I have to admit it doesnt sound as dangerous as I first thought it would be.. well I guess it would be fun to learn some of the stuff that Edward does.. things that you wouldnt learn in school.. soon you could become a tracker as well.. tracking us down and stuff" he chuckled a little "Well when you do know if you are going or not.. in your excitement of the trip dont forget to let your ol' buddy Harvs know that you are going on the trip." he said to her.. he just wanted to know when she would be going on her trip.. he would have to refrain himself from sending her owls too.. cause that COULD give away their position.. a snowy owl flying in full view.. and he didnt want that. So it would be better if he knew everything about this trip.

Harvey smiled when she said that she would.. "Yeah I guess not.. there would be alot of unhappy people if I were to join you and Edward on that trip of yours.. Ame would probably be the unhappiest.. so yeah I guess you are right.. it would actually be best if I didnt join you.. although I am sure we would have had a lot of fun if I tagged along... AND I would have gotten to know Edward.. your cousin.. not the tracker." he smiled as he thought about this.. that way he would know that Mins was really being taken care of and that was what he wanted.

"To bad I wasn't in your guys house though," Angelina said, slipping out what she was thinking. With that she turned a little red, embarassed.

He was pretty sure that the snakes didn't really like handing over all of the three shinny cups to them and they would try harder next year to get them back but he won't let that happen. "I know. I heard the last time we won the house cup was 14 or 15 terms ago." Imagine how long it had been.

There's nothing wrong with wishing, right? Even though that was pretty stupid wish. "Yeah. Thank Merlin we didn't." But that was close though.

Keefer was amused as Oakey snorted a bit. Well that's something you don't hear every day. Not that it was something to be embarrassed about. It was just funny, that's all.

"Well, mum and da raise Abraxans. You know, breeding and stuff." Or perhaps he didn't know? Had they covered that in Care of Magical Creatures at all? "I usually help them out quite a bit during the summer. That's when the babies come, so an extra hand is always good." He wouldn't go into any details. That would probably just serve to gross everyone out during their meal.

Actually, Treyen liked his answer. That's what he would've preferred too. Then again, he wasn't too much into Ancient Runes, and well, honestly...Treyen may have chosen the dog, mainly because he could have Quidditch tickets whenever. So, the Head Boy nodded in agreement...but..., "The Chudley Cannons are doing pretty okay," Rapunzel Black was their top Chaser, anyway, "I don't think they're quite the underdogs, truth be told." They weren't at the bottom, so, all good.

And the other kid, Nate, lived in London, then Oakey was entirely correct in his assumption. "Definitely. Will be seeing each other a lot more." A lot more than the previous summers, which was true, considering they've met outside of Hogwarts, right? Treyen didn't know.

Alyssa smiled at Oakey's enthusiasm. She was glad that he was over his belief that he was a bad luck charm. It was nice to see him relaxed and even optimistic about playing Quidditch next term...even though she wouldn't be there to see him play."Then we've got a deal. My family and I will make sure that you're Quidditch team material by the time we're done playing with you. So don't forget to OWL me when you get the chance and I'll get someone to bring you over."Alyssa reminded him.

There he was! The one person Ness was looking for. It was Oakey of course. She had barely seen the kid the whole term and it felt like they had grown apart. She missed him she really did, he was her first friend here and now she barely saw him. The badger was disgusted with herself, how could she have been such a terrible friend? Now was her time to make up for it though.

She walked over to where he was and wore a smile on her face. "Hey!" she said and then pulled him into one of their usual hugs.

"We will do it next term!" They had to! It was super fun! Sophie grinned when Angelina kind of wished she was a Hufflepuff. She had good reasons to with that, actually! Heh! "It's a deal!" Bertie Botts picknick next term, anywhere around Hogwarts grounds so anyone could join!

And...he frowned. "Sorry...but...the lip-biting...," even Arya must know she didn't do that, "...it's not you." Hence why she was freaking him out. Gladly, Ellie was trying to make her smile, but Treyen knew that whatever smile came out of his best friend wouldn't be a genuine one. Except...perhaps he could make that happen.

Turning to his best friend, he smiled, "We'll be seeing Aaron soon. And Sabel." Now, if she didn't smile with that, then he had no idea what to do.

They said that he never really pay attention to his surrounding, he always denied it but till this moment he understand why people said something like that. Messer failed to notice the Hufflepuff female Prefect. But Arya seems a little gloomy not like Arya he knows.

"Arya!" he hugged his female prefect. "I'm going to miss you." He really really gonna miss his ice cream buddies. "Good luck for verything you want to do after Hogwarts. And don't forget me, yes." Because he sure won't forget her.

THAT was not a real smile, Arya. Ellie had enough experiences with Arya's smiles to know that this one looked SO incredibly different. And the Ravenclaw had no idea how to change that. She didn't know Arya that well to know what to do...or say...and...

