*Josiah was nervous. Despite how calm Rowena always made him feel, and how much he truly cared for her he was afraid tell in those three simple words. He sighed hugging her tightly.* "I love you." *He had no regrets, having said what he had been holding back, now she knew.

*James and Josiah (2023-2024)
{{Josiah Westenberg|time=08:51, March 14, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah= Josiah was seated out of the way of the normal traffic pattern. There was an open book in his lap, and a small stack of loose pieces of parchment gathered in the center. He rotated a single piece of parchment between both hands analyzing it.}}
{{James Thomas|time=16:46, March 14, 2015 (UTC)|text=James was tired as he made his way back to the common room. It was hard, trying to balance all of his subjects, and his parents were disappointed that he didn't seem to have made many friends. Seeing an older boy sitting out of the way he decided to try and strike up a conversation. "What are you doing?" He asked curiously.}}
{{Josiah Westenberg|time=09:53, March 15, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah="I think someone might be playing a trick on me. There always seems to be scrap pieces of parchment like this in my books." Josiah displays to the younger boy a piece of parchment covered with random dot and line patterns. "Have you seen these scribbles anywhere before?"}}
{{James Thomas|time=11:18, March 15, 2015 (UTC)|text=James studied the parchment carefully. "That's weird. It looks like some kind of code- morse maybe? Who would leave them for you?" He looked at the other boy curiously.}}
{{Josiah Westenberg|time=15:27, March 15, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah="It does look like Morse Code, but any sort of words it could spell is Gobbledegook to me." Josiah smiled, pleased that the younger boy indulged him and shared the same thoughts. "The who is the question I keep asking myself. I do not know anyone here. This is my first year at this school."}}
{{James Thomas|time=15:36, March 15, 2015 (UTC)|text="Really? You're not a first year though. What school did you go to before?" He carried on talking, caught up in the puzzle that faced him. "Are they your textbooks? Or books borrowed from the library? And are the parchment papers in all of the books or just some? "}}
{{Josiah Westenberg|time=16:23, March 15, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah="No. I am not a first year, I am a fourth year. I went to a small school in Brazil called Alvarães." Josiah appreciated the interest in his conundrum, he did not stop the flow of concentration and answered all questions to the best of his ability. "When I noticed the parchment for the first time I only discovered a few in my Defense Against the Dark Arts books. Then they began dropping out of the books I borrow from the library."}}
{{James Thomas|time=18:31, March 15, 2015 (UTC)|text="Cool. But that's really weird. Someone's obviously trying to get your attention, but it seems pointless unless you can figure out what they're trying to say." He paused, not liking the other option. "Unless of course your first guess was right and someone's just messing with you. But that would be a pretty stupid thing to do."}}
{{Josiah Westenberg|time=21:44, March 15, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah= "It is more pointless I think for me to collect and inspect all of these scraps of parchment. If there is a message hidden in them, I want to know what it says. Someone would only go to such elaborate lengths trying to get my attention because there is an embarrassing prank or horrifying truth waiting at the end." Josiah nodded and sighed accepting that this mystery was going to stay a mystery a while longer.}}
{{James Thomas|time=21:01, March 16, 2015 (UTC)|text="I guess all you can do is collect them and hope that a pattern forms eventually. It sucks if someone's trying to trick you though."}}
{{Josiah Westenberg|time=12:52, March 17, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah= "Finding these little scraps became something I look forward to, it has been a gift and a curse. If this leads to nothing I agree it will be unpleasant. There could be an interesting story I get to tell about it one day."}}
{{James Thomas|time=13:53, March 17, 2015 (UTC)|text="Well good luck to you, and I'm sorry I couldn't be more useful." He suddenly realised that in his interest he had rudely not even introduced himself. "I'm James, by the way." He held out his hand to the older boy.}}
{{Josiah Westenberg|time=23:15, March 17, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah="My name is Josiah." Josiah shook James hand. "Thank you again, James. I think you have been a great help. Showing you my problem, and talking about it was better than wasting hours studying these when I could be doing homework." }}
{{James Thomas|time=04:06, March 18, 2015 (UTC)|text ="It's nice to meet you Josiah. And I'm glad I managed to help then. Any time you need someone to bounce ideas of I'm happy to oblige". He smiled.}}

*Rheine and Josiah (2024-2025)
{{Hecate Grimm|time=01:28, April 30, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah=*Josiah sat in the same chair out of the way of the normal traffic path. He scanned a few of his books for loose notes, when he did not find any he lost himself in his thoughts.*}}
{{Rheine Kögler|08:03, May 2, 2015 (UTC)|A mentally and physically exhausted Rheine set down her wand on the desk. As she doubted the librarian would like students practicing spells in the library, she had retreated to her common room. As someone who hadn't been aware of the wizarding world for most of her life, she still had to cram more work in her schedule to keep ahead. Picking up her wand again, her hand moved fluidly with the movement. "Carpe Retractum," She stated evenly. A book that lay on a nearby armchair suddenly lurched as if yanked, and Rheine executed the spell with one last tug, the book flying into her empty right hand.}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=00:32, May 3, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah=*Josiah was brought to attention by spell casting. He watched as the Seize and Pull Charm was performed before he complimented his thus far unknown housemate.* "Interesting technique you have. I like the way you literally pulled at the end."}}
{{Rheine Kögler|10:07, May 3, 2015 (UTC)|Nearly jumping out of her seat at the unforeseen observation, supposedly from one of her peers, Rheine glanced at the source. "Thanks. It seemed more realistic that way."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=16:28, May 3, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah="I suppose that is true. It was very convincing." *Josiah smiled.* "There is a trick to this spell. More so useful if you are trying to pull something heavier than you are. Lean back. A simple maneuver such as that should counterbalance the weight of the target."}}
{{Rheine Kögler|00:36, May 4, 2015 (UTC)|"Hm, that's useful to know," Rheine remarked, her eyes glazing over. "Thanks for the tip. Next time I try to topple a bookshelf over an annoying person I'll know how not to dislocate my shoulder." Her tone wasn't exactly serious, but neither was it exactly joking either. Her eyes refocused eventually and settled on the other party. "On the sole fact that I haven't seen you in any of my classes, I'm going to assume you're on a different year. My name's Rheine. 4th," She added, her voice somewhat more exhausted than before.}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=00:41, May 4, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah= "I do hope you were joking." *Josiah rose out of the chair he was seated in, and stepped toward Rheine with a hand extended towards her.* "Rheine. It is nice to meet you. My name is Josiah, and you were correct. I am not in your year. I am in the one above you."}}
{{Rheine Kögler|00:54, May 4, 2015 (UTC)|"Oh, half the time I'm not sure who I'll wake up as, so it's safer to assume that I'll probably be getting scolded by the librarian soon," Rheine said cryptically. At the extension of the hand, she stood up clumsily and shook it. "Nice to meet you as well." She took a halfhearted glance at her watch, hoping to be subtle about it.}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=01:01, May 4, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah=*Josiah picked up her hints whether they were intentional or not. He moved back to the chair he came from began picking up his books and headed toward the boys dorm.* "Sorry to bother you Rheine. You look exhausted, so I will take my leave. Perhaps I will see you again on the grounds somewhere."}}
{{Rheine Kögler|01:12, May 4, 2015 (UTC)|"It's nothing," Rheine dismissed immediately. "And I suppose," She shrugged before rubbing at her eyes. "See you." Another halfhearted glance at her watch earned a irritated groan. Time for her detention with the Potions professor.}}

