCH; their outfits, his tiara, the cake on the table and the pile of presents.

Turning to face his two friends, a grin spread across Hugo's handsome face. It was a grin unlike any that had ever been on his face in a LONG time. "Oh you twoooo!" He squeeked, throwing his arms around both of them happily. "I love you guys. SO much. Of course it's perfect! And oi Terry! I'm not the baby, just cause I got dropped a year," he snorted, chuckling. "That wasn't MY fault!" He stepped back, looking from the room, to the two friends, to the room...and then back to Evolette and Terry.

"You guys did this?" He asked. "Together?" He looked from one face to the next.

Robert rolled his eyes as he heard Mariska speak and continued trying to force the doors open, "What do you think I'm doing? Taking my time?" he gritted out. Stepping back with a frustrated groan as the doors did not budge, he looked around for anything to pry open the doors. Suddenly, a crowbar appeared near where the chair was. Silently thanking the room he ran over to grab it and then ran back to the wardrobe in time to heard Mariska shriek, "I'm not going to! Geez give it a rest!" He shook his head and placed the crowbar in between the two doors, using all his strength he tried prying them apart to no avail, "Bloody hell!" Throwing down the crowbar he continued to pry it open with his hands, "Well think harder!" Hearing her yell at him he let go and frowned, "I'm trying to get you out of here and you aren't helping any!"

Mari took a deep breath as she heard the varied sounds of Robert's efforts to get her out of the sealed wardrobe. Of course, she knew there was a spell to finish this, but in her intense discomfort at being stuck in a small, dark and enclosed space she was being quite forgetful. She took a few more deep breaths and then she heard Roberts voice. " It's Finite Incantatem!" She exclaimed suddenly. " Just point your wand at the door, it should open. Just hurry," She sad, hoping it would work and she wouldn't be stuck like this until someone else could open the door.

Robert continued working at the doors, his frustration growing as they did not budge. He could hear Mariska breathing and at her sudden words he let go of the doors and stepped back. Saying a silent prayer he pointed his wand at the door, "Finite Incantatem." He watched as the doors flew open and he ran over toward the wardrobe. "Mariska are you okay?!"

Mariska held her breath and counted back from ten as she heard Robert say the spell and moments afterward, the doors swung open easily, as if they had never been shut at all. She barely heard Roberts words as she jumped out of the cramped wardrobe and right into him. Instinctively she clung to him for a few moments before she realized what she was doing. " Oh. I'm sorry," She blushed and pulled back from him, unsure of what to do now that they were in this awkward situation.

The air that he hadn't realized he'd been holding, rushed out of his lungs as he felt Mariska jump onto him and cling tightly. He wrapped his arms around her tightly for a moment and loosened his hold when he felt her pull back from him. Swallowing he shook his head and ran his hand through his hair as he started rambling, "No, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have been playing around. I shouldn't have used that bloody spell when I didn't know.... I'm really, really sorry. I'm such a bloody idiot."

Mari shook her head as Robert apologized profusely, closing her eyes a moment before speaking again. " It's fine," she said, her mind somehow still focusing on how it had felt when he had had his arms around her. That was...odd, she thought to herself. " It's not your fault I don't like enclosed spaces." She said. She opened her eyes again and then laughed slightly. " At least you learned Colloportus and Finite Incatatem." She said, smiling at him a little.

Robert watched as Mariska closed her eyes and when she spoke again he sighed, worried that she had been mad at him. "I know but if I hadn't been goofing off..." When her eyes opened he looked down at her and laughed humourlessly, "A tough way to learn that." He smiled back at her slightly and wrapped his arm around her and guided her over toward the chair just in case she was still shaken, "Here let's go sit down."

Mari shrugged a little. " Well, I'm alright now," She said and then she laughed again at Robert's next words. " And at least you learned. and I remembered everything I made myself learn. That's something of a miracle considering how weird I get when I'm in enclosed spaces." She said honestly. At his urging, Mari let Robert lead her to the chair and she sat down, looking at the other chair that had appeared, probably to his need. " It seems our studying always leads to interesting things." She said after a moment, trying to ease the slight awkwardness between them.

Hearing Mariska's laugh, Robert started laughing, "I suppose that's one way of looking on the bright side of things." He made a mental note of her claustrophobic tendencies as he led her toward a chair and sat down himself in the chair that appeared with a tired sigh. Hearing her comment he shrugged, "What's life without a little drama I suppose. Though if you think about it this could be considered payback for making me get lost in the maze," he eyed her seriously with a slight clench of his jaw before he sat back and closed his eyes, "Though I didn't do it on purpose."

