"When I was around my aunt and uncle I did a lot of normal kid stuff but when I was around my parents it was way more strict" she said. That explained for her maturity level now. She had been around things that no kid should be around since her parents were dark wizards. At least she didn't have to be around that now. Shrugging them off her mind "But when I was six my uncle taught me how to play quidditch and my aunt taught me to play piano"

Ryan looked down at his feet and said''Theres something I have to ask you,do you want to get into something serious because I want to.''That was a question that Ryan didn't like to ask but had to ask.

Chelsea looked out the window then back at Ryan. Of course she wanted too but was a bit nervous because of how Scott just played with her emotions, but she trusted Ryan. "Yeah actually I do" she said looking at him.

''Really,because becasue,''He just couldn't get the words out of his mouth.''I thought that you might like to be my Girlfriend.''He had his bag ready to go if she didn't.

She took a deep breath then smiled. She wasn't about to make the same mistake like last time at the three broomsticks. "Of course, I would love to be your girlfriend" she looked at him smiling.

''That is terrific.''He leant forward and hugged her.''So do you have a favourite colour.''

She hugged him back. "Uhh..I guess green" she said. How ironic she was a Slytherin and her favorite color was green. "What about you?"

''Well Gold and Red.''I guess he Liked Gryffindor because they were his favourite clours.

Erin felt Sky's hands clinging in her arms. She was scared...and shivering. She held her hand in her hand so that they could face the monster together. At least, if it came out, Sky wouldn't leave her running outside.

They jumped together as they heard the door behind them closed. For an instant, she clutched Sky's hand tighly but softened as she raised her wand arm and muttered, "Lumos!"

"Ow!" squealed Erin. She saw something up in there. Quite the level of her height. That was the very thing she was thinking of before going inside. She needed to buy her cat Louisa a cat food. Maybe, this place was where the genie lives. "Do you think there is a genie in here?"

She was so happy to be with Ryan he was such a sweet boy. Hopefully her aunt and uncle would like him too. "I can't wait to hear the song you wrote for me" she smiled.
Chelsea was not looking forward to the summer at all. "So does your family have plans for the summer?" she asked curiously. Even though summer was still awhile (about 6 months?) away she knew it would go by fast. It seemed like they hadn't been here that long and it was already past christmas, yeah it went by quick.

''Probably not,just afew quidditch games,how aboout with the song because i've nearly finished so i'll go finish it and meet you at lake later tonight.''

"Same here, I'll probably be going to the quidditch world cup with my aunt and uncle" she said. Maybe her aunt and uncle would let Ryan go with them so they could see each other during the summer. Hmm..she'd have to ask later.
"Ok I'll see you later at the lake then" she smiled and hugged him.

Sky saw something in the room, but she didn't think it was a lamp… "I don't think there's a genie in there…" she answered. Because to her, it looked like… a grandfather clock? She let go of Erin's hand to grab her own wand.
"Lumos," Sky said, and her wand lit. Yep, she had been afraid of a grandfather clock. "I wonder if it works like a time turner?" she said walking over to it.

Erin reached for her cat's food. She felt like it was reserved for her all along. At least, she could have something to give her EX-cat Louisa. She missed her already.

Cat food in a full container. That was awesome. Priceless! She smiled.

No genie? Sky was really someone who's not easily a believer. "I wished there was. I wanted to make a wish."

Then, Sky looked at the Grandfather's clock. "Doesn't it look too big for a time-turner?" If it was, then they were lucky.

"Only one way to see," Sky replied. And she opened the front of the clock to see…… nothing. It was oddly empty of not only it's mechanical parts, but of anything at all. Man, that was a let down. She'd been hoping some kind of historical figure would come out, like on one of the shows she'd watched when she was younger. Still, Sky walked inside and pushed on the back just to see… Hey! It was moving! "The back has a stuck door or something! Come help me move it!" she called out.

