Blake had nothing better to do today so he thought he would take a tip to London. His house was just a few miles away from London. Blake was half way out the door when his grandma caught him and stopped him. Blake got lucky she was in her normal mood when she wasn't going crazy about an attack that never happened or she said will happen. She just gave him a hug and Blake smiled. She said she would cover for him where ever he was going. As long as he wouldn't get in trouble. Blake had always told her the truth on important things so he didn't lie she gave him another hug then almost pushed him out of the door. Blake laughed when she called him a little punk with a smile.
Blake ran to the storage shade and pulled out his nimbus 2000. He didn't brag about it but his family did have a lot of money. Most of it was old money that has been handed down and saved up by each past family. Blake hopped on his broom and kicked off, he could fly well enough but wasn't that good at Quidditch or maybe he didn't try hard enough. Blake started flying to London staying low so no muggles would see him. In a few minutes and a few turns because of a Muggle car pulled over on the road he made it to London. Blake put his Nimbus at a friends house who wasn't home, lucky because he didn't want to be carrying a broom around muggles.
Blake walked around then found a mall which seemed to be drawing a lot of attention from the muggles it must have been new or something. Blake walked in the front doors it was pretty big and had two floors. Blake walked around a bit more before taking a seat his ride and walking around made him a little tired it wasn't the ride so much but the looked everywhere to check so muggles. He then saw a couple of Muggles playing with a remote control car.
"Muggles sure know how to spend their days." Blake said then shutting up because he said muggles. He never was careful around muggles he even called them one to there face they thought it was something bad.

Amelia sighed, her eyes bored as she watched the TV screen. Her thumb pressed the channel button over and over and over and OVER. There was nothing on. She sighed again, looking around. She didn't feel like getting on the computer, her dad and her step mom were out working... it was about 4 in the afternoon. She was still in her pajamas and her neck length was messed up from her late awakening that morning. The two Dachsund puppies that slept down at her feet made her heart weaken everytime she looked at them. Her father had bought them about four weeks ago and they definatly had grown on her since then. She twirled her finger in her hair and stood, careful not to step on the puppies. She walked up stairs to her bathroom and took a shower, doing her hair and getting dressed in her new clothes she had bought a few days before. Her new favourite shirt and her her new favourite pants along with her new favourite shoes. Her shirt was off the shoulder and gray and light gray stripped. Her pants were stretchy and deep black. Her shoes were black and had black shoelaces, little skulls sewn into them.
She grabbed her purse, put the puppies in their pen and called her father. After negotiating a bit he finally let her go to the mall, but only if a friend went with her. She sighed, rolling her eyes and she punched in her best friend Caitlin's number. Caitlin's voice answered and soon the two were on the bus, heading toward the mall. They entered and giggled shrilly as they went into one of those picture booths that took pictures of the both of you. They made faces and smiled and glared and soon were pointing and laughing at the little strip of pictures that came from the machine. Caitlin nudged her all the sudden, pointing to a boy sitting on a bench all alone. Amelia looked at her puzzled and then rolled her eyes. She did not feel like flirting, but Caitlin grabbed Amelia's arm and pulled her toward the boy anyway. She pushed her at the boy and Amelia almost fell onto the bench.
"Sorry!" she said and glared at Caitlin, who giggled and shrugged. Amelia sighed and smiled at the boy, "So what else do you do all day? Other than wait here on a bench for some girl to fall on you?" Caitlin sighed and walked up next to her.
"OOOOOO," she said, "You're cute... she's cute... TALK!" Amelai rolled her eyes again.

Blake was sitting back watching the remote control car. Then someone ran or walked into the his bench he turned over and recognized who it was. He had seen her at Hogwarts also in classes and maybe in the common room he couldn't remember. Blake just smiled and laughed when she asked what else he did. "Well if this is what I get for sitting on a bench all day I should do it more often." He said with a smile then the other girl said something that made him blushed a little. Blake now knew she didn't know or remember him from Hogwarts and decided to have a little fun. "Do you believe in magic?" He said with a grin, he didn't know the other girl so he didn't get into much detail.
Blake leaning close to Amelia and whispered in her ear. "What if I told you I could do magic?" He whispered laughing a little. " And also there’s a school full of magic people like me." Blake said pulling away now from her. "And for a low, low fee you can now be one of those lucky few." He said still quite but laughing. He turned his eyes to the remote control car which was now gone. I] "Darn I wanted to see what else it could do."[/I] He thought looking back at Amelia.

