well i knew he moved in but she didnt tell ,me that in her letter!" Ariana was now furious at millie, how could she not tell her this. she looked at taylor and returned the same fake smile "thanks."

Tay sighed a little, "You know what Ariana?" She looked at her. "I'm sorry for hurting Maxwell but it was better than leading him on okay?" Taylor down, "If i had lead him on, he would of gotten more hurt." She looked at the girl, "And I am sorry that I hurt you or insult you or whatever i did to you. I dont even know why you are mad at me except for hurting Maxwell." Taylor sighed.

Damon shrugged, "Sorry, I guess..." He walked back towards Taylor and smiled, "Shall we?" He held a hand out hoping to get away before anything else dramatic happened.

Ariana rolled her eyes at taylor but understood where she was coming from "then Stop kissing him then eh? your leading him on even more. alright."

"Dont be sorry damon. it's not your fault."

Taylor sighed, "Ariana, I have stopped kissing him. That day, he asked me for a one final kiss, a goodbye kiss so i consented then we kissed one other time but that has been it. We talked about it and we both said that we are friends and that is that." She crossed her arms but not protectively or angrily, just crossing them. "And anyways i would never kiss my best friend's boyfriend." Yeah, Min, he told. Tay looked at Damon and nodded, "Yeah, I guess." She took his hand, then looked to Ariana, "I'm sorry for everything, okay?"

Damon sighed relieved that she was. He smiled and started to walk with her, "So where to?"

Minerva chuckled a bit "No harm done and it was my fault that I landed on my head.." She still didn't know how to take Ariana, but this was a start, right...Then Damon said about Rowan being engaged, "Someone is actually going to marry him? Oh sorry, that came out wrong. It's not that I don't like him, but he acts more like our age is all." She then stepped back and let them talk. She then heard them speaking of Maxwell and the kiss, she turned on her heal and headed to Harvey and Justin, she wasn't going to stand there listening to them talk about Maxwell kissing Taylor anymore, she was over it and wanted everyone else to be as well.


Minerva laughed a bit "Why thank you, I really didn't think I was making the team this year so it was a great surprise." She then pulled the blonde and pinkish red streaks near the front of her acting like she was just noticing them herself with a smile "Thanks I did it this morning, I was going to more of a red, red, but maybe I need to think a little harder next time I do the spell, oh my head is fine, some how I was upside down and fell on it the other day is all." She did a side glance at Ariana but said nothing more about it.

Maxwell walked up to the willow, he was going to slip away into his spot but there were too many people there... He spotted Minnie and walked up behind her and put his arms around her. "Hello, beautiful." He said smiling, he had finished classes for the day and was glad to be done.

Tay saw Maxwell and started walking away with Damon hand in hand, "So where do you want to go to?"

Minerva had just went closer to Justin and Harvey to hopefully not hear any more about her boyfriend kissing his ex when she felt arms go around her. She gave a smile and turned. "Hey you, we were wondering where you were. Ariana was looking for you, said you were suppose to meet her." She glanced towards Ariana who was still talking with Taylor. At least it was talking and nothing worse she thought. She gave him a quick kiss and then turned. "Maxwell you know Harvey and this is Justin." She knew Maxwell knew of Justin, but it was good to have them finally meet. Both boys best be on their best behavior or Justin would find himself dancing yet again and Maxwell well she didn't know what she would actually do to him, but she did learn a tickling charm last term that she could use.

Max!!! ariana called out excited that he was there and alive "where have you been all day!?"

Harvey smiled as he saw her laugh.. "Well you made it last year.. so you were bound to get onto the team again.. so I am not surprised to hear that you did.. but its good that you did." he chuckled as she acted like she ony just noticed her hair "Red?" he was confused for a bit but slowly it dawned on him the reason as to why she might have wanted a red in her hair "Oh!! red!! right.. yeah that would have looked good too!" he chuckled.. and frowned a little he knew that wasnt what happened but he went with it anyway "Well I am glad it is.. next time try not to be upside down anymore.. and if you are.. if possible try to land on your feet" he smiled.. just then he realised that without knowing it.. he and Minnie were actually talking.. for the first time since that day right here.. so what ended here.. started again right here.. it was a good thought that.. so all he had to do was come here and all would have been well long go.. but he was glad it was ok now.. well he hoped it was ok between them. Just then Maxwell turned up and he smiled "Hey Maxwell good to see you again" he greeted him

He shrugged, "Where ever you want to go." He smiled kindly when another shooting pain rushed to his head. He stopped walking and was forced to sit down, "Have I mentioned how painful this is?" He tried to smile but it didn't work out.

Taylor forced herself not to look worried. She kneeled in front of him and took his face in her hands. Tay gently forced him to look her in the eyes, "Damon, all will be okay." She kissed his nose and looked him in the eyes again. "Just breathe." Taylor stroked his cheek, trying to comfort him.

