Bradley sat on the grass on the edge of the forbidden forest. He leaned against a tree waited for Darius to join him. He checked his watch. I hope he got my message, Bradley thought.

Darius walked quickley to the tree where Bradley had told him to meet earlier (via note slipped into the hood of Darius' school robes), completely casual (for Darius, that meant no rigid posture and no book bag). Darius punched Bradley lightly on the arm as some form of greeting.

Bradley looked up at Darius. Rubbing his arm Bradley said, "Hey! What's going on? Thanks for meeting me." Bradley hoped Darius would join him on the ground. Having Darius looking down on Bradley was far to symbolic for his liking. "Sorry 'bout that whole phoenix transformation thing in class. I was just giving you a hard time because I would have never thought of it." Bradley smiled, the last thing he wanted was a head boy for an emeny and so far Darius has turned out pretty cool.

"What are you talking about?" Darius asked, confused. He sat down heavily next to Bradley and supported himself by leaning against the trunk. "There's no need to apologize for that...I was just guessing, although some would consider rebirth a form of transformation of appearance." Darius glanced at Bradley quickley, and wondered why Bradley was treating him so delicately, as if he were afraid of his temper.

"Hmm.... would they?" Bradley said absent mindedly. He really didn't want to talk about "how some people thought that rebirth counted as transformation. Bradley quickly changed the subject, "Did you hear that quidditch matches are starting soon?" Bradley was glad that Darius and him had something in common, they were both beaters.

Darius laughed to himself and then said with an unenthusiastic tone, "Yeah, but it's not that exciting for me. I signed up to be a beater, and I have barely any arm strength, so I can barley hit the bludger without having my whole arm go through shock. In practices I've dropped my bat once and was hit in the face twice. I wish I had signed up for Seeker, not that I wanted to be the star of the team," Darius lied, "but because I'm light and with the Firebolt Tibby's dad is going to send me I could be fast too. And I've had plently of practice being efficient in water, so I'm sure that I would be perfect for the position, because I can make myself like a dart if I lie low enough," Darius boasted. "But my team isnt' even complete yet so Ravenclaw is automatically out of the compitition," Darius groaned. "But Slytherin's lucky--they have so many members, and their team is almost filled!"

Bradley smiled. He liked Darius' self confidence. "Slytherin is a pretty awesome house. But we could practice quidditch together. There is some wicked moves that I could show you." Bradley had started riding a broom as soon as he could walk and picked up the beater's club at the age of five. He wasn't worried about Darius being any sort of compitition.

"Right now?" Darius squeaked.

Bradley leaned against the tree in back of him. He was far to lazy to go flying right now, especially because he was stuck with his crappy Shooting Star. "We can go some other time." Bradley then said, to bring up the conversation, "Tell me about Primrose and you. Rumors are going 'round that you two have the hots for each other."

Darius flushed for an instant and then grew pale. "What rumors?" Darius snapped. "Since when do you listen to rumors?" Darius glared at Bradley, but then his expression softened with dissapointment and he confessed, "Well, she is horrible to me so I'm not even going to bother. She's an absolutely retched person but I can't seem to understand that. I've never really liked a girl, I've never had the time, and I'm not sure like Primrose, it's just that whenever she walks by my head turns. But I don't want to drown you with my girl problems, because you seem to be having some of your own. The twins are fighting over you!" Darius moaned with sarcastic pity.

Bradley looked confused, People fighting over me? No way. Bradley look turned from confusion into a mix of sympathy and happiness (that Darius was jealous of him??), "So you do like her! You just can't get her!" Bradley laughed. "Personally shes not my type but I saw go for it!"

"I don't want to anymore," Darius said after a long while. "She thinks she has power over me, or that I'm some sad boy who's infatuated with her. I don't even think she knows my name. Crushes are so dumb!" Darius shouted, frustrated. "Nothing can happen! It's just some moronic obsession that makes you go mad. And it's not like even if you both liked eachother everything works out, because I watched you and Ginny struggle through dating the whole time."

Bradley cringed at the sound of Ginny's name, "That was a mistake. And I am on hold for right now." Bradley sat up and looked at Darius. "I bet you Primrose likes you she's just playing hard to get. Look at it this way. She is one of those people who are attracted to power. She likes rich people and expensive things because she thinks they bring power. What is one of the most powerful things in Hogwarts?" Bradley paused but then continued, he was afraid Darius might say something like 'BOOKS!'. Bradley then said enthusiastically, "Head Boys." Bradley pointed to Darius' badge, he then realized nothing was there and put his hand down.

Tibby looked out onto to grounds and noticed Bradley and Dairus talking. She decided that she minus well get the firebolt and give it to Darius. so she went lightning fast to her trunk grabbed the firebolt for Darius and ran down the stairs. when she reched the front doors she decided that she should walk the rest of the way, so she could give Bradley and Darius a chance to notice her walking twards them.

"Oh yeah, I've got it in my pocket," Darius said side-handedly. "And no, I don't think she does! That's the thing! If she was acting, she hasn't been realistically Primrose all year. I don't think she loves anybody but herself," he sighed.
