Courtyards!

"Uh...strawberry please." Paige said.

"You got it, sweetie!" Gigi smiled and, after collecting the menus, left, her ponytail swishing back and forth. Seb gave Paige a sheepish smile. "Sorry, she's a little, erm, perky...all the time. And you kind of know what's on my mind. You smacked me for it this morning."

"Sorry abou that again. But Kaalee is a good person. The only reason she is a part of this is because she wants to protect Nara." Paige said.

"I get the sense that she doesn't really want to be involved in these things; at the same time, I've heard othe things from people who, I trust. And you're loyal to her, so I find it difficult to trust you unconditionally because you're gonna justify everything she does. I like hanging out with her, and I think that if we're together more I could really like her, you know, like that. I'm just really confused, that's all."

Paige bit her lip before taking a potion out of her pocket.
"This is a lie detecting potion. If you can take it you can tell when someone is lying. You can take it if you want. I'll answer any questions you may have and you can tell if I'm lying at all." Paige said

Sebastian saw Gigi heading toward their table out of the corner of his eye, and he snatched the vial from Paige and slipped it into is pocket just in tme.
"Here's your orders, lovies. If you need anything else, just call. I have nothing better to do!" Gigi chirped friendly, winking at them before returning to her post and magazine behind the cash register.
Seb waited until he was sure she was out of range before pulling the vial ou and inspecting it. "Why exactly do you carry a truth potion around with you all the time?"

"Because unfortunately I run into people who people who have a hard time believing me and usually my life depends on their belief on whether or not I'm lying." Paige sighed.

Serb nodded in understanding. He examined the vial for a few more seconds before placing it on the table and sliding it back to Paige. "No, I trust you," he said, keeping eye contact. "I trust that you care about Kaalee enough not to lie to me about things concerning her. Do you think either of us are in the right place in life to actually pursue a relationship, though?" 

*****
I'm so sorry I disappeared for a couple of months! I don't know if anyone still cares to continue this, but if you do I'm back and will attempt to be consistent!

(it is more then fine!!!! Sorry I took so long to reply!)

"I believe that it's because of the places you two are in that you need to pursue a relationship." Paige said after awhile.

He paused, chewing his lip as he thought over her response. "You think so, huh? I suppose we'll see, even if I royally screwed up with either a friendship or a relationship."

"I don't think so...Kaalee doesn't let a lot affect her like that." Paige said.

"Are you sure? You both looked really angry before."

"That's because we were protecting each other. She's honestly been really sad...with Mickey coming back and that not being good...well she needs a friend...one who isn't involved in all this shit." Paige sighed.

Sen nodded. "I understand. I'll apologize and hope we can get this worked out. I'm really sorry by the way. I'll punch cole when we get back for you."

"No...I was being a drunk skank. He had a girlfriend, I should have respected that." Paige smiled at him.
"But thanks for the offer." Paige said.
"We should probably go back before someone realizes we're missing." Paige said.

"Alright, but the offer still stands. Lad could use a good reality check in the form of my fist." Serb nodded and stood, throwing a couple pounds on the table. "You're probably right, as usual. See you, Gigi!"

Paige walked out of the diner with Seb.
"Thanks for listening to me." She said.

"No problem. Tanks for dealing with all my problems." He turned to er and held out a hand. "Friends?"

"Friends." She smiled, taking his hand and shaking it and as she did she shadowed them to the tunnel to get to Hogsmeade, just before entering school grounds.
"We can get back in threw here...Filtch doesn't know about this one yet." She told him.

"Aw yeah!" He yelled, pumping the air with his fist. Sebastian put his arm around her shoulder, saying, "Paige, love, I believe this is the start or a very beautiful friendship."

(Sorry sorry, I just got back from a wifi less vacation!)

(I know lol how was it? The land of the living and all...I can only dream about it from here...oh and did you hear the 12th doctor was announced?????!!!!)

Paige laughed and walked to the entrance on the schools side of the tunnel, peaking out and checking to make sure no one was there.
"Boo." Kaalee said from right next to the entrance so Paige didn't see her right away.
"Ahh!" Paige screamed before Kaalee put a hand over her mouth.
"Shh!" Kaalee hissed.

(It was great! I don't remember half of it...but it was a blast lol. And yes!!! OMG he's perfect for the role, holy cow.)

Sebastian jumped at the noise, and had his wand out and was halfway through a hex when he realized who it was. Then, he dropped his arm to his side, gasping and clutching his heart. "Sweet Merlin's beard, Kaalee, you scared the piss outta me. I thought it was Filch or Snaps, the bloody bastard. No offense, mind you, but he's thrown me in detentions more times than I can count and I swear my fingers were raw for weeks after he made me scrub the bleeding spare cauldrons with his mysterious soap."

(Thank God you said that! I'm about ready to kill half the people on tumblr...someone even got pissed because he's Scottish and not English! Gah I was about ready to just quit Tumblr but then I wouldn't get my Sherlock updates lol)

"Sorry." Kaalee said, smiling sheepishly.
"Well I'm off to the dungons! G'night you two! Don't do anything I wouldn't do!" Paige smiled as she skipped off.
"That's doesn't leave much we can't do." Kaalee called out and Paige winked at her before disappearing out of view.
"Sorry about that again...I wasn't expecting you with her." Kaalee said, biting her lip.

(Yeah, I know! You would think the fandom would be used to change in the show, but there are still those people. After at least a couple of the episodes, they'll change their mind most likely.)

He leaned back against the wall and gave her a sidelong smile, half of his face in shadow. "Well, I'm just glad that I didn't finish the hex--it was quite the nasty one. And yeah, we both needed to get things sorted out. I guess I owe you an apology of my own, huh?"

(yeah...hopefully lol)

Kaalee shook her head.
"No...I was being a bitch. You have no reason to apologize." Kaalee said.
