Elora was loving this idea of the Magical five and the trips to Sweetwater and Paris.The magical five sounds wonderful. I'd love to be a part of it." She smiled. Third year? Best year ever so far."These trips also sound wonderful! I've always wanted to go to America, so that would be an amazing trip! And Paris is lovely, so I'd love for you both to see it." Now Elora just had to find a friend to go to Sweetwater with her... her sister might be able to go...

Carter smiled and took a sip of his butterbeer. "I don't know what it is about this stuff... but I love it." he said happily. He grabbed his sandwich and began eating it. "Mmm... this is really good. I'm glad you showed up. Otherwise I'd be enjoying this on my own. And... well... it really wouldn't be as enjoyable as this."

"Well, I like your honesty " Rex told Mina. " Your face seems very pained" Rex said to Mina. " I am a friend and would like to help you" Rex explained to Mina.
" I am over you not seeing me at the hospital because you had been busy helping others" Rex said to Mina. Funny, Rex did not know what happened at Barry's party at Jason's castle but there is a reason behind mina leaving. "Did Rex make a mistake with Mina?

"Well it is settled for us" Rex told Kay. " Our summer will be great" Rex said to Kay. "Elora will be great and hopefully she will accpet" Rex told her.

"Well you are now part of "The New Magical Five" Rex told Elora. "Well, I know you will like SweetWater" Rex said to Elora. " The reason I asked you to bring a friend Elora is because I know you do not like being a third wheel" Rex explained to her.

"Fantastic! And I really don't mind being a third wheel." Elora smiled. Friends. This was going to be the best. The only friend she had ever had was her sister, before Elora was adopted into the family. Now she had Kay,Rex, and Aurora. Things were good."So Kay, are you excited about the upcoming Quidditch game?"

Mina laughed and sipped her butterbeer. She did like the butterbeer more here than at the Hog's Head. Maybe it was the atmosphere of the place. "Never thought, I'd like the stuff, but it's pretty good." she smiled. Taking her sandwich and ripping it in half, she dipped it into her soup. Very unladylike of her, but she liked it that way. Taking a bite, she smiled. Definitely reminded her of her summer with her cousin. "Mmmm...thanks again for the lunch and don't mention it. I was in the area and my tummy was telling me to come in." Taking another bite, she nodded and dabbed her napkin to her lips. "Well, you know me. I always aim to please, plus we wouldn't want you to have non-enjoyable experience would we?"

Mina smiled and felt a little more at ease. She didn't want to possible lose a friend over her own issues. "Thank you Rex, you really are a great friend and I do hope that I'm worthy of you as my friend." She needed to make amends but today wasn't the time for it. She would think of something else at another time.

Carter laughed. "No. That would be very bad." he said. He popped a piece of fruit in his mouth. "These are good too. Why have I never eaten here before?" he asked eating another piece of fruit.

Mmm... food.

It was almost as good as cheesecake across the street. Which reminded him... he and Ella needed to grab more cheesecake sometime. They both had plenty they needed to catch each other up on.

Which reminded him...

He fiddled with the pockets of his robes before finding his camera. He picked one up for himself over break.

He got up and crouched down next to her.

"Smile and say 'Happy Valentine's Day'!" he said before making a funny face and snapping a picture.

Mina smiled as she continued to eat. "We dontl want bad at all," she laughed as she reached for a piece of fruit and took a bite. "Mmmm...yeah this is good. I've only had the butterbeer, but maybe I should eat here more." She didn't realize how hungry she really was or was it the food was just that great.

Popping another piece of fruit in her mouth, she noticed Carter fiddle with his pockets. Seeing the camera, she quickly wiped her mouth. She didn't want to look a mess for a picture. Giggling, she leaned in and smiled brightly. "Happy Valentine's Day."

She so needed a copy of that picture to remind her of the day. Usually she wouldn't have been to happy to be out on the day, but she was with one of her best friends and that was probably what she needed. Her friends did seem to make her smile, even in time when she didn't want to.

"I'm so getting a copy of that, right?" she asked before popping another piece of fruit.

