aidan says...:
I met Kieran when I was in my first year, he was in his second. I couldn't not talk to him - anyone with an Irish accent is someone I deem conversation worthy, which probably isn't the greatest standard to go by, but I roll with it. It turned out he was pretty awesome, and we've been best friends ever since. We've got pretty similar personalities and we both end up getting into some deep shit together sometimes, but it was always totally worth the risk. I can't count how many detentions we've gotten together. I don't think the teachers appreciate us sometimes and Dumbledore looks at us sometimes like he suspects us of being up to something, but if anything it's more of an amused look so I guess that means he doesn't totally hate us. He's a really awesome dude and I'm glad he's my best friend.

...and kieran says:
Oh geez, Aidan. Haha, he's probably one of the few people in Hogwarts whom I really know tha' can keep up with me antics-wise. Jaysus, he's an absolute riot, he really is. Known him since he was a little first year an' I was in second year. We got along immediately, 'course, 'coz we're so alike, it's ridiculous. I mean, even if we don't get in trouble together, we're usually in detention at the same time anyway. Mos' of the time, though, we're cookin' up somethin' amazing to blow everyone away - or blow things up. Hahaha, Jaysus I remember tha' one time with the dung bombs...God, ye just had to be there, haha. Anyways, it's no surprise he's one of me best mates. We get along like...like cookies and milk or whatever. I dunno, I'm not exactly much for analogies and sh*t. That's Dore's expertise.

string bean says...:
I've known this punk ever since I was born.

Not really, but we're cousins, okay? And yeah, he may be a step-cousin, but I still love him the same. Haha. So, funny story, right? Way back in first year, I met him. Same year, same house, it was basically inevitable. Well, you know, over the years we got closer and closer and, hahaha, I may or may not've had a crush on him. Actually, no, that's bullshit, who am I kidding? I totally had a crush on him - gosh, sue me, it's not like it's creepy cause we weren't related [and technically still aren't!] so don't go off thinking I'm a weirdo or anything. Seriously, though, we have a lot in common - like, what the hell, who else has a weird obsession with Christmas lights?! No one! We bonded over that shit, man! And we're both Irish and mercy I'm ranting, sorry, but anyway. So...hahaha, I remember Kieran was talking to me about his mum's boyfriend and his name was Connor and I remember thinking very briefly about my Uncle Connor, who I knew to be dating someone, but I sort of shrugged it off because Connor is a common name, blah blah blah, but I slowly started piecing the facts together and I told Kieran and I had a family picture and everything, so I showed him Connor and after laughing at my face for like three minutes [...it was a few years old, before I got my teeth fixed, grr shutup] he was like, "FOOOOOCK THA'S HIM" and I was like, "..........HOLY FLYING MAGICAL MONKEYS, YOU'RE GOING TO BE MY COUSIN" and it was just a really absurd moment. Haha. So yeah, there's that. So Kieran became my cousin. And we've sorta gotten closer since then. He's a really awesome guy and I guess I see more of him over the summer than I do a lot of my friends because of family gatherings and whatnot and you know, it's just really cool cause now we have tons of ridiculous family inside jokes and...yeah. We like poking fun at each other, and being the knivving little twat I am, I managed to yank some really old baby pictures of Kieran offa my new Auntie, so that way when he does something to mock me or anything I can just pull out my pictures of Kieran all butt naked with his little tooshie in the air and show his current love interest. Bahahaha. Nah, I'm not that mean, I think I've only done it once or twice, maybe three times, but hahhaha, it's just great fun having him around. He's a riot.

...and kieran says:
Well hey there, it's me little string bean! Bahaha, I love Lu, I really do. We've known each other - what? Our whole lives? Nah, I joke. Only known her about six years. We aren't really that close, considering the fact that we're cousins an' all. By marriage, though. Jaysus, it would be creepy if it wasn't. I flirted with that girl like hell before we both realized that her uncle was datin' me mam. After that, it was jus' sorta too weird, ye know? 'Coz we're family an' all, technically. Anyways, she's a lotta fun, no joke. I always have a smashing good time when she's around, even though she has a bit of a mean streak. I mean, showin' me girlfriends pictures of naked baby Kieran? That sh*t just isn't fair play. But I'll give it to her, I can be very annoying when I wan' to be. Don't know why I started calling her me string bean, either. I think it jus' sorta came to me one day and ever since then I've been callin' her that. Strange, huh? She doesn't mind. As far as I know, anyway. Besides, every family member is allowed one annoyin' nick-name, right? Now all I gotta do is find embarrassing pictures of her, and then I'll have blackmail too. I'm annoyed I didn't think to take that family picture of her, with her messed up teeth. Gods, tha' had been a sight. But nah, I'm not that mean.

