Notes

+Okay, I hope you all are enjoying, on with the story!

Cody was sitting in the corner of the Ravenclaw common room, staring down at the reply Gwen had sent him, tears streaking down his cheeks. The letter had stated pretty harshly and bluntly that she was taken, Trent had asked her out, and that she never like him and he needed to "find another girl to obsess over".

He walked out of the common room and went to a deserted corridor on the fourth floor. It was a favorite hiding place for Peeves, so most people avoided it, but Cody didn't know this, and neither did the other person rounding the corner into the corridor.

A/N: Okay people, I want you to imagine Swing, Swing by the All American Rejects playing in the background, it suits the moment

Cody walked down the corridor, but he wasn't watching where he was going, and ran right into, Beth? His blue eyes met her green ones, and they just stared for a moment before he got the nerve to speak up.

"Uh, hi Beth," he stuttered, looking down and flicking his fingers, "I didn't know anyone else was up here."

"Oh," she said in her familiar lisp, "I didn't either." Then, out of nowhere Peeves shot up through the floor.

"Nerds in love! Nerds in Loves!" he shouted, embarrassing Beth and Cody. Eventually, he left the hall and went through the wall, still chanting.

"So," Cody eventually said after a few awkward seconds of silence, "why don't I take you back to the common room"

"Thanks for offering," Beth said, "but I was trying to find Professor McGonagall's office and got lost, do you know how to get there?"

"Yeah, it's right off her classroom," Cody answered, "why don't I walk you there then."

"Um, okay," Beth said, blushing a little, "let's go." And with that, they walked off, their hands touching a little bit.

Eva had received a reply from Leshawna, along with a small packet full of white powder. "What the heck?" she said, and opened the letter.

Eva, I have a great idea, and make sure to send me pictures. Just out some of that powder in Heather's pajamas and facial mask. It's Bulbadox Powder, and she'll break out in boils. –Leshawna

Eva read the letter, and looked back at the small packet, and a grin broke out across her face. She went back to their dorm, followed Leshawna's instructions, and snuck away, chuckling under her breath.

Duncan had gotten Courtney's reply letter, that oh so politely asked him to reveal his identity to her. He chuckled at the thought, and sent her an equally polite reply, telling her that no, he would not reveal his identity to her, but would love to meet her on Saturday.

Heather had heard about Trent asking Gwen out, and was furious. Now she was more determined than ever to get Justin so she can make him jealous. Professor McGonagall had announced that there would be dances at Halloween and the winter holidays, and she was determined to get him as her date.

During that day, the students set off to their new classes, and let's just say that some of them didn't go that well.

Care Of Magical Creatures: Eva, Tyler, Izzy, Beth, Courtney, Harold, Trent, Bridgette, DJ, Geoff, Leshawna, Duncan, Gwen, Owen

"Okay," Hagrid said, "I'm gonna be startin' you all of with a big lesson, Hippogriffs." And he led them then to creatures that were half horse, half eagle. "Okay, what you do is real simple, you go up to them and bow. If they bow back, then yeh' can go up and pet them, if not, then get outa there. Make eye contact, and make sure not to blink too much, they don't like that. Now, which on of yeh' wants to try firs'?" he asked, and Izzy shot up her hand. "Alrigh', yer' up"

She went up to a chestnut colored Hippogriff and bowed. The Hippogriff bent its knees in what looked like a bow, and she went up to it and patted it affectionately. Hagrid seemed impressed, "I think she might let yeh' ride 'er Izzy, just climb on, and be careful not to pull out any feathers."

She happily climbed atop her and she took off, her head turned to the wind, her green eyes shining and red hair flying in the wind, causing Owen to stare. The Hippogriff flew her over the lake, diving dangerously close to the water, before coming back.

"That-was-AWESOME!" Izzy shouted, "you all should try, it's SO much fun! It was like this dream I had once, where I-"

"Okay, get into pairs and start working with one of the Hippogriffs, but don' ride 'em." Hagrid instructed. And the campers paired off, Gwen with Trent, Bridgette with Geoff, Izzy with Owen, Leshawna (reluctantly) with Harold, Beth with DJ and Eva with Tyler, which left Courtney stuck with Duncan.

"Don't try anything," Courtney warned him, "I'm already with another guy, and there is no way the likes of you is changing my mind."

'Oh really," Duncan said, trying to act like he didn't know anything about this other guy, "who is it, may I ask?"

