Kurumi wasn't really sure how to answer that question. Katie seemed happy enough...maybe there wasn't anything bothering her at the moment. Then again, she had been hearing rumors. "I'll listen to whatever it is you have to say," she smiled with her violet eyes.

Katie smiled, she breathed in, "This guy is in Ravenclaw and he is second year and I think I like him" Katie said as she started to blush.

Heather once again with her camera stumbled on to the courtyard, determined to take some pictures as her photgraphy practice. Maybe she could be Gryffindor's freshie photographer? it sounds cool. but to be one, she has to take a lot of pictures. pretty soon, she'll be taking pictures of everyone. that sounds fun and an easy way to meet new faces.

"the fountain's so pretty. i'll take one shot." heather said and apporached the fountain, but the one shot turned into atleast two or three as she went about admiring the fountain.

Lexi smiled as he called her Alexandra and confirmed that he wasn't lying. She smiled and blotted away little tears. "Finlay you make me so happy," she said with a giggle.

She winced slightly as he rubbed dirt away from her wound and then bandaged it magically. "I will try not to run away from you, but it is what I tend to do when stuff gets real... I would rather run from it than face it. Oh and I am a teenage girl, Finlay... I will get upset a lot," she grinned as she lightly touched her throbbing cheek. Meh. It was going to be yucky. She would have to put some bruise past on it as soon as she got back to the common room. She took a seat behind him and shook her head slightly. "Sometimes you feel too good to ber true... Like I am living someone else's life for a little while," she said quietly as she laced her fingers through his carefully.

Kurumi wasn't sure if she should smile or not. "What is he like?"

"He is very nice and so sweet" Katie said, the image of him popped into her head.

Finn smiled at her, figuring out that she believed him. That made him feel a lot better, although he was still feeling annoyed at himself. If he'd just said it before she wouldn't have fallen over, and they would be having this conversation at all. "Isn't that what I'm meant to do?" He smirked at her, before laughing.

She was still wincing as he touched her hands, and he lifted it gently to his lips, kissing her bandaged palm gently. He knew that her hands would get better soon, unitl then he would just need to be a bit more gentle with her. "Well don't run away, and we can talk about the things that make you want to run away." He was pretty sure than running away wasn't going to make their problems go away, it would be better for them to talk things through. He watched her touch her cheek. "Do you want me to kiss it better?" He asked with a little smirk. Yeah. That was a bit of jerky thing to say oh well.
Awww. That was cute. He shuffled a little closer to her, not wanting to pull her hand just incase he hurt her. "You're only living you're life Lexi....and I am all yours forever."

Lexi looked at him and shrugged. "I am not sure what a proper boyfriend is supposed to do really. Or a proper friend for that matter. Well, I have proper friends but I am not sure that I have been one to anyone other than Katy," she said in a moment of raw honesty. Meh. Why was he making her be so honest with herself? She was not liking it. One bit.

Lexi could have melted into a puddle right then as he kissed her palms and told her not to run away. Oh if it were that easy. "I will try my hardest, love. I will TRY. I am just so used to it. And you can kiss my cheek better if you wish," she said with a slight grin. She knew he meant to be a smart mouth, but she thought it was cute.

Lexi snuggled into him and sighed. "Forever,eh? That sounds nice. You promise you won't leave me too?" she said in a moment of sheer vulnerability this time. Gah what was this boy doing to her.

Mann. She was so cute. He smiled at her, squeezing her sore hand gently. "We can find out how to be the best couple together." He commented, resting his head against her shoulder in that cute way. "You are a proper friend baby. To me at least." They were very good freinds, he loved her very dearly.

"Well i will run after you if you ever try to run from me." He assured her with a little grin, as he leaned in brushing his lips against her cheek, ever so gently, because he didn't want to hurt her. "Doe's that feel better?" He laughed a little, pulling back so that he could smile at her. His kisses were pretty fantastic, so he was sure it would make her feel a little better even if it didn't make her cheek any better.

What she was saying made her seem really vulnerable, and he snuggled her, resting against her. He understood that she probably didn't like being this vulnerable. "I'm never going to leave you Lexi. Even if you want me too." He would fight for her, he really would.

