Harvey smiled and nodded "Yeah I think it does, saving the world no matter how counts as being a superhero. Not just the world.. but saving people from making a big mistake" yeah by getting him thinking about her in a new way, she had saved him from making the mistake of not realising how he felt about her. He grinned at her "Why is that so hard to believe? When it comes to you, I.. try to remember... ever.. little.. detail. You favourite things, what you like.. and love" he said looking at her intently "All of it" he chuckled as she said he made her feel like it was Christmas "Yeah? .. maybe we.. should be.. hanging mistletoes around the place too." he chuckled as he thought that he would stop her under each one and .. do what you have to do when under that mistletoe. He watched as she took a bit of her ice-cream.. and he did the same. He noticed how being silent now was very pleasant and it said alot more than words could say, whereas before when they were best friends.. that very silent was the thing they never wanted. But now the silence?.. it said everything that didnt need to be said... it just needed to be felt.. between him.. and HIS girl.. Ella. He nodded and smiled "Yes we will, its planned. You.. and me.. together here. Ice-cream with gummy worms on top.. just the way you... no.. just the way .. WE like it" he grinned as he put himself into that 'like' equation. Cause he was now seeing why Ella like gummy worm topped ice-cream.. it was amazing!! He nodded "To be honest.. so am I! " any time he was going to be spending time with Ella it made it exciting to know how much fun they would having just the two of them. He watched as she finished her ice-cream, he nodded "It was! I totally agree with you!" he then looked into his bowl and saw the last scoop that he had left unattended on purpose, now for the second part of his plan to be put into action "Ella.. be a nice girl and do me a favor?" he held out the bowl to her that had one scoop and a few gummy worms in it "Could you please finish this off for me?" he asked in an innocent voice.. maybe she would let him feed her.. that would be nice if he could do that. Whether he fed her or she had the ice-cream herself.. the main thing was that she would be finishing it off.

Saving people from making a big mistake? Ella raised her eyebrow at this, curious as to what Harvey meant. "I...I don't know what you mean. I didn't save anyone from making a mistake." Not that she was aware of, anyway. She smiled up at Harvey as he talked about trying to remember everything she said, finding it really hard not to kiss him at that moment. "I guess...I just figured what I say isn't really that important so I was a bit surprised. I mean...I dunno, I guess people don't really notice the small things so much." But Harvey did, and that was nice. It made Ella feel special, knowing someone cared about the small things. She giggled at his mistletoe suggestion, knowing she was probably pink at the moment. "You'd like that, wouldn't you?" She asked, amused. Not that she wouldn't like it...it would be quite nice actually. Blush. "So the gummy worms and ice cream is growing on you then, huh?" GRIN. "Mission accomplished." Ella was kind of proud really, to have introduced Harvs to the awesomeness that was that combination. She was really glad he liked it too. She looked up at him curiously when he asked her to do him a favor. "A favor? Of course..." Blink.Blink.Grin. "You sure you don't want this?" Cause it was ice cream! How could he not finish off his ice cream? "I mean I always have room for more but this is yours!" And she just didn't feel right taking it.

He saw her raise he eyebrows and said that she didn't know what he meant, he thought about how to explain it.. choosing his words very carefully for he didn't want to ruin this perfect moment they were having "What I meant was... you made me realise.. that I liked you.. alot. So you saved me, I mean look at me.. have you ever seen me this happy since you met me?" he smiled as she smiled at him, he then frowned a little "Well.. everything we talk about is worth remembering.. like.. like.. this! your favourite ice-cream... or.. your favourite gem, favourite song.. all of that is worth remembering. Even if its the tiny things such as .. me remembering how you wanted to save the world." he said smiling "Well.. I think they should!" cause everything they talked about was worth knowing and remembering. Plus it was easier for him, since Ella was his girl and she was special to him. So he was always able to remember everything that she said.. well mostly anyways. He couldnt help but chuckle as she giggled "Well.. I .. just might. Not telling" he chuckled some more as she was pink and plus she knew that he would really love that, and she blushed.. meaning SHE liked that idea?! oh!! he would have to do that sometime!! He nodded "Oh yeah!! it is!!" he smiled "Oh! it was a mission? well I am glad we helped you accomplish your mission, cant have you failing it now" no siree!! He knew that whenever he had ice-cream now he would need the gummy worms on top! She looked at him as he asked for a favor, he then nodded "I am sure Ella" he replied to her question "Ella.. its fine.. I want you to have it. I know how much you love it, so its yours!" he said taking her spoon, filling it with ice-cream and feeding her some. He then was taken back to the moment when he had fed her a spoonful of ice-cream as her best friend feeling a little weird, but now it felt just right.. he being her boyfriend and feeding her a bit of ice-cream

