"Violet, I can still think about you. Just because i'm with Taylor doesn't mean she rules my thoughts. Besides i was just thinking about how you were or how your summer was going, things like that." He whispered a he pulled away from hugging her not noticing how much the hug meant. "We can still be close." He whispered with a kind smile, hoping she'd catch it.

do you remember the taste of strawberries and cream Mr. Frodo, erm, Selina?
 

Kurumi's eyes were almost vacant again, minus a few tears that were now streaming down them. Tears of confusion. Tears of heart break. Tears of every possible emotion.

Kurumi hardly even reacted to Selina picking her up. She should have been surprised that someone as small as Selina could do that, but then again...this was Selina and the girl was capable of doing things that most girls her size weren't able to. If only Kurumi had had any thoughts right now. Her mind was essentially blank minus the image of the two boys who were now in the back of the room and she felt the lump in her throat coming back.

Her head lifted again, searching for Lewis first and meeting his gaze before looking back over to Jonathan. Whimpering again, Kurumi remained just like a rag doll over Selina's shoulder for a moment before speaking again. "Selina....put me down....please..." This was only drawing attention to the situation and that was the last thing Kurumi wanted.

If they were going to leave, Kurumi wanted to walk out on her own. It was about time she started standing on her own two feet.

LOOOOOUUUIIIIIISSSSAAAAA! *sparkles* *bounces*
 

Violet was over thinking again. Why would she be doing that? She breathed a big sigh and recollected her thoughts for a minute. "Sorry, it wasn't what I meant. I've been thinking about something else that's all." She felt Maxwell push away from her, and she also hastily put some distance between them. This wasn't how it was supposed to be anymore between them. "Yeah, of course, we can still be close. No hard feelings right?" It was an experience she'll never forget with him, but maybe someone else will come along the way in the next 6 years in Hogwarts. She should just stick to being friends with him, they might even be best friends. Who knows? Violet was just glad that she could still be friends with Maxwell and she was already making friends with others at school.

After thinking about this, she concentrated on the Beauty and the beast movie again. Was this really how love with? She smiled to herself at the thought.

With Kurumi in Selina's firm and safe grasp the redhead could not help but feel reminded of something. She had an itch at the back of her brain, there was something that she could not help but be reminded of. While she held Kurumi tightly she tried go figure out what it was that reminded her of that very moment. Perhaps a similar thing had happened in the Common Room Mordor, but if it did she could not remember the specifics.

Selina was left consumed by her thoughts until Kurumi yanked her from her mind with her quiet words. The girl wanted her best friend to let her down? But why? Selina could not protect Kurumi if she was left to her own defenses. Besides, Kurumi had said that she could not move- she was just trying to help. It made no sense to her why she Kurumi wanted her to release her to the mercy of the floor. However, she was not going to fight. The tiny redhead put down her best friend and nodded, "Yeah okay, put you down."

Her eyes flickered over to Lewis and she shook her head. When he saw Kurumi in the theatre he should have left. Even after they had spoken he was not completely taking all of her advice. She was not his mother but now he had left her with a bigger mess to clean up than she had originally brought to the theatre. Then she averted her gaze to Jonathan and gave him a death stare. She appreciated the he was hurt, she was even unhappy for him because of how he was wronged, but his blatant disrespect for Kurumi- for lack of a better term- annoyed the bloody hell out of Selina. Jonathan was never going to heal if he continued to be a baby. Sometimes letting go was better than being angry. "Come on Kurumi, let's go."

Maxwell nodded. "It's okay, and yea no hard feelings." He said happily. "Have you ever seen beauty and the beast?" He asked leaning to whisper in her ear.

Violet shook her head. "Nope. The story seems really weird. Why would this monstrous beast fall in love with the girl?" She cocked her head slightly to the side. "I mean, isn't it dangerous to be close to magical creatures?" Violet knew it was just a movie, but she never grasped the concept entirely yet.

Maxwell laughed a little. "Well, he's not a magical creature, per-say. This is a muggle story so Magic isn't very accurate. The beast used to be a prince, be he was selfish and cruel and vain. One night an old woman was looking for a place to stay during a storm and he turned her away, later that night a beautiful young woman came by and he let her in, the woman reviled herself to be the old woman before and she cursed him to be a beast and that he would only turn back if he found true love." He said smiling and feeling proud of himself for remembering the whole story.

Oichi went down to the area where she had read in the common room that is going to play the muggle movie beauty and the beast. She had to see it, it was her favorite movie growing up. She found her way to the location and entered the room just as the movie started. It was too drak to see anyone, much less anyone she knew. Thus Oichi grabbed some candy and popcorn and took a seat to watch the movie.

Violet looked at Maxwell in amazement. "Wow. You're so good at remembering the movie! Isn't it really old and everything" as she whipped her head back and forth from the screen to Maxwell. "I guess by the sounds of the movie, it does make sense now. This movie is about finding your true love then and being accepting to everyone around you?" she tried to make eye contact with Maxwell, but it was hard to find his eyes in the darkness of the room.
After a few minutes"Want to go somewhere after the movie is done?" she asked softly. "We could go find Taylor and relax outside somewhere."

Maxwell smiled. "Well, it's my little sister's favorite, And yeah that's what it's about." He made eye contact since his eyes had adjusted. "Well, I have charms homework after this but how about we do something this weekend, I'll be all done with homework and should have some free time?" He whispered.

"I grew up in a muggle family too!" Ella said, excited. It was nice to meet someone who had grew up the same way that she had. As for her favorite classes, there were so many! "Well my ultimate favorite is Care of Magical Creatures. I love learning about all the magical creatures." Plus, a lot of them were cute! "I also love Defense Against the Dark Arts and Flying!" Cause Ella loved to fly. There was really nothing like it. "Do you like quidditch?" She asked, since they were now on the subject of flying and all.

"You're kidding", Alex said. "I had no idea that you grew up in a muggle family!" It was comforting to know that she was not alone. I guess that explains why we know "Beauty and the Beast" and Junior Mints", she laughed. "And.....I do like Quidditch. It was all new to me last year, but now I love it. Maybe if I get better at flying,I can try out for the team next year"

Violet laughed softly. "Alright, let's finish up with this movie now then." and turned back to the screen to finish the Beauty and the Beast movie.
