Justin looked over at Ame and Minnie still displeased with himself and said, " Ame, he was telling lies and talking badly about Minnie. I had had enough of his crap a few weeks ago in the library. So, I went to confront him about what he had been saying and at first I pulled my wand. Then I decided that I wasn't going to attack him and I began to walk away. As I walked away he started running his mouth calling me foul names...along with calling everybody else in our group names. Ame, I lost it. I ran back and clobbered him and bloodied his nose. "
Justin hung his head in shame, " And even after I punched him he still ran his mouth so I punched him again. ... I wasn't the only one who hit him. Ronnie clocked him a few times too. "

... well. There was the proof that Sammy should be completely in charge of Amy's love life, and that she should make ALL the plans around here because no one else seemed to think properly when they were coming up with plans so obviously the duties should be put in Sammy's hands where they belong. When Amy finished talking there was a small Amy Pond in the back of her mind going, and also penguins doing this which probably wasn't the best influence for Sammy at the moment. So she went against what Amy Pond and the penguins were telling her to do and didn't whack Amy. "So, you didn't like him until you started going out with him and now you like most likely only because you're going out with him, but the original plan was to make Everett jealous which worked out so well for him?" she asked, because that probably wouldn't sound reasonable if she was angry so she had to make sure that was what Amy meant.

"Just be thankful I didn't pull this out" she said pulling her replica of 11's screwdriver out of her pocket before putting it back "it's always appropriate to make Doctor Who references" she added as she did so

Minerva got up and put Dashi down. She went over to Justin and hugged him. "It's over what's done is done. We will deal with whatever happens when it happens as friends." As she said this she looked back at both Ame and Alyssa not just meaning what happened with the most recent incident, but meaning everything and anything that has happened this term and any terms to come. They were all great friends and all will stick together through everything.

Well, I liked him, but as a friend Amy clarified, nodding her head maniacally, but now I like him in a more than a friend sort of way, she continued, still nodding, hair flying all over the place like a mad moulting dog. Essentially she nodded finally. Because, now it twigged to her, that her plan was not a good plan. Not in one bit.

Amy wasn't impressed. How much did you pay for that? She asked, shaking her head. It didn't even look real, it just whizzed a lot

" Thanks, Min. That means alot to me to know you've got mt back as well. And for what it's wortrh... I really am very sorry. " Justin said as he hugged Minerva back.

She smiled at him, then looked to Minnie.
Ame stood, Dashi taken by surprise as she clawed Amethyst's left leg. She yelped slightly, but knew it was an accident. "Yeah! We gotta stick together. And I mean everyone! Harvs, Ronnie, Alyssa, Minnie, Justin, Dashi, and Ame. And who else we gain." Her unhurt arm in the air. "Oohrah!" She giggled, blushing.

Justin just smiled at Amethyst as she did a little fist pump. " You are too cute sometimes , Ame. " said Justin as he tinkled her a little.

Minerva gave a weak smile. She love her friends. "Group hug, get over here Alyssa your stuck with us!!" Minerva hugged all her friends and then said. "I am sorry I drug you all into this mess. If you all would hate me I would understand, but I'm glad you don't."

" Minnie, I made the choice to get involved on my own. Besides it was the honorable thing to do. Even if I do get in trouble. You're not responsible for what I did. ... I am. " Justin reassured her.

She giggled, and pulled Dashi up, as she sat on Ame's shoulder.
Amethyst hugged then chuckling. She loved this. First set of friends she ever had. And she was proud to claim them.
She smiled at him, "Wellheart, you're a good kid." She nodded.

Justin smiled at Ame. " Well, my mum raised me properly. Not to mention I have great friends to keep me in line. Everyone one here is very speial to me. And includes you, Alyssa. We're all very happy that you decided to stay."

Minerva just hugged her friends. She was not going to let anyone get hurt by her stupid mistakes and choices in wackos. She was feeling better, but she was ready for summer to come.

Gosh. Summer was fast aproaching, and she was ready. Perhap "Starr" would learn to keep his mouth shut. No one had seen Ame upset before. Maybe in the later terms? "So, what's planned for summer, everyone?"

" Well, there is the dinner party that my mum is putting on for all of us. It is scheduled for the day of our return in London. If your parents would like to attend they are more than welcome. It's going to be alot of fun. So, I'd send a letter to them asking permission now. If you need to spend the night there are plenty of guest rooms to accomodate you and your family. " Justin said with a smile.

" When we arrive home my mum has plans for us. After that we've been invited to Harvey's house to stay for a few days with his family. Not to mention you and I can paint London red. It'll be a blast."

Minerva thought about summer and all the plans she was suppose to have. "Well I have my dance competition that will take up most of my summer. Then I did tell Harvs I would try to visit. I am spending some time with my grandparents in the Wizarding world. So I would love to come visit, but I don't know when that will be. I will let you know."