Ella chewed on her lip as she listened to Harvey, nodding her head in understanding. "Oh...I um...yeah." She was a bit surprised as she hadn't expected him to say that. "Well I'm glad you realized... eventually." Because if he hadn't, she'd probably still be waiting around for him, hoping he'd notice her like that. "And I'm really glad you're happy." Especially because part of the reason he was happy was because of her. It felt really nice to make someone happy. The third year smiled, her head tilted to the side, as Harvey told her all the stuff she said mattered. She squeezed his hand, trying to show how much that meant. "You're great, you know that?" She said sincerely, smiling warmly. The blonde continued to laugh at him as he said he wasn't telling, wiggling her eyebrows a bit. "Oh yeah? Fine. I'm not telling, either." And she stuck her tongue out at him playfully. Nod. Nod. Yup. It was totally a mission. An ice cream mission!... which were the best kind, of course! She couldn't help but grin when he assured her the ice cream was hers, shrugging her shoulders before eating it. When she was finished she leaned forward and kissed Harvey on the cheek. He'd earned that one.

Jumping down from the counter, the badger collected their bowls and spoons and brought them over to the sink. She rinsed them before walking away, knowing the house elves would insist on cleaning them. Heading back over to the claw, the small blonde smiled and placed her hands on her hips. "So...what now?"

He watched as she chewed a her lip as she listened, he would never get bored of seeing that...that was for sure. He nodded, he was glad too! cause look where he was now that he had realised. "I am glad too!" he really was! she just made him feel things that no-one else had ever made him feel! He felt her squeeze his hand and he smiled knowing that she appreciated that he actually listened and remembered those things.. he shrugged jokingly "So I have been told many times, I am not that great I just enjoy spending time with you and even if that means listening to you. Plus it was a way of getting to know you so it was a must for me to listen" and he didnt know if that meant that he was great or not! He then chuckled as she wiggled her eyebrows a bit and said she wasnt telling either.. darn!! she wasnt!! well that plan didnt go down too well! He chuckled as she stuck her tongue out at him "Oh! and why not?!" he asked her wondering why she wouldn't tell! He then smiled and watched as she ate the ice-cream, and he loved seeing how she enjoyed her ice-cream that he had given her. He got rewarded for that too with a kiss on his cheek, he put a hand to the cheek and he was sure he could still feel the sensation of her lips on his cheek. Oh he liked that indeed! could he get more of those?

He watched as she rinsed out the bowls and headed back over to him hands on hips and asked him what he wanted to do next, he jumped down from the counter and walking over to her he put his arms around her and held her there while he looked at her "Oh I dont know.. I suppose we coudld stay like this for five minutes and then we will decide what to do, like.. talking a walk around the grounds or the castle grounds" he suggested at the top of his head.

"Are too great." She argued, a small smile on her face. "Well I enjoy spending time with you too so...I guess we're in the same boat?" Which was good because Ella couldn't help but have this fear that Harvey was going to get sick of her and leave like her Mom did. She knew she should stop thinking like that but she couldn't help it, it was one of her biggest fears. The blonde grinned as Harvey pressed her as to why she wasn't commenting on the kissing subject. Shrug. "If you tell, I tell, Harvs." Grin.

