Hehe...

Now that was better. Mia liked it when she and Nikolai were on the same wavelength even though it took him a while to come around to her way of thinking. Although she was pretty sure he was ALWAYS thinking about THAT. He just liked to appear aloof for some reason.

"Very smooth Nikolai." she said giving him a nudge back.

Mia looked up at the ferris wheel and then back to Nikolai. "Yeah but still. It would be fun to sit up the top and look out at all the buildings and stuff. I bet we could see our house from up there." Okay slight exaggeration there since they lived in Moscow. The ferris wheel was big but it wasn't that big.

But apparently the carnie lady didn't want to stop the wheel so that they could look at the view. She was probably too busy counting all the money in her head that she was about to get. Mia handed the woman some money and tugged Nikolai onto a carriage.

Philip shook his head. "Not unless you count my 9-year-old brother as a kid. Well, he is a kid, but not in the same way your Niece is." He said. "He'll be attending Hogwarts soon, I think. They might be shipping him off to some other school in Scandinavia, but I really want him to go to Hogwarts. It'll be better for him than whatever they have out there in the rest of the world.." He said, quite convinced of the truth of his words.

"Aww... yeah, I hope he goes to Hogwarts then" she said softly as she noticed that people were moving onto the Ferris Wheel, she smirked and pointed at an empty basket, pulling his hand as she giggled and pulled him up and over to it. She sat down in it first- "Ooh, exciting!" she giggled.

Presley heard Luna's voice, and spun to see her. "Luna! I was just about to come look for you. I think Rachel may have said somthing about the restroom? I don't know for sure, it's really noisy here!" That wasn't a complaint, however. Presley was loving it. "Maybe we should go grab something to eat and wait for her there?" Rachel...where was she? Pres was starting to worry, more than a little. She was only twelve, and in a hugely crowded place like this, she could easily be kidnapped without anyone noticing. "Leo said to meet him by Ollivanders in two hours!" She had to shout just a little to be hear, but that was okay, the noise was like a comforting blanket.

Philip smirked and sat down beside Dani. "This is a tall one." He said as he stared up at the heights they would reach. He felt a little intimidated, but he was going to sit there and enjoy that ride with Dani if it killed him.

Dani moved and held his hand tightly- "Yeah love" she said softly, noticing he was a little worried, it was sweet how she just... noticed that. She moved and rested her head on his shoulder- "Don't be scared" she said reassuringly as she squeezed his hand comfortingly.

Philip smiled and leaned back up against Dani. "I won't, baby.. It'll be alright, I know that." He murmured.

''Oh fine that's alright then!'' Luna replied and looked around just in case

''Yeah sure!'' Luna was starving she loved the fair though ''Olivanders? Why are we going there'' Lu asked and she looked around again Abbie Luna thought ''Hey Pres do you mind if we meet up with my cousin I met her today and she says she was coming!'' Luna asked but she doubted Pres wanted to that was alright then

Isobel took a deep breath and nodded. Truthfully, she wasn't sure if she wanted to, but she would. She knew that she had to though, because she couldn't go through her life without ever riding a Ferris Wheel. It would be better to ride a normal Ferris Wheel, but this worked.

She gave him and shaky smile and stepped toward the Ferris Wheel. His presence itself was reassuring; she didn't think she could do it without him there. And then, he reached his hand out toward her. Isobel's smile grew a little and she took his hand. She climbed in to the basket and sat next to him.

"Don't let go of my hand, okay?" She turned to look him in the eye and she squeezed his hand quick. Her fright was growing by the second, soon they would be really high up in the air.

Presley shrugged in response to Luna's question. "I dunno. Leo just said to meet him there! Are you hungry? 'Cause I really am." To prove her point Presley's stomach grumbled loudly. Luna's cousin? Presley was always one for meeting new people, as long as someone else introduced them. And if it was Luna's cousin, then it should be really fun. "Yeah, no problem. Where would we find her?"

''Great i'm not alone'' Luna laughed she was starving and she was glad the were going to eat!

''Well she said she'd be around here somwhere emmm?'' Luna looked around for Abbie ''She's not my real cousin by adoption I didn't even no she was going to Hogwarts untill today'' Which seemed awfull because well just plain awfull really

Sean walked around the carnival, looking around. They had only just moved to London a week ago, so he didn't really know anyone. He ended up at what seemed like a giant version of London eye. What is it they're called?.... Right - a Ferris wheel. To begin with, he just stood there and looked around. What was he supposed to do? He really wanted to try it, but he didn't really know anyone. MERLIN he hated being new.

The instant Isobel's hand found its way to Damien's all seemed right with the world. Which was what made him feel so bad at the exact same time. This ride would definately have to be a place for the two of them to talk. About everything. About what he saw in the library, about what he'd talked to Lockhart about -- it would be the chance for them to clear the air, get everything in the open and stay friends.

Best friends.

But is that what I want?

Isobel's voice registered, and Damien's eyes locked with hers the second she squeezed his hand. "I promise," he said, lacing his fingers between hers. "I won't let go."

The Carnie closed the basket door and soon they were on their way. But not too far, because there were still people in line behind them. The basket, however, swung back and fourth slightly. Damien glanced over to make sure Isobel was alright. "It'll be better when they get it going and it won't be all stop and go," he said.

