"Oh, I met Gideon once, I think. He seemed nice, though not at all like Fabian- then again, there is no one like Fabian! I think he's about all the fabulous this place can handle. What year are you, by the way? I'm a fifth year," he said, absentmindedly twirling a strand of hair around his finger.

"I'm a 7th," she said with a sigh. "It's sort of sad, really. Leaving this place for the last time. I'm gonna miss it, and all my friends but I can't wait to start traveling with Rolf. We're going to Sweden!"

Guest July 3rd 2010, 5:14 pm

"Sweden?! That sounds awesome. I've never been out of Britain myself, but this summer I'll be staying in Bulgaria with Viktor," he said happily. "But I do understand about leaving. It'll be lonely with a lot of my friends leaving, but I'm glad I still have more time here. Hogwartsis an amazing place."

**Ravenclaw Mod** July 3rd 2010, 5:19 pm

"Yup! We're going to look for Crumple Horned Snorkacks. The last time I went to Sweden we found an entire family. Bulgaria sounds nice," she said with a sweet smile. "Just watch out for Umgubular Slashkilters when you go. I hear they have a few over there."

Guest July 3rd 2010, 5:32 pm

Regulus chuckled. "Don't worry, I have faith Viktor can protect me from any Umgubular Slashkilters. But I'll keep an eye out. You certainly seem to know your creatures," he said with a grin. She seemed a bit odd and quite a bit mad, as by now he'd figured out that she actually did believe in all her mythical creatures, but her quirkiness was endearing, really.

**Ravenclaw Mod** July 3rd 2010, 5:41 pm

"I do," she said, nodding enthusiastically because Regulus hasn't run away or called her looney yet. Things were going well for Luna today. Mhmm. "I'm planning to be a naturalist after Hogwarts, studying magical creatures and such with Rolf. He knows his animals too. And I finally convinced him that thestrals aren't so scary. He really hated them when we first met. ~~Guess having sex on animals makes it sort of hard to be afraid of them~~"

Guest July 3rd 2010, 5:52 pm

Regulus shuddered at the word thestrals. "I don't blame him. I don't hate them, but I find them disturbing, honestly. But that sounds nice. I don't honestly know what I want to do after Hogwarts, anymore. I haven't put much thought into it," he said, look contemplative.

**Ravenclaw Mod** July 3rd 2010, 5:59 pm

"Yeah. I understand how people can think that. They're just misunderstood, really. Have you considered shampoo commercials? You certainly have the hair for it," she said with a nod, admiring Regulus' hair. Oh, the perks of being a Black.

Guest July 3rd 2010, 7:37 pm

-dies-

Regulus laughed and did his best hair flip yet, no seriously, THAT awesome a hair flip, and flashed his best smile too, just for kicks. "As amusing as the thought is, I'd like to think I can aspire for something a little more exciting than that," he chortled.

**Ravenclaw Mod** July 3rd 2010, 7:48 pm

Luna giggles and watches in awe as Regulus does a supermegafoxyawesomehot hair flip. "That. Was. Awesome. That hair flip would put Fabian Prewett to shame-- don't tell him I said that," she adds with a laugh. "Well, what do you like to do?"

Guest July 3rd 2010, 7:58 pm

Regulus blushed, because that is quite possibly the best compliment he has ever received about his hair its flipping abilities. "I- I have no idea. I mean, I'm good at quidditch, but I could never make a career of it, like Viktor. Maybe work for the ministry," he said, unsure of what he thought about it all anyway. "Maybe I'll make a living on giving hair flipping lessons. You never know."

**Ravenclaw Mod** July 3rd 2010, 8:05 pm

"The ministry could be good...Just, you know, watch out for Heliopaths. I hear Fudge has them in his office somewhere. Hidden. For future use," she says seriously. "And if you give hair flipping lessons then- well Rolf doesn't have much hair to do a hair flip with so I guess he won't be your customer, but if I meet anyone in need of your skills, I'll send 'em your way."

Guest July 3rd 2010, 8:30 pm

"Well thank you, Luna. I really appreciate the gesture," he said with a smile. "It was nice to meet you, but I've gotta go find Viktor, we're supposed to practice together today. I'll see you around, though!"