*Faith and Josiah (2025)
{{Faith Bagman|Faith= She was sitting in the Library in her usual corner, munching on an apple, frowning at a textbook.|time=02:34, June 11, 2015 (UTC)}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=02:37, June 11, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah=*Josiah spent weeks straight in the Library looking for more notes. He checked the books he would need to look in for classes, then he began looking in his favorite genre. He found nothing. He was sure they would eventually show up this is when he found them last year, and so, he kept searching. Opening more books skimming and leafing through them only to find ... nothing.*}} {{Faith Bagman|Faith= She flipped a page in the book she was looking through when she landed the spell for Portkeys. She shuddered a little and violently tried to turn the page, ripping it a little. Great... She pulled her wand out, tapped the book. "Reparo..." That was better.|time=02:39, June 11, 2015 (UTC)}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=02:41, June 11, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah=*Josiah hadn't even noticed Faith sitting in the corner. He faintly heard her spell causing him to look over in her direction and drop not one but three books. He sighed and looked forward dejectedly feeling them pool at his feet. He dropped to his knees to picked them up.*}} {{Faith Bagman|Faith= She jumped a little when she heard the books and looked over in Josiah's direction. She recognized him from class, but wasn't sure who he was, so she just nodded in his direction.|time=02:42, June 11, 2015 (UTC)}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=02:46, June 11, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah=*Josiah grimaced a little a the pages that had been folded in the fall. He smoothed them out with his hand murmuring one of very few wandless spells his father ever taught him. He looked over at Faith and smiled before he put the books back on the shelf. He looked back at the shelf carefully picking up another book and searching it too.*}} {{Faith Bagman|Faith= She firmly closed her book, not wanting to think about Portkeys. "Can I help you with something?" she asked quietly.|time=02:47, June 11, 2015 (UTC)}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=02:50, June 11, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah=*Josiah shook his head. He was not entirely sure he heard her, he was also bewildered as to why she would ask.* "No?" *He looked at Faith then back at the book in his hands, taking more time to turn this, page, even more for the next, and the next.* "Thank you. But, why do you ask?"}} {{Faith Bagman|Faith= "You dropped a lot of things... it looks like stuff had spilled out of your books...." she shrugged. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to bother you," she said, turning back to her book.|time=02:52, June 11, 2015 (UTC)}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=02:55, June 11, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah=*Josiah stared at Faith, not meaning to. He felt like he somehow insulted her, and he needed to apologize.* "I am sorry, Faith?" *He waited growing more certain she was not going to accept.* "I did not meant to offend you. I do not think anyone can help me." *He looked back through the book flipping to the end, and finding nothing. He put it back and picked up another.*}} {{Faith Bagman|Faith= "I know what that feels like," she said, quite sure they weren't talking about the same thing.|time=02:56, June 11, 2015 (UTC)~}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=02:59, June 11, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah=*Josiah looked up and smiled sympathetically keeping eye contact for the briefest of moments.* "I am sorry about that too." *He shook his head and looked back down opening the new book in his hands.*}} {{Faith Bagman|Faith= She nodded, her gaze a bit lost as she tried to figure out what to do, distracted between Josiah, the book, its contents, and her family.|time=03:01, June 11, 2015 (UTC)~}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=03:06, June 11, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah=*Josiah glanced back up from this empty book to see Faith, and the look in her eye.* "Faith?" *He mistook it for the face of yet another person brushing him off.* "We are in the library." *He nodded.* "You are not forced to have conversation, I think it is frowned upon in fact."}} {{Faith Bagman|Faith= She looked up at him, confused. "Sorry, what?"|time=03:09, June 11, 2015 (UTC)}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=03:11, June 11, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah="I said we don't- I said nothing." *He shook his head and began picking up another book.* }} {{Faith Bagman|Faith= "You said something," she said, frowning.|time=03:13, June 11, 2015 (UTC)}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=03:18, June 11, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah=*Josiah would have very much liked to ignore her. If she were his sister he could have. Suddenly thinking of his baby sister, he could not.* "I said we do not have to talk." *He forced a smile.* "I do not want to disturb you. I can let you get back to your reading. You do not have to ignore me." *He did not look at her for long before he was back at his search.*}} {{Faith Bagman|Faith= She was utterly perplexed by this encounter, and had no idea how to move forward from it. She opened her book again, to the Portkey page and shuddered again.|time=03:21, June 11, 2015 (UTC)}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=03:28, June 11, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah=*Josiah continued his searching. He was angry that he snapped. He was angry that Faith had pressed. He was angry that he couldn't think clearly anymore. He was angry that he could not find anymore of those notes. He was angry about a lot of things. He scowled picking up another book.*}} {{Faith Bagman|Faith= She couldn't help but stare at it-- the page on Portkeys. Tears started to well in her eyes and she put her head down on the table, crying into her arms.|time=03:30, June 11, 2015 (UTC)}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=03:34, June 11, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah=*Josiah froze. He knew the sound. As loud or as quite as it may be. He knew it like a song he had sung his entire life. He approached Faith carefully. She did not know him and he did not know her. All he wanted was her to know she was not alone. He cursed himself hearing his father's voice in his head tell him not to. Josiah put a light hand on Faith's shoulder.*}} {{Faith Bagman|Faith= She felt the hand on her shoulder and her natural instinct to shove it off kicked in as she did just that. She didn't mean it to be mean... but she couldn't stop her instinct.|time=03:36, June 11, 2015 (UTC)}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=03:39, June 11, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah="I am sorry. ... You were cr-" *Josiah surrendered instantly. He heard his father laughing at him in his head. I told you so.* "I only meant to- I am sorry if- ..." *He knew she would be mad, he hoped that she would not. Now that she was he did not know what to do.*}} {{Faith Bagman|Faith= She wasn't mad. She wasn't even overly bothered by his gesture. She had just done it instinctually, without realizing. She remained where she was, though her shoulders had stopped shaking.|time=03:40, June 11, 2015 (UTC)}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=03:42, June 11, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah=*Josiah could hear his father answering for Faith before he was even able to ask.* "Are you ... alright?"}} {{Faith Bagman|Faith= She lifted her head so her chin was resting on her hands so that she'd be audible when speaking. "I'll be fine," she whispered, a few last tears falling down.|time=03:45, June 11, 2015 (UTC)}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=06:33, June 11, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah=*Josiah nodded. He wanted to leave Faith alone. He really did, Faith's uncanny resemblance to Renata might have been the strongest reason he kept on forcing himself to talk to her.* "...If you're sure. I think I will ..." *He started to walk away from her table headed back towards the bookshelf.*}} {{Faith Bagman|Faith= The situation with the fifth year boy was so reminiscent of Winston that she turned her head around. "Thank you," she said, actually quite grateful.|time=14:44, June 11, 2015 (UTC)}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=15:41, June 11, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah=*Josiah was not sure how to respond. Was she being sarcastic? Perhaps, her thanks was genuine? He turned to face her continuing to ignore the voice of his father in his head.* "You're welcome." *He gave her a small smile before turning his attention back to the shelves, and the books he knew he would find to be empty.*}} {{Faith Bagman|Faith= She gave him a little smile in return before deciding she wasn't going to be able to study anymore. She shut her book and put all her books into her bag. She glanced up at the clock. Well, maybe for once she'd be on time for a meal.|time=15:43, June 11, 2015 (UTC)}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=15:48, June 11, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah=*Josiah tried not stare as Faith packed up her books. He hoped he had not been the one to drive her away. She appeared to be fairly content before he arrived. He wanted to say something, he knew there was nothing he could say, nothing he should say. He looked at Faith one last time to wave or give some other form of the greeting that would mean Goodbye, for now.*}} {{Faith Bagman|Faith= She could feel him staring and turned around and waved back. "See you in class." She turned around and left the library.|time=15:51, June 11, 2015 (UTC)}}

*Rowena and Josiah (2025)
{{Rowena Whitacre|time=16:47, June 23, 2015 (UTC)|text= Rowena sat down on the steps, clearly out of everyone's way. She pulled out a parchment and started to draw in this section of the school}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=18:46, June 23, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah=*Josiah often walked around with a book obstructing his view, he was usually aware enough to look down or around to make sure he was not in the direct path of an obstacle, be it a person or an object. As walked down the staircase he made sure to look at his feet as took his steps. He tripped himself, and his left foot just missed the edge of the stairs causing him to slip. He tried to catch himself as ended up dropping right next to Rowena.*}}{{Rowena Whitacre|time=18:47, June 23, 2015 (UTC)|text= Rowena glanced towards the boy and said,"Are you alright?"}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=18:51, June 23, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah=*Josiah sat upright, positioning himself carefully on the stairs as he inspected his hands, arms, and knees for scrapes and any bruising he could expect in the next few hours.* "I think I will be." *He nodded rolling his sleeves back down and picking up his book.* "I-I didn't kick you or anything when I fell did I?"}}{{Rowena Whitacre|time=18:52, June 23, 2015 (UTC)|text= Rowena shook her head. "What are you reading? Is it interesting?"}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=18:58, June 23, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah="I suppose the term interesting depends what your interests are." *He cocked his head wondering if she was really interested or asking to make conversation.* "This book is about Dragon Anatomy." *He tilted his head again trying to see what was on the parchment she was holding, then he gestured to it.* "It seems like you might be more interested in Architecture."}}{{Rowena Whitacre|time=19:09, June 23, 2015 (UTC)|text= Rowena tilted her head. "Dragon Anatomy huh?" she turned towards her paper. "Not really." she shrugged}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=19:13, June 23, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah=*Josiah nodded in response.* "If you are not really interested in architecture as you said, why are you making such detailed blueprints?"}}{{Rowena Whitacre|time=19:16, June 23, 2015 (UTC)|text= She laughed kindly. "They're not blueprints. It's a map." she smiled. "I'm Rowena."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=19:18, June 23, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah="Rowena. My name is Josiah." *He extended a hand.* "So? You are a budding cartographer. What makes a person decide to draw maps?"}}{{Rowena Whitacre|time=19:21, June 23, 2015 (UTC)|text= She shook his hand. "Nice to meet you Josiah." she laughed. "When someone gets lost on the first day of fourth year."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=19:23, June 23, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah="Someone should have followed some of the other students in their class, or in their house." *He smiled.* "Has the mapmaking been useful for you? Have you gotten lost again since?"}}{{Rowena Whitacre|time=19:25, June 23, 2015 (UTC)|text= She smiled. "Actually I haven't." she frowns for a moment. "Aren't you a fifth year? I sometimes see you in class I think..."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=19:28, June 23, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah="I am." *He nodded.* "I would be surprised if you did notice me in class. I choose not to participate much."}}{{Rowena Whitacre|time=19:30, June 23, 2015 (UTC)|text= "I'm an observant person." she shrugged.}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=19:32, June 23, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah="I think you need to be." *He nodded again.* "You are one of the Whitacre seven. Are you not? You have far too many siblings for you not to be observant."}}{{Rowena Whitacre|time=19:34, June 23, 2015 (UTC)|text= She laughed nodding. "Yes I am. Only Gryffindor in my family that I know of." she smiled}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=19:36, June 23, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah="I would be the same. You probably know that slightly lonely feeling that I am quite familiar with. None of my siblings are even at this school."}}{{Rowena Whitacre|time=19:38, June 23, 2015 (UTC)|text= She frowned. She sometimes did feel that loneliness. "Well, that sucks." she said}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=19:40, June 23, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah="Not all the time." *He shook his head.* "Since I am the only here, and no one really know me or my family. I get to be myself instead of being known as someone else's brother."}}{{Rowena Whitacre|time=19:42, June 23, 2015 (UTC)|text= She nodded. She completely understood. "Well then, congrats!" she smiled}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=19:44, June 23, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah="Thank you?" *He frowned.* "I am not entirely sure how I was supposed to respond to that."}}{{Rowena Whitacre|time=19:53, June 23, 2015 (UTC)~|text= She shrugged. "Well, whats so interesting about Dragon Anatomy?" she said changing the subject}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=19:58, June 23, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah="What's not interesting about Dragon Anatomy?" *He asked back, then smiled.* "Dragons are sort of 'the family business' so to speak."}}{{Rowena Whitacre|time=20:00, June 23, 2015 (UTC)|text= She smiled. "That's so cool!" }}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=20:01, June 23, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah="I used to think so too." *He nodded.*}}{{Rowena Whitacre|time=20:03, June 23, 2015 (UTC)|text= She tilted her head. "'Used to'? What changed that?"}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=20:08, June 23, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah="A lot of things." *He smiled weakly trying to be as vague as possible.* "It's ... not what I thought I would be when I was little. It's ... turned out to be much more dangerous than I initially expected."}}{{Rowena Whitacre|time=20:10, June 23, 2015 (UTC)|text= She nodded. "Well yeah. Dragons breath fire. Of course it will be dangerous!"}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=20:18, June 23, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah="Dragons breath fire?" *He looked at her dully.* "Of course they do. Everyone knows that. That isn't what I meant when I said they were much more dangerous than I initially expected."}}{{Rowena Whitacre|time=20:20, June 23, 2015 (UTC)|text= "Then what did you mean by it then?"}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=20:25, June 23, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah="Haven't you ever heard of Dragon pox?" *He wasn't exactly sure how Rowena managed to get him to keep talking when he didn't really want to. But she did, and he thought she did it rather easily.*}}{{Rowena Whitacre|time=20:26, June 23, 2015 (UTC)|text= Rowena tilted her head. "What's Dragon pox?"}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=20:32, June 23, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah="Dragon pox is a very special disease. It only occurs in wizards and witches, and based on the name I am sure you can tell it is contagious, and contracted from exposure to dragons. It also happens to be potentially fatal. That doesn't mean it doesn't take lives."}}{{Rowena Whitacre|time=20:35, June 23, 2015 (UTC)|text= She nodded, storing that information in the back of her brain. }}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=20:37, June 23, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah="Much more dangerous than initially expected." *He nodded along with her.* "Do you mind if we change the subject?"}}{{Rowena Whitacre|time=20:39, June 23, 2015 (UTC)|text= She shrugged. "Sure. What do you want to talk about?"}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=20:41, June 23, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah="I don't know. I don't talk to other people much?" *He frowned.* "What do you usually talk about?"}}{{Rowena Whitacre|time=20:43, June 23, 2015 (UTC)|text= She shrugged. "Well, were in the same boat then. I don't talk to anyone outside my family usually." she looked at her hands. "What's your favorite things to do then?"}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=20:47, June 23, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah="I guess this awkward conversation should make us both feel special." *He laughed nervously then sighed thinking about what his favorite things to do were.* "I like to read. Obviously. I don't leave the tower much, but when I do I like walking in the f-... I like going for walks around the Black Lake." *He tried to catch himself before admitting he'd been in and out of the forbidden forest regularly.*}}{{Rowena Whitacre|time=20:50, June 23, 2015 (UTC)|text= She cocked an eyebrow. "I usually make my map. I do like walking around outside." she hoped that was helpful. She sat there. Staring at her hands.}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=20:55, June 23, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah="There is something about being out in the fresh air that I find invigorating. I don't mean that as in being outside would make my worst day better, but it sure couldn't make it worse. Could it? Unless there was a sudden natural disaster. Something along the lines of getting hit by lightening." *He shrugged in contemplation.*}}{{Rowena Whitacre|time=20:57, June 23, 2015 (UTC)|text= She looked up and nodded. "Exactly! I find it very relaxing to just walk outdoors." And to poke your nose where it doesn't belong...}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=20:59, June 23, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah="Where do you like to go walking the most? Anywhere your feet take you is your answer, I would guess." *He smiled.*}}{{Rowena Whitacre|time=21:01, June 23, 2015 (UTC)|text= She nodded. "Actually I would have said that." she smiled.

