Maybelle skipped in her outfit. She saw Isobel...clinging to Simon, uhhh awkward...ANYWAYS

She sat down next to Isobel, who was acting a little over dramatic. She took a sip of water when she heard Simon say he was quitting. She did a probably hilarious spit take and looked at him. "You're QUITTING Quidditch?!" She was surprised, that was kind of suckish.

Penny smiled as Ness joined them...."well, it kinda looks like my family are staying home this year... my dad just hurt his back pretty bad playing Quidditch with my uncles last week.."..then adding sadly "We were supposed to go to Egypt for a month"...

"What about you Ness, any plans made yet?"



Penny heard her name mentioned, she looked around and saw Isobel talking with Simon..giving Isobel a wave, she said.."Hey cappy, you enjoying the feast?".

Looking at Simon, Penny immediately felt guilty... she still hadn't apologised to him yet... Maybe she should that now - hopefully it would cheer him up a little.




Penny walked over to Simon, very slowly - she wasn't exactly sure how to go about this...she wasn't used to being wrong !

Approaching Simon, she took a deep breath, "Uhm... Simon, I wonder if I could talk to you for a minute..please"..

Smiling at Isobel, not wanting to be rude - she hoped Isobel would understand that she, Penny, needed to apologise for the rudeness on her team-mate..

Penny blamed herself for the house team losing the final so spectacularly - if she and Simon had been on better terms, they might have won the cup !

"Uhm, I wanted to apologise for being so rude to you a few weeks ago.. I was wrong to accuse you of wilfully losing house points - and congrats on earning the 201pts back

Siobian sat down quietly and opened her book, Bella should be here soon... She thought to herself, Or if I'm lucky maybe I'll run into Michael and all them, I haven't seen them all year. Siobian sighed, Just someone get here soon.

Bella walk in the room and saw Siobian sitting. She walk over and set next to her. "Hey"

Siobian looked up and smiled, "Hi," Siobian closed her book "So, do you remember the spell or do I have to show you again?" She took a sip of water, "I can show you again, it's no problem."

Cove decided to be a surf goddess assassin and sneak up on Isobel......again! "Hey Isobel!" She exclaimed after coming up behind her quietly. Cove saw she was clinging to Simon. "What's up?" She asked taking an empty seat.

Isobel shrieked when she heard someone behind her. She quickly put her hands over her mouth, letting go of Simon in the process. Then she saw that it was just the assassin. "Oh hiii Cove," she said with a smile.

Was the 'what's up' directed to her? She guessed it was, who else would it be directed to? "Simon is quitting," she said dramatically. She folded her arms on the table and laid her head down on them, pretending to weep emotionally.

Simon looked at Maybelle and sighed, what was the big problem with him quitting Quidditch, he had let the team down this term, they had come second and Simon didn't like that, for the last two terms they had come second and this time it was his fault. "Yes, I'm quitting Quidditch." Simon smiled, the next person to ask him that well he'd screem.

Simon saw Penny and smiled. "No you was right, I should appologise to you for the way I spoke, I didn't mean to say some of the things I did." Simon smiled, he hadn't really said anything back but he had promised Prefect Treyen that he would appologise and that is what he was doing now.

Simon realised something was bothering Penny. "Are you alright?" Simon asked, he was hoping she wasn't blaiming herself for the Quidditch lose, it was his fault and only his fault and that is why he just had to quit, he also knew he had to appologise to Professor Vindictus about what he did at the start of the year.

Simon suddenly realised that Isobel was pretending to weep, well he would play along with it even though he knew she wasn't weeping. "Come on Isobel it isn't that bad." He laughed as he poked her in the side. "You'll find someone a lot better than me." That was true, he had no idea how he had gotten on the team this term.