Usually.

wendy says...:
I'm just gonna come out and say that I adore the Murphys and everyone associated with them. Okay, so maybe Kieran isn't a Murphy by blood, but still. He's Lucy's cousin, so of course I would know him. Lucy introduced me to him a few short days after I met her, and gosh, is it possible for eleven year olds to get crushes? I certainly did. He was the most adorable gentleman - still is, though he's surpassed "adorable" by now, don't you think? They weren't cousins then, just friends, but we were all in the common room and he was nearby, so Lucy up and told me that the cute dark-haired boy was her buddy Kieran. Honestly, Kieran was probably the first boy I was ever shy around. I am not shy - modest, but wow, not shy. So I guess my crush feelings were a little obvious. And, okay, little thirteen-year-old me might have had a fleeting thought of "Maybe we'll get married and I'll be Lucy's cousin, too!"... hah. Yeah, I was a little silly. I did tell him, you know. In fourth year, when I got a little braver. I was at the age when I was starting to flirt and it was just weird because I could flirt with him very easily. I know, I didn't expect it either. But yes, it was in June when I told him that I had a wee bit of a crush. And... he asked me out. Hah. I was a little hesitant, but I said yes. It didn't last very long, really. Just a little into summer, really. But then, I don't really know what happened. We certainly weren't best friends, or even really close friends, but I think by that point he was too much of a friend? It was actually quite difficult to see him as more than that once we began dating. It wasn't for lack of effort, hah, oh no. But in the end we both decided we liked each other better as friends and amicably split, and we're still good friends today. We still flirt like nobody's business, and he really is wonderful to massage, but we're just friends now and I'm fairly certain that's what we'll stay. And I'm sure he's just as fine with that as I am.

...and kieran says:
Wendy's good friends with me (step?) cousin, soooo it makes sense that we know each other, ey? Except, we met before string bean and I ended up being family and what-not. I always thought she was pretty, still do as a matter of fact. Her red hair is pretty eye-catching, in a good way. Buut I never really thought of her "that way" - we were just all right friends - until one day she confessed her eternal love for me...Only, not really. Tha' was an exaggeration. Haha, Jaysus it was adorable. And ye know, I couldn't help meself - after she told me, I asked her out. Didn't wanna' disappoint the poor lass an' all, plus, like I said, Wendy's a knock-out. We didn't last for very long 'tall, figuring out we were better off as friends after a coupla' dates. It's all good, though, we're ever closer than we were before the dating part. Not to mention, we still flirt like nobody's business. Plus, her hands...Jaysus, they're amazing. An' git your mind outta the gutter, I don't mean it like that. Wendy Palmer gives the best massages in England - hell, prolly around the whole world, except for those chinese women, I've heard they're suppose to be real good. But I digress. Wendy is still amazing. Swear, I'm gonna hire her permanently if I make it back onto the Gryffindor quidditch team. I'm sure she won't mind (;

harley says...:
Kieran freaking Sullivan. I think, if I believed in soul mates and all that stuff, he would be mine. This boy is literally, my life. I'm not really a fan of having a lot of people very close to me, but I had to make an exception for my Kieran. We met when I was in my first year, and sure, the first thing I noticed, even then, was how hot he was. That's inevitable. But I thought he was just another jerk, and that I should steer clear. But then, one night, I was staying up late to read, and I got so lost in one of my books, that when I looked up, no one was left except for me and him. He asked me what book I was reading, and when I told him, he sounded genuinely interested. From then on, it was meant to be. We started hanging out more, and we got pretty close. But we still weren't best friends. I was being careful with him, still afraid that one day he was going to turn into this jerk and never want to be near me again. So I stayed distant. Until the night I got caught in the common room during a thunderstorm. I was sitting in front of the fireplace, trying to calm myself down, and I was crying, and rocking back and forth, and then, all of a sudden, there were arms around me. They were lifting me up and onto the couch. When I looked up, I saw Kieran's face through my tears. And I was never happier to see him. He spent that whole night with me, just rubbing my back, whispering in my ear that he was there, and I was safe. I fell asleep in his arms, and that next morning, I knew. He was going to be my best friend. And I was right. He became like my big brother, always looking out for me; making sure I was constantly taken care of. He really broke down all of my walls and showed me how good of a person he was. My family loves him so much, and his family loves me. One time, when he came to visit me over Christmas break, my mom made muffins, and he could tell I was in a bad mood, so he threw one at me to make him feel better. We ended up getting into huge muffin fight, and after that day, he was dubbed "Muffin". I don't approve of his partying, and I'm constantly worried about him when he's not with me, but I accept it. I accept him. And I love him, I really do. He's always been there for me, and he always will be. It's never been romantic for us, and I really like that. I don't have to worry about him trying to get into my pants, and neither does he. We're not in it for anything but each others company. It's all so...natural. He's my Muffin, and I hope that we never lose each other, because I don't know what I'd do without him.

