" I like silly people" Rex told Emily. "Actually, you make being a friend to you a lot of fun" Rex explained to Emily."What animals do you own?" Rex asked Emily. Rex pushed Emily very high. " Now jump and see where you land, it is fun"
Rex said to Emily.

Helena smiled with a small chuckle as he gave her one last quick squeeze. At his question, though, she sighed and, unfortunately, nodded slowly. In fact, I have. It doesn't matter who the person is - if you don't want the hug, it's definitely creepy. She laughed slightly and shook her head.

Wait just a minute! Helena just nodded. Uh ohhhh! Drew didn't really think she had butbutbut shhhe had! It was suppose to be a joke....Good one dumbie! "I'm surrre. Annnd um sorry I really didn't think...." He just trailed off towards the end. Wow! Helena won't be upset right? That's not Helena she would be mad.....hopefully.

Helena couldn't help but to laugh once more as he stuttered over his words - why would Drew think she was actually upset, though? What's wrong? All you did was ask a question - no need to be sorry about that, she said with another light chuckle. That one was sort of forced, but only because Drew apologizing for asking her something made her feel really bad!!

Emily pushed herself off the swing and landed pretty far from it on the ground. Her new record too! she hadn't fallen over! She then put her hands up in a triumphant stance then turned back to Rex. "Well I have a Kneazle, a Pygmy Puff, and an Albino ferret, of course you've met them all... especially my kneazle" Emily giggled remembering when her kneazle had scratched him. "And my family has an Elf Owl named Drizen. He is small and spoilt." Emily added.

Did she just laugh???? What! Butbutbut...Grahhh! Confusing Helena! "Wellll yeah I guess but I didn't know and....and I didn't know it you took it the wrong way or something...." Drew said softly. "Ohhh well that's a good thing then....I just wasn't sure." He said still quietly.

"Well that is a lot of pets" Rex told Emily. " That was a great jump" Rex said to Emily. " Yes, I remember your kneazle and the rest but could you tell me the names of the knezle, pgymy puff and albino ferret again?" Rex asked Emily. " i know about owls but I never heard of an Elf Owl" Rex explained to Emily.

Awwww poor Drew! Lena felt soooooo bad that he thought she'd been upset. I'm sorry, she said sort of quietly while also chuckling just once more at the end of her words. Just for further reference, I tend to not sweat the small stuff, she added with a small smile and a wink.

No!!! There was no reason for Helena to feel sorry! "You don't have to be sorry." Drew told her honestly. "Ahhh well I will have to rememeber that. Though it would have helped if I knew that a few moments ago." He said smiling to her returning the wink.

:Well my kneazle's name is Bubbles, my albino ferret is named Karma, and my Pygmy puff's name is Jelby" Emily told him.

"Bubbles-knezle, Karma- ferret and Puff's-Jelby-got it" Rex told Emily. "So how did you get all these animals?" Rex asked Emily.

"Well, last year, when I was shopping in Diagon Alley for my first year I bought Bubbles, then When i was going through the joke shop there I bought Jelby. Then this year, on the way to Hogwarts on the train, my mom sent me a letter telling me that my grandmother had died that morning and that she left me her ferret, and dad sent it to hogwarts right after the feast with this locket." Emily said as she pulled the locket out from under her shirt. "Now that my grandmother has died all of this mystery in my family has come up, it turns out my father's aunt was in Ravenclaw and a witch, but he is a muggle. So we are trying to find out what really happend, for now we are moving all the wizarding things from my grandmother's house because she got everything when my great aunt died; but, thanks to this locket, we think my grandmother knew this whole time that I was a witch." Emily said opening the locket and showing rex the two pictures, one of her great aunt and one of Emily making 'potions' in the sink, and also the piece of paper that said 'the family secret'.

"You got your good looks from your aunt and grandmother" Rex told Emily as he looked at her locket. "I want to get along with Bubbles so lets hope it works when you have Bubbles with you" Rex said to Emily. "Wow, I love a good mystery" Rex explained to Emily.

Yeah and I hope to solve it!" |Emily said "Dad says if we move to Canada we will be living at her big farm house, he said I could snoop around the property and house as much as I want." she said.

"I know you will solve the mystery" Rex told Emily. " Now we have to solve the mystery while Bubbles is not fond of me "Rex said to -mily laughing."The farnhouse must be big but I go to my friend's castle ,Jason Potter Weasley's- for the weekend" Rex explained to Emily. "He even has a a Quidditch pitch in his backyard" Rex told her.

"Hey I went there last summer for a party he had, we hadonly met a few times in the castle but on the train he invited me over for the party." Emily said, "I didn't see you there." she added.

Ella sat herself down on a swing and took out the camera Carter had given her. She took a few pictures of people around her as she rose to different heights on the swing. It was a pretty neat experience; the wind blowing her hair back, the awesome shots she was taking.. she had to show Carter and Mina soon. She smiled to herself and pocketed the camera, throwing her head back and looking up at the sky. She closed her eyes.

Cadence ran through the grounds, searching Ella. She hadn't been able to find her anywhere in the castle. Running over to jungle gym, she spotted Ella on the swings taking pictures. "Ella! Ella!" she yelled, running toward her, a bit out of breath, her arms sore from carrying her books all over everywhere. She probably should have gone right to the hospital wing, but she felt that Ella should know that something was wrong with Mina.

Ella saw Cadence running toward her and sat up in her swing, alarmed. "What happened, Cadence?" she asked, because Cadence certainly looked like something was wrong.

"M-Mina!" she gasped, finally making it to the swings. Cadence took a couple of deep breaths as she tried to settle herself. Once her heart had slowed down, she looked at Ella very seriously and said, "I just saw Mina in the courtyard. She looked really confused, and she was wearing her pajamas and her clothes were all ripped and she was bloody. Then she passed out. Professor Lawson is taking her to the hospital wing. Something was really, really wrong with her..."

Ella gasped in shock. She grabbed Cadence's hand and said, "Let's go!!" She was so shocked and surprised she couldn't work her emotions. What had happened to Mina?

"I-I need to go send a letter first. I'll meet you there." she said to Ella, not allowing herself to be dragged to the hospital wing. Then she looked intently into Ella's eyes. "Don't worry, Ella. I'm sure she's going to be okay." Cadence wasn't sure how strongly she believed that, but she would do her best, for now, to make Ella believe it because frankly, Cadence had already given Ella enough reasons to be upset.

Shana walked to the playground. It was always so busy here, she'd have to wake up super duper early one day at like 4 o'clock and sneak out to go on EVERYTHING when it was totally completely empty. She nodded to herself secretly thinking her plan, hmm could need some work incase she got caught. She sat down on the floor and began to write in the grass invisibly.

Elisabeta wandered out to the jungle gym and took a seat on one of the swings and sighed she hated her life sometimes

With the jar containing his precious lightening bugs clutched to his chest, Blake kicked the sand on the ground as he propelled himself on the swing. The cool breeze caressed his face and he closed his blue eyes, inhaling the fresh air. It was such a nice, clam day. He was in a good mood and nothing could ruin it, not even....well, lets not go there. Humming a song under his breath, Blake shook the jar and smiled. It was evident by his expression that how much he adores nature, specifically bugs. Placing the jar carefully on the swing next to him, he stretched his hands wide and glanced around. The playground was fairly empty except a girl sitting idly by herself. At first he didn't recognize her but as the breeze swept her hair away from her face, his eyes popped out of their sockets. She was Shana. "HEY!" His voice pierced through the silence and he waved her to come over for the much needed apology.
