"Yeah...you're right..." James said nodding. He was sure that a nurse was there and taking care of Parvati just fine. He tried to breathe in slowly but he found himself still kind of shaky. "What if she's not okay?" he asked quietly, still freaking out on the inside. "She means a lot to me...I couldn't handle if something horrible happened to her. "What should I do?" he asked, looking at her slightly desperately. Something about Claire's presence was extremely comforting and calming right now, and he was unbelievably grateful she was here.

Claire McCann January 11th 2011, 5:55 am

Claire didn't have any idea what to say because she'd never had to deal with someone she loved in that particular way being injured. To be frank, she didn't love anyone in THAT way just yet. She bit her lip and rubbed his shoulder trying to be the best BFF ever in the entire world. "I guarantee that she's fine and if she's not, you are authorized to take away my favorite book away and throw it in the lake for ol' Squidy. She's going to be fine because you'll be there soon to hold her hand and tell her everything's going to be alright. She has you and that's probably what's keeping her positive, okay? Don't worry too much because you can't hurt yourself or you won't be strong enough to help pull her through this. Stay strong. Bring her something nice for when she wakes up. Not flowers or chocolate, too cliche. Bring something that will truly show how much you care about her. Something that will make her beam when she wakes up. Kay?"

**James Sirius Potter** January 11th 2011, 6:09 am

"Not flower or chocolate?" he repeated, trying to think of what Parvati would want. "But but but but but, I don't have time to get anything amazing for her! I have to go the Hospital Wing now to see her!" he panics again. "Okay, think. What does she like...what would she want...." he murmured to himself, breaking away from Claire's hug and pacing back and forth in the same spot. "I don't know what to do!" he cried, throwing his hands in the air. "What in the world would I bring the girl that I'm falling in love with, huh? It's not like it's her birthday! It's not Christmas! It's not... oh sweet Merlin I'm falling in love with her," he repeated with wide yes when he realized what he had said.

Claire McCann January 11th 2011, 6:38 am

"Flowers are overdone and no girl is going to want to eat chocolate when they're in a hospital bed. It's one thing to wake up from being unconscious, but it's another to start worrying about your appearance while you're injured," Claire stopped herself from rambling on about the reasons why girls were not interested in the cliche gifts in order to promptly watch James go into spaz mode. She opened her mouth to speak, but there wasn't anything she could think of that made sense. She was slightly overwhelmed by this 'falling in love' business and the yelling and everything. "Okay...don't get her something right away. Go ahead and visit her. It's probably all she needs right now...you can figure out the rest later, okay?"

**James Sirius Potter** January 11th 2011, 6:45 am

James nodded quickly, for he was able to handle this. He could do this. He was going to go and see Parvati, then sit by her side until she was better. No matter what happened, he was going to be there for her. "Thank you Claire," he said softly. "I honestly don't know what I would have done if I hadn't literally run into you. I probably would have gone right into the hospital wing, panicked there, and made a complete arse of myself in there. So thank you," he said, giving her a soft smile. He gave her a quick hug, glad that she had been there for him. "We'll catch up really soon, okay?"

Claire McCann January 11th 2011, 6:58 am

Claire shrugged as if what she had done was absolutely nothing, when in reality it was a bit stressful. He was freaking out and she was socially awkward and under large amounts of pressure to analyze everything she knew about women and their emergencies and what the opposite sex should do for them in a matter of seconds. "It was no problem. It's what best friends are for, right?" Claire slipped her hands in her pockets after she wiped a strand out of her hair from her face. She was startled when he hugged her, but she had to get used to it since they were friends. "Yeah. Just owl me if you need me. I think I'll be hearing more from you then the other way around, but sure. Hope she's okay!" Claire gave him a small wave before she grabbed her book off the floor and left the hallway.

**James Sirius Potter** January 11th 2011, 7:11 am

"Very true, I'll see you soon Claire," he promised, more than glad for their friendship. He watched for a moment as she left the hallway, himself calming his thoughts and emotions for a moment. He could do this. Facing her after realizing that he was falling for her, was going to be fine. Seeing her in pain, he would have to somehow handle. He could do this. He walked off quickly, eagerness soon setting in as he made his way to the hospital wing.

Lily Luna Potter January 24th 2011, 11:12 pm

Oh, look. It's the man who could be improved and be like me. *goes to steal Parvati except not really*

Andrew is walking around the castle and decides to take a nice stroll down a hallway where people can conveniently walk up to him and say hello. People like Angela Moon.

**Angela Braddock** January 24th 2011, 11:54 pm

[OMG IM SORRY. I GOT DISTRACTEDDDDD D:]

Angela too is walking down the hallway, though the opposite direction as this other young man. She smiles when she notices a handsome boy in front of her and slws down as she approaches him

Lily Luna Potter January 25th 2011, 12:33 am

Andrew notices a brunette slowing as she approaches him from the opposite end of the hallway. He's never received any attention from girls and this one is rather pretty, so he glances around trying to see who she's stopping for. When he sees no one, he instantly stops and points to himself. Well, this is new. He stops and smiles. "Hi!" he says jubilantly, "I'm Andrew. Er, um...you are?"

**Angela Braddock** January 25th 2011, 2:26 am

She smiled a little shyly "Hi! I'm Angela" she shifted her weight to her right side, and hoisted her book bag back up her shoulder to keep it from falling. "Haven't seen you around before, what year are you?"