Carter laughed. "Of course. I'll make it poster sized for you. You can hang it on your wall. I'm sure you're family will love that." he joked. He re-took his seat and took another bite of his sandwich. Best Valentine's meal ever. "So you excited for the Ravenclaw/Hufflepuff match?" he asked.

Mina laughed. Her family would so love that. "I'll have to show it to them when I visit, but I'd probably end up hanging it in my room at Jade's place. She'd get a kick out of it for sure." she smiled. Of course, her cousin would also tease her about it but two could always play that game. Picking up her sandwich again, she continued to dunk and eat it. This really had to be the best Valentine's meal she'd had like ever. "Yeah, I really can't believe it going to happen like so soon. I'm a little nervous, but so excited too. " she beamed. The thought of her being suited up for the game excited her greatly, even if it was just her on the ground watching. One day, she would be up there playing. "I really hope we win. I don't know how I would take another lose, you know?" Losing was never fun, but losing to 'puff would not be acceptable at all to any 'claw.

"Well welcome to the " New Magic Five" Rex told Elora. " I am glad you are our friend" Rex said to Elora meaning Rex and Kay as friends. "Do you have apeson in mind for the "New Magical Five?" Rex asked Elora. How about your choice Kay?" Rex asked her.

" Ok, we are friends" Rex told Mina. " Hopefully friends forever" Rex said to Mina. Rex does feel like even though their freinds, their not as close as they used to be because she will not open up to him anymore.

"Yeah. I wonder how good Hufflepuff is this year." Carter said. They had lost to them in the championship game the previous year. "I know. Quidditch is so exciting. I only played half the match my first game, but it was worth it. I'm sure your team will do fine."

"Im glad that you want to be a part of the magical Five. We will Have great fun on holiday." Kay said. "Just think of all the stuff we'll see."

"Yes summer will be great. Where should we go first?" Kay asked Rex. "Now we have three. Just like the trio. Things will be great." She said think maybe three was good.

Thinking about the game made Kay a little upset. "I don't know if excited is the word for it. Scared would be a better one." Kay said looking at Rex and then Elora. "It will be my first game in front of everyone."

Kay thought about the Magical Five. "Maybe we should just keep it at three for now. I think that it would be more like the trio and when we get to know each other better, then we can had more." Kay said hoping the Rex and Elora would be ok with that.

"Don't be scared! I'm sure you're going to do great." Elora tried to cheer her up."Vacation will definitely be fun." Elora thouhgt about keeping it as a trio..."Agreed. A trio for right now would probably be our best bet.But I can't think of anyone else to add anyway."

"Well, knowing that you and Rex will be there will help." Kay said smiling taking a drink from her butterbeer. "As to the trio, well being part of that family, I think three is a good number for now." Kay said to Elora. She hoped that Rex would agree with them. "Rex?"

Happy Birthday to me. Happy Birthday to me. Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday. Happy Birthday to - oooh, Three Broomsticks!

Singing to himself in his head, Adam stopped as he neared the pub. He must've looked stupid, walking down the street carrying a single red daisy and a small box wrapped in red tissue paper. Shoving the box into his pocket, he gave up looking for Lorelai and walked into the Three Broomsticks.

"Hi, um... could I have a Firewhisky, please?" he said as he reached the counter. Who cared that he was being kept behind a year? It was his seventeenth birthday, and he wanted to try a Firewhisky!

Lorelai had offically given UP. She had had enough looking around for him, and had GIVEN UP. So much for not missing his birthday, oooor Valentines. How fandabbydozytastic. Yes, in her boredom and not very good finding skills, she had made a new language. Only a one worded language, as of now.

Finally deciding to stop off in The Three Broomsticks, Lorelai scrunched a bit of her hair in her hands, and looked around slightly. "Addddammmm?" She cooed, quietly. Only for a dog to hear. And Adam certainly didn't have dog hearing. Ceeertainly.

OHAI. Theeere he was. Like... she had summoned him or something. Yes, she HAD that power. Skipping up behind him, she slipped her arms around him, and grinned up at him. "Happy Valentines. You get me something?" Waaait, wasn't it someone's birthday?