Mari laughed a bit. " Yes, it is. I always try to at least glean one positive from a negative experience. " She said. She sighed a bit as they sat, but at Robert's words, she sat up a bit more. " Well, that was payback for you...being...well, I don't remember anymore but you quite rightly deserved that." She said, and she looked at him as he sat back and closed his yes. " Oh. I was awfully close to those doors. Maybe I don't think it was an accident after all. Especially since you're calling it payback!" She said, crossing her arms over herself and glaring at him slightly. " And nothing happened to you in the maze, I always knew how to get you out. Unlike here where you had no idea how to reverse what you did to me." She said, her green eyes wide with slight indignation and irritation.

She clapped as Mads got it all right.
"OK...you also got to show me how to backflip." she said. It was awesome!
"'Sooooo noww we learn the rest of the song?"
She played the last of it, and sang.
"It dont matter that your car is fly
And your rims are spinning on the side
And it dont matter where we go tonight
Cause if im with you it'll be alright
Thats cool but im looking for more
Its your love that my heart beats for
Cause thats me dont have to spend a dime
Baby i just want your time'

and then chorus..blah blah blah. Simple enough"

Opening the door, Liz looks around.

Even after hearing about it for years, she never expected to see what she saw.

Tables lined up, and chairs, with tons of quills and parchment. Comfy chairs to sit and relax in while reading. Rows of books..."wow!" she whispers.

As Livvy walks in this big.. large.. humongo room, there are tables.. chairs.. and everything. And books. BOOKS! A lot of them! "Eesh. Nerd mania," she muttered, grinning. Hey... she was proud to be a nerd. Livvy walked towards the books, her hands gently touching the words and the covers.

"Absolutely." Liz replies. "And if your ever in need of something, just think it. Like I'd really like to have an olive colored quill."

Looking around, you spot a quill sitting in the middle of the table.

Pointing, "See there is an olive colored quill."

"How about you try it." Liz says with a grin.

Isn't food the first of the five Principal Exceptions to Gamp's Law of trans? ;o)
 

Liz walks over and sits in a comfy chair. "I like it here, it's definitely a nice quiet place to study."

...and other things...

I was trying to be goofy and got carried away, I guess. I editted.
 

Maddox chuckled and said, "Sounds good to me I just hope you can do it without getting hurt." He smirked. It took him 3 hours to learn how to do a back flip. "Right lets go then!" He smiled.

He listened to her very closely. He wasnt going to mess up this time. Finally it was his turn. He waited for the music, then sang:


It dont matter that your car is fly
And your rims are spinning on the side
And it dont matter where we go tonight
Cause if im with you it'll be alright
Thats cool but im looking for more
Its your love that my heart beats for
Cause thats me dont have to spend a dime
Baby i just want your time.



"How was it?" He asked with a grin.

"I think it has anything you want when you need it." Liz says after a few minutes of thought. I mean, if you left your extra quills in your dorm, you would need to go back and get them, if you went to the library..."

"You also wouldn't need to worry about the library closing for the night," Liz says with a small laugh.

I'm for bed! Night!
 

Laughing outloud, Liz says "Well, you did say that."

Turning to Copernicus, she asks him a question, seeing that Livvy is busy looking at the different books. "Can I ask you something?"

"Tackling expresses love!" Hugo laughed, giving Evolette a kiss on the cheek. "Terry mate, I'd kiss you but..." he eyed the Gryffindor carefully. "Oh whatever!" He gave Terry a quick smooch on the forehead. Heh heh. "I am the baby? Oh that sucks," he grinned, and then shrugged. It didn't matter to him; he had the bestest friends in the world, and he wouldn't have cared if they were old and wrinkly. "Just means you'll get wrinkles before me, Lettie," he teased.

"Wow! You did an awesome job...together." He smiled, happier than he'd been in a long time.

"That's awesome." Hugo inspected them for a minute, before replying, "oh yeah, no bite marks!" Haha. "C'mon!" He grabbed Terry's hand in his right hand and Evolette's in his left. "C'MOOON!" He dragged them forwards into the room, admiring the cake that was on the table. "Since when can YOU GUYS nake cakes?" He asked, chuckling happily. He didn't care whether it tasted like doxy eggs (he doubted it would), because it was the thought that counted.

And they really had thought.

Wow, he loved them uber muuuch.

"Hmm?" Copernicus glanced up at her from his position deep inside the chair. "Of course."

