Bella smiled and nodded at Jules and listened what Linda had to tell and then she nodded slowly and sadly smiled and said "okay then Linda,to the courtyard"

"Let's go," Jule said and hopped down from the chair. She started walking out the common room and waited for Linda and Izzy Bella to follow along.

Linda smiled.She said 'Come on then,let's go..' and walked out of the room with Jules and Bella.

Kel nodded his head slowly. "I dunno...I thought it'd be interesting or something." he bit his lip as he thought about what he was going to say next. "I wanted to see if you'd say anything about me...not that I had any reason to think that..." he frowned, a line appearing on his forehead as he studied Jenn's facial expression.

His eyes widened in horror as Jenn stood up to leave. He jumped off the chair, grabbed her arm, and winced slightly as the stuff in her bag that she had just put away fell out again. "Sorry I'll get that," he muttered without thinking, then looked at Jenn's eyes. "You don't have to leave, ya know." he told her, realizing he still had a hand on her shoulder. "I'm capable of a real, non-embarrassing conversation..." For all it was worth, Kel hoped he was telling the truth by saying that.

With what he hoped was an encouraging smile on his face, he looked down at Jenn. "What do you say? Wanna talk?"

Interesting huh? Really? Well, hopefully she met his interesting expectations. What he said next though made her eyes snap up to look at him. He was hoping she would say something about...him? Really? She eyed him, looking his face over, then looking at his eyes. He did look like he was lying, seeing how you could always tell by just looking at his eyes. She almost though wanted to wipe that line away from his forehead, and make that frown vanish. Yet, she held back, turning her gaze back down at her bag as she started placing the last book in.

Right when she was about to sling the messanger bag around her shoulder, he grabed her arm, making her bag drop to the floor out of her surprise. She turned to look at him, noticing that he was already looking into her eyes, which suprised her slightly. Turning to look at her bag, she sighed soflty, and shrugged. "It's nothing really. Just an acci-"her head snapped back up, her eyes locking onto his, widening slightly. He really wanted her to stay? Really?! Wow......she giggled as he said he was capable of a non-emabarressing conversation. She was sure he was, but was she?

She couldn't help but smile back up at him. "Well, I guess I do have some time on my hands for a non-embarrassing conversation."she teased, getting on her tip-toes to ruffle his hair playfully. "Just for you, I'll push my nap time to a later time."

Maura walked into the common room. She made a beeline straight for a chair in front of the fire and sank down into it. She pulled her iPod headphones out of her ears and put the device in the pocket of her faded gray denim skinny jeans. With a sigh, she kicked off her purple Converse sneakers, pulled her purple cami and white V-neck down over her studded belt, and let her body relax into the cushions. It felt good to relax after a long day.

Kel didn't look away from her as she glanced down at her bag. He was chewing thoughtfully on his lip, watching her closely so he could see what emotion she was feeling. He thought that she might be mad at him for teasing her so much about the dream...but after her smile and giggle, he knew he was in the clear. Jenn couldn't stay mad at him for long - that, he knew.

He rolled his eyes when she had to reach up to ruffle his already messed up hair. But, without thinking, he grabbed her wrist with his hand when she reached up. "You're so short." he observed quietly, suddenly preoccupied with unwelcome thoughts. You're in the perfect position to kiss her...all you'd have to do is gently pull up on that arm you're holding and bend down a bit... He shook his head, trying to get the thought out of his brain. But it kept reappearing, almost like a bad dream. Finally, to shut his stupid self up, he did as his brain (or heart?) told him. He readjusted his grip on Jenn's wrist as he pulled on it slightly, hoping to bring Jenn to her tip-toes. While he did this, he leaned down, closing his eyes as he went.

He dropped her hand as he kissed her, not wanting her to feel trapped or something. He did, however, leave his other hand on her shoulder, because he didn't really want her to pull away either. He made the kiss short, though, and soon he pulled away from her. He bit his lip yet again, searching her eyes for some sort of emotion, but he didn't say anything.

Jenn cocked her eyebrow, giving him a playful look as he grabed her wrist. You're so short? Noooo. Really? She hadn't noticed. "We'll maybe your just unnaturally tall?"she suggested, grinning. Of coarse, she already knew that she was short. At 5.3 she was quite short. Of coarse, he was 5.9 so he had no room to talk. Everyone was probably ant like small up there. Of coarse, the view had to be amazing.

Why was he looking at her like that? Why? Maybe she had drool dried onto her chin or something. EEK! She was about to touch her chin when she realized he was still holding her wrist. Maybe she should remind him that he was still holding it? But then.....oh!

She was suddenly on her tip-toes, and kissing....Kel.

Wow, she was not expecting that one. This was even better than the kiss they had done in her dream! It was....amazing! She felt him let go of her wrist, and she placed it around his kneck, closing her eyes. She could feel him though still holding her shoulder, and somehow that made her feel happy...oddly enough. Of coarse, everything right then made her feel happy.

