Ronnie laughed. "Of course..." she said smiling. "It's alright. The only good part is seeing my mates." she said laughing.

" Water today for you?" William asked Alex. " You sure love reading" Willaim told Alex. " I prefer to eat when I am eating places" Willaim said to Alex.

" Do not worry about how long" Willaim told Minerva. " I am sorry your drink spilled" William said to Minerva." In Transfiguration, you know I am frustrated, well bored doing the same old spell nor having fun in there and I just wanted to be a man in getting my snake being that I am in Gryffindor, can't be scared" Willaim explained to Minerva. " You have een pretty cold to me not just in classes but a few other places" Willaim sighed.

"Who cares about the house you are in. I think it's more important to act yourself then act like something you feel you have to be." Minerva told William. "I just wasn't sure how to take you lately. In class you act like well a little full of yourself and then you come in the middle of a conversation and accuse me of things. What am I suppose to do act like I did something wrong? Harvey is my friend if that is a problem you need to say something." Minerva wasn't upset with William, but she did want to get to the bottom of his change in personality all the time.

" I wanted to be less scared and more confident in Transfiguration class" Willaim told Minerva." Gryffindor is a tradition of all the men in our family, even ones married into our family" William said to Minerva." I just get the feeling that Harvey does not pay enough attention ro Ronnie or does not want to work with her in class, just you" Willaim explained to Minerva. " If Witsy is around, my attention would be with you and in class, she would not partner with us nor would I come to be with her all the time" he explained to Minerva." DADA bores me doing nothing and I did not mean yo hurt Alyss'a feelings, but the professor said work with older students" he said to her. " We could have lsot points for our houses" he told her.

Flying...Kurumi sort of shivered at the mere thought of it. Her stomach instantly tied in knots and any hint of a smile she had had was gone an replaced with a sort of sickly one. Selina knew that Kurumi never had confidence on a broom and it had taken her an entire year being a Seeker to gain enough confidence to even consider calling herself a flyer. But, that wasn't enough. Top marks on assignments? Done. Top of Gryffindor house for what looked like the fourth term in a row? Yep. In the whole school? Yeah, she could handle that if she applied herself to her studies. Gobstones? She was fair at that. But Seeking...well...Kurumi was pretty sure that she wasn't Gryffindor'S best option. She had only caught it twice and had yet to win a match for her team. The pressure was too much and everything had come crashing down, literally, after their last match of the season. Her confidence? Yeah, it was in pieces in her trunk beside the splinters that remained of Simon's broom.

"Yeah...flying...you like that a lot...you should do that..."

Future Mr. Hollingberry? Who was Selina talking about? The now FOURTEEN year old had never met Kurumi's brothers, so she supposed her friend wasn't talking about them. None of them were married yet, although one was getting close, and Kurumi didn't really consider anyone a mister until they were married. Unless...Selina was talking about her father, but there was no future needed. Confused, Kurumi sipped on her pumpkin juice and looked at Selina. "Um...fine?" she sort of asked. They were talking about her father, right? "He...um...left the Daily Prophet and is back in Japan now working for the Ministry..."

Minerva shook her head. The paying attention thing again she thought. "Well if you haven't noticed Ronnie is hardly in any classes we are in. I just asked Harvey what classes she does take, because I never see her. Plus him and Justin are my best friends of course they are going to speak to me in class and out of class. As for Alyssa once the older students went to play the game the professor said for us younger students to help each other. So she was doing what the professor said."

She shouldn't have mentioned flying. Selina knew that without a shadow of doubt in her mind. There was so much doubt in Kurumi's own flying ability now for the girl since their previous game. Kurumi had been hard on herself. That much everyone knew about her, but why? Yes, things had not gone perfectly, but nothing ever did. However, Kurumi had always been somewhat fragile. Perhaps, that was the problem. When that broomstick shattered so did Kurumi's confidence in flying. Kurumi had attested all of her success in the game to that broom and now that it was crumpled all over the floor so was Kurumi.

So she decided to let this conversation pass. The girl did not need any other distractions. Kurumi was always a major priority in Selina's mind, so she did not mind looking out for her.

When Kurumi seemed confused by Selina's comment Selina laughed. It flew right over her head. Selina was teasing Kurumi about Jonathan and the girl didn't even realize that Selina was doing it. Selina shook her head with laughter and said, "I'm not talking about your brother Kurumi. I'm talking about Jonathan..."

