"Oh.." Ronnie said. "Hey, it's fine. Don't worry about it. We all joke about things. I'll just have to get you back, cutie." she said grinning. She smiled as he rubbed her neck. "Oh yeah, that does feel better." she said smiling at him. He was so sweet.

"Oh yeah you can get me back anytime. I just dont like you being in pain." he said to her as continued to massage her neck. "Just let me know when it stops hurting." he said continuing his massage.

Blink.

That was a completely unexpected reaction. No, really. Did it matter that Ronnie hadn't remembered OWLs? The only reason they were on Ellie's mind was because her mom had been on her about them since the beginning of summer. And then moreso over the holidays. But even with the Ravenclaw fully aware of the exams, she still wasn't any more prepared for them than Ronnie was. Actually, Ronnie could very well be more prepared than her.

"It's okay. We still have MONTHS before the actual exams..." So really, she could calm down.

Ellie was also standing now, though. Ronnie's freakout made her uncomfortable. Plus, the redhead wasn't very fond of looking up at people.

Ronnie smiled. "Aww" she said. "Don't worry, I'm not in too much pain!" she said shaking her head, yet again her neck popped. "Blimey, something's wrong with my neck I think." she said grimacing.

Harvey was now more scared than ever, what if she had to go to the Hospital Wind because of a stupid joke, but he continued massaging her neck "hopefully this massaging will make it feel better, otherwise I will have to escort you the hospital. I hope not though." he said as he continued to get her neck to being painless instead of painful. He had his concentrating face on as he worked on her neck

Veronica's heart was bonding. She was freaking out....she had forgotten about the most improtant exams of her life...well minus the NEWTs. But Ellie was right. There was still time to catch up on the studying. She sighed and tried to lower her heart rate and slow her breathing.

"Sorry about that." Ronnie said turning back toward Ellie after she had calmed down a bit. Her chest was still heaving with the excitment of what had just happened, but at least she could feel that her heart wasn't about to jump right out of her chest and onto the grass. "It's just with my dad and everything, I sort of forgot about school all together." Ronnie addmitted and looked down at the ground.

Had she really just admitted to this girl she barely knew that she was depressed for months at a time? Stupid Ronnie!!!

"Yeah, hopefully." she said feeling a bit scared inside but she felt ten times better when Harvey looked at her. She smiled.

After a while, she felt fine. "You can stop now, I feel perfectly fine." she said smiling. She moved her neck both ways, and it felt good. "Yup! I'm cured! Thanks, doctor Watson!" she said laughing.

Curious, it was, how one could live at school and forget about it. That was what Ellie hated about Hogwarts. Most people seemed to enjoy it, and they had good reason to. It was a huge castle, it was secluded, there was magic all around. But what Hogwarts was to Ellie was school. A huge, secluded school where she was surrounded by classrooms and teachers and work and homework that wasn't really homework since they never went home to do it. It could possibly be why the young girl spent so much time on the Quidditch Pitch. Quidditch was never school or work related to her. And it was definitely why she loved summer and the holidays. Getting away from school was always welcomed. She couldn't understand why Treyen would actually want to stay at school for the holidays was beyond her.

But she supposed that, when upset about something, you wouldn't really be aware of your surroundings. Aware that you were still at school. Unless Ronnie hadn't stayed at school. It was possible that she went home to spend time with her family after her dad's death, and was just now returning. Ellie really had no idea. And it wasn't really her place to ask, was it?

Anyway, Ronnie had apologized, and she really didn't need to. "Don't be sorry. It's understandable." Again, Ellie's world would end if her father died. She could hardly imagine it, and had no idea what Ronnie had gone through. But forgetting about school-work seemed to make perfect sense when put in that situation. "OWLs probably aren't as much to worry about as people like to make us think they are." It was probably a big conspiracy. "You'll do fine on them. I still haven't even started studying..." And she had nothing to worry about on top of the exams, so Ronnie should be fine. The Hufflepuff was probably smarter than her anyway.

They should probably talk about something else now. Get their minds off of exams. They were never a preferred subject. Or maybe, they could do something else. It was rather cold, by the way, and they'd been out here a while. "Do you want to go get some hot chocolate?" she asked, jerking her head towards the castle.

Harvey exhaled with relief when she said she was better. "Thank god!" he said, then he beamed when she called him Dr Watson. "No problem! oh I wanted to ask you. Do you want to come to my place this summer holidays. We have many other people coming over and my mom and dad would like to meet you." he asked her smiling

Ronnie smiled. "Of course, I'll have to check with Rupert. My parents are going on a trip to Australia for something so my brother is taking care of me while they're gone. My other siblings are going to my aunts." she said. "I'm sure it'll be fine with him, though." she said with a shrug.

"Ok cool, I will let my mom know. Oh er.. you might have to share sleeping space with Trinity, I dont know if you know her. She is....... William's cousin, is that ok with you?" he asked wanting to make sure it was ok with Ronnie. "She is staying over for the summer holidays, I have some muggle cousins coming to visit. So it is going to be crowded, so mom decided that we are going to have a camp-out in the house." he said explaining the situation "But yeah, check with your brother first, I dont want him knocking my door down looking for his sister" he said laughing.