Harlene freaking Quinn. Haha. God, I love this girl. Like, so much it's ridiculous. It feels like I've known her for - what? Me whole life? Well, even if it isn't so, it sure as hell feels like it. I met her me...second year, I think? I was stayin' up late doing homework (yeah, even back then I was a huge procrastinator. It's horrible, I know, who cares? Dore already gives me hell about it every single facking day). Anyways, like I said, I was stayin' up late doing some homework and I look up from my (probably very crappily done) work to find that the common room was empty save for Harls here. She was just sitting alone, reading, so I thought "Well I wanna take a break from me work, how 'bouts make a friend too?" I'd never seen her before, after all. Obviously, she was a first year or somethin'. So I went up to her and introduced meself and we just sat on the couch and spent most of the night talkin'. It was great, to be honest. Even back then, I thought she was kinda cute. And she had the most beautiful eyes I'd evar seen. After that, we were sort of friends. Not really that close yet, and it went on for a bit, until that "fateful night" (I'm using Dore words here, hah). There was some pretty heavy thunder and lightning and the sound woke me up. When I couldn't go back to sleep, I went downstairs to at least be by the fire when I found Harls sitting on the ground, shakin' like a leaf. I'm not sure what came over me but suddenly I was on the couch and pulling her into my arms. I think I just remembered the way Ness would be when there was a thunder storm goin' on. I dunno what it was, but after that night, we were automatically best friends. I told her everything, and vice versa. She told me about her other fears, too. I've always found it insane, but I'd never tell her. I'll always be there for her whenever she needs me, she knows that much, and I know she'll be there for me too. She's my best friend, through and through. And that'll never change.

First year I walked into a classroom because I forgot my bag and there was some kid in my house color hexing the professor's chalkboard. Every time the professor would begin writing it would write some hilarious untruth instead, such as I love granny's underwear. Something like that. I knew this kid and I had to get to know each other. With our two brilliant minds, how could we lose? We party together all the time - one person who won't let me down when I want to do something fun and stupid. The only thing that bothers me is when people say we're almost the same person. Not true, I have much better hair. We like to be competitive, sometimes at a party we'll see who can get the girl. I think his accent's funny as hell, he probably thinks the same of mine. Really though we're pretty tight because I know there's no dumb drama with him, he's laid back like me.

So yeah you want to know our history? We spend most of our time hanging out in detention hall together. But it's alllll worth it.

...and kieran says:
Noah an' I are like two peas in a pod. And honestly, ye put two pranksters who love to party and have fun and are generally laid back in one classroom and you're bound to have trouble. Hell, making mischief is in our blood, I guess, and together we're unstobbable. Still, I find it bloody insulting when people say we're the same person. I mean, really. Noah is such a pretty boy. I'm a man, thank ye very much. An' yeah I guess ye could say we have this rivalary thing goin' on. Doing the whole who-can-get-the-girl-first and who-can-drink-the-most-without-upchucking thing at parties and what-not. I think I'm quite a bit more of a gentleman than Noah, though, but maybe that's just me competitve streak coming out. We're not exactly hardocre about it. Both too laid back for that, which is great too. I like being around laid back people. Much less stressful. We both dislike teenage drama, too...Okay, yeah, I guess we are kind-of alike. But hey, what's so bad about that? At least I know every time I do some dumb sh*t, Noah is right there with me, laughing about how much we f*cked up while we're cleaning bed pans or writing lines or something equally tedious. That's what friendship is about, right? Haha.

