"Well Taylor I want to put everything behind us and be that close again, it just seems once we work things out something happens. I guess that's nice she thinks of us as that close already. She and Justin have started dating so I will be spending more time with her." She did like Ariana, but just didn't know if they could call each other best friends as of yet." She then laughed "Well I didn't grow up around magic, so that might be why I think of my fist and feet before my wand. I think it's a good thing because if I thought of my wand I would be expelled by now." she shivered at the thought.

Taylor nodded, "Yeah I really do think he wold do anything for you. You two are so adorable together." Tay smiled at her. "Yeah, it does seem that way..." SHe nodded and sighed, "I hate it." Tay shrugged, "Yeah have fun with that." Taylor gave a half smile. She chuckled, "Yeah I grew up submerged in it."

Minerva smiled "Yeah I think he's pretty great and we have so much fun together. Thanks for saying we are adorable, I guess. I think you and Damon are good together." Minerva looked over at the tree, it was nice just to talk to Taylor again, "Hey Taylor if that invitation is still open I think I am staying at your mom's over Christmas with Maxwell, so I would love to come to the party. I was just going to stay here and be alone, because it's the first year without my parents at Christmas, but Maxwell talked me into staying at your house."

Tay smiled, "That is good that you have so much fun together. Your welcome, it is the truth, you two are cute together." Taylor chuckled. To the Damon and her thing, she smiled, "Thanks, Mins." Tay nodded, "Yeah of course the invitation is still open." SHe smiled, "It will be fun to have you and the party will be more amazing than ever now!" She was excited for Christmas break now. "Yeah this is now my second year of Christmas without my father.... my father died in August last year...." Tay frowned and felt a tear fall down her face.

Well...yes, his name was silly. That was what she said, wasn't it? "Most names are," she pointed out. Ellie knew silly names quite well. Her middle name was the silliest of all, in her opinion. Not that Joahoo would ever know that, though. She had no middle name as far as anyone other than Treyen and her family were concerned.

Blink. She knew her language just fine, thank you very much. Sure, she didn't read, and that limited her vocabulary quite a bit, but she knew enough to have understood everything in this entire conversation thus far so....she had no idea where Marcelo was going with this. But she was skeptical, alright, especially with that smirk on his face. Her eyes narrowed again.

And soon, an eyebrow raised. Particularly with the 'noble name' bit. It was just a name, kid, get over it. Still, she kept things to mean nothing more than what he'd stated, and her voice in that same matter-of-fact tone as before. "Which was why I proposed you use that 'Marcelo' when introducing yourself, since you're already aware Hogwarts students can't pronounce your first name properly, and you seem quite bothered by the mispronunciation of it." She was simply stating observations and suggestions. That was all.

Then it was her turn to smirk. "I'm not going to work on it with the competition so close by." And she'd appreciate it if he moved. But she still wasn't asking. No. And perhaps, she'll still give up on it completely until he moved voluntarily......if he decided to be a bit nicer.


Joćo was really going to throw up if this stupid talk would go on some more. Yes, maybe he made a deal out of his name, but he really liked it because only the Latin people could pronounce it and it was much more special than a simple 'Ellie'. Shrugging at last, he said impatiently "I'll take that into consideration, thank you." Now, could they move on? He actually wanted to be nice to someone for a change and see how it went. But if she was going to be wise, he'd just pass it, thank you.

He chuckled, but didn't move away. On the contrary, he got even more comfortable on his spot. He wasn't moving anywhere to let the Ravenclaw captain work on tactics. No way.

"Your choice," he simply stated opening his hands wide open with an amused smirk and waited to see if she moved away or simply stayed in his nice company.

Ellie could tell Joao was annoyed, she could. And she...sort of...didn't care? It was his own fault for being so impatient. She was just trying to be helpful for Merlin's sake. So it was almost sarcastically that she replied, "You're welcome." But, really, really, it was just food for thought. He didn't have to take her advice. But he didn't have to argue about it either.

And....right. He wasn't leaving, it seemed.

Sigh.

The redhead was going to be stubborn, then. He's annoyed her enough to do so. Not that she was particularly not stubborn...just not to strangers. But Marcelo was hardly a stranger at this point. He was an obnoxious member of a rival team. Even if he wasn't actually on the Quidditch team. She wouldn't know.

