''I'm glad if you say so'' Josh said still surprised at how cold her hands were. ''But it lasts for not long and i doubt that'll be enough for your hands. Unfortunately i never carry around gloves.'' As he felt the increased heat leave his hands he was about to put hers down when in a sudden a blinding light flashed on them. ''Wha-!?'' he looked around, confused and saw something like Rafe's back profile leaving the bar. And Rose's question confirmed that it was Rafe. ''Yeah, i think so.'' he replied ''Maybe he decided to be a paparazzi'' laughing loudly he rubbed her hands a little gently putting them on the table. ''You know. I'm extremely charming and famous''

K walked into the Three Broomsticks to get a butterbeer and see if any of her friends where around and also to see if anyone else she knew was around. She also didn't know what to do about muggle studdies homework. "I wonder how i'm going to get five pictures" She thought to her self, She then went and grabbed a seat and looked around the room watching her classmates.

Evelyn laughed, rubbing her eyes, hoping that that would help get rid of the stubborn white spots so she could see properly. "Oh, i would have never of guessed." she teased him, smirking, although slightly disappointed when his hands seemed to slip out almost completely from hers.

'Teehee, Ev has a cruuuuussshh.' The voice sang in her mind. 'No...i don't...' It was useless to argue because they both knew the voice was right. But hey...they were only eleven. At least she thought Josh was eleven. He could be twelve. When was his birthday? "I think he was doing that Muggle Studies assignment." she said, glancing back at the door before turning back to Josh. "Of course i have yet to start..."

Yeah, the Muggle Studies assingment. Rafe was going to give Professor Dumont a pic of him and Rose looking like holding hands as homework how nice! Funny, as well. ''I'm going to do it too'' he said looking at her. At first sight he though he saw some feeling of being upset into her eyes but forgot about it 'You lately began to make up much about people's thoughts by body language and, man. Why cannot you stop this stupid nonsense?' ''And i have great plans about it. Everyone will be horrified. The professor said he wanted us to be creative so he cannot complain'' he shoke his head both to approve himself and to chase the other thoughts away ''No he cannot. So what are you planning to do?''

"What are you going to do?" she asked, curiosity taking over as she listened to him speak. "Well firstly, i gotta figure out how to use the camera...and other than that..." she paused in her talk, suddenly having a look of realization grace her face.

Smiling widely, she looked over to Josh. "Do you think Professor Bunbury likes her picture being taken or not?" laughing silently to herself, she was beginning to remember her ideas when she was in the hospital wing. 'Wonder if i can get a really embarrassing picture of her...and then post it around school. Who cares about being on her good side...'

''Using the camera is the easiest thing in the world that comes right after making Evan mad, i can show you'' Josh laughed. Really, he even doubted that the boy was made of pure aggressive soul. Maybe he could do this assigment on him to annoy him further maybe if his current idea would not work. Snapping out of it he replied Rose about his project ''I'm going to take the pictures of dead people'' with a cheerful expression and thought over her question. ''Professor Bunbury?'' he repeated ''I dunno but she did not look like the type to be happy with it, however i'm sure she'd look beautiful on a pic. What's with her anyway?''

Evelyn stared at him as if he grew an extra head. "Dead people?" she asked, unsure on how to approach that. "As in like...the ghosts in the castle?" Shaking her head somewhat, she tried to think of anything that was...'dead'...that he could take a picture of.

"Well that's good. It wouldn't really work if she did like her picture taken." Ignoring his comment on the professor being beautiful...'try not to glare'... she juggled the memories of Professor Bunbury in her mind. 'Creepy in Herbology/Care of Magical Creatures class, way suspicious in the hospital ward, running away when Jake woke up, low tolerance for kids... Aw, yup, definitely evil. Dang, and i thought she was pretty cool. Oh well, easy target for jokes then.'

"Umm, i don't know." she said softly, clearing the thoughts away. Smiling, she glanced around the room before looking back to Josh. "Yea, you'll have to teach me how to use the camera then since i have no clue."