It ended way too soon though for her liking. She felt him pull away, almost wanting to pull him back, but knowing how he would feel about that. That was the thing about Kel. You needed him to make the moves or else everything ended badly. She opened her eyes slowly, looking up at him, seeing him search her eyes as well. "Now that.....was better than any pumpkin pasty."she breathed out, slightly breathless, a big smile slowly coming onto her face.

Before he could control it, Kel's worried expression broke into a huge, teeth-showing grin. Better than pumpkin pasties? Now, any other person saying that wouldn't have been a big deal. But, Kel knew how much Jenn oved pumpkin pasties...and saying he was better than that was...something. "Thanks." he replied, his grin fading to a lopsided smile. "I can't say I try...'cause I don't. But thanks." Okay...so maybe he wasn't capable of a non-embarrassing conversation after all.

"Um...sorry about that." Although he really wasn't, it seemed like the gentlemanly thing to say. "So what do you say we do? Want to sit down? I think our chair was taken..." he looked back at the chair Jenn and him had been sitting in, which was now occupied. "How comfortable does the floor sound to you?"

Hannah walked into the Ravenclaw Common Room, and heaved a sigh, smiling. "It's good to be back." she muttered in her Welsh accent, looking around her, her blue eyes wide.

Michelle stepped inside the Ravenclaw common room again. She looked around and sighed, remembering the amount of homework she had to complete. Doesn't matter, she thought. After all, learning magic is what I'm here for. She took a deep breath and walked out of the room to the library.

"Mmm," she said lightly,"That would be nice." She watched the flames dance and lap into each other, casting shadows on their hands.

Closing her eyes briefly, she gets a flashback of the night in the maze, they were positioned the same way. Opening her eyes, she realizing they had only known each other for around 2-3 days, they had moved so fast. Sighing contentedly, there was noplace she would rather be.

Her smile seemed to have grown even wider as he did a actual really happy smile. She loved it....He was really happy! So happy he smiled in a happy teeth-showing one! He never did that! EEK! She shrugged. "Your welco-"and then he said he didn't try. She couldn't help but chuckle softly, but it ended quickly, for he did his amazing crooked smile. Sigh..........

She shook her head, trying to snap out of her little daydream state, actually realizing he was talking again. "What?"she asked, then it registered in her brain what he had said. "Oh.....Don't be sorry. Really." To be honest, she wanted him to do that a lot more often...but she wouldn't tell him that. She turned around to look as he said her chair had been taken. WHAT! SOMEONE STOLE HER CHAIR! Indeed, her chair had been taken. Sighs.......Maybe she would kick the person out of it. That could work. But then, he said they could sit on the floor. She turned her head down to look at it, and then back up at him. "Right now the floor sounds lovely. Better than standing, right?" She asked, laughing softly, then taking his hand and bringing him over to a corner, then pulling softly as she sat down. "This okay?"she asked, smiling up at him.

Jack was tired, but he knew that he had to at least try to study. With a couple of books in hand, he found a comfortable chair and began to read.

"I'm not sorry," Kel murmured as he let himself be dragged over to a secluded corner of the common room. His eyes widened briefly, but he told himself to calm down. Jenn just wanted a comfortable sitting place, that was all. He settled down against the wall, leaving what was probably too much space between him and Jenn.

"This is just perfect," he replied with a nod, stretching his legs out in front of him. He glanced at Jenn, then at the hardwood floor, and sighed. "You sure you wanna sit here with me? This isn't exactly comfortable, and you're tired..." he frowned slightly. He hoped that she would tell him she wanted to stay, but he didn't want her to be uncomfortable and sleep-deprived just to be with him.

Her eyes widened slightly as she caught the breif sentence Kel said. He wasn't sorry? Smiling smugly to herself, she turned to look at the wall, then back over at him, hoping her smug smile had disappeared, though she was sure the remants of it remained in her brown eyes, for she could almost feel them twinkling happily.

Crossing her legs she leaned her head against the wall, sighing. This was surprisingly nice actually. Most girls probably wouldn't have liked it, but she was weird like that. Her eyes she realized had closed, but when he asked his....dumb little question, they snapped open. "What are you talking about?"she asked, raising an eyebrow. "Would I have walked over here with you if I didn't want to be with you Kel?" She gave him a look, then rolled her eyes. "Besides, this is actually kinda comfortable and sleeping can wait. And to be honest I don't think I would be able to fall asleep anyway." Not after what had happened just barely. She had just kissed Kel....no sleep for now.

Skye entered the common room and collapsed into a chair. There was so much work to do, but she was starting to adapt a little. Closing her eyes, Skye relaxed a little. She opened her eyes and looked around, trying to absorb the common room. She hadn't really taken much time to see what her surroundings looked like.

