Taylor nodded, "Yeah, you have." She smiled, "Just by you being here and being yourself, have made my life more fun and i have someone to talk to when things get touch. You are my best friend." Tay kissed his cheek again.

Harvey watched as Minnie stopped the spell and Justin collapsed to the ground... he looked at Justin as he agreed to her conditions.. and Harvey mentally agreed to them as well.. Minnie then introduced them to Ariana.. and Harvey got up smiling a little "Er.. Hi Ariana.. its good to meet you" he greeted hesitantly. He was still a little shocked at what Minnie had done to Justin.

Minerva was so buys making Justin dance for screaming at her that she didn't even notice Taylor and Damon, until she heard his voice. She stopped and turned seeing them dancing. "Oh Hey guys" She said quickly a little red in the face and then turned back towards the other three..



Minerva looked at Justin and felt bad that he was so tired, but it was funny anyone could admit that. "Well now that we can all talk without being over dramatic. I think our friendship will be fine." She glared a bit at Harvey when he began to act nervous, why did he do that all the time. Just because Ameliah thought it was cute does not mean everyone else did. She chuckled a bit as Justin tried to be charming to Ariana, if he thought dancing was bad, he didn't see anything yet. Ariana could snap him quicker then anyone she had met before.

Taylor looked over at Minerva when she spoke, "Oh um hey, Mins..." She gave a half smile. Tay looked back at Damon and smiled. They were just friends for now but maybe soon....

"well im not too Sure min I havent been able to find him he told me to meet him in the sh-- i mean here, an hour ago and he's not here." Ariana then nodded to the two boys as she introduced them "pleasure." she said to them both as if she actually cared. one of them bowed " oh get up. i'm no one to "bow" for " she said using air quotes.

Damon chuckled, "Yes, but don't deny I can also be a pain in the neck as well."

Taylor pretended to think aobout it. She nodded, "Yeah true." Tay giggled and smiled at him, "Nah, you are amazing, never too much of a pain."

Minerva looked around as if she would see him coming or something. "That's odd, if he said he was going to see you, then he should be here. I have not known him to break a his word." She glanced at Taylor and Damon and before she could think about it she added "Well he's not with Taylor she's over there with Damon." She then looked at Ariana with shock, she was nice to Justin and Harvey, now something must be up, she is never nice. "Is everything okay with you? Did you need anything that I could help with?" She tired to make nice, she was going to try to become Ariana's friend whether she liked it or not.

Jordan wandered the grounds in search of Ariana they were meant to be meeting eachother somewhere around the Whompig Willow. "Hey Ariana, you have people bowing to you now?" he smirked.

"yes it's very strange indeed." she said as she also looked around, she hadent even noticed taylor but when she did and she saw her with Damon every inch of her body wanted to smite her " taylor." she whispered to herself " that conniving, no good, evil, poor excuse of a girl! she said also to herself. She found herself literally biting her tongue, it began to bleed a bit and the taste of copper filled her mouth quickly. "No, no i'm Fine." she said still not taking her eyes off taylor.

in the mist of all her anger she heard a familiar voice say her name she turned around, to see that jordan had gotten her owl from this morning, Ariana's attitude changed almost immediately and the side of her that Taylor, damon or Min never saw came out of her, one that only Jordan and max could bring out of her. "JORDAN!" she practically yelled as she ran over to him throwing her arms around him, she hadnt seen him since summer.

Harvey saw Minnie glare at him.. uh oh what did I do now?! it seemed he was doing alot of wrong things these days.. his smile disappeared at this thought.. since when had he done the wrong things.. he had said the right things before and now suddenly he was saying the wrong things.. maybe it was better he kept quiet.. ok so he told her about Justin.. its not like you could keep the poor guy dancing all his life.. no need for a glare! ok from now on he would have to watch what he said to her.. he then smiled at Ariana as she said pleasure.. she didnt seem so bad.. she was a nice girl.. even with the air quotes.. he then listened as Minnie talked to Ariana.. he then saw a boy come over and saw her run to him and throw her arms around him.. see she wasnt so bad.

Minerva saw her look at Taylor and Damon. She seemed to glare at Taylor, but couldn't make out what she was mumbling to herself. "Ariana, Maxwell is over it so don't get expelled over anything." Minerva glanced at her friends wondering if Maxwell was really over her, but shook it off Maxwell was with her and he was happy. She was about to say something else, but Ariana ran and hugged someone. Minerva stood there a bit shocked she had never seen her act that way before.

Minerva noticed Harvey being very quiet all of the sudden. "Cat got your tongue, Harvs? What's your deal." She looked at him a bit, not sure what his main issue was their fight, Justin made to dance, or what. "So where is Ameliah at today, you are still with her right?"

