Allie cringed a little everytime his voice cracked.
"Well...you sang it on tune this time." she said. "You gotta work on those high notes. Those arent so good. Why don't you try again?"

Maddox sighed and rubbed his face with his hands. Once he was ready he said, "Alright lets give it another go."

He listened to the music and started singing:




Cause that's me
I don't ask for much
Baby
Having you is enough

You ain't got to buy nothing
It's not what I want
Baby it's You
We don't have to go nowhere
Its not what I want
Baby it's you
It's not for what you got
I know you got a lot
No matter what you do
You always gettin Hot
It's You,
It's You [squeak]
Baby all I want is You Yeah


After he was done, he snapped his fingers angrily and said, "UGH! And I thought I was home free." He sighed.

Yugi Mutou flew into the Room of Requirement. He needed to find Jenn, that's what Jesse had told him. He let out a low hoot, and perched himself on a windowledge, his large, purple eyes scanning the room. He clicked his beak, and took to the air again, this time landing on a door handle, his feet slipping on the marble. He squawked as he fell to the floor, but quickly regained his balance, and looked about him. Where was she? It was then that he heard the gentle sound of someone sleeping on the otherside of the door and quickly flapped his wings and flew through it, appearing on the otherside, a letter in his beak. And there she was, asleep on a feather bed. Yugi let out an unapproving squawk and settled himself down on one of the lampshades. Feathers in beds? Whatever next. The letter in Yugi's beak was addressed to Jenn. Now all Yugi needed to do was wait for her to wake up...

And attatched to the letter was a fresh, steaming hot pumpkin pastie...Yummy!

"I never seem to amaze myself." Sneeze looked at smiled at Rian. "I wish I wouldn't do that to myself so often. A week in between would be good."

Jenn jumped up slightly at the sound of an owl, and the smell of....wait, was that pumpkin pasties she smelled? Jenn quickly jumped out of the bed, her hair a big giant puffball on her head, and ran to the owl, Yugi. Smiling happily she unattached the letter first and read it. A big grin appeared on her face and she folded the letter back up and unattached the package. Opening she leaped up in glee, grabing one of the pasites from the steaming box. Taking a bite, she sighed in happiness. "Mmmm!"she said, taking a little piece off and giving it to the owl. Then something dawned on her. She had something for him too. Something she had been meaning to give him, but hadn't gotten around to it. Smiling she ran to her bag and grabed the two packages and a piece of parchment, then ran back to the owl, quill in hand, and ink on the little table.

With that she attached the letter to Yugi's leg, then attached the two packages. Inside one was a red piggmy puff. In the other was a verity of candy's from Honeydukes. Frowning slightly she looked at the little owl. "Do you think you can handle all of that? There kinda heavy."she asked. "I could get Ocean to help you."she added, smiling sweetly.

Yugi watched noisily as Jenn wrote down her letter for Jesse, hooting every now and then, begging for a pumpkin pastie or two. He ruffled his feathers and looked alert, pacing back and forth along the window ledge, a bit like a soldier on patrol. It was the red pigmy puff that caught his eye, and he looked at it curiously, checking his feathers were fluffed up and his purple eyes hard. The little thing would have to get used to the idea of Yugi being the top of the group. Well...apart from Jess, of course.

Yugi hooted in answer to her question, and nodded vigourosly. Another owl? Female perhaps. He jumped from one foot to the other and squawked happily.

Jenn giggled as Yugi gave the little red puff ball a stern look, almost like it was trying to tell it who was boss around the area.

Jenn laughed at Yugi's response, then whistled hard. Before long, Ocean, her super white owl, was flying down to her, hooting happily. As Ocean landed, the owls deep blue eyes noticed the other owl, and she looked up at Jenn as if to say, "I can handle all of it by myself." and she puffed out her feathers. Jenn just shook her head, and attached the bigger package on Oceans leg. Ocean turned and faced the other owl, feather's still puffed out, and hooted. Ocean then spread her long wings and was rising out of the window, glancing back to make sure the other owl was right behind her.

Yugi hooted and ruffled his feathers as the large, and extremely beautiful, white owl appeared. It felt as if his feet were stuck to the floor. He clicked his beak, as his wings hung limply by his side. He was in a complete daze...

The sound of Ocean's hoot brought him back to his senses, and he quickly began to fly after her, and managed to stay hot on her tail, despite the size difference. The things an owl will do for love...

