"thats good i like the sound of the guitar sometimes better the piano" He laughed slightly "to me the piano sometimes sounds depressing but the guitar sounds more lively and feels one with more energy." Kim stared at the ground he hoped he didn't sound weird.

Justin nodded in agreement. "Exactly. But I guess it depends on your style of music as to what instrument you play. Guitar is something that's caught my attention ever since I learnt to talk" he explained. He and Kim appeared to have hit it off quite well. They had found something in common. Music. And music made for some great conversation.

Kim thought Justin was pretty cool he was happy to think they might become friends "So Justin I want to hear you play. Is that okay?"

Justin smiled and nodded. "Sure" he replied. Taking his guitar pick from out of his pocket and picking his guitar up from on the floor, Justin decided on what song to play in his mind. It wasn't a well known song. Nor had it ever been heard by anyone. It was a song he'd written himself. Justin began strumming on the strings, the sound coming out perfectly. Well he had played that song about 100 times so it should've been pretty good.

Finishing the song, Justin looked up at Kim with a hopeful look on his features. "What do you think?" he asked.

While Justin played Kim's mind went at ease. Once Justin finished Kim was a little sad he really liked it " Well I loved it, it was really good. Your very talented may I ask the name of the song?"

Justin smiled. "Thanks" he replied. He hadn't really thought of a name for the song. But he soon would think of a name. It seemed rather a mellow song so he hoped that would help him come up with a name for the song. "I haven't really got a name for it yet, but it's based on some real life stuff so I guess that makes it harder for me to come up with a name for it" he explained.

"I see you got a interesting point there and your welcome" Kim thought maybe he should play his violin for Justin "Would you like to play you a song on my violin Justin to return the favor of you playing me a song."

Justin smiled. "I guess so. I mean, it depends on the person as to how difficult they find it to name a song or anything in that sense" he replied. Then he offered to play his violin. That sounding like a good idea. "Sounds good to me" he replied. Although Kim didn't have to if he didn't want to, but he seemed to want to and Justin was happy to listen to him play.

Kim slowly rose he took out his wand and pointed it outward saying "accio.. my violin" A few seconds later his violin floated up to him he loved his violin so much he place it up to his neck and took the bow and started to play the song Kim hoped to impress Justin with his music. He kept is tempo in line with his breathing so that he didn't mess up.

Justin listened to Kim play his song. His jaw hit the ground. W.O.W! "How do explain how amazing that was without using the word amazing? Or I can just say that was absolutely immaculate. Wow!" he said. Even he'd never be able to play any instrument like that.

Kim couldnt help but giggle "thank you, tho its not my best but I am happy you liked it" Kim gave a kind smile to Justin and sat back down and relaxed "May I ask what year you are Justin I am quite curious"

Justin smiled. "You're welcome" he praised. It really was amazing. "I'm in fifth year. What about you?" he replied. He too was curious. Kim appeared to be slightly older than him and that made him all the more curious.

"Fifth year I thought you were the same year as me I'm a Sixth Year" Kim lightly stated with a smile at Justin.

Perhaps she wouldn't come? Alex frowned slightly looking down the corridor. She wasn't there! He might just go sulk in the Common Room and never set his foot outside it again, or go ask the squid in the lake if it wanted some company because he would never talk to anyone again. EVER! He liked being dramatic, and Ellie rejecting him definitely made him overdramatic. Just when he was about to slump his shoulders and return to the Common Room he heard and felt a whisper near his ear. It was Ellie! He knew it from the hands over his eyes and from the whisper. It was definitely Ellie. "Hm I don't know..." he mused. "My date with Emma isn't until tomorrow night so this must be Ellie?" he said feeling a wicked smirk tug at the corner of his lips before he removed her hands and spun around.

IT WAS ELLIE!

Alright so he already knew that but still a wave of joy shot through his body. She was there! Looking as pretty as always, of course.

Cue nervousness.

Her evil smirk faded, though she knew he was kidding about the date with Emma. Wait, he was kidding right..? Ellie put on her best I'm-mad-at-you face and punched him lightly in the back. "You little punk." She said glaring at the back of his head.

When he turned around their eyes locked and Ellie felt a jolt of electricity run through her heart. Her I'm-mad-at-you face soon disappeared and turned into a happy smile. "Hey you." She said. Profound.

Finlay laughed, pulling her closer to his side, and wrapping his arm around her shoulders. "Oh... right. No problems at all." He would be lying if he denied that he hated having his ego fed. He loved it, hence why he made sure it was adequately fed every single day. Finlay was just epically vain like that, but everyone loved him for it. Of course they did. He smiled at her. "Shall we go somewhere else now?" Because he was kind of bored of standing on this corridor now.