Treyen. Treyen better be helping her, because this not bubbly Arya was really a horrible thing.

"You will too, then?" Because if it was 'good' Ellie'd be around, it probably meant Arya would too, right?

Her attention went back to Messer and her smile grew. Arya couldn't ruin that. Because she WAS going to have an amazing summer and she couldn't wait for tomorrow to come. "I will, thanks." She gripped Treyen's hand with her own. They were going to have an amazing summer, weren't they?

"Depends who you're babysitting," she shrugged. She always enjoyed babysitting Aidan. And she would be more than willing to babysit Bishop's baby when he or she came into the world. "And what you do with the kid." There were countless fun things to do with little ones.

"Um, bits and pieces. Like, my mum takes me into Aberdeen sometimes. We buy food at the local market and stuff. But I don't really have any Muggle friends. Well, not that haven't been to Hogwarts, at least," he amended himself. "I think the differences aren't uniform across households, to be honest. It depends on how many Muggle relatives are in the family for some of it. Like, if your grandparents are Muggleborn, they're bound to do more things without magic, I imagine." That made sense, right?

"But honestly, I'm not an expert on how Muggles do things, so don't trust everything I say." She would soon find out for herself anyways.





"I know you're not a quitter. That's why I'm confused that you're giving up." And why he wanted to encourage her. "Not everything in life will come easily. And not everyone will like you or cooperate. We have to learn to deal with those situations."

He always thought it odd when students, especially younger years, seemed to indicate that they had the ability to choose where they were educated. Keefer had always thought that was the job of the parents or guardians. Teenagers are so moody. We don't know what's best for us half the team, even though we're convinced we do!

"I think that's a good idea. Talk with your family, give yourself some time to cool off a bit, make sure your head is on straight. I'd hate to see you make such an important decision if your emotions are still a big factor." Not that feelings shouldn't be considered at all, but he always thought that one should wait to make big decisions until reason could play the dominant role. Look at me philosophizing... if that's even a word! he mused. Oi. It's definitely time for summer.

Cause then I would have a bunch of trackers tracking me down... with er.. one still learning how to track" he chuckled as he nudged her shoulder.. "Yeah I think it would have been fun.. yeah .. oh well" he too shrugged "Future plans?.. you arent planning to have me left in the forests or something JUST so you could track me down... are you?" he asked jokingly as he wondered what future plans she was talking about.. "Well I think so... the feast must be nearing its end now." he said as he looked at her.. "Well I guess it will be you and me in the same compartment like always with anyone else that wants to join the popular girl of Hufflepuff. " he chuckled as he remembered all her new friends.. then he realised something.. "Unless you have other plans with someone else.. I dont mind.. by all means you can sit with other people this year" he smiled.. it was true.. its not like she had to sit on the train with him every year.. she could sit with other people.. afterall she was making new friends at a fast rate.

Alyssa realized what she had said when she saw the sadness on Minerva's face. "I'm really sorry for being so insensitive. Here I was talking about family,when I never even offered my condolences to you on losing yours. I know that it really doesn't mean much, but you in a sense you still have family. Hogwarts is your family and they will always be there for you. So do you ever forget that okay?"



Alyssa listened to Keefer as he told her what he thought she should do. "I guess I'm giving up because I'm just tired. In fact, I've already talked it over with my parents. They are disappointed but will support whatever decision I make. If I have to, I'll finish off my education back in Salem Institute where I did my first year. But anyway thanks for the advice. I'll think about it. That's all I will say for now. And if I don't see you next term, I want you to make sure that you'll find the best team you can find, and keep that Quidditch Cup back in Hufflepuff."

Logan was too busy thinking of summer to listen to any conversations at the table. After a long while, he snapped back into reality and looked around, a little sleepily. He was quite tired, come to think of it. He was dying to get into his bed and just fall asleep. He stiffled a yawn, and looked down at the table.

Oakey chowed down some on the food, but was interrupted quickly with familiar bear hug...very familiar. He-hey Renesmee. Oakey managed to loosen himself a little from her tight grip and wrapped his arms around her.

Oakey couldn't place his finger on the feeling, but it felt like a shiver, or a maybe a twinkle if that's even a feeling someone gets. He always had this feeling whenever Renesmee was around. That aside Oakey released himself and put both his hands on her shoulders. Long time, Renesmee. What brought that on? he asked first. We gotta hang more often, I almost forgot about your hugs.

"If you're as tired as you say you are, maybe you need to just take a year off. Not go anywhere, just school from home." Because he had a feeling she would have the same struggle at Salem that she did at Hogwarts. "Yeah, that's all I ask. Take time to think about it after it's all settled down." He smiled, recognizing the semi-dismissal. "Thanks, I hope we can as well."