Seeing a few wizard coins in front of her, Jean's eyes got shiny. "Thank you, m'dear," She swept the coins from the girls hand and dropped them into the sequined pouch that hung from her neck. Leaving the gate open, Jean swept people in, making sure that each basket was as full as it could be.

"C'mon, we haven' got all day!" She called to her queue, noticing that the ferris wheel seemed to be the big attraction for couples today. All except for that one kid who looked lost. "Ay, you!" The short ginger lady raised an arm in the air, waving him over. "Choo ridin' o' not?"

"What else are they going to be?" Tyler said, he gripped the edge of the basket looking over as they got higher. Wow. She had a good memory, but then so did anybody compared to him. He was half listening again as he kept his eyes on his surroundings. He yawned. There's only so much you can take being in the air without controlling where you were going. A big circle, no sharp turns, spins, flips or anything. Just a circle. He could get more excitement from just watching somebody on a broom.

"What?" he asked, he could smell chocolate suddenly bringing his attention back to inside the basket. He turned to Rose and the chocolate "what type is it? he said.

Isobel smiled at Damien and felt the ride start to move. She was scared, there was no doubt about that, but she would have been absolutely terrified if she had been by herself. Isobel was drawing calm from Damien, comforting herself by his presence.

Isobel shrugged. She didn't really care if it kept going or not, she was too preoccupied with their growing height, and the feel of Damien's hand on hers. She turned and focused on Damien so she wouldn't have to focus on her first problem.

"Damien," she said slowly and a little guiltily. "There is something I should confess to you." It wasn't too much of a confession, she just wanted to tell him that he had not met Maybelle that day by the lake. It had been her.

'I don't know, bees?' Rose laughed. 'Oops! I'm boring you aren't I...' Rose said smiling. Her rambling annoyed most people... 'Well, what do YOU want to talk about?' Rose grinned.

'It's miiiiiilk! D'you want some?' Rose smiled evily. Then she moved to the other side of the basket. 'If you do...? Come and get it!' Rose laughed. The only way HE could get this was by pinning, as Rose was VERY fast when she wanted to be! And flexible enough to curve around him. Easy chocolate! 'If you can get this chocolate off of me, you get it! Now, your terms?' Rose grinned. 'Unless you're...' Is she gonna say it?


'Chicken?'

Maybelle walked by the Ferris wheel. She looked up and saw how high it went. She wished Jake was there, so that way he could hold her tight. It would be kind of weird if she went on the ride and it was someone that wasn't Jake, and they tried to "comfort" her.

Damien took a long look at Isobel as she declared there was something to confess -- Key word being "confess". Here it comes. She was going to get to it before he even had a chance to process how to bring it up. In a way, he was sort of relieved. Of course Damien would have brought it up somehow but it would have been in his own strange way. Isobel had always been very accepting of his -- not-so-normal behavior.

But he was still sort of glad she was going to bring it up first. Even if he wasn't going to like what she had to say.

The feeling of her hand within his suddenly made him feel incredibly sad. The same jolt of electricity flowed though him, but it saddened him to know what Isobel was about to tell him. But he promised he wouldn't let go, so he simply gave it a squeeze.

"I'm listening," he said simply as the Ferris Wheel took them slightly higher.

Isobel wondered what was going through Damien's mind. She wanted to know what he thought she was going to say. She was glad it was not something big; she would never want to hurt Damien in that way...or any way.

"Well..." she drew the word out, truthfully she was stalling again. She wondered how he was going to react. It wasn't that big of news, but well...Isobel stopped trying to think about his feelings and instead focused on what she was saying. "That day you met Maybelle at the lake...that was me. It was an assignment for Potions, Maybelle and I were Polyjuiced as each other."

Jake walked by and found Maybelle. He ran up to her and wrapped his arms around her waist. "Hello, beautiful." He said, kissing her cheek. "Want to go on with me?" He said, nodding towards the Ferris Wheel. "I promise I'll keep you safe." He said, moving her slightly towards the tall wheel.

Maybelle jumped slightly when Jake came behind her, but relaxed when he put his arms around her waist. "Why hello handsome." She said, leaning her head back so it was on his shoulder. "Promise you'll protect me?" She asked, she didn't want to fall out of the cart. She moved closer to the ride, feeling safe at his touch.

Damien turned and focussed on the horizon waiting to hear Isobel's confession that he already knew -- and then heard something completely different to what he was expecting. He blinked a few times and then turned to look at her.

"You -- and Maybelle were --" he paused, remembering the day he thought he met Maybelle. The conversation he'd had with her by the lake. "Hang on a minute, why would you be polyjuiced as your best friend and then choose to have a conversation with me? -- You said that you and Iso --" Ugh too confusing! "You seemed to indicate that you and Maybelle talk about everything. Including -- 'people you like' --"

Oh now his head was starting to hurt.

Danielle smirked as she held his hand and the ride started to move- "Off we go" she laughed as she looked down before moving and resting back on his shoulder. "So, I was thinking- candlelit dinner tonight? A dip in the pool?" she smirked at Philip.

Jake smiled at Maybelle. He turned her so they were facing each other. "I promise, you will be safe, as long as I'm here." He said, kissing her, this time on the lips. After they seperated, they moved a bit closer to the front of the line. He looked down at her neck, "You're not wearing your necklace." He said, wondering why he didn't see the heart with "Kiss me" engraved on it.