The third year stood, smiling as she watched Harvey jump off the counter and walk towards her. She felt butterflies again and bit her lip, staring at him curiously. The blonde couldn't help but smile as he wrapped his arms around her and she took a step towards him, returning the hug. "A walk would be nice..." She said thoughtfully, figuring she'd need to stop and get a coat before they went anywhere. It was quite chilly outside. "Should we go to the lake?" Eyebrows. That was a good spot, yeah?

Sorry for it being a bit late, AND who is posting first at the lake?
 

Harvey chuckled as she smiled a little "Am not! but I think we had better stop cause we know that you will lose this arguement" he said to her before he nodded "Yes I guess we are, so that means as we said before that you are stuck with me. You cant get rid of me that easily!" yup he was going to stay with her for as long as he could! He saw her grin as he asked her to tell him but she wouldn't budge! so he decided that he would have to tell her if he wanted her to tell her. He thought about it and he decided that it would be better if he told her when he was right next to her.

So after he had jumped down from the counter and put his arms around her, butterflies were in full force here now. He then looked at her into her eyes, and revealed all with a kiss.. after a moment or two he pulled away "I think that answers it, does it not? and if not.. I would say yes I would like it" afterall it was Ella his girl, anything that was to do with her he liked or even loved. He smiled as she said that a walk would be nice, well it had been nice in the past so it was bound to be nice now. Him and Ella hand in hand walking, oh he was soo going to enjoy that! She then asked him if they should go to the lake.. "Wherever Ella Bishop goes Harvey Watson is sure to follow!" so if she wanted to go to the lake thats where they would go, it would be a little cold so they would need to wrap obviously!

EYEBROWS. Ella smirked, surprised at what Harvey said. "You think I'll lose the argument?" Grin. That was just silly. "I think you might be wrong about that, Watson." Poke. Poke. Poke. Giggle. The third year smiled when the older boy said she was stuck with him. "I don't mind that so much." Nudge. She didn't mind it at all, actually.

Ella was a bit taken aback and her eyes fluttered open as Harvey stepped away, brain feeling all fuzzy. "I...what were we talking about?" Cause she honestly couldn't remember and she shrugged, a sheepish smile playing on her lips. "Is that right?" She asked, amused by what he'd said. "So if I were to walk into the Girl's room, you'd follow. I think you'd be in a bit of trouble if you did that, y'know." Grin. She had him there, yeah?

Reaching down to lace her fingers with his, the third year tilted her head to look up at him with a small smile on her face. "Shall we?"

Harvey chuckled "Umm maybe?" he then looked at her and knew that it was in fact the opposite, who could manage to keep an arguement against her. The look that she might get knowing that she was losing would be enough to make him want to lose intentionally just to make her happy again, so he would leave it at that for now. She then said what he was thinking and gave him a few pokes and entertained him with a giggle of hers "Umm maybe?" was all he said to that, cause he honestly didnt know what to say. He smiled a knowing smile, telling her that she would win.. cause he wasnt about to say it while they were not alone. He grinned "Yeah? thats good, cause I dont mind having a certain girl by my side either, even if it is a long time" he would most definitely not mind having her stuck to his side, he enjoyed her company that much.

He looked at her as she asked him what they were talking about, he honestly couldnt remember either. "Er... something about me loving something I think, not too sure. I dont think it matters now... do you?" he asked her hoping it didnt cause he could honestly not remember a thing. He nodded "Yup thats right!" he said giving her a nod to confirm what he had just said, but she then stunned him by her next question "Er.. well.." she had him there, he had no answer at all "Ok so maybe not there.. but everywhere else, I would." yup! so obviously he wouldnt be going there but anywhere else he would be sure to go! He nodded "Yeah I think I would, but.. I can wait for you outside.. wont get into trouble that way" he said to her cause that was allowed, waiting outside the girl's room, no-one could tell him off for that especially since he would be waiting for his girl.

He felt her lacing her fingers with his and looked up at him, he kissed her cheek and whispered in her ear "Yes we shall, another adventure begins" ok so maybe the walk wasnt exactly an adventure, but it could be like an advenure or something

So the Ravenclaws were locked out too. Strange. "I think I saw some Hufflepuffs gathering down the hall." Before she'd entered the kitchen. So unless there was something really cool down there, they were probably locked out of their common room too. Which just left the Slytherins...and Penelope was pretty close to assuming they were facing the same situation. 'Cause why would only three of the four houses be kicked out of their common rooms? Why they were even locked out in the first place was the REAL question, but that much was obvious.