Witsy strolled into the gazebo trying to balance her pack. Her egg has been off the wall so-to-speak. She managed to purchase a leash designed to hold this shape... hopefully. She hoped bringing him here would help his energetic needs

Rose strolled into the gazebo, smiling as she went. It was finally warming up, so she had decided to wear a dress. Then she saw her. Witsy. The latest girl of Starr's dumpees. The girl he had dumped for her... She still felt terrible about it. So, this could be her chance to apologise. Properly.

" How is your egg homework coming along?" William asked Witsy. " What did you name your egg again?"Willaim asked Witsy. " I bet you you will do great at your homework" William told Witsy. " By the way, I am glad we are still friends" William said to Witsy. " You are a very understanding girl" William smiled.

"Oh, that's fine by me!" she said smiling. "I don't mind." she said. "I'm sure Rupert wouldn't care. But I'll check with him, just in case." she said.

Harvey smiled "Oh good I am glad you dont mind. Oh sure of course, that is not a problem, well as long as he doesnt say no. Oh my that long a holiday without seeing you, that is horrifying!" he said smiling "IF he says yes this is going to be the best summer of my short life. well so far anyways." he smiled lovingly at Ronnie.

"Yeah." she said nodding. "Aww!" she said. "Then I'll make sure to tag along with my parents to Australia." she said grinning. "They're heading to Sydney, I think I'll enjoy it." she said teasingly. "JUST kidding! I don't think I could stand five days without you." she said truthfully, her cheeks and ears turning red as he smiled at her.

At first Harvey was shocked, Australia??!! he thought, but then he relxed when she said she was kidding. "Oh thank god! I dont think I can last EVEN that long without you. One day is TOO long let alone five." he said smiling at her. "How is Rose? She was really angry with me a few days ago, I just want to know that she is alright now." he said a little seriously.

Ronnie laughed. "Awww!" she said, throwing her arms around him and hugging him. She then let go when he mentioned Rose. "What?! What happened?!" she asked.

Witsy looked up noticing a the bottom of a dress swaying in the breeze. She looked up, "Hiya." The dress she was wearing was quite fitting for the weather. "Would you like to join me, this could be entertaining." She held the egg down with both her hands, "He's being difficult right now. Luckily I have this thing to strap it." She tried using her elbows to hold the egg while she used her hands to untangle the strap. "This may or may not work, but I'm willing to try. Have you completed your assignment?"

Witsy was on a new page of life. School was her priority and quidditch practice was next on her list. Getting to meet new people have been the best part of her week thus far. She hoped this lovely lady would be a new friend.

She let go the strap, "Sorry. I'm Witsy, I believe I've met you once before..." She held out her hand for a more formal greeting.

She was still fixing straps around it, but she couldn't manage to keep it still. "That's debatable." She said laughing. "I think it'll turn out okay. I love mysteries. Makes life a little more interesting. I can't wait to see what hatches from it. Have you found out yours?" She let hte leash go and it was like watching a ping pong ball on steroids. "Awesome!" She hoped this would tire him out. "I don't know his or maybe it's a her. I should give it a gender neutral name like... Aaron, what do you think of that?" Witsy smiled, "I'm glad we're still friends too, I couldn't see us not being being friends. How is Minerva doing?"

Harvey felt warm inside when she hugged him, and felt that warmness go when she let go, Harvey rubbed the back of his neck. "er... I did something that I probably shouldnt have done. You see I told Minnie that I would try and find out why you and Rose are a little tense around William. So when Rose wanted to talk to me I was like this is a good opportunity to find out why. Obviously I wouldnt tell ALL the details. I would just tell her a very very brief reason why there was some tension." he paused

Ronnie was probably going to get angry with him too after what he was about to say since Rose was her best friend. Would he have to lose a second girlfriend? But he carried on "So Rose told me the whole story of her and William, and then Minnie came along a little upset that we were talking about her at the v game. Rose heard me tell Minnie that I would tell her about Rose and William later. Rose got angry and pointed her Spork at me and then Minnie got angry and walked off. So because of all of this I nearly lost Minnie as a friend and I want to know how Rose is." he said worried what Ronnie would think of him now. "She is a great girl and does not deserve to be upset like that. So how is she?" he asked her.

Ronnie listened intently and nodded her head. She bit her lip. "Did you tell Minnie?!" she asked finally. "Oh, I think she's okay. I haven't seen her upset at all." she said shaking her head.

"No I didnt, she was quite upset too. I got her calmed down but she was upset with me, thinking that I was talking about her behind her back. Then..... William..... came along and I just left, I didnt tell her anything AT ALL!" he said emphasising the last two words. "I havent seen Minnie much since she started seeing William, so I havent talked to her much. So if you see Rose, tell her I am more than sorry and that Minnie hasnt been told a word of what she told me. Its good that you havent seen her upset at all. Maybe she will get upset at the mention of my name probably." he said smiling weakly.

Ronnie frowned. She hated to know the fact Rose was upset. "Okay, I will tell her." she said. "Aww, don't say that. I'm sure it'll be okay." she said reausurringly, giving him a hug.

Harvey returned her hug "Oh Rons I hope so. I dont want her to hate me like she hates William. She has been a good friend to me. First her mom and now this. How much more can that girl take." he said as he laid his head on her shoulder.
