He took a bite of cheesecake and smiled at Damon, "You know me so well, brat." Sage laughed and smiled. "Oh, you dont have a choice in the matter though." He ruffled his hair, "I am kidnapping you for a week and you have to deal with it." He smirked and continued to eat the piece of cheesecake.

Ariana smiled when Damon said he'd "maybe" want to spend christmas with her. it was good that he wanted to spend the holidays with her cause it was always the hardest time of year for her. she closed her eyes briefly when he kissed her forehead and watched as he walked away and before she knew it he was back with WATER. she took a few sips before putting the glass down "thank you Damon." she said to him for getting her some water. but then apparently damon had no choice in being "kidnapped" and she wanted to frown but the didnt she just ran her pointer finger along the outside of the glass.

"Maybe I'll go into hiding where you can't find me. Because you aren't good with tracking spells." Damon smirked at him, then smiled at Ariana, "And if she wants me around on the holidays, sorry to say, you won't be taking me away."
Damon smiled, "If I can get you anything else love, just let me know." He lightly took her free hand in his, "And he knows I'm serious, if you want me here, he won't be taking me."

Sage stuck out his cheesecake-covered tongue at his nephew, "I will find a way." At that, he went back to his cheesecake like a happy kid.

Ariana chuckled when he talked about going into hiding from him, and then he began to defend himself on staying for her :p in your face mr weirdo uncle she thought to herself she grabbed his hand and held it firmly not wanting to ever let go "I'm Fine for now but thank you love." she said to him as she still tried to avoid eye contact with the uncle knowing that if she did she might just get hounded with questions about herself

Kurumi sort of just stared at Tag for several loooooooooong moments, blinking at him in utter disbelief. Okay...he wasn't a first year now...and he could read, right? Kurumi was pretty sure she had seen him reading in the common room or over at the study tables with Anya and Penelope before...so...um...

"Why are you here?" Kurumi asked as gently as house elfly possible while she wiggled her fingers in the air. "You told me the Three Broomsticks...this is Madame Puddifoot's." Not that Kurumi minded this setting, she actually preferred it to the Three Broomsticks which always got so loud.

"Sure you will Sage, the same day pigs'll fly..." Damon smiled, then quickly added, "Without magical help," Damon shook his head then smiled at Ariana, "You're amazing, love." He looked at Sage, "Well, Sage... You've surprised me, but I don't suppose you could let the two of us be alone for a bit, could you?"

Jared gave a slight laugh. It was cute seeing her worry like this. "As long as you're eating and keeping your strength up, the baby will be fine." Jared looked over the counter again and back at Scarlett. He coughed and looked at his wife and then her tummy. "Lets not get a head of ourselves," He started getting worried himself. Being unemployed he wasn't sure if his saving would cover enough. He focused back on his wife, "Sweety, you should sit, I'll wait here until we get seated."

Sage snapped his fingers in disappointment, "I will get a way to do that then..." He grimaced, "Fine..." He got up after finishing his piece of cheesecake and left enough money to pay for all three of them, "See ya later, brat..." He hadnt seen Damon since the first week of summer and he missed him but he asked for Sage to leave so Sage left.

Yeah i think your right she said with a smile.Yeah I just think I'm pretty big for three weeks.Scarlett went to find an empty table and sat down carefully.She started to bite her nails.

Lauraaaa | Minnie (:
 

Landon Hughes walked into Madame Puddifoot's with wide eyes and a terrified expression. This wasn't a place where fake zombie feet were made out of puddy. Oh no, not even close. This was like an actual date place.

O_______________o

This could either be extremely awkward or extremely great when Minnie comes. He cleared his throat and walked over to an empty table, taking a seat. He fixed his hair and picked up the menu. Okay, maybe this wouldn't be that bad now that he saw what was on the food menu.

Katherine and Lamey
 

Tag's eyes just sort of darted back and forth as Kurumi stared at him. Why was she staring at him like that? He felt like he was on trial for a small mistake. Maybe he shouldn't have gone to sleep so late last night.