I guess I'm not the only one that has a secret or two.}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=21:03, June 23, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah="What?" *He laughed nervously in response to her suspicious look.* "How can you not have a favorite? This castle is absurdly enormous. There has to be at least one location, if not more that you would pick. I understand if you don't want to tell me. Maybe a lot of people don't know about it, and you want to keep a secret. If that is the case. That was all you had to say."}}{{Rowena Whitacre|time=21:11, June 23, 2015 (UTC)|text= She laughed. "I really don't. I love everywhere here."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=21:13, June 23, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah="Loving everywhere, and not having a favorite are two very different things, Rowena.

{{Hecate Grimm|time=21:34, June 23, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah="But... I didn't change your mind." *He shook his head.* "I would enjoy taking credit if I had. All I did was get you to admit that everything and everywhere was your favorite. Which you already said, in a different way. I suppose that means you want me to pat myself on the back for making you repeat yourself."}}{{Rowena Whitacre|time=21:36, June 23, 2015 (UTC)|text= She facepalmed. "I don't usually do that.

I would love to hear your opinion?"}}{{Rowena Whitacre|time=21:09, June 26, 2015 (UTC)|text= "Well only once. I did like it though.

{{Hecate Grimm|time=23:05, June 26, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah=*Josiah smiled at her and opened the book glancing up occasionally as he read.* "Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson go on a camping trip.

Astrologically, I observe that Saturn is in Leo. Horologically, I deduce that the time is approximately a quarter past three. Meteorologically, I suspect that we will have a beautiful day tomorrow. Theologically, I can see that God is all powerful, and that we are a small and insignificant part of the universe. But what does it tell you, Holmes?” Holmes is silent for a moment. “Watson, you idiot!” he says. “Someone has stolen our tent!”"}}{{Rowena Whitacre|time=23:22, June 26, 2015 (UTC)|text= Rowena laughed.

{{Hecate Grimm|time=23:56, June 26, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah=*Josiah smiled back at Rowena before looking down at the book again.* "When NASA first started sending up astronauts, they quickly discovered that ballpoint pens would not work in zero gravity.

{{Hecate Grimm|time=01:11, July 5, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah=*Josiah's jaw dropped, he half-expected a forced apology.* "In that case, let's be realistic. Shall we? I am not the only person in the world who flubs up every now and then." *He tossed an accusatory brow her way a small grin on his face.*}}
{{MerisaMist|time=01:16, July 5, 2015 (UTC)|Rowena= She cocked an eyebrow at his jaw hanging open. "I know." She said a smirk on her face}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=~~~~~|Josiah=*Josiah nodded again, the grin changing form to match her smirk.* "It didn't seem like you did. I thought you were oblivious. Next time don't leave all the blunders hanging on my shoulders. Could you?" *He joked.*}}

{{MerisaMist|time=01:35, July 5, 2015 (UTC)|Rowena=Rowena blushed. Her heart pounded slightly faster when he pulled her closer to him. "Well,I could be but what praise would go to the others?"}}

{{Hecate Grimm|time=01:42, July 5, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah=*Josiah smirked slightly, Rowena's 'I don't know' was so very reminiscent of the beginning of the conversation.* "There is nothing to tell. For the time being I can't think of a reason to praise anyone save for, you."}}{{MerisaMist|time=01:44, July 5, 2015 (UTC)|Rowena= Rowena blushed. "And why is that?"She asked with her head tilted slightly}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=01:45, July 5, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah=*Josiah shrugged. With not much he could say he put it simply.* "For being here."}}{{MerisaMist|time=01:50, July 5, 2015 (UTC)|Rowena= Rowena looked at him. "What do you mean?"}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=01:55, July 5, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah="Why are you walking around with me, why are you holding my hand?" *He shrugged.* "That's what I mean." *He knew there was a chance that they both had different answers for why they choose to spend time with one another, it was the reason he chose not to give his answer to her so easily. He did take a chance, a small gamble that he and Rowena might be thinking the same.*}}{{MerisaMist|time=01:59, July 5, 2015 (UTC)|Rowena= She blushed. "I like hanging out with you. A lot actually." She blushed some more}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=02:04, July 5, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah="And, that's my reason to praise you." *He chuckled.* "In case you haven't noticed, Rowena.

{{Hecate Grimm|time=00:10, July 11, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah=*Josiah spotted her and smiled trying his best not to seem so grateful for his luck.

{{Hecate Grimm|time=00:17, July 11, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah=*Josiah laughed not meaning to be so honest.* "You could say that, my brothers want to transfer out of school from Protugal.

But, that is another story all together. So. That would be the change for me." *He shrugged flipping the attention back on her.* "What are your siblings fighting about?"}}{{MerisaMist|time=00:21, July 11, 2015 (UTC)|Rowena=Rowena cocked an eyebrow and said, "They're fighting over which team should win." she rolled her eyes.}}

{{Hecate Grimm|time=00:29, July 11, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah=*Josiah shrugged.* "I thought the Harriers had it. I thought Puddlemere might have won it. Now I have no idea.

Maybe the Bats?" *He laughed.* "If you had to pick one team still in the running, who would it be?"}}{{MerisaMist|time=00:30, July 11, 2015 (UTC)|Rowena=Rowena thought for a moment and said, "I think Tengu."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=03:07, July 11, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah="You're a long shot out there with me?" *He laughed.* "I should have known." *He pointed at her and smiled before offering his hand.* "Only you Rowena. Will you walk with me?"}}{{MerisaMist|time=03:41, July 11, 2015 (UTC)|Rowena=Rowena crossed her arms over her chest, with a smile on her face and said, "Do you even have to ask?" she took his hand.}}

How do think they will do against Ballycastle or America? I know they are your team, for now. I mean how close do you think the final score will be?"}}{{MerisaMist|time=06:15, July 11, 2015 (UTC)|Rowena= Rowena smiled. "Um, I think the score would be pretty close.

{{Hecate Grimm|time=06:20, July 11, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah="I definitely think the difference will be 150 points. I think the snitch will lie Ranheart's hands."}}{{MerisaMist|time=06:22, July 11, 2015 (UTC)|Rowena=Rowena looked at him in surprise. "Really?"}}

{{Hecate Grimm|time=03:29, July 12, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah="Anywhere you want. We could go back to the Merchandise shop and pick up any Harriers or Puddlemere you might not have gotten yet.

What a shame would it be if they lost because you weren't in the stands while they played?"}}{{MerisaMist|time=03:36, July 12, 2015 (UTC)|Rowena=Rowena shrugged. "I honestly doubt I am a 'lucky charm'." she said nonchalantly. "I would rather just hang out right now."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=05:22, July 12, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah="I'm fine with that." *He smiled.* "If Japan does lose, I'm going to say it was because I was holding their 'luck' in my hand."}}{{MerisaMist|time=05:27, July 12, 2015 (UTC)|Rowena= Rowena rolled her eyes with a smile on her face.

{{Hecate Grimm|time=01:27, July 15, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah=*Josiah nodded never taking his eyes off of Rowena.* "I'm only buying it for my mother. To help her make my father mad about Puddlemere.

{{Hecate Grimm|time=01:32, July 15, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah="No, don't do that." *He put both figurines down and took Rowena's hands stopping her.* "I like that you want to help me cause a little rift in my family, but you don't have to spend your money to do it. We could make that happen for free." *He laughed.*}}{{MerisaMist|time=01:35, July 15, 2015 (UTC)|Rowena=Rowena looked at Josiah and said, "But I want to spend my money on y-" she stopped herself and said, "on mischief."}}

{{Hecate Grimm|time=00:32, July 16, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah="No. I don't want them." *He shook his head looking at her very seriously.

It's sweet, and it's really cute that you want to. But, I don't want your money.

{{Hecate Grimm|time=16:41, July 16, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah="You are m- a little liar." *He tried to say a lot, and say it fast to keep Rowena from noticing his slip.* "I wasn't actually worried, I said I was starting to worry that you might say yes. Even I know it would have been a lie, or that you don't like hangout with me as much as you said you did. At least that is what I would think, and I think I've been particularly nice to you.

However, we don't look at every situation. At every problem and solution in the same way.