"Well," Courtney said, blushing a bit, "I don't know yet. I'm meeting him on Saturday. All I know is he's really sweet and romantic, basically the opposite of you," she shot him a glare, "now are we going to find a Hippogriff or not?"

"Yeah, yeah Princess" he replied sarcastically.

"I seriously wish you would stop calling me that"

"That just makes it more fun. And anyway, technically, unless that guy you're meeting on Saturday asks you out and you accept, you're still available Princess, and I have every little right to flirt."

She just turned without a word, and bowed to a grey hippogriff, which didn't bow back, and stepped towards her. She was frightened and leapt back, right into Duncan's arms. Duncan didn't say a word, and enjoyed his few seconds of victory, before Courtney realized and went the rest of the class without another word to him.

Meanwhile, Owen and Izzy were enjoying their Hippogriff, and having a wild conversation that changed direction every 5 seconds. Since that would probably much funnier in your imagination, I'm gonna let you people be creative (hey, it does say "Unleash your imagination…, so deal with it)

"Gwen," Trent said, "I don't get how you can approach that Hippogriff. I mean, it's incredible to look at, but I'm not so sure I wanna go near it."

"Oh relax," Gwen replied, rolling her eyes as she patted the mousy brown Hippogriff, "it's fine, just bow, and when it bows back get over here."

"If you say so"

"Trust me"

The cool musician walked up and bowed to the massive animal, being careful not to blink. The Hippogriff stayed still for a few seconds, and eventually bowed back. Trent let out a sigh of relief and went next to Gwen.

"Now, was that really so bad," Gwen asked, laughing a little.

"Hey," Trent replied, suppressing a laugh himself, "I'm not exactly fearless like you are," he looked at her with raised eyebrows, causing her to blush.

"Hey Geoff, I want to know, do you know anything about mysterious love letters being sent to Courtney?" Bridgette asked with raised eyebrows.

"Um, well," Geoff stuttered, he hated lying to his girlfriend, especially when their relationship was so new, but Duncan had made them swear not to tell anyone about his plans, "not really, I mean, well, no, maybe, kinda. No, no I don't."

"Really," Bridgette questioned, her eyebrows in even higher arcs, "so you're saying you don't know anything about the identity of the person sending her romance notes, the person she's meeting on Saturday?"

"Courtney's got a man?" Geoff asked, trying to sound like he knew nothing about the topic at hand.

"Well, if you say so," Bridgette said, "but I'm really not sure I believe you."

A/N: You know, I'm not so sure the other classes will be as interesting, so I'm not gonna write about them now and let you guys tell me which classes you want to be shown the most. Got it?

It was Saturday, and the students were out on the lawn, talking in their usual groups.

"So, what do you girls have planned for today?" Leshawna asked Bridgette, Courtney, Gwen, Beth and Izzy, who had joined the group randomly.

"Well," Courtney started, "I have my meeting with that mystery guy this afternoon after lunch, and some party with Professor Slughorn at dinner. I also have some extra-credit essays that I should really work on…"

"I have a date with Trent," Gwen said, cutting off what would certainly be a long spiel from Courtney about all of her homework assignments, "and ditto on the party with Slughorn."

"Oh, you guys are going to that to?" Izzy asked, "so am I, and I have a date with Owen this afternoon."

"I have a date with Geoff," Bridgette said, "and I told Sara and Abigail I'd help them with that Transfiguration essay, they've been putting it off all week, and Willington grades to OWL marks even in first year."

"I needed some help figuring out our Care Of Magical Creatures assignment," Leshawna said, "I wasn't exactly paying attention in class. And the only person that was available to help me was Harold"

"Aw, come on Leshawna," Beth sympathized, "Harold's a really sweet guy, it'll be fine. I just hope I can say the same with my study date with Cody."

"Odd," Bridgette said, "we're all meeting with guys that like us today, and it's only the first Saturday of the year" her statement made everyone but Leshawna blush a little bit.

A few yards away, Duncan, DJ, Trent and Geoff were hanging out, leaning against a big oak tree. Duncan was getting kind of bored, he wasn't meeting with Courtney until after lunch, when an unsuspecting Harold walked by.

"Dudes, watch this" he said, transforming into a perfect copy of David, a fellow Slytherin exactly his size. He aimed his wand at Harold and whispered "Levicorpus" under his breath.