Huh so this was how things would have been if he had asked her to dance during the class, it wasn't awkward in any way which really hadn't been what Matt was expecting. Seemed kinda funny that a few weeks ago they hadn't even been talking to one another thanks to the damage that was caused due to the hate potion and now they were dancing together. So far so good huh, at least you haven't tripped over yourself and just make this go from being really nice to totally awkward in less than five seconds. "I sorta found it a bit amusing that the professors had to demonstrated how a waltz was supposed to look, honestly if I was looking to make a spectacle of myself.. I could have shown everyone. It wasn't like it was my first time dancing." Well that could have easily been figured out by anyone who had in fact watched his steps, it was very fluid and interesting in a couple of ways but people had always been surprised to just find out that fact that he knew how to dance to begin with. As they continued to move perfectly in time with the music playing, he couldn't help but feel a little weird; what was going on now?

Maybe things really were different between them, well he had sorta seen her as just more than his best friend at the school which she had had an idea of but things really had been weird somehow. Suddenly it all became perfectly clear to him, the question was if he was going to bring it up or not since it was going to probably make things quiet again. Don't even think about saying it, dude.. two words, bad idea. Regardless of his earlier thoughts, maybe she had a right to know what he was thinking. "I was wondering.. would you think it was weird if I told you that I wanted to kiss you." There now it was said, he wasn't sure whether to prepare for her to walk away or just not say anything; either way it was going to be bad for him.

Hmm, Stella couldn't help but think as they continued dancing, even as she also tried to focus on the conversation that was happening. Matt really hadn't been making things up when he'd said he knew how to dance, and to be honest, she had to admit he was definitely better than her. Of course, that wasn't near to being said, as the statement he'd made pushed the thought to the back of her mind. "Honestly?," she began. "I'm not exactly sure if the demonstration was for the students, or for the professors themselves. I mean, it kind of seemed like most of us were more familiar with the waltz than they were." Even if she liked both Professor Bentley and Monsieur Stryker, they'd both not really looked comfortable dancing, and she'd had a lot of time to watch them. What with not actually having gotten to practice herself during that lesson, unless she'd gone with her idea of an invisible partner. Practice probably would have helped with the situation right now, but at least she was managing to not let her former training down. With enough focus that she wasn't letting herself think of much else.

Like how kind of weird it was having Matt as close as he was right now. It was definitely easier to just concentrate on the dancing, even if she had to acknowledge that more of the awkwardness was because it really didn't feel that weird. They'd gotten past the hate potion, so maybe that really had meant something. She'd still been surprised when he'd spoken again, but it was an interesting surprise. Nowher enear a bad one, and she couldn't help but smile a little. "Are you asking for permission?," she replied, instead of answering his question. That was deifnitely a new experience, seeing as the last boy she'd let get close hadn't exactly been one to ask permission. Even if she'd managed to not let him get too far, with Risa's help.

It seemed like all his brain was going to focus on now was the fact that he might have gone a little overboard with the dancing here, which wasn't exactly true since it was pretty much like any other time that he had practiced; maybe the difference was the fact that this time he was dancing with Stella. Don't think about this anymore, just keep trying not to make a massive fool of yourself here since it's all going swimmingly right now. Wow.. was that actually helpful social commentary? "Hmm.. that is a good point, they did look really good together in any point." As far as he knew though, neither of them were single and it wasn't his business to know that.. even if they were, he wasn't playing matchmaker since that really would have been weird. At least Raven's not involved here, you know how bad that would end up being right? Of course it would be bad, any time relationship matters were left to his cousin; she really made a mess of things and then he ended up being involved. "I've got a random question here, merely out of curiosity's sake; when is your birthday?" Clearly he wanted to know that so he could plan a little something, obviously it wasn't going to be unnecessary since he wasn't the type to do that.

After she spoke again, he couldn't help but stop all thoughts and just look at her for a second before he decided to speak again; huh that definitely wasn't what he thought that she was going to say but it had made things all that much more interesting. "Umm.. maybe? I guess I thought that I should have asked before since I didn't want to make things awkward with us again. The past few months have been practically a roller coaster and it's made me realize that what we have here is more than just friendship. Even if this doesn't amount to anything." In the end, the truth was that he wanted her to be his girlfriend; of course he wasn't about to say that since it would probably come out wrong and just really cause things to be weird which wasn't what he was looking to have happen.

Isobel was exhausted. She had climbed up all of those stairs. Those Slytherins had better be happy, since it was just for them. Actually, they probably wouldn't be happy, considering she was hugging them, and they tended not to like that. Maybe they should. Everyone should like hugs, even Slytherins. Especially Slytherins. That one Slytherin did, the one Isobel did not know the name of. She would have to figure that out.