**Ravenclaw Mod** July 3rd 2010, 8:31 pm

"Alright, Regulus. Have fun. It was nice meeting you," she said with a friendly smile before turning and skipping off towards the castle.

**Scorpius Malfoy** July 11th 2010, 7:07 am

Scorpius leads Faye out to the grounds, stopping when the reach the reach one tree in particular. Seeing as it's night, he had used the bluebell flames charm earlier and placed the flames in jars. He then had hung the jars from the low branches of the tree, allowing for a slightly dim yet romantic setting. Under the tree, there was a blanket set up along with a basket and a rose. "Right, so...I'm not very good with this romantic crap," he says scratching the back of his neck. "I mean, you're my first girlfriend and this is our sixth month anniversary...I just thought it would be nice to have a quiet dinner together," he says while bending down and picking up the rose and handing it to her. "I mean, we've never really done anything of this sort, which is rather pathetic really."

Scorpius leads Faye out to the grounds, stopping when the reach the reach one tree in particular. Seeing as it's night, he had used the bluebell flames charm earlier and placed the flames in jars. He then had hung the jars from the low branches of the tree, allowing for a slightly dim yet romantic setting. Under the tree, there was a blanket set up along with a basket and a rose.

"I mean, we've never really done anything of this sort, which is rather pathetic really."

Faye hadn't noticed they had never actually been on a date until now, when she noticed all the beautiful flames flickering in their jars. She had never expected to be treated so well by someone she hadn't. Hesitant, she took the rose, and her gaze met his, "It's...it's lovely, Scorpius, really," she whispers still astonished to see, well, everything that he had done in order to celebrate their anniversary. Her fingers tighten around the stem as she stares down at the flower, wondering why he had suddenly chosen now to be this weird romantic type, "It's not pathetic. It means that we don't need the cheesy stuff to prove that we truly love one another. At least, erm, that's how I see it."

**Scorpius Malfoy** July 11th 2010, 8:12 am

"I suppose that makes sense," he says while leading her gently to sit down on the blanket. "I mean, don't get me wrong, it's nice doing this kind of stuff for you, but I think that if it was something we'd done earlier on, I would have felt slightly uncomfortable with it. I can't even picture myself doing this with another person, extremely discomforting thought. Well, I have dinner in here, if you're hungry that is. I err, I hope it's good. I had to owl my Grandmum for the recipe because I honestly couldn't remember," he says while pulling out plates, utensils, and a serving dish with Roast Beef, vegetables, and potatoes. "It's been a while since she's allowed me in the kitchen with her. Ever since a nasty little incident involving her favourite pudding," he says while dishing her out a plate and handing it to her.

Claire McCann July 11th 2010, 8:23 am

Faye sat comfortably beside Scorpius on the blanket, still staring at the grounds surrounding them as they sat there in the darkness. "I don't know whether or not I should be happy for myself because you can't imagine doing this for anybody else or sad that if we ever ended that you would never be able to do this for anyone else. I'm going to go with the happy because a six month anniversary is pretty satisfying, if you ask me," she says with a smile as he pulls out the food, "Well, yes, we shouldn't put the food that you worked so hard on to waste." She remembers his Grandmum, the only woman who had ever truly been nice to her, and nervously bites her lip. "Ah, pudding. That's a silly word," she murmurs, laughing, as she takes the dish from him and admires his cooking, "You know you didn't have to go through all this trouble, right?"

**Scorpius Malfoy** July 11th 2010, 8:30 am

"Yeah, six months is pretty satisfying," he agrees with a smile. He briefly thinks of the time he had told her that he wasn't sure if he would break up with her after they had sex. What a freaking idiot he had been. "Pudding?" he asks, glancing at her with a slightly bemused expression as she laughs. "I suppose it can sound slightly...funny. Though, I've never really thought about it. For some reason I feel like there's more of a reason you find that word funny than I am getting," he says shaking his head slightly. "I didn't have to go through this trouble," he answers, "but I wanted to. Sure, doing something like this was slightly odd at first, but for you...I like it. I love you and you deserve being treated this way, alright? There's no trouble in this at all."

