Misadventures in Hogwarts

I couldnt concentrate on my work. I slammed my book shut, and rubbed my eyes. I rested my head on the table, and shoved my wand into my pocket. I looked at my scraped fist.
"I can be so stupid sometimes" I thought. "Punch a wall....how stupid of me!"
 
After taking a few bows, I walked over to Rebecca and bowed saying, "Shall we go?" She nodded and got to her feet, to add alittle more to the excitement, with a flick of her finger and pointing to herself, he clothes turned into a beautiful light blue dress. She then put her hand in mine, and I escorted her out of the castle, we had everyone standing up clapping as we took one last bow at the entrance of the Great Hall and then left. Flame followed us, and I helped her on to his back. We then flew very quickly to Das Musikieum. Jordan greeted us in their Great Hall, the room was already decorated, He said, "Who's this lovely lady?"

"This is Rebecca Middleton." I said happily.

"Where's Karli, I thought you were bringing her?" He asked thinking I was cheating on her, when we haven't even sorted out our feelings for one another.

"She was busy preparing for the Exams, and told me to go with someone else. But I did alittle thing for her, I got rid of those nasty Slytherin boys that have been harassing her." I said as the music started to play, it was very up beat. Jared went to dance with Mary and I looked at Rebecca, after her preformance in the Great Hall with the changin gof her clothes, I was beginning to think there was more to her then met the eye.

"Want to dance? That is if you know how?" She said laughing, her face lit up and my heart was beating fast, I tryed to shake the feeling but I couldn't.

"We'll just have to see." I said laughing too. We made our way to the dance floor. She was an amazing dancer, especially to the upbeat music. Her body seemed to be insync with the music, every move she made was like you were looking at the song being played rather than hearing it.

The music slowed down to a slow ballad, it was in german and I couldn't understand it well, but it was very soothing. "I trust you know how to Waltz." She asked.

"I can, but I'm not sure I remember. Why don't you refresh my memory?" I said sarcastically. She drew near, I started to sweat, I never been this close to anyone in my life, Physically I haven't been that close. I lost my breath as she took my hand and put the other around my shoulders. I hesitated to put my other and on her waist, but I finally did it. She then drew even closer, taking advantage of my hesitation. Our bodys met, and I felt really hot and short of breath. I just noticed then that we were the same heigth. The danced stopped and I said, "I think we need to rest awhile."

"Okay, whatever you say." She said gently.

I felt guilty, very very guilty. I had loved Karli on but a few short minutes ago, but this girl was completely changing my feelings. I sat down with my guiltiness to sort out my feelings when she sat beside me and said, "Is something wrong?" I looked at her, my face was a white as a ghost, I had a depressed look on my face. "It's Karli isn't it? You love Karli, I understand. If you want to leave we can. I think if we get any closer it's going to tear you apart." She said gently, her voice was filled with true consern.

I took a deep breath and said, "You got it. I love Karli and I'm afraid of getting to close to you. How about we just rest for awhile and then we'll see how I feel." She nodded and walked over to the punch bowl so I could have some time alone.
 
"Josh, let's go." I said, breaking the silence."I have to do my homework, how about you?" I kissed the stunned boy's cheek again, and fled toward the castle to do my stuff.

"But he's trying to..." she didn't continue. "Okay. I'll ask him later" she said, standing up. Before leaving she watched what Johann did. "I knew it! He's really cool! I wish he's my brother." she said to herself. Running back to the Gryffindor common room, Berii was thinking all the spells she would've learn if Johann was her big brother. When she was walking inside the girl's dorm she was thinking about how Karli reacted when she saw Johann ask another girl out. Inside the girl's dorm, she saw her friend, Cornelia, in the room playing with Anna.

"Hey, Corny, if someone you like goes out with another girl, will you get jealous?" she asked.

"Of course, silly! Why? Does little Berii have a crush?" Cornelia, a 7th year, teased.

Berii shook her head. "It's a friend of mine, I think she likes my other friend but I think he just asked someone out and she saw it."

"Well, maybe your friend wanted him to go out with someone else." she said.

"It does sound like Karli." she thought, she looked back at her and grinned. "Guess you're right, thanks." Berii said, jumping on her bed. "Good luck on your date" she said, enunciating "date". Berii caught a glimpse of Cornelia's face she laughed. "Corny is blushing, never thought I'd see the day."

I sighed, reached into my schoolbag, and pulled out my homework.
"Hey." A voice greeted me in the common room.It was another 1st year girl like me, who was smiling teasingly. "I was outside, and heard that you like Jo-" "Um.....I'm trying to do my Charms homework, so-"
"Oh! I heard you were pretty good at Charms! Can you help me with mine? Oh, sorry, by the way, I'm Vannessa.You're Terra, right?"
I smiled faintly, nodded, and said "Okay.Let's start." and so we did.

OOC: Just to let everyone know that the dance is in Germany, Hogwarts is in England.

IC: I decided to stay and dance with Rebecca. We danced the night away I soon forgot about my guilt, but when we head home at 5:30 in the morning, my guilt came back to me. Flame dropped us off at the entrance and flew to Ravenclaws boys dorm. My face was white again.