Lexi smiled slightly at his words. He really was incredible. She began to stroke his hair as he rested his head on her shoulder. "Well I am glad to have done something right with someone," she said almost bitterly. She and Dylan weren't even getting on well these days.

She liked that Finn seemed willing to run after her and bring her back. She would try not to run anymore though. She was making a mental note of it right then and there. As he kissed her cheek she smiled wider still. "Yeah that is much better, Finn."

She had never had anyone aside from Sabel say they wouldn't give up on her.. but Sabel had. Meh. She had to believe that Finn was different. If for no other reason Finn loved her.

Lexi running her fingers through his hair really reminded him of Savannah, and that was not a nice thought. But he loved Lexi, and this was nice. "You have done everything right with me Lex." She had managed to get him to fall for her, and not want anyone else. He was a serial flirt, so she definetly had done something right.

This felt comfortable, just resting against her. He closed his eyes, breathing in her scent. She was beautiful, and all his. He really hoped that he was going to do nothing wrong, because he didn't want to ruin this at all. He really had not been happier in his life. "Good..." He looked up at her, from his spot on her shoulder. They really were perfect.

Oh yeah. He had been meaning to tell her something. "Mia isn't coming to mine for christmas anymore." He commented quietly. Maybe they could go see her birth family for the holidays? If she wanted too.

The thought made Lexi's heart swell. She had FINALLY done something right. Someone loved her for HER, not loathed her for what they thought she should be. That made all of the difference in the world to her. She leant down and lightly brushed her lips across his forehead and sighed.

"Oh she isn't? Hmmmm. How do you feel about Christmas in Paris? Let's take a holiday together. I want to get away from the craziness and just... be with you," she said quietly hoping he wouldn't scoff at the idea. She wanted nothing more than to be with Finlay far away from the confines of Hogwarts where all of the negativity lie.

Finn watched her as she sighed. That was a happy sigh, he'd made her happy. That was important to him. He'd had enough of hurting girls and making them cry. He just wanted to make Lexi happy now. She'd had enough hurt in her life, it wasn't going to be fair of him to hurt her anymore, so he would strive to not hurt her ever again.

He smiled at what she said. A holiday....just the two of them. That would be perfect. "That sounds wonderful." He'd never been to Paris over christmas. It would really be wonderful. He squeezed her hands gently. "I would like that a lot." He really would, and they'd be able to get to know each other, without anyone getting in the way.

Lexi's smiled widened immensely when he agreed to the holiday. "Oh Dylan will be miffed about this and I think maybe his mum and dad might not like it too much, but I don't care much. I need a break from all of this," she said with a dramatic sigh. How COULD a 14 year old girl need a break? Heh.

"What would you like to do now, love? Anything in particular?" she said as she leaned into him a little more. It was cold after all. Hehe.

Finn laughed at what she was saying, and he grinned at her. "My parents will want to meet you first." He commented with a small smile. "But I know they'll love you so it'll be no problem." It wasn't like that stopped him doing anything anyway, so that was all good. "Mention it to you're parents though....I dont want them to come hunt me down." Because that would be tragic.

He kissed the top of her head as she leaned into him. "umm..." He didn't really know. Get out of the cold? "Whatever you want darling." But preferably in the warm please.

Ooooh she would meet the parents. Interesting. "I suppose I will need to introduce you to the Denver's too. Although I might just have Dyl lie for me and say we are going on holiday to visit Gold in France... that might be best. I am the only girl... and new to the family. They do tend to baby me a bit," she said with a slight grimace.

"Okay well we can go inside... Maybe go lounge around in the library again? That was fun," she said with a little smile. She really did need to get some reading done. Doubtful that would happen though. Teehee.

Finn had figured that he would have to meet her parents. He hoped that they would like him, because he did tend to have the bad boy look, but he really did care for Lexi. "I'll have to prove to them that I am really good for their beautiful girl." He smirked at her. Oh he knew that he was good for her, because well she did want to be with him so that was something right?

Mmm. The library. He liked the library. "That sounds perfect." He nodded, and he stood up, offering his hand out to her, so that she could take it.

Smiling Lexi blushed a little when he called her beautiful. "If you keep this up I will be red in the face for the rest of my life!" she said playfully. "You are good enough for me, babe. YOu are better than I could have ever wished for in a boyfriend." Twas the truth, yo.

