Emma grinned and nodded. "No problems. And I'll always be." she promised her friend. "Merlin's Beard! I sound like a Gryffindor!" she exclaimed chuckling. She had been hanging with Brae a lot. A Malfoy switching to the Gryffindor house? The blonde smiled softly. "Well I care about you and so does SuperBrae"

Then Ellie was shrugging sadly. Noooo! "Umm.. Well both. I guess." she said. Emma had only recently heard it from Fee, yet Fee didn't want to talk about it at all. And cheering up Alex proved to not really work because she used to like him a lot. But being with Ellie, she felt like she could help support her friend. "I understand. Moving on is tough. My best friend left last year and now her evil cousin has come. But I'm starting to get along with her cousin." she explained, chuckling.

Anyway, something happier. "So let's go do something fun today!"

'You met a boggart? Really? ,' Daisy asked, impressed that Oakey knew how to defeat it. 'What form did it take?' she asked curiously, flopping onto her back and staring at the clouds.
She turned to Nessie, 'did you know about "the tree that fights back"?' she asked, guessing she had seen it almost destroy Oakey

"really!! Well I hope you don't mind me asking but what is your Boggart?" said Nessie a bit regretfully but too interested to care. She always used to like knowing what people's boggarts were or what their animigas or patronuses were. It was just something that facinated Nessie.

It took the form of my Foster Father, But he kept spitting insults at me and told me how much he hated me. Daisy and Nessie didn't doubt him. But later on someone told me how to beat it so I went back and scared it off.

" Yes, are parents always worry about us" William laughed."A very mysterious ship, but I saw some students go n on the ship with the flying professor" William said to Heather. " Yes, us Gryffindors and our adventures" William agreed with Heather. " We should at least check it out if not go on the ship" William explained to Heather.

"Sounds quite scary! Hope you didn't get hurt" said Nessie freaking out a bit. She hopped he didn't hurt himslef in any way.

Kita bit her lip. Ok, she had just heard what she had said and... well... it didn't sound right. She was not going to blush. No. SHE. WASN'T. GOING. TO. BLUSH!!!

She hated blushing.

Right! There's only one thing for it: style it out! Now that, Kita could do. "I'm invited?" Correction: "I'm in the wedding? Like actually in the wedding? OH. MY. DAYS!" And... there was the squeal again! This was great! Oh! But now she was faced with a problem... what to wear? Hm... This could take some time... Kita shook her head and gaped at Caroline. "I know that," she said timidly, "I just got a bit... excited! That's all. You can't blame a girl for getting excited." Because Kita was EXCITED! And maybe a bit hyper as well.

Caroline laughed. She loved having Kita as a best friend, never a dull moment when they were together. "Yeah. You are my best friend." She laughed again that crazy squeal, she must get in from her. Excited? Not as excited as her nowhere near as excited as she felt right now. "That's okay." She smiled. "So, how are you doing? " She still hadn't finished talking about what she had found out over the summer.

Kita could have positively glowed! Right there and then. Ok, Caroline was only stating a fact. But it still made the brunette feel happy. "And you're my best friend as well," she said, "So you've definitely got a part in my wedding." She winked at Caroline, trying to forget the fact that she actually needed to get a boyfriend first. Hm... How was she doing... "I'm doing... good," she said, sitting up straight and looking all important. She shook her head and turned back to Caroline with a smile on her face. "What about you? Anything interesting?" she asked, waggling her eyebrows.

"I know you're not a girl," she blinked.

What did this boy think she was? Stupid? Crazy? Insane. What nonsense. Lola Jones was perfectly sane but she continued to laugh evilly (but heartily), wanting to get out her green wig... Mmm. Look at him. First or second year. He looked so vulnerable. She just grinned, holding the duck in the air.

Of course, the girl would never do something to it.

She wasn't mean!

But the plan seemed to work. Hehe.

"MISTER DUCKLES, EH?" The name was cute. But she honestly thought the duck was a girl. Sorry, duck. "That is so sad. Your hero. I might just give him to those poor, poor orphans." See? She was nice. This duck could have been someone else's hero! MF! Now he was jumping. "Jump, boooooy." She only cackled and then moooooootioned to throw the duck up in the sky. His hero could be flying! How nice she was.

"Big brother? Don't lie to me, Rossy! YOU OBVIOUSLY KNOW THE SECRETS TO THE TREE LANGUAGE. You do," but she immediately grabbed the duck back from her hands and hugged it. "Ah, those orphans will love it!"

Marie was out wandering around the grounds hoping to run into a certain someone seeing if the grounds keeper had added anything new this term when she heard a interesting conversation going on.

Someone was talking about marriage and kids... and being in love.

Looking over to see who it was she couldn't stop herself from laughing when she seen that it was none other than Carter's girlfriend Caroline sitting there.

Making her way over to the girl and her friend she was still laughing when she stopped in front of them. "I hope you aren't planning on Carter falling in love with you any time soon. He's already in love with me someone else."