Amelia raised an eyebrow at the boy when he started talking about him being able to do magic. Caitlin looked abit puzzled as well. Amelia then shook her head as she recognized the boy from Hogwarts. Clever, she thought. She turned to Caitlin, who was indeed a Muggle, but being Amelia's best friend knew all about Hogwarts, and whispered in her ear: "He goes to Hogwarts," and Caitlin nodded and then smiled. She nudged Amelai again and Amelia raised an eyebrow at Caitlin, who whispered back, "Perfect," Amelia pushed her a bit and laughed. She turned back to the boy, who she knew was a Gryffindor also. And most likely in her year. She smiled.
"So you like being in Muggle malls? I know it sucks to be outside of school," she smiled again, "But I don't think I would care to pay you for your magic, seeing as I can do magic also,"

Blake laughed he guessed the other girl knew about Hogwarts because she talked about magic in front of her. "Darn I could've use the Muggle money too. Well I'm here cause I have nothing better to do at home." Blake said laughing wish it was school. "I even had to fly here, I'm lucky I live only a few miles away from here. " Blake said looked around muggles everywhere and no remote control cars something about them seemed amazing to him. He looked back at Amelia. "I'm also lucky no Muggle saw me or the ministry would have me on there wall." He said laughing Then looked at the other girl. "So what’s your name there?" He said smiling.
Blake looked around then felt in his pocket and found some Muggle money. ” Darn that grandma of mine she always knows what I'm going to do." He said laughing to himself. Then he looked back at Caitlin. "Why don't you sit down too then I can call this my lucky bench." He said laughing.

Amelia was a bit surprised that he flew. That was very risky. She smiled again, she grew up in the Muggle World, so all she had was Muggle money... it was wizarding money that was hard for her to come by. Caitlin stood there a bit uncomfortable, because she didn't understand all the way. Amelia had told her all about Hogwarts, but it isn't anything like being there, taking the classes. Amelia nodded at his comment about not having anything better to do.
"Same here," she said, "Nothing to do all day long," she sighed. Caitlin was astonished that he had flown there. "You flew!?" she asked, surprised. Amelia laughed but understood. "Yeah, that was pretty risky," she said, nodding. She laughed, Caitlin joining in when he asked them to sit down and it would be his lucky bench. She shrugged and sat down, dragging Caitlin with her.

Blake just laughed. "It's risky, Well maybe it is but most of the trip was over farm fields." He looked over at Caitlin A little surprised that she was shocked. But he wasn't used to talking to any muggles about magically stuff. "I'll even give you a ride sometime but it won't be as fast with two people." He said smiling then looking back at Amelia. "If you want you can just ride mine alone." He said sure she could fly maybe better then him he didn't know. "There was only one Muggle car the whole time I came this way." He said normally there was a few more. Blake looked around and then finally telling himself to forget about the darn car. " So what are you two up to coming here?" He said he couldn't think of anything to talk about right now the car was in his head it seemed.

Caitlin relaxed a bit when he assured her the trip wasn't anywhere where Muggles would see. Amelia smiled a bit. Then Caitlin brightened at the offer of a ride. She nudged Amelia, who sighed and smiled again.
"Um... well we would love to. I have my own broom acually," she said, thinking about the Comet 260 she owned, "It's only a Comet 260, but it works! I keep it in really good condition... I really want to try and join the Quidditch team once school starts," she had a dream of being on the Quidditch Team and there was rumour that the chaser position was open. Caitlin was a bit confused by the discussion, but didn't show it. That was Caitlin.