The sixth year chuckled. "Yes, except with wings. There are several species of winged horses, Abraxans are just one." He suddenly felt like he was imitating Williamson. The thought amused him. In fact, he could envision himself being the Care of Magical Creatures Professor someday.

"But I wouldn't really know if my parents are awesome or not. To me they're just my parents and I love them for that. I think I know them a bit too well to be a fair judge of their awesomeness." If that even made sense.



He laughed. That was probably for the best. He was only human, after all, so he was bound to be wrong sometimes.

He stared at her. "No you're fine, honest!" He did have older friends, but age was not all that mattered when deciding who to talk to. "Besides, I have the whole train ride back to talk to people as well. So I'm a free agent right now!" He nodded to emphasize that he was being sincere.

"And as for next year... I'm trying not to think about that right now." The smile wiped off his face as quickly as Alec would run toward a barrel of gummy bears. He was going to miss Treyen. And Arya. And all the other seventh years. And next year it'll be six times as bad, because I'll have to leave all the other years as well! He sunk into a moody silence.

Laura looked at Ella and giggled. "I ain't scared of no Dragon all you need is water and they are harmless." Laura would hug Lafay if she had the chance. "Once you have hugged her she'll become soft or saying that she's probably soft in the first place." Maybe she was just acting all tough and Dragon like because she was scared.

Maybe she should have waiting until the train ride back to London to give this to Lewis? At least that way they may have been able to find an empty compartment for just a moment and then they could act normal around each other. The prefect couldn't help but laugh at herself and that thought. Act normal? Where had that thought come from? And what really was normal for them anyway? The tingling she felt in her hands as Lewis' hands came close to hers when took the box, feeling the warmth of his touch so close but not close enough, told her that she had an idea of what normal was.

Kurumi blushed furiously as she averted her eyes away from the corner of his lip to the box in his hands. The contents of that box represented so much, more than a silly roll cake should. And now she was passing all that shyly on to Lewis.

There were so many things she wanted to say right now, but she was finding herself rather tongue tied at the moment. The smirk Treyen had done earlier hadn't helped the situation either while at the same time it had. Treyen knew what had gone on between her and Lewis, confronted her about it, and now had looked rather pleased with her taking Lewis aside for a moment. That could only mean...

"Y-You're welcome," she replied, bowing her head while she too sucked on her lip. "You...you can open it now, if you want." Which she really hoped that he did. Besides birthday cakes and the cupcakes that she occasionally baked Treyen, Kurumi never really baked things other than cookies for people. While Lewis was unaware of this fact, for now, this was a very big gesture. Very big. Maybe Treyen would be able to confirm that for him once she had left.

Minerva smiled and looked at Ameliah "I don't know the more claws you meet like Ameliah the more time your going to spend in the common room without us." she grinned knowing he would never leave her. She was sure of that one, and felt a little guilt knowing she could say or do anything without him leaving. Maybe that's why she jumped at him so easily knowing it would never push him away. "So Ameliah how have you liked your first term here?" She then looked at Harvey and then around the hall. "This is ridiculous" she said with frustration returning to her face. "I'm over this." she pulled out a parchment. "Is Frost packed yet?"

Minerva smiled "Well that sounds great." she had placed her hand on his without realizing it. "Your family sounds wonderful. It will be nice to meet them." she realized where her hand was and quickly took it away. "Sorry.. anyway, I don't know much about Scotland I have never been there. I had never been on this side of the world before Hogwarts actually. I'm from the States, well I guess I can't say that anymore. I guess now I'm going to have to say London since I will be with my grandparents."

Minerva looked around no she didn't seem him either. Then she listened as he said about staying and she couldn't help smiling at this until he said about her wanting him to leave and she felt herself want to touch his shoulder to hold him to his seat, but she refrained remembering he doesn't like it. "No, no I am enjoying our conversation and I love having you as a new friend. So don't go anywhere if you don't want to. So what is your favorite class here?" she all of the sudden wanted to know more about him.

Minerva looked at Alyssa and frowned. "You are one of the best witches, I don't when your going to stop over looking that and accepting it." Minerva didn't understand why Alyssa didn't understand her own abilities. "So what are your plans this summer Alyssa?"

Glenn stopped frowning and decided to laugh now. Funny how the teachers were causing the most drama in the hall. She glanced at Elise and started piling food on her plate not that she needed to eat a lot of food, she had an expansive collection of chocolate frogs still up in her dormitory, and if she got desperate; an abandoned box full of Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Beans. Just as she thought this, she heard her other friends across the table discussing the beans...



Oh yeah! They hadn't done that! Glenn nodded and took a sip of pumpkin juice, "We've got to hang out for next term full stop." She added, smiling at her friends. "And remember to bring lots of lollies next term too."
