Ember hugged her friend again. " awww ill have to get my own back." Ember winked. " heyy you know me, me being a ravie is hardly gonna stop me from making mischief." Ember laughed and grabbed a carrot stick. " Besides i cant have my trouble twin being upset."

"Good thanks, we are getting married this summer!" she told Rowan and then said "Do you want to join me?"

'What do you mean?' Rose grinned, holding back tears, at the use of 'trouble twins'. She had never had a best friend before, 'cause everyone at her old school thought she was a freak as they didn't know how she did magic, as she couldn't tell them.

" Well Rose, you must no, that i wont ever have you upset, for you are my bestest friend here at hogwarts." Ember grinned at her. " We shall make the trouble in this school together. lets make my grandparents Fred and George proud yeah." Ember grabbed another carrot stick. " Carrot stick rose."

"Yes, thank you," Rowan said and sat down. "I can't believe the wedding is so soon. You must be so excited."

'Thanks, Ember!' Rose said as she hugged her. She took the carrot stick and, surprisingly, it tasted OK! She had never been able to stomach carrot sticks! 'Hey, these are pretty good!'

"Well my family has a steam car and a horse and buggy. That's how we get around on the island as a family, if I go somewhere by myself I walk there. If it's to another country my parents apparate and I side-along apparate." She said smiling. "I have never ridden in a car that requires gasoline, the smell is so unbearable!" She added. "Oh playing music how lovely! I myself play the harp, PianoForte, and flute." Alice commented, then decided to add "Pianoforte is the proper name for a piano."

" your right you know. hmmm i suppose its hogwarts food." Ember had a sudden evil plan. " hey Rose watch this." Ember grabbed a carrot stick and threw it at the back of Jordan's head. " he properly didn't feel a thing, but it be funny if he did." Ember burst out laughing.

Rose laughed along 'Nice aim!' Rose complimented her. 'Hey, we need a plan!' Rose said mischeiviously...

Alice saw someone begin to throw food and was shocked.

"Hey! Don't start a food fight, do you want us to lose points before the term even starts?" She asked shocked.

"I am really excited, we have everything ready for when I finish school" she told Rowan and then said "You are invited!"

'Oops! Sorry, Ember, I suppose it was my fault you were chucking food! You were only trying to avenge me!' Rose laughed

" heheeh sooryy. wont do it again." Ember winked at Rose.

" we doo, i like plans, there ... fun."

'That I agree with!' Rose laughed ' Oh, Jordan did feel the carrot!' Rose giggled. 'He thinks I'm being silly over a joke as he calls it' Rose scowled 'Sorry!' Rose said brightening up 'Bit of a dark moment, there!'

" well number one im glad he felt it. Number two, hey dude i love your dark moments there tottaly eeery." Ember looked around the Great hall. " Some cute guys around, but thats my second priority, my first is fun. Fun and trouble. There my middle names."

'What a coincidence! So are mine!' Rose laughed! 'Sorry, not used to dark moments anywhere else but my old muggle school!'

"I haven't forgotten," Rowan said. "I can't wait to see you in your dress. I bet there will be tons of people there."

Alice didn't really believe the girl but she decided to to leave it alone, they were Ravenclaw after all... they should be able to win the cup by doing well in class.

" i got a feeling were going to cause hell, and its a good feeling. I cant help it, it runs in the family. right our plan, MARAUDERS MAP. I think my dad had it last, it was passed down from James in the family."

"It is a traditional white dress, we are having the wedding in the grounds of his castle" she told Rowan, she was still playing with her engagement ring.

"I've been to the castle. It's truly beautiful. May I see your ring?" she asked. Some how she never had the chance to look at it.

'Nah, lets scrap that plan and do op:mp' Rose said

"Of course!" She held out her hand which had a ring with a blue topaz and then she said "blue topaz is my birthstone!"

Oh, so NOW she was being sort of nice to him? Because he mentioned 'presents'?

But, right, he was in no position to complain, for it was his own fault that Ellie fell short on words to him AFTER he greeted her properly. Or greeted her, or didn't greet her, whatever, his mind had many thoughts and it was proving to be quite difficult to keep track of everything.

"I did," he ventured a smile, but did not look at her yet, "It is nothing, really," because it had been kind of free, and the rest was all on him, his father, and Aaron's abilities to sneak in. So, thanks to Aaron. Did he have it on him, though? The present? As a matter of fact, he did, his cloak had it, the boy had decided to carry it around in case he were to find Ellie on the train. Never mind that he'd been trying to avoid her as long as he could.

Reason for it? Unknown.

Quidditch. That was all it took for her to be more Ellie-like. "Yes, it was a last minute thing, but my father got us tickets, and I went with Aaron," he was going to explain who Aaron was, but since he made yet another mistake of looking at her, then he completely forgot about it and just smiled.

"It was...," not his first Quidditch World Cup, "...pretty awesome, truth be told, we were just terribly disappointed by the outcome," he nodded, and his smile became smaller only because he was talking about England's loss, but she was talking to him, and that's all that mattered, no? "Vindictus refereed in there, did you know? I had a blast watching him do so." It had been rather funny, if not annoying to witness how the man was with all those Quidditch players around him.

So, present time? While Dallin decided if he liked Quidditch or not?

Yup.

"So, I...kind of thought of you...and this picture was taken before the final game," he said, as he started to get a picture of England's team before the final match, they were gathered together behaving like childrens on a Christmas morning, but he'd rather seeing that image, than the one that overtook them once they lost, "Actually, plenty of pictures were taken before the game, but I took this one and...they sort of signed it," that was obvious, since the autographs were there, "Too bad they lost, though," because the picture would've been an even greater gift if they'd won.

And NOW, he stretched his hand to Ellie, holding the picture out for her. It was hers.

"heheheheeh plans are the best feeling ever. you know what, i like stinkbombs." Ember had a guilty look on her face. " of course i wouldnt be that harsh and drop one right here right now."