Her brother? Well, that was nice to know that Selina wasn't talking about her brother because, well Kurumi wasn't either. "Actually I was talking about me fath---" but her speech was cut off when Selina spoke again and her cheeks turned an instant pink. "Oh...."

But...Mr. Hollingberry? Jonathan's last name was Kim, Shouldn't it be Mr. Kim? The cogs in Kurumi's head were not meeting as they should be, so she was having a hard time understanding what the whole future Mr. Hollingberry meant. Sure, Kurumi was a little guilty of writing Kurumi Kim on her parchment in class with some hearts around it here and there...

Oh...was THAT was Selina meant? Her cheeks flushed even more and her hands flew to them to cover them as best she could.

"J-J-Jonathan is fine. We mostly spend time together studying these days because of his OWLs. He did promise that he would make some special time for us on his birthday though." Did she wish that they were able to spend more time together that didn't involve textbooks? Of course. But, it was still nice that they could study together as they worked towards the same goal.

'Yeah, I agree, although, I do like Transfiguration!' Rose nodded. She loved it. And she was alright at it.

" No, I have never noticed Ronnie not in class" Willaim told Minerva." Yes. Justin and Harvey will talk to you in and out of classes" William agreed with Minerva. ' it is cool, I just got nervous that you did not like me anymore" William explained to minerva. " I aplogized to Alyssa and I did not hear the teacher say the younger students could work together" Willaim sighed.

Minerva smiled at him. "It's ok, just trust me a little more and stop assuming so much. If you are thinking something ask before jumping at me."

" I am asking from now on, trust me" Willaim yold minerva." i do not deserve you, but you are a great girlfriend to me" William said to Minerva. "So shall we eat?" William asked Minerva.

"Sure what's looking good?" Minerva scanning the table.

" I like this steak and baked potato with these string beans" Willaim told Minerva. " It looks like there are hamburgers, hot dogs, friench fries and salad, too" Willaim said to Minerva. 'What is your pleasure honey?" Willaim asked Minerva.

"Hmm" Minerva looked at all the food. "I think I will take a hamburger and french fries."

" Here you are dear" William told Minerva.He feels her plate with french fries, hamburger and a bun. Here is ketchup ,mustard, and mayo because I do not know what you like on yoru hamburger or if you use ketchup with yoru friends" Willaim expalined to Minerva.

"Thank you. Ketchup will be great for both my hamburger and fries." Minerva smiles at him. "Can you believe finals are so close? I am so nervous about all of them."

" Glad I could help you" William told Minerva. " Actually, I have done a couple of early finals" William said to Minerva." finals come very fast" Willaim explained to Minerva.

"Well I have so much work ahead of me. The studying has been crazy. I don't think I'm going to do well in Arithmancy it is really hard. Then there is my flying final."

"The only one I'm really into is Defense Against the Dark Arts." she said with a smile.

" Arthromancy does not loook good for me either" Willaim told Minerva. " Flying will be easy for me" William said to Minerva."So I guess yo uwill be in the libreary studying and I will not see much of you, right?" Willaim asked Minerva. " If you have a chance, I am going to watch the HufflePuff vs Ravenclaw Quidditch match and I hope you can make it so we can sit in the stands together' Willaim explained to Minerva.

"Yes I will be there. I am planning on you sitting with me. I am planning on changing my hair for the event." Minerva smiled at him. "Yes I will be in the library a lot, but I promise that I will be around to visit, plus if you want to join me to study you can. I think transfiguration will be easy, potions will be pretty easy as well."

" O sm scared of the library" Willaim told Minerva. " My freinds might think I actually studying" Willaim said to Minerva. " O may work hard in class and on my homework, but I prefer to be out on the grounds the whole time" Willaim explaine to Minerva. " I so not want to hurt yoru feelings, so how can we figure this problem out?" Willaim asked Minerva. "Did potions start?" Willaim asked Minerva. ' No one put it on our bulletin board." Willaim sighed.

"Oh no it hasn't started yet, I'm just thinking about it ahead of time. I understand the friend thing though. I didn't want people to know I was a bit of a bookworm either, but Harvs and Justin found me in my favorite spot the other night and then you came along. So I guess the cats out of the bag." Minerva smiled. "You know William you really need to stop worrying about what others think and do what you want." Minerva gave him a kiss on the cheek. "It's ok if you don't study with me I will understand."

" Glad potions has not started" William told Minerva." I know you are a bookworm now" William said to Minerva." I care what my girlfreind thinks and wants me to do" William explained to Minerva." Please try to make the match with me" Willaim smiled.