charlie says...: Uh...well...we met early into my first year. I don't really know when because I have the memory capacity comparable to that of a goldfish, but meeting him is one of my first memories of being at Hogwarts and actually talking to someone. It was down at the Quidditch Pitch. He helped me get the hang of flying and taught me about Quidditch. It was cool. And after that...I don't know, we sort of just....ended up talking to each other a lot and I guess he sort of became a really good friend of mine? Ahaha, and then there was this one time when I was in third year and he oh-so-gallantly asked me out. It was hard not laughing at him. ...Well, I did afterwards when he was well out of hearing-distance, but ahaha. I thought it was the funniest thing ever. .....And yes, that means I told him no. But we've been fine since then. He wasn't upset about it or anything, so that's good. Uh...so...yeah. He's kind of...I don't know. I don't know whether or not he's a best friend of mine. We're just...really...close. Yeah. He's cool. And funny. And really great in general. And I enjoy his presence. That is all.

...and kieran says:
I've known Charlie, how long now? Six years? Yeah, around that time. I remember (...vaguely...) that we firs' met in me second year. She found me on the Quidditch pitch and was real curious about the game so I, of course, tole' her alllll about it. I mean, this was - an' still is - one of mefavourite sports, of course I'd be willin' to gush - and yes, I did gush - about it. And I guess we just sort-of...hit it off? We became quite close after that, and even though we were just friends I still found her to be quite attractive so, of course, durin' me fourth year I gathered the guts to ask her out. Jaysus, that was jus' one o' the stupidest things I've ever done. She rejected me, of course, because she's Charlie and she doesn't really date and I don't know what I was thinking. I recovered, though, and we're still good friends, quite close actually. Maybe not best, but close enough. I still find her attractive, of course. Are you kidding me? The girl could be wearing rags and she'd still be sexy as hell. Have you seen those legs? I mean, seriously. But, like I said. We're just friends, and I'm over her. She's great to have around, though. A real hoot, haha. Always manages to makes me laugh, even though she doesn't mean to half the time. And yeah. She's great. That's all.

ella says...:
Kieran. It's been a long time with this fellow. And the years have been absolutely fantastic! This friend of mine makes me smile, a lot! And he truly gets me. I can be myself with him, without any fear. It's a great feeling to know that I can tell him anything. He's always there for me, and I really appreciate it. With him, I feel like nothing can stop me, and he's one of the only people I've really let into my life. On the outside, I know I'm just the average party girl, but he sees me for who I really am, because I trust him enough to let him in. I know he won't leave me. I do love this boy, not romantically, but for friends? He is truly the greatest. We had our moment back in our fourth year. Oh god, he'd love to hear what I have to say about that. We were just so... young, and naive. But I can't deny that he was a good guy. A good boyfriend, even for being only fourteen at the time! I'm just glad that our younger experiment didn't mess up the way we are now, because even though we're broken up, it's almost like we're closer now. I've known this kid for seven years now, and I still can get closer to him. It's weird how life works, but I love it! This guy just makes me happy, and we have the best times together. I'm not gonna deny the fact we still flirt, because there's nothing that could stop us. We're the two friends who will always be something more then just friends, and I know that. But right now we're gonna see other people. Maybe in the future we'll let what happens happen, for now who knows? All I know is that I love this boy.

...and kieran says:
Another old friend of mine. Jaysus, I think I have more girl friends than guy friends. Is it bad that most of 'em are exes, too? Eh. Anyway. Sugarplum is a special one, to be sure. She was my first ever girlfriend, I think? I mean, Bella was my first "real" one, really, but Ella -- Jaysus, that's creepy, their names are similar -- uh, anyway. Ella was the girlfriend I had when we were just, y'know, tryin' it out, the whole girlfriend-boyfriend thing I mean. Didn't last very long, even back then I had issues haha. We're pretty close, I guess you could say. I really like her, she's an amazing friend, and she's definitely fun to have around haha. Not too sure if we're gonna stray down that path again though, I mean she's gorgeous and everything but I think I'm pretty content with being 'just friends' with her. I'm pretty protective of her, too. Well, I'm pretty protective of a ton of people, but Ella especially. I'm not sure why. Eh. Anyway. So yeah, we flirt and everything, but we're just friends. Great friends, even. And it's probably gunna stay that way, too. Haha.

violet says...:
Oh goodness me, Kieran is absolutely wonderful! I'm not going to lie, the thing that made me first start talking to him was his accent, I was curious about where exactly in Ireland he hailed from - I was rather positive, judging by the way he said his u's, that he was from the northern-central area, but I just had to check! Anyway, since that fated day in my first year, Kieran and I have been friends! He's incredibly sweet, I think, and he's just very funny and his accent is absolutely lovely and he's just a really charming person to be around. I would like to keep him in my pocket, if you must know! He gives really fantabulousistic hugs as well, which isn't something I find in a lot of boys! Oh, and we talk about the piano a lot which is just loads of fun! He's just so cute and oooooh gollygeewilikers, hehehe, he makes me giggle and smile and stuff. Also, it basically slays my little heart when he holds doors open for all of his lady friends. I think that's just the sweetest ever.

