Uh Oh.

"Yeah it's been a great start to the year, but..." taking a breathe Patroclus got to the point, "I mean it must be hard to deal with the fact that Marie has a new guy on the go.....you two were pretty serious and it ended suddenly. I just want to see if you were OK with everything." Patroclus had been there at the Ball last year, when Marie and her new fella were sucking the faces off one another, and Carter had been there too. It was about time Patroclus spoke to either one of them to figure out what went down.

"So are you, OK?"

Rounding the corner she came to a sudden stop when she seen two very familiar Gryffindor students ahead of her. Patroclus and... Carter. Inching her way back around the corner she stood there spying waiting for Mia to catch up with her.

Her curiosity getting the better of her she peaked her head around the corner just in time to hear... 'Marie has a new guy on the go.' What the hell did Patroclus mean by that? James wasn't a guy on the go, he was her boyfriend whether certain Lions or She-Snakes wanted to admit it.

Pulling her head back around the corner she lent against the wall listening very carefully to what the boys were talking about. If Carter even said one bad thing about James she would.... well she didn't know yet what she would do but it probably wouldn't be pretty.

And where was Mia? How slow was that girl?

No freakin way.

She took her time, walking slowly down the corridor whistling softly as she did and as she approached the end, Mia noticed Marie standing at the corner. Now what was the point of running away from her when she was just going to wait for her anyway?

But it was the way the blond was standing that had Mia thinking that the girl wasn't waiting for her at all and that she was up to something. Sidling up to her friend, she leaned over and whispered in her ear. "What are you doing?"

"Why didn't you tell me?" She hissed at Marie. They were supposed to be friends. Hadn't the girl just dragged out all of Mia's secrets. But she couldn't seem to return the favor.

And Jimmy...

She had known the guy was a flirt and all but she had thought he was trying to stop all that nonsense since he got together with Marie. And to go after the girl's best friend.

That was just low.

Then she heard Patroclus. "Oh and his friend agreed with him that Destiny is cute. Not before he made sure to tell him that my boyfriend is a huge flirt in classes though." What the hell was going on in those classes she wasn't in with Jimmy? Was there more flirting going on other than what she had seen in the library?

"Oh and apparently, he says he's always been a one woman kind of guy... I guess I just wasn't that one woman for him." It seems as if Destiny is the one woman he wants. Even Patroclus thought so since he asked if Carter had told Marie this.

She just sat there wondering what was really going on with Destiny and Carter. Was her friend dating Carter all along behind her back? Oh she was so going to be having words with Destiny again.

And who was this friend?

Mia could see why the boys would think Destiny was cute because well...she was but she was not about to say that in front of Marie right now.

Now it might have been a little more helpful if Mia actually listened to everything that Marie was saying. If she had then she probably would have picked up that Marie was not talking about Jimmy at all. But all the brunette was hearing, was that Jimmy had dumped Marie for Destiny.

"You are the right girl." She told Marie quite seriously and with that whole Hufflepuff loyalty thing going, Mia spun on her heel and stomped away. "I'll catch up with you later. There is something I have to do." She called over her shoulder, while mentally beating Jimmy with...something.

The fourth year began to twist a strand of her long red hair around her index finger, trying to decide what she wanted to do. She wanted to find Aimee so they could carry on exploring but she had no idea where she'd gone. Sad times.

She looked up as a boy walked over to her, giving him a small smile she nodded. "Hey." She looked down to her feet and back up again at his question. "Um...Standing here ? What about you ?"

“Yeah, he is some Ravenclaw Sixth Year, I haven’t met him, but from what I have seen in class he seems to be a huge flirt,” Patroclus nodded. It was true; the boy was always smiling at other girls, which infuriated Patroclus, seeing as though the ‘Claw was meant to be with Marie.

“As long as she is happy…..”Patroclus trailed off.

Kay?

Patroclus wasn’t exactly sure who this girl was, but she had turned out to be quite the bump in the road. Her being around with Carter in the holidays between their Third and Fourth years that had set all his heart ache in motion –WHAT….Destiny?
“Yeah she is really cute” he nodded, instantly besotten.
Patroclus let his mind stray to thoughts of the She-Snake, the one what was so funny and yes really cute……wait. Why did Carter say that? Somewhere deep inside, a small flicker of heat prickled over Patroclus body.

Regaining control, Patroclus continued, “But did you ever tell Marie, it was only ever her?”

"You are." she nodded. And then he continued. "Mhmm. I can..see that." Now that they'd got the whole stating the obvious thing over and done with they could talk.

"Nice name." she smiled. "Im Harley. Nice to meet you."

Yay for other Fourth years. And he was a Ravvie, maybe he knew Aimee. "Im a fourth year too, but Slytherin." she said tilting her head downwards towards her robes instead of pointing. "So this your first year here ?"

She smiled as he said it was awesome, she wasn't gonna repeat the is it thing because that would get old. She nodded as he explainied that he's transferred from Merlin's although she didn't know where that was. "Oooh sounds like fun. I used to be homeschooled." Which was NOT fun, not fun at all. "Um..Where's Merlin's ? Is it nice there ?"

It was in his reply that Patroclus knew, Carter was kinda not over Marie. "I think she is aware, but I don't know if she has said anything. Which she should," he added. There was no way Marie would let herself get used like that, but however some say love is blind.

"Let me get this straight." Patroclus declare, trying to organise all the past event logically in his head, "You took the love potion, which made you become infatuated with Destiny. Marie was unaware of the potion, and was enraged by your rhyming professions of love for Destiny, and ended it?" Patroclus was still unsure how it had all fallen apart. "Or did you end it? When you were under the potions influence or after?"

Ay Ay Ay. The LionBoy's head was starting to hurt.

"But honestly....are you over her?"
