Emma beamed him a delighted smile as he gave her a hug back. His usual bear hug. Her Alexbear was back. Nothing to fear. The blonde smiled happily but then the smile turned into a slight frown when he looked away from her gaze. Hmph... She put her hands on her hips for a second, before folding them.

"Why do you look away? Are you ashamed of something Alexbear?" she asked, curiously, because she really had started disliking when people avoided her gaze when they were sad. The blonde's smile faded and she put a hand on his shoulder. He had let Fee down and besides he had kind of left her and Team Fealem. The blonde sighed and blinked her eyelashes quickly, trying to keep a neutral expression. But it wasn't working. Her forehead had worried lines.

Emma grimaced for a second, before replying. The blonde placed an arm on Alexbear's shoulder. My he had grown again! Emma had thought that she would have finally caught up to her Alexbear but... he kept growing. Boys.. "Team Fealem's falling apart. Or has already fallen." she replied, her voice soft and full of sadness. Good bye my almost lover. Good bye my hopeless dream, thought Emma, singing the song in her head.

The blonde needed to find out why Alexbear was so distressed. She didn't want to play games where she had to read her partner's mind. "Alex. Please tell me. What's going on? I can't stand to see you like this!" she exclaimed, her brown eyes full of worry.

Haha! These paths were awesome! Kana wound her way through the paths, one earbud stuck in her ear under her hoodie. No one could probably see it due to the hood AND her bright, bright red hair. She was singing softly to herself the lyrics of "All Around Me". Kannalynne actually had NO wizard music on her music player. She thought muggle music was just perfect. Usually.

She wore a grey tee shirt with lace sleeves under her black hoodie, although one would be unable to tell, black capri pants, and knee-high converses that laced all the way up. At the moment, the tips of them were a bit dirty from her running and jogging over the pathways.

Jumping up onto a rock, she hoisted herself up into a tree and sat on the lowest branch, enjoying her bit of free time.

Katie had changed when she hadn't gone to the hospital after his accident. She had stopped being a friend. Her not showing up at the hospital had come up at the feast, but it wasn't until just then she realized the extent of how deeply it had hurt him. Maybe he was right. Maybe she had changed. Guilt surged through her in that moment, her dark eyes moving to focus on anything other than his emerald green ones. The furthest she got was the tree a couple feet away.

Their break up was anything but fine or great, but Katie kept her mouth shut. She knew better than to shatter the thin, already cracked ice they were on. Though she wasn't sure how it could get any worse, since they weren't exactily friends anymore either, it would still be liking kicking a sumo wrestler while he's down. Useless. The next words out of his mouth made her look up to meet his gaze, shaking her curly-haired head at him. No, he was wrong. He was wrong, and she was going to let him know it. Maybe she had changed, maybe they both had, but something he had said still wasn't true. "You're wrong," though the girl felt rather small at the moment, her voice was firm. "I didn't think you would.." Still, Katie couldn't bring herself to use the word he had. How could she explain to him, to make him understand? It didn't matter how, because she had to tell him. Had to try, even though it wouldn't fix things and it was too late. "Legend.. I hate her. You have no idea how much I hate her, and at the time all I could think about was what I'd seen.. she kissed you, and I lost it." Pausing, the Hufflepuff diverted her gaze for a moment, her arms coming up to cross over her middle as she avoided thinking about it too much, reliving it in her head. "Logically, I knew you wouldn't have. I knew you didn't. But I wasn't thinking logically. All I could think about was how much I hate her, and how much.. it hurt, and how I needed to get away from there."

"You picked her first, Legend. Before me, when you had known how I felt.. I know that doesn't matter," Untangling one arm, Katie waved a hand dismissively, the other still wrapped around herself. "but .. I couldn't help how I felt, how it hurt so much to see that, I know you wouldn't have but.." Finding it hard to say anything else, Katie shrugged. She couldn't admit that there was a time (or times) when she had felt second to Hazel, or that the day they had broken up, maybe Legend would have realized Hazel was the better choice after all. "We hadn't been talking since that day, and I didn't hear about your accident right away. When I did find out.. I wanted to go and see you," the girl frowned again, doubting Legend would believe her or care, because she hadn't gone to see him. "But I didn't.. I don't know where we stand, especially then, and I.. at first I didn't think twice, but then I did stop and think. I was scared that if I went.. you wouldn't want me there, or that my being there would bother you more," Katie gave a slight, helpless shrug of her shoulders. "I was wrong, and stupid, if it were any other time.. I would have been there no matter how I'd think you'd feel about it; I wouldn't have cared about that. But I didn't, and I don't have a timeturner to go back and fix that.." Trailing off into silence, Katie didn't know what else to say. "It doesn't fix anything, I know that, but I am sorry."

