"Nah, it's okay," Zara smiled. She was sure the girl was being nice. "You want me to accompany you at..." Where was Millie headed again? Ahh, Zara forgot. Was this an effect of the impact of the book on her head? "At wherever you were headed."

wut.

Huh? Millie had been going somewhere? WHEN? Oh yeah. That time like ... five minutes ago. When she tripped. oh yah. I remember now. "Yeah, alright. I think I was just wandering" she said with a small chuckle "I honestly can't remember" you weird child Millie. GO EAT OR SOMETHING.

" are you looking for something or someone?" William asked the girl." So how come a pretty girl like you is hanging out by herself?" Wiliam asked her. " My name is William Starrr' he introduced himself to her.

" You are very welcome" William told Tara. " Never ben called by my last name Starr" William laughed." I am glad you are fine" William said to Tara. " So were you do the running part of the DADA homework?" William asked Tara.

Zara blinked. She faintly remembered that Millie was gonna do something besides wandering around. But she forgot too. Oh well. She looked at the ground, as she tried to think of a conversation to put up or a place to go to. Then she spotted the book on the ground, I guess they both forgot to pick up that one too. She kind of squatted or knelt down, whatever you call it. Then she picked up the book that hit her a few minutes ago, and stood up again. "Erm, here's your book," the young Gryffindor smiled as she gave the book back to Millie.

"Wanna go somewhere?" It was getting pretty awkward standing there in the middle of the pathways as other students were passing by.

Chuckling as Bissy's gaze turned blank, he said "Why would I be angry? Relax!" It wasn't like he would kill anyone who asked a question! "It's my bad not to have explained them, actually." Pausing to lick his lips and collect his thoughts, he started his explanation.

"You know a 'foul' means, right, from Quidditch? Well, we have that in football too. There're two colours of cards. A yellow card is for caution, like the traffic lights. It is shown when a player did a dangerous foul or blocked the chance of the opponent's goal, et cetera. A red card is either shown after the second yellow card or directly, depending on the offence of it. A red means you're out, and cannot return to game again. It also means at least one match-ban, unless the diciplinary committee decides to extend it." He paused to let them all sink in. He was talking a bit fast to start as soon as possible. It would have been great if he could watch a game with Bissy and show her all. But, he didn't think they could do that anytime soon.

"Now, penalty is a kind of free-kick--free-kick is given when a player fouls the opponent--but it is done in the penalty area--" he showed the white lines he drew with his wand "--and it blocks the clear chance of goal. Well, if you're in that area every kind of negative action blocks your chances of scoring, so yeah, penalty is a serious thing. And, you use it from a spot maximum 7 metres far aya from the goal line, so it's 90% goal." Sure, it wasn't like there weren't any idiots who still managed to kick the ball out to the space, but that was why they were idiots. "Any more questions?" A friendly tone there, so that she would see she could ask questions, as long as they weren't stupid ones like 'OMG do you have the phone number of blah blah player?'.

Mina listened to Evan explaining what fouls and penalties were. It was rather good to have a little review of everything. She understood it enough to get the basics and it didn't confuse her as it did before but it wasn't like she would complete get it and prevent herself from possible fouling her boyfriend.

"Well put," she smiled as she stood up completely and smiled. "Someone else was trying to explain it all to me before and it didn't really make all that much sense at the time," she added. Maybe she hadn't wanted to understand at the time, but when it came to Evan, he always kept her attention.

I may need it some time.” Then, she nodded approvingly at Mina’s words, smiling.

Seeing Evan being very happy with himself while explaining the things she had asked, she felt a great relief. Yeah, that was very nice of him – explaining the rules with patience. All the things were a bit complex but they are not a big deal. She could sink them all in. She would get accustomed to all of them as she played. She looked at Evan with sparkling eyes and said: “Oh, nope! Not just a single one. I’ve understood them all, Cartwright. Thank you so much.” Then, she turned to Mina and said: “Well… So, let’s take our positions and start playing.”

Mina smiled and glanced at her shoes and back up at Bissy. "Thanks, took me forever to get it right. I used pedis tegumentum," she replied. It wasn't the incantation that most people really used but she knew it worked and it never hurt to know more latin incantation.