Livvy looked towards where Copernicus and Liz stood once she heard those five words. Liz was gonna do it. Inside, Livvy was proud of her. She hoped things would bode well for her. For the time being, Livvy will just stay out of the way. Livvy picked out a promising book and sat down, a distance away but still within earshot.

Looking nervous, she looks at him, and says "A few of us were wondering...If someone really liked you, would you want to know?"

Livvy peeked up over her book casually. She rolled her eyes at what Liz said to him. She caught Liz's eyes and gave her the No-More-Chit-Chat-Just-Spit-It-Out look. Livvy glanced at Copernicus who was taking an awfully long time to respond. What would he say? Livvy was practically sending Liz to her own doom here. Copernicus liked Cela.. What was Livvy doing, letting Liz do this?

"You mean if someone wanted to be my friend?" Copernicus raised an eyebrow. Of course! He always needed more friends. "Or you mean... if a girl liked me... like... a... boyfriendy thingy?"

Turning pinker by the minute. "umm, like a boyfriendy thingy, I guess..."

"But...I" looking down, Liz nods. "I don't think your a social moron. I think..."

Now if I say what I really feel, he'll think that about me! she thinks to herself.

With another nod, "I...I'm glad that you like it here. I...think it's fun...spending time with you." she finishes really lamely. "Maybe we could do this more often."

"So, what would you do, if you knew someone really liked you...you know in that way?"

"Sorry" Liz says looking up at him, "I didn't mean to embarrass you."

Sitting up straighter "I just wanted to say that...I don't know how to...I mean I..." stammering she stops. she slumps down, and looks down at her hands in her lap.

"I mean, maybe we could go out for walks more often, maybe not every night, but..." Now, that was pathetic! she angrily thinks to herself, but gives Copernicus a small smile.

"I agree, walking around is nice, but I like the peacefulness here too." looking around, she wonders if she has the nerve to just say it.

"I'm a little embarrassed..." she whispers. "I'm sorry if I made you embarrassed too."

Looking down with a frustrated look in her eyes. "I want to say something, but I'm afraid to ask, and think it will sound stupid, too..."

Trying to send a message to Livvy, Liz glances over to her Help!!!

Livvy bit her lip as she listened to the conversation. Amazing how quick she could be forgotten. Boy she felt alone. At the last thing that Liz said about taking strolls again, Livvy slapped her hand to her forehead. A little too loudly. She quickly dropped the book quietly to her stomach and pretended she was asleep. Even allowed her some dramatic effect by breathing a bit loud.

She liked hearing more about his parents, it felt nice that he was opening up a little. "Are you interested in being involved with one now?" shocked at her own words, she wishes she could take them back. She'd already embarrassed him enough.

"I mean, if one of them told you they wanted to go out with you...ImeanIlik..." stopping and ducking her head in embarrassment. Oh, my gosh...now I've done it...

Nodding, Liz looks horrible. "I'm sorry..."

Just wanting to leave, because she had embarrassed him, herself and probably Livvy, she looks up at him and says "It's getting late, I think...maybe we should go."

"I hope you don't...hate me for this." she says with a catch in her voice.

"I couldn't hate you..." she whispered, when he took her hand. "And I do, want to stay your friend" with a small smile "If you want to still."

Thinking sadly Maybe Winters was right...poor Copernicus, Plymouth and Cela...what a mess.

"No, I don't mind. It gets kind of lonely going by myself." Liz says quietly looking down at their hands. "And if papa knew I was doing that alone, I think I'd be in trouble...he hasn't found out in 3 years." she says with a short laugh.

"I think so too," Liz replies "No one can get in those gates, that I know of...anyway. Particularly muggles."

"Mine just got wierd, I guess," she says with a laugh. "He is now determined that any animal or creature on our land, must be helped, in every way possible. Including the gnomes!"

"I have no idea," completely stumped about it "I mean, if it was to keep them off, I'd understand, for our protection, and to keep them out of our garden. But to feed them...no idea."

"I guess it's one way for me to learn about those creatures. But we do have fun with the degnoming each summer..."

Sorry...off to bed
 

"Your always welcome to join us. We have a huge get together with friends and family. It's a week after the end of term." Liz says looking at him again, "Maybe you and Plymouth could come."

Yup, me too. Night!
 

"Yeah?" He nodded thoughtfully. "That sounds good to me, actually. Plymouth needs socializing, and obviously I do too. Teach us how to interact with perfectly nice girls like you."

