Frank smiled at her. It meant a lot to him as well. He wasn't going to leave her side anytime soon. It seemed like she felt a little more for him because she had kissed him back and everything, but then again maybe Frank was reading to much into it. He couldn't read to much into it because he didn't want to scare her.
He was slightly surprised as Alice hugged him, but he put an arm around her to hug her in return. Frank was slightly pink once again as he looked down at the table before feeling her leg beside his once again. He relaxed his leg to press up against hers like at the library yesterday.
"So how has your day been?"

"mm.. good so far... I got hurt the other day in DADA class but that was before I saw you and the nurse healed me up quite nicely." She purposefully omitted the healing that Sam had done as well. "But today has been happily uneventful just the same classes... but I didn't see you in them today." She looked questioningly at Frank with a noted expression.

Maxi nearly didn't go to dinner, she was still catching up on homework from her time in the hospital wing. But she had put her name in the Goblet of Fire and was now patiently waiting to hear if she had been accepted. Maxi walked into the Great Hall, but saw that there was no other Huffelpuff students, so she stood by the door, not wanting to be the first to sit down.

Seth walked into the great hall and immediatly saw Maxi standing by the door. "Hey Max!" Seth said, walking up and giving her a hug. "Glad to see you're out of the hospital wing," he pulled back, smiling. "I was worried."

Sam was intrigued by Severus and commented before he could, " If..." she tilted her head towards the center where Dumbledore was, " Everything works out I would love some potions help." she said indicating that she had put her name in the goblet and was hoping she'd be chosen.
She saw Seth by the door and waved his way. It was kind of her thing with him now, since he had waved her over twice when she didn't know anyone, she'd always wave him over in case he needed a place to sit.

Maxi hugged Seth back, not feeling as awkward as she thought she would. "Nothing to worry about here!" she smiled, pushing the DADA memory back into the darkest part of her brain. "So, tonight's the night," she said, referring to the Triwazard Tournament pickings. "Who do you think it's going to be?"

"Well, I'm not sure who signed up for Ravenclaw," Seth said. "And I know Bek and Speller signed up for Gryffindor, but so did Alice Prewett, so in my opinion, i think it's either Bek or Alice." Seth then smiled brightly. "I i havent a clue for Hufflepuff, do you?" He jumped back as Maxi playfully hit him. "Hey! You're stronger then you think!" he laughed, rubbing his arm. "and then Slytherin...." Gage looked at the table andf then back to Maxi. "Definatly Sam Montgomery." he said, nodding with his choises.

Maxi's laughing suddenly stopped. "Why Sam?" she asked, cocking her head to the side and putting her hands on her hips. She smiled, but not Maxi's normal, happy smile, but the smile her dad usually gave her that said You better have a good answer Kid

Sam wondered what they were talking about, especially when Seth's eyes settled on hers and he went back to talking to Maxi. She tilted her head in question, but shrugged it off when someone else started talking to her.

Seth had the feeling he was in trouble. "Uh..." he stuttered. "Well, have you met Sam?" He asked. "This tournament is kind of a dangerous thing right?" he asked, remembering arguing with Maxi over her entering the contest. "And Sam, well... Sam's got that sort of "laugh in the face of danger" attitude, doesn't she?" he laughed. "Just seems like the perfect candidate to me..."

Maxi saw Sam wave to Seth and then listened to him speak. "Huh," she said thoughtfully. She considered asking him what else he though was "perfect" about Samantha Montgomery, but she didn't want to get any more angry with Seth than she already was. "Enjoy dinner Seth," she said, her voice sharp. "And I think Sam is waiting for you to sit with her." and she turned on her heals, heading to the Hufflepuff table in a huff.
(Hufflepuff with a huff, makes me laugh)

Sam didn't hear the conversation and it was a good thing otherwise she wouldn'tve been able to blame Maxi at all. She looked up again to find Seth alone now and wondering if he would join her. She liked Seth, he was welcoming and kind...which was strange for a Slytherin boy, most of them wanted to be...well not nice.

Seth stood dumbstruck for a good few minutes, scratching the back of his head. What happened? He shook his head and walked over to the Slytherin table and joining Sam like Maxi suggested.
"I think..." he said slowly, taking a seat next to the fifth year. "That I'm an idiot. But I'm not sure yet."

Sam smiled at him when he joined her and raised her eyebrows at his first comment, she looked back for Maxi finding her near alone at the Hufflepuff table then looked back at Seth. "Maxi...doesn't look too happy." she glanced between them again, she was silent but agreed...Seth had probably been an idiot.

Seth looked back to Maxi, and his stomach sunk. Somehow he had hurt Maxi's feelings, making her angry with him and making him frusterated and confused. Seth shook his head, woman were confusing.
"So how are you Sam?" Seth asked, leaving his questions unanswered. Subconsciously, Seth kept glancing over to Maxi, feeling bad that she was sitting alone. "I heard you entered the Goblet of Fire..."