"well I was pretty sure you had your own broom." He said smiling. Then she started to talk about Quidditch and he laughed thinking about what happened to him when he tried out. "Chaser, well I tried out for Beater once. I hit my own team a few times. So you could see I didn't get In, Not very good at it." He said laughing then he looked over at Caitlin. " Around the end of today I'll give you a ride, when I'm about to go home." Blake then looked back to Amelia. "I had a Comet 260 once then I when my birthday came around my dad got me a Nimbus 2000." He said smiling it was a very happy day when he got it in the mail at Hogwarts. "If you get the spot as chaser tell me, I'll let you borrow it." He said Knowing full well she would need a very good broom to beat the Slytherin team.
The Slytherin team had more money then skill on there side. There was a lot of skill but having some of the fastest brooms ever made didn't hurt ether. His broom wasn't the best but it would help her if she got the chaser spot.

Caitlin smiled and nodded vigorously at him when he told her he could give her ride that very day. Her smile was large and she looked much happier as she sat there next to Amelia. When Blake told her that Amelia could borrow his Nimbus 200 for Quidditch games, that is if she got on the team, Amelia's icey blue eyes lit up and she squealed with joy, "Really!?" she asked and then on a pure impulse, she hugged him. Her arms flew about his neck and she hugged him. Immidiatly she pulled away blushing.
"Uhh... thanks," she said, her cheeks bright red. Caitlin giggled and Amelia flashed her a warning look. Her best friend stopped smirking instantly and she bit her lip looking out at the many shops that dotted the mall's walls. Amelia cleared her throat and looked back at Blake. What was he going to do? She just hugged a almost stranger...

Blake was expecting she would be happy but he didn't think she would hug him. She drew away and he blushed a little and he could see she was blushing a little too. Blake just smiled blushing still. "Umm a... Of course you can use it, You can just think of it as my own little way of beating the Slytherins at Quidditch." He said with a small laugh. "I left it at a friends house he wasn't home so I left it will his mom." He said he knew this person for a long time and he was a Muggle so it must have been odd him dropping off a broom. He sat back trying to think of something else to talk about, he could normal think of something easy but not now for some reason.
"So I see you didn't get hurt at any of the attacks?" He said with a smile. "That good to see." She didn't look like she was hurt but Magically healing was so fast you could never really tell.

Amelia noticed he blushed also and she blushed even redder. This was embarassing. He assured her that she would be able to use his broom as a way for beating the Slytherins. She smiled and nodded, not looking him straight in the eye for risk of blushing again. They were silent a few moments, Amelia just sat there biting her lip, trying hard not to blush or do anything else. Caitlin kept giggling. Blake finally spoke and Amelia was glad the awkward moment was over. He mentioned somthing about the Diagon Alley attack. She looked at him and nodded.
"Yeah... I was on vacation with my family when it was attacked... thank God, eh?" she laughed a bit and Caitlin, who seemed bored started humming.

Blake looked at Amelia, it looked like see didn't want to look at him but then did when he asked her about the attacks. "Yeah I'm glad you didn't get hurt." He said smiling Then looking at Caitlin. "What are you laughing about?" Blake said as a joke but he did want to know. He then looked back at Amelia." I was at Diagon alley then left an hour or so before the attack started. I guess I got lucky." He said laughing but then stopped he didn't want to laugh about something where people got hurt. Blake looked back over to Caitlin who seemed bored he pulled a few dollars out of his pocket. “You know this place better then my why don’t you go get some sodas for all of use.” He said, he didn’t know where anything was here.
OOC: Sorry it's short but power keeps turning off. I May not be able to get on for some time and if I do not long enough to reply. Maybe long enough to talk to you on msn ;D cya till then.

