Start all Over. {Carlisle, Tabitha && Avi}

[Roxanne]

Avianna pulled Tabitha into the Ravenclaw common room. "Oh, Tabitha, it's fine." Avianna said, tugging her friend. "Why are you worried?" She shook her head and smiled. "I really want you to meet Carlisle. He's cute, funny and, perfect for you, okay?" Avianna sighed and sat on the couch with Tabitha. "Tabitha, It's okay, we won't get caught, and plus, our perfect let's us have visitor's, on weekends, 10 o'clock until 9 o'clock." She rolled her eyes good naturely, "It's fine." She checked her cell phone. Two new texts. She checked them and replied.

lol. c u soon! xox, avi

She looked at Tabi. "I totally forgot! We need to get you this. It is awesome."

[Katie]

(ooc: Wait, just curious how did Carlisle and Avi meet? So I can know what to have Carlisle do and stuff)

[Desiree']

Tabitha looked around the Ravenclaw common room and felt very uncomfortable. Tabitha has never been in another common room besides the Hufflepuff common room, she did have to say this common room looked beautiful with it's high ceiling.

Tabitha looked at the square thing in Avi's hand. "What is that?" Tabitha asked looking curiously at her. "Are you sure this Carlisle is someone I'll like?" Tabitha was so nervous about meeting this new boy.

(Katie: I'm sure Avi has just seen Carlisle around since they are in the same house)

[Katie]

(Okay I'll wing it, sorry if I mess up. I can always modify the post later)

Carlisle was sitting in his dormitory glancing through his Ancient Runes book and he snapped it shut when he saw for the third time in a picture of Alexis' face. He grunted as he ran his hands through his black, wild, curly hair that could never be tamed. He needed to snap out of this funk, he thought to himself. He knew Alexis had a boyfriend, Kara had told him so. He needed to get away from his books for awhile.

He jumped off his bed, grabbed his cloak and made his way down the stairs and into the Ravenclaw Common Room. It was empty except for two girls sitting on the couch, one of them he recognized from the table that he, Kara and Alexis had sat with during one of their lunch times. Avianna, or something like that. He nodded his head once at them and then turned towards the door.

Then he heard his name being called.

He raised an eyebrow as he turned around to face them, "Yes?" he asked.

[Roxanne]

"It's a cell phone, I bewitched it to work in the magic world," She tilted her head. She sighed and snapped it shut. "It's very cool and useful," She explained. "Faster than owls." She sighed and put her head back. She sighed and shut her eyes. "I'm sure, Tabi. You'll love him. He's perfect, and has beautiful hair." She explained. She smiled. "I'm positive." She rested her head.

All she could think about was Erik. He was beautiful.... to bd he was taken. Sigh, why was this?

Avi opened her eyes to see Carlisle. She sat up staright. "Hi, Carlisle." She smiled at him warmly. "This is Tabitha, someone I wanted you to meet."

[Katie]

Carlisle slowly walked into the common room and stood in front of the two girls. Avianna he knew, was pointing at the other girl standing there looking at him. She was very pretty, he thought to himself. He shook his head and then held out his hand.

"Hi Tabitha, I'm Carlisle."

[Desiree']

Tabitha felt herself blush, and was just going to wave, but that was the old Tabitha. The new Tabitha wouldn't be shy and try to hide from him, and Avi was right, he is cute.

"Hi Carlisle, it's nice to meet you." Tabitha said with a smile on her face.

Tabitha turned to Avi and winked and mouthed 'your right' then turned to Carlisle and smiled again. This made Tabitha feel exhilarated because it was something she wouldn't normally do. Tabitha liked this new feeling.

[Katie]

Carlisle smiled back at her. "It's nice to meet you too. But I don't think I've seen you in here. Aren't you in Hufflepuff? Or maybe Gryffindor. My friend Kara is in Gryffindor too. She has bright red hair and short. You can't exactly miss her." he replied a bit nervously. He was good at changing the subject when he was nervous.