Penny giggled as Alec rambled on. She found it quite endearing actually. He was cute. She found herself fiddling with her hair as he talked about it.

Most girls didn't like red hair, most wanted auburn hair or blond even. Not her. Penny liked her red locks. Her Grandpa always said her hair reflected the fire within. She liked that. "Thank you." She breathed.

Penny spent a few moments fumbling for something to say finally though she managed. "So it seems we both had the same idea." She gestured to the books in his arms and then held up her own book.

Caroline seen a blonde girl making her way over to where her and Kita were sitting. As the girl got closer she recognized the face as one of Carter’s ex girlfriends. Marie. The two had talked once just in passing during a Quidditch match last term. Where Marie had made a smart comment about what she wore that day to support Carter during the match. The hat was pretty awesome, and didn’t give a crap about what she thought about it.

Raising an eyebrow when she realized that she had stopped right in front of them. What on earth did she want? Oh, she realized that Marie must have heard her telling Kita that she was in love with Carter. That would be the only reason why she would even stop to talk to her.

Yep, she had heard. Eavesdropper. Who did she think she was? She glared at her for a moment, as a smirk traced across her face. “Really? What makes you so sure of that?” Sure, like she believed that. She rolled her eyes. Whatever. What was she playing it though, “ Who? You? Are you that delusional to think that he still loves you or something? ” Did she not have anything else better to do?

Bahahahahahaha

Marie didn't miss the look of shock on Caroline's face when she stopped in front of her and announced that Carter was in love with someone else. "Oh I know for a FACT that he is still in love with ME and I can prove it." Taking out her wand she pointed it towards the castle. "Accio note from Carter!" Within seconds the note that Carter had written to her professing his love to her was in her hand.



"I believe you will find this rather interesting. This is a note Carter gave me at the end of last term... I believe AFTER he had started dating you." Okay, so it fell out of his book and she picked it up... but he had no problem telling her it was true when she asked him about it.

Holding the note up she read it out loud making sure to put emphasis on the word LOVE every time he wrote it. Once the whole letter had been read out loud she once again laughed. "I think the only delusional one here is YOU if you think Carter will ever love you. Face it girly. He's in love with me, NOT you."

Folding the note she put it in her pocket. "One word that word being YES from me and he'll drop you so fast you'll think you've been hit with a bludger."

Turning to continue her walk around the grounds she looked back over her shoulder. "Let me know how things go when you tell him you love him." With that she left still laughing at the thought of that girl thinking Carter would ever fall in love with her.

Nika wondered out on the grounds continuing her little walk around the school. She wanted to say a good hello to Hogwarts before things started to get crazy. Call her crazy but she missed this place over holiday. "Hello Whomping Willow!" She waved to the dangerous tee as she took a few steps back. Even though this tree hadn't ever been the friendliest Nika just couldn't leave it out of her little "hello Hogwarts walk". Besides all trees need love right?

After walking around most of the grounds Nika decided to take a break. Of course she ended up right in front of the most dangerous tree in Hogwarts, or probably the world unless aliens have killer trees too. She shrugged it off and sat as far away from the tree as possible. She laid out in the green grass and sighed as the cool grass touched her cheek. "Now this is why I loved it here so much."

Elyon was sitting up against the trunk of the Whomping Willow, not something most people would do. But the twelve year old girl trusted the tree. She didn't hurt it, and it didn't hurt her. They weren't exactly friends, but they were allies. They looked out for one another. The Whomping Willow had a good aura, it's vibe very inviting. The young Gryffindor didn't understand how people could judge such sweet, loving things. Though the Whomping Willow's record wasn't exactly clean.... she looked past it. They could maybe be friends one day.

She looked up from her book, not noticing the concerned shouts and stares coming in her direction. Her bright blue eyes were focused on a little pink head sitting faaaar away from her. Nika! Elyon waved frantically, wondering if she'd see her. It didn't seem to be working, so the little girl pulled out her wand and sent a harmless spark in Nika's direction to grab her attention.

Nika stared up into the clouds and let her day dreams come to life, so to speak. She was dreaming of her later days at Hogwarts. Hoping that maybe one day she would get to acquire a prefect badge. She thought about the ship that had mysteriously landed and also about some of the strange new professors. Like SHAW. Weird guy he is not to mention he's completely mental that one.

She was almost lost in her dreams when a sudden spark drew her back to Earth. Back to her spot on the grass. "EEEP!" She let out a small squeal as the spark lit up in front of her face. She jumped instinctively and looked around. It's not like the spark came out of no where. Scanning the crowds she noticed something unusual. Someone sitting in front of the willow. "ELYON!" Ah, that explains it. She ran forward and stood a safe distance from the tree because she falls enough on her own anyways no need to take an even bigger risk. "Hiya!"

Oh she knows for a fact? Well then she was obviously miss informed and needed to get those facts straight. Caroline watched as she pulled her wand out and summoned a letter from Carter. She listened as Marie read the letter. Did she really think that Caroline believed this bull? Because she didn’t. Caroline wondered what her point was, by reading the letter out loud in the first place. She was well capable of reading the letter herself.