Justin listened to the others as he continued trying to catch his breath. " Well, I don't about anyone else , but I'm starved." he said as he turned to wak back up to the castle. " Anyone care to join me? "

Maxwell smiled and kissed her back. "I had class late today, but i'm done for the rest of the day." He said smiling and putting the stone in his pocket. "Hello, Justin." He said politely.

"Classes?" He said as if Ariana should know that.

Maxwell nodded. "Hello, Harvey." Maxwell didn't know Harvey too well but he seemed nice enough.

He noticed Damon sitting down and complaining about pain. "Drama queen.." He muttered quietly.

He noticed the display of affection between Damon and Taylor which would have normally made him fuming mad...but he kept his cool...it was eating away at him though, like acid through a sheet of metal...how long was his fuse...

Minerva still had Maxwell's hand's around her while she was talking with Harvey. "Just because I make the team last year did not give me a spto this year, so I am surprised that I made it again." Minerva laughed knowing he was thinking her head hurt from the willow, it did to be honest and since it was over some time ago, that worried her, but her head hurt now from being upside down, but she wasn't going to get into it at that point. She glared at Justin as he totally didn't greet Maxwell and asked about eating. "No you can go ALONE if you want..." She pulled her wand out just as a reminder to him, but was distracted as Damon fell to the ground. She wanted to run over to him and see if he was okay, but that wasn't her job anymore. He had Taylor for that now, she tried to look away, but couldn't finally she just asked "Damon, are you okay? Is it another memory?"

ariana was busy being a jerk when she heard someone mention food. "Food!?" she looked ans saw justin headed back towards the castle she put one arm in front of her and shouted "TO THE DINING HALL!"
and ran to catch up with justin

Ronnie had nothing else to do, so might as well listen to the whole thing. "You can tell me the whole thing if you want. I'm not going anywhere." she said shrugging. It was also pretty nice to have someone to talk to when you were feeling down.

He smiled as he saw how happy Minnie was with Maxwell.. he hoped that this time it worked out for her.. she had been through enough already.. now it was time for her to enjoy being with someone... again.. "How are you? classes getting to a bit much?" he questioned.. knowing that for Harvey himself this was true. Harvey nodded "Ok! yes that is true.. but you still made it" he smiled .. when he saw her glare again.. but it wasnt for him this time it was for Justin.. then he saw her wand come out.. okay! just when he thought all was well.. he then heard her ask if Damon was okay.. Harvey looked around to see Damon on the floor.. he wondered what had happened he was just find a minute ago when he had looked that way.

" Nice to meet you finally, Maxwell. " Justin said as he walked over to him and extended his hand towards him. He couldn't remember if this was the same boy that scoffed at him when he went to shake the kid's hand. " Take of this one would you?"

Justin kind of chuckled when Minnie tried being mean to him... She was always busting his chops lately. But at least they were sorta normal now. : And I will, Wheatborn. " he said with a sarcastic grin.

" Well, then let's go, Ariana. I love a girl with an appetite. " he joked ashe offered his arm to her as they began to walk back to the castle. "I like your hair by the way..." He said trying to start some small talk. He didn't know this girl really but he was up for hanging out with new people.

Damon nodded to Minerva's question. He'd heard Maxwell mutter something, he knew it was something rude but he wouldn't call him on it right then. He looked at Taylor trying to relax. Only four more after this...

Taylor was stroking his cheek and humming a song. She looked at him, worried. "Are you okay, Damon? How many more?" Tay was craddling him a little.

Ameliah let out a long draw of breath. "I'll just give you a shorter version. When I was like 6 or 7, my parents died in an explosion resulting from a Charms experiment. No matter how much I begged to go to an orphanage, I was dumped into the hands of my Aunt Lucretia. I hated her, she hated me. So life was pretty much hell for quite a few years." She fought against the cold memories trying to break the dam in her brain. "So... when I was eight, I ran away. I was pretty much a little adult untill that letter for Hogwarts came...worked to pay for my own room at the Leaky as well as food. It was weird when I finally did go to Hogwarts in my first year, having most things done for you." she added thoughtfully.

"And, so, pretty much from there. Tay and Trinity's Aunt adopted me, and I did my best to forget Lucretia. So... that pretty much leads to today. She sent me a letter, saying she was just afraid of me or something stupid like that, and that she was sorry." Ameliah took a deep breath to try and control her temper. She was probably the only person in her year who still got carried away in her emotions, most of the time resulting in fire. "But, I guess, when you've been through all that crap in your life, sorry doesn't really cut it." She knew she sounded really cold-hearted, but that's how she was on the inside. Most days, she could put it in a warm casing and feel emotions besides contempt, but her Aunt's letter brought it all rushing foward.

Ariana Followed Justin "Oh i LOOVVEEE Food." she said as she noticed him offer his arm out of the corner of her eye she really didnt want to be rude but she wasnt very nice she she acted as she didnt see him offer it. Ariana Smiled "thanks." she said as she pushed her hair out from behind her ears reveling her red streaks she had in the front.