I figured everyone would be headed to the Lake or somewhere outdoors by now, so, I though it best to explore the castle for the time being. What is the Master Architect doing with her time?"}}{{MerisaMist|time=18:23, July 27, 2015 (UTC)|Rowena="Trying to figure out the best way to avoid my siblings." she then looked at him. "What have you been doing since school started?"}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=18:29, July 27, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah=*Josiah shrugged. He did not do very much at school aside from go to class.* "What I always do. Keeping to myself, trying to be where no one else is."}}{{MerisaMist|time=18:32, July 27, 2015 (UTC)|Rowena=Rowena smiled. "Looks like we're on the same boat." she rolled up the parchment and asked, "Is there any classes that have sparked your interest?"}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=01:52, July 28, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah="I haven't seen anything new the school is offering. I think I can safely say no. What about you? Are you sticking with CoMC again or have you decided to try something new this year?"}}{{MerisaMist|time=02:18, July 28, 2015 (UTC)|Rowena=Rowena nodded. "Yup. Sticking to learning about creatures." she smiled}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=02:22, July 28, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah="You're so predictable." *He joked.*}}
{{MerisaMist|time=03:21, July 28, 2015 (UTC)|Rowena="Old habits die hard." she played along}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=08:59, July 28, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah="I would not have thought 'predictability' was one of your old habits."}}
{{MerisaMist|time=18:07, July 31, 2015 (UTC)|Rowena=Rowena rolled her eyes. "I was playing along."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=01:04, August 1, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah="Were you?" *He feigned surprise.* "Thanks for letting me know. I was being entirely serious." *He tried not crack a smile and failed miserably.* "Rowena, I couldn't predict what you would do next even if I were clairvoyant. When I come across you randomly in places like this, or even outside somewhere it has to be nothing more than luck. Mine or yours."}}{{MerisaMist|time=01:07, August 1, 2015 (UTC)|Rowena= "Unpredictable. It also helps to have some coincidence and luck too." she smiled}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=01:13, August 1, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah="I don't think the way we run into one another is coincidence. The way we met, I absolutely believe that was." *He shook his head.* "Everything that came after. Pure luck." *He smiled back.*}}{{MerisaMist|time=01:15, August 1, 2015 (UTC)|Rowena= Rowena nodded. "I agree. You must be really lucky." she joked}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=01:20, August 1, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah=*Josiah tried to keep a straight face.* "Me? Or you?"}}{{MerisaMist|time=01:25, August 1, 2015 (UTC)|Rowena=Rowena struggled with trying to keep a straight face. "I guess it depends on how you think of the situation. Right now, I'm pretty lucky to know at least one person outside the Horde and be able to have a regular conversation with them." she smiled}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=01:32, August 1, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah=*Josiah shook his head laughing.* "The Horde? I have to give you credit for that, but anthropologically that is a misuse of the term." *He shrugged.* "I think you could do well with people. People who aren't me, and aren't 'horde members'. I suppose it can be hard to tell who is worth getting to know and who isn't."}}
{{MerisaMist|time=03:07, August 1, 2015 (UTC)|Rowena=Rowena smiled. "Then it's a good thing your worth getting to know."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=00:39, August 2, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah="Thank you for the compliment." *He chuckled.* "I'd say the good thing is that you gave me a chance."}}{{MerisaMist|time=00:43, August 2, 2015 (UTC)|Rowena=Rowena smiled. "Everyone deserves a chance."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=00:56, August 2, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah="That's not entirely true, but I do suppose the courtesy should be extended to everyone."}}{{MerisaMist|time=00:58, August 2, 2015 (UTC)|Rowena=Rowena smiled. "I guess it depends on if they take it or not."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=01:02, August 2, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah="It wouldn't always make that person a good friend, or someone worth knowing." *He shifted uncomfortably.* "Some people ... collect 'acquaintances' ... for ... bad reasons."}}{{MerisaMist|time=01:05, August 2, 2015 (UTC)|Rowena=Rowena grimaced slightly. "Erm... Yeah." she paused. "Topic change?"}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=01:07, August 2, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah="Yes." *He nodded vigorously.* "Please?" *He asked politely.*}}
{{MerisaMist|time=01:09, August 2, 2015 (UTC)|Rowena=Rowena nodded along with him. "Gladly." she looked around for something to say. "What do you think of the 'Highmaster'?" she asked}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=01:13, August 2, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah="Does that mean you care now? You sure didn't on the train. Or have you formed your own opinion of him and you want to compare it to mine?"}}{{MerisaMist|time=01:15, August 2, 2015 (UTC)|Rowena="No. Twas just a topic change."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=01:19, August 2, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah="Twasn't a very good one if you don't have your own opinion."}}{{MerisaMist|time=01:21, August 2, 2015 (UTC)|Rowena=Rowena sighed. "Fine. I think he's a no nonsense kind of guy. For that, I don't like him very much."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=01:24, August 2, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah="Okay." *He nodded.* "That's fair. I do agree. But, that's no reason not to like him. It is for you, I see your point." *He paused.* "Rowena, the man is in a high position of power. Do you think the Minister for Magic is a big goof? I, for one, think not."}}{{MerisaMist|time=01:26, August 2, 2015 (UTC)|Rowena=Rowena smirked. "I never said I liked the Minster."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=01:28, August 2, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah=*Josiah laughed.* "I wouldn't have expected you to. Unless he was me."}}{{MerisaMist|time=01:29, August 2, 2015 (UTC)|Rowena=Rowena nodded. "That's because I know you can laugh and joke around." she said. }}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=01:30, August 2, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah="It's easy with you."}}{{MerisaMist|time=01:32, August 2, 2015 (UTC)|Rowena=Rowena smiled. "'Cause I'm a natural clown." she joked}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=01:37, August 2, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah="Best looking clown I've ever seen." *He nodded.*}}{{MerisaMist|time=01:39, August 2, 2015 (UTC)|Rowena=She blushed at the compliment. "Eh. I would be fired then. I'd probably be a stand-up comedian." she joked}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=01:42, August 2, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah=*Josiah smiled watching her blush.* "I think stand-up comedy would be much more difficult. You never know what your audience will think is funny. Not to mention you don't necessarily get to wear a costume that would mask your true identity."}}{{MerisaMist|time=01:43, August 2, 2015 (UTC)|Rowena="Touche. However, what if I want them to see me?"}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=01:48, August 2, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah="As a clown I would think being seen, and known for who you really are is the opposite of what you want. As a comedienne, yes, of course you want to be seen. How will people know that your are the favorite to make them laugh?"}}{{MerisaMist|time=01:50, August 2, 2015 (UTC)|Rowena=Rowena shook her head. "No. What I mean is, what if I want them to see me for me and not some goofy makeup and rainbow wig." she shuddered slightly. "And I'm afraid of clowns."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=01:55, August 2, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah="A clown is always a character, but you don't have to wear that common clown make up." *He spoke slowly mocking what he thought was her lack of knowledge on this topic.* "There is this new thing happening in the modern world where entertaining acts don't do things the 'normal way'." *He shrugged.* "Clowns can be beautiful. They can even look like a normal person you might see walking down the street. Someone you might not even notice until they decide to do something to astound you, and grab your attention."}}{{MerisaMist|time=01:56, August 2, 2015 (UTC)|Rowena= Rowena rolled her eyes. "I know that. Doesn't change the fact that I'm afraid of them."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=02:00, August 2, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah=*Josiah laughed.* "It does." *He nodded.* "The make up, and the wig scare you. Not the person wearing it."}}{{MerisaMist|time=02:02, August 2, 2015 (UTC)|Rowena="I'm not scared of the get-up per say. It's the way that they smile and always stare at you." she shuddered.}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=02:08, August 2, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah="You have a problem with people who smile and stare?" *He chuckled smiling and staring at her.* "Now it sounds like your talking about mimes, and I can't really argue with you about that."}}
{{MerisaMist|time=02:31, August 2, 2015 (UTC)|Rowena= Rowena laughed. "Not really. Mimes can be freaky."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=02:41, August 2, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah="Mimes are ridiculous." *He pretended to be inside of a box.* "Look at me I'm trapped in an invisible box. Let me just lift this invisible piano so I can find the invisible door." *He stopped and rolled his eyes.* "Pointlessness."}}
{{MerisaMist|time=02:47, August 2, 2015 (UTC)|Rowena=Rowena laughed at his antics. "Totally."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=09:04, August 3, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah=*Josiah nodded.* "Not all, but definitely most."}}
{{MerisaMist|time=14:54, August 3, 2015 (UTC)|Rowena= Rowena grinned. "Now that that's settled," she thought for a moment, "Tell me more about your family? I will tell you about mine in return."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=09:03, August 4, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah="That seems fair. What do you want to know?" *He shrugged uneasily.*}}{{MerisaMist|time=15:40, August 4, 2015 (UTC)|Rowena= She smiled kindly. "Well, um. You haven't told me much about your parents..."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=10:30, August 5, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah="My mother is what you could call Pure-Blood wizarding nobility, and my father is not. My father is a Half-blood, and a very late bloomer. He thought he was a squib until he was about thirty." *He grinned.* "What about your parents?"}}
{{MerisaMist|time=16:16, August 5, 2015 (UTC)|Rowena="That's cool." She looked at her hands for a few before looking back up. "Well, my mum left my family when I was two years old. My father was heartbroken. When I was nine, I would see my mum occasionally." She said. She wasn't sure if she should tell him more about her mum. Not yet. "My dad also started dating a lot of women around that time."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=01:40, August 6, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah="It's cool from the outside." *He shrugged as he mumbled.* "At least you saw your mother, occasionally. It would have been terrible to never have seen her at all." *He felt a strange need to counter with his own terrible news.* "My father is a bit of a sociopath, his life was entirely muggle for the majority of his life. Now his is a wizard. He is also an Analytical Neuroscientist, and a Psychiatrist." *He hesitated, not wanting to say too much.* "He is very capable of using everything that your brain does against you, and he does it without magic. He has been doing it to my siblings, and I all of our lives. We didn't get the usual 'time out'. When we were grounded, it ... was... he did it a lot differently than you think." *He sighed.* "That being part of the reason I needed to get you away from my family tent after it got that hideous Thundelarra redecoration."}}
{{MerisaMist|time=02:58, August 6, 2015 (UTC)|Rowena=Rowena frowned. "I-I-" she sighed. "Josiah Westenberg. Why didn't you tell me this before?" she said seriously.}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=17:19, August 9, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah=*He shrugged.* "It wouldn't have made a difference if I had told you sooner or later. It only seemed fair to tell about it you now. My father, and my upbringing are quite possibly the only reasons Hogwarts considers me a Gryffindor, and not something else entirely."}}
{{MerisaMist|time=18:35, August 9, 2015 (UTC)|Rowena=Rowena frowned more at herself. She came to a conclusion. "Your being honest? Your family is like that? Your father manipulates you?" her brain was still coming to grips with it. Subconsciously she said, "I think you would have been in Gryffindor regardless. After-all, there's more than one way to be a Gryffindor."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=15:29, August 10, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah="Yes. I am being honest. No. My family is not like that. Not so much as my father is. Yes, he is extremely manipulative. He doesn't save it all for me, if that is what you think. Everyone is welcome to share in his 'talent', when he sees and opportunity to use someone. 'For educational research', as he says." *He nodded his head very slowly.* "Out of curiosity I have to ask, what are these other ways to be a Gryffindor? Other than by being undaunted."}}
{{MerisaMist|time=15:43, August 10, 2015 (UTC)|Rowena=Rowena bit her lip as she nodded slowly. "A Gryffindor can be someone who stands and deals with what they are afraid of. That's true courage. They also are not afraid to say no when the time arises. Gryffindors can be/are noble at heart. At least that is what I think." }}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=17:25, August 10, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah="Without being raised the way that I was I couldn't or I wouldn't become any of that. I don't know that I would be the same person that I am today."}}
{{MerisaMist|time=17:32, August 10, 2015 (UTC)|Rowena=She shrugged. "Probably."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=00:25, August 20, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah="Tell me more about your father. Considering what you told me about him so far, he had to have a heavy hand in your being so adventurous. Is he? An explorer? Perhaps he is a cartographer?"}}{{MerisaMist|time=03:07, August 20, 2015 (UTC)|Rowena= She sighed, "If only! He's a single dad. He saw that I was naturally curious and he nurtured it." She shrugged. "Nothing big." If you ask about mum though....}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=00:53, August 21, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah="My parents are lucky enough to have the support of one another while raising my brothers, and Bethany. I think your father doing what he could to keep all seven of you together is pretty big. What about your mother?" *He tried to ask politely.* "You said you saw her when you were nine. What did you think of her all those years that she was gone?"}}
{{MerisaMist|time=00:56, August 21, 2015 (UTC)|Rowena= She bit her lip."I didn't understand why she left. I was angry at her." She looked at her hands.}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=01:02, August 21, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah=*Josiah very gently lifted Rowena's chin trying to get her to look at him, and not at her hands.* "Are you still angry with her?"}}{{MerisaMist|time=01:04, August 21, 2015 (UTC)|Rowena= She let him lift her chin. "No. Well, not as much as I was before."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=01:06, August 21, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah="So?" *He smiled at her dropping his hand.* "What you're saying is yes, you are still angry with her. It's okay if you are. I think you have every right to be."}}{{MerisaMist|time=01:09, August 21, 2015 (UTC)|Rowena= She shook her head. "It's complicated." She looked at Josiah}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=01:14, August 21, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah="Life is complicated." *He nodded.* "I asked a yes or no question. But, I understand so I won't ask you for clarification. If you asked me if I hated my father, and whether or not I was angry with him. I would give you the same answer you gave me."}}{{MerisaMist|time=01:16, August 21, 2015 (UTC)|Rowena= Rowena smiled. In the heat of the moment, she hugged him. She whispered, "Thank you for understanding."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=01:20, August 21, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah=*Josiah hugged her back trying to not squeeze her so she knew she could pull away whenever she wanted. He lowered his head to whisper in her ear.* "Don't thank me. Just appreciate the fact that I know how you feel."}}{{MerisaMist|time=01:23, August 21, 2015 (UTC)|Rowena= She smiled. "That gives me full right to thank you." After she said that, she slowly pulled out of the hug.}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=01:26, August 21, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah=*Josiah clearly didn't want to let her go, and he struggled to let his arms fall back to his sides.* "No, not really. If does give you the right to feel closer to me, and I'll let you. Of course."}}
{{MerisaMist|time=01:31, August 21, 2015 (UTC)|Rowena= She wanted to go back into his arms. She smiled. "And why's that?"}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=01:33, August 21, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah=*Josiah smiled chuckling as he reached down to take her hold of one of her hands.* "Because I like you so much more than I like anyone else."}}
{{MerisaMist|time=01:47, August 21, 2015 (UTC)|Rowena=Does he...? "As in friend wise or something else? Your probably the most confusing person ever." she smiled}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=20:25, August 23, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah="Both. Rowena, you are my friend. We could be ... more than... friends. If that was ever something that you wanted for us." *He shrugged.* "I prefer to be called perplexing, by the way. Thank you."}}{{MerisaMist|time=00:46, August 24, 2015 (UTC)|Rowena= She grinned as she looked at Josiah. "What do you want?"}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=01:01, August 24, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah="I sort of asked you first, and I don't exactly know how to tell you, want I want. ..." *He grinned back at Rowena looking in her eyes and tugging lightly on the hand he was holding slowly leaning in to kiss her.*}}{{MerisaMist|time=01:05, August 24, 2015 (UTC)|Rowena=She smiled as she closed the distance.}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=02:18, August 24, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah="What do you want?" *He whispered to her as he pulled away slowly.*}}{{MerisaMist|time=02:20, August 24, 2015 (UTC)|Rowena= She crossed her arms with a smirk. "I'm pretty sure that I already answered your question."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=02:28, August 24, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah="By letting me kiss you? This would be the second time I have done so, Rowena. How is allowing me that privilege any kind of answer I can be certain of?"}}{{MerisaMist|time=02:31, August 24, 2015 (UTC)|Rowena= She rolled her eyes. "If I didn't want you to kiss me, I would shove you off or something." She smiled.}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=02:40, August 24, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah="I'm not accusing you of being someone who goes around kissing every Trevor, Dean, and Harry. There isn't anyone else that I would rather be kissing, or would rather be kissed by." *He smiled at her.* "I want to know you want me to be the only one kissing you."}}{{MerisaMist|time=02:42, August 24, 2015 (UTC)|Rowena="You are the only one I want kissing me, Josiah." She smiled}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=- Hecate Grimm [[User talk:Hecate Grimm|(talk)]] 02:46, August 24, 2015 (UTC)`|Josiah=*Josiah took hold of Rowena's right hand.* "If that's true. You wouldn't mind if I kissed you again?" *He leaned into her slowly giving her an opportunity to refuse.*}}{{MerisaMist|time=02:47, August 24, 2015 (UTC)|Rowena= She'd meet him halfway.}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=02:59, August 24, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah=*Josiah kissed her tenderly for a few short moments, caressing her face as he pulled away. He looked her in the eyes, and smiled then began silently tugging on her right hand leading her out of the tower toward the Great Hall.* "Will you meet me in the Clock Tower Courtyard after dinner?"}}
{{MerisaMist|time=03:01, August 24, 2015 (UTC)|Rowena= She smiled. "Yes."}}
=Black Lake=
*Rowena and Josiah (2026)
{{MerisaMist|time=00:25, September 4, 2015 (UTC)|Rowena=Rowena walked by the edge of the frozen water. As she walked, she stared at the ice, wanting to break it's surface}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=00:38, September 4, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah=*Josiah had walked a full circle around the lake when he came face to face with Rowena. He smiled to himself the nearer her came to her.* "Hello, stranger." *He grinned taking a few more steps toward her until they were standing barely an inch from one another.*}}{{MerisaMist|time=00:40, September 4, 2015 (UTC)|Rowena=She glanced up at the familiar voice and smiled upon seeing who it was. "Hey." she simply said. She became aware of how close they were.}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=00:50, September 4, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah="Did you enjoy the holidays?" *He starred downwards at the lake the unmistakable grin still stuck on his face.*}}{{MerisaMist|time=00:52, September 4, 2015 (UTC)|Rowena="It was great if you take out all the 'I want to open my present first!' arguments." she grinned. "What about you?"}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=01:00, September 4, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah=*Josiah nodded in understanding as he chuckled biting on his bottom lip to silence himself.* "A lot of the same, it sounds like. Except for us, with Matt being so little he has the privilege of opening his present first, and everyone else's for them if he so wishes. We spoil him, but he probably won't remember that when he gets older." *He shifted his gaze toward Rowena.* "Were there any gifts left for you worth talking about?"}}
{{MerisaMist|time=01:08, September 4, 2015 (UTC)|Rowena=She nodded. "Yeah. More parchment. For my maps." she smiled. "you?"}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=01:14, September 4, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah=*Josiah lips parted showing a few of his pearly white teeth as he smiled thinking of Rowena's maps.* "A dragon bone blade." *He shrugged grimacing as he stared back at the lake. He preferred if the dragon kept the bones it once had, whether dead or alive they were not for his family to take.* "All my siblings will have one. Everyone in my mother's family has one. It is a beautiful knife, I cannot deny that. Owning it somehow feels wrong."}}{{MerisaMist|time=01:16, September 4, 2015 (UTC)|Rowena="A dragon bone knife?" she said in disbelief. "That's not creepy at all." she said sarcastically}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=01:21, September 4, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah="Not creepy or morbid in the slightest." *He shook his head a small smile on his face.* "My gift may have been odd, but at least it wasn't as paper." *He joked.* "Have you put that parchment to good use yet?"}}{{MerisaMist|time=01:23, September 4, 2015 (UTC)|Rowena=She cracked a smile at his joke. "Of course I have!" she said with a smile. }}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=01:33, September 4, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah="Retracing steps?" *He raised a brow to ask then continued further.* "Have you moved on to something new, for you?"}}{{MerisaMist|time=01:38, September 4, 2015 (UTC)|Rowena=She shrugged. "Just mapping things that interest me." she looked at the ice again for a second before looking back at Josiah with a mischievous smile. "Dare me to walk on the lake?"}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=01:43, September 4, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah=*Josiah grimaced, every muscle in his face showing his displeasure at the thought of her walking on the ice, and possibly falling though.* "I dare you to take me with you." *It would not have been better to add his weight and hers to the ice. He would very simply choose to be closer to Rowena than farther away from her.*}}{{MerisaMist|time=01:46, September 4, 2015 (UTC)|Rowena=She grinned. "Alright." she took his hand as she took one step on the ice}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=01:54, September 4, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah=*Josiah griped Rowena's hand tightly. The very evident fear in him was mostly for her sake. He did of course want to avoid the embarrassment of falling in front of her again. If he could manage it, he also wanted to avoid losing her to both frozen and freezing water.* "If I'd known you wanted to ice dance I would have brought you a pair of skates."}}{{MerisaMist|time=01:56, September 4, 2015 (UTC)|Rowena=Rowena looked back with a grin. "Well, why don't we?" she turned so she was facing him and took hold of both of his hands.}}
{{MerisaMist|time=01:56, September 4, 2015 (UTC)|Rowena=Rowena looked back with a grin. "Well, why don't we?" she turned so she was facing him and took hold of both of his hands.}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=02:02, September 4, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah="I would guess the ice is only good for another couple of months. Do you have ice skates? Which is a stupid question because we both have magic. Forget I asked that. Will you?" *He inched his hands up allowing himself a firm grasp of her wrists, he would have kept hold of her hands if he didn't believe that wasn't going to keep her closer.*}}{{MerisaMist|time=02:05, September 4, 2015 (UTC)|Rowena="Will I what? Dance?" she looked at him with a grin. "Of course I will." she stepped closer to him and waited for the dance to begin}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=02:12, September 4, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah="I suppose I should lead." *He smiled in appreciation accepting that she was ignoring his stupid question. He took one of her hands, and placed it on his shoulder, while placing his own at her hip. He held her other hand in his own, and he attempted to push off the frozen water in such a way that together they would spin in a slow circle.* "Have you ever waltzed on ice before now?"}}{{MerisaMist|time=02:15, September 4, 2015 (UTC)|Rowena=She clutched his shoulder tightly for a moment before she relaxed. "Nope. You?"}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=02:18, September 4, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah="Waltz? No. No, I have not. It makes this a first for the both of us, and I think we are doing rather well."}}{{MerisaMist|time=02:20, September 4, 2015 (UTC)|Rowena=She smiled. "I definitely think so."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=02:27, September 4, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah="When the ice breaks, we fall in, and then have to spend a few hours getting our body temperature back up to a normal human number you just remember how well we danced before all that happened. It might convince you try this with me again." *He smiled back.*}}{{MerisaMist|time=02:29, September 4, 2015 (UTC)|Rowena=She rolled her eyes. "Worrywart." she teased. "It might."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=02:31, September 4, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah="I am not much of a worrywart if you could only admit 'it might'."}}
{{MerisaMist|time=02:33, September 4, 2015 (UTC)|Rowena=She sighed. "It probably would."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=02:39, September 4, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah=*Josiah rolled his eyes pushing off the ice to send them spinning in the opposite direction.* "It probably would is so much more convincing than it might. Thank you, Rowena. Thank you ever so much." *He laughed.*}}{{MerisaMist|time=02:42, September 4, 2015 (UTC)|Rowena=Rowena laughed with. "It is." she spinned on her own before she fell on her butt. "Ow. They make it look so easy in the movies." She tried to stand back up}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=02:51, September 4, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah="It wasn't." *He shook his head slowly gliding along on the ice beside her. He reached for her as she fell trying to catch her, and failing miserably.* "They have skates. They also put in quite a lot of practice to make it look so easy. Let me help you." *He floated over to Rowena having to do a small lap around her before he slowed down enough to feel confident reaching for her.*}}
{{MerisaMist|time=03:10, September 4, 2015 (UTC)|Rowena=She took hold of his hand and let him pull her up. "Thanks." she smiled.}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=09:47, September 4, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah="You're welcome." *He pulled her upwards, and into his arms.* "I wasn't going to let you keep tottering around like a spider missing a few legs. No matter how funny it might have been."}}
{{MerisaMist|time=03:58, September 5, 2015 (UTC)|Rowena=She rolled her eyes. "Haha very funny." she looked at the ground. "You know, I would probably do much better if you avoid pushing off so we separate."}}
{{MerisaMist|time=17:17, September 5, 2015 (UTC)|Rowena="How am I supposed to if I'm way up here." she said with a joking smiled}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=00:57, September 6, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah=*Josiah shot Rowena a look as he chuckled* "That sounds like a personal problem, Tinkerbell. I don't think I can be of too much help to you with that."}}
{{MerisaMist|time=00:59, September 6, 2015 (UTC)|Rowena=She snorted. "Tinkerbell? Really? That's the best you've got?"}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=01:04, September 6, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah="No. It'll do for now. Maybe if I clap my hands you'll get your magical fairy powers back, and you can stay on both your feet." *He laughed, and started a slow clap.*}}
{{MerisaMist|time=01:39, September 6, 2015 (UTC)|Rowena=She facepalmed. "Does that make you Peter Pan than?"}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=01:50, September 6, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah="I guess." *He stopped clapping to laugh.* "I could be your Peter Pan."}}{{MerisaMist|time=01:54, September 6, 2015 (UTC)|Rowena="That. Was incredibly cheesy. And we should probably get off the ice before I injure myself from face planting."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=09:09, September 6, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah="You're making a lot of sense right now." *He carefully tried to lead the way off the ice.* "I really would have thought I would have been the one to fall or at the least get injured first."}}
{{MerisaMist|time=15:04, September 6, 2015 (UTC)|Rowena=She would follow him carefully. "Well, now we know. Your clumsy on land, I'm clumsy on ice." she said with a smile.}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=19:34, September 6, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah="Nobody's perfect." *He shrugged smiling back.* "Should we even bother with seeing how either of us fair by air or by sea?"}}{{MerisaMist|time=19:40, September 6, 2015 (UTC)|Rowena="It's worth a try. I might have sea legs you could have air...legs? I don't know. Just roll with it." she said with a smile as she tried to get off the ice.}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=00:34, September 7, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah=*Josiah tried to keep a straight face.* "Rowena. Air legs?" *He reached out for her hands offering to pull her to safety the rest of the way* "If there were such a thing. You would probably be the one to have them."}}
{{MerisaMist|time=00:40, September 7, 2015 (UTC)|Rowena=She gratefully took his hand. "Nah. I'd be the one clinging to the seat." she joked}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=00:51, September 7, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah=*Josiah pulled Rowena toward him, letting her clumsy ice legs take as much time as they needed to make it to more solid, stable ground.* "Making use of the cushioning charm? You could do that on broom, but I think I know what you mean."}}{{MerisaMist|time=00:59, September 7, 2015 (UTC)|Rowena=She finally made it to land. Thank goodness. "Why would I use the cushioning charm?" she asked genuinely curious}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=01:10, September 7, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah="For when you are clinging to your seat. To make it more comfortable." *He chuckled.*}}{{MerisaMist|time=01:13, September 7, 2015 (UTC)|Rowena="Oh!" she said as she mentally face palmed. "I'm pretty sure the seats are pretty comfortable already though." she said as she smiled}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=01:17, September 7, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah="If you say so. I wouldn't really know." *He shrugged.*}}{{MerisaMist|time=01:19, September 7, 2015 (UTC)|Rowena=She shrugged. "Well, I wouldn't exactly know either." she pointed out.}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=01:26, September 7, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah="Then... Perhaps we'll start with sea legs?" *He grinned* "Should we make a raft?"}}{{MerisaMist|time=01:29, September 7, 2015 (UTC)|Rowena=She shook her head. "Nah. We don't even have the supplies for it. Maybe this summer?" she thought aloud}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=01:34, September 7, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah="I suppose you know a body of water we could build a raft in?" *He was being sarcastic, and hardly expected her to answer him.* "You could always come to Portugal. We aren't on the water where we live, but we get a lot closer to it when we go to Braga."}}{{MerisaMist|time=01:36, September 7, 2015 (UTC)|Rowena="You go to freakin' Portugal?" she asked clearly surprised}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=01:40, September 7, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah=*Josiah laughed putting on his thickest Portuguese accent.* "I am from Portugal. I live in Portugal."}}
{{MerisaMist|time=01:44, September 7, 2015 (UTC)|Rowena=Her jaw dropped. "But you seem so...English." she said though she couldn't help but grin.}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=01:48, September 7, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah="I think you dropped something." *He chuckled watching her jaw drop.* "Thank you for the compliment? Maybe you would like it better if I said obrigado."}}{{MerisaMist|time=01:50, September 7, 2015 (UTC)|Rowena=She grinned. "Anytime." she then tilted her head. "What? Obri-What now?"}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=01:52, September 7, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah="Obrigado. It means thank you." *He laughed.*}}
{{MerisaMist|time=01:55, September 7, 2015 (UTC)|Rowena="Well then. Без проблем" she grinned. He was going to speak a different language, she mine as well as return the favor}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=01:58, September 7, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah=*Josiah shook his head from left to right, his brows knitting together in confusion.* "That's just not fair. I told you what I was saying, I translated for you. Was ... that supposed to me you're welcome?"}}
{{MerisaMist|time=02:00, September 7, 2015 (UTC)|Rowena="No problem." she corrected. "Though I should have said, В любое время. That means anytime." she said.}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=02:01, September 7, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah="You cheeky monkey." *He smiled trying to remember those very different sounding words.*}}
{{MerisaMist|time=02:03, September 7, 2015 (UTC)|Rowena=She cocked an eyebrow, "Monkey? That's almost as bad as tinkerbell." she joked}}

