Aaron smiled and held his hand out for a high-five from Oliver. Yes, the owl could do that. He was just that cool. 'He is huh?'
When Minerva admitted to being the first to have lost house points he barked a laugh, this was brilliant. It wasn't like they were ever going to win the cup <__< that hadn't happened since the dinosaurs were still around.
'It can't have been me,' Aaron shook his head, he hadn't lost that many points last term. Not that he had GAINED much either, but still!
'Thanks, and juuuust wait here.' Aaron jumped up and ran up to his dorm, where he snatched the hat and ran back down.

Back downstairs he held it out to Minerva, 'I put some cleansing spells on it, so it smells okay now.'
That hat sure got hot during the summer games. <__<

Aaron gave Alyssa a confused look, why was she sighing? .__. She liked hugs, didn't she? Everyone did, even Lafay she just didn't want to mention it...
No mention of the nickname? It sounded... cute. Lizards were cute, right? He'd kiss a lizard.
Which totally didn't sound weird, Aaron decided.
'I should go find a lizard and give it a smooch.' He thought out loud. Aaron grumbled, Y U NO be quiet brain?

He grinned at Alyssa as he hugged him again, giving her a bear hug. He liked her hugs.. Aaron squirmed uncomfortably when he felt an elbow being pushed into her stomach.
What was that foooor?! Aaron squeaked and let go, frowning slightly.
'Course it didn't hurt.' Aaron lied and smiled at Lyssard Lyssie, 'soooo... what's up?'

"Oh nothing much. Lost 5 points in class. Got detention for mouthing off. missed you like crazy, tried out for Quidditch but don't think that I made it into the team. Actually to be honest I LOVE lizards, just not being called one. Are you sure I didn't hurt you with my elbow. Let me check that I didn't leave a bruise." Alyssa told Aaron before she had another idea.

As she raised her hand, she quickly leaned up and gave him a quick welcome back kiss on his cheek, before she started digging her fingers into his sides and tickling the heck out of him.

Minerva just smiled when he said it wasn't him. She knew it wasn't him, but still funny to blame him. It was professor jerk who took her points for nothing not Aaron. Then he ran to his dorm, what was he doing she though. "OH MY, Are you serious. If I dont' make the team I'm wearing it all the time." she smiled so big and put the hat on her head. "How do I look?" she laughed.

"Fine, I guess." Siobian said, "I don't really pay that much attention... Not that I need to." She shook at the idea of flying, "If your into it, but I'd rather keep my feet on the ground."

ooc: different time line

Alyssa decided to start working on her Transfiguration Homework Assignment. She sat in front of the table next to the fireplace and took out a good quality piece of paper that she would be using to transform into a frame and some extra parchment paper out of her bag to practise on. Laying the good paper flat on the table in front of her, she sat down cross legged on the floor next to the table. She then took out some drawing pencils and before actually started drawing on the paper, she practised the various designs she would be using on the parchment paper.

She tried various designs before she finally decided on one. She took the piece of paper and placed it in front of her. She first drawing the decorations at the top. A small circle in the middle of where the top part of the frame would be. Then leading from the circle she drew a circle with a line first arching down before gradually arching back up. She then drew the same for the left side of the circle. She then duplicated the design for the bottom middle part of the paper, only upside down. Then she turned the paper to the left and duplicated the design on the top and bottom part of the paper. Now all four sides of the paper had the same design.

Taking out her wand, Alyssa looked at the design that she had drawn and as she traced a square on the piece of paper, she concentrated on the design as she said the incantation, "Statua Habitum". Immediately the paper she was holding in her hand changed into a picture frame. The design looked a little lob sided so Alyssa pointed her wand and said. "Reverto" she change the frame back into the paper with the designs drawn on them.

Aaron grinned, if even Alyssa had lost points and gotten a detention, it was bad. He'd watch out in class, maybe. 'There has to be a first time for everything, right?' He chuckled and then shook his head. Alyssa was a brilliant Quidditch player, she HAD to make the team. Also, she looked nice zooming across the sky. 'You'll make it,' Aaron said confidently.
He smiled when Alyssa mentioned that she DID like lizards. But... how could she not like being called lizard? 'But... they're cooool.' He tried. Lyssard. He'd keep the nickname..