...and kieran says:
Hogwarts has a ridiculous amount of adorable girls. No, I'm really serious. And Violet Sophia Stevens is one of them. She's seriously just...bahaha, Jaysus she makes me laugh every single time we meet up, she really does. I mean, honestly? This girl's mind - if I was one of those people, I would've loved to try to get in her head an' figure out what she's thinkin' an' jus' how her mind mind works, 'coz some of the things she says are bleedin' deadly. I kid ye not. I don't see how some people can say she's strange - okay, so I do sorta see, but honestly I think she's special. In a good way. I met her a few years back - she was the one who sought me out, actually. Bloody weird encounter too, haha, but what else can you expect from Vi? Anyways, she said somethin' abou' wantin' to hear me accent or somethin'. I thought she was cute right off the bat. I think she's one of the few pretty girls I've come across that I haven' flirted with. It'd just be too strange - like flirtin' with yer cousin or little sister, ye know? 'Coz that's what Vi is to me. Another little sister. An' she likes me gentlemanly behavior, so another plus fer her.

imogen says...:
I met Kieran through Aidan a few years ago, back when I was first getting to know Mr. Donnelly. I admit it, I was a little thrown off by him. He was just so forward, you know? I don't mean in a flirty sense as in with me - okay, he flirted a little, and yes, I mock-flirted back, but whatever - but just he has a strong personality, and when he walks into a room, it's like BAM you're hit in the face with it. It took me a while to talk more than a few words to him, mostly because I didn't know what, exactly, to make of him. I know, that sounds ridiculous. Whatever. So anyway, I did end up actually talking to Kieran eventually, and I'm actually glad I did. He's a good guy, you know? He's a gentleman, and those are tough to come by these days. Forgive me for liking a door held open for me every once in a while. And he's quite fun, too. Honestly, the things he and Aidan get up to? Sometimes I'm surprised they don't get in more trouble. Then again, they probably just need to bat their feminine eyelashes and they're free and safe. They're exceptionally silly together and hilarious to watch. And Kieran on his own? Yeah, he's a good guy. I don't know him too well, but I like him. He's... yeah. Like I said. He's a good guy.

...and kieran says:
Well, Imogen is me best friend's best friend. I was bound to meet her some time. An' you know what? She's a very interestin' person indeed. I thought she was pretty right off the bat, and did me whole flirting thing. Pretty sure she was kinda mocking me or just messin' about when she flirted back. Honestly, I never meant anything by it, and I think she knew that. Now whenever I flirt with her, it's nevar serious - well, I'm not sure I ever say Imogen "flirt seriously". Seems like it'd be awkward, but then again what do I know? She's a riot, though, honest. Hilarious to be around. She never fails to make me laugh with her random/crazy comments. Imogen is the sort of friend ye just want to be around when you're havin' a bad day 'coz she can cheer ye up faster than a pepper up potion can, honest. Yeah. She's awesome.

Awwww, it's my Kieran! Yes, note the miiiiiine, please and thank you (; Don't think I could ever get enough of this boy, seriously! He's oh so much fun, always always always. Sometimes it seems like we're two peas in a pod, y'know? He's charming, such a sweetheart, and he's always looking for a good time. I mean, hello? What's nawt to like? Plusss, the boy's hawt, capital H-A-W-T! Of course we dated! Duhhh, didn't I just say how much the same we are? Like tons the same. And so we flirted lots and lots, always have and always will, haha, and eventually one thing led to another and we dated for a while last year. For the life of me I don't remember why we ended things other than the fact that neither of us are really relationship people, y'know? Or at least like, we don't do long term stuff and there was no point in dragging things out between us when we could just be awesomely awesome friends instead. Which we now are, thank gawd. 'Cause there's no way I could have let things just end like... end end. That would have been a nightmare! I mean, awn-estly? Where in the world would I be without my favorite Irish gentleman to call me princess all the time? Mwah! Love ya, sweetums!