After her trip to the Room of Requirement, Adrienne headed back to the common room. She wanted to drop her toe shoes off before heading out to classes or wandering aimlessly anyway, but she also had realized she simply hadn't spent a lot of time in Ravenclaw Tower thie term either. So she headed over to a free couch and dropped into it gracefully, leaning her head back against the back of the couch as she glanced at the fire. If she wanted to be honest with herself, it was strangely peaceful in here. Mainly since a certain head boy couldn't come after her shoes in there. Even though she actually liked needling him, especially when she was wearing any of her black pairs of shoes.

Shifting slightly as she tried to get more comfortable, she accidentally hit her bag and tipped it over, dislodging her toe shoes which slid out and hit the floor. Eyes widening, she leaned forward to try and pick them up before they got too damaged.

Studying was taking place in Emiliano's time before going home for vacations and of course, the party at his house to celebrate Christmas. He was really excited for such event, that sometimes didnt let him think during the scheduled time of reading and doing practices.

He had been at the boys' dormitory, reading back and forth every book he could find interesting and also in need to help him, but then decided it was time for a break. Maybe sitting by the fire could relax him a bit more, as he thought.

Once there, Emiliano hadn't actually seen a girl reaching for a pair of black shoes, because he was practicing the wand movements as instructed, when he just tripped over the girl's bag and almost hit her in the process of falling. Gladly, he reacted. Clumsy days wore off...that seemed.

oh, god...He exclaimed inside his mind, hoping that the girl had not gotten injured. "I'm sorry..." Em quickly said, picking up the bag and waiting for the girl to reclaim...if there was any need.

Emily floped into a chair and opened a box of bertie bott's everyflavor beans, she decided to play a gamble she would judge the flavor by the color of the bean and see if she was right "would anyone else like to play bertie botts gamble?" emily asked. she lifted a pink bean from the box and thought "i think this one is strawberry" she said popping it into her mouth "oh darn! it is not be strawberry but it is bubble gum, at least it isn't something disgusting" she said giggling

Ignoring the rest of her belongings and bag, which was semi-dangerously spread out on the floor, Adrienne had managed to catch one of her precious toe shoes before it had slid too far across the floor, and reached even further to try and retrieve its mate. But then, as she was still awkwardly stretched out, someone almost hit her, and she glanced over in shock to see a boy picking up her bag.

Finally reaching her other toe shoe, she sat up again with her blue eyes wide, setting the dance shoes on the couch next to her as she looked at the boy. Who was apologizing. "No. It's my fault. I was stupid enough to knock my bag over, and then I forgot about it to save my shoes before they could get too damaged. I mean, I can't really do much if I lose them." At least, she couldn't dance. Which she wasn't even sure when she was going to get to next. Anyway . . . "I'm sorry. I hope you didn't get too hurt." She reached a hand out to retrieve her bag from him, feeling extremely awkward.

Maura brought her knees up to her chest and rested her chin on them. She stared into the fire absently, and then shifted the iPod in her pocket as she became aware that it was pressing into her hip uncomfortably. She wrapped her arms around her legs and continued her staring, deliberately doing nothing after a long long day of doing everything.

Emily had played bertie bott's gamble until her box was half empty, or was it half full? Whatever it was half was gone. She had eaten a bbble gum bean, and cotton candy bean, a mushroom bean, a pumpkin bean, a play dough bean, a cinnamon bean, a pina colada bean, and many other flavors... some of which she enjoyed and the others not so much. Emily's kneazle bubbles jumped onto her lap, and emily found her pygmy puff jelby to be sitting atop it's head.

Emily sighed, she didn't think many people liked her. She was, after all, clumsy though she was extremely good at spells and what not. She had had many friends at muggle school, so she wondered why she didn't have any now. She had met a far few on the train but they were mostly from slytherin and gryffindor, and her best friend was in gryffindor. Though at the feat she did meet some great friends but she hadn't seen them around in awhile.

Emily leaned back and took out her new diary and unwrapped it.

DIARY ENTRY #1

Dear Diary,
Hogwarts is great, i have met some new friends, though i don't see them all that much. I have had a few classes already, and by far my favorite is transfiguration. The proffessor is so funny, and he seems to have some strange liking for peeps. He is helping me to become an animagus! Isn't that great? I think it is, the headmaster says it isn't a bad idea for me to talk to proffessor svensson about it and to read up on animagi. But anyway I think i may stop for now, WTYL.

Anya spotted a girl sitting not too far away, and looking a bit sad. She went to go comfort her.

"Hi, I'm Anya. You look sort of sad, is something wrong? Its Emily right? Emily Moonfield?" she asked, remembering her name from the sorting

"oh no nothings wrong" emily said "it's just my best friend is in gryffindor, and i hardly ever see her especially since she doesn't take the same classes as me" she replied "and yes it's emily... berti botts bean?" she said offering the girl the box.