Ariana looked as though she'd been angry with the people around her, so he was relieved to see the she reacted the way she did. "Hey there," he grinned wrapping his arms around her in return. "How's things?" he laughed slightly, it had been ages since he had seen the Slytherin girl, so it was nice to see her for once.

Harvey looked at Minnie when she talked to him "No! No deal.. you and Justin were talking so I didnt want to butt in.. thats all." he smiled a little to try and throw her off what he was thinking earlier.. "Yeah I am still with her.. er.. she just wanted some time to herself.. upset with something... so how are you? havent seen you in while.. whats been going on with you?" he asked before she could ask why he wasnt comforting her.. he had tried and still she left saying that she was sorry.. so there was no much he could do if she wanted to be on her own.

Ariana smiled as she hugged jordan "things are alright i guess lafay has me on close watch this year, but i guess after what i did to her last term i expect nothing less." she said seeming more happy now but noticing that harvey guy kept watching her she turned to him "helloo..." she waved her hand in front of him "Are you alright you look confused?" she said sounding caring and actually concerned for him.

Minerva looked at him a bit confused, she wanted to ask what was wrong, but he kept talking. "Oh I don't know, not much has been going on. Just you know those things called classes that you so easily forget about." She gave him a bit of a grin and then chuckled. "I'm dating Maxwell now, it actually started at this very spot the last time I talked to you." she blushed a bit, but glanced at the two dancing more at Damon then Taylor. Stop it your with Maxwell, she thought in her head. It's obvious they are into each other I don't know why they just don't date she thought and turned to face Harvey not to look at them again. "It's been going wonderful to be honest, he is a great guy. So other then that just classes, Maxwell, and now I will have quidditch." Yeah she noticed that the two boys ignored her announcement...She brushed her pinkish red streaked hair off her shoulder when doing this she cringed. She looked at Ariana, "You know my head still hurts where I landed on it."

Ariana Chuckled " Sorry. i was upset!" she said while shrugging.

"So you're telling me that you've never wanted to put a silencing spell on me?" He chuckled, then he felt someone staring. He looked at Arianna who looked mad as all get out for a second... That reminded him, "Hey Arianna! Welcome to the family!" He looked at Taylor, "You did hear about that haven't you? Seems Rowan and Millie are engaged."

welcome to the family!? has this boy lost his mind wait...."WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaATTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT TT!?!?!" Ariana yelled as loud as she could. "Are you kidding me!?" she asked damon.

Harvey nodded and chuckled as she talked about the 'things called classes'.. he looked surprised as she talked about dating Maxwell as he saw her blush.. "After you talked to me?! " he asked surprised even more.. he hadnt seen anything that seemed like they liked each other.. but as he really thought about it.. maybe there were signs that he hadnt seen.. smiling again as she said it was going wonderfully "Well I am glad that its wonderful for you.. yeah I agree he is a great guy and I can see you are happy with him." he then winced as she mentioned quidditch.. in his sad and quietness he had not noticed that part "Oh yes.. quidditch! Congratulations for making the team! Again! sorry I should have said it earlier" he smiled a little as he saw her look away and followed her line of sight.. he just looked at those two.. maybe in a way it was good that they were not together anymore.. he then looked at Minnie who was still looking at them.. no matter what had happened.. he still felt sorry for her.. poor girl liked a guy who left her.. as she brushed her hair off her shoulder he noticed her hair was different.. how had he not noticed that before.. stupid Harvey!!"I like your new hair.. looks good on you." he then saw her look at Ariana.. "I thought it must do.. how bad does it hurt?" he asked wanting as he took a couple of steps towards her slowly.. he had cared when that stupid tree had given her those bruises.. and he still cared now.

Taylor laughed and smiled, "Okay maybe once, i did." She giggled then to Ariana, "Yeah welcome to the ever growing family." Taylor grinned even though she knew that Ariana hated her guts. To Damon, "Yeah i heard." She giggled.

He sat Taylor down and walked over to Arianna, "You didn't hear about Rowan and Millie?" He looked at her puzzled, "They're getting married." He smirked, "So, welcome on behalf of the Mercada's."

ariana still standing next to jordan started to shake her head "no no no, i havent heard! how did you hear about this!?!?" she asked damon hoping i was just some cruel joke he was playing on her.

Tay sighed as he sat her down. She walked over to Ariana, "And welcome on the behalf of the McIntyres." Taylor faked a smile.

"Rowan wrote me a letter about it. Apparently your aunt invited him to live with her and he asked her to marry him once he got everything in." Damon shrugged, "Surprise I guess."