Jenn watched as the two owls flew off, her hand over her mouth as she laughed. She shook her head as Ocean started showing off to Yugi, and Yugi just watched in amazment. Still laughing and shaking her head, Jenn walked over to her bag and picked up everything, then walked to the door, opened it and walked out. She would probably head to bed or something like that. The Ravenclaw common room for sure. Then with those thoughts in her head, she walked down the corridor and headed up to the towers.

Rian shook her head. "When you start sleeping in classes, you'll know there's a problem." she smiled at him though, joking. She wiggled her shoulders a bit, getting more into the bean bag.

"Oh!" she exclaimed, sitting back up again. "I have a favor to ask you." she paused for a bit, smiling slightly when she realized that she just told him to get more sleep, and she was going to ask for something that probably took time. "Do you think you could make a camera for me? I'm going to make a memory book...It was Madame Kohan's idea..." she trailed off, looking hopefully at Sneeze.

"A camera? What type, any modifications? Anything special you want?" Sneeze prodded these questions with pride. He was so happy to have something to do.

"Just a normal camera would be fine," Rian said, smiling slightly. "Well, it would be cool if the pictures could move, like normal pictures, and could it be kind of small?" she asked, sitting back against the bean bag.

"Alright. I'll work with that, it'll take me tonight to do. I'll get it to you tommorow..." Sneeze smiled to her and gave her a wink. He really missed not being with her and wished she didn't dump him. Well, not dump him, just give them some time apart. His heart beated a bit faster.

Emiliano was now more interested in Karma's life. Soccer, she mentioned was one of her new hobbies at home. He smiled at her, still playing the music. "You seem to have a great relationship with your brothers..." He said, slowing the tempo of the song for a while.

Then, he looked around the room. He saw roses, lillies...all kinds of flowers appearing out of nowhere. Wait...he thought, He wanted to make this ocassion special for some reason, were the flowers part of it as well? He cleared his throat and tried to not really pay attention to the little details that came from nowhere.

"Ever since I was five years old..." Emiliano answered with a smile on his face, yet remembering what took him into music. "My parents worked from sunrise to sunset...I had homeschooling, so I just thought of something that might distract me while they were gone and a piano was the answer. I took lessons from my grandmother, then when we moved to England, a strict and very dedicated musician taught me...after Muggle School..." He told Karma.

Rian smiled and shook her head. Have it to her by tomorrow. He was truly amazing. "Alright, then, thanks." she said, flashing a smile at him. She swallowed back a sigh. Whenever she was alone with Sneeze since...she ended things, everything was turned sad. She knew that she 'broke up with him' for the better, but she couldn't get it out of her mind that she still liked him a lot.

he snickered as she said cuddly. He wanted to see that. he was sure they would both be in the twilight zone. he chuckled a little as he shrugged a little." let it go to my head. Never. What fun would that be?" he asked her as he moved to stick his hands into his pockets. he smiled as she told him his hat was adding to his hotness."I like the first one, but thank you." he looked at her as she asked if she would see him tomorrow."Sure. Its not like im going anywhere. I'll be here." he looked at her as he raised an eye brow at her." I think im going to be your favorite before the end of this week of yours." he winked at her as he then headed towards the door."open sesame." he thought that was what you said. the door started to open as he chuckled." i've always wanted to do that." he added as he let her go first.

"Anytime" Kayla replied with a smile. "But don't let that go to your heard" she smirked as she moved towards the door. "You'll come close Cayden but you'll never be number one while I'm with Nico, that spot is reserved for him. But you and Maddox are neck and neck at the moment" Kayla looked over her shoulder and blew him a kiss. She burst out laughing at his 'open sesame' comment. "Well what do you know...it worked" she said as stepped though the door and out into the corridor.

Sneeze got up from his seat. "Well, I better get going if I'm going to start working on that camera." Sneeze smiled at her and stood infront of her. He felt like he wanted to kiss her, but that would be weird. He stood there waiting for a while for Rian to respond.

Allie giggled a little bit. "Well you almost got it. I guess high notes arent the easiest thing to sing."
Hmmm now should she move on with the song? Or wait until her got the choruse 100% right.
"So, that was decent. Do you want to move on? Or try the chorus on more time?"

Rian chuckled and stood up too.She walked over to the piano and grabbed the parchment she'd been writing on. She walked back over to Sneeze, who was just standing there.