Lily Luna Potter January 25th 2011, 3:29 am

Andrew grinned because he was nervous and when he was nervous he grinned and also his eyebrows furrowed in a strange way. Were they now? Oh well. He scratched the back of his head and shrugged. "Haven't seen you around either!" he said, looking at the Gryffindor crest on her robes. "Probably because you're a Gryffindor and I'm a Puff...~~we tend to hide from those who usually lead us to our death.~~ I'm a sixth year, actually. You?"

**Angela Braddock** January 25th 2011, 8:14 am

Ange laughed a little, lightly, at his nervousness. "oh a Puff eh? That's cool. I'm a sixth year too! That's crazy I've never seen you before." She smiled "You seem like the kind of person that gets noticed for being a nice guy." she blushed a little, realizing she was rambling a tad

**Molly Prewett** January 31st 2011, 3:51 pm

Molly is wandering down the hallway, on her way to Arithmancy. She's late, but no big deal. It's Arithmancy, it can suck without her for a while.

Cormac McLaggen January 31st 2011, 3:57 pm

Cormac walked down the hallway at a slow pace, not even paying attention. He had no desire to go to class whatsoever. He didn't even know what class he had. Nor did he care what class he had. He looked up to see a ginger walking the opposite way from him. "Oi! Girly! Aren't you late for class?"

**Molly Prewett** January 31st 2011, 4:04 pm

Molly blinks and looks around to see if he's addressing someone else. Nope. She arches an eyebrow. "Oi, boy. Aren't you, like, late for class too?" she returns.

Cormac McLaggen January 31st 2011, 4:15 pm

Cormac snickered. There was something about this girl he liked. "Like I care about class girly. It's the least of my worries." He looked the ginger in the eye, "Besides, who gives a hippogriff's left buttox about OWLs and NEWTs when I'm going to be a professional quidditch player. It's not like they'll just look at your grades and be like, 'Oh ho ho, you got a Troll in Divination, you can't join Puddlemere United.'"

**Molly Prewett** January 31st 2011, 4:23 pm

Molly tilts her head to the side, considering that. "Good point. But, like, why are you here then? If you're going to be a pro quidditch player shouldn't you be out, like, practicing or something? Then again, my best friend is an international player and he, like, studies proper and all that stuff, so maybe they totally care, or maybe Viktor just feels like being smarter at some stuff," she rambles.

Cormac McLaggen January 31st 2011, 4:33 pm

"Viktor Krum! That Bulgarian Bon Bon is probably studying like crazy 'cause his career will soon be over!" Cormac rolled his eyes annoyed by the thought of the quidditch player. "He can pull off the Wronski Feint and everyone suddenly believes him to be the greatest seeker of all time! Trust me, if I ever met him I'd have more then a few tips for him." Cormac kept rambling on and on about Viktor for a while longer before looking back up at the ginger. "Anyways, I haven't even ate yet. I can't practice on an empty belly. You know, teenage boy stomach." He patted his stomach.

**Molly Prewett** January 31st 2011, 4:40 pm

"Oh please," Molly scoffs, indignant on her BFF's behalf. "I bet Viktor could, like, fly circles around you. And in ten years time, I bet he'll, like still be able to do it!" Normally, this would be the point where Molly's Mama Bear instincts would kick in and she would drag Cormac to the kitchens and insist he eats something nutritionally sound, but he just insulted her best friend so that's not gonna happen. "So, like, if you're so awesome, how come nobody knows who you are, anyway?" she asks. She can tell from his Gryffindor gear that he's in the same house as she, but she has never seen him around, and she doesn't think he's on the house team, either.

Cormac McLaggen January 31st 2011, 4:47 pm

Cormac gave her an 'are you stupid' look. "It wouldn't matter if he could fly circles around me girly. I'm the keeper. Best in the world no doubt." Cormac casually fiddled with his shirt, pulling it down. "No one knows me because I just arrived, a bit late. I was working on important ministry buisness with my Uncle Tiberius. Nothing you'd understand."

**Molly Prewett** January 31st 2011, 4:59 pm

Molly glares. If there's one thing that's guaranteed to piss her off, it's underestimating her intelligence. She rolls her eyes. "Oh please, the only 'important' stuff that goes on at the Ministry is people paying them off to do whatever they like. As if that's even anything. What did you do, carry a sack of galleons? Pfft. Chikidziq,*" she says, tossing her hair over her shoulder and staring up at him, unimpressed as she silently thanks Viktor for all those times they got high and he taught her how to swear in Bulgarian.

*Wanker.

Cormac McLaggen January 31st 2011, 5:06 pm

Cormac stepped in closer to Molly and glared down at her. "No I did NOT just carry a sack of galleons girly. My Uncle and I were doing undercover work for the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures. We traveled the world capturing numerous species to be examined and dissected by the Ministry so that we're safe from monstrosities ! We caught over 20 species. We hunted for 3 months." Cormac gave a quick 'ha' type noise and then continued. "You wouldn't even know the name of most of these creatures or the dangers of them! You probably haven't done anything dangerous in your life." Cormac started pretending to be a girl and being over the top, "OH NO! I BROKE A NAIL! SPLIT ENDS! OH NO!" Cormac became serious again and stood in front of the ginger. "You wouldn't know danger if it hit you in the face." With that, Cormac flicked the spot between the girl's eyes, stepped back and gave a stupid, toothy, sarcastic grin.
