Cherry smiled. "Alright. Sounds good. While we're in Hogsmeade I plan to look in to the book stores for information on past students. Still hot on the trail of my mother's past. Meet me here after you eat." she said.

"What do you expect to find there?" Cam asked, trying to hold the connection a little longer, just to see her for a little longer. "I mean, I don't think a bookstore would have much on the students. You should probably be looking in the library." he pointed out. Regardless, he'd help her out with it.

Cherry scoffed and her face turned to a temporary disproving look. "There's tons of books about all the things Voldemort did. Someone must have been brave enough to write something." she said.

"Maybe." Cam admitted, nodding. She was right, to a degree. He didn't know what they'd find, but... "Alright, I'll help you out. Worth the try, you never know. Maybe you'll find what you're looking for...or maybe the bookstore owner can point you in the right direction, because somehow, they always seem to be able to do that..." he trailed off, remembering one time in a Muggle bookstore when the wizened old man at the counter had managed to tell him pretty much everything he'd needed to look for, without even opening a book.

"Um, hi," said Icia scared. "I'm a little shy and I was...looking for someone to...hang out with." She asked the boy (Cam) while looking at the ground blushing.

Cam jumped, nearly dropping the mirror. "Hold on, Cherry." he said, looking up at the girl, who had appeared out of nowhere. It took him a moment to realize it was a girl. Suddenly feeling a little more embarrassed, he pulled the covers up around his shoulders. He usually slept without a shirt on, but the reason he hadn't covered up with Cherry was, frankly, she couldn't see that. "Who are you? How..." he glanced at her robes, seeing the gold and black emblem of Hufflepuff. "How did you even get in this tower?" he asked, sure there had to have been some type of enchantment on the stairs to the boys' bedroom...he knew there was one of the girls' stairs.

Icia looked around quickly then blushed even harder. "Wow; I really am hopeless." She stood up and started walking out. "I followed a friend in here and I though she went up here. Well, oops; I guess everyone makes mistakes. Sorry sir."

"Did your friend neglect to tell you where the bedrooms were?" Cam asked, slightly annoyed. He nearly drew his wand on her, just to get her out of the room. "You're probably a nice person, but there's got to be other ways of making friends then jumping them when they are in bed." he said, still slightly annoyed at her. There was a common room downstairs for a reason.

"Well, geez; sorry I blanked out for one minute and missed which staircase she went up." Icia pulled out her wand and had it by her side, in case of a fight. "I have a slight attention problem; I tend to black out for minutes on end because of something in my head." She walked out, still blushing and ticked off.

Cam let out a sigh of relief when the door closed behind her. He dropped the covers and picked up the mirror, tapping the wand to his forehead and making an explosion sound with his mouth. "Sorry about that...some confused Hufflepuff came into the common room with her friend, then went up the wrong staircase. Scared the crap outta me." he admitted, lowering his wand.

Suddenly Cherry's mirror showed nothing more than her reflection. She wondered where Cam had gone but decided she would wait on him. He was different than the boy it had taken her so long to get over. Cam made her feel like dancing in her favorite sundress, or rolling in the snow and throwing giant piles of snow back into the sky. She gazed off for a while as she thought about it and about him. Who knew where this new thing would take her. She wouldn't let it slip away if it was something spectacular, if not she wouldn't waste her time or his. Then, something caught Cherry's eye in the forbidden forest and she then began walking towards it, slowly.

To his surprise, Cam's own mirror showed his reflection. He shrugged. Maybe the contact broke when he dropped it. He put his wand to it and spoke Cherry's name again, and his mirror showed him...not much. It appeared to be...the edge of a robe, and maybe someone's pants. "Down here, Cherry." he said, hoping she'd lift the mirror again, and wondering where she was walking off to.

Cherry stopped in her tracks and lifted her mirror to her face again. She jumped at the sound of Cam's voice. She felt as if she'd just snapped out of a trance, as if someone had hypnotized her. She giggled shaking her head back and forth for a second. "Sorry Cam. This thing is like a cellphone where the signal goes in and out." she laughed. "So are you getting out of bed sometime today or not. I believe you have invited me with you to a Hogsmeade visit." she said with a tender smile.

"I did." Cam said with a smile. He could see the castle in the background, as she had been walking toward the forest, and grinned mischievously, getting up and walking over to the window. He waved out it, but predictably, he couldn't see himself in her mirror: she was too far away. "Was worth the try." he said with a laugh. "Alright, I'll meet you at the entrance to Hogsmeade in a little bit." he said, putting two fingers from his free hand to his lips. He kissed them, and put them up against where her lips where on his image of her.

Cherry couldn't help but blush. She wanted to do it back but decided it was probably cheesy and she liked to be original. She liked Cam too much to just do back to him what he did to her. Cherry made her way to the Hogsmeade Entrance singing lightly. She hadn't done that since before Albert died. Whenever her emotions were super strong, she sometimes had to fight hard to resist bursting into song. Even when she was sad. Now that she was somewhat happy and feeling slightly normal she wanted to sing again. "So darlin' darlin' stand by me. Oh Darlin' stand by me." she sang lightly to herself dancing a little as she walked.
