Chapter Twelve: campaign talk and strange dreams

After the Tuesday Feminine club meeting where we talked about flirting tips, some of the things were what Oliver told me but some was new and I thought about using them. I was in my own thoughts so much that I didn't notice that someone was running straight towards me. With a loud thud I was knocked on the floor, when I got over my shock and looked up to whoever ran me over, it was to see Minnie. That fact alone shocked me the most, why was she running around like a headless chicken? When she realised it was me Minnie smiled and sat on me

"Oh Luke, I've been looking for you!" She smiled looking like her normal half stressed self again "I wondered if you wanted to talk about our campaign on Thursday. The sooner we start planning the better"
"Err...Okay" I stuttered before patting her on her thighs "though I would like to get up from the floor"

"Oh right!" she squealed before jumping off me and helping me to my feet.

"So" I said once on my feet and brushed myself down "what things you wanna talk about so I can be prepared"
"Well at first I want to jot down all our ideas and get all the good ones down. Then we have to plan on meeting with the other year councils, we will be working with them closely this year. Then we have to think of our campaign name. Your idea about that weekly meeting is a great idea and I'm already doing the study sessions on Sundays. Oh! And we also must decide on what materials we want for our campaigns, posters and badges won't do this year"
"Why? Is anyone else running?"
"Yes, Suki of course but Sara is running too" Minnie explained and I shuddered at that but there is no way I was letting Sara win the elections! "Your reaction is as same as mine and that is why we must act now"
"Well then, why wait? Can we meet tomorrow?"
"Oh...Well, I would but...I got the debate club"
"Oh, well Thursday it is then!" I smiled
"Okay!" Minnie beamed at me before hurrying off but I couldn't help shouting:
"Be careful! There is a certain professor who loves to give out demerits to any student who dares run him over!" after Minnie and taking my words to heart she slowed down.

But seriously, I knew how angry Hieronymous could be if anyone "ran" him over, I remember when I did it last year before we got married and a week before the candle sale...

...Flash back...

I was hurrying down the corridor after using the toilet; if I didn't hurry Charlie would disappear into the crowd in the cafeteria! Unlike me, Charlie doesn't stick out like a saw thumb...The lucky bastard. I went into a run which was a terrible idea and I didn't realize that until I literally ran over someone sending us to the ground. Luckily for me though I landed on the person so the landing was soft for me but when I heard him hiss in pain I recognised his unique brown robes. Slowly I looked up just to freeze, angry brunette eyes were glaring at me with just anger that I would be dead if looks could kill. The red angry tint wasn't helping either. However, to my shame the deadly glare didn't stop me from blushing like an idiot because even in anger those eyes are freaking stunning!

"Are you going to keep crushing me or are you going to move?" Professor Grabiner hissed his dark rich British accent sending shivers to run down my spine. Whether the shivers were due to fear or desire I didn't know. But that voice did make me realize that I was staring and I was on my professor

"I'm sorry!" I squealed in embarrassment jumping off him, sill glaring at me Professor Grabiner slowly stood up and brushed himself off giving me the most terrifying glare.

"Ten Demerits for running in the halls, control your nature the horses here aren't prey you idiot" he hissed and with that he walked off and it only took me only a few minutes to laugh like an idiot at his terrible joke.

...End of Flash back...

Okay, maybe he wasn't so angry at me in fact he joked with me, made me laugh. Smiling and humming happily I walked to my dorm and he was grinning ear to ear looking smug and satisfied, I had no doubt why he was like that but I didn't ask. I really rather not know about sex with a girl.

That night I had a strange dream, I was sat on a rug that was rainbow coloured with a wolf laid in front of me. However, it wasn't a normal wolf, oh no, it had plants and flowers growing on it with leaves and sticks with bright green eyes. The wolf pushed a ball in front of me between my legs and with a laugh that sounded way to childish to be mine I rolled the ball back

"Oh Jupiter!" A woman's voice laughed and suddenly a pink haired woman with a cold crown, pink hair and jewel blue eyes knelt beside me

"Are you playing with your friend again?" she smiled softly before she softly stroked the wolf's head "Come Jupiter, time for sleep"

Yeah, when I woke I was very confused on why the hell I would dream that. Lately, to my embarrassment I dream about Hieronymous's large hands and what they could do to me. What was even stranger was in Magical Creatures next day we learnt about Environmental Wolves that could change between nature, fire and water forms. They are normally found in the Otherworld and like normal non-magical wolves live in packs. However, some royal families keep them as pets or protectors. You had to earn their trust by showing you were not a threat if you don't, well, they would basically burn or drown you to death. Curious, I asked Professor Rickman if there was a book with more information about these wolves and thankfully he told me said book without any questions. So, I grabbed that book before hurrying to my dorm room to read them. Then I arrived at the mailroom bringing my dragon bag which was slung over my right shoulder.

