"See? For you it's no big deal breaking things. But when almost all members of your family are muggles, things don't get fixed so easily," And that's why Jun wished the next year would come quickly so he can be seventeen already. But now he found out he had a cousin who was a wizard too. Jun had too many cousins to begin with. Some needed to go. Like pan-faced cousin Andy. He was the first one who would be thrown off the boat. She cried? LEX cried? Maybe not something Jun would've pictured so far. But sure it was possible especially if candy, mainly chocolate was involved. Still, he let out a snort. "Did you really cry for a day? You could've just eaten candy whenever your dad wasn't around. Or thrown some at him for being dumb," Maybe that would work? Then again her dad might keep those candies from her. So no.

Jun laughed and shook his head. "I'll just tell my brother to send it all. And I'm sure I forgot some for another friend of mine. And maybe a gift I bought?" He shrugged. Wow, his memory was just a mess now. Stupid aging thing that was going around. They needed to fix them already. Grin. I'm a hundred percent positive they're yours. I don't know anyone who likes chocolate that much for me to buy five bags of it," And thankfully Korean money wasn't so higher in value when buying things. He actually saved a lot of money buying all the candy he could.

Kace was glad to meet another new face. Maybe they could be the best of friends. Oh he wanted to know what house he was in. He should say that first thing when he meets someone new from Hogwarts. But he answered..."Oh i am from Hufflepuff. Kind of obvious isn't it?" he asked with a chuckle. Then he asked the same question, "I know you are not in hufflepuff because i haven't seen you in the common room. Which house are you in?"

Holding the rose close, she stared back into his eyes as she smelled the refreshing warm spring day scent of the flower, no doubt still matching it's color. She tried though, to compose herself, but his poetic words were a heartwarming road block to even attempt so. Possibly entirely unrelated to the matter, but she couldn't help but think she'd given the solar system gift just in time then.

"You haff a vay vith vords, Airey Flamsteed." she said softly with bashful smile, breaking eye contact for fear she'd blush even more. If that were possible. It must have been completely unattractive already, what with her naturally pale skin.

Perhaps ordering tea would make it better.

Mitchell just smiled and shook his head. "I was trying to not make you feel bad." he said. Yup. He'd been here for several minutes now. "Shall we head in?" Yes? Because it was still cold and as much as he was able to offer Delilah his jacket, he'd much rather be in a warmer place.

*plays major catch up*
 

Seeing a boy come inside and smile at her, she smiled back. Aww, he seemed nice and since he knew Emmy, he had to be awesome as well. "Hello, I am Lux," she told him in introduction. Meeting new people was awesome, and she was glad that she had came here even if it seemed that this place was made more for couples than friends. Oh well... tea was always a nice thing as was food!

Speaking of food, Lux needed to look at the menu and decide what she wanted to have.

Oh, there was Louis!

Still smiling as he ruffled her hair, she felt even happier because he was one of her best mates. "How are you, my lovely Squire." She would have given him a curtsy if she was not already sitting down, but oh well. "Have you seen Bay recently?" Just curious, because she had not talked to him in a little while.

Yaaay, Emmy seemed to be in a good mood too! That was always awesome! "I am happy too! I have never been here before." It still seemed like a romantic date place to her with all the flowers and hearts everywhere. Hopefully the food and tea would be good at least. "I'm really doing good, but I'm sad because I had to give my puppy to my sister to take home. I don't think I can look after him and do my school work at the same time." She missed her Coco already. But at least she still had Toffy in her pocket wherever she went.

Hearing talk about Houses, Lux perked up when she heard the new boy say that he was in Hufflepuff. That was so cool! "I am in Hufflepuff too!" Biting her lip, she tried to remember if she had ever seen him in the Common Room or at the Hufflepuff table before... but somehow she was drawing a blank. What was going on here? She was not suffering from this strange ageing thing, so her memory should be totally fine.

For Lux :3 *too lazy to quote*
 

Kace smiled when the fellow girl introduced herself. "Hello Lux, i am Kace." he held out his hand for a handshake. He needed to be polite. It was what his parents taught him. It was in his DNA. She seemed familiar before but he couldn't quite place it. He shrugged it off as he was talking to Louis.

Then he looked over and heard she was in hufflepuff too. He smiled and his eyes went wide. "Oh you are?!" he asked. "That is why i have seen you before. Small world right?" he asked her jokingly. "Are you recently new to Hogwarts, are you in your third year?" he asked curiously.

WHAT was wrong with that boy? It WAS a boy, right? It was too small to be a proper actual man, Ruby was sure of it. She'd STALKED him with great curiosity, wanting to have a good stare at this weird boy. Was it make up? Was he doing some kind of avant garde street performance? She walked right up and peered at him.

