Jonathan and Aurora's usual hangout... Here they would scheme, have fun, and poison each other... Well, Jonathan would get poisoned. It's been a year and a half since Jonathan had been here, he kind of missed it. Jonathan and Aurora never exactly agreed to meet each other here again... But he thought he'd come by anyway, and just sit and hang out.

The boy plopped down and took out a bag of munchies.

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY, MUNCHIES!!!!!!!

Jonathan should be doing homework, but he decided not to. Besides who needs homework anyway???

Okay. Fresh air. Always good. Well... Usually. Aurora had dressed in a nice thick cloak and left the castle with her violin. She had spent a lot of time down at the whomping willow last year practicing and she'd grown to like it - she liked to think if she played well enough she could calm the willow or something... it made her want to play until she was perfect. She had decided to come back here as soon as she had free time so here she was!

When she came in sight of the willow she spotted a familiar head. Jonathan. Of course - her mind travelled back to the times they had spent here and put a smile on her face - they had been great. She walked the last few metres with a spring in her step and dropped down to sit next to Jonathan. It didn't seem like she'd be getting any practicing done today. "Hey!" she said, grinning and laying her violin down on the floor.

Tay sighed and walked out to where the whomping williow was. She was in dark skinny jeans and a black tank top. Taylor had a black silk robe on and dark make up on. Taylor sat and sketched.

Here's a little insight into the mind of J Kirk

Munching on some bugs... I'm munching on some bugs... yum yum yum yum, I'm munching on some bugs.

Literally, nothing was coming to Jonathan... I NEED TO THINK OF SOMETHING. Bum, buh... Trees. They're fun... I should learn more names of trees... Not many magical trees. There are magical bees. I don't like bees... They probably taste good, though. I'll have to cook them up... Thinking of, I need to make a little stove for the dorm. I hope the other guys don't mind... I actually don't know any of their names. Except Kenny. Kenny... Why does Aurora like him, anyway? Aurora-

Aurora!!!

Jonathan came out of his daze to spot Aurora next to him. So, she had the same thought as me... Want to meet me here. And it seems she brought her violin.

"I can play a bit of that," Jonathan said. I BET KENNY CAN'T!

Damon walked up, seeing Taylor he sighed... Did he truely want to risk being seen again? He decided she seemed to be wrapped up in her work. He'd just go to the other side of the tree to where he couldn't be seen... Yeah right. He let out a small yelp as it seemed the tree took a swing at him. It must be out for revenge after what his father had done to it... He tried to walk past Taylor without being seen.

Schroyers 05-06-2012 08:03 PM

Maxwell sat close to the roots of the tree waiting for Minnie, They hadn't talked since the feast and he had to make sure she wasn't mad at him...

Tay looked up at Damon with a emotionless face. She still felt hurt. Taylor wasnt usually in black or wear so depressing of makeup, she usually used browns and greens not black and dull. Tay usually wore colors and not black and darks too. She glanced down as she began to sketch again. A tear fell onto her paper, messing up the drawing and her make up.

Minerva had just finished her last class and decided she had a bone to pick with a certain tree from last term. Has she dropped her bag and she headed towards it she noticed someone that made her blood boil a bit. "Maxwell" she started towards him.

Aurora grinned, music was always good. However, she wasn't exactly prepared to let anyone touch her violin. Oh no. Not this one. It had been a gift for her getting a distinction in her grade eight - you don't just let anyone play a Stradivarius.

"Really? Where'd you learn?" Aurora glanced at Jonathan's bugs and searched her pockets for her own bag... Aha! Chocolate ants were officially her favourite bugs - and her second favourite snack after Jelly Babies.

So the sign ups for the Quidditch tryouts had begun and Aurora was curious about something... "So, signed up for Quidditch?" she asked with a grin - part of her wanted to see Kennedy trying to support Slytherin without cheering on Jonathan... Heheh. The rest of her actually thought people were made cooler by Quidditch - which was kind of awkward, considering how she was terrified of brooms.

Maxwell looked up to see Min, he knew if he waited by the tree long enough he'd see her. "Min, look I know you're mad but i was angry...He kissed her right in front of me, what would you have done?"

Damon looked at her for a second before continuing to where he wanted to be sitting on the other side of the tree, he pulled out a piece of paper, not realizing it was the scroll, and wrote down another new poem of his
SPOILER!!: Alone In My Head
Alone in my head,
I'm feeling so low,
You wont understand,
No one can know.

My eyes are so tired,
I can't sleep at night,
Your face haunts my dreams,
When I turn out the light.

It happened so suddenly,
It happened so fast,
I knew all at once,
That none of this would last.

Was I just a game?
Was this all just for fun?
Did my feelings matter,
To anyone?

"This didn't mean anything",
That's what you said,
As I was so shamefully,
Getting up from your bed.

I held my head high,
As I walked by your side,
Tears welling up,
I was dying inside.

Weeks have passed,
Keeping secrets, telling lies,
I don't have the strength,
To look either of them in the eyes.

My heart has been broken,
Not once, but twice,
Once by my best friend,
Once by the love of my life.

Deep down inside,
I know it's my fault,
So I'm just going to lock it,
Away in my vault.

Sometimes I still think of you,
When I'm lying in bed,
Still all alone,
Inside of my head

Tay saw the poem flash onto her scroll.... She didnt know why she still had the stupid thing. When Taylor read the poem, tears fell onto the scroll. She could barely write: Damon..... I'm sorry....