Justin shrugged. "So I look older than I am? Is that a good thing?" he inquired. He was very questioning today. It was wierd. He'd never been so inquisitive before but he felt it was a good thing. Asking questions got answers and answers meant understanding.

Alex chuckled, he was noo puunk. Alright perhaps just a very good looking punk then. She smiiiled. Oh man, now he had to smile back. As long as he didn't get a dreamy face and you know drooled a little puddle by his feet he would be okay.

"Hey you." he smiled. Suddenly he got extremely nervous, he was never nervous! He had no idea what to do, suddenly his planning of the date looked very silly. Ugh, he needed a better plan! S.O.S Maydaaay! But he couldn't blow it off. He wanted a shot with her. Internal sigh.

"Um, so how are you? How's... school?" Hold on, hold on. He asked her about school?! They were on a date and he asked her to talk about the most boring subject of all times; School. Great. Kill him, kill him now.

It looked like Alex was having an internal fit, but Ellie just smiled at him. It was cute. Then he asked her about... School? Hmm. Not exactly what she had in mind as a date opener, but she laughed lightly. She looked down at her hands and twirled her snake ring. "Well uh... I've already got one Professor to hate me." One down, six to go. "But other than that it's great." She chuckled. She looked back up at Alex. "And you?" She smiled again.

"Ahh, I see. Personally I'm glad I'm in the basement," Alex said with a small chuckle. Although, the thought of living in the basement had really scared him at first. Cause it was in a BASEMENT. Basements were always scary and didn't have any windows! But really, it wasn't that bad. It was only like...a half basement. And the kitchens were nearby! YUM!

"Umm, I'm not quite sure. Pretty much all of them," he said with a smile. "I've already been to potions...that one was HARD," he added. So being a healer was probably out of the question.

Faacepalm!

Alex chuckled nervously and scratched his neck, she had already gotten one teacher to hate her and he was bringing that up. What a way to ruin the mood, Reed. Way to go. "Oh yeah right, the uh, Charms professor." He couldn't pronounce his name, teheh. But don't tell the prof that. "Oh you know, school is school." he cringed slightly with a playful grin.

Honestly, Alex didn't want to leave the corridor. Because leaving the corridor meant they had to start the official date and Ellie would see what he had planned for them... She would laugh at his silliness and he would die. Not a very promisin evening at all. Oh well, it was all or nothing.

So here goes nothing.

Loosing up some he smiled warmly and let his arm drop around her shoulders casually, like it was the most natural thing in the world. Even though their contact gave him shivers. "So how have you been?" he asked her looking down at her with a small smile as he started to walk down the corridor.

That was also a lame question. It hadn't even been long since they'd met each other. Couldn't Ellie see how lame he was? He really hoped not.

Ellie frowned at the memory. "Yep. Descoteaux isn't so fond of me." She said with a shrug. Then again, she wasn't having the best of days that day. Ellie nodded awkwardly. "Heh, yeah. School..."

Does someone have an "idiot" stamp? Please dip it in permanent ink and smack it on Ellie's forhead. She wondered what Alex had planned for their date and hoped it wouldn't be as awkward as she just made it.

She felt Alex drape his arm around his shoulders and she blushed slightly. She comfortably wrapped her arm around his waist as they began walking down the corridor. It just felt right to her. At that moment, Ellie loved arms. Arms were meant to wrap around other people. And that's what they were doing. She smiled up at Alex. "Well to be honest, today kinda sucked. But I'm good now that I'm here with you." She said, telling the truth. She wouldn't have it any other way.

Alex smiled to himself but didn't pull away like he felt the urge to. He desperately needed to dance a happy dance. Like right now. She said she was good because she was with him.

He needed to daance!

Maybe just some movements with his hips would do the trick. He moved his hips a little but that made him walk like a girly girl, so he stopped hoping Ellie hadn't noticed.

"Then I'm good too for making you feel good." he chuckled low. Whyyy did today suck? He wanted to ask her, should he ask her? Would she think he was caring or would she think he was ruining the mood by bringing up something that sucked? Oh man, decisions, decisions. "Then we have to make it less suck-ish." he winked. He'd do his best.

"Well I guess it could be, I hope i didn't mean to insult you" Kim seemed to rabble on and on making no sense he felt as if he insulted Justin and he was really nervous he didn't mean to.

She felt Alex's hip bump against hers a couple times. Was it on purpose? He was smiling... "What was that?" She asked, laughing. She bumped his hip back with hers.

She wasn't sure if he would ask why her day sucked. She didn't mind either way, if he did or didn't. She liked talking to him about anything. But he didn't ask. "Less suck-ish. Sounds like a good idea." She said with a smile. "So, Mr. Reed. What do you have planned for us today?" She asked with an excited smile.