{{Hecate Grimm|time=22:43, September 18, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah=*Josiah was too often seen strolling the grounds with a book in-front of his face, or tucked under his arm. More and more recently he could be seen walking side by side with Rowena, and even more often with on of his hands laced with hers. Today was no different, and he repeatedly glanced over at her while they walked coming up with some other ridiculous nickname for her.*}}{{MerisaMist|time=22:47, September 18, 2015 (UTC)|Rowena=Rowena grinned at Josiah as she said "Funny how we're walking on the very stairs where it all began."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=22:51, September 18, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah="I should probably keep my eyes on the stairs, and off of you. Although, you and I could go for a tumble together? I doubt it would be worth the bumps and bruises." *He chuckled.*}}{{MerisaMist|time=22:53, September 18, 2015 (UTC)|Rowena= "Pft. What's a few bruises?" she joked}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=23:08, September 18, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah="I had a feeling you would say something like that." *He laughed.*}}{{MerisaMist|time=23:09, September 18, 2015 (UTC)|Rowena="And why's that?" she smiled}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=23:14, September 18, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah="Because you might be insane, but to me you're insanely fearless. While other people would shake their heads at rolling down stairs. I always imagine you would to be the one to jump in the air, and go first."}}{{MerisaMist|time=23:15, September 18, 2015 (UTC)|Rowena=She grinned. "I probably would. But I'd drag you with me."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=23:26, September 18, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah="Fantastic! We get hurt together, we suffer together, and we heal together." *He laughed.* "That is truly how two people bond with one another."}}{{MerisaMist|time=23:27, September 18, 2015 (UTC)|Rowena=She grinned. "Exactly." she said as she poked his chest.}}