Then she asked him why'd he end up here rather than the three broomsticks. An he wasn't really even sure of himself. He looked around the place and saw a bunch of boy girl couples. With an eyebrow raised and a cheeky smile he simply answered with a "Girls." Still, he didn't really know how he ended up here.

After spending some time in the land of bagpipes and men dancing in skirts and going through greenland and greenland and touring the city of Edingburgh Saxon found herself with Colin back at Hogsmeade. Just like the good old days.

She remembered what a lot of her friends had said about this place so Colin's taste of choice gave her butterfly feelings and a little unease too. This place had a reputation for bringing people together. Oh well, she still considered this a friendly gathering. Finding a table in the corner of the room Saxon went to take a seat across from Colin. "Have you ever been here before?" Saxon had a feeling he'd been here several times.

Ariana chuckled lightly when he talked about pigs flying without magical help. and then he asked his uncle to leave and Ariana could breath again with the just the thought of his being gone. she was excited to be alone with him again. it made her chuckle

Damon looked at him, "Ari, give me a sec." He stood and went over to his uncle, "Why don't you pick me up this weekend? We can catch up and get into all the trouble you want," He smiled at him before giving his uncle a hug, a rare thing to happen.
After he said goodbye completely to his uncle Damon went back over to Ariana, taking her hand lightly again in his, "He really is a nice guy Ari... And he'll always be there when his family needs him."

'Sure.' she said to him as he left to speak o his uncle for a moment before returning and taking her hand " i believe that, it's just i dont know, im really bad at first impressions so i tryed to not embarres either of us." she smiled

Maxwell shrugged. "Maybe...but part of me doesn't want to get there, the idea of life without her still hurts..." He said with a sigh. "Let's talk about something happy..."

Colin grinned a little as he followed her over to the table in the corner. Although a hometown visit wasn't a typical first date, there was lots of fun things to do in Edinburgh. Like visit the castle and take a stroll down the cobblestone streets.

Saxon had been a gem the whole time. And Colin had been doing his best to refrain from making any bold moves. Because he was a bold kind of guy. And Saxon here was... Blondie. He just didn't think she'd appreciate it.

"A few times." Colin said taking a seat. "What about you Blondie?"

Sage stopped and glanced at Damon. He searched his eyes and nodded, "Okay, the weekend it is." He smiled at his nephew and hugged him back, a little shocked, "See ya then, Damon."
"Like what?" She stirred her tea, starting to look gloomy.

.............what?

Deciding that she was just going to sit down and process after, Kurumi slipped into the seat opposite of Tag and idly glanced at the menu for a brief moment before her full attention was back on the Gryffindor boy. "So...there are no girls in the Three Broomsticks?" she asked, her interest tickled slightly. "Or...is there a certain girl in here that you are wanting to keep an eye on."

Oh! See Elijah! Kurumi had learned that expression from you! Keep an eye on and what it implied. Only Kurumi wasn't entirely convinced that it actually meant what the Hufflepuff said it did. Just like Richard never really seemed to mean what he did.

Damon smiled at Sage, "See you then," He have a small nod before turning back to Ariana.

Damon chuckled, "Sage is honestly the person you'd find under the word embarrassment. I love him, he's more my father than Puck actually. But nothing you said to him could've made him dislike you Ari."

"ok good, thats encouraging to hear i suppose." she took a sip of her water. "So the list for quidditch should be going up any day now." she said to him knowing he'd be proud either way weather she made the team or a reserve or not at all

Maxwell shrugged. "I don't know..There has to be something?" He asked wondering if their lives were really so awful this term that there was nothing good to talk about.

Tay sighed, "Yeah... how about the quidditch list will be up soon..." Taylor grinned.

Maxwell nodded. "Yeah i guess it will be, I haven't really paid attention this year..." He said remembering Min's last birthday watching her get smacked around by those bludgers...it left a bad taste in his mouth. "Did you tried out right?" He asked happy for her if she did.

Damon smiled, "You deserve a spot after you being knocked unconscious for three days." He ran a hand through her hair.