Slowly I walked into the room with a small smile on my face

"Hey Minnie" I smiled when I spotted her already sat at the desk with a notebook and pen

"Are you ready to talk about our campaign?"
"That I am!" I beamed at her before I quickly took out my own notebook and flipped to my idea page and showing it to her "all my ideas are on here"

I watched Minnie read my ideas, I kinda felt nervous about it.

"Wow, these are actually really good. I love your idea about having the dark dance down in the dudgeons due to the fact that the spirits can access it better because of the lay lines and the magical barrier, really shows you researched. The idea about flowers, hairclips, sweets, jewellery for Valentine's Day and the Candle booth is also good. Your idea for Secret Santa is also good because we should totally give gifts for people outside our halls and dorm rooms and yes, a card and a gift should be given. The idea of dance lessons will be hard though...I don't really know anyone who can teach dancing"
"I can do it" I said and Minnie blinked at me in shock

"I can dance" I said with a shrug refusing to explain why I knew. That is a secret I will keep to my grave if I can no point telling everyone that I learnt off watching handsome male strippers.

"I can do slow dance, tango and the waltz" I explained leaving out that I knew how to dance belly dancer style and flirtatious style. As some of the male dancers tort me whenever they got board during their breaks.

"Oh...Well that's sorted then. The regular meeting for the Freshmen on a Sunday is definitely needed and I'm already running the study group for our year. My ideas are based around the things you haven't listed. Their more about the land and nature of the magical community and the land the school is built on. I will tell you more about these ideas nearer to the time. For now though we have to come up with a campaign name for us. We will be running as one after all and since we're focusing more about the students I thought maybe we could be known as "The Flight of strong Students""

"The what?"
"Okay, so call me silly but" Minnie stopped there to flip her notebook over, turn it around just to show me a stick figure wolf with wings "I thought our theme could be like a butterfly wolf so it shows both of our halls. Our theme colours can be blue, green and purple"

"This is a brilliant idea!" I beamed and it totally was "it is out of the box and it just random enough to get the other students attention! Hey, do you think we could do cupcakes with our campaign image on?"
"That's a great idea! Now with the idea of meeting the other year council members, how is Sunday for you?"
"That's fine"
"Alright, Sunday after lunch come here and you can meet the other members then and we can also talk about our campaign speech"
"Alright"
"Oh! And by the way you need to talk to Jacob, he's running for secretary this year and well...He asked me to ask you to talk to him, plus he'll be good for the job" Minnie said and I smiled at her

"Alright, when can I talk to him?"
"On Tuesday, he said meet him in his dorm room which is number four in Flacon Hall after classes"

"Okay" I smiled

After that Minnie and I packed our things and went our separate ways. That night however I had another strange dream. This time I was sat on the floor playing with a wooden dragon while a man in noble white wizard robes with a lime green hair like mine paced in front of me.

"This is impossible!" he snarled
"I'm sorry my lord but it is not, we must do this to protect the kingdom" said an old elf who was stood in front of him looking up to the high ceiling

"I will not!" the green haired man shouted before the woman with pink hair and blue eyes from my last dream rush into the room.

"Honey, what did I say about shouting in front of Jupiter?!" she hisses as she picked me up and placed me on her hip as she carried me, yup, I was totally not my real age but much, much younger. Around three perhaps?

The dream ended there and all I thought about was what on earth Petunia would say to this if I shared this dream during that bonfire thing we did last year...In fact what did she say last year? Oh right...Meditate on the meaning...Yeah, no thank you! I know why I'm dreaming about this. In both Magical Traditions and Law were learning about Elf Royalty and it is on my mind. It's just like if I read a story. I end up dreaming about it or making my own world and characters. But I totally like the name Jupiter, go brain for making that up!

The dreams usually last around a month until it stops though...

On Friday I delivered all the mail after classes and finally wrote to mum. It felt so good to tell her about me and Hieronymous, I just told her the truth...Well, not that we're married of course but that Hieronymous was a good man, kind, sweet, patient when he wants to be, romantic and caring though he can be a bit stubborn at times. I explained that I loved him and that he loves me to and I made it perfectly clear that we're not having sex (yet) and he's not using me. I knew mum was going to write to Hieronymous anyways to give him her protective mum speech but I did ask her not to go overboard...Even though she will.

When Donald and I were alone in the dorm room,-which was rare I asked;
"Can you help me pick out some clothes? I need a second opinion"
"Sure" Donald said with a shrug. He actually really helped me pick out clothes for tomorrow which were really well-fitted jeans, a beautiful white frilly white feminine shirt that I made myself in clothes crafting club. With a pair of nice white shoes and I knew with some makeup this outfit would be perfect!

I honestly wait for tomorrow, for our cider festival date, bring it on!