Glancing back at Evan and then Bissy, she nodded. "He does have a way with explaining things, doesn't he?" she replied. Most people would think it was all just lickerish, but coming from him; it did make sense to them. Moving toward their goal, Mina stretched one last time and bounced on her heels slightly. "I'm ready if you two are."

Any water? Errr... "No.. but I have some orange juice." The pure kind, because Jamie was a pure kind of guy. Eyebrowz. Reaching into his bag, the boy pulled out a bottle of unopened orange juice and handed it to Viola. Yea, he was happy to help her out, but if she drank it all, all hell would break loose. "Well, you are sometimes." Maybe she wasn't when they first met, but her true colours were beginning to show. Yup. Jamie giggled, "it's okay. I heard you anyway. Apology accepted." Grin, grin, grin.

Jamie almost tumbled forwards when he looked back as she stopped. Sheesh, why so sudden? Owwwhhh, crap. She really had taken this to heart, hadn't she? "And what is wrong with Slytherin?" Never know, she could be a nice Slytherin, like he was. "I didn't mean it in a bad way," he scratched his head, "b-b-but you started it." That was nothing but the truth. She was the one who said he wasn't in the right house. What made this any different? Because Slytherin was the subject??

"Yeah, it applies to both of us." One more mean comment, and they could levitate each other into the Whomping Willow if they wanted. Actually, scratch that idea. "I ain't being mean!?!" If he was, then she technically had permission to hex him. But he wasn't. Nope, he wouldn't stand for that. Jamie grinned. "Owhh, you can't be that bad." No worse than that muggle kid, Justin Bieber anyway. Heheheh. "C'mon, give us a tune." He egged her on.

The Slytherin raised his eyebrows when she was about to insult him, but she seemed to remember the deal. Darn. He was looking forward to hexing her. Not a bad hex.... don't judge him. Jamie just giggled at her, but decided not to comment. TWILIGHT! Yes, that was the travesty that he watched! "I watched that one! Th-they SPARKLE!" Jamie laughed loudly. It was like a vampire movie for under 10-year-olds. They didn't even have fangs.

"Violaaaaaaaa, chill!" He held up his hands in surrender, before sighing heavily. "Maybe I am jealous, then. But only because you said he was better looking than me." And yes, it was pathetic of him, but he couldn't help it. Jamie's opinion of himself was so high, any bruise to his ego would be HUGE. Was it lame to say that the third year was becoming a bit afraid of Viola right now? She kept yelling at him! "If I agree, will you stop getting so defensive!" Truthfully, though, he didn't agree. Friends are nice to each other. Unless they were Slytherins. If they were Slytherins, they had the perfect excuse to not be nice to each other.

Jamie beamed. "Glad I amuse you." Funniest guy on Earth... wow... way to boost his ego even higher. What??? Meditate about a role model? But... he didn't have a role model. Thinking hard, Jamie shrugged and sat in his meditating position again. "How about.. Professor Lafay?" He suggested to Viola, through closed eyes. The woman was pretty cool. She took no nonsense!

Tayla stopped running as she met William. "Thanks Will. You're very nice," she said, giving him a hug back. "My grandmother gave me this locket. I just...I think I just need to fly. Feel the wind against my face. Gotta run." Tayla waved at William as she headed towards the Quidditch pitch. William was a good friend.

"Sorry William." Tara said. His name is William!Every person I meet and make friends with I do something wrong! Tara thought as her cheeks turned red."No, I was in the middle of walking when I tripped over this log." Tara laughed.Tara smiled at the reason she had fell.

" You are really nice, too" William told Tayla. A very beuatiful locket" William said to Tayla. "Any special meaning behind the locket?" William asked Tayla. ' I will see you later" William smiled and waved to Tayla.

" Why are yo usorry?" Willaim asked Tara. " You can call me Starr" William said to Tara." I am a star in sports or music or painting" William lauhed making Tara feel at ease." Walking can be dangerous around HogWarts" William told Tara. "So how is HogWarts treating you ?' William asked Tara.