Adam almost jumped as he felt arms around him. SOMEONE WAS ATTACKING HIM!! "Arrghhh!" he almost screamed, before hearing the very familliar voice and smiling to himself. He should'a guessed, really. Turning around, he offered her the flower with one hand and pushed his other hand deep into the pocket of his robes.

"Happy Valentines!" he grinned, pulling the little red-wrapped box from his pocket and offering that to her as well. "Hope you like it." His voice was quieter now, and he knew it was selfish but he kinda hoppe she hadn't forgotten it was his birthday aswell. But if she had, he deserved it, really.

"Well, The Magical Trio is good enough for me" Rex told Kay and Elora. Vacation will be great for us" Rex said to Kay. " I will pick London to go to first because I live in SweetWater" Rex explained to Kay and Elora. " You are going to do great at the match." Rex smiled at Kay

" See, I agree with "The Magical Trio" Rex told Elora. " Yes, where is your choice to go first?" Rex asked Elora. "Boy will Kay have a rooting section" Rex said to Elora.

"Sorry daydreaming about "The Magical Trio" Rex told Kay. " I agree wholehearteately with you both on the trio" Rex said to Kay and Elora." I can't wait for you to really work the bludger on RavenClaw" Rex explained to Kay. "Oops, sorry Elora" Rex apologized to her since she is a RavenClaw.

Elora chuckled."It's quite alright. I actually don't know anyone on the Ravenclaw quidditch team. I'm rooting for Kay and Hufflepuff anyway." She smiled. "I think we should visit SweetWater first."

"It's ok love. I think I do that more than you. I worry to much about everything. You, Friends, Family, and the game." Kay said smiling. "I daydream even in class when your not with me." She giggled.

Thinking about where they wanted to go to first, Kay giggled at Rex and Elora. "Why don't we start here in London and I can show you all around. We are already here and it will be fun." She said watching to see what they thought. "Then we can go to Paris and see the great places before we go to the start and see as much as we can." Kay hoped that this would be good for them.

Mina nodded as she listened. She was a bit nervous about the match and how her house would do. She still remembered the championship match from last term. "That makes two of us. They were good last year, but I have faith in my team. I mean, you say how great Tibi was." she smiled. She was a bit jealous of his quidditch skill but she was still learning, so she had no where to go up up in her skills. "Thanks for the vote of confidence, but you do know if my house wins, we have to play your team." She so wanted to win against Hufflepuff, but after that they would have to take on Gryffindor and she would be a little torn.

" O kSweetWater is your vote" Rex told Elora. "Well, I am glad you will be rooting for Kay and HufflePuff" Rex said to Elora.

"Well, that is a vote for London" Rex told Kay. "So you and Elora have to make me the tiebreaker, right?" Rex asked them. " Oh wait a minute, if you invite someone else Elora, I am off the hook " Rex laughed. " Kay, I know you care about mee and everyone else" Rex explained to her. "Whereever we decide to go, I will be ok with it" Rex said to Kay.

Lorelai laughed as he outbursted the almost scream, and she shook her head, digging her elbow into his ribs. "You're so embarrassing Adam." She quickly told him, her arms staying around him. For the time being.

But as soon as he pulled out that flower, her arms left him and she squealed, bouncing about. "Aaaaaaad!" Okay, so it was an overreaction, but she did overreact alot, with him. Alot, alot, alot. OHAI LITTLE BOX. Beaming at him, she took it from him, and tucked it into her bag, "I'll open it laaater. First off, I want to give you your birthday present." Oh yes. She had, remembered it.

Just hadn't brought anything. Hehe.

Sighing Kay shake her head. "I know I worry to much. I think I get it from my mum, and Harry. I just don't like to see people being hurt for no reason." She said looking around them. She really couldn't relax when she knew that people here at school were up to something. "Any where we go will be great so long as we are all together."

"Well, nothing wrong with worrying, it is how much you worry that troubles me" Rex explained to Kay."See, I knew you would make me the swing vote and the bad guy" Rex laughed, /rex kissed Kay on the cheek,
