"yes"Zick responded
"I don't believe you"Reva said playfully
"it's true!"Zick said indignantly
"Zick, I know you didn't fight twenty lions to get here, you were just late!"Reva said chuckling
"of course I did!"Zick exclaimed hiding a smile
"no you didn't"Reva said and kicked him playfully
"yes I did, plus, I'm never late to class"
"uh uh "Reva mumbled
"well at least not to Potions, Snape would probably make some Zick soup if I ever did"
"Merlin, was that just Zick making a joke?!"Reva said surprised "I'm so lucky I got to see this"
Zick glared at her "I did fight twenty lions"he mumbled
"and that's why you don't have a single scratch"Reva said sarcastically and laughed out loud
"ok fine, I didn't fight twenty lions, but you were close to believe me, don't deny it!"Zick said pointing his finger at Reva's head
She laughed louder "no"she said and Zick glared again "now seriously, why were you so late?"she asked
"well, believe it or not, I set Oliver and Luna up, as in a date"
"huh?"Reva barely said "you did that?"
Zick nodded resigned "yeap"
"Zick, you fighting twenty lions was more believable than you helping Oliver and Luna"Reva said
"hey!I didn't enjoy it but I don't want Luna to be mad at me forever"
"but I thought you liked her"Reva said confused
"I did...I do...I don't know"Zick shrugged "I just want what's best for her, and I guess it seemed like the right thing to do"
"oh"Reva beamed "that's so sweet"she said still beaming and put her hand on Zick's shoulder, he looked at her confused and they lived a very uncomfortable moment, Reva blushed and quickly removed her hand
"sorry"she stuttered and looked away
"it's ok"Zick said not really wanting to talk about what just happened "you have a nice hand"he said nervously, now that was interesting, Reva was making him nervous.
"thanks, I gotta go"Reva said equally nervous and ran back to her seat next to Melinda Ryder, Zick rested his head on his hand thinking and then went back to writing his essay.

QUIDDITCH PRACTICE
"but Oliver, I'm dehydrating!"Dylan whined
"you're not stopping until you finish circling the whole pitch!"Oliver exclaimed
"Oliver seriously! I could die here and you wouldn't notice!"Ronnie yelled
"oh come one guys, look at Reva, she's always so eager to start practice!"Oliver said pointing at Reva, who was going fast and furious
"oh well I would be eager too if I stopped every time your turned your back on me!"Dylan yelled
Reva glared at her and Dylan glared back.
"Oliver, I'm the captain, don't I get special treatment for that?"Lloyd asked tired
"oh no, hell no! you're circling the whole pitch honey!"Dylan yelled
"oh people! be like Karin, I haven't heard her complain!"Oliver said
"that's because your lovely Karin landed up on a tree like 25 minutes ago!"Zick clarified, still flying
"I think I'm gonna throw up"Neville said feeling dizzy
"oh no! he's actually gonna do it!"Dylan exclaimed horrified "I don't wanna see this!"
Lloyd quickly flew with her and covered her eyes
"wait! no! Neville hang on!"Oliver yelled while the others kept flying "stop flying everyone and find some shelter!"
"Neville please hang on just a little bit!"Oliver said and quickly grabbed a bucket, he flew as fast he could to reach Neville, who was already a mix of green and yellow
"ok, use this"Oliver handed Neville the bucket and Neville did all he had to do in it
Zick, Reva, Dylan, Lloyd and Oliver sighed relieved "Neville, please go with Madam Pomfrey and tell her to give you some medicine"Oliver instructed
"oh but I can stay, I feel a lot bet-"Neville started but Oliver cut him off
"please go now!"
"ok" Neville said scared and left practice
"all the others...keep flying!"Oliver yelled
"but...but Oliver can't you give us a minute?"Lloyd asked hopefully
"no!"Oliver yelled as bossy as always
"maybe to get over the trauma!"Reva tried
"no! keep flying!"Oliver instructed again and flew back to the ground to continue with his "relaxing" lecture: Quidditch Throughout the Ages
"Oliver, you hurt my feeling with all this yelling you know?"Lloyd said pretending to be hurt "I can be sensitive too!"
"he's right!"Reva said "this could be catalogued as mental abuse you know?"pretending too
"oh no! my traumatic childhood is coming again!"Zick yelled covering his ears and screaming "ahhh!" like a madman
"see? Zick is having a breakdown!"Dylan said with fake concern
"ahhhhhhhhhhhh!!!"Zick kept yelling and hid his face, hiding his smirk
"shhh shhh nice and easy Zickey!"Dylan said rubbing his back
"you're not gonna make me stop practice"Oliver mumbled
"ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!"
"ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!"
"ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!"
Zick flew closer to Oliver and kept screaming "ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!"
He flew closer enough to Oliver's ear and screamed again "ahhhhhhhhhhhh!"
"alright! class dismissed! you all have free time!"Oliver announced stunned and giving up "ouch, my ear!"he exclaimed rubbing his head
Zick, Lloyd, Reva and Dylan smiled for their victory

ASTRONOMY CLASS
"I don't see it"Luna said
"it's right there!"Jamie Hutter said desperate, trying to show Luna where Mars was
"I only see those two lines and that red dot"Luna complained "are you sure Mars exists? because I once read in a magazine that it might actually be the reflection of your eye on the telescope"
"Luna, I know for sure Mars exists"Jamie said "plus, do you have a red eye?"
"well, sometimes..."Luna started
"Merlin!"Jamie exclaimed waving her arms "listen, that red dot...that is Mars"
"really?"Luna asked "I thought that was just..."
"the telescope bleeding maybe?"Jamie said sarcastically
"no! Jamie "Luna said giggling "even I know telescopes don't bleed!"
Jamie rolled her eyes and covered her head "look, lets just write the report and get this over with"
"ok"Luna said and they sat back on their seats, each with a parchment and started their report
"Our investigation on Mars and it's orbit shows us that..." Luna wrote "hey Jamie, what did the investigation show us?"
"umm... er...that Mars is red"Jamie said insecure
"ok " Luna said "that Mars is red and small"
"red and small?"Jamie asked
"it is small, or at least it seems to be"Luna defended her statement
"write that it's ... I don't know...stubborn?"
"Mars is stubborn?"Luna asked
"yeah, you know, it never goes away"Jamie said not thinking straight
"okidokey"Luna said "it also seems a bit stubborn"
"how about I write that Mars is a nice planet?"Luna asked to a very quiet Jamie, a very asleep Jamie
"Jamie? Jamie?" Luna asked "oh no, please don't fall asleep! we have to finish this report, and I don't know a thing about Mars!"
"Jamie? Jamie?!"Luna said for the last time "I guess I'll write that Mars is a nice planet then"
"Mars is kind and nice, like Ginny, oh and they're redheads too!...not that Mars has a head...oh almost like..."