{{Hecate Grimm|time=17:10, September 19, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah="I think you're attracted to clumsy guys, and you want to see me do something that reminds you that you like me."}}
{{MerisaMist|time=01:55, September 20, 2015 (UTC)|Rowena=She looked at him. "I don't need to be reminded by how much I like you. Having your hand be in mine works just fine." She smiled}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=00:36, September 21, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah="Poetry in motion." *He smiled back squeezing her hand.* "That was a bit of a let down, but I don't think it will stop from trying to find bigger, grander ways to remind you that you like me, a lot."}}
{{MerisaMist|time=00:42, September 21, 2015 (UTC)|Rowena="And the sappiness begins." she smiled}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=00:45, September 22, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah="The sweet-nothings I have yet to whisper in your ear do not have to be mawkish just yet. That sort of thing takes years, give us some time to get there, Whitacre."}}

{{Hecate Grimm|time=02:25, September 22, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah=*Josiah's head tilted to the right. and with his free hand he scratched at his neck in thought.* "Okay. You're right. That was pretty sappy." *He nodded.* "At least you're the one who said it, and not me."}}

{{Hecate Grimm|time=03:50, September 22, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah="You have no idea how tempting you truly are, but I'd rather not let you weaken my resolve by trading a kiss for one of my thoughts.