Cove let out a loud laugh. "This just isn't gonna get old! We're stuck with each other for three more years, it's gonna continue." Cove said. "Quitting? Why?" She somewhat directed it to the boy, but she didn't really know him. Just his name. "Aww, Isobel it's okay." Cove knew the girl was faking, but still,

"Can you show again. I kinda forgot" Bella got up and get a drink"Be right back" then she came back and sat down and waiting for Siobian show her the spell "I am back"

Maybelle looked straight at Simon. "Why?? You were a really great chaser!" She threw her hands up in the air sometimes saying ay-yo my name is Draco in frustration. How DARE he quit?! She heard rumors that Treyen was quitting too, without them especially Treyen they would lose for sure! "Don't quit! I will drag you to all the practices and the tryouts and games if I have to!" She said, ugh, she needed a cupcake

Caroline laughed but stopped when she seen a clearly upset Kita beside her. This wasn't right lately it had been her that was the upset one. Not Kita. She hugged her best friend back. She laughed hoping to put Kita in a good mood. "My best friend of course. " She throw her hands up like a confused little kid would. What other reason would she be there?

But seriously. There was something weird going on with her best friend right now and she needed to know what it was so she could help her. Kita had helped her with a lot while she was going through what she was going throught. She was greatful to have Kita as a best friend through it. So now it maybe the perfect time to return the favor. "Kita? What's wrong?" She asked curiously.

Isobel stopped pretending because she was getting tired. "I need some water," she announced. Isobel reached for the glass and peered inside it. Dang it; it was empty. Isobel frowned and set it back on the table before turning back to Simon, Cove, and Maybelle.

She hugged Simon again. "No we will not." Well, they might, but that wasn't her point. "You are too awesome to be replaced." True story. At least they still had Treyen, without him they would lose for sure.

Isobel laughed at Cove, yes the girl definitely enjoyed scaring her. Which only proved her point that Cove was a surfing assassin. "Oh!" She realized something. "Cove this is Simon, Simon this is Cove. Cove that's Maybelle, Maybelle this is Cove." She pointed to Simon, and then to Maybelle when she said their names.

Simon looked at Maybelle, he was trying to keep from breaking into tears it was like he was being interigated. "I'm quitting because I've decided it's time to concentrate on my education." Simon looked at her and wanted to say and who has ever heard of a Prince being on the Quidditch Team but he decided against that there was too many people here.

Simon laughed at the next bit. "I doubt you could do that." He smiled. "I'll be too busy gaining points and studying for my OWL's they are very important and so I really need to study as much as I can." He wanted to get as many OWL's as he could and to do that he would need to spend time studying.

Simon had heard a rumour Treyen was quitting too but he wasn't going to tell Isobel now it wouldn't be fair to drop another bombshell on her now after he had told her he was quitting. "I ain't too awesome to replace, I'm rubbish, it's my fault we came second and I'll never live it down, I'm suprised your not mad at me for my performence."

Simon then looked at Cove and smiled. "I'm Simon Leonarder De Simpson The Third." He said, he kept forgetting how long his name was. "You can call me Simon though." He said as he looked back at Isobel he wasn't saying for the third time why he was quitting, that would get boring quite soon.

Maybelle shook her head. "I just finished my fifth year and I was in Quidditch! You are a disgrace." She said, this was killing her good mood. Thanks Simon She wished she didn't have to leave. Maybelle perked up at her thought. "Hey Isobel." She turned to her. "Are we going to do something like last summer?" She asked, that would be awesome! Especially because she would spend another summer with Jake.

FACTS? Ugh. Treyen didn't want to listen to any facts. So, he just closed his eyes and listened as Neptune summed up the whole problem. THAT made it sound even worse than it was, because he'd apologized...and no good came out of that.

He almost didn't feel Neptune's hand on his back until she started to tap her fingers against him. He was NO table, okay? At least Arya was not leaning on him too.

Treyen caught that. Experience. She'd been on the other side. "Neptune...," he said, as his arm dropped to the side so he could see her better, "...would he have gotten forgiveness on you behalf if he'd apologized to you?" Not that it was related, Ellie was different from Neptune in so many ways. Starting by the hair. But now he was just curious because Neptune never finished that part of the sentence.

Then that odd hug managed to make him want to sit straight again, but instead of looking to Neptune, he looked sideways...to Arya. "I don't even know if she wants to talk to me," she never said he couldn't. And he wanted to respect her wishes, no?



Someone was happy.