Smirking, she shoved Jacob's binder back into the bag and carefully slipped the tablet safely between it and the other binder. "I choose to stay under my tree and enjoy the view." Treyen had always said it was the best. He'd always been right.

She should have brought her camera. For him.

Then again, Marcelo would probably find some way to ruin that for her, too.

Oh, now she was being sarcastic, was she?

Joćo died to answer back, and words were just at the tip of his tongue, but he kept himself in the end. No. He wasn't going to argue with people any more. He was going to get along with them, to some point. So, instead, he shrugged and eyed some distant point on the tree. He didn't even move when she put away her binder. He wasn't moving for sure. If she wished, she could.

...and apparently she didn't wish, either. He suspected this was just a pschological test to make him feel uncomfortable so that he would leave in the end. That was just not going to happen. Raising his eyebrows at her as if to say 'Is that so?' at 'my tree' comment, he said "Alright," again.

If she was going to stay, they should at least converse or something. She succeeded in making him feel uncomfortable, alright?! Was she happy? Did she feel accomplished? Studying her for a moment, he finally said "Which lessons are you taking for NEWTs?" So as to talk about something. Anything.

Another question. Milton narrowed his eyes and looked around as he thought about what to ask... "Say you're in a tropical forest surrounded by flesh-eating plants. Without a wand. Also surrounded by... Manticores. How do you defend yourself and escape?" It seemed appropriate seeing as though they were studying flesh-eating plants in Herbology. And Milton sometimes felt it was HIM stuck in a forest called Hogwarts where all the students were flesh-eating idiots and the teachers were Manticores. Ugh.

He also realized his questions were weird and quite random. So, he decided that the next question would be somewhat normal.

Taryn made a face at this question. WHERE were these questions coming from? They were odd and not at all the sort she had been expecting.

"You really are a Ravenclaw, aren't you?" Making her THINK and such. "First of all, I'd never set foot in a tropical forest unless there was an expensive resort there." Yeaaaaaaah! "And why wouldn't I have my wand? I always have my wand."

All smart witches and wizards did!

Milton just smirked. "At times, yes." Maybe Ravenclaw wasn't such a bad place to be sorted after all. Though he still thought he fit better in Slytherin. They had hotter girls. Anyway.

Her first answer made him laugh. Snort, actually. He snorted quietly. She was definitely a girl. And her second part of her answer made him grin. "You're a smart girl." Much smarter than most girls in that blasted castle.

Okay, now it was time for a more normal question. "Alright... What's your favorite color?"

Ooooh! Compliments! Taryn grinned happily and flipped her hair off of her shoulder, "I know." Hehe. "Thanks for noticing." She did love getting compliments, especially from cute boys.

Finally! A question that did not involve soul searching or thinking too hard. Not that Taryn was dumb, on the contrary, as he had just pointed out, she was smart. "I bet you already know the answer to that question." She raised an eyebrow at him. Did he know?

for anyone who wants it
 
Okay so maybe it was a bit cold to be wandering around the grounds but one Ella Bishop was feeling a little out of sorts. The small second year hoped that some fresh air would do her some good, maybe help her sort things out a bit. All she felt at the moment was sad. And that was definitely not like her.

Before she knew it, the girl found herself standing an appropriate distance from the Whomping Willow. She thought this a funny thing since it was the same spot she had sat in when she wrote her mother at the end of last term. A lot had changed since then. Sitting down with a sigh, the second year watched as the angry branches of the willow swayed back and force.

Taylor walked out to the whomping williow and put down a blanket. She sat on the blankey and took out her lute. Tay began to play her new favorite song.

Oichi headed out toward the grounds and heard beautiful music playing. She followed the sound to it's origin and it was not till she got there that she realized she had just walked into the territory of the whomping willow. Her heart started to race. She soon spotted Taylor playing an instrument and took a deep breath and walked right up to her and said, "That's a beautiful song. What is it? It's so calming even in this tense environment."

Tay finished the song and looked up to see Oichi, "Hey." She smiled at the younger girl. "It is called Bless the Broken Road." Taylor patted to a spot on the blanket, "Want to sit? It is becoming my favorite song... though I might be biasis since it is the first song Damon and I danced to together." A slight blush arose on her cheeks.

