Lucinda smiled and pulled her baby blue robes tight as she slowly passed the lads table. She smiled a sweet smile at them and continued on walking.

" Looking good Lucey " said Conor as she passed. He stood up and walked over to the bar where she was waiting.

Lucinda laughed and flicked her hair back behind her shoulders. Eileen walked over to pay for her drink. Lucinda sat down at the lads table and started chatting to Gavin and the other boys.

" Hey Eileen."

Eileen smiled faintly at Conor and looked back at her purse.

" I haven't seen you around in ages " said Conor.

" I've been busy " said Eileen and she threw some change on the counter.

" Doing what?" asked Conor.

" Things that dont concern you Weasley " said Eileen.

" There's going to be a ball on in Hogwarts this year " said Conor.

" Really " said Eileen. " I didn't know that."

" Yeah... our pal Lupin here would sure love a pretty partner to go with."

" I'm sure he would. Give him my best wishes when he finds one."

" Ah come on Eileen. Dont be so harsh. See those lads over there. Any of them would be happy to take you out. Give them a chance."

" I'm not a car Conor. You dont just rent me out to any person for a particular night."

Conor laughed. " Well you cant expect to stay single for ever."

" I dont intend to."

" Oliver Black has a new girlfriend."

" Does he?" said Eileen looking up.

" Hey still thinking about that creep I see."

" Not really. I was just surprised. He's such a dark person. I would have thought people noticed how cruel he was."

" Yeah...sure... his family are loaded Eileen."

Eileen smiled. " Money and fame ... the spice of life eh?"

Conor smiled. " I'll tell Lupin and the guys ... that you are still availiable then?"

Eileen smiled back. " Yes...availiable , but not for sale."

" Pity " said Conor smiling. " I would have taken you myself."

" I doubt it. Lucinda seems to have an eye for you. I have a feeling I would lose her friendship very fast if I were to steal her golden boy."

Felimina walked over to the table and smiled at Gavin.

" Evening Felimina."

" Hi Gavin. Lucinda it's late."

" Oh come on Felimina. We only got here."

" Hey Felimina. I'm saving a place for you in my heart this year. If you're willing to accept it."

Felimina grinned and blushed. But she played hard. " Depends on other offers Potter. I'm shopping around."

She laughed as she left with Lucinda and Eileen. Potter was transfixed by her and she knew it.

" Lads " said Gavin as she watched her leave. That's some girl. I tell you."