Oh! Thank God! Viola gratefully accepted the juice. She took a huge gulp and wow! She felt more normal again. She returned the bottle to Jamie and smiled. “Thanks.” She took a deep breath and waited for the boy to replace the bottle in his bag, before continuing to run. “Now. That’s not fair. Didn’t I just say ‘thanks’?" Viola grinned. Grr. “Oh, did I apologize? I don’t really remember.” Ugh. Embarrassing!

Viola stood, clutching her waist. She was tired and really annoyed. What was wrong with Slytherin? She could name a 100 things that was wrong with that house! “Nothing.” He'd just insulted her! “Right and now it’s all my fault?” Viola asked, raising an eyebrow. “What I said about you not being in the right house..was a compliment!” And, didn't he say that he wasn’t happy with his house? Ugghhhh. He was so confusing! “Boys.” Viola muttered.

That’s not good. She made a face. “Aw. Well, I guess I’ll stick to the deal.” She had no other choice. “Oh, yes. You are!” Viola exclaimed. And, now…"So, can I hex you? You were being mean.” YAY. Of course, she couldn't hex him since she didn’t have her wand. And even if she did, she wasn’t sure if she would have thrown a hex at him. Viola stared. ”Your kidding, right? You want ME to sing?” She can’t be that bad? Yeah, right. “I’m terrible.” But, she knew she had to do this.

Huh. Stupid deal. She really wished she hadn’t agreed to it. “So, you watch a lot of muggle movies?” Annddd.."You don’t have to look so excited. I'm NOT going to be hexed.” Hopefully. Did he just giggle? She raised her eyebrows but didn’t comment. Oh! “You did?” she asked, surprised. “It was horrible, wasn’t it? Vampires don’t sparkle!” That movie was such a waste of time. She blamed her cousin for dragging her to watch it. Apparently, Jess had a crush on that vampire. Weird.

LOL. “Jamie is jealous. Jamie is jealous.” Viola sang, with a huge smile on her face. Okay. Now, she was acting really immature. She stopped singing, feeling stupid. But, she was really proud of herself. She made him admit that he WAS jealous. “I still think that he is better looking that you.” Gosh. “No. I won’t..but can’t you just agree?” she asked, exasperated. But, their ideas on friendship were so different. Friends are meant to be people who get along with each other really well and who are always there for each other..through ups and downs. His idea was to be nice and polite?

Viola groaned. “You know, I’m scared to say anything nice to you. It just boosts your ego.” Viola continued hastily, “And, that wasn’t mean. It was the truth.” Professor Lafay? She liked her but..”I’m going to meditate about my mum. She is my role model.” Viola closed her eyes.

I should send Rachel a letter, she thought. Rachel was her sister and she missed her, maybe not as much as Liam but she could talk with her about anything. Suddenly, she heard someone's voice behind her that made her slightly jump. Georgiana turned around and saw a boy and said "Merlin...you scared me!" she said almost breathless and with a hand on her chest. She then answered the question "Uhh, not really. I was just walking around" she shrugged.
When she heard the comment about "Pretty girl" the first thing she thought was this boy is a flirt and slightly chuckled, rolling her eyes "Thank you" she smiled "Well, I just wanted to be by myself for a while" she nodded, but was glad there was some company now. "I'm Georgiana, nice to meet you. You know, my bro's name is William too" she said.

" I am so sorry, did not mean to scare you" Wiliam told Georgiana. " Just walking around, that is interesting" William said to Georgiana. " You are welcome" Willliam smiled. " Well, then by all means , I will let you be by yourself" William expalined to Georgiana. " Nice to meet you, too. Georgiana" William replied back to her. " Guess we have something in common don't we?" Willaim asked her

"No, it's okay" she said, it didn't really matter. "I know, better than be inside doing homeworks" ugh and she had to do a lot. When William said he would let her be by herself, she quickly said "Oh no! stay, better have company than be alone" she said smiling. Georgiana didn't mean to sound rude, if she did, by telling him that she wanted "to be by herself". She nodded "Yeah, I guess. So, what year are you in?" she asked him.