Hope for what? Katie just shrugged for probably the millionth time, murmuring. "I don't know anymore.."

Witsy swayed with excitement... she took the picture, she really couldn't have helped herself, he was just too cute. Once he stopped jumping she noticed the clouds changing color. It looked as if it was about to rain, she didn't mind the rain always made for the most romantic evenings, at least that's was she always thought.

Tayla closed her eyes and breathed in the fresh air. She leaned on the wooden rail and watched a few students walk by. She was enjoying her classes in Hogwarts, but having finished some of her homework, it felt good to have some free time.

Tayla squinted her eyes as she saw something glinting above, moving towards her. She grinned as she realized what it was. "Marigold!" she said as her tawny owl flew towards her. The glint came from Marigold's distinct golden feather. Tayla drew out her arm and let Marigold land gently on it. "It's great to see you girl," Tayla said, fondly petting Marigold. "I hope the journey wasn't too tiring."

"Oh, a letter!" Tayla said happily, seeing a roll of parchment attached to Marigold's leg. She untied the letter, fed Marigold some pellets she kept in her robes, and let her fly off to the owlery to get some rest. She pocketed the letter, deciding she'd read it later, as she spotted her friend Zara walking towards her.

" I thnk we might want to huddle closer" Willaim told Witsy. " It looks like rain to me" Willaim said to Witsy. " Now if Diagon Alley is open, we could go get a butterbeer to keep us even warmer" Willaim explained to Witsy.

" Is that your owl?" Willaim asked Tayla. " I hope it will be good news for you" William said to Tayla." What is your owl's name?" William asked Tayla.

Connor half grinned. "Ok I just wanted to make sure." He said softly. "If you're sure you're up to it." He replied jogging back to the path. "Do you mind if I set the pace for a bit, I'm all warmed up." He explained once they got back onto the path. He picked up the speed and stride a bit.

"Yeah, she's my owl. Her name's Marigold," Tayla replied with a smile. She looked up and watched fondly as Marigold flew towards the castle. "Thanks Will. I think it's good news...I sent my parents and little sister something a few days ago. Must be their reply."

"Hey Tayla!" Zara shouted as she saw her friend and ran towards her. She noticed the parchment and the owl. Ooh, someone must've sent her a letter. "Ooohh, a letter." She said, wondering who it was from. But she felt it rude to ask anyway, so she didn't hoping that Tayla would probably tell her the story.

Dani laughed- "Hmmm" she said softly- "Of course I am" she laughed- she had to get into shape. "That's okay" she said softly as she moved next to him. She turned to smile at him- she smirked as someone nearby wolf whistled at her and she rolled her eyes- "Last summer, when we were in Egypt- some guy tried to literally buy me from my parents, for like 5 camels or something. Mum slapped him" she smirked at Connor.

"Zara!" Tayla grinned and waved. "Yeah, it's a letter from my parents. Sent them an owl all the way to Canada a few days ago. Marigold did a great job."

Tayla pulled out her wand and stared at it fondly. "I think I'm starting to get addicted to magic," she said with a thoughtful smile. "I enjoyed Transfiguration so much today. Even with that crazy man for a professor...He loves us doesn't he? Team Shaw!" Tayla chuckled. "How did your day go?"

Wisteria played the part, although capable of handling herself in any weather condition, she loved being the typical damsel in distress. She fell into Williams chest, "Could we sit under a tree and talk for bit?" She could feel the warmth of his shirt as she brushed past it looking up to William, "Only if you don't mind the potential chance of getting wet?" She leaned closer whispering into his ear, "I may know a charm that could dry us after."

" Well, Marigold seems like a real good worker" William told Tayla." Of course, it is good news" William said to Tayla. " I wonder if my owl " Pettifer" will bring me any notes from home" William smiled.

" Of course, we can sit under the tree and talk" William told Witsy." Getting wet is not a problem when you with someone you love" William said to Witsy." Good, the charm can be used if we really get too wet" William explained to Witsy.