[Desiree']

Tabitha blushed again and started to get nervous once again. "Well, no, I'm a Hufflepuff, but Avi said it's okay for me to visit from time to time. Yeah, I think I have seen her around." Tabitha said with a sinking feeling in her stomach.

Could his 'friendship' for her be just that, friendship. "So what book were you reading before, I noticed you were reading before"

[Katie]

Carlisle nodded, "Yeah don't worry about coming in here, Kara comes in here with me all the time. Most of the time, I end up tutoring her about certain subjects." He replied with a stiff laugh. Oh yeah, he thought, he was definitely nervous and he noticed that she was blushing at him. Was she that nervous around him also?

"Anyways well I mostly read my textbooks when I am here. However, I do have some other books that I read for entertaining. I like alot of historical fiction. I read a lot of biographies and some called science-fiction. My brother is into something called Star Wars, it's a Muggle thing. I still don't really understand it. What kind of books are you into?" He asked curiously as he noticed a seat that was empty close to them. He slowly made his way over to the armchair and sat down pulling it closer to them than before.

[Roxanne]

Avi nodded. "Yeah, Carlisle, What subject are you best at?" She asked. Tabitha started blushing. She couldn't! What happened to confident girl? She smiled as he sat down, and moved closer to them. He looked nervous, hmm, maybe, she could use her smartness and think up a plan. She bit her lip. Perfect!

"Hey, Tabi, I'll be right back, you're with Carlisle, so it will be okay. I remembered I needed to get something," She explained, standing, and walking away. "I'll be right back."

[Desiree']

Tabitha felt her heart sinking when he mentioned Kara. Was she maybe more than just a friend? "I like reading my history of magic text books, they are so fascinating."

Tabitha looked up surprised that Avi was going to leave. "Oh, okay, take your time, unless you mind Carlisle." Tabitha, then Tabitha remembered something she had told Tabitha about flirting and gave a sweet smile towards Carlisle, and was glad she still had her make-up on.

[Katie]

Carlisle glanced up at Avianna leaving and shook his head, "No I don't mind at all. Do whatever you have to do Avianna."

He then turned his attention towards Tabitha. She looked like she was sad and nervous about something. He then thought to himself, could she be nervous around me? No, not possible, he thought. No one liked him like that, or had flirted with him since 4th year.

"Well to answer Avianna's question, I love Charms and Potions. I believe both of them are my best subject. History of Magic, I like too. Divination, well, as long as Trelawney isn't predicting that I will die anytime soon, that can be interesting. Kara loves DADA, and I do too sometimes. I just like to do hands-on things. We shall never know how to deal with the world outside Hogwarts unless we practice them....sorry Kara says I tend to ramble about boring stuff sometimes. Sorry if this is boring you. I don't really get out much. I prefer to study." Carlisle replied staring at Tabitha.

He did notice when he mentioned Kara, her face somewhat fell.

"Do you know my friend Kara? She's a Gryffindor. You two would get along. She's really nice and funny once you get her out of her shell." Carlisle offered. Maybe she didn't know Kara and was confused...or something else. But he couldn't put his finger on it.

Oh well, he thought, if she wants to know about Kara, then she'll bring it up.

[Desiree']

"No, I don't think I have met her before." Tabitha said as the smile disappeared from her face. Why would Avi try to set her up with someone who wasn't single?

"I don't get out a lot either, but Avi and I did go out for some smoothies the other day, it was amazing to just get out of the castle. Things can get very hectic around here."

[Katie]

(ooc: here I am at two thirty in the morning with a hurt shoulder so I cant sleep...didn't realize this was updated sorries..)

Carlisle cleared his throat, "That is true, sometimes, you just need to get away from everything. I like to walk around the castle when I get stressed out. Well if you would like, I can introduce you two. She's a good friend of mine, that's all. We've been best friends since we were little. Our moms were best friends here at Hogwarts. She tells me I mention her too much so I apologize if I do. I just spend alot of time with her when I can. And yes I don't really go out much either. I have not had a fruit drink besides pumpkin juice in a long time." He replied with a sigh missing his mom's homemade food.

"So Tabitha, do you like being in Hufflepuff?" He asked curiously.