The spell worked like a charm, Harold was immediately suspended by his ankle, dangling in midair. This attracted a lot of attention, including that of the nearby group of girls.

"Duncan!" Courtney screamed, "put him down or I'll report you to the nearest teacher, do you hear me?!"

Duncan smirked and ignored her orders, and raised Harold up even farther in the air. "Sorry Princess," he said, "But I'm not letting you ruin my chance for a little fun."

"Why you little… that's it, I'm going to get Willington," Courtney screamed, her cheeks flush in anger.

"Courtney," Bridgette said, "I'm not so sure that that's the best idea. You calm down, and I'll go get Willington. Now, does anyone know the counter-jinx, cause I don't think Duncan's gonna tell us?"

"Well," Duncan commented sarcastically, "way to go for figuring that out surfer chick, but I don't think any of you know the certain counter-jinx."

"Yeah," Leshawna said, "except me. So I suggest you let my little homework helper back onto the ground before you find yourself in his place." She put her hands on her hips and cocked her head, motioning Duncan to bring it on.

Duncan smirked and raised his wand, "Whatever you say," he said, "Liberacorpus" and Harold was sent plummeting towards the ground.

"I got him!" Leshawna cried, and dove to catch him at the last second before he hit the ground. They heard a few slow claps, and turned around to see Bridgette standing with Professor Willington, who had watched the whole scene unfold.

"Hm," she said, "seeing how this has unfolded, I'll award 10 points to Gryffindor for Miss Freedman, 10 points from Slytherin for Mister Ward, and you have 5 more nights detention with me."

"Great," Duncan said, and he pulled out a small calendar, "then those can go on the 28th through the 2nd then" though nobody could see what he was writing, it looked as though he was planning a month full of detentions.

"Excuse, me" Willington said, "but detentions are not given on the will of the student's schedule, I want the most recent date you have open."

"News flash," Duncan told her, his voice rich with sarcasm, "those are the most recent dates I have open. I have detention with Sprout all next week because I made leeks come out of Ezekiel's ears. Then I got 4 days from Filch for trying to order Weasley's Wizard Wheezes merchandise. I got three days from Binns for setting off a dungbomb in class. Then I got 3 night from Slughorn and three nights from Flitwick."

"Well then," Willington said, turning around, "Mister Victory, I suggest you have Miss Freedman take you to the hospital wing, just so Madam Pomfrey can make sure you're alright. Now that that's settled, have a good day." And with that, she sharply turned around and left.

Leshawna left to go to the hospital wing with Harold, who was in a daze. Courtney was screaming at Duncan and phrases like "What were you thinking!" and "He could have been seriously injured!" came up frequently. Geoff 'escorted' Bridgette back up to the common room so she could help Sara and Abigail. Izzy left for her usual stalking of Owen. DJ went to show Professor Sprout a new plant he had gotten, and Beth left just for the sake of not creating an awkward moment.

"So, Gwen, do you think we should break the two of them up?" Trent asked, pointing at Duncan and Courtney, who were still having an all-out yelling match.

"Nah," Gwen said, "let's just back away slowly, and they probably won't notice us. She's busy yelling at him, and he's just staring at her."

She and Trent slowly backed away from the shouting, deciding to take a walk by the edge of the lake. They sat down at the edge of the water, there was no danger of getting splashed right now because it was to early for a lot of people to be swimming. There was, however, a certain danger that was lurking around the corner, and though she had gotten over her case of boils (thankfully, Eva and Leshawna have pictures) easily with the help of Madam Pomfrey, she now had a mission to complete.

She had finally persuaded Justin to go on a date with her (though it was mainly for the purpose that he wanted her to leave him alone). Since then, she had been spending every spare moment with him, trying to get Trent's attention. It really hadn't been working, he was paying about as much attention to her as a dust speck.

Meanwhile, Noah and Katie were continuing their love denial. They were both stealing secret glances at each other when they thought no one was looking. Katie would continually go to Noah for 'help on homework' and Noah would continually go to Katie to 'borrow something' or 'return something'. And no matter how obvious they made it, the only person that was noticing was Sadie.

Notes

+Okay, I'm leaving this chapter here, al of the dates will be in the next chapter!

+You need to review people! My last chapter got a seriously small amount of reviews, and if I don't get that many, I might think that people are losing interest in my story. (you're not, are you?)

+Here's a random chapter dedication: This chapter is dedicated to Remus Lupin, Nymphadora Tonks and their son Teddy Lupin.