"Pettifer. That's an interesting name," Tayla said kindly. "I named my owl Marigold because of her golden feather. Why'd you name yours Pettifer?"

Connor looked up at her why was she telling him this? He didn't feel that way about her and she knew it. She was like a little sister to him and that was all. "I don't really want to hear about that Dani. It's kinda gross to think about." He wrinkled his nose as he ran a little faster. He turned around and jogged backward for a moment looking back at her, than stopping for a second. "Doesn't all this attention ever bother you?" He shuddered sometimes at all the attention he got and he couldn't control it but Dani could. Why would anyone want to attract such attention if they had any choice in the matter?

"Perfect." She took each step a little bit slower, she enjoyed being with William. She wanted this time to last a long time. "What about that willow up ahead?" She squinted a bit to see just what kind it was, "Awww I think it's a Cherry-willow they blossom beautifully when the time's right."

Nika strolled out to the courtyard with a cheerful smile on her face. Hogwarts just made all of her family problems seem like nothing. She looked around and smiled at a few familiar faces as she walked by them. Nika didn't want to interrupt anyone, but she just can't stand being alone. It's miserable not having anyone to talk to! So she just looked around to see if anyone would show up.

" Yes, it is interesting" William told Tayla. " Yes, the golden feather of Marigold stands out" William said to Tayla. " I saw this boy named Wiliam Pettifer in a muggle movie,, a very good actor, so I saw this owl who kind of acted and named him " Pettifer" William explained to Tayla.

" I am glad we agree on sitting down" William told Witsy." the willow is fine" William said to Witsy. " A Cherry-willow is perfect for us" William explained to Witsy.

Dani nodded, blushing from embarassment. "Of course It bothers me, I'm only human... And... I don't like that people just... see my outside and that's it- they think they know me just because I like to look good, the way i've been brought up to look. They don't bother to get to know me. They mostly just assume either one of two things about me. I'm really pretty or I'm completely dumb" she laughed and shrugged, even though it hurt her- a lot. A lot of things hurt her but she just had to deal with it. "And people... don't take me seriously. Don't listen to me or think for once about what I might be feeling" she said as she looked down. "I dunno. I just... wish things weren't just about appearances and all" she shrugged.

Nessie had decided to take a nice walk on the grounds with her Pgmy puff (Puffles). She was pretty tired and didn't even know how she was still moving. She felt like a walking zombie. She couldn't move her legs much more. So she took a seat on one of the railings, but without knowing what was going on she fell off. She then got up really quickly hoping no one would notice. Her cheeks had gone really red and she was really embaressed. She picked up Puffles and stroked him a bit trying to look normal.

"Are you alright?" Mia had been walking along the pathways with her puffeskin, Arnold, sitting on her shoulder when she had noticed one of her fellow housemates fall over. And gosh she was such a tiny little thing too. It wasn't until she was standing beside a first year that she realised just how tall she was.

Helena still looked a bit dazed. "Hey, are you alright?" Seen her owl? "Nope. I haven't. At least, I don't remember having seen it." Viola grinned. "Well, yeah." It wasn't exactly her owl. It was a..family owl. Anyway, she didn't really want one for her own.

Viola nodded her head and said, "Yep. Shopping is definitely a lot of fun." She had done a lot of shopping during the holidays. It always made her feel better.

"Erm.. Yeah!Thanks" said Nessie blushing. There was a Huffie standing next to her, She seemed pretty nice "Um.. I'm Renesmee by the way, but you can call me , Ness or Nessie". Said Ness as cheeks started going back to normal. She usually asn't very clumsy, she was just pretty tired. Nessie then noticed the puffskin on her shoulder. "What his name?" asked Ness curiously.

Mia noticed the blushing but pretended she hadn't, no point in making the girl anymore uncomfortable than she alread was. "Lovely to meet you, Ness. Mine name is Mia and this..." she reached up and took the puffeskin down off her shoulder and held him in her hand..."is Arnold." It had been a long time since she'd had a pet and she was quite excited about Arnold. "So how are you liking Hogwarts?"

"He is so cute" said Nessie giving him a small stroke with her free hand."Its AWSOME!!" said Nessie smiling. Nessie was still holding Puffles, though he seemed like he wanted to go down. She put him down so he could run around. She almost forgot to introduce him "Oh um.. That was Puffles!" said Nessie watching Puffles run around the ground.