...and kieran says:
Oh sh*t, Rita Skeeter. What to say about Rita Skeeter? She's amazing, for one thing. Amazingly beautiful. Amazingly...amazing? Haha, sorry tha' was lame. Anyways. She's hilarious, she's the same intelligence level as me (...okay that might be an insult to her, she's slightly smarter than me then?), she's beautiful (I said that already, didn't I?), she's an amazing party mate and...she's Rita Skeeter. Every single prepubescent boy in Hogwarts has had a crush on her, I'm sure. Hell, I was one of them. Of course I, unlike most of those boys, actually did something about it when we were old enough. I flirted with her pretty heavily ever since I reached that stage and then, finally, she was single long enough (and vice versa) for me to ask her out last year. I think it was a few weeks after I ended things Lizzy? Yeah, around that time. Well anyways, we dated, and it was amazin'. We didn't last for very long, 'coz Rita and I just...aren't the long-term people, you know? I'm not like Dore, I don't do crazy-in-love/she's-the-love-of-me-life. I think he once stated I have commitment issues, but I don't buy it. I just don't think I'm old enough to start thinkin' about tying meself down to one woman, ye know? Although, if that woman was Rita Skeeter...haha, nah, I kid. Kinda. We still flirt like hell, and I wouldn't mind dating her again because it's Rita, but princess and I are just friends now - flirty friends? Haha, sure. Plus, we go to the same parties a lot and what-not. So yeah. Did I mention she's amazingly gorgeous...? I did? Well, yeah, she is.

Hehe, oooh Kieran! Gosh, he is SO hot. Like ridiculously so. Have you seen his eyes? I mean really? Have you really seen them? They do this thing where they get all dark and smoulder-y and goooooosh okay so he was probably my first ever real crush and I totally acted like an idiot around him when I started off my whole flirting-with-guys phase. He was totally awesome about it, though. Totally flirted back! Although I think he was humoring me more like. I think he thinks of me as his little sister. Which totally sucks, but oh well. I'm over the silly little crush. Although I still do flirt with him like...a whole lot. Because you can't not flirt with someone who looks like that, okay? You just...It's just not possible not to, okay? But anyways. Yep. Oh wait, how we met? Ermm, I think it was my second year? Yep, it was. OH YEAH! I was running through the hallways cause I was late for class and suddenly I run into what feels like a brick wall! Only, it wasn't a brick wall...it was Kieran! And yeah I just sorta blushed and then ran away. That was my shy period, haha. Anyways, yeaaah. He's my brother's bestie, sooo I guess that makes me even MORE of a little sister, and off-limits or whatever. But I don't care! He's so cute!

...and kieran says:
God, Fiona Donnelly. She's a little firecracker, tha' one. She's gonna go far, for sure. I knew of her, from Aidan of course, but I only really met her me...fifth year, was it? Yeah. I though' she was adorable, right off the bat. An' then she started flirtin' with me so obviously in her third year, Jaysus that was adorable. She was awful at it, bu' I humored her an' flirted back a little. I know Aidan would kill me if I tried anything, an' honestly even though I think she's beautiful an' all, but I don't go for girls who're that young. Two years is me limit, I think. Besides, like I said. She's Aidan's best friend. I like the guy too much to mess around with his sister, honest.

Oh man oh man oh man. Kieran is... gah I don't even know how to explain it! Amazing? Eeek, everytime I see him I just get goosebumps and butterflies. It's sort of embarrassing cause I know he notices every time I blush around him, but it's just something I do I guess. So, I've noticed him since my first year, but it wasn't until last year that we started talking. I was around outside the castle with Rose when I finally met him for real. I nearly squealed, but for some random miracle, I was able to hold it in. So we talked for a bit and of course, I blushed, but anyway, he found out who I was and I guess we just sort of talked at random points in the year. I... really like him. But I know it's not possible because he is three years older than me.. I just wish it was. We are good friends now though, and that's a great thing because Kieran is amazing. I feel like this year we're going to be a lot closer, well hopefully at least. Heck, it's the last year I'll be able to hang out with him. Sometimes I just wish I was older so I could maybe, just possibly be in his league? Gah, I gotta stop! He's just I dunno... So nice, and cute, and funny, and sweet. And heeee! I can't not think about it like that when he walks by and says hi. I think I should probably hold in my emotions more, but it's soooo darn hard! Especially with him! Ah. Oh well. I like him a lot! Mhmph.