"What's wrong with your face?"

Emmylou bounced around in her seat. She was super happy and really hyper from her sugary breakfast this morning. She really needed to lay off the sugar...forever! "THAT'S AWESOME! This Hogsmeade place is so amazing." Maybe that was her new favorite word to use, 'amazing'. Yeah! Emmylou looked down at the menu. "I don't know, maybe some kind of tea." she didn't know if she wanted something to eat or not.

Emmy felt like jumping up and down and flailing around. This was the best day ever, she would have to come back here for her birthday in a couple of weeks, she couldn't want to be a teenager! It would be so awesome to be a teenagers and be almost all grown up and stuff like that. "This place is amazing." and maybe a little to girly for her liking but they had tea! "WAIT! You're allowed to have a dog here?" Was that true? Could she have a dog instead of buying an owl? She didn't have to buy a dog, she already had one. Emmy wanted to see the puppy really bad. She loved dogs and puppies but cats were a different story.

Emmy laughed. "It's some very advanced spell work that I can't do on my own." Emmylou grinned. The blonde had to eplain one important detail about the spell though. "Well I let the older students at Beauxbatons do the spell." Were the Ravenclaw's the smart ones? They had to be the smart ones. Emmy was smart but she didn't think she was smart enough for Ravenclaw. "I'm smart but I'm not smart enough to be in that house." Then an idea popped into her brain. "Do you think Hogwarts would let me use a Toucan instead of an owl?" She blinked at him, they were both birds and she could train the toucan to send letters and stuff like that.

Delilah raised an eyebrow at him but said nothing. She was totally ready to head inside at this point because FREEZING weather. Yeah.. the girl was probably going to ask him about this later because he was being weird. Kind of.

"Let's." She gave him a small smile before linking an arm through his. "I'm hungry and cold." More cold, yes.

Mitchell lead them over to a free table by the window. He pulled her chair back for her. "You going to tell me why you were late?" he asked. Because if she was going to bring it up, he wanted to know.

And now that they were inside, he shrugged off his jacket. "Are you still cold?"

To Caleb's dismay, no one came to offer him a cup of tea as he had been demanding, but instead, a RUDE lady came up and stared at him, very blatantly at that. He blinked and stepped back, cause she was like RIGHT UP in his personal space.

"Nothing, you should see YOUR face," he snapped, although there really was nothing wrong with hers, he just had no other comeback. "And if you must know I am infected with a very terrible and probably FATAL disease!" he added dramatically.

Probably NOT fatal. He hoped.

Ethan had wanted to take Minerva somewhere special for Valentine's Day and, while Hogsmeade might not seem like the obvious choice, it did hold special meaning for him in regards to his relationship with his wife for several reasons. After dropping off Gunnar with his parents for the evening, it was only a few floo trips away to the Scottish town. Ethan walked through the street with Minerva's hand in his and he smiled lightly to himself as he thought about the last time they were here for Valentine's Day. How much had changed in a year.

Stopping in front of Madame Puddifoot's, Ethan opened the door, allowing Min to walk in, then he followed in behind her. He looked for an open table, away from the crowd, noticing a lot of old people here. He'd think it wasn't a Hogsmeade weekend for the students of Hogwarts if he hadn't seen the occasional student mixed in, but maybe there was a special for senior citizens this weekend too. Not dwelling on it too much, Ethan found a table out of the way and near the back. "This one alright?" he asked as he pulled out the chair for her.

Kace was smiling and was glad she was enthusiastic about Hogsmeade. "Oh it is that awesome huh? What stores did you check out?" he asked her. Then he heard her choices and he was looking down the list of items. He didn't know if he was hungry or not either. He wondered what to pick. He decided on the steak and kidney pie. "I think i am gonna chose the steak and kidney pie..." he said smiling.

"My face is PERFECT." The thirteen year old stamped her foot. See her skin? No weird wrinkles HERE, just pristine make up, that made her look closer to sixteen than her true age.

... but she was MORE than willing to be carried off with dramatics, and so Ruby gasped. "Fatal? Is it contagious?" She sat down without so much as a by-your-leave. "I'm Ruby, who are you?"

Jun's sentence was proof enough that you learned something new everyday. She didn't know most of his family were muggles. Mostly because she'd never asked but assuming was probably just as bad, wasn't it? Sometimes she forgot that not everyone lived emmersed in magic. "Oh...yeah...I can see where that would be a problem. Which of your family members actually have magic?" She asked curiously. It was interesting how magic skipped some and went to others. Her father told her that sometimes it skipped whole generations. Kinda scary when you thought about it. He was giving her a look, one that said it was hard to believe and truthfully, looking at her now one might never believe half her past. Lex shrugged, giving a guilty grin. "I did, would have cried longer but he gave in before then. Thing is, I'm my father's princess. Back then, if I shed two tears I could get anything I wanted, no questions asked, no limits set."

