After eating, sitting at the lake for a while and then a wonderful tour of the castle, Ara was more than thrilled about spending so much time with Finlay. He was such a wonderful person, no wonder he was a Prefect for Ravenclaw.

"Wow," she spoke with an interest to the floor. "It's like a real princess castle," which she should be up here and not in the dungeons, but then again, all this would go to her head far more than it should. "I have to say that was quite an impressive tour, yet, this floor seems pretty cool." And it was cool for obvious reasons. "Of course it is cool if you are up on this floor with your common room." She loved filling his head with wonderful egos about himself. She did it to herself every day and it was reassuring coming from others.

It had been a nice morning, a very nice morning. Although he was feeling hungry again now. And the great hall was really so far away now. Maybe he had some chocolate frogs in his common room, because he really did not feel like walking all the way down to the ground floor again. He was going to be so tired. He'd need a nap.

"Shame your in the dungeons then isn't it?" Because Ara was totally the princess....although Neptune was the princess too. So maybe there was two princesses? "Well...I do try to keep my touring skills as up to date as possible." Lie. He never gave people tours. Ara was a very lucky girl. "Well....it is very cool cause I'm up here." He agreed with a big grin. There she went feedin his ego again. It was very nice. He could get used to it. "You know Ara....you're a very special girl." He voiced that comment with a grin. Yeah. Very special.

Ara stopped walking to look at Finn with a questionable look. Usually when guys started out as 'you're a very special girl' it meant they just wanted to be friends. Yet why was she mad about that? That was surely a strange thought she had, hoping that the 'special girl' only meant something else and not friendship only.

"And I know that you are a very special guy," she said, keeping his same words going as she moved to step in front of him. She wanted to see if she could read him in any way, and saw a smile on his face. Yup! He meant it differently and not as just friends.

He was a special guy? Well he knew that already. Of course he was a special guy. He was Finlay Carmicheal, and he was epic. He smiled at her though, and squeezed her hand. Finn was feeling that temptation of wanting to kiss her again, and this time he really did want to do it. Because well. She was pretty, and he was an awesome kisser. Yeah. It would be epic.

"I know." He smirked at her, pulling her out of the middle of the corridor and more to the side, just incase anyone else came along. He glanced at her lips again. Could he? He really didn't want to intrude.

"Alex Greingoth, first year Hufflepuff," Alex introduced himself with a smile. He thought about asking this girl if she knew of Anna, but he knew that wasn't possible, since Anna had been away from Gryffindor quite a few years ago now. "Can I ask a question? How do you manage to make it ALL the way up here from the Great Hall without passing out?" he asked, unable to contain his puzzlement any longer. "I thought my lungs were going to give out climbing all those stairs!" he said with a chuckle.

True story.

"Nice to meet you, Alex." Sophia said, grinning. He seemed older than a first year. Maybe it was because she was about his height, because she was short. She giggled at his rather odd question, and she realized that she did walk those stairs everyday. It had just become second nature to her. "Well, it just takes getting used to." she said, honestly. "My first day here I felt like I was going to pass out, espically running around from class to class." she said, smiling. "But, it is tough for the first couple weeks, and I have asthma, which doesn't help at all." she said, laughing. "So, what class are you looking forward to most?" she asked.

Alex stood in the seventh floor corridor looking around him. He was nervous. One of the few times he had been nervous in his whole life. True story, a very true story. Was this totally wrong? Asking Ellie to meet him on the seventh floor? Yes probably. He should have just picked her up by the Ravenclaw Common Room but then again, he had no idea where that was and he just didn't have the time to get lost again.

He had tried to straighten out his hair a little but failed miserably. He should know by now that his hair had a life of its own. Always messy, always ruffled. Merlin. He ran a hand absently through his hair as he looked down the long corridor to spot a certain brunette. Ellie? El? *sniff* What if she wouldn't show up?! Suddenly he got extremely nervous, like really really nervous. What would he do then? Probably run back to the dungeons and never come out again. Or just let the squid eat him up or something. *wibble*

The Slytherin boy really hoped she would be there soon. One; he looked like a total loner fool standing there by himself, and two; he was just really looking forward to seeing her again. If she didn't show up soon he might just... leave. Bohoo...

Ellie stepped out of the Ravenclaw Common Room and looked around for her certain Slytherin boy. No sign of him yet. She looked down at her outfit and straightened her blouse. She was nervous. But whhyy? She had never been nervous like that before. She took a deep breath and smiled. I am going on a date with Alex Reed!

Turning the corner, she saw a figure at the end of the corridor, their back to Ellie. Was that him? Oh Merlin was it?! Yep, it was Alex. She could recognize that beautiful head of messy hair from a mile away. Her heart beat sped up. She came up with a brilliant idea. *shifttyyy* She tiptoed her way over to Alex trying to be as quite as possible. When she reached him, she covered his eyes with her hands. "Guess who?" She whispered.

Ara felt a tug of her hand as she was removed from the busy middle of the corridor and off to the side. A rush of emotions washed over her once they stopped and her eyes glanced towards Finn. He was staring at her, a look that he had only possessed before, though for a short time. She licked her lips, breathing as best as she could for the moment. Was he going to kiss her or did he just like staring at her lips? No need to speak and ruin the moment, she was just going to see where he was going from here and hopefully that was the same direction she was wanting to go.