Hugo raised his eyebrows at her. "A bit of hyperventilating?" He repeated, laughing out loud. "Well, still. I'm really glad you did something...together." He smiled at her, and gave her hand an affectionate squeeze. She looked so worried! Honestly, poor thing. "Lighten up Lettie, it's my birthday afterall," he teased, planting a reassuring kiss on her cheek to cheer her up.

"Ohhhhh. Makes sense!" Hugo contemplated, wondering how on earth they managed to persuade the elves to bake a whole cake. Sure, they loved making stuff for students, but normally small orders like cookies or cupcakes. But THIS...he ogled at the cake, mouth watering. "Very well done on the icing," he complimented.

He laughed at the 'girl in cake' joke, and winked at Terry happily. "Sure...LET'S EAAAT!" He squeeked, clapping his hands together. Oh oh oh! Taking a deep breath, he huffed with all his might, and each candle was extinguished. WOOHOO!

"I'll make sure that papa, sends both of you an invitation." she says with a smile.

Still hurt, a little, she guesses that won't go away for awhile. Maybe I should find Rian, she'll understand, she's going through something like this now with Sneeze...

Livvy had actually fallen asleep, right when she was pretending too. Oh well. They didn't seem to notice one bit. It was all cool. She opened one eye and stood up, yawning. Livvy walked towards them with a weary look and said, "Hate to burst your guys' bubble. But don't you think it's rather late and time to go sleepy doo?"

Amelia walked into the 7th floor corridor, the place she had been constantly hearing the music coming from. A few days ago she had overheard some older students talking about the so called "room of requirement." Is this where it was? Now, how do i get inside again? Oh, yeah. Amelia paced up and down the hallway. She had to know if it was here. She tried focusing on a room that contained piano, but it was difficult with all the different levels of that composition floating through her head. Come on! she thought. I need a piano to compose! When she looked up, there was a door there. She went over and opened it.

Inside, it had a GRAND piano on a slightly raised dais in the middle, with variety of instruments arrayed around it. "Perfect" she muttered. She felt the rush of energy flowing down her arms, and into her fingers. She looked down to find the subconsciously playing the piano part for that song that was rushing through her head. All of her yearned to go to that beautiful instrument in the room, but she shook herself. "No. You have homework, and a MIA best friend to find. Come on. Go!" She gave herself another small shake, and shut the door on the one room she had wanted to find in this school. "I'll be back." She muttered, to whom, she didn't know.

Nodding, Liz agrees. Standing up she heads to the door with them.

Livvy grinned. "Why thank you Copernicus. Such a gentleman," she said, winking at him. She then headed out the door.

Robert chuckled slightly as Mari spoke, "That's a good thing to do. Otherwise you'd just be upset all the time." Hearing her sigh he smiled slightly and did likewise as he sank into the chair. At her words however his eyes flew open and he sat up, "What do you mean? I didn't do a bloody thing to you to deserve that." As she continued he stood up and threw his hands in the air in exasperation, "You have to be kidding me! I was bloody joking! If I were going to do something to you as payback I wouldn't do something I can't undo!!!!" He stood in front of her, meeting his glare with one of his own, "See and there's the bloody difference! You DID do it on purpose. Whether you knew how to get me out or not it doesn't matter!" He groaned in frustration and walked away a few steps before turning back, "Why are you so bloody aggravating all the time?! I just...you make me...gahhh!"

Mariska narrowed her eyes at Robert as he stood up and began shouting, like he always did. She folded her arms across her chest again and rolled her eyes as he stalked away. " I did do it on purpose. But like I said, I knew what I was doing. Even if you were joking, I'm sure..." She stopped as he questioned her and she stood too, coming up to him. " I'm not aggravating. And it does matter that I knew what was doing. I could have gotten you out of that maze in five minutes. I just thought if I kept you somewhere for a bit maybe you'd remember me and not ignore me next time." She said, knowing she wasn't making any sense at all. " And you don't have to yell I can hear you just fine!" She said, matching his loudness because he was really starting to irk her. " I think we're done here." She said, glaring up athim. " Unless you'd like to yell at me some more of course, then by all means DO go ahead!" She said, her chin stuck out a bit in a show of odd defiance and her hands on her hips.