"I'm sorry you felt guilty. But I had a great time tonight Johann. And I would love to do it again anytime." She said. She kissed me on the lips which jolted me back to reality. I found myself kissing back, I jerked myself away. She nodded as if she understood what happen. She then said, "Well, we got to go to classes now, it's Monday and it's about 9:00 in the morning. See you around." She said changing her dress into school clothes she then went to the Great Hall to eat breakfast. I hesitated to step foot in the Great Hall but I finally did, and I saw Karli there eating breakfast. I sat across from her and said as all my guilt came flooding back to me, "Hey, Karli.....I have to tell you something. When I was at the dance last night. I fell in love with Rebecca, but then I realized my heart belongs to you as long as you want it. So I said right before she left that I still loved you. She nodded and said I know, but it was fun while it last. And that was that. So now that I got all of that off my shoulders, how have you been while I was at the dance? I hope those boys didn't cause anymore trouble." My heart felt lighter and I realized that my love for Rebecca was a temperary love, but my love for Karli was unconditional.
 
Vannessa yawned. We had finished our homework at last.
"Th-thanks for helping me out, Terra.G'night." With that, she took off with her things to the girl's dorm.
I gathered up my own supplies, and followed her, yawning as well.
I fell to sleep soundly that night...wondering...
 
I was in the Common Room at about 10:00 PM. I was studying for the exams. It was pretty hard. I nearly fell asleep. When I was finished I decided to get some sleep.

Boy's Dorm

"Terra! Terra!" I groaned. She was tied up unconcious. I ran up to her but was stopped by the man in green. He pushed me down a hole that suddenly appeared. "TERRA!!!!!!!!!" I yelled waking up. I checked my watch. Man, I really need to go to bed earliar. After having a glass of water, I went to sleep.
 
Now eating quietly with Karli after I confessed everything that went on at the dance last night. I wasn't sure how she felt but I knew I felt that my love for her just grew stronger, becuase I was able to withstand temptation to love Rebecca, and stayed true to Karli. I didn't dare look up at her unless she talked to me, because I was afraid to meet her eyes for the first time. 'She hates me now. But the sad thing is I love her even more now and she probably doesn't believe me. I thought as I took a bite of french toast. Well, I think I should do something, before she difts away from me again.' I thought as I raised my head to meet her eyes. "After school, I'll help you with the exams. Or I should say, can we study together for the exams?" I asked hoping she would show some forgiveness in her voice, my knees started shaking as I continued to look at her.
 
"Okay", I said. "Glad you had a good time".
 
The bell rang to go, and we went to our first classes. At the end of the day I waited for Karli in the library. 'Okay, maybe she still likes me, I hope.....' I thought to myself as I started leaning against the outter wall of the library.
 
I spotted Johann, and I walked over to him.
"Hey", I said. "So what do you want to start on first? Or is there something else you want to talk about?"
 
"Yeah there is something else I want to talk about. But for right now, let's start with Charms. Okay?" I said as we entered the library. I got out my Charms book, waited for her instructions, cause I had never studied before, I just took the test without studing and I usually got a perfect score. But I wanted to make a better impression. "So what do we do? Just reread the chapters? Or what?" I said looking at my charms book. I turned to face her and she looked at me with a weird face, "So I haven't ever studied before. I don't know what to do. I normally take the test, and I usually get a perfect, but since I missed so many days of school. I figured I could use the study time." I explained.
 
"Okay, well I read all my text books over again, but I dont think you want to do that, and I read them all yesterday. You need full concentration to work spells, so you practice all the spells in your spare time, not with someone else. Im pretty much finished", I said.
 
"Full concentration? I do spells with less then half of my concentration. Or am I doing them wrong when I'm training for SAM meets?" I asked, I had a very confused expression on my face. "Cause if I'm doing them wrong, I'll change my training habbits." I said getting myself deeper into confusion.
 
I smiled. "No, the way you do your spells is the way you should keep it. But concentration is always good"
 
I sighed with relief, "I thought I was doing something wrong! Okay, memo to myself use more concentration." I said as I got the rest of my books. "Okay that was charms. How about Potions? I never really got that class." I said alittle worried about that. I stared at the book and said, "Let's save that for last. So how do you study? It's just memorization of facts right? So all I have to do is reread the chapters right?" I opened the Defense against the dark arts book, and started from page one.
 
"Thats not all I do. I practice everything!" I laughed quietly. "But you should do that later. Why dont we go for a ride, you seem to have a lot on your mind. Remember full concentration"
 
I closed my book and said, "Yeah, I do. Let's go. I need to relax." We wlkaed out of the castle and whistled. I rode Zach this time, cause I didn't feel I had the right to ride Soraya. We rode down to the lake and I dismounted him. I laid on the sand of the lakeshore, and just laid there quietly thinking. I shut my eyes and said in a relazed tone, "You know I love you right? You said we could talk about it later, and we're alone and this is later. So how do you feel about me." I then waited for her answer, I hoped she didn't get mad and run off like last time. I laid there still quiet hoping she was actually going to talk about it.
