Marilyn gave Evelyn a look. "The eagerness is rolling off you in waves." She rolled her eyes and chanced a glance at Carter and Josh. Seriously, they were both Slytherins. Slytherins know other Slytherins. Evelyn was about to go for the kill. "If you're going to ask, don't tease me..."

Yup, a Slytherin could definitely not fool another Slytherin. Evelyn didn't speak for a moment or so. She just watch Marilyn, tapping her foot slightly, and then finally she leaned forward, a slightly eager expression on her face. "Okay, seriously, you and Rafe are like..." How was she going to say this? "I mean, like, when you two were together for those few moments in here, the air around you guys just..." She waved her hands through the air as if it would get her point across. Think, think, think! "Well, I have no clue how to say it, but you know what I mean. What's up with you two? I'm surprised Carter didn't notice anything."

"I sounds like..what?" Hahaha..he was cute and funny sometimes. There are lot more to learn more about girls..No. No girls, but me for a fifteen year old boy. Adorable boy. Alice laughed at his comment, "Butterflies are not only adorable but silly too," she giggled sweetly, "Well..jokes apart, believe me, it's a one of my weaknesses. I just cant keep my hands off from toys, no matter what make it was" She said honestly, with her casual smile playing across her lips.

Toy broomsticks. Aha. Alice got more urge to meet his sister Nova. "She has three? I wish I could meet her right now.." she laughed and taking a sip of her butterbeer. Mmmm..

Playing with his hair, She smiled. "I know, Fyo. I wont let you go..never" her voice was soft yet firm.

Marilyn smirked, mostly to hide her helplessness over the situation. Defense mechanism. "Evie, not even I know..." Her eyes darted between her fellow Slytherin and the boys ordering drinks. When she spoke again, it was in a whisper. "Rafe kissed me outside..."

"You should know," Fyo grinned, when she began to detail Butterfly features. Mmm, toys. He was glad he had picked one for her. Picked a unicorn, too - it was clear she liked those. "Yes, three," he went on, with a nod. Ah, Nova! "She actually wants a fourth one. She loves quidditch as much as she loves the stars. I think you and Nova would have a wonderful time with each other, if the two of you ever sit down together."

He returned her smile with one of his own, and then took another sip of butterbeer. Outside, the weather was warm, but it felt perfect. "We did we pick a table-for-two?" He laughed, suddenly. "Next time, we can pick a table-for-one, or something like that."

Okay, well Evelyn had been expecting an answer like that, but...that was all Marilyn was going to say? Or was she just, nervous or something? Smiling a little, she leaned back in her seat again, and crossed her arms. "Aaaand? Is that all? Do you like him? More than Carter I mean." she whispered back, tilting her head a little to the side as she started thinking. Were Marilyn and Carter really fake dating? Or did Marilyn just say that...Or maybe she was reading too much into that, and making herself confused. Like she was now.

Alice laughed. He and his smartness! She enjoyed it and liked to hear him talk and explain things more and more. Nova, his lil sister. She knew how much he loved his sister, and it was obvious too. She looked at his happy face, nodded, "There's no wonder she has planned to get the fourth one. She like quidditch. But on the contrast I'm not a big fan of flying, never.." she pouted with small smile on her face.

Wait..what he had said? Table for one?!!! It took two seconds to her to realize what he was trying to tell. She was on his lap and so there was no need a table for two. Hehe.. "Oh..God. Did i crush you, Fyo?" she asked alarmingly.

Fyo grinned. "I think she might want it as a birthday present, when I go back this summer," he admitted. "Of course, if that's the way things turn out, I can't refuse. But it beats me what she's going to do with not two, not three, but four broomsticks. It's not the other ones don't work, or have grown too old, or anything." He paused, then added, "My mum thinks that if she grows into some sort of really spoiled kid some day, it will be my fault."

But that was unfair - he was the one always running into little fights with her. Not that they weren't close. But he definitely tried to keep a check on her. He couldn't help that! The"big brother = protective" thing, y'know.


She didn't like quidditch much? Aww. Fyo loved the sport but, of course, to each, their own. "Differences make us stronger, right?" He asked, with half a smile. But then his smile had grown, and his face had broken into a grin at her question. "Of course not," he laughed. "I'm not one of your teddy bears, Lis - I thought you told me I have muscles." Hehe.