She shook her head. "Breaking rules isn't as easy with him so I go around them. Him banning sweets would mean accio-ing all my candy and putting a jinx on my mouth that'd make eating any impossible." The downside to magical families. Things weren't always fair.

His brother was proving more and more useful. Having his full memory alone made him a great asset right now where candy was involved. "Lookitchu using Ravenclaw logic." It was true. Lex didn't know anyone that loved chocolate as much as her. If she did they would have bonded and become best friends by now. Eating chocolate for breakfast, lunch and dinner. "And what'd you get for your other friend? Do you remember?"

Perfect? That was up for debate. Caleb had never been a fan of girls who caked on their makeup, and this chick was dangerously close to that border. He scowled and crossed his arms moodily at her.

"Perhaps. Nearly everyone in the school is infected," he informed her. "And I'm Caleb. Ruby, you say? Do you even GO here?" he asked. Here being Hogwarts, of course. He didn't think he'd seen her before - but then again, he couldn't remember what he'd had for breakfast this morning let alone all his classmates.

Now that he thought about it, over the break his parents told him he actually wasn't the only magical member of the family. On his dad's side at least. His mum's side were actually all muggles. Except for a cousin, who was adopted from Japan when he was about six years old. But that cousin is now like twenty six or something. "I think a few uncles, aunts, and cousins on my dad's side of the family are magical. My dad is a squib and everyone on my mum''s side are actual muggles," Which was kind of sad because then his brother would've been magical too. Tut tut to you dad. But two wizard kids, who cause enough trouble at home is something his parents really didn't need anyway. Jun laughed. His twin cousins were kind of the same. More like, they would yell at each other, pretend to fight and have their parents get them what they wanted like that. Jun didn't understand how it worked but it did. "Back then? So not anymore?" Sounds like it.

"That sounds a bit drastic," He gave her a look. But thankfully he would just hide everything in his enchanted trunk so his parents could never find it. Yay for magic. "You basically survive on candy. Bet you had to eat vegetables and stuff," Because some of them were just plain gross.

Well, duuuuuh. "If I ever meet someone who likes chocolate just as much as you, I'll let you know," Thinking about it, Jun wasn't even sure if Char liked chocolate that much. He'd have to ask her later. Sadly, he couldn't eat so much chocolate without feeling really sick later. It was a given that there was less of it in his candy bag since like forever. And he planned on keeping it that way. "Uh," Could he even remember what he got Char? Maybe? "I think I got her a necklace since she likes jewelry and things like that. Pretty sure it's hiding in my trunk too,"

Delilah smiled as he pulled out a chair for her. She was quite impressed, mhm. Not that she still wasn't a little annoyed. "Thanks, Mitch." She sat down, still wearing her jacket. Yeah.. she didn't want to take it off. The girl was still freezing.

.... BLINK. What? "I was late!? You were. I'd been waiting for almost ten minutes." Seriously. She looked out the window for a moment before nodding at him, rubbing her hands together for warmth. "Yes, I am."

Emmy, Lux, Kace, and Louis! XD
 

"You're welcome." Mitchell said pushing her chair in a little for her.

"I didn't see you when we were supposed to meet so I walked a little and doubled back." he said with a shrug. He then took his jacket off and draped it around her shoulders. "That should warm you up." he said before taking his seat again.

"You see anything that looks good?" he asked.

Once Minerva was seated, Ethan took his own seat opposite her and smiled widely at her words. "I'm glad you think so," he said, allowing his eyes to drift from hers to the rest of the little restaurant for a moment. It really was decorated nice for Valentine's Day, though he had never seen so many elderly couples in here. Must be what Hogsmeade was like when Hogwarts students weren't around, he thought. He hoped he and Min were like that too in 50 years. "I know it's not anything exceptionally fancy, but I thought it was someplace special for us." He hoped she thought so too.

"Yeah, I don't know," he shrugged to the question she had posed to him when they walked in. "Doesn't look like it's a school weekend," he added as he picked up a menu. Not that he minded either way. he still had a few friends left at Hogwarts that he supposed he wouldn't mind seeing, but if he didn't, that'd be alright too. "I wouldn't mind having you all to myself today though," he grinned. Wasn't often that it was just the two of them anymore.

"This is Hogsmeade, anyone can come here." Stare. "But if you mean Hogwarts, no I don't. My cousin does though. And maybe I might one day."

But this nearly everyone being infected thing? Uhh... maybe she didn't WANT to go to a school where she could get all old and ugly.

"What's it like, Caleb?" She purrrrred his name. Clearly something she'd picked up from someone much older than herself. "I mean, are you going to die?"
