Aldrea and Tobias's first year passed without incident. Unless you count Harry Potter's trouble with the Sorceress Stone, which they didn't. The year wasn't wonderful for them. In fact, they were in quite the same position at the end of the year as they were in the beginning. Tobias walked into the train again, almost glad to leave that castle. But he knew it would be worse with Aunt Jane. He wished he could curse her all the way to hell. Then they would all be happy. Because Aunt Jane definitely belonged there. Aldrea could only think about what she would say the Jamey. What would HE say to HER? Would he kiss her again? Would he try to pretend it had never happened? Both Tobias and Aldrea's thoughts were interrupted when a girl peeked in and asked if she could sit there. Her name was Faerie Hortfer. Faerie smiled at Aldrea. Even though they were in the same dorm for a year, they had hardly exchanged any speech. Next to enter was Jessica Groden. She was another girl in Aldrea's dorm whom she had never talked to. Fearie and Jessica spent almost the whole time jabbering about something Aldrea had none or less interest about. When they got home, first thing Aldrea made Tobias do was call Jamey and tell him to come over. She looked through her closet, wondering if she should change. Maybe into that purple shirt that people said brought out her eyes. Then, Aldrea shook her head. How she be going to boy crazy. She never had needed to change because of Jamey BEFORE. So she wouldn't start now. So when Jamey got to their house. He gave Tobias a high-five before slowly turning to look at me. Tobias smartly suggested he get them drinks because he was really thirsty. So Jamey was left with Aldrea. Aldrea almost thought he was going to kiss her again. But he didn't. He looked down at the floor and said somewhat muffled, "Sorry about what happened.that day. I didn't mean it for.I mean." "Don't worry about it. It's not that big of a deal, anyway. It's not like it was a bad kiss. It was a pretty good kiss, really." Jamey laughed and looked up at Aldrea. Aldrea smiled back at him. "Well, it wasn't. I wouldn't doubt if you said you'd had experience before." Jamey shook his head. "Not really." "Not really? What does THAT mean?" "Never mind. It really isn't something I want to talk about." Aldrea nodded. "Yeah." She sat down on a sofa. "Sit." Jamey sat and Aldrea tapped patiently on the arm of the sofa. Jamey looks down at his feet again. Aldrea gets the urge to take his hand in hers but decides against. They were silent until Aldrea said "It was hell, over there, you know?" Jamey looks over at her. "Where? Over there, wherever you went, you mean?" He seemed concerned which that by itself was bad enough. Aldrea nodded her head. "The girls were all, like those giggly girls." She does an imitation of them, squishing up her face in a loud high giggle and batted her eyebrows at Jamey. Jamey laughed "Sounds like my sister." Aldrea smiled "Maybe your sister made clones and changed how they looked. They're invading Hogwarts!" He laughed again, and seemed to getting back to his old self. And Aldrea was glad.

It was time to go back to school, again. Tobias and Aldrea were both feeling slightly differently than they had at that time a year before. Tobias was angry. What was with this world? Summer was supposed to be fun. It was hell for them! And it would be nice if school was fun, but it would never be. It was almost as much torture as summer. Grrr. Aldrea was tingling with excitement over Jamey's goodbye. It had been much less than last year's but she was left tingling from it all the same. Maybe it was a crush. She hadn't had such a big one before, even if it was. Tobias and Aldrea got onto the train again. Aldrea opened the first door and it turned out to be these 7th years, uh.getting pretty busy. Aldrea shut the door quickly and didn't let Tobias see what was in there. Aldrea finally found where Isobel and Bonnie were sitting. A few other girls that were like little followers surrounded Isobel. Isobel pretty much ignored them. The girls stuck up their noses in distaste when they saw Tobias enter. Tobias had to struggle to stop from laughing. People could be so predictable. He had guessed that they would do that. Was it his hair him not caring how he was hanging out with girls or him in general? Isobel just smiled "You guys know how to be late, huh?" Aldrea laughed. "I suppose. But it's nice to be late. Mostly anyway."

Aldrea sat down next to Isobel and Tobias sat down next to Bonnie. Tobias didn't mind being seated with a bunch of girls. He usually didn't mind much at all. But at the same time he noticed Isobel's stare. She wasn't staring at him with distaste, like her clones. She was mostly watching him. He didn't look her in the eyes, afraid of what he might find there if he did. But he looked up at her anyway. Her muddy brown eyes stared at him, keeping his gaze. They just stared at each other, while Aldrea and Bonnie conversed and the Isobel girlies got up and left. He didn't see anything in her eyes that he understood. He wondered if his own eyes shown with the same light. He felt a warm feeling in his chest and quickly looked away. He no longer felt Isobel's gaze and heard her join into the conversation. He closed his eyes and tried to block them out. But Isobel's voice keeps slipping in through his mind barrier and making feel weird. He frowns and tries to slip towards sleep.