He didn't like it. "Mmhmm," yeah, that was his WHOLE answer. Truth be told, he was looking forward to summer, because then his distractions will become a constant in his life and he'll try to keep his mind away from any thought related to Ellie.

He probably won't succeed, but at least he ought to try.



OH, NO.

Treyen breathed in and out as he saw the one person who's name he hasn't utter in weeks. Like, after the kiss. The stupid kiss that ruined his life. He was hoping she wouldn't bring it up, though, not when both Neptune and Arya were aware of what had happened.

And she was carrying a box.

He, of course, pretended he wasn't seeing her, and kind of expected her to give that box to someone else. Really, he didn't want to see her. But she was coming to him, because he felt the tapping and had no other choice but to turn his head to look at her.

Oh! Good thing she said 'Before you say anything' because he was going to say 'What now, Kurumi?' but he didn't. So, he just listened. He looked rather tired too. Exhausted, actually. OWLs and losing a Championship game, plus his girl, well, had managed to tire him quite a bit.

The match. The match. He hated that match. His last Quidditch game ever, no? Apparently.

There was a small smile on his face after she placed the box on the table. If he had to bet, he'd bet those were cupcakes. But before he could say thank you, he noticed that her hair was slowly changing colors...didn't she say she got better at controlling her abilities? That was super strange.

Wait, wait, seeing each other? "Yeah, Kurumi, I don't think we'll be seeing each other this summer," not that they ever did. But he should say that.

"Thanks," he said, nodding to the box, "But I think you better head back to your table and enjoy the feast," that was the nicest way possible he could say 'Please, go away' without hurting her, right?

"Simon, that is ridiculous." Isobel scoffed. How could he possible deduce that it was his fault they had lost. It was no ones fault, Slytherin was just good. They had to be good to beat them.

"Yeah, see, Maybelle could do it." She knew there was no way she could change his mind, but she would not give up trying. She turned to Maybelle. "Oooh yeah, that would be fun." She smiled. "Do you want to come to France? I'm not sure who else is coming." Which meant, "Be warned, Maybelle, Jake might not be there." "Cove, would you want to come to France for a few days?"

SPOILER!!: THE GANG. I'm combining.

She gave Neptune a look. Her worry about the Claw who'd only just seemingly stopped calling her Spitty five seconds ago? Absolute nonsense.

Or maybe just nonsense. Hm.

She listened to Treyen, head resting on her arm that lay across the table. It was complicated, it seemed so by what he was saying, but what could she say? She'd never been through what he's going through right now. And the few incidents she did have with Sabel weren't relevant at all to this.

It really was all up to Neptune, Merlin help them all.

Sulking more at the expression he made when responding to her question, she bit her bottom lip and looked over at Ellie again. "I know, it just..." Yeah, she was gonna leave this to Neptune.

Who seemed to know something about this. For once she was glad to have the girl around.

"Maybe we can help you fix this...

Of course she had someone very special waiting at home for her so that's why she was so happy. Just one more term and she got to be with him all the time.

As she approached the Hufflepuff table she was surprised to see that there weren't that many people there. She gave the firstie a bright smile as she passed. A small wave to the Quidditch Captain and then she stopped right beside Miss Neptune Bott.

"Hey Arya. Trey. Looking forward to the summer holidays?" Mia was. She was going on a safari with Destiny and then off to Russia to be with Nik. She turned towards the Ravenclaw and smiled a little. "I have something for you Neptune."

Neptune cast an anxious glance at Arya. One, were they... getting along..? ISH? And two, Trey was broken and Neptune couldn't fix that. So... how 'bout them Badgers?

Luckily (?) Mia came along to keep Neptune from pondering over Spitty too much. They hadn't really spoken much since that weird, horrible knitting lesson. The one Neptune never wanted to speak of again. She was a little SUSPICIOUS of this ... supposed gift. "Oh...? It's not my birthday..." But Neptune DID like presents! She held her hands out for a GIFT! When they wanted to be, Hufflepuffs were so nice. The yellow-clad always made her miss Jake.