Where did he learn? Ha! Silly question... He OBVIOUSLY learned from an expert. Jonathan grinned. "I learned IN the Sydney Opera House... By their house violinist..." Bragging? Yes. Regretting? No.

Jonathan watched as Aurora took out her bugs. Jonathan got some of those... He reached in and muched on one. "Wanna try one of mine? Brazilian."

Quidditch??? HA! "NOOOOOooooooo..." Jonathan leaned back onto his elbows. "I don't play Quidditch... Sports... I'd rather try my luck with Devil's Snare than play a rough sport like THAT."

PERSONAL SPACE BREACH.

"Noooooooooooo........" He held out his other hand in reach for the castle. In reach for saving. He felt like he was about to go on a roller coaster ride.
Which was stupid cos he wasn't actually going to RIDE this tree... Right?

His eyes were shut when they stopped, "Can't see." And now all he could hear was her introducing him to the tree. To the TREE.

This was all very bizarre. He opened his eyes slowly and flinched whenever it moved.

"It's very beautiful. CANWEGONOW?" Please. At least another 30 yards away.

Sophie looked up at the tree a bit more. Sooooooooooo awesome!!! When she looked back down at Theodore, she saw him with his eyes closed. "You didn't even see it! How can you say it's beautiful!" Although she knew that the Whillow prettiness was easily seen. "Come on, open your eyes!" She said shaking his hand and stomping on the ground.

Nooo, they couldn't go now!! LOOK FIRST!! LOOOOOOK!!

Everyone should understand how amazing and NICE the Whomping Willow really was!

Where were her fellow Huffelpuffs to agree with her? "It helped Huffelpuff win a game last year!" See how NICE it was?? "And when it was getting angry because we were just 'using' it, we spoke to it and it became NICER and helped us out even MORE!!" She said all those things nodding and looking straight into Theodore's eyes.

He HAD to believe heeeer!

Minerva just shook her head and put her hand up stopping him from talking. "Maxwell, just shut up." she gave a little smirk. "I think your an idiot for hurting him, but I understand it as well."

Damon looked at the words forming, he muttered a curse, "That wasn't supposed to do that... I need to learn to keep this stupid thing away from my other papers..." He sighed, seeing tear drops seep through... You aren't making this easy...

Tay sighed and put the scroll away. She buried her face into her knees. Taylor was sending out 'leave me alone' vibes. Tay only wanted to talk to one person and sadly, that one person was the one person avoiding her and making her feel like this.

Well that was... Impressive. Very impressive. Even Aurora had never been to Sydney... Though her music tutor was head music professor at the Austrian Academy... And Austria sounded like Australia... Hehe. "That's pretty amazing." she said, drumming a beat on the case. "How good are you then?" Because if he said he was amazing she'd make him prove it...

Brazilian..? Why not. "Sure." She reached over and grabbed one.
Mmmm... "Oooh these are good..."

"Oh..." Well, if he thought he was too good for sport... Pfft. "Shame... Quidditch is cool. I'm trying to get Kennedy to try out." she said, flicking her red hair behind her shoulders. "It'd be cool to have more than one person I know on the team."

"I... This isn't because of what happened..." He said, not looking at her was helping him slightly, "This is purely my choice. I'm not mad at you. I knew it was going to happen." He sighed, "I just felt like you deserved to know the truth..."

Minerva looked at him and pulled her wand pointing jabbing it at his shoulder. "We are, but if you ever do something so stupid that not only was to the guy I like, but could have gotten you points loss, detention, or worse expelled I will use this." putting her wand away again, she smirked a bit. "So do you have a some big lion courage or something being this close to the tree?"

Tay didnt bother looking up. She wanted to scream and cry. Eventually she did look up. Taylor muttered, "Go away and leave me the heck alone. You 've been avoiding me and so now that im too upset you talk, you come talk to me? That is bull crap." Her voice was full of hurt and pain. She buried her head again.

He felt a stab with her words, "I actually was just coming out here to write. Not many students come near the willow." He looked down, "And believe me, trying to stay away from you is harder than it may seem. Seeing how my dad is married to your aunt we can't avoid each other... So you could at least let me stay and write; and be civil."

Jonathan wanted to say that he was the best person she had ever seen... But then he would have to prove it. "... Not very," he said trying not to make any eye contact. So, he couldn't play violin. PROBLEM??? "Perhaps you can show me how to play better? One-on-one?" Yes, alone time with Aurora... That's what was needed.

... Erm... MORE alone time.

KENNY?

*WHISTLE BLOW* Penalty on Aurora. Mentioning Kenny while Jonathan is trying to put off the sport. That's a 15 yard penalty. Repeat down.

Psh... Who cares if Aurora likes it? Not Jonathan... "How can you be sure he'll make it? Besides... He'd look silly..." Jonathan paused. "And it's not cool."

"Sure, though I can't promise I'll be a good teacher - I never tried." Aurora said, smiling. She'd do her best though - and maybe Jonathan would be a fast learner...

Whoaaa... Was that jealousy she detected..? Hehe. Well, that wasn't her fault...

"I'm not sure he'd get in... I meant that I know the captain." Yep, Kimalia was the one person on the team she knew. "Besides, I bet you'd be more likely to get on the team than Kennedy - he's not exactly adventurous..." Aurora lay back on the cool grass and put her hands behind her head, staring up at the calmly swaying tree.