'Course I have a bruise!' He put on a sad face and showed his side bruise-free, 'that was bloody torture!'
Wait... what? O_____________0 That was a kiss. o.O anditwasnice
He'd missed her, Aaron knew that. And he'd been a fool. But now she was giving him kisses and making everything weird again. Before he could think it over, Aaron kissed her.
Aaron smiled at Alyssa, before being disturbed by tickles. He fell to the floor, wriggling away on the floor to try and escape the tickles but laughing too hard to get anywhere.

Aaron chuckled, the badger head looked HUGE on her head. He gave her the thumbs up. 'Brilliant.' Now he'd just make another badger head, it'd give him something to do instead of homework.

Justin helped Minerva into their favourite chair in the common room and got her a glass of water and had her take a sip. " Min, How ya feeling now? " a worried Justin asked her as he knelt in front of her.

Minerva sat down and closed her eyes. She heard Justin tell her to take a sip of water. She reached to take the water and sipped at it. "I still feel horrible. I just feel so dizzy. I hate this stuff. What happened at the duck pond?"

" well, ya took your pills and Harv and I were talking and then you put your head on my shoulder.....then you just kinda passed out. Harv and I were gonna take you to the hospital wing. But just as we were coming into the castle you came to and asked that I bring you here." explained Justin as he smoothed her hair and kissed her forehead. " Ya really have me worried, Min...What triggered it do you suppose? "

Minerva opened her eyes wider in shock. "Passed out? I just felt horrible. I had my eyes closed trying to get the dizziness to go away like always and then I felt like I was going to be sick. I remember feeling hot, then the next thing you had me. I don't get it." she was still feeling a little ill. "Maybe I needed to eat something with the medicine or maybe I took it to soon." She shrugged not remembering at this point. Minerva found her bag and looked at the medicine it was still the same one she had been taking since her mom gave them to her.

Ella wondered what the girl meant about not needing to pay attention in classes. She decided not to question it. "Yeah, I guess flying isn't for everyone. I think I like it so much because I really can't believe I have the ability to do it." She smiled. "The only way I flew in the muggle world was by airplane."

Alyssa didn't know why she had kissed Aaron but it felt good. But she realized that she has just made their meeting up again awkward by doing that, so in order to cover up her impulsive kiss, she had started tickling him...only he had then turned around and kissed her back before wriggling on the floor laughing and trying to avoid her tickling fingers.

Alyssa was taken aback by Aaron's kiss. Even when they had been together, he had never kissed her. This was actually his first kiss. Alyssa blushed beet red and hoped that Aaron didn't notice how awkward she was feeling now and she continued to tickle him and laughing with him. "Admit that I'm the Queen of Ticklers and that say that you surrender and I will stop." Alyssa told him.

But then as Alyssa continued to tickle Aaron, she couldn't help remembering the kiss that Aaron had given her. A warm feeling came over her and without even thinking about the consequences, Alyssa leaned forward and kissed Aaron on the lips, lingering for a second before pulling back. It was then that she realized what she had done. She didn't want Aaron to think that she was coming on to him. She really didn't know what to do now.

Justin listened as Minerva recounted what she remembered what had happened. He nodded and said, " Yeah, I checked to make sure it was the same medicine as well. Do you want me to get you something to eat? I can get you anything you want from the kitchen? "

Minerva smiled "Maybe just some crackers or something. My head just feels so funny still." she laid her head back on the chair and closed her eyes. Happy to be in their chair.

Justin ran out to the kitchen and came back a few minutes later with the crackers she had asked for...Along with some peppermint tea. " Here, Min. I want you to drink this. It's peppermint tea and will help settle your stomach. As for that dizzy head of yours you can rest it on me. " He said as slid into the chair next to her.

Minerva smiled and ate some of the crackers and drank the tea. "Thank you Justin. I don't know what I would have done if I was alone when that happened." she leaned her head on his shoulder and closed her eyes trying to relax. "I think I need to get back in the potions lab for more calming potion. I broke my vial after my fight with Ame." Minerva just realized she didn't know if Justin knew about the fight...