Robert looked down at Mariska as she stood up and spoke to him, "No..no you're very aggravating. I don't know anyone who frustrates me as much as you do. Every second it's something else. Always something else." As he heard her last words he looked at her puzzled, "What are you talking about?! You want to talk about ignoring people...I'm Mr. Invisible now thanks to that block head Cayden." His eyes narrowed as she yelled at him. No, he didn't want to yell at her but god help him if he didn't want to wrap his arms around her. He shook off the thought, "I don't..." Seeing her hands on her hips and the look of defiance he stuck his hands in his pockets, "Fine, leave, see if I care. I've got better things to do then sit here and pick yet another fight with you." But he didn't make a move for the door. He just stood looking at her to see what she would do with the same look of annoyance and frustration on his face. Not letting even the briefest flash of the inner turmoil within him to show.

Mariska didn't quite know what to say when Robert mentioned Cayden. She knew she liked him, but she knew she liked Robert too...however she couldn't tell him that. " So what, you've got Lyra, don't think I haven't noticed how you two look at one another." She said, her defiance fading a little. " And since when do you want me to notice you?" She asked, but then he spoke in a way that she hadnt' expected. He had just...given up. She made an angry, frustrated noise, something akin to a little growl and she pushed past him. " Fine, I hope you at least learned something from this." She said, wondering why this bothered her so much, this fighting thing her and Robert so often engaged in. She walked, half hoping he would stop her but wondering why he would if she was acting like she was. Again though, she was just too proud to admit it at all so she kept walking, almost reaching the door before she really began thinking about stopping.

Robert didn't even know what to say to Mariska. She was right. He had Lyra and he cared for her but what she didn't know and what he was sure Lyra did though she wouldn't admit it, was he cared for her more. "That's complicated and since when do you care?" At her question he swallowed, "I don't." Not anymore. He watched as she made a noise that almost sounded like a growl and walked past him. He wanted to stop her but his own stubbornness was telling him not to so instead he just watched as she walked toward the door. Once she reached it he sighed and sat down in the chair with his back toward her and his head in his hands. Things were just too complicated. Running a hand through his hair in frustration he stared at the wardrobe in front of him, waiting to hear the door close behind him.

Amanda headed into the room of requirement with her guitar case and she sat down on a stool that appeared for her. She set her guitar case down and took out her electric guitar, plugging it into an amp and starting to play one of her own songs.

Ok. His bass needed electricity, something that didn't exist in Hogwarts. But...how about in a room where Emiliano would request it? The Room of Requirement!

He smiled and then remembered, he wanted to meet the band there. The band...it just sounded great. As he took a walk into the room, he noticed Amanda was there too. He smiled at her, then he spoke. "Hey, Amanda..." He said with a smile on his face.

Amanda looked up from her guitar and noticed Emiliano there with his bass. "Hey Emiliano, want to just play some music together for a bit until Rogue and Chris show up?" She asked as she stood up from the stool she was sitting on, and turned the knob on the amp up a bit.

Mari half expected Robert to come after her, but she was surprised and...disappointed when he didn't. She waited a few more moments and then she realized he really wasn't going to come after her. She made another little frustrated sound and pushed open the door just a bit. She stopped a moment, considered being the one to make some..apology for the fight but then she shook her head a little and pushed te door open again, this time completely. She stepped out, wondering why she felt she should be going back into the room instead of leaving it.

Perfect place for two love birds to spend a little bit of time together in a place only they knew.Jack had his hands in his pockets as he waited for her to arrive in the spot he'd said in the owl he'd sent her 12 minutes prior.He whistled to himself whilst he waited.

He had a perfect place in mind for them two

Ella walked in..jeez it was dark. She had to take a second view to find out her lover boy. There he stood, with hands shoved into his pockets..God..he's really smart and always increasing my heartbeat..she chuckled slightly, walking gently, hugged him tightly behind him. "Hello...Prince charm.." she whispered in his ear.

After walking back and forth three times Chris had walked into the room he needed. Where he also saw Amanda and Emiliano. "Hey." He said to them. As he put his guitar case down and took out his Gibson Sg. He put the strap on over his shoulders.

"Hey Chris." Amanda said, then started to play Misery Business by the old muggle band Paramore. She loved their music, it was just the genre that she played and the lyrics were incredible.

Rogue walked into the Room of Requirments with her guitar case. "Hello," she said to the others. Her hair went silver as she heard what what Amanda was playing.

Amanda stopped when she heard a voice. "Hey Rogue, glad you could make the first band practice. Alright now that we're all here, its time to get down to business. This is where we will have all band practices, I will send my owl with a note for the next band practice. Now, we've got to come up with a name for the band before we do anything else. Any suggestions?" She said and fiddled with her custom made Slytherin guitar strap.

Rogue grinned and said, "None that are very appropriate, again." She looked around the room briefly and smiled as her hair went red, like Amanda's. She took out her guitar and let it lay on her lap.