But back to the main problem: A broken hearted badger boy! She SIGHED at his question, "He never would have apologized, so it's ... it's not applicable. And he sure didn't sit at a feast and pine and feel sorry." Neptune shrugged as nonchalantly as possible, but this conversation had turned to weird places. Her own fault, offering up advice, but still. "You're a good boy, Trey." Definitely.

She paused when the Gryffindor brought over... food? Or something?

"Legend Chosen told me that if you wait, it might be too late. It was good advice, and I pass it on to you." Neptune gave him one last little hug, then slid down to offer Mia some space. She knew what it was like to be told and told and TOLD what to do, so she'd lay off and let him be. Poor wittle badger baby.

That....wasn't the reaction she had been expecting. Not that she expected him to jump up and hug her or anything. That would be asking far too much considering the last time she had seen him, her hair had been a sickly gray color and she was the one hardly able to look at him.

Now...her very presence seemed to upset him. It was especially obvious due to his smile not being nearly as sparkly as it usually was.

And then, he spoke. Her eyes widened and her expression became one of confusion.

"Did...did I do something wrong?" she asked looking down. Her hands began to tug on her black skirt. "I...I haven't even seen you since the day in the Trophy Room...." How could she have done anything wrong? Unless, she had said something is passing that had then gotten to him. But, she had avoided bringing him up in conversation or else risk her hair turning a sad color again.

It wasn't so much what he said, but more in the manner in which he said it. It was clear that she HAD done something wrong, and the only thing she could think of was her admitting that she liked him. Perhaps that had been the mistake. Perhaps she should have denied it when he had brought it up, when she had found the Aparecium...

Kurumi looked over at the two girls that Treyen had been speaking with and bowed in apology. Perhaps that was why Treyen was seemed a bit...cold...towards her. Perhaps she had interrupted something. "S-S-Sorry for interrupting then..." she said, tugging on her pony tail. She slowly began to turn around. Her head hung low and she looked at her shoes before taking one slow clicking step towards her table.

Maybelle looked at Isobel. "Yeah, I did it just fine." She said. She bounced. "Yeah, we should do that again!" She stopped suddenly when she gave the hint. Jake might not be there... "Who do you plan to invite??" She asked, grabbing an invisible cupcake, realizing it wasn't there she wanted to be dramatic and shout, "NO CUPCAKES!! WHAT MUTINY!!!" But she didn't, she just blushed and broght her hand back to her lap.

*Finding a seat Matty sat down and loaded up his plate. The year was over but for once it had been the best one so far. He had Marie in his life now and wouldn't change that for anything. Feeling off in his full school robes Matty got a look at himself in a dish and rolled his eyes. The pointed wizards hat they had to wear every year looked so dumb on not just him but everyone.*
"Stupid hat..."

They definitely should; last year had been fun. Isobel needed to invite more people; like Damien. Definitely Damien, and hopefully he would be normal. "Damien," she said. Then she realized that Maybelle had never met Damien, but Damien had met Maybelle. That might be a little awkward.

"Nika, and Ariana, maybe Simon." Simon was sitting right next to her. Oh well, he might be tactfully ignoring them. "Nulu. Violet, Max, and Eddie, you didn't meet Max and Eddie last time. They're my friends from Beaubaxtons."

Maybelle blinked, then moved her hand in tiny circles. "And....?" She asked, obviously wondering if she was going to have Jake come....wait, she mentioned Damien, the guy from the library! AHH! Hopefully Luke wouldn't be invited. "Are you inviting Luke?" She asked, hopefully not, because he might think things through wrongly.

"Hey everyone!" Cove said smiling and waving. "That's one long name you've got there Simon." She said. "I may not know much about Quidditch, but I bet you're a good player!"

"T-to France? Why not? That would be awesome! Is it near a beach?" Cove asked. She hadn't been surfing in France yet, but she REALLY wanted too!

"He is," she said with a pointed look at Simon. Then she focused back on Cove. "Um...to be honest, I have no idea." Her aunt had a different house than last year, one she had bought herself.

"I don't think so," she said in response to Maybelle's question about Luke. Damien and Luke, she did not want to experience that. She still thought Luke was cute, but who didn't? She had a feeling he liked her a little, and she had finally admitted to herself that she liked Damien. She did not want them both to come to herself.
