Ch 10 Promises Broken
Clarissa turned around and saw Xander, dressed in his school robes and uniform and looking stressed.
"Yes?" He questioned slyly
"Er..." Clarissa couldn't hold it anymore, she kissed him deeply and said, "I'm sorry for all this crap, I've never been able to make up my mind until now. I'm sorry." Clarissa repeated
"What are you sorry about?" Xander said surprised
"Everything." Clarissa said
"Well, now that we've got that cleared up, you have nothing to be sorry about, because, Clarissa, I love you."

"What were you two doing outside on the Garden??" Snape questioned Helena and Brody
"Er...admiring the view, sir." Brody said
"Hah, like I'd believe that you two." Snape spat
"But sir, we weren't doing anything!" Helena insisted
"Just for talking back, Miss Comiastra, that's two weeks of detention and 25 points from Slytherin." Snape said, happy with himself
Helena's jaw dropped open, flabbergasted.
"And, Mr. Conoway-Nevuz, 25 points from Slytherin." Snape continued, ignoring Helena's face "And you are not permitted to return to the dance, please go back to your common room."

"So, you're from Surrey, are you?" Adam questioned
"Yep, possibly the dullest town in all of Britain." Necia grinned
"Ah, I beg to differ. This nameless town in Norway where I used to live was quite bad."
"Oh really, so that's where Durmstrang's settled then, Norway?"
"No, Durmstr—"Adam stopped "I can't tell you."
"How come? You know where Hogwarts is," Necia mock-pouted
"I can't, it's against the rules." Adam said seriously and turned to look at the lake
"Oh okay, well I'm gonna head back before Snape catches us." Necia grinned "Bye Adam."

Corin sat in her dorm room, wearing her pajamas and waiting for Necia. Finally the dark headed girl walked through the door, grinning.
"Where have you been???" Corin questioned
"I—"Necia started
"Christoph and I were worried sick, we searched everywhere and couldn't find you, finally, Snape caught us, and now I have two weeks of detention!" Corin sputtered
"I—"Necia tried to continue
"Do you realize how angry my parents are going to be??! Do you realize what this is going to look like on my resume?"
"Corin, take a breath." Necia said in a rather soothing voice
"I CAN'T! I've got detention after holidays IN THE DUNGION! ALL BECAUSE OF YOU!"
"I DIDN'T CHOOSE FOR YOU TO COME GALAVANTING AROUND THE CASTLE LOOKING FOR ME, DID I?"
"NO, BUT IT'S MY JOB TO CARE!"
"Corin—"
"NO, I DON'T WANT ANY OF YOUR REVERSE PSCHOLOGY, I HAVE TO GO PICK OUT MY OUTFIT FOR THE HOLIDAYS, I'M GOING HOME."

Adam sat down on his bed in the ship and undressed into his boxers and got into his bed, thinking of Necia. She was funny, beautiful, clever—in other words, Helena. Adam thought she was perfect, but only because she reminded him of his former love—who didn't love him anymore. It saddened Adam that he had tried to gain her back, but didn't get anything but hurtful words. Maybe he could attempt after the second task, but what was the point? He needed to move on, and Necia might be able to do that for him.
He hoped.