Evolette smiled, "You know, so am I." she said, tossing a glance at Terry. She was really glad that it wasn't totally awkward with him now. She had been wrong about the whole thing. It was going to work just being his friend. It wasn't going to take away the feelings, but for now, it was going to work out.

She wrapped her arm around Hugo's waist when he kissed her cheek, giving him a one armed hug. Yes. This could all work. They could all be friends again.

Tilting her head to look at Hugo, she arched an eyebrow. "Do you want to cut it?" she asked, "It is your birthday afterall." she added, using his own words on him.

"Sure..." He said.
Emiliano smiled at Amanda and practically ran to connect the bass to an electric plug. Instantly, he took the instrument and started to play something random along with his hum. The song, as he remembered from her grandmother's old CD's, was Decode by Paramore.

"Hey Chris..." Emiliano said, looking up at the boy just coming into the room. "What's up?" He asked with a smile.

A girl called Rogue had stepped in as well and Amanda suddenly called for name bands. Not great, not the imagination present at the moment but...he could try something. Or not.

Amanda grabbed the microphone stand, and noticed the black microphone and shook her head. That would not do. She took that microphone off and unplugged it, then attached an silver and green microphone to the stand, plugging it in and testing it. "Alright, we can figure it out later, now we have to start practice. Anyone know the song Decode by Paramore?" She asked and took her guitar off for the moment and put it back in the case.

"Nothing much. How about you." Chris asked Emiliano now plugging it into the amp. He turned the amp on.

Chris looked at Amanda as she asked if anyone knew the song Decode by Paramore. "Umm yeah I know it." He said.

"Good, cause that's the song we're starting out with for our first practice, its not going to be perfect and there will be times that stress levels will run high but we've got to remember that we're doing this because we want to." Amanda said, taking out her compact and fixing her eyeliner and mascara.

Rogue smiled, she knew the song. Her hair went blond with blue highlights as she checked her guitar. She watched as Amanda fiwed her make-up. "Do you really have to fix your make-up to sing a song?" she asked.

"I don't have to, but I do have to look good all the time since I am the lead singer and I do have my own career" Amanda said rolling her eyes and putting her compact away. "Alright on 3 we start, 1, 2, 3.." She said and put her hands on the microphone stand, getting ready to sing.

Rogue grinned and got ready to play her guitar. She looked to the others, waiting for them to get ready as well.

He'd been dragged clear from the Astronomy Tower. Neither had said a word since the terrible second encounter with Professor Forrester. Ludo didn't know why he was following Liz, he should have gotten away and hidden out of pure embarassment. His stomach ached terribly and he doubted it was because of the badly-lifted Hurling Hex.

They stopped outside the Room of Requirement and he watched her pace back and forth, making the door appear. Again, she dragged him inside, unsure of where the conversation would begin.

"I......I'm...." he stuttered. "A complete idiot and have no idea what to say..." he thought as a follow-up.

Robert sat staring at the wardrobe unsure of what to do. He wanted to stop her but...well he knew that would be bad for both of them. No, not necessarily them...but the people they were seeing if they found out. As he heard the door open and close he sighed and put his head in his hands with a tired groan. Things were just too complicated. He sat there thinking over and over in his head that this was the right thing when in his heart he knew it wasn't. He must have sat there for over an hour until he finally got up and walked out of the room. Running his hands through his hair he looked around before heading down the stairs. He didn't think he could go to the common room figuring she was probably there.

Elizabeth stopped examining the room that had appeared as Ludo started to talk, and turned to look at him. He looked like he was in some sort of crisis, and she had a feeling she knew why. Which was also why she had dragged him in here. Walking back over to where he stood, she reached out to grasp his arms as she emphatically said, "You're not a complete idiot."

She let go of his arms as she reached one hand up to his face. Boosting herself onto her toes, she kissed him lightly, then turned away as she started to pace again. For some reason she felt like she needed to move while she tried to explain what had happened up there. "I'm just not used to this," she finally said, trying to help him understand. "I'm used to people just seeing me as someone to be friends with. And since last term, I thought you liked Asteira. So I was a bit confused." She paused in both her speech and her pacing as she stared at the wall for a second. "And then we got interrupted by Professor Forrester, and the whole thing just went down a completely different path. I wasn't scared of you. I was scared of him." And she still ended up losing points. She wasn't exactly sure what to think about any of this. Especially how Professor Forrester seemed to always show up at the strangest times.