Amelia shrugges slightly, a slight smile on her face when he said he was glad she wasn't hurt. Caitlin stopped giggling when he asked what she was laughing about. Amelia could tell it was a joke, but maybe Caitlin didn't. Amelia smirked and Caitlin fell silent. her said he was lucky and then laughed, but cut himself off. Amelia raised an eyebrow. She could understand stopping yourself when you laugh at something like that, but why start laughing in the first place. Caitlin stayed silent, not wanting to get into something she didn't understand fully. They were silent a moment, awkward. Then he asked Caitlin to get them a few sodas.
Amelia smirked... this should be good. Caitlin got a very annoyed/insulted look on her face. Amelia turned on the bench, the better to watch her best friend. Caitlin slowly crossed her arms and glared at Blake. Amelia smiled, her eyes amused.
"Do I look like your little Muggle slave?" she asked, her voice deadly. Amelia shook her head, chuckling slightly. She stood, took the money Blake was holding out and Caitlin's arm. She pulled Caitlin to her feet and smiled reassuringly at Blake.
"We'll both be right back with a few sodas," she smiled and pulled a reluctant and angry Caitlin with her. When they got to a pop machine, Caitlin stood there, her arms crossed and her face sulking. She mumbled to herself angrily. Amelia rolled her eyes, "Stop fussing," Caitlin protested this, but Amelia sighed and ignored it. She grabbed three cans of Pepsi and walked back to Blake, motioned to Caitlin for her to follow. They approached the fifth year and Amelia handed him a pop can, giving Caitlin the other one. She opened her own soda and began to drink the cold, carbinated liquid. The feeling of the pop sliding down her throat was somehow soothing in the hott summer days.

Blake just sat there alone for a few seconds. "Jeez I didn't mean anything by it." He said now he really felt bad not even the remote control car could make him felt better. He just sat there starring into space, he didn't like people being mad at him. If it was someone he didn't like fine but not someone he barely knew. "I guess I have a lot to learn about the Muggle world." He said looking down at the tiles. Both of them finally cam back and Blake wished they had toke longer. He grabbed one of the sodas and but down on the bench, He wasn't even thirsty right now.
Blake looked over not knowing what to say. "Umm sorry if I said something wrong." He said in a lone tone now he really felt bad because they were back now. "I didn't mean it like that if that’s what it sounded like." He said a little louder but looking down. He hated being called something his family prided themselves on not being. His family had always treated Muggle and magic folk with the same respect.

Amelia smiled at Blake, slightly proud at how he apologized. It was nice to see a wizard who respected Muggles as much as Amelia, herself, did. She was raised by muggles and felt they were human beings also, she was the one who stood out in her world, not them. Caitlin smiled a bit also, abviously feeling a bit better. Amelia shook her head and nudged her best friend, making the brunette laugh slightly. Amelia turned back to Blake and smiled.
"Thanks for that," she didn't know if he understood, but she didn't quite care. Besides... making boys confused was one of her favourite amusements.

Blake looked over feeling a little better but still feeling bad. "Well I'll just take you for a longer ride then to make up for what I said." He said kind of smiling. Blake wondered what time it was his parents should have noticed he was gone by now and they were probably asking his grandma what happened and why she let him go out. Blake laughed a little thinking about how his grandma would at. He finally started to feel normal and started to look around for anything new he didn't see before. "So looking forward to school?" He said smiling. "I sure am this summer has been going by so slow." He said looking over to Amelia.
"And how about you?" He said looking over at Caitlin.

Amelia nodded at his question about school. It had been unusually long this summer. Boring days sitting in front of her computer mixed with the news of all the attacks. She never witnessed them... but the articles in the Daily Prophet made her want to jump onto a train and rush to see those who she knew that had been hurt. Her father, who also read the newspaper, forbid Amelia from going anywhere that summer incase the Death Eaters attacked wherever she was.
"I can't wait to be back in the Wizarding world! I miss it so much..." she smiled again and turned to Caitlin, awaiting her answer. Caitlin sat there a moment, looking confused.As Amelia and Blake stared at her a moment, she finally realized he wanted to know if she was excited about school.
"OH! Uhh, yeah... I guess. I mean it's not that great... just Muggle school," Amelia shook her head and sighed, looking back at Blake.
"How about you?" Amelia asked, covering up Caitlin's sign of distaste for being a non-magical person.

Blake listened to both of them answer his question. "Well Muggle school is a lot safer to be in at the moment." He said thinking about last year. ” I bet they don't have vampires and death eaters attacking them in class." He thought to himself. Then Amelia asked about him. "Me well this summer has been so boring. I haven't been able to do anything since the attacks." He said laughing thinking about this morning. "I had to sneak out of my house just to get to London but my grandma caught me. She let me leave though." He said thinking about his grandma.
"She's a nice old lady when she's not yelling about evil or werewolf’s." He said laughing thinking of how many times that has happened. "She used to be an Auror so you can't blame her for being a little crazy in her old age." He said sounding a little sad.
