He shook his head, "Not really," He chuckled, "It's just my own little joke. When I have my red hair, so when I look a little normal; I'm Damon. When I'm like this... Well Damon kinda just dies and Ash jumps into his place." He shrugged, "I know, strange isn't it?" He chuckled.

Minerva ruffled his hair a bit "Well like I said I think Damon looks cute both ways, but I will remember Ash is the black hair." she winked at him, but made a mental note to really try to start calling him Ash.

Minerva couldn't help, but feel a bit proud of herself. She was becoming a great match maker, yeah most didn't work out, but no one holding it against her since they were so young. Now if only she could do better for herself she thought. "Well I think many people will be surprised.' she giggled.

I have to be giving it away, Min thought so she looked down she was a horrible liar. What would Damon think if she told her when she wasn't suppose to. "I don't know Tay, it's something you might need to be honest and just ask him."

To Ameliah, "On the train." She shook her head at Damon, "Not strange....." To Minerva, she nodded, "Yeah i will ask when he and i meet up after the feast. He asked me to meet him at the entrance for who knows what."

Harvey tried to look as normal as he could.. just sitting there listening to all the conversations around him.. he looked at Minnie.. this had been the second time she had matched him with someone.. "Yeah I think they will" he chuckled as he spoke to her in a low voice "I guess no-one expects to happen what has just happened" he said in what he hoped was a coded message to Mins since she knew. He listened as Ameliah started a convo with Taylor.. might as well say Hi. dont wanna seem rude "Hey Taylor" he smiled as he greeted her .. he would say hi to Damon.. but he seemed to be preoccupied .. once he gets the chance he would say hi to Damon

Minerva knew exactly what he wanted and she felt her stomach to a flip. This could ruin so many friendships and make this year either comfortable or uncomfortable for her new group. 'Well let me know if you need anything." is all she could manage to say about the issue.

Minerva gave Harvey a little smile and nod. She then looked at the table and shrugged a bit. She knew she couldn't hide her real feelings to Harvey, but hoped she was doing an ok job hiding them to everyone else.

Ameliah nodded at Tay. "Well, that would explain why it was so new to me. I was talking to Trin and Harvey at King's Cross for a while, well Min was there too but she faked seeing Damon and left, but then Trinity left too so just me and Harvs talked for a while and lost track of time." she said, putting the plan into action, "We had to rush to make it to the train and we decided to just sit in the middle, guess you all were in the back - Oh me and Harvey are dating by the way - and we were going to join you all in a while but the train made it here. I should've been there, I was going to ask for purple eyes...." she did her best poker face to hide any laughter when she mentioned her and Harvey.

She nodded, "Okay.... thanks again Min." Tay gave a half smile. To Ameliah, "Nice." She grinned, "Congrats, lil sis, now you dont have to bug me to introduce you to a guy." Taylor teased her. "Oh the back wasnt worth sitting in..... there was a huge fight." Tay sighed.

Minerva cracked a little smile and tapped Ameliah with her wand "Ritaris" "There ya go." she giggled not knowing if she noticed that Min's eyes were a deeper blue then the normal baby blue to make her new blue hair.

Ameliah grinned. "Oh please, I ended that in like the last half of the school year." she rolled her eyes. She then sighed. "D. and Maxwell?" she raised her eyebrows. She felt a wand tap on her and tensed up, ready to duel with any jerk who challenged, but heard the spell and relaxed. "Oh, thanks. So based on that and your new eye color, you can do eyes now?"

He decided that since everyone was busy chatting to each other.. that now would be the time if she wanted to talk "Hey Mins.. what exactly happened back on the train.. you seem quite... sad... or down" he said in a low voice as he leaned in towards her so that no-one else could hear them.



Harvey listened as Ameliah calmly but quickly told Taylor everything.. and there it was.. Taylor new that he and her were dating.. but he kept a straight face as if what he had just heard had been normal.. and he smiled as Taylor congratulated her.. so thats what Ameliah used to do.. bug Taylor to be introduced.. now he knew... he just looked at Ameliah after Taylor said this.. and heard there was a fight.. he then looked at Minnie. what fight was this? he was asking her without saying a word.. she knew him well enough to know he would ask



Harvey couldnt help but shake his head as hair and eyes started changing color at the wave of Minnie's wand.. hadnt he told Ameliah that Minnie would do that.. but at least she was doing it with permission now.. unlike doing it to Harvey without permission.. like the pink mohawk... and the purple hair in their first year. But then Mins looked different too.. she had gone and changed her hair.... AGAIN!! Harvey couldnt help but chuckle as he looked at Minnie.. "Er Mins. hair? again?" he questioned her

Minerva leaned in closer to Harvey "Oh it's nothing, there was just an argument between the boys and I just couldn't take it anymore. I'm just ready for things to be all in the open soon."

