Alexandria was in line right behind Seth. Her body tingled with excitement -- over throwing Umbridge?! He took out her quill and signed neatly -- Alexandria Lupe - Gryffindor. Stepping back, she made eye contact with Harry again. She grinned once more until she tugged at Seth's sleeve. "Hey, let's stop at the Owl Post. Then stop at a few more stores, then get outta here." She was already dragging him out the door as she talked. This has been fun.

Seth laughed. "Okay, okay, calm down. I really need a new quill, this is my only good one left." He pulled out the quill that he signed the contract with and felt as if that quill was special. That quill signed a contract that literally promised to overthrow Umbridge. He would keep that forever. Walking side by side with Alexandria, he felt his stomach flip again and sighed. What's up with him?
Her eyes were focused on the Owl Post, as other people from the meeting were heading for the shops, too. Except not to the Owl Post. Letting go of Seth's sleeve, since she had to have her arm reaching up, she instead grabbed his hand so he was easier to lead. "I need a new quill too, now that I think about it... Ever since Umbridge came, my quill has faced a war or something... It's falling apart!" she laughed. It was so easy for her to open up to Seth. She slowed down a little so she could walk beside him, and leaned against him.

Seth laughed. "Yeah... Umbridge can do that..." He looked at Alexandria, her pretty face, and knew he had to do it. He couldn't help it. Pulling her into a slight hug, he rested there for a few seconds and pushed her away. He got down onto a knee. "Alexandria Lupe. Will you go out with me?" Seth looked into her blue eyes and his heart swelled. He really loved her, he did. And she was his best friend. She needed to say yes.
Alexandria stared at him with wide eyes. "I... I... Of course." Her eyes were brimming with tears for some reason. But she hugged him while he was on one knee and laid her cheek on the top of Seth's head. "I love you. We've been best friends for almost four years. Now we'll be a couple forever." She wouldn't letgo of him. It would seem too soon if she did. But she didn't want to cause a scene. "Let's go back to Hogwarts," she whispered, smiling softly. "I love you, i love you," she chanted.

Seth smiled widely as she said yes. His heart skipped a beat. And her soothing chant of 'I love you' was just as calming. "Sorry, Alex dear, but I need another quill. Be 5 seconds. Wait here. You won't be cold long." He winked at her and ran into the quill shop, picked out the best looking one, and payed 7 sickles for that. He found a nice one for Alexandria and bought that one ; 9 sickles. After paying, he took the new quills and ran out the door and into Alexandria's arms again. "Now how long with that, dear?" he asked, smiling. "Not even 5 minutes." Seth wrapped his arms around her and handed her her new quill. "Here, I knew you needed one. Heck, you told me a few minutes ago. So I got you one."

Katiery had also signed her name to the paper. It had a hint of the charm that protected it. She smiled, and watched as Cho Chang came to sign it too. However, as she walked down and out of hog's head, a thought crossed her mind; what if Umbridge interogated students and found out? She remembered several others that had been known to avoid things like that. Like last year, with Professor Alaster Moody. He was always on his gaurd, and that made him quite formadable in a fight. He didn't trust someone if they even gave him food or drink-you never knew a person's method of interogation until you took a sip of tea and spilled out all you knew. "why couldn't he have taught this year too?' she muttered.
Later, she saw Neville Longbottom sitting in a table at the back of the Three Brooom Sticks. He looked awefully worried about something, so she walked on over. "Hey Nevile, how are you?" she asked. He stopped for a few minutes. "I can't think straight-that meeting with Harry sorted plenty out but...Umbridge will drive us mad if she finds out. She could use anyone of us." he said. Katiery sat down and gave a small nodd. "Say, you wanna help me find other people who might wanna hear about this thought? LIke Harry, Hermione, ROn...any one that's really involved witht he whole group thing? So far, I know that if they started this they obviously wouldn't do anything to sabatage it." she said. "However, anyone else could be a spy that just joined." she said. "Seth and Alexandria and a few Hufflepuffs should know too-they hate Umbridge more than anything." Neville replied. "Right then, let's go find them." Katiery said.
"Thank you," Alexandria breathed, putting the quill in the pocket she had inside her coat. Blue eyes scanning Hogsmeade for someone -- someone she couldn't find -- she stuck her tongue out of the side of her mouth in focus. "I don't see him," she whispered, obviously disappointed. "Too bad... I'll see him later, though." Like a little kid Alexandria wriggled out of Seth's grasp with a laugh. "I'm short but I'm not five," she joked, sticking her tongue out mockingly. Then she took out her hair tie and let her hair fall. Tapping her chin, she looked around. "You know, it's awfully quiet here today," she said. She quieted her voice as she spoke because so few people were here. Alexandria took Seth's hand again and stared at Hogs Head. So many people were still in there.

Seth followed Alexandria into Hogs Head once again ; he had no idea why she wanted to go into here ; but didn't object. Holding her hand, he looked around. Still, there were many people in there. He could see them clearly over Alex's head ; he was a lot taller, but no worries there. "Alexandria, honey, what are we doing here again?" Seth asked quietly. "I thought you wanted to go back to Hogwarts."
"They cleared out... Already?" The number of Hogwarts students had dwindled a lot since they were last there. But where had they all gone? There were still many, but a large portion had left. Alexandria stared around and then said, "You're right. Let's go back to Hogwarts. That's the smarter decision." She dragged him out of Hogs Head and out of Hogsmead. She didn't know why she went back in there. It was just a feeling. Like it would be the last time she would want to be in there for a while.