PuppySara 05-30-2012 02:10 AM

Damon walked up, he'd sworn he'd heard his and Taylor's song. He looked around, well, whatever it was is gone now. He started to turn when he saw Taylor and the younger girl from the protest sitting together, Time with her, or run away because I hate talking to most? After debating a moment he walked over to her, taking a seat next to her, "Hello, mi amor."

Tay smiled as he walked over and sat next to her. She laid down her lute and pulled him closer. Taylor kissed him and looked into his eyes, "Hello, mi corazon." She straighten up and picked up her lute again since Oichi was near them.

Damon smiled, kissing her back, "I'm not inturupting anything am I?" That was always one of his worries when he came around and she was talking to someone else, that maybe she didn't want him around at that point in time, so he always made sure to ask before just joining.

Tay smiled at him, "Of course not." She giggled, "I was just playing the lute and Oichi just came up and started hanging with me within seconds of you." Taylor shrugged and gave him a grin.

Oichi noticed Damon come up soon after she did and she quickly realized she was becoming a third wheel as she kissed him. She could tell that Tay would really rather be alone with Damon. However Oichi also knew about the strict PDA rules and really did not want Tay and Damon to end up in detention either. "I know the song you mentioned and I could play it for you and Damon to dance to. I can also sing a little if you like as well".

Ringo 05-30-2012 02:39 AM

Ronnie skipped down to the Whopming Willow, singing a song as she went. She was very happy today, because it was getting closer and closer to SNOW! She plopped onto the ground by the Whopming Willow, watching it sway. She sighed and smiled, and slowly leaned back onto the ground, looking at the sky, wishing snow was falling from it. But soon, there would be! She smiled at the thought of having snowball fights.

"I knew I heard our song somewhere this way." He smiled at her. He turned to Oichi, "That's fine, I'm actually not feeling well today, not much in the mood for dancing seeing that mixed with being upset." He sighed looking at Taylor, "We were so close to getting more time alone when Puck just had to change his mind..."

Tay shook her head, "No thanks. I dont feel like dancing today but thanks anyways." She gave her friend a smile. "So how have you been? Fly into any trees lately?" Taylor teased Oichi. Tay looked at him. "Yeah..." She sighed and frowned. "Your dad is evil, ya know?"

"Nay, I have not even flown on a broom since that incident. I did however almost bump right into a rather interesting tree today", Oichi responded. about how about you. Did you make you're house team? I did not but I am still young and it is probably for the best with my experience level. You however are amazing with the way you handle a broom. You even managed to save me twice,the seccond time risking life and limb showing incredible bravery with broom control", Oichi responded beaming.

Somnium 05-30-2012 03:05 AM

Taylor laughed and smiled, "Hmmmm you are just very danerous, arent you?" She teased her a bit more. Tay nodded, "Yeah, I did but I am only a reserve." She blushed with the compliments, "I am not that amazing or brave."

Milton actually laughed when Taryn flipped her hair. She was very... girly. He liked it. And normally, he didn't like such bubbly personalities, but she was an exception.

And... he didn't even get an answer? To the simplest question on earth? Milton looked at her with pursed lips. Okay, he was usually pretty good with girls. Just not figuring out things about them. They were complicated beings. BUT. Pink was always a good guess, so... "Pink?"

Gryffindoll 05-30-2012 03:02 PM

What the heck was up with this tree?! :whaa:
Still kinda new to Hogwarts, Edric had never gotten used to the Whomping Willow. Aside from rainbows, that was the other thing that scared him the most. He vaguely remembered a nightmare he'd had on his first night at Hogwarts, where the Whomping Willow was the star.
He shuddered at the memory.

There were TWO good things about the Whomping Willow, though: with all its moving and waving around, the evil tree was creating a nice, soft breeze that the freezing-cold-weather-loving lion quite enjoyed. The tree's other good point: not many people wanted to be near it.
So. Perfect place to avoid classmates. And we all know Edric's all about avoiding humanity.

Making sure to keep a safe distance from the grumpy old tree, the boy laid down on the grass, in one hand a book and in the other an apple. Yeah, he was always eating apples. Hoping to keep the doctor away.