Finlay smiled at her, not really noticing anyone else that was walking down the corridor, which was probably a bad idea considering that he was prefect. But Finn thought that Ara was the only important person that he could see right now. He pulled his eyes away from her lips, and looked into his eyes, with a smile. He really did want to kiss her, it really was far too tempting. Ara was just too pretty, and it had been a while since he'd kissed Fallon on the train. So....he stepped a bit closer, leaned in and kissed her. Scoree Finlay.

Ara's brain was working overtime, physically and mentally but once Finlay's lips touched hers, all thoughts, visions and motor functions came to a halt as she melted in Finn's arms. Her legs were mush and the only thing she did was place her arms around his neck, holding on to her very first REAL kiss she had ever had. She was not ready to let go and her thoughts were only of him and him alone.

Finlay smiled against her lips, tightening his arms around her waist. Yup. This was perfect. She was pretty, and he was just epically awesome. Although he wasn't too sure if it was a prefect thing to be snogging in the corridor, but he really did not care at all. Not yet anyway. But there did come a point when he actually needed to breath again, so reluctantly he pulled away from Ara. "Nice." Yup. It was very nice.

Eye's closed, puckered lips, tilted head and a dreamy look was the way Ara looked at the moment. SHE WAS JUST SNOGGED BY FINLAY!

Breathe...
...breathe...

....breatheeeeeeeeeeeeeee....

FINALLY, Ara began to move, though her only movement was a wide smile that crossed her lips. Her arms were still wrapped around Finn's neck as she was not planning to let go any time soon until she heard his voice, smiling more at what he said. "Veryyyy," she finally half opened her eyes to gaze like a love sick puppy at the boy that just kissed her. Wowwwww!

Finlay was tempted to laugh at her, as he saw the dreamy look on her face. Man....she really was so cute. Soo soo cute. Very nice. Yes. That was a good way of describing it. Finn hadn't felt that good a kiss in a long long time. Ara was definitely his type. Although now that he had kissed her, he really didn't want to let anyone kiss her. He was getting a little possessive. hehe. But was he ready for another girlfriend?

Yes. He already knew the answer to that question. "Ara..." He grinned at her. "Wanna be my girlfriend?"

Huh? He...he...OHMYMERLINANDHISBIGLEFTTOEFULLOFWHATEVER INTHEWORLD....

"Yes." Her eyes opened, her mouth formed the word as Ara was all gitty and giggly on the inside. SHE HAD A CUTE BOYFRIEND? EEEEEEEEEEEEKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK! "Yesyesyesyesyes," she spoke rather happily then smiled her best cute smile and pulled Finn in to kiss his cheek with a slip up of kissing his lips every now and then. She.Was.Happy.

Now. Finlay was really hoping that she wasn't going to reject him, because that was going to be rather embarrassing. But by the huge smile on her face, He had a feeling that being rejected wasn't going to be a problem at all. He grinned as he kissed his cheek. Well. This totally rocked. Soooo much. He had a cute girlfriend, and everything was totally awesome. His prefect badge was definitely a babe magnet, and it had totally worked out very good here. "Well...that is awesome."

Ohhhh! Now they could go around the school holding hands, being all cute and..."Man we make a cute couple," she blurted out with a smile on her face. "And I have a very cute boyfriend." Her eyebrows wiggled with happiness as her hand found it's way back to his. She was so ready to show him off yet she really didn't have anyone to show him off too, hmmmm.

Finlay laughed, swinging there hands a little. "Yeah. We do." Because they were obviously both epically cute. One of the best couples in the school. Obviously. He rolled his eyes, turning a little, so that he was resting against the wall. "You're gonna keep feeding my ego aren't you?" He grinned at her. Finlay really didn't mind at all if he wanted to feed his ego. It was already big enough, just thanks to how Vain he was, so it didn't really matter. Well....as long as he liked it.

"Why yes I am," Ara acknowledged as if it were nothing at all. "And I know you don't have a problem with it so..." She paused, sticking her tongue out playfully to Finn, then giggled. He really was cuteee just as she knew she was pretty. Two cute people....wowwww!

Kim was curious as normal and decided to walk around the corridor's till he reached the Seventh Floor one Kim body was now slowly draining of energy so Kim looked for a sit somewhere and sat down. He laid back in the bench that he found and started whistling.

Justin strolled down the lkong, dark corridor, guitar at hand and mind at ease. Thankfully, he was able to relax. No one to annoy him and no secrets to keep. And he'd finally got his girl. That was his top priority. Accidentally knocking a boy's foot as he walked past a bench, Justin immediately turned back to apologise to the boy. He too appeared to be very relaxed. His type of guy. "Sorry, I didn't notice you were there" he said. Well he didn't. But the boy was big enough to spot. So it made him suck even more. "I'm Justin by the way" he told the boy holding his free hand out to shake.

Kim took Justin's hand and said "Its cool no worries my name is Kim" Kim noticed to guitar and said "cool guitar" before slightly relaxing again trying to catch his breath.

Justin smiled. "Nice to meet you Kim" he replied taking a seat beside the slightly older boy. He didn't look much older, probably by a year tops. But he seemed like a nice enough boy to be friends with. And Justin needed friends. Looking down at his guitar, Justin smiled. "Thanks. Do you play?" he asked Kim.

"Its nice to meet you to" Kim moved over so that Justin had enough room to sit and when we was asked if he played Kim kindly smiled "No I don't play the guitar I prefer playing the piano or violin, I'm a classical music junkie."

Justin smiled at Kim, it appeared they were going to make friends easily. "Interesting" he replied. "I attempted to learn to play the piano when I was a child but it didn't work very well., I took to acoustic guitar too well" he giggled. He was obssessed by it.