Nothing much happened to them in their second, third and fourth years except for the following: In their second year they discovered their powers.-

(A/N: Yeah, yeah.so too many people are having their people have great powers but, too bad for them! Mine are special. Because.well.just BECAUSE!!! Ok, let's continue, shall we?)

Aldrea was standing by the lake, waiting for Bonnie and Isobel. She was going to help them with their Charms homework and in turn Bonnie was doing her Herbology and Isobel was doing her Potions. Suddenly she heard a voice.

"Gosh. How can I stand this another year? Sometimes a get such an urge to just kiss him. SOMETIMES. But, come on! Control yourself, Isobel.He is your best friend's brother!" Aldrea was confused. Was someone talking to Isobel and she had overheard? But it had sounded like Isobel. So maybe she was talking to herself. But how could she have heard? And it couldn't have been in her mind.right? About thirty seconds later Bonnie and Isobel came into view, carrying their books. It was warm so there were others outside working on homework and such. Aldrea approached them both quickly. "Isobel. Were you thinking about how not suriving the year and sometimes getting an urge to kiss someone?" she said as soon as they could hear each other. She wished she could shove to words back into her mouth. Bonnie giggled. "Isobel." she said in a soft mischievous voice. "Who's the lucky guy? Dean?" Bonnie thought he was slightly cute but not anyone she would like to ask out. At least, not yet. Isobel looked slightly embarrassed. She ignored Bonnie "What are you talking about, Aldrea?" "I mean.I-I-" "She means that it's obvious that you are fretting over a boy. But who is it?" Bonnie interrupted. Isobel rolled her eyes. "You are both mad." "Look. I heard something in my head before. It sounded like you, Isobel. And it said something about liking a guy." Aldrea could tell that Bonnie didn't believe that from her grin. "Really, guys!" Isobel looked torn. "I wasn't thinking that." she said weakly. "Look. Let me see if I can do it again." As soon as the words were out, she knew it was mistake. Of coarse! I'm not going to really be able to do this. But she was intent on doing it anyway. Bonnie sighed. "OK. What am I thinking of, Madam Chant?" Aldrea gave Bonnie a small glare before concentrating on Bonnie. She stayed like that for a little while. Then she felt something like a door open. It was hard to explain, the way it happened. It like being locked in a room and suddenly someone opens a door. You get things from another room that belongs to someone else. "Hehe. Can't wait to see Aldrea make a fool of herself. Not everyone falls for those stupid mind reading tricks. Hmm.I do wonder what guy Isobel is thinking about though." Aldrea suddenly snaps out of it. "Hey! You want to see me make a fool of myself? Sure. Not everyone falls for those mind reading tricks but who said this was a trick?" she says angrily. "And you wonder what guy Isobel's thinking of, do you?" Bonnie blushes slightly. "Oh. So you can read minds now?" Aldrea tilts her head slightly. "Hm.Cool"

In their third year Isobel tells Tobias of her feelings-

Isobel sighed and muttered to herself. Tobias looked up at the interruption of the silence of the library. He saw Isobel smiled slightly to himself. Isobel was always the kind of person who liked attention. There. He could add that to his list of how Bonnie and Isobel were and alike and Aldrea wasn't. Oh damn. He was turning to Jamey now? Isobel suddenly looked up at him and their eyes met. Her eyes shown with something he didn't really see in her eyes. He felt a thumping in his chest. Isobel stood and walked over to him. "Hey, can I talk to you?" He thought about reading her mind for a moment. He was glad Aldrea had told him that she could read minds. He tried it out and found he could too. Cool. But he decided not to. After all, he liked surprises. He nodded and let her lead him into the hall. After looking around a moment she looked him in the eyes. "Tobias? Will you not tell anyone? Yet?" "Tell what?" he asked, curious. Then she leaned over slowly and brushed her lips on his. He felt a loud thumping in his ears. He felt himself kiss her back. She took her hand in his for a few seconds before she let go and moved away from him. She looked embarrassed. She turned away and ran down the hall. He felt his eyes follow her. His mind was still replaying the minute before.