"Yeah, I didn't think it had." It certainly hadn't happened last year, and even Kurumi seemed to have been confused by it when she was up there, and she was a seventh year, so it probably hadn't happened during her years at Hogwarts either. "Wonder why it's suddenly happened now." And how would they even find out why?

Maxwell nodded. "It wouldn't surprise me...I wonder what this is...do you think it could have something to do with whatever happened on the train?" He asked, it was a long shot but hadn't it just randomly stopped working, and now they were randomly locked out? Nothing seemed very random with Magic.

"I don't know...What i want to know is where are the teachers? No one notices us wandering the corridors?...This is all just...weird.." He said not understanding it and not liking it. Why wasn't someone doing something, where was the Headmistress?

Sorry I'm so late!
 

Iraaaaaaaaa. Irrrrrrrrrrrrraa. Ira. It just sounded so princess-y. Better than plain old Jennifer. "Thank you," she smiled sweetly. "But Iraaaaaaa is much nicer."

"Yeah," Jen nodded. "You were too?" Ira was right. That was weird. "I didn't realise the other houses had been too." Meaning the other, less-fortunate, stinky houses that weren't Slytherin. No offence to Ira or Lilly. Hey, Lilly was Gryffindor too! That was funny! Wait, no it wasn't. "I don't understand why they kicked us out." Little girl blink.

Vanilla? Yes, Ira had a good sense of smell. "Just a hint," Jennifer said, heading towards the oven when she heard a small ping! from it. "Do you like vanilla?" she asked worriedly. "I can make some chocolate or something if you want!"

The recipe? "Sure. It's pretty simple! Just add a touch of vanilla flavouring to any old cookie recipe." Jenny glanced at the crumpled piece of paper left on the side. It was her great grandmother's recipe. Her real great grandmother's.

"I love ice-cream!" What twelve year-old kid doesn't like ice-cream? "Cookie and ice-cream sandwiches!" After taking the tray from the oven and pulling off her gloves, the young Snake hurried over to the freezer and pulled out a tub of neapolitan ice-cream and a big spoon from a nearby drawer.

do they know the headmistress has fled Hogwarts? :P
 

Ira just grinned. She did like her own name, short and sweet.

"Neither do I!" And apparently, none of the professors did. Or else they would all have been in their own beds by now, deep in sleep. "I just wonder how come none of the professors are able to correct whatever went wrong.." Ira said, in a serious voice, thinking. "Well... if this means a few days of no classes, I'm fine with it!" Ira shrugged, waving her hands in air.

"Hmm.. delicious!" Ira exclaimed, trying to please Jennifer, "To say the truth, my favorite is chocolate for sure! But any cookie is good cookie!" So no problem with Vanilla one. And definitely no need to do anything extra just for her. And was it that simple? Just adding chocolate to cookie mixture? "Er.. I don't even know the cookie recipe.." Though her mother had tried to teach her. And had soon realized that Ira just wasn't made for kitchen stuff. Ira looked at the piece of crumpled paper at her side. Picking it up, "This looks old. Your grandmother's?" Ira guessed. Because grannies were awesome.

The perfect snack to fill in these somewhat troubling times. "Oooo! Cookie and ice cream sandwiches sounds so YUM!" she grinned wide, cheerfully clapping, "You are great!"

Sorry for the wait.
 

Auuuuggh!