She took his hand happily and let him lead the way to the library. Hehehe.

Anna skipped into the courtyard carrying a skip rope. She started jumping. "One, two three, four, fi-OWWW! Anna tripped on the rope and twisted her ankle. she hobbled down the path and rolled down the hill. It was starting to look purple now. Anna moaned in pain and limped twowards the Hospital Wing

Ever strolled around casually into the Courtyard, and with nothing better to do, sat down under a nice, shady tree and began sketching in her notebook. Suddenly, she heard someone cry out in pain. Her eyes scanned the scene quickly, and she sprang up and ran over to the girl. "Are you alright?!" She asked, panicking.

"Here, let me help you to the Hospital Wing." She offered.

Emma returned the hug back to Sel. She nodded slowly and started to say what David said. "So David asked me to meet him at the Lake and when I got there I sat next to him. Then he turned around and told me, word for word: 'Emma. We have been friends for a long time and I really like you, but I don't want to ruin our friendship by starting a relationship. I hope you understand..'." she explained. "This made me confused and then.. I said back to him: 'Is this why you asked me here? Why are you doing this to me?'. I was really angry and then I noticed that I sounded like my brother when I said this so then I immeadiatly apologized for saying that." She paused and the wind brushed her long hair.

She then continued with her long story. "Then he started to apologize. 'Emma- Wait. No, why are you sorry! I shouldn't have asked you here! It's just.' Then he sighed and told me in an angry voice. 'You probably wouldn't understand anyway.' I then told him that I wouldn't understand and not wanting to hang around with him, I told him 'See you Later and left. And that's when I came here and found you.." she explained. She felt like she had done something wrong..

"Sel?" she asked, looking up at her friend.. desperately hoping that she didn't bore her to death with the story.

Selena listened carefully then nodded every once in a while, allowing Emma to finish talking before she told her what she though. Selena continued to nod, making small mutterings to herself before Emma finally stopped. Long story made short: they were both confusing themselves.

"Alright, so David likes you but he says he doesn't want to start a relationship with you because you two are friends," she started. Stupid guy he was. "What he doesn't know is that he just made things between you guys awkward without starting a relationship and it will make it fall apart," Selena said. Because everyone knew you didn't confess to your friends how much you loved them unless you planned on starting a relationship with them. That was just stupid. "Well, you're both kinda wrong," she added.

Selena thought about it a little bit more. "What I think is that the two of you guys need to work things out, you need to tell him how you feel and he needs to pull his head out of the gutter, the two of you need therapy or something," she huffed. Complicated people. But drama!! Dramaaaa~ "To make long stories short, you guys need to talk it over, not run away from each other, clarify things, tell him how you feel, he has to tell you how he feels and you two need to work up enough courage to do it!" she said. And they needed therapy, making things more complicated and the whatnot.

"My older brother sent them to me. He is always playing tricks and teasing me since I don't know much about the wizarding world," she said as she popped one in her mouth. She had to admit, breathing fire was kind of fun. "He sent me some canary creams too. Heather and I ate them and...well...we looked like this," she said as she took her pink Japanese cellphone out of her robe's pocket and opened up the canary version of her and Heather.

Edmond was confused. If her brothers were wizards, then why didn't she know about magic. "Kurumi," he said as fire came out of his mouth, "Your brothers never told you about magic?" he was curious about that. Wouldn't it be hard to hide you're a wizard? He then saw, what appeared to be a muggle contraption, that Kurumi took out and Ed chuckled at the picture. He's seen them in books before, well the ones that his father hasn't burned yet. "Is that fellyphone?" was that how you said it? Ed did not know.

Now it was her turn to laugh. She forgot how people from the wizarding world knew just about as much about the muggle world as she did their's. "I think you mean telephone...but this is a special phone called a cellphone. You can get signal anywhere," she explained. Edmond probably didn't know what that meant though...Had she just opened up a can of worms? "My 3 brothers and I had no idea about our magical background. Remember, my mother hates magic...so she insisted that it be kept a secret until our owls came from Hogwarts. Even then, my brothers were not allowed to tell me they were wizards." She hoped Edmond was following...it was a complicated back story to be sure.