...and kieran says:
Oh dear, Kase. I swear, hufflepuff fourth year girls are go'anna be the death of me. It's not hard to guess that she has a crush on me - an' I'm not bein' cocky 'neither, it's jus' incredibly obvious - and I suppose I'm...flattered? I still have to try me best not to accidentally string her along. Don't wanna give her false hope, ye know? 'Coz that would just be cruel, an' I'm not that kinda guy. I don't play with people like that. But honestly, she's an amazin' little girl - er, m'apologies. Young woman? Anyways, as I was saying. We met last year I think? Yeah. She was outside with this other adorable little hufflepuff girl who's name totally escapes me. Pretty sure it was some sorta flower. Lily? Nah. Daisy? Jasmine? Can't remember. Anyways, Kasey was -well she still is - adorable. I swear, her face looked like a tomato the entire time. I feel mean sayin' it, but it's true. I love it when girls blush anyway. Frankly, I think it's adorable. Am I usin' that word too much? Oh well. Kase an' I aren't exactly close at the moment, which is a shame really. She looks like a deadly cool girl to be around. She makes me smile all the time, at the very least.

Oh, Kieran! Yes, I know this guy, more than know him, actually. We dated at the endish of last term, and it was great for a while, loads of wonderful experiences I guess our relationship was based more on physical attraction, though, which is why it was easy to break it off, and we broke it off because summer was coming up and neither of us really wanted to complicate things during the season so we agreed to let it go, that it had been fun but we were both aiming towards other goals, thank you, good night. We're still friends, though we haven't written each other during the summer. Guess that's an excuse to do so now. I know things won't be awkward once term starts again, because that's how we both are. We're very similar on many accounts, Kieran and me, and that's really good for exes-become-friends thing.

...and kieran says:
Haha, so I don't usually like the girls so young when it comes to datin', an' I don't exactly have a ton of friends who're Puffers, buuut Emme is...special. Yeah. I mean, I though' she was gorgeous, right off the bat. And can ye blame me for askin' her out? She's beautiful...and she knows it. So yeah, I guess ye could say our relationship was mainly based on physical attraction. We didn't last very long, but that's okay. My relationships generally don't last very long anyway, and Emme wasn't an exception. Don't get me wrong, she's great an' all. But we had a good run, and broke it off on mutual terms. I think we're still friends now? Dunno, haven't heard from her all summer and too damn lazy to attempt ter find her address myself, haha. I'm sure I'll see her around next term, though, and hopefully things wouldn't be awkward then? Hate it when things get awkward with ex-es. Emme's cool, though. I'm sure everythin's all right.

Oh, you mean my boyfriend? Sorry, I just like that word a lot. Especially if Kieran has something to do with it. We actually haven't really known each other for that long. I mean, I've known who he was since I came to Hogwarts. But I didn't really talk to him until this summer. We were both at the hospital visiting Harley, and I knew the whole thing hit him really hard, because they were so close and all. So, I did what I do best. I comforted him. And I guess he decided he liked me. Which I was totally fine with, because I'd been crushing on him since I was old enough to turn a mouse into a teacup. What really got me about Kieran though was when he told my dad he thought I was beautiful. People don't do that. They don't just tell my father they think I'm beautiful and defend me. So, I knew there was something more. And then I kissed him, and I knew he felt the same. So, on the way to Hogwarts this year, he asked me to be his girlfriend, the answer was obvious. I mean, really, who could say no to that boy? Can you? Because I sure as hell wouldn't even if I wanted to.

...and kieran says:
Jo...goodness, she's amazing. I'd only jus' met her this summer, but she made a huge impression. She helped me get through Harley's hospitalization. I mean...hah. I was pretty much a mess for a while there, but then she came along, this beautiful blonde angel - oh shut up, I'm allowed to be corny - an' she made everythin' okay again. I asked her to be me girlfriend on the train ride back to Hogwarts, and things were pretty great for the few weeks after that. And then me, being me...well, I broke up with her. I'd love to say that I broke up with her 'cuz I wasn't feelin' it anymore, but then I'd be lying and I hate lying. I'm an arse who doesn't know the meaning of commitment and it sucks. But at least we're still friends, right?

susie says...:
Ahaha. Oh, Kieran. So, we've known each other baaaasically since first year, I guess? And we've always sorta been in the friendly way. We weren't really close, but then around fourth year we sorta started flirting. I got a bit of a crush on him and I guess he liked me a bit too, haha. We finally did date in fifth year, and it was only for a short time, but goodness, it was so much fun. Kieran was an amazingly fun boyfriend, and our relationship was good while it lasted. We did stay friends after we broke up, since it was on good terms even though it was kinda sad - or I was kinda sad, I guess - and now I adore him more than ever. Kieran's someone I feel completely comfortable around with absolutely anything. He's the only person who calls me "Susie", so he's a little special that way, too. Anyway, I'm glad we stayed close, at least, because I earned a really fantastic friend out of that relationship, and Kieran is just... really, really amazing.