Carter nodded. "Yeah man. Only two things can happen. And it looks like you've got that figured out. Just do it. If she didn't like you I doubt she'd be wearing Gryffindor colors right now."

"Oh." Alice listened him talking about Nova, intensly and interestingly. She sipped on her drink again, nodding her head as agreeing with him. "But, Can you help me? I'd like to buy a toy broomstick for her. Just take me with you in summer, so that I can give it to her as a birthday present. Can you, Fyo?" she looked at him, excitedly yet expetingly. She knew he wouldnot say no to her genuine wish ..well..kinda request.

Taking another happy look at that fluffy white Unicorn. Alice turned to him, "Yes. I know you love to fly. What my problem is, I fell off my broom when I was a kid around five years old and it makes me afraid of flying all the time" she said, shyness spreading through her body quickly.

Haha. Muscles. Mmm..cool.

She bit on her bottom lip and looking at him through her thick eye-lashes. "Yes, I did. But being careful is my job..you know?" she put the butterbeer on the table and wrapped another arm too around his neck, smiling.

Take her with him? Buttt ... "But I thought you wanted me to come over," Fyo said, surprised. She had asked him if he could move in, hadn't she? He couldn't, but he had thought he would pay her a visit in the summer. "But that doesn't matter - the main thing is that we should be together. You can come with me, anytime, Lis." He had a visit scheduled for the Caribbean, but it would not take up all of his summer vacations.

Childhood fears were ... not good. "You can fly with me, in the summer," he told her, with a gentle smile. "It will be nice, and I'll make sure you don't fall, alright? We're going to eliminate that fear of yours, Lissy." He grinned when she wrapped her other arm round his neck, and nodded.

"I know, Butterfly."

Alice had planned this in her mind already. As Fyo, trying to sort out their summer visits, she grinned, "Ofcourse I did. And you're going tobe in my place before visit yours for celebrating Nova's birthday. Sounds like a plan?" her eyes full of excitement with curiosity. Being with him was the wonderful thing to her, forever. She was going to meet his family, very soon and she couldnt wait for it.

Slightly humming under her breath, Alice looked at him with widened eyes. "Are you sure?" she gaped in sweet surprise, "I'm more willing and ready for this thing as long as it's you with me" she smiled happily, not feeling any fear of flying now. It was wonderful how her fears disappeared like a magic.

Oooh. Fyo nodded. "Definitely," he said. "Though we might have to sit down and sort out dates, a bit - I have another visit scheduled, this summer. Trip to the Caribbean." He was looking forward to that, too. But more than most things, he wanted to be home, sweet home.

"Of course," He said, giving her a gentle smile. He was glad she trusted him so much, and he really had no plans of breaking that trust. Ever. "It's going to be fun, you'll like it once you get used to it."

Because flying was - is - good.

Alice's smile widened and her face lit up. "Sure, tell me when you have free time, I'll join you and we can discuss about this dates." Alice didnt finish her sentence but gasped. Caribbean!! Caribbean Island! OMG! "Trip to Caribbean? Fyo, you're so lucky. With whom you're going?" she was more curious about this place. She had heard of this Island before, but never seen.

Speaking of flying, she couldnt resist her not asking this to him. "How many brooms you have Fyo? What makes?" she was more invovled in this thing now, "And..You will take me in yours, right?" a small giggle escaped from her mouth, as sitll playing with his hair but with two hands now.

"Whenever you're free," Fyo said, with something of a smile. He had exams, of course, but he had already revised most of his notes, and now had plenty of free time on his hands. That's the one good thing about being a top student, the fourth year thought to himself.

Lucky? Well ... Fyo had not been to the Caribbean before, but it was not that much of a problem - he knew he could go any summer he wanted to. But he couldn't deny he was excited. It was always brilliant to see a new place! "Brody Summers," he told her, in answer to her question. "She invited me, so it will be me, Brody and her best friend, Sylvia."

"One," Fyo laughed. "I'm not Nova, Lissy, a single broomstick is more than enough for me. It's the latest Nimbus," he added, with a fond look in his eyes. He loved his broom a lot. Then he grinned, and nodded. "Sure! In fact, I think that's a most wonderful idea."

Sorry, so late in replying
 

Sorry, I am late" Jason told Mina, " I had some last minute plans to help with J.J.'s wedding" Jason apologized to her. Well, my really, really good friend is here" Jason said to mina. Jason brings his butterbeer to the table. " I would never break my promise to my friend" Jason explained to Mina.