" Well, I promise again not to scare you" William told Georgiana. " Yes. it is better than staying inside" William said to Georgiana. " I will be happy to stay" William smiled." I am in my first year, you?" William asked Georgiana. "Do you get your good looks from your mother?" William asked Georgiana.

"Thanks then!" she said smiling. "Yeah, I know. There's nothing interesting to do inside" she said while walking. She looked around the pathways while William was talking and looked back at him "That's great" she smiled. Now she had some company and wouldn't look like a loner hehe. Ohh first year..."I'm in second year" she nodded and when she heard his comment, she chuckled. Mhm definitely he was a flirt. "Well, of course" she said winking. Her mom was pretty as well as her sister so, she was pretty too, right?. Georgiana said "And you...Did you get your flirting from your dad?" she said teasing.

" I actuslly go to my common room and it is very interesting with all the syudents there" William explained to Georgiana." We are going to get along real well" William told Georgiana."Second year, that is cool" William smiled." I knre you got your pretty looks from your mom" William agreed with Georgiana.
" Well, I am not sure if I get my flirting from my dad, but my mom and dad were married about six montha ater they met at the Ministry" William said to
Georgiana.

Jonathan felt like for a run today. He decided to do the 5 mile run that is written on his journal for his DADA project.

1. Run 8 km (5 miles)

Crossing it off with his muggle pencil, Jonathan smiled of what he has accomplished. Half way through and he will be done in no time. He returned his journal and pencil back to his mini sling bag and stretched his arms like it says in the project as well. He has been carefully taking notes of the exercises he will be doing.

After doing some stretching he jumped for about five times and then slowly bend down to touch his toes. It's all part of the project but it feels great exercising everyday.

After finishing stretching and touching his toes he was ready for that run/jog... whatever suits him and won't make him dehydrate.

He started running with his eyes focused on the path. He hummed a tune while doing so to keep him up beat.

One gulp was fine with him. From how dehydrated she looked, he thought she may down the lot. Smiling, Jamie took the bottle back, took a sip for himself, then popped it back into his bag. Wow, it was refreshing. "No problem. Hey, do you think we've done five miles yet?" Surely they couldn't be far away from the goal now. The boy groaned to himself as he remembered that they had to write a diary about it, too. Despite being due at the end of term, this assignment was TOO MUCH. "Saying 'thanks' does not match up to all the mean things you have said to me." He said, pouting. The third year giggled, then rolled his eyes. "You did apologize, yes." Don't play dumb, now.

Jamie snorted. Viola clearly hated the house and it gave Jamie a twang of annoyance. Even though his own feelings towards Slytherin was slightly low, it didn't mean he accepted other people degrading it. He WAS a Slytherin, after all. "Hey! There you go again, insulting my house!" An argument was brewing. Ohhhhhhh, no. "Hufflepuffs." He muttered back, shaking his head.

GOOD. They had a deal, which was kind of exciting. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. She was using his own deal against him! "NO, you cannot hex me. I wasn't doing anything MEAN!" Unlike her, who was previously insulting his house. That was mean. That was worth a hex. Jamie watched Viola squirm around about the singing with an amused expression. He wasn't going to judge her or anything. He was no Simon Cowell. "Yes, you must sing. You must, or else you won't pass the assignment." Because you couldn't sing by yourself, the homework stated that you had to sing to someone else. Every week.

"Sometimes, yes. They are kinda interesting." Especially their films that had magic in them. It was funny to see their take on things, when most of the time, it was all wrong. ORLY? Somehow, Jamie didn't think that Viola had the guts to hex someone, but HE did. The boy grinned, "we'll see about that." That's all he said on the matter. Yup. Hehe. Thank Merlin that Viola agreed with his opinion on Twilight. Most girls swooned over it. "I know, right? I thought Vampires were supposed to be ugly, anyway." In the real world, they were ugly.

o_____________O

"OI! I will get my wand out!" Because teasing him like that counted as a part of their deal! If she didn't stop, he would do that water-shooting spell at her, or something. It would be simple, though. Jamie wasn't particularly good at wand work. Why? Just why was this girl so mean to him? Jamie was starting to dislike her. "STOP saying that." He put his hands over his ears. STOP DAMAGING HIS EGO. Well, wasn't she being the difficult one? "If you don't stop, then I won't agree." Simple enough.