She'd see Josiah and smirk. "Fancy seeing you here."}}

"Well, it definitely is surprising to see you here. What are the odds?"}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=01:22, September 30, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah="If you'd asked me. I would say the odds were pretty high." *He grinned up at her.* "Are you going to stay up there, and continue to look down on me?"}}{{MerisaMist|time=01:24, September 30, 2015 (UTC)|Rowena=She smirked at that.

{{Hecate Grimm|time=01:28, September 30, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah="Kitten?

{{Hecate Grimm|time=01:32, September 30, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah=*Josiah plopped down on the blanket he set out, pulled out an apple from the little basket in the corner, and a book from his bag.

{{Hecate Grimm|time=09:31, October 5, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah="To you be the over-willing one? Yes." *He laughed handing her a small potion filled phial.*}}
{{MerisaMist|time=13:34, October 5, 2015 (UTC)|Rowena="How else would I try new things?" she smirked as she took the phial. "What is this?"}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=00:58, October 7, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah="Cautiously?" *He laughed with a small shrug.* "Since that is a phial, I would suppose there's a potion in it? It's a Calming Draught, it has anti-inflammatory herbs in it."}}
{{MerisaMist|time=01:53, October 7, 2015 (UTC)|Rowena="Um...Okay. I'm guessing you want me to drink this even though I'm pretty calm?"}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=01:37, October 9, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah=*Josiah smiled, and shrugged.* "If your swollen ankle doesn't go away, you'll have no one to blame... except yourself."}}
{{MerisaMist|time=03:02, October 9, 2015 (UTC)|Rowena="Ugh. Fine." she would drink the potion and hand the vial back to Josiah. "That. Tasted. Horrible." she smiled}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=00:58, October 10, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah="Sometimes the ingredients settle, and the flavor is something you sort of have to get used to." *He took the phial back, and gently dropped it into the basket.* "Do you always have a smile on your face after you taste something horrible?"}}{{MerisaMist|time=00:59, October 10, 2015 (UTC)|Rowena=She shrugged. "I never really noticed."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=01:05, October 10, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah="Remind me to only ever offer you food that tastes horrible. Then I can notice for you."}}{{MerisaMist|time=01:09, October 10, 2015 (UTC)|Rowena=She pouted. "And why would you want to do that?"}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=01:15, October 10, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah="What are you pouting for?" *He grinned, one brow quirked curiously.* "I would only be doing so to help you. You did say you never noticed."}}

{{Hecate Grimm|time=01:34, October 10, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah=*Josiah smiled as Rowena leaned toward him, he closed the distance by leaning in until their lips met before pulling back.* "That would be another way. Yes. A good use of time if I may say so."}}{{MerisaMist|time=01:35, October 10, 2015 (UTC)|Rowena=She smirked. "It's a great way to spend the time."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=01:52, October 10, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah=*It's a great way to spread germs too. He laughed to himself.* "You must be feeling better? I didn't think I'd be getting a kiss for causing you to jump out of a tree."}}{{MerisaMist|time=01:54, October 10, 2015 (UTC)|Rowena="Well, kissing you helped the horrible taste in my mouth leave." she shrugged. "So, yeah. I'd say I'm feeling betterish."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=02:04, October 10, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah="There was a compliment in there? Directed at me, wasn't it?" *He grinned, shaking his head.* "I am glad you're feeling better-ish. Does your ankle still hurt when you move it?"}}
{{MerisaMist|time=02:16, October 10, 2015 (UTC)|Rowena=She moved her ankle a little bit. "A little bit."}}

Thanks for asking. How've you been?"}}{{MerisaMist|time=03:42, October 11, 2015 (UTC)|Rowena=She grinned. "Other than falling out of a tree? Pretty good."}}

{{Hecate Grimm|time=04:50, October 11, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah="Do you?"}}{{MerisaMist|time=04:51, October 11, 2015 (UTC)|Rowena="I do."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=04:59, October 11, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah="I don't want to, but I have to call you a liar because it really didn't seem like you did when I was watching you." *He shrugged.*}}{{MerisaMist|time=05:00, October 11, 2015 (UTC)|Rowena="I'm impulsive. What can I say?"}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=05:10, October 11, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah="Extemporaneous." *He sighed fighting a slight smile as he gazed at her, he couldn't fault her for it because that was one of the things he enjoyed about her.* "How's your family?"}}{{MerisaMist|time=05:11, October 11, 2015 (UTC)|Rowena="Same old.

{{Hecate Grimm|time=05:27, October 11, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah="Would you want to be famous quidditch players?" *He joked then took a split second to space them out.* "Hypothetically speaking, which position would you play?"}}{{MerisaMist|time=05:22, October 11, 2015 (UTC)|Rowena="Sports aren't my thing but I love watching it." she paused. "Hypothetically? I would be Seeker. I have an eye for the littlest of things. I guess."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=05:27, October 11, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah="Really?" *He stared at her curiously.* "I would have thought of you as a Beater, or maybe a Chaser. Do you play at all with your siblings?"}}{{MerisaMist|time=05:30, October 11, 2015 (UTC)|Rowena=She shook her head. "Not often. We each have a 'thing'. Like I'm the explorer/let's jump off a building Whitacre. While, Kole, he is more physical." she shrugged. "We never cross into each others thing. It's like an unspoken sibling code."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=05:48, October 11, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah="That's a bit strange. Don't you think?" *He, and his brothers had that sibling code, despite everything they did being something their elder sister had already done.* "It's not exactly the same in my family, but we do have an unspoken understanding that seems quite similar."}}{{MerisaMist|time=05:51, October 11, 2015 (UTC)|Rowena= She shrugged. "I guess."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=05:57, October 11, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah="Then why do you abide by it?"}}{{MerisaMist|time=06:00, October 11, 2015 (UTC)|Rowena= She sighed. "It's our way of saying, 'We may look alike and share a birthday but we're completely different'."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=06:10, October 11, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah="That I completely understand. Joshua is exactly like that." *He nodded a little irritated by his thoughts.* "What's wrong with being alike? Everyone is unique, even if only in the smallest way."}}{{MerisaMist|time=06:12, October 11, 2015 (UTC)|Rowena=She tilted her head. "Who's Joshua?" she then paused. "It's not that. We have little things in our personality that's similar. We just want to be different. You know?"}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=06:21, October 11, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah="Josh is my twin." *He glossed over the fact quickly.* "You've spent the majority of your lives together. Of course you have similarities. You're are siblings, even if you had been separated at birth you would still have those little things in your personality that are the same. It's in your blood."}}

{{Hecate Grimm|time=04:48, October 30, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah=*Josiah looked at her and knew. Not entirely because he was sort of sensitive, and little bit sympathetic.

And you just disappeared!"}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=04:09, December 6, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah="I..." *His eyes widened in shock. His initial reaction coming from the sting burning him from the strike to his face. The second coming from the emotion pouring out of Rowena, and lastly what she had chosen to say.* "I ... I'm sorry." *Was the best he could manage to say. At first.* "Rowena, I would never leave you.

{{Hecate Grimm|time=04:46, December 6, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah="The night would provide a significant amount of darkness. Do you know if anything in here can shine without light?"}}

{{MerisaMist|time=06:42, December 6, 2015 (UTC)|Rowena= She raised an eyebrow as if that was the stupidest question ever. "As long as you don't disappear on me without an explanation."}}

{{Hecate Grimm|time=06:55, December 6, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah="When a man seems needy it can be a sign of weakness." *He paused only to ponder whether Rowena would contradict him for calling himself a man.* "When a woman seems needy it can be a sign of love."}}
{{MerisaMist|time=06:59, December 6, 2015 (UTC)|Rowena= She looked Chen at her feet contemplating his words. Could she actually have fallen for someone? She looked up at him with a mischievous glint in her eye. "Well, in that case, I hope this feels slightly needy then." And she kissed him.}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=07:05, December 6, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah=*Josiah chose not to sully her gesture with anymore words, there was more he wanted to say, more feelings he wanted to express. Instead he simply chose to extend his gratitude by pressing his lips to hers.*}}
{{MerisaMist|time=07:11, December 6, 2015 (UTC)|Rowena= She slipped her arm around his neck as she continued to kiss him. After a little bit she pulled away and said, "I've missed you."

{{Hecate Grimm|time=02:07, December 8, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah="I know that much." *He shook his head stifling a laugh.* "I mean it seems counterproductive. If you are only crossing your fingers to uncross them again."}}
{{MerisaMist|time=02:09, December 8, 2015 (UTC)|Rowena= She shrugged. "Not really. Cause you already wished for luck. You don't need to keep doing that."}}

"Week we never talked about it..."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=02:35, December 8, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah="Not officially. No. You're right. We didn't. I didn't think we needed to. Do you?

Well, he could've been just stringing her along only to break her heart...}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=02:51, December 8, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah="Rowena, if this makes you feel uncomfortable in anyway whatsoever I suppose we should wait for a more appropriate time to become an us.