"Alright fine I give in!" Oakey said as he waved his hands in the air with disgust and surrender. "I'll give you my hand but once I'm free I'm going right back to not forgiving you!" Oakey reached both of his hands out fore the two girls to take and pull him from this sink once and for all!

dora and cassia, sorry it is SOO Late
 

Sarah stirred and stirred, meanwhile, Cassia found the tea, which was great. Sarah was not REALLY in the mood of going down into the greenhouse, not now when she was hungry
Sarah looked up, "yeah, one more stir". One more 360 later Sarah looked up with a grin, "TADAA!"
"Me too" said Sarah. Sugar rocked, Sarah liked about 2 tablespoons in her tea, or maybe it was sugar water.
"I ALSO want to lick the bowl" Sarah said. Compromising "Why don't we divide it into thirds, everyone keeping THEIR spoon to their third, that way we can all lick the bowl" yeah, licking the bowl was like the funnest part of baking, maybe it tied with eating the goods.

Cassia was watching Sarah stir. The girl was really patient ,Cassia would've gotten bored after a couple of stirs. It was good to have extra hands. Though some say that if many people participated what ever is being brewed would be ruined. Well, it sounded like that. However Cassia disagreed with that because in her opinion it helped make the job faster. And that what was important right now. Getting the cookies done!

And Sarah finished! Cassia grinned at her and peered down at the bowl. She didn't much about baking but she saw that it looked just like her grandmother made it. Licking the bowl? Cassia tore her eyes from the bowl and looked from Dora to Sarah. If anyone was going to lick this bowl then it was Cassia......or the three of them like Sarah suggested. "Yup three thirds." She agreed. Cassia usually gets to lick half of the bowl back home. Because her younger brother would be there demanding his share as well. Though a third seemed less, she wasn't going to complain. They all had the right to lick the bowl because they all participated. Fair enough. "Ok I'll divide them." She said reaching for a spoon. She stared down at the bowl for a bit then looked up at both Sarah and Dora, "Mind if you do it?" She asked. She wasn't that sure of her dividing skills. But she'd be watching like a HAWK!

Cassia put the spoon down leaving it to the girls while she went to grab three cups and a sugar pot. Because they all wanted it sweet. "Ok, we have to start baking right?" She asked.

"Why do we have to divide anything up? Can't we just get spoons and lick the bowl together while the cookies bake?" Dora said a little confused. Dividing it up would take longer than she cared to spend on diving up batter, and plus the portions probably wouldn't come out even anyway. They should just do it like she and West did ice cream over the summer. One big bowl and spoons all around.

She started to fill the cookie tray with globs of chocolate filled batter, then levitated the tray over to the oven and slide it inside of the large chamber. Grabbing three spoons, she returned to her new friends and handed them one each. "It's more fun this way too. How's the tea coming?"

Milton was hungry. Which wasn't really abnormal because he usually was. He was a growing young man and quidditch captain, of course he was hungry. Not that he needed excuses...

After tickling the pear (which he still thought was weird), Milton made his way into the kitchens and snatched up an apple. He eyed it a little bit. The last time he ate an apple, it was laced with sleeping potion and knocked him out. Milton glanced around before deciding he was probably safe since Anya wasn't there. He took a bite out of it and leaned up against the wall, watching the house elves work. Because eating in the great hall was just kind of weird now with all those ugly purple sleeping bags.

Minerva walked into the kitchen, she had just re-transfigured her hair back to the blue, after getting that horrible sticky feeling out of her hair from the gummy worm. She was a bit hungry and wanted to grab a snack before going off to the sleeping area and maybe doing some studying. She thought about the match earlier and how much fun she had. She knew some were not happy with her, but she didn't care it was fun.

As she headed into the kitchen she looked around and only saw one boy there. Hmm the Claw Captain she recognized him, but wasn't sure of his name. She smiled nicely towards him and went to the cabinet to see if she could find some cereal. Yes cereal seemed like the best option. Not finding any she looked around. Looking back towards the boy she smiled, "Umm. Excuse me.. you wouldn't happen to know if they have any cereal down here do you? I typically only come in here for hot chocolate and snacks, so I just wasn't sure." She hoped he would know, because she just really wanted cereal at that moment.

Seeing another girl walk in, Milton stared at her blue hair. That was weird. He had seen her around (it was hard not to notice), but it was even stranger in person. Blue hair... Milton nodded in reply to her smile and continued to nom on his apple. He watched her for another moment or so, wondering if her blue hair meant she was going to act differently than other humans... But apparently not.