Hehehehe. "It's not a bad thing, though." Boosting his ego was a great thing in his opinion. It always made his mood more positive. Her mum? Psssssssh, whatevs. "Suit yourself." Right, meditation time... Err... how do you meditate? Just sit there are hum?

Bissy raised her eyebrows in bewilderment. She looked at Mina and said: "Wow! I've never heard such a spell before." She repeated the incantation silently trying to memorize it. It would turn out to be a very useful spell one day. She caught Evan's gaze and smiled timidly. "Well, he may have got bored with this little girlish chat" Bissy thought.

The blonde snake turned to Mina when asked about her opinion and said: "Yeah, exactly he has. If his greatest ambition weren't becoming a professional footballer, I would highly recommend him to become a teacher. He's quite explaining and most importantly patient". Then, she chuckled and continued: "OK, Mina. I'm ready. And apparently Cartwright is ready, too. Let's take position" They made their ways to their own goal posts. Bissy said: "I can shoot first." and kick the ball with all her might. It stopped right in front of Evan's foot. Meh, that was just the beginning after all, she would probably improve her shooting skills.

Become a teacher? Haha, no way. "I'd only become a teacher for football," he said, looking slightly disgusted with the idea of being a normal teacher. Dealing with all those naughty, unruly, unbearable children... NOT his type. "I'm patient because it's you people, understanding and clever." The rest was... just, no.

As they took their position, his expression turned into a more concentrated one as he took his position toward his own goal to block their attack. Though, when Bissy aimed her shoot just at him, he figured this would be even easier than he thought. He passed softly back to Mina. It was their attack, after all... and he didn't want to score at the first minute and demoralise them. Because once he started scoring, he would score. Hehe.

"Yeah, I guess sometimes is fun to be there" she nodded. When there were friends to be with, you surely would have a great time. " I hope so!" she said smiling, the boy was nice and a great company. In reply of the comment of her pretty looks she said "Even when you haven't meet my mom, you already knew" she chuckled and put a strand of her wavy hair behind her ear. "Oh really? Interesting. My mom and dad met here at Hogwarts, but never got together until they were out and met again at Diagon Alley, because he worked at Gringotts" she nodded. While walking Georgiana almost tripped over a tree root but thanks Merling she did not fell down "That was close..." she said a bit embarrassed. So, she changed the subject "So, how are you doing in your classes so far?" she asked.

" Yes and sometimes it is good to get out" William smiled. " We are freinds" Wiliam told Georgiana." I just have a knack for knowing where the girls get their looks from and everyonce in a while it is their dad" William explained to Georgiana." A very interesting story about your parents" William said to Georgiana." I am a sucker for girl's twirling of the hair" William laughed." Good, you did not fall down or you might have been hirt" William sighed.
I am doing ok in my calsses" William smiled again. " How about you?" he asked Georgiana.

Mina shrugged and smiled. "My cousin taught me it. Comes in handy at times like this," she replied. For some reason it was easily for her to remember it compared to the other charms that did the same thing. Looking back over at Evan, she smiled innocently. "I do think you might be right, but I'm sure he doesn't mind too much to indulge us for a bit." She really didn't get that much girly talk in as is.

Nodding in agreement, she smiled. "I would see him as a teacher of maybe older students but only if they were in dire need and all." She knew teaching wasn't something he would want to do if he could play.

Taking her position, she watched as the ball made its way over to Evan. Watching as the ball stopped short, she frowned a little. "That was a great try Bissy," she called out. It was a lot better than her first shot she took back when Evan had taught her to play. Seeing the ball coming her direction, she moved to meet it. Her foot making contact with it, she started to move it with the side of her foot, trying to find a good stop to take her short.

Using some of the footwork that she had picked up, she took her shot just to the left of Evan. She wasn't aiming for the centre of the goal, it was more the left corner.