At least her trip to the very top of Hogwarts hadn't been for nothing. There were two Slytherins going in to the Room of Requirement. She had to catch them before they went in! She ran over to them and hugged both of them. Hey, one of them looked familiar, something to do with Maybelle maybe. Oh well, she had no idea. "Carry on with your lives," Isobel told them, then she ran away yelling, "NINE!"

Sky spun around when she felt someone hug her. "DON'T HUG ME!" she screamed after the girl. She raised her wand and sent a stinging hex after her. Really, what was her problem? Didn't she know that you didn't go around hugging random people. Sky hoped her hex had hit. It would teach the girl a lesson, if brain wasn't addled. Which it had to be she was hugging random people.

That hadn't even occurred to Stella, although as she thought about what matt had said, the idea that it might have just been the distraction of the dance keeping her from having thought of the idea. Either way, she blinked before replying. "I hadn't even said anything like that. Just that neither one of them looked like they were exactly comfortable being told to teach us all how to dance," she pointed out, still trying to concentrate on the dance steps so she wouldn't get lost. But then, at least she wasn't having to deal with leading, which was totally appropriate for the waltz. Of course, it seemed liek Matt wasn't really thinking a lot about leading either, and she'd given him a curious look as he came out with another question. Why does he want to know when my birthday is?, she wondered, even as she decided it didn't really hurt to tell him. Friends knew each other's birthdays, after all, and he was that if not more. "My birthday is in the end of July. The 20th, actually. Why?" She couldnt help but ask, even as she had an inkling that he wasn't going to tell her. Maybe it really had just been a random question, even if it was an odd choice.

Of course, any possibility she could distract herself from how close she was to Matt, due to the dancing, was shattered by his other question. The one she'd outwardly brushed off, even teased him a little about, but that had actually really and truly surprised her. She'd meant her question, though, as Ethan had never really asked. That just, really, explained why she was even contemplating getting back into anything; the fact Matt was nothing like her ex. And his answer did amuse her a little, even through the awkwardness of the moment. What he'd said made sense. "Why do we need to wonder if this will amount to nothing? Maybe it actually will mean something," she pointed out softly. If whatever they had was more than just a simple friendship, which she'd suspected even before the hate potion incident, then as far as she could consider, there wasn't a point in destroying it before it actually was anything. But then, she was confusing herself with her internal debate, and even trying to focus on the waltz again wasn't working. Hopefully Matt would understand what she was trying to say, and it wouldn't get even more confusing.

Kelsey was just waddling around when she heard something.She only heard one word: Girlfriend. She instantly knew it was Chelsea. "My,My Chelsea. Attracting many, many boys, aren`t you?How do you do it?"Kelsey gave her a playful smile and kept it.

There was something inside the clock that was moving. That made Erin jumped backward. She knew from experience, moving parts that shouldn't be moving at all were dangerous.

But, wait! Was she a witch or something? She always forgot that part of her life now. It was just that, she hadn't gotten used to it yet. Returning toward Sky's side who was busy studying the insides of the grandfather clock, she noticed something, there was an elf figure on the stuck door behind.

Ow! They were moving it? Help? "Okay," Erin answered. She positioned her wand on the ready. Then she noticed, Sky wasn't doing the same thing. Erin moved backward a bit and muttered in a sharp voice, "Locomotor clock."

Chelsea looked up and sure enough it was one of her fellow Slytherins. Guess I can't have any privacy she thought to herself. "Hi Kelsey" she smiled. She knew Kelsey was joking with her like Raven had also done. "Its my charm" she laughed jokingly. She really didn't see herself as anything special. "Honestly though, I'm not sure. I don't even talk to many boys, just Ryan and my friend William" she said to Kelsey. She didn't want her friend to think anything bad about her. After all she really didn't talk to many boys. And she hadn't even been thinking about dating. But there was just something special about Ryan.

"Well duh. Your last name is charm, so I can`t entirely blame it on you.No offense to you, Chelsea, but you must be a boy magnet. And good ones, too, for that matter."She was stunned by her friend and her gorgeous looks. "I`ll mett up with you in the common room. Gotta go to the restroom."And with that, she gave her friend a warm hug but a I will see you later look. Then, Kelsey skipped of to the bathroom.