Ame smiled then curled up as her thoughts went down hill. What if Mama Wellheart didn't like her? What if Kyle suddenly disliked her? What if Justin stopped loving her? Summertime equals Summerlove. Diagon Alley would be filled with single soon-to-be Second years. She looked around at all the girls. Her heart stopped as she thought of the possiblities. She stood, her face the palest white, a scared expression fixed on her face. She shook her head, backing towards the door. She ran out of the common room, unsure of her destination.

" Wow! It does sound like alot to do in a short amount of time. Well, the offer remains open." Justin smiled. " Do you have any competions near London? I'm sure Ame would love to accompany me to one of them."
As Justin was talking Amethyst flew out of the commonroom. He had to follow her. She ws frail and he knew she needed him.
" Excuse me I'll be back in a moment." said Justin as he excused himself from the conversation.

Of course I don't mind! :glomp!:
 

The argument betwixt the younger Hufflepuffs wasn't all that hard for Damien to drown out. With in minuets of their unfurling drama, the boy dug in his newly acquired messenger bag for the small, red lether bound book he purchased in Daigon Alley this past Summer Holiday. A few passages of information had caught his attention and had been underlined, circled boxed -- anything to draw Damien back to those words to get his mind chruning again.

Not that he wanted it to do so --

And then someone spoke his name. None of the first-year dramatics knew who he was and the female voice could only belong to one of three he knew form his house. Turning up from his book he saw Ness' arms wrapping around him, Damien still in his seated position in the chair. He smiled and hugged her back as the book sat in his lap.

Leave it to the sweet Hufflepuff to ask him what was wrong. The girl put everyone before herself. Damien had to give her credit -- he'd never been like that for anyone. Even Isobel. With somethings, sure -- she always came first. But nine times out of ten, Damien wouldn't really notice whose feelings were being put first and whose were getting left behind.

"I haven't seen you in a while," he commented, Irish accent very noticeable. "And you're already trying to fix what's wrong." Damien smiled up in her direction before closing the book and putting it back in the messenger bag. "With me, my dear," he began, "What's wrong with me is always the usual -- and I'm not quite sure I'm ready to let you in on all that yet."

Probably not the kindest thing to say to her, having not seen or spoken to her in quite a while. But Ness and Damien really did have a knack for having good conversation. He trusted her.

But he didn't want to scare her.

"What just happened there? I guess I've got a lot of catching up to do,"Alyssa smiled back at Minerva as she kept a look out for a certain somebody.

Sammy stared at her friend with her 'you're truly an idiot' face. What did people do in their spare time around her? Stuff pretzels in their ears? "And you thought that would work?" she asked, she had to make sure that Amy's stupid plan was the actual plan and she wasn't just lying or joking or something stupid like that. She didn't think Amy would make it all up, but she wasn't taking any chances.

Sammy shrugged, before pulling it out to examine it again "dunno, Katie bought it for me for my birthday" she said pressing the small button on the side causing a green light to nearly bloody blind her and she quickly turned it off.

Grinning a little Ness smiled back at Damien. He didn't understand that he was like one of her big brothers did he? Of course she wanted to fix what was wrong, that was if he allowed her to. He had been there for her last year, when she needed someone he was there. She continued looking at him and noticed that he was holding a book in his hands, but just as she wanted to ask what it was she saw him packing it away. She knew he was just being polite, but she was quite curious about that book. She tried to ignore it and instead waited for him to speak only to see Lyssie walk over. Wait how did Lyssie know who Damien was? Ness raised an eyebrow at Alyssa rather confused, she even knew what Damien's name was. Maybe she had overheard Ness greeting him.

She watched as Lyssie continued talking but then...left? Okaaayy that was a little strange Ness thought to herself. She then turned back to Damien waiting for him to tell her what was wrong. Oh..wait he wasn't going to tell her. Ness frowned at this she felt as though he didn't trust her but to be honest she couldn't blame him if she didn't. She wasn't the greatest of friends and she herself found it very hard to trust people especially after what had happened to her. She also found it hard to become really close to someone, she was always afraid she'd loose them like she lost her best friend.

"Oh I err..understand" she said not really understanding. She was confused, and she was being her curious self. She wanted to help him, she really did but he wasn't opening up to her. She pouted, it was usually what she did when she was thinking. Why wouldn't he open up? Maybe it was something really bad that he thought no one could know about. "I hope..its..er..not too bad." She said trying to be nice to him at least.

"Honestly I'm not really sure." Minerva said as she sat back down. "Alyssa I'm so glad you stayed. How are you feeling?"

Aaron entered the common room, dragging his book bag behind him. He did not like studying. When he was done with Hogwarts he would NEVER read a book again. Unless it was some cool book, maybe.

He flung himself into a chair and looked around the common room before getting a packet of crisps out of his bag. He spotted Alyssa and Minerva sitting a bit away and waved at them, almost flinging his packet of crisps over to them.
Aaron thought of how happy he was that Alyssa had decided not to leave Hogwarts after all.

" Hey, Aaron. How've ya been? I haven't seen you in ages." said Justin as he walked back into the commonroom and sat in his favourite armchair.