Five miles? Viola rolled her eyes. “I don’t think we’ve done even a mile.” Uhh. But, she wasn’t sure. She started to run a bit faster. Bleh. This was like the worst assignment in the history of assignments or homework or whatever. She was so tired but kept going, anyway. She just had to complete this task. “Yeah. It does. And, what do you mean by ‘all the mean things’? You are exaggerating.” She wasn’t that mean to him now..or was she? LOL. Did he just..pout? Umm..”Umm..okay. If you say so.” She wasn’t going to admit the fact that she apologized. Nope. Never.

And, before she could forget..she gave him a quick hug and said, “Happy National Hug a Slytherin Day.” Viola couldn’t help laughing. He was definitely going to hate her now.

What was wrong with him? Didn’t he say that he wanted to be anything other than a Slythie? And, now, he was defending his house? Okay. Whatever. “For the last time, that was not an insult!” She was really annoyed with him. “Didn’t you say that you didn’t like Slytherin?” Really. He was just acting weird. Hufflepuffs? Grr. But, she wasn’t going to say anything else. Not a word. She wasn’t interested in arguing with him.

Viola giggled. She really wished she had her wand. For scaring him. A little. “Of course, you were! You know, you’re being mean all the time.” NOOOOOOOOO! Why was he forcing her to sing? Now, that WAS mean. “I know that. Thank you very much.” She didn’t want a reminder. “I just don’t want to embarrass myself. Not in front of you. You’ll probably just tease me about it for the rest of my life.” She’d rather fail the assignment than have Jamie making fun of her.

Viola snorted. Interesting? Most of them were just absurd. She only liked a couple of films. What was that now? Oh yes. Lord of the Rings. Amazing movie. It was one of the very few muggle movies she actually liked. The others…were just weird. Like Twilight and Moon something..That was the sequel wasn’t it? Terrible. And, people actually went to the theatre to see such films. “Yeah. We will.” Although, she did sound a bit doubtful. What if he did hex her? Ugghhh. She didn’t want to think about that. “Exactly. Sparkly, ugly, stupid…” Yeah, the list goes on.

Huh? Did he just threaten her? “You know, I wasn’t MEAN!” Viola nearly yelled. “And, you should really stop calling me mean. I was just teasing you. There’s a huge difference!” Viola came to an abrupt halt. Her head was starting to ache. She pressed her fingers to her temples, taking deep breaths. He was being really difficult. She had actually starting to like him before he started getting all defensive. “Fine. I’ll agree.” Viola sighed. Whatever. Obviously, she didn’t agree but yeah.

“Yeah, it is. That’s the reason why I tease you all the time.” Viola closed her eyes and started meditating. She started to think of her lovely mother. Oh. “By the way, how long do we have to do this for?”

Turning back to her when she answered the question,"Nice. I like that one but for me it's a toss up between Defense Against the Dark Arts and Potions. But for something that I'd really enjoy I'd have to say herbology."

His ears went a little pink as he said,"You must think that's weird huh? Big guy like me prefer tending to screaming baby mandrakes and teething tentaculas instead of facing boggarts."

Usually he told others Defense Against the Dark Arts but he's not sure why he told Ivory Herbology.

Grinning widely, Ivory paused for a second, standing up on her tippy toes and reaching out a slim hand to grab a handful of leaves from a nearby branch. Sticking a pose, a bit of a ridiculous one since she wasn't exactly sure what models did, she held up the leaves to her hair in what probably looked like some sort of odd peacock like array. "Perfect for formal and school wear." She added with a wink. "Coming soon to a tree near you." With a laugh, she smiled ruefully and continued walking letting the leaves trail through her fingers to wander off with the breeze.

"Yeah those are great subjects especially here at Hogwarts, though I must say this year doesn't exactly showcase it." She admitted, with Lord Bertie Borr's term assignment in mind. Nodding, she kicked a random pebble ahead watching it tumble down the path. "Herbology would totally be my runner up favorite too." Shaking her head at his tone and pink ears, Ivory smiled reassuringly. "I don't think its weird at all. Herbology is great. And hey, it takes strong will to deal with some of those plants." It totally did. She'd known many an older guy that had shied away from some of the more dangerous plants.