''Ghosts?'' he blinked at Rose ''That's a good idea but no. I did not mean ghosts'' 'Ghosts...Peeves...Creatures...The Forbidden Forest...Darkness...Dungeons... Stop! I already have a plan' his mind racing someimes was making him sick and annoyed with it ''Not dead that way.'' he explained further ''I mean people with dead minds and souls and for example; there are many in the Library, get what i mean?'' he leaned back his eyes on her long beautiful hair. ''I hope you did not expect me to believe this 'i dunno''' he first touched her hair. ''Ah nice and soft...anyway what was i talking about'' he flicked fingers ''Um yes forget about it. Of course i'd love to teach you how to use the camera, i'd love to teach you anything. Just dont ask the impossible from me'' he laughed and stood up. ''Hold on a moment'' then walked away to get two butterbeer.

Evelyn nodded when she understood what he meant. "I see what you mean." 'Kinda like the ravenclaws.' She finished in her mind, forcing her laugh to stay down. She was probably way off from what he was trying to say, but she couldn't help but think it.

She froze slightly when he touched her hair, unsure of what to do, but then a second later, he was talking again before standing up and walking away. Watching him as he left for the moment, she turned back in her seat and stared at the table, playing slightly with the ends of her curled, wavy hair. A small smile playing on her lips, she waited for Josh to return, enjoying the warm and happy atmosphere.

Joshua walked among the crowd greeting everyone he had an eye contact regarless of whether he knew them or not. Stopping by the bar he indicated for two butterbeers to the woman who he thought, was in charge and when she told him to wait a little, hands in pockets he looked around at the crowd. 'Many people, many different characters. Interesting!. Finally grabbing the two bottles he walked back to their table and sat down. ''Bored while i'm away?'' he put the bottles on the table with a little thud ''Bottoms up if you were!''

"Terribly." she smiled, taking the butterbeer. "Thank you." Though suddenly, her natural instinct on not eating or drinking anything given to her by someone she didn't know kicked in. 'Oh come on, it's Josh. I know him tons.' she thought, playing with the bottle instead of drinking it.

Looking outside the window, all she could see was white, actually making her feel rather bored even though she wasn't. "Is there anything fun to do?" she asked aloud, not knowing that she did.

''Fun? You asked for fun? Yay'' he laughed and clapped his hands ''I always have lots of fun things and ideas you know. Here we go'' he put his bottle on the table and kindly hold her wrists directly staring into her hazel eyes 'Charming colour' ''Now, we are playing another game'' he explained without moving his eyes or hands ''The instructions are simple. Choose a colour between brown or gray but dont tell it. Just focus your thoughts on the colour. When you were done and focused enough on it imagine an object with that colour. Be careful with choosing the object. Dont make it too specific for a colour like a tree which is probably calls for brown or silver. When you got the object focus your thoughts on the selected coloured object.'' he took a breath ''Then here goes the exciting part. You tell me the object whe you are focused enough, only the object not the colour. Okay? And beginning from this second you'll do these as you stare into my eyes like i do. Any questions?''

'Weird game.' Evelyn thought, but did as he said. "Wait, any color between brown and gray or choose either the color brown or gray?" she asked, tilting her head a little to the side as she always did when curious about something or thinking.

''Stay straight and just look into my eyes'' Josh warned her still holding her wrists ''Just two options, choose brown or gray.'' he answered really wondering like what this game would turn into at the end.

Evelyn sat up straight, and looked into his eyes. 'His dark, dark eyes...' she thought, almost mesmerized. 'Okay choose a color...gray. Yup. Now an object. Eyes. Gray eyes. Dark gray eyes.' Smiling slightly, she continued to think, wondering when she was supposed to be telling him what the object was.

Seconds passed and Josh simply stared at her eyes without moving a muscle ''Good'' he said smiling disturbing the silence after about a minute ''Very good.'' then released her wrists. ''We are done. You can tell me the object now. So i can continue with drinking my butterbeer'' laughing some he finally broke the eye contact. ''And we will continue with another game. Okay? Ah.. and did you like it?''