He looked away again until Milton heard her speak to him and ask if the house elves had cereal. He stared at her some more and finished chewing his bite of apple... "Do I look like a house elf to you? How would I know?" There were a million house elves in that place and Milton was like, four feet taller than all of them. At least.

Sorry Min is going nuts on twitter...
 

Minerva saw him looking at her. She checked herself did she have something wrong. She didn't see anything out a place and just went about her business. She frowned at his answer. "I didn't mean it like that. I was just wondering if you knew." She rolled her eyes a bit, she thought he would be nice, but she seemed to be wrong. Looking more for the cereal she was about to give up when she found it. "Yes" Taking a bowl she poured some and went and got the milk. This was going to be great.

Looking at the boy she frowned and then sighed knowing what she needed to do. Walking over she smiled towards him, "While I have it out, would you like some? I can pour you a bowl." Yes, she would be nice to him even though he was kind of mean to her. "I'm Minerva by the way. Everyone calls me Min or Minnie though."

Milton continued chewing his apple obnoxiously and shrugged. "Well, I obviously don't." Milton didn't even EAT cereal. Cereal was for... peasants. Or something. He looked around again until his apple was finished. After tossing the core into the trash, he looked around for something else to snack on. Boys gotta eat, man.

But he was distracted by the blue-haired girl again. She was offering him cereal? Well that was NICE. Even after Milton was kind of mean. Which made him suspicious. What if she POISONED it? "No thanks." Minerva. Her name even sounded suspicious. "Milton Shacklebolt..." he said slowly. His eyes wandered back to her hair. Her BLUE hair. "Is there a particular reason why your hair is blue?" Curiosity got the best of him.

Minerva looked at the boy a little curious as he ate his apple so loudly. Then he was a little rude, but Min tried to shrug it off that maybe he was having a bad day. Everyone seemed a bit grumpy from the number of days it had been on the floor of the great hall. She leaned continued getting her cereal since he said he didn't want any and then leaned against the counter and began eating some. Yes, it was exactly what she was in need of. Thankfully the elves stalked in some of the most common things.

Then she eyed the boys behavior a bit, was he nervous around her for some reason, she just couldn't figure it out. Maybe a bludger hit him in the head to many times or something. Oh now we were finally saying our name that was nice. She smiled "Well it's nice to meet you Milton. I have seen you play quidditch, your good." Good for a Ravenclaw that was and not her fantastic puff team, but that wasn't his fault. She continued to eat her cereal and then felt herself blush and smile at his question, so that was the issue here. She looked up at him and swallowed her cereal. "My hair, do you like it? I call it Ravenclaw blue. There really is no reason that it's this color except my boyfriend is a ravenclaw and he likes the color. I enjoy changing transfiguring it to different colors." She shrugged, that was pretty much it with the hair, nothing special really. She just liked to change it.. Thinking of changing it, she thought about soon making it purple.

sorry this is so short xD
 

After glancing around a bit, Milton snatched up a chocolate chip cookie and took a good sized bite out of it. He nodded a little when she said he was good at quidditch. "I know. Thanks." Just saying.

Now back to the hair. The blue hair. It was only blue because her boyfriend liked it. Huh. "Hmmmmm... And what house are you in?" Milton didn't think it was Ravenclaw, or else he probably would have remembered.

Minerva was enjoying her cereal, yes Cinnamon Toast Crunch was one of the best cereals ever made. Taking another bite she looked at Milton. Oh the cookies looked good, she might have to get herself one after her cereal. Then she saw him take a big bite, wow he must be hungry. Minerva tried not to look to long at him, she didn't want it to seem like she was watching him. Then he thanked for like he was a bit full of himself, wow was this boy a snake or a claw...

She then looked at him curiously when he asked her house. She knew they didn't know each other, but they had been in classes together and she did announce some matches, was she that invisible. It had been a feeling she had towards the beginning of term, but lately she wasn't thinking it, but maybe for the most part she was still invisible to most. "I'm a fourth year Hufflepuff. I actually played quidditch the last two terms, but this year I have been doing the announcements for the matches."