"You didn't have to hope for someone to be thinking about you. You should know that I was thinking about you."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=03:07, December 8, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah="I hope for that every single day. I couldn't possibly know you're thinking of me, but I will keep that in mind next time I find myself sulking somewhere cold."}}{{MerisaMist|time=03:10, December 8, 2015 (UTC)|Rowena= She frowned. "Why are you giving yourself into the cold then?"}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=03:19, December 8, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah="Because I'm more familiar with fire." *His brows furrowed together.* "Bitter cold reminds me of something I tend to forget."}}{{MerisaMist|time=03:21, December 8, 2015 (UTC)|Rowena= She frowned. "Again. Why would you do that to yourself?"}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=03:22, December 8, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah="What is it you think I am doing to myself?"}}
{{MerisaMist|time=03:25, December 8, 2015 (UTC)|Rowena= She narrowed her eyes slightly. "Frostbite. Cold. You know, things like that."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=03:29, December 8, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah="I wasn't out building igloos butt-naked, Rowena." *He took a moment to laugh.* "I stay as clothed as any sane person would. I guess I like the stinging feeling of a cold breath of fresh air."}}{{MerisaMist|time=03:34, December 8, 2015 (UTC)|Rowena="Oh my gosh Josiah! That's not what I meant." She then nodded. "Ok. That makes more sense."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=03:37, December 8, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah="I was using that as an extreme example of what it is I'm not doing to myself. The imagery seemed to get through to you well enough."}}
{{MerisaMist|time=03:40, December 8, 2015 (UTC)|Rowena= She buried her face in her hands as she blushed furiously. "Yeah. I got that."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=03:45, December 8, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah="I'm glad I was able to help you better understand." *He smiled awkwardly watching her blush.*}}{{MerisaMist|time=03:49, December 8, 2015 (UTC)|Rowena="Gosh I hate you do much." She said not really meaning it}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=03:51, December 8, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah="I love you too." *He chuckled.* "When you say hate you really mean love. Don't you?" }}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=03:45, December 8, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah="I'm glad I was able to help you better understand." *He smiled awkwardly watching her blush.*}}{{MerisaMist|time=03:49, December 8, 2015 (UTC)|Rowena="Gosh I hate you so much." She said not really meaning it}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=03:51, December 8, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah="I love you too." *He chuckled.* "When you say hate you really mean love. Don't you?" }}{{MerisaMist|time=03:55, December 8, 2015 (UTC)|Rowena= She blushed harder when he said that he loved her. He was probably teasing her. "....Yes."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=04:21, December 8, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah=*Josiah smiled nodding his head.* "I thought so."}}
{{MerisaMist|time=04:26, December 8, 2015 (UTC)|Rowena= She looked outside and said, "We should go. More exploring to do. And..." She kissed him on the check and took his hand.}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=11:51, December 8, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah="And... What?" *He smiled closing his hand around hers.* "How and why is there an open ended and at the end of that sentence?"}}
=Black Lake=
*Josiah and Rowena (2027)
{{MerisaMist|time=13:55, December 8, 2015 (UTC)|Rowena= She would drag Josiah here. "Here we are."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=01:09, December 9, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah="Rowena. I've been here before, with you. I've walked around this body of water plenty of times. There's nothing left to explore." *He looked out at the lake.* "Unless we're going in?"}}
{{MerisaMist|time=01:26, December 9, 2015 (UTC)|Rowena= She scoffed. "As if." She looked around. "There's always more to explore."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=01:29, December 9, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah="Alright then. You lead. I'll follow." *He grinned in a way that seemed as if he were daring her to find something new.*}}
{{MerisaMist|time=01:32, December 9, 2015 (UTC)|Rowena= She smirked. Challenge accepted. She gripped his hand and dragged him around the Black Lake.}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=01:39, December 9, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah=*Josiah laughed as Rowena dragged him along, it reminded him of how he dragged her around the QWC that on summer.* "What do you think we could possibly find out here that we haven't already seen before?"}}
{{MerisaMist|time=01:43, December 9, 2015 (UTC)|Rowena= She smirked, "We could find everything or nothing. It's worth a look right?"}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=01:39, December 9, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah="You know I'm not going to say no. Don't you?" *He chuckled as he smiled at her.*}}
{{MerisaMist|time=02:00, December 9, 2015 (UTC)|Rowena= She grinned. "I know." She then continued to drag him around the lake.}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=02:08, December 9, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah=*Josiah stared out at the lake as he found himself curious about the depths of the murky water.*}}
{{MerisaMist|time=02:12, December 9, 2015 (UTC)|Rowena= She continued to walk, dragging him behind her than she stopped. "Here."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=02:14, December 9, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah="... Here?" *He questioned Rowena pulling his eyes away from the lake, and coming to stop just before he would have bumped into her.*}}
{{MerisaMist|time=02:16, December 9, 2015 (UTC)|Rowena="Well yeah. It's different!" She grinned}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=02:19, December 9, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah="Different. Eh?" *He grinned back with his eyebrows raised as if to question whether or not she had been 'here' before.* "It ... looks promising."}}
{{MerisaMist|time=02:24, December 9, 2015 (UTC)|Rowena="Of course! A totally different angle of the lake!"}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=02:26, December 9, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah="That's one way of looking at it." *He nodded grinning a little bit.*}}
{{MerisaMist|time=02:29, December 9, 2015 (UTC)|Rowena= She grinned. "Exactly!"}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=02:31, December 9, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah="So? When you said 'everything or nothing' earlier. You sort of meant both. It's the middle of February. I don't think we'll see much out here, but we certainly do have a new point of view."}}
{{MerisaMist|time=02:32, December 9, 2015 (UTC)|Rowena="Which is everything!"}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=02:34, December 9, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah=*Josiah laughed.* "Okay. Just so you know. I'm not arguing."}}
{{MerisaMist|time=03:08, December 9, 2015 (UTC)|Rowena="Because exploration is fun!" She grinned}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=03:09, December 9, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah="Sure it is." *He nodded.* "When you haven't got anything better to do."}}
{{MerisaMist|time=03:13, December 9, 2015 (UTC)|Rowena= She scoffed. "You can get paid for exploring."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=03:18, December 9, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah="If anyone, we both know that'd be you."}}
{{MerisaMist|time=03:34, December 9, 2015 (UTC)|Rowena= She smiled. "Exactly. I'd be doing some real good for the world." She paused. "What about you?"}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=03:43, December 9, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah="Haberdasher? Most likely." *He shrugged with a bit of uncertainty.* "I do have access to the goods I would need."}}
{{MerisaMist|time=03:45, December 9, 2015 (UTC)|Rowena= She tilted her head. "What's a Haberdasher?"}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=03:48, December 9, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah=*Josiah smiled, he had a hard time trying to hide it.* "A Haberdasher is someone who sells goods used for making clothes. In my case I would be dealing primarily with Dragon hide."}}
{{MerisaMist|time=03:51, December 9, 2015 (UTC)|Rowena= "And why's that?"}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=03:56, December 9, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah="I told you this before. Didn't I?" *He quickly racked his brain trying to remember how much of his family they had ever discussed.* "My mother's family is littered with Dragonologists. They've been Keeping and Breeding Portuguese Long-Snouts for centuries."}}
{{MerisaMist|time=03:58, December 9, 2015 (UTC)|Rowena= She waved her hand dismissively. "I know that. But why specialize in Dragon Hide?"}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=04:07, December 9, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah="Why wouldn't I?" *He countered before he continued.* "It's useful. Isn't it? And usefulness equals value. Every wizard kid needs a pair of Dragon hide gloves don't they? Once they become wizard adults they will probably want Dragon-skin cloaks as well." *He shrugged as if he were making more sense then he ever had before.* "I wouldn't be saving the world by any means, but I wouldn't be hurting it either."}}
{{MerisaMist|time=04:09, December 9, 2015 (UTC)|Rowena= She nodded along. "Makes sense."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=04:11, December 9, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah=*Josiah nodded.* "I've thought a bit about it."}}{{MerisaMist|time=04:13, December 9, 2015 (UTC)|Rowena="I could tell." She smirked.}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=04:18, December 9, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah="I wasn't trying to sell you on the idea. That spiel is exactly what I plan on telling my mother, and my father when they finally ask. That is if they ever do ask what it is that I want."}}
{{MerisaMist|time=04:22, December 9, 2015 (UTC)|Rowena="I know you weren't trying to sell me on the idea." She paused, "Why wouldn't they ask you what you want to do with your life?"}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=04:25, December 9, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah=*Josiah's brow furrowed. He knew he definitely told her this before.* "It's the family legacy. The way my father sees it, if I do anything but then I would basically be disowning myself."}}{{MerisaMist|time=04:30, December 9, 2015 (UTC)|Rowena="Well I know being Dragon breeders is in your blood and all but come on! That's absolutely ridiculous!"}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=11:07, December 9, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah="I understand how you could see it that way. I do. I agree with you, I always have. That's why I'm not following tradition. I'm living my life by my rules."}}
{{MerisaMist|time=01:04, December 10, 2015 (UTC)|Rowena= She nodded. "Their loss."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=01:20, December 10, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah="Or so it would seem."}}
{{MerisaMist|time=01:30, December 10, 2015 (UTC)|Rowena="Well, their going to miss out on a guy like you. 'Disowning' didn't even think that still happened."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=01:32, December 10, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah="In my case I was using it as a figure of speech. I'm sure it is still widely in practice among more traditional Pure-Bloods."}}
{{MerisaMist|time=01:34, December 10, 2015 (UTC)|Rowena="Well, that should change. Cause it's pretty stupid."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=01:36, December 10, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah="Just because something is stupid, doesn't mean it will change. That doesn't make you any less right."}}
{{MerisaMist|time=01:40, December 10, 2015 (UTC)|Rowena= She shrugged. "It's changed some but it's still pretty ridiculous."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=01:42, December 10, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah="I wouldn't really know. It was just a general assumption."}}
{{MerisaMist|time=04:39, December 10, 2015 (UTC)|Rowena= She cocked an eyebrow. "Eek all things are not right. But people still do them."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=10:36, December 10, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah="Children can get emancipated from their parents. That doesn't seem right to me. Yet still, it could be for the best."}}
{{MerisaMist|time=22:35, December 10, 2015 (UTC)|Rowena="I guess it depends on the kid's needs."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=01:38, December 11, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah="Or how parents tend to them."}}
{{MerisaMist|time=01:41, December 11, 2015 (UTC)|Rowena="Or That."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=01:45, December 11, 2015 (UTC)|Josiah="Nothing in life is perfect. That's what makes the bad times terrible, and the good times great."}}{{MerisaMist|time=01:47, December 11, 2015 (UTC)|Rowena="Exactly."}}