"Hmm, exciting game." she said, raising an eyebrow, bewildered, but amused nonetheless. "They were eyes by the way. The object i mean." she whispered, turning and playing with the bottle on the table. 'Did i like it? Hmm, staring into eachothers eyes, him almost holding my hands for a complete minute...' "Yea, it was enlightening." she laughed, joking a little.

''Don't judge about it too soon'' he said with a mischevious smirk ''Maybe i made up all that stuff just to make you look at my eyes. How can you tell?'' he laughed. He really had trouble with concentrating as he watched the colour of her eyes, barely managing to lose it with excitement. She was hard to tell. ''Umm...'' he took a sip of his butterbeer ''Before we start our next game, can i demand a little favour from you?'' he inquired looking at her with puppy eyes.

Evelyn matched his mischievous smirk. "Than you should make up stuff more often." she whispered, turning from staring at the butterbeer to him, laughing at his puppy dog face. "How can i resist that face? Sure, what is it?"

'Now, that was good news' with a half smile ''You are already talking to the master of it, if you want more made up stuff'' he winked at her. He drank some more of his drink before he began stating what he wanted ''Thanks. I know it will sound pathetic but...'' he sighed ''I'm having trouble with my Herbology - Care of Magical Creatures Homework. You know, the wand essay. The professors told about the properties of neither the salamander scale nor the hazel tree. They all talked about those most popular cores and woods , Cedric Diggory'' he rolled his eyes ''I dont know how to do it. Do you have any idea?'' he smiled ''I promise i can understand if you'd like to snap at me for being so lazy''

"Aw, yes, i forgot." she giggled, playing with her drink. "No it's not pathetic. I had to ask my friend Destiny for help too. She found these really great books in the library on wand woods and cores that i could probably find again for you. But to tell you the truth, i haven't heard of anyone having a salamander scale for a wand core before." she said, staring at him with a guilty expression. "It was hard enough trying to find any information on my wand core, i don't know how hard it will be to find information on yours."

Finally taking a sip of the butterbeer, she set it down and stared at it again. "There was also another part of the assignment you could do instead. I think it was to take the items you found in the scavenger hunt and to make a wand out of it or something and to tell it's properties and such. I'll have to check again what it was though."

''Dont even bother to have a look at it'' Josh said ''I did not collect anything in the hunt. Just wandered around, picked on some students, one of them nearly cried'' he sighed again ''but i regretted it, to be frank, and still feel guilty about it. She did not give me the chance to apologise. Anyway, in brief, i did everything except collecting the things we were supposed to find.'' he moved closer to her ''And yes everyone says the same thing about the scale. But...'' he took out his wand, light brown coloured/12 inches, and put it on the table ''This is what the guy in Ollivanders gave me. I remember him saying that he knew who i was the moment i stepped inside. I think that impossible. Such a weirdo. It'd be much more easy if he had given me a phoenix or dragon or whatever popular wand. Dont you think so?'' he drank more butterbeer ''By the way what is your core and wood? I'd like to see your essay''

K walked into the Three Broomsticks to wait for her friend Vicky, "Can I have too butterbeers please. It was my freinds birthday Yesterday so I'm helping her celebrate it." K looked around and saw some people she knew, "Hello" she said. K then grabed a table and waited for Vicky to come in to celebrate.

"Wand makers have a tendency to act like that i guess." she said, remembering reading something about the Ollivander guy. "I think that the salamander core wand chose you for a purpose. I've read about salamander blood and tail i think before, maybe you can read up on that and then just interpret what you might think the scale will stand for."

Sitting back in her chair again, she stared unblinkingly at Josh. 'Wants to know what my wand wood and core is. Will he be like Destiny if i told him? Or different?' she thought, weighing the options of telling him or not in her mind. 'Well if i told her, i might as well tell him.' Taking out her wand, hidden in her back pocket, she held up the dark wood. "Mine is Ash and..." She could barely continue. Would he think different of her? Destiny didn't. "...Basilisk fang."