Ameliah caught Harvey shaking his head out of the corner of her now violet eyes. "What?" she grinned, "I said she could do it!" she said laughing. "Besides, she needs the practice if we're going to start an in-school buisiness."

"Min you can call me Damon if you want. I don't care." He smiled at her.

Minerva chuckled. "Do you like it, it's not as neon as I was hoping, but it works." she glanced at Damon and then back to Harvey. "Oh yes I do need the practice for that." she joked with Ameliah.

Minerva smiled "No, I don't want to be the only lame one calling you by the wrong personality name." she teased.

Harvey smiled "Oh! I see.. yeah I know I guess in a way I am too" he smiled.. Minnie will need someone to be there for her if it doesnt go the way she wanted it to.. yeah there was Maxwell.. but he was perpared to be there too.. I just hope Ameliah wont mind me helping Minnie out "Blue suits you.. you should have it that color more often" he chuckled



"I didnt say anything.. oh yes I forgot about your business that you wanted to start. well by the looks of things its going to be a huge success.. " he chucked and looked at Minnie why did he get the feeling that he was going to be the one that was going to get practiced on for their new business watch out Harvey you will be their practice person as you always are he thought as he leaned into Ameliah "Nice eyes by the way. " he smiled as he looked at her and into those violet eyes..

Ameliah raised an eyebrow at Harvey. "Huh-lo! I can read people, remember? You were thinking about how you warned me about Minnie's habit of transfiguration and how she changed your hair all the time." she grinned. "And thanks, I think it's a suiting color... I can now be 'the one with an intense purple gaze that'll make Harvey crack' instead of just 'the one who can make Harvey crack'." she smirked.

Minerva laughed "Well I'm glad you both like my work."

Damon smiled at her, "Really Min. if you want to call me Damon if you want I don't mind. You aren't the only one either."

Minerva looked at him for a few seconds and then smiled "We will just see what my moods like when I need to say it again. So did everything get fixed while I was gone on the train?" she looked down "Sorry I didn't come back to the compartment, I just couldn't do it anymore at that time."

Harvey nodded "Yeah.. you are good!! two girls that know me well enough to read me.. this could spell trouble" he chuckled.. what if they decided to have fun again like they had done at the fountain... get me all 'er'ing and stuttering.. oh boy.. this is not good.. "Ah ok.. so its not even been a day and you already thinking of cracking me?" he asked chuckling "Man you work fast!!" he laughed



"Oh we do.. well I do when I KNOW its going to happen to me" he chuckled "None of that 'doing it without permission' business" he smiled hoping she got the message.

Minerva grinned 'Oh we will see about that Mr. Watson." she was not promising anything.

Ameliah laughed. "I'm talking about like at King's Cross... 'I'm not freaked out.' to five minutes later: 'Why are you staring at me like that? Okay! I was freaked out, happy?' Remember that?" she teased.

OOC: Last post lovlies! I REALLY need to sleep... I'll continue tomorrow!

"I think Taylor and Maxwell got into a little fight... but thing between me and her did get a little better."

Uh oh saying my full name is not a good sign "Yeah I guess we will see" he chuckled yup I had better watch my back.. my girlfriend felt a little strange to say that about Ameliah and my best friend in partnership with each other.. not good



Harvey nodded "Yeah I remember that.. how could I forget that?.. you mean there is going to be more of that? Oh boy" he chuckled Yeah I am in definite trouble with these two girls in my life. both wanting to create trouble and mischief.

Alyssa entered the Great Hall. The place never ceased to amaze her. It's grandeur and beauty. She made her way to the Hufflepuff table. She could see that Minerva had already made her way there and was busy chatting with the other students, so not wanting to interrupt, Alyssa just sat down at the next empty seat she could find at the table. She still wasn't sure why she was back here in Hogwarts. Things just seemed different for her this year, and she had a feeling that it was going to be a long one. Alyssa sighed.