"Well thanks again." she said cheerfully, and before thinking about it, she stepped forward and gave him a hug. She stepped back, blushing furiously, and started walking to the door, forcing herself not to run.

Robert listened to Mariska and as she said she would be going more he raised an eyebrow. As she corrected herself he nodded, "Well that makes sense." Because why would she go for just me... As she turned the topic from Quidditch back to Charms he listened feeling only slightly frustrated. "Impervious how? To spells?" He looked thoughtful for a moment and as she looked back at him with a look that almost looked challenging he smirked. "Ok." Standing where he was the wardrobe looked to be a long distance away. Swallowing he held his wand up and made the same movements she had before, "Alohomora." As the doors swung open he grinned, "See, that's not so hard." He waited for her to reset the lock and performed the spell exactly the same way he had before several more times. His grin was large after the fourth time and he looked at Mariska smugly.

He watched as she turned to reset the lock once more but he waved her away, "No, let me try this one." Holding his wand out he waved it and said, "Colloportus." He watched as the doors started to swing shut rapidly. His eyes widened as he saw Mariska was too close but he couldn't find his voice in time. The doors slammed shut locking Mariska inside with a loud squelching noise. "M...Mariska!" He ran forward and tried to pull open the doors with no luck. "Mariska!"

Mari sighed at Roberts obvious misunderstanding. " I mean you can use a spell to make a door remain locked and be impervious to Alohomora. This way no one can open the door unless they know what magical locks you put in place and how to render them null. " She said and stepped aside to let him practice. She smiled a bit to herself as he unlocked the wardrobe several times, and she almost laughed at his smug expression. " Alright, here we'll do it again..." She looked over at him questioningly and stood just next to the wardrobes opening. " Oh, no don't use that..." She was cut off as she tripped and fell into the wardrobe, the doors effectively being sealed shut.

In the darkness, Mari bumped her head against the back of the wardrobe and she cursed slightly as she heard Roberts muffled voice. " Really?? You have to lock me in the wardrobe?!?!??" She said, shouting a bit. " You had better get me out of here, Robert Chambers, or I swear I'm going to hex you into next week!" She said, her fast speech making the French accent a bit more pronounced in her voice than it usually was. She didn'tquite like dark enclosed spaces; it had been a childhood fear of hers that still stayed with her.

Robert stared in fright at the closed doors as he tugged on them to no avail. "I...I..." he stuttered as she started yelling at him, his face turning red from both embarrassment and anger. "It's not like I did it on purpose! Why were you standing so close anyway?!" He knew it was absurd that he was getting mad at her after all it had been his own fault. He let go of the handles with a frustrated grunt and looked at the door. Pulling out his wand he pointed it at the lock and said, "Alohomora!" The spell bounced off the lock and hit him in the chest sending him flying several feet into the air and in a heap on the ground. He swore as he got up and rubbed his head where it had hit the chair that Mariska had been sitting on.

Still cursing silently under his breath he walked back over toward the wardrobe and pulled on the door again, "Why won't this bloody thing open?! What happens if I blast the thing?! There's a blasting spell right...?!" He continued to pull on the door handles with all his strength nearly tipping it over. "It's not working!"

Maddox took a deep breath, narrowed his eyes and said, "I am going to try one more time. Then if i dont get it we can move on. But i have to at least try one more time." He nodded his head in agreement with himself.


He waited for her to start playing. Then when it was time...he sang:



Cause that's me
I don't ask for much
Baby
Having you is enough

You ain't got to buy nothing
It's not what I want
Baby it's You
We don't have to go nowhere
Its not what I want
Baby it's you
It's not for what you got
I know you got a lot
No matter what you do
You always gettin Hot
It's You,
It's You
Baby all I want is You Yeah


He finally got it. He jumped up and did back flip in excitment! "WOO YEAH I DID!" He yelled.

Mari leaned against the back of the wardrobe, closing her eyes as her breathing grew a bit shallow. " Robert, just get me out of here, right now." She said, her voice shaking just a bit. " Don't blast it!" She shrieked, and then she grew quiet, racking her brain for the right spell. There was one, she knew it but all she could think of was how small and dark the space was and how she was STUCK in the damn thing. " There's a spell, I know it...I know it," She said, willing herself to calm down. She squeaked as the wardrobe shook suddenly, " What in the name of Merlin are you doing?!?!?" She said, getting more and more unhappy with the situation as time went by.