...and kieran says:
Merlin, I've known Susie for ages. Well, okay, maybe not ages, more like...six years, give or take a coupla' months. We've always been friends, though, and I've always found her to be attractive -- c'mon, what can I say, she's my type. Plus, Susie's just...haha, she's amazing, and I love this lass to pieces. We dated back in...fifth year, was it? Yeah. And it was absolutely amazing, haha. She's fantastic. It didn't last very long though, of course. Relationships with me rarely do. But we stayed friends - became even closer, even. I feel like I can tell Susie anything, ye know? Gah, that sounds corny, but whatever, it's true. I still flirt with her occasionally -- jokingly, of course. I just can't help it, Susie is just ridiculously bubbly and flirty and did I mention attractive? I did, didn't I? Well, eh. Ye'd flirt with someone who constantly jumped ye too -- wait. Not like that. Jaysus. Anyway. Yeah. Susie is just great. She's really, really great. And I'm glad we're still friends.

mandy says...:
Ah gosh, Kieran Sullivan. So, yeah, he was a year younger than me, but hey––you could have been a flipping grandma and still been turned on by this hunk of steaming man. I mean, come on, he’s gorgeous! That was, of course, the very first thing I’d noticed about Kye when I first met him. I’d offered him a seat at the Gryffindor table after he’d been sorted and the two of us sort of developed an on and off friendship. Mostly waving in the halls or smiling pleasantly during class or, you know, that kind of thing. I’d see him in the common room and sneaking up the girl’s dormitory sometimes, the goon! and, I have to admit, I’d always had a thing for him. A weird thing, because he was a year younger than me and I usually don’t have crushes on younger guys, but a thing nonetheless. and so sometimes I’d make efforts to talk to him, but you see, he was just so popular and even though I was a year older than him, he intimidated me greatly, so I held my tongue around him and more than likely just stared up at him awkwardly whenever he walked by. It wasn’t until my seventh year that I finally worked up the nerve to rekindle our friendship, and soon enough, he’d asked me to hang out at Hogsmeade with him! Of course I said yes, and we went and it was lovely, and he kissed me... and then that was it. It was a little fling, sadly. Lasted maybe a week or two before we decided we were better off as friends. It was certainly fun while it lasted, though, and he and I are of course on excellent terms, still. I think the experience actually just brought us closer together, though we ended up separated at the end of it! But yes, it was a good decision, I think. Kye was an amazing kisser, though, and I’ll certainly miss that... we did a lot of snogging... just... everywhere we went... but no, I prefer him as a friend. A big, tough, friend who can back me up whenever I need it. He’s great for that, the big bulk. Gosh, his chest is just so big and he’s so muscular and... oh, never mind!

...and kieran says:
I don't usually date older girls, and I'll admit I'm more of a blonde-bloke [does that make sense? ahahaha], but Mandy is...special, I guess you could say. I found her attractive right off the bat. I'm not sure what it is about her. Perhaps it's her huge smile, or the way her beautiful brown eyes light up. Or maybe the older thing had something to do with it too, haha. But anyways, I found myself to be quite smitten with her, even though we weren't that close at all and I hardly knew her. As it were, I was already in a relationship when I started getting all these feelings for her. What, sixth year was a busy year okay Anyway, where was I? Oh, right. Yeah, so I started pursuing her and finally asked her out. It didn't last very long at all - what, a week, maybe two? Yeah. Kinda sad, really, but oh well. It was mutual. We were obviously better off as friends - oh sure, the snogging was great, but that was pretty much it, you know? Well, anyhow. We're still good friends now. Our relationship brought us closer somehow, but that's no surprise since that seems to happen a ton with me. Now she's graduated and I'm kind-of worried I might not really ever see her again. I hope we keep in touch 'coz Mandy's pretty great.