Sam nodded, " I did." She said confidently, she wanted to be picked deep down inside she was hoping but for all outward appearances she looked as if she knew she would not only be picked, but that she would win as well.
"I'm looking forward to the competition." and she had been training for it for so long.

"But today has been happily uneventful just the same classes... but I didn't see you in them today." She looked questioningly at Frank with a noted expression. Frank frowned. "I'm sorry. I should have paid more attention to what was going on. I honestly think I fell asleep in that class or something. I should have helped you." He couldn't believe that he missed a window shattering. Better yet, he should have been sitting with Alice. Damn his being scared! "Oh today? I sort of skipped today. I couldn't sleep at all last night. I tried, but I couldn't fall asleep. I finally dozed off around seven or so this morning and I didn't wake up till around two. If it wasn't for that I would have been in class. I don't know why, but here lately I haven't been able to sleep that well." Frank knew why he couldn't sleep that well at night, it was because of his mind would always drift over to Alice and he would try and figure out how to tell her his feelings and ask her out. "I tried to find you actually to tell you, but you were no where to be seen."

"I got up early this morning and went to see Andromeda in the greenhouses and then classes of course kept me busy and this afternoon I took a nap. I wasn't feeling very well." She had been feeling fine other than just tired recovering from being healed for her injury the other day. And she had been dissapointed when he wasn't in classes since she'd been looking forward to seeing him again all the night before. So much that she hadn't really slept well with all the tossing and turning she was doing and was the reason she'd been up early having given up trying to sleep. But the nap that afternoon had helped her feel good as new, and she'd enjoyed her dream almost not wanting to wake up.
Alice's back was facing the Slytherin table and she didn't pay any attention to the students who were filing in slowly for dinner. Besides all her attention was on Frank.. and she was comfortable as if in a happy little cacoon as she realized his arm was still around her and he hadn't moved away. She innocently snuggled closer but enough that she hoped no one would really notice, not that she really cared. One of the advantages of being in her seventh year was that she was already 'of age' and the professors didn't bother to split couples up like they did the younger students.
She realized what she'd been thinking.. couples... was she and Frank a couple? he'd never said anything about it and neither had she but she wasn't sure she was ready to admit it in words yet. It wasn't unusual for them to be close as friends and people didn't normally think oddly of them though the Gryffindors that had been in the commons last night would likely have noticed his kiss on her cheek and she blushed wondering if anyone would know there was more than just friendship blooming under the surface of their friendship. She vaguely remembered seeing her cousin Sirius and his little group of friends in the room and wondered if they'd started spreading the news already. It would be like them to tease her about it she knew and was hoping they hadn't noticed last night.
Alice was lost in Frank's presense and her own thoughts and had almost forgottent he hum of converstations around them, and the impending tournament selection that had been the topic of conversation for days now.

Rystain walked into the Great Hall and looked around slowly, he was evaluating the scene before him and realized that the only ones that seemed to be gathering tonight were the Slytherins and the Gryffindors. He wondered absently where the fluffypuffs and the bookworms were today but shruged inwardly before striding over to the Slytherin table. He noticed a younger girl who he'd not really seen before last week in school sitting with young Seth. He knew her name already but he'd never made any effort to talk to the girl. And if rumors were believed she was one of the more popular choices for the Slytherin champion already. Rystain hadn't even bothered to put his name in the cup. He felt as though he had nothing to prove and besides there were always others who wanted that kind of glory.
He noticed Frank with his arm around Alice and smirked inwardly, he'd have to try to catch her later to talk to her about it but he didn't give much more thought to the matter and casually found a seat across from Sam and Seth. "Hey guys" Rystain said in a slow deep, almost lazy voice. He was looking at the girl but was not blatant about it as he half adressed Seth in the greeting.

Frank noticed that he hadn't removed his arm from Alice and didn't bother to move it. It was just fine where it was, and she didn't seem to have any dislikes about it. He also noticed that she had snuggled a little more closely and Frank didn't mind that either. Let people think whatever they wanted to think. He tightened his arm around her slightly. For a while now, Frank had wanted to do something like this, but he was too scared to do anything, until the events of yesterday. Now, he was quite content in this position, and of course he was going to go to class despite his lack of sleep.
He smiled at Alice. The thought of kissing her cheek crossed his mind but he decided against it. He wasn't sure he wanted to make a huge display of affection for her just yet, seeing as he hadn't even asked her out yet. Right then, Frank decided that he was going to ask Alice out after the ceremony because he didn't want anything awkward to happen just yet. Plus, Frank thought it would be better if he could get her off on her own.
"I promise to be in class tomorrow. Although, if I start to fall asleep, you must wake me up!"