How could anyone ever be in love with her? “Oh, yeah. If he is so in love with you. Why am I the one with him?” They had been broken up for how long, when they first met. It wasn’t like she had ran after him first, he had asked her to the tea party last term. He was the first one that wanted to get to know each other. She just merely admired him from a far for a while.

This didn’t change anything about the way she felt about Carter. If she wanted her to run away and cry, then she would have to try harder then some letter.

After she was finished reading the letter she started clapping. “Good show, good show."She was temped to shout for an encore but she didn’t want to hear it again.

One word? Yeah. Whatever. She had one word for her. “Yeah, mmmm Whatever. Why would he drop me and go running back to you?”
Caroline stood up and ran after her. She called out to her. “You don‘t scare me, Marie. Not one bit.” She knew what she was trying to do. She was just stirring up trouble between her and Carter. She wasn’t going anywhere. This letter wasn’t going to bother her. “Don‘t worry I will tell you. And I‘ll make sure you‘ll never forget it.”

Jamie Keaton had heard regular thumping and rustling coming from this direction. And he was very pleased to have found the source. The Whomping Willow! The third year sat down on the grass, but every time the tree moved, the boy flinched and shuffled back a bit. For all he knew, it could burst with massive human arms and grab him. He had said it before and he would say it again; The wizarding world was too unpredictable.

Finally getting at a safe distance away from the Whomping Willow, Jamie casually got out a notepad and started doodling on it. Ohhh, the fun life he led!

Doodling was a part of his day. Although most of it was left for class.

They can go to the ship? Really? Heather beamed. If some students and professors can go to the ship, then that means, it's not completely out of bounds at all-AND VERY SAFE TO GO.

She can write back to her mom and say that it was VERY safe to go on that ship.

But, she wanted to go now, and the way William spoke, it's as if he wanted to go as well.

"William, would you like to come explore the ship with me then?" she asked.

Alec noticed Penny fiddling with her hair as he rambled on. Yes, he had been right he definitely needed to be quiet. The last thing that he wanted to do was bore her to death.

He was glad that she hadn't been offended or anything by the comment that he had made about her hair. Alec really was fascinated by it. Her bright red locks were beautiful.

And then came that moment of awkward silence. Just as Alec was about to ramble on some more to break the silence she spoke again. He laughed lightly and nodded his head. He looked at the book that was in her hands and then a smile spread across his face. "It seems like you and I have the same taste in books" he told her with another nod of his head. The book in his own arms was in Italian, one of Lucy's that he had brought from home.

" Yes, some of ths students are on board the sship now" William told Heather." Well, it should be safe, but us Gryffindors are brave" William said to Heather." I would love to explore the ship with my cute friend" William explained to Heather.

Penny smiled blushing slightly as he mentioned their shared taste in books. She looked down at the book he was holding pondering at it's title. Her own was in english and it took a moment for her to realize that Alec's was in a different language. Surprise lit her features. "Is that italian?" She was immensely impressed and a little intimidated.

Penny had been raised by her grandparents so english was the only language she knew. Though she she sometimes wished she could speak another language. The red head found it amazing that her new friend could read a book in another language.

Of course she was her best friend, Caroline grinned at her. "Good, You better let me have a part in it." She really needed to help Kita find a boyfriend. She smiled. She was worried because she hadn't talked much about findinf out about being adopted. "How's the adopted thing going for you?" They really hadn't talked much about it in a while.

If only Kita would have asked her what was going on with her with and how she was, sooner the answer would have been Great, nothing really the samethings. But at the moment Marie was standing in front of them. Oh boy what did she want.

After Marie had made her little speech and started to walkd off Caroline turned and gave Kita a seriously look. "I'll be back." She got up and ran after Marie. She wasn't going to let this go so easlily.

Kita started laughing. "Course! You'd be the first one to get the invite!" she said, grinning. Ok, parents should be the first ones to get the invite but seeing as she didn't have any of those... She shook her head. NO! She wasn't going to let something like that bring her down. Nuh-uh! And then Caroline went into that side of her past. Or was it present? "Well.. my adopted mother keeps on trying to make out that everything's ok," she whispered, trying to keep her voice calm, "And yeah, i don't know if i want to find my real parents yet or not..."

Kita was just about to ask Caroline something when a blonde figure came up and... WHAT?! Did she just- Kita's jaw dropped. Did she really just say that?! The brunette was secretly glad she didn't know this girl who had just come out of nowhere and claimed that Carter didn't love Caroline; someone as rude as her isn't worth knowing.

But the girl was still confused so she turned to look at Caroline only to find that... why was the girl giving her a serious look? Oh right. Not everyone makes jokes or weird comments out of serious situations like Kita did because they actually had some sense. Yeah... Kita smiled reassuringly at Caroline and nodded.