Claire McCann July 11th 2010, 8:56 am

Faye remembers that time very well and can also remember how hurt she had been when he had said that he wasn't sure. Now, she realized that both of them had come a very long way from their original relationship. They had grown far more mature and she was proud of that. "Yes, pudding, as silly as that may be to you," she says, sticking her tongue out in his direction, "I don't have any idea what you mean. I have absolutely no stories that have anything to do with pudding. Nope." She moves the food around on her plate with her fork, watching him. His comments made her blush, her cheeks turning a rosy color, "Oh. Well, erm, thanks....I'm ashamed that I didn't do anything for you since this ia a two person relationship..." she bites her lip again, her gaze meeting his, "but I love you too."

**Scorpius Malfoy** July 12th 2010, 12:20 am

"That's all that matters then," he replies giving her a smile. "I honestly don't need or want anything. Just the fact that you're happy makes me happy," he says then takes a bite of his food. "That sounded horribly corny, as if from some bad romance novel," he says with a small chuckle after thinking of what he said. "Though, it is all true. Merlin, if my father saw me now he'd be confused as to the person I've become. I like the person you make me though," he says with a shrug. "That whole quick shag persona was rather immature and getting old."

Claire McCann July 12th 2010, 12:34 am

"It is a little cheesy, but I don't have a problem with it since I can tell that you mean it," Faye replies with a small smile as she takes a bite of some of the food. Scorpius wasn't that bad of a cook. ~~If you added his cooking skills with his gardening hobby, then he was probably more of a woman than Faye was.~~ She hesitates at the mention of his father, recalling that awful family dinner with a shudder, "I'm glad that you're not the 'immature' or 'quick shag' type of person anymore, but don't think you're the only one who changed. Don't you remember what I used to be?" she says, chuckling to herself. Not that I've changed enough. Faye pushes that from her mind and sets the dish down on the blanket, leaning back on her palms, "I think we can both say we're pleased with what this relationship has done to us. Even if we had awful lows."

**Scorpius Malfoy** July 12th 2010, 12:41 am

"Yeah, very true," he replies to her first question. Honestly, how could he forget? What with her being taken to the hospital wing for having engraved the word Tease into her arm after the first Gellert incident. Or was that the second Gellert incident considering it was the second time she shagged him? No wait, there was also the time at the Spring Gala, so was that tease thing the third incident? Damn, stupid Gellert and his stupid dick. "Yes, we've both had lows," he murmurs, his mind flashing quickly through the events of the past six months, "but for the types of people that we used to be, as horrible as it is to say it, I'm not that surprised. We've changed a lot to get to where we are today, and all though there are no regrets, habits are often hard to break."

Claire McCann July 13th 2010, 9:17 pm

Elise remembers all these incidents, but doesn't know how many count as incidents seeing as though their relationship had taken a few breaks for the first couple of incidents. Especially since they hadn't been together when she first slept with Gellert, but she doesn't care much. Faye looks back on all the crazy events that occurred: her smoking, the Ball, her drug use, her cheating on Scorpius, her cutting after the break up, him finding her when she went too far, etc. It was easy to recall everything, but it doesn't make it easier to witness everything for a second time. She sighs and tucks a strand of her hair behind her ear as she searches for something smart to say in reply. "At least our change was for the better. Maybe. You don't kill people in your free time, do you?" she asked jokingly.

**Scorpius Malfoy** July 14th 2010, 2:21 am

Kendra supposes that that is true with the whole 'incident' term, though all the things that Faye has done with Gellert have drawn some sort of emotion out of him. Such as the first time, the "I choose you Pikachu". He was not a happy camper after that one. "Yes, we definitely changed for the better," he says then smiles. "Well now, I can't very well go and tell you if I go and kill people. After all, who's to say you won't go to the Ministry and alert the MLE that there's a killer on the loose? All that I'll tell you, is that Malfoy Manor does have quite a few holding cells where many people would tend to have a basement."