Looking up from her empty glass, Mina blinked. She was really lost in her thoughts apparently and missed seeing Jason walk over. "Oh, don't worry. I understand. Just people watching." she smiled. "The wedding sounds fun, I'm excited to go. I even have a new dress for it." Well new was a relative term really, it was just a normal dress she had yet to wear, but no one needed to know that. "I highly doubt you could ever break a promise Jason."

"Okay." Alice grinned and release his neck as she pulled away her left hand to take her drink again. Time was not a problem to her. She could spend her time with him at anytime. No..restrictions and other engagements.

Ah..who? Brody Summers. Oh. Torin's ex-girlfriend. She remembered that name very well. Torin told she dumped him without strong reasons. Oh..that girl was inviting Fyo to the Island. Alice swallowed, "Oh."she said simply and looked down at her own butterbeer, lost in her own thoughts.

She smiled within next few minutes, "Sorry, I thought you might have atleast two brooms since you're Nova's brother. Sweet brother.." she teased him and felt happy that she was going to ride on Fyo's broom with him, ofcourse. Yay!

Fyo was pretty sure he noticed a change in Lissy. For a moment, he did not understand the reason behind it, but then it dawned upon him that she might have ... problems. With Brody. Because pretty much everyone he knew had problems with Brody. Even Shana, with whom he was friends no longer because she always had to badmouth the Hufflepuff.

"You alright?" He asked her gently. He could never be angry with Lissy, not really. He took one of her hand in his, and gave it a light squeeze. "I guess you've heard people speak bad of Brody. Haven't you? She's someone I care for a lot, Lissy. She's like a sister to me, and I love her."

"I only have one." But he did not smile, because he was worried. He didn't want Lissy to not like Brody. Not ever.

It was evident that Evelyn wasn't going to stop til she had the full story. Marilyn sighed, leaning forward on the palms of her hands. "Some things were said and he told me how he felt." Her eyes fluttered shut, her mind replaying the scene between Rafe and herself. "I like him so much, Evelyn." The way she said this sounded truly pained. The wounds from earlier were still fresh. "But I choose Carter."

Alice nodded her head, "Yes, I'm." she then looked at their hands when Fyo took hers and squeezed gently. It was feeling so good as always. She listened him explaining things to her patiently. That was Fyo. He knew her way of thinking and knew how to handle them as well.

"Yes, I've heard some' She said honestly, not to mention that the first message was coming from Torin. "I dont have any hard feeling against her, Fyo. B'cuz I didnt know what happened between her and others, so I dont want take sides, and I'm not yet meet or talk to this girl. So there's no chance to go against her." she said, softly, "It was just a reaction when I heard her name. That's all. I would have done that for anyother names too..I dunno.." she smiled and running her finger over his cheek, gently caressing.

"Dont worry, Fyo. I told you, Your Lissy is growing up, and matured" she squeezed his hand back, re-assured her words.

Fyo let her speak, his eyes on the table. He was sure he understood but still, it was important to explain. He couldn't possibly bear it if another of the people he knew hated Brody -- this had gone too far.

"She's a wonderful person," he told Lissy gently. "She broke up with Torin because his friends gave her a hard time. A lot of them were of the opinion that she had 'stolen' Torin from them. That wasn't fair at all, Lis - I would feel terrible if anyone said you stole me. In fact, I might as well display an exhibition of a muggle duel, if a guy ever said that out loud."

He paused, then closed his eyes. "Do you want another butterbeer?" He wanted to talk about them, now. No one else.

Ooof, what's wrong with her today? Waving his hand in front of her, Blake muttered, "You called me here..?" Now he was getting impatient. Frowning, Blake swigged the butterbeer down and smacked his lips, "So why did you want to talk......privately?" He inquired giving a hasty glance around the overflowing bar. Pretty private.

"Mmmm.." Alice nodded her head again, "Fyo? Why dont you give us a chance to meet each other? I mean Me and Brody.." she suggested, really wanted to meet this girl.

She knew about Fyo's muggle type duel. There was a living proof of it. Haha. But it was funny.

"Mmm..I'd like to see your skills again, Lion" she giggled midly, and said, "Yes," another butterbeer sounds good, "... but..with one condition.." she looked at him mischievously.

" Glad you like weddings" Jason told Mina. " Well, I bet you will look pretty in your new dress" Jason said to Mina. " I appreciate you trusting me" Jason explained to Mina.
