Ahhh! Sorry this is late, but I hiked the appalachian trail. Part of it.
 

"Hi Alyssa. Hi Sophie. I'm ready for another year with the most greatest house in the world. Hopefully we can win the house cup again for two in a row. I can't wait for quidditch tryouts, and to see the common room. I really missed this place, and all of my friends. The common room will bring back both good and bad memories. That was the place were Oakey unfortunately started to vomit up candy from a misfired spell by me on accident. Yet that's the place were we celebrated for the quidditch cup victory. So yeh. How was both of your summers?"

Harvey and Ameliah in as well
 

Minerva listened to Ameliah talk about her skills. She smiled at them and then turned back to Butterfly, "Thanks it was time for a change, I had the purple all summer. "

Ronnie looked at Minnie and smiled. "Hey Minnie!" she said. She turned to Harvey and waved at him, a grin on her face. She was so happy to be back.

Minerva smiled "You look good in those Robes Ronnie. Having fun?"

Harvey smiled "Well thats good then." he looked at her as he gave her hand a gentle squeeze.. his lucky girl.. "Hey who else can we shock with our news?" he asked.. he was still in the mood to shock people with their news that they were together.. but the people here already knew about them.. did Ameliah know anyone that she would like to shock



Harvey just looked at her "Maybe? Well for now I will choose to believe that it is all a part of the fun.. and that anything you do.. you dont mean to do" he smiled hoping that he could persuade her that this was all a part of the fun.

Ameliah smiled. "Well, the only other ones I can think of are Alex and Logan, but I didn't see Logan for most of the summer. I don't know what could've happened to him.... but Alex defenitly." she grinned and squeezed his hand back.

Damon shook his head, "No, not to far. I just don't feel like debating this right before I'm going to tell her..." He sighed, "And anything, I just want to get off that topic please..."

Ronnie giggled. "Thanks!" she said. "I am having lots of fun! Thanks for asking. What about you?" she asked.

Harvey smiled "Alex it is then" he continued smiling as she squeezed his hand back "I just hope that this year does not pass too quickly... it had better give me time to enjoy this year.. with you.. hanging out with you.. but knowing the year.. it will pass the quickest whenever I am having a good time.. it always does. "

Ameliah laughed. "Well, we still have a good 4-5 years of Hogwarts and summers to spend together." she touched his cheek. "That good enough?"

Minerva smiled "Well I can teach it to you again if you want."

Minerva thought, what could she talk about that would get his mind off of the topic. A million things she wanted to say to him or wanted to hope for came to mind, but she knew that wouldn't help. "So... you are going to hang out with me a bit in the common room this term, aren't you? My favorite chair is pretty comfy and it's perfect for two people to sit in." she gave a smile hoping that was good enough.

"Yes, it's always nice to catch up and be back in this beautiful place." she said looking around.

Ronnie nodded. "Yes of course." she said sighing and looking up at the cieling...or...sky. Whatever you wanted to call it.

Minerva took his hand and wrapped her fingers around his. She knew she shouldn't, she knew he didn't want her, but she didn't it anyway. "Well Ash I will be there and yes I know I talk to a lot of people, but when I'm with you I will only pay attention to you and if your still not comfortable maybe we can go somewhere a little more quiet."

Minerva got a smile on her face. "So Ronnie, you need to dish.. What's going on with you and Justin?"

Harvey chuckled "Yeah I guess thats good enough... but even then the time should not go too quickly.. I mean look at me.. I am a third year already.. and it doesnt seem like that long ago that I had met Minnie for the very first time 2years ago on the train coming here.. she was sat here.. I was sat at the claw table.. time has flown since those days.. see time can go by fast.. dont you feel that time is going by too fast.. or is it just me?" he questioned no-one in particular.. he remembered as he was sat at the claw table.. he kept glancing at Minnie.. wishing that he had been put into Hufflepuff so that he could have been with her.. so much had happened since that day that he realised he liked her and now they were best friends.. he smiled

Ameliah smiled and gave Harvey's hand a comforting squeeze. "Not just you, time seems to move quickly for me too. Although, for me, it seemed like just yesterday when we met in the common room and I tackled Tay with my feet." she laughed, remembering that fateful day.... "And as for the first part, we can make the bestest of that fast time..."

He smiled at her, hey he had to get use to the idea. He'd already decided once Taylor told him no he was going to ask Minnie out. So he squeezed her hand lightly, "Then maybe I'll be able to stand it, at least a few times a day."

Minerva felt her heart flutter a bit when she squeezed her hand she looked at the table feeling nervous all of the sudden. So many things entered her brain, but she pushed them out as lost hope. "Well I promise to make it as pleasant as I can then. So you know my favorite place at school, where is yours?"

Minerva gave a smile wondering if he thought that would scare her. "I don't mind the dungeons, i am in them a lot actually. I spend a lot of time in the potions lab." she looked down and smiled thinking about what she said waiting on the train, how she confessed to her summer potion making. "I really like that class."

Minerva smiled "Butterfly anytime you need help you can ask. I would be happy to help."