" Your welcome, just relax and take a nap if you want. " He said as he set his chin on her head. " What fight? How come you didn't tell me sooner, Min?"
Justin was surprised that she hadn't mentioned this to him sooner. That wasn't like her to withhold stuff from him.

Minerva looked guilty at him. 'Well it was right before I saw you at the lake the day well we kind of made this official. I went to the great hall looking for her to make sure she was ok and then Harvey was there as well. I don't really remember everything, but I apologized for the kiss in here that she saw and she got into my face and kind of threatened. I don't know if she even meant for it to sound threatening, but she said just don't let it happen again. I don't know what happened, something in me just went nuts. I guess I had taken so many orders over the summer and was pushed around so much that I just couldn't take it anymore. I got up yelled at her to never get in my face again and to never tell me what I can and can not do. I left there and went to the corridor where I dropped my bag breaking the vial of potion. Then I came to the lake and saw you." Minerva looked away feeling bad she forgot to tell him about that.

Aaron grinned at Alyssa, he really had missed her. And not just as a friend.
He sat up, clutching his stomach as he recovered from the tickling. 'Have mercyyyyy, Queen of ticklers!' He cried out, fending off her attack.
Aaron peeked a look, still trying to get away from all the tickles it was impossible. Just then, Alyssa kissed him again. Aaron stared at her as she sat back again, feeling his stomach do... weird things.

After staring foolishly at Alyssa with a goofy smile on his face, Aaron sat a bit straighter upAaron called Oliver over and held him out to Alyssa. 'Check iiit!' He smiled proudly. 'You...' Well, this was dumb.. 'Wanted to see him go to the bathroom.'
Cause you know, that was what you showed girls that you liked, how your owl could go to the bathroom.
He gasped as he realised what he'd thought. He liked her.

Aaron still liked Alyssa. And the fact that she was crazy enough to have a freaking ticklewar on the common room floor and crazy enough to actually have liked him when there were tons of smarter guys out there made her even better. He flashed her another smile.
'I.. What.. Are we going to do now..?'

Alyssa smiled when Aaron surrendered and called her the Queen of Ticklers. Then he looked surprised when she had kissed him again. She knew that she had made a mistake kissing Jimmie the second time. But before she could say anything, he brought over his Owl Oliver and told her that he had potty trained her.

Then out of the blue, he asked her what they were going to do. Alyssa knew that she still loved him even though he had broken her heart once, but she didn't know whether he felt the same about her.

" I don't know Aaron. I still like...okay...I still love you, but I don't want you to feel that you have to get back with me. I want you to be sure yourself. I don't want us making the same mistakes that we did the last time. If you want us to get back together, it's because you feel the same way I do and you want it to work as much as I do." Alyssa hoped that his answer would be yes because she had really missed him alot.

Justin listened as Minerva told him about the arguement. He was surprised that either of the girls would act like that, but then again they were all super stressed when they arrived to school and for a while after. Justin took her hand and held it as he looked at Minnie with sypathetic eyes.
" Minnie, we were all up in arms then. It's okay...Look at how I was acting. I was being a real jerk to everyone. " he said shamefully as he looked down at the floor. " But we all are making do and everyday are healing from what happened. But you were right to tell her what you said. You should never have to take orders from anyone. " Justin said as he looked back at her and sqeezed her hand gentley.

Minerva smiled, "I know and I get it. I feel bad I was so mean with her and well.. at first wondered if that was what pushed me into well finally being with you. Because she told me not to." Minerva thought for a moment, "but now I know that's not true. If it was the reason I finally took the jump fine, but its not the reason we are together."

Amethyst walked into the common room, humming to herself. She had heard about Justin and Minerva's getting together and was very happy for them. She sat in front of the fireplace, Saber in her lap. She giggled as she tickled his tummy, his legs in the air.

Minerva's head was still pounding and she was still feeling a bit sick, but not as bad as she had felt at the pond when she saw a familiar figure come into the common room. It was Ame they hadn't spoken since the day in the great hall. "Hey Ame, where have you been hiding? I haven't seen you in a few days."

Amethyst looked up, her ears twitching slightly as she slowly turned around. She smiled at the girl stood, moving to sit across from her. "At the Lake!" She smiled, nodding. She certainly wasn't lying.
