Bradley and Darius having guy time

[Tibby]

Tibby was a few feet from Bradley and Darius when she said "Hey guys. Here's your broom Darius. i saw u out here and thought that id give u your broom."

[dairywizard]

Darius blanched, wondering if she heard anything.
"Thank you!" he managed, and although genuinely happy, with Tibby around Darius felt uncomfortable. How much did she hear?!
Darius stood up and brushed off his robes.

[sublime]

Bradley glanced at Darius and stood up. Bradley had been thinking the same thing. He gave Darius that I-had-no-idea-she-was-gong-to-be-hear look. "Er... Neat broom." Bradley said as he messed up his hair.

[dairywizard]

Darius caught Bradley's eye and piped, "Well, that was so nice of you to do this! I just had no idea that it would be here so soon!"

[sublime]

Bradley was also surprised at the speed of arrival. Watching Darius with his new Firebolt made Bradley miss his own broom even more. He looked at the ground. I am not going to get depressed over a broom Bradley thought to himself, he was truly pathetic.

[Tibby]

"well now that u have it i guess ill go back to the castle." Tibby said starting to walk away.

[sublime]

Once Tibby was gone Bradley returned to the ground again. He watched Tibby walk back to the castle. He wanted to make sure she was a safe distance away before starting there conversation again. "Hey let me see your broom."

[dairywizard]

Darius looked at it ((ooc: where is it?)) and picked it up, then dropped it, and watched how it hovered motionlessly, at a perfect mounting level--a little below his waist. Darius stared, giddy. His mouth was slightly open in an "o".
"Look at this!" he squeaked excitedly. "Finally, something other than a housebroom! Something loads better!" Darius swung one leg over it. "Do you mind if I ride it for a second?"
ooc: plot time!

[sublime]

"Sure go ahead I mean it's your broom do whatever you want. But do you know how to ride a Firebolt. They are a bit touchy. If you kick off to hard you might end up in another country!" Bradley wasn't exaggerating. He had witnessed yesterday what it felt like to ride Pracila's broom. "I was riding Pracila's broom yesterday. Hers is custom made." Bradley smiled and blushed a little when he said Pracila's name. He hoped Darius wouldn't notice.

[dairywizard]

Darius was oblivious about everything but the wonderful feeling of pushing off, and having the wonderful but stomach-dislocating ascent lift his body 10 feet about Bradley's head.
His hands tightened around the handle and he turned back and examined the bristles, which were all polished and tied neatley in position. Darius was so overjoyed he couldn't contain his chirps of laughter. He flattened himself to the handle and darted around the tree in tight loops, and then stopped directly above Bradley's head, watching the forbidden forest tentively. Darius had a quick lapse of sanity and pushed his broom in the direction of the trees.

Bradley sat down and looked up at Darius. "How fast can it go?" Bradley's broom was better then the Nimbus but he didn't know to much about the Firebolt. "How does it handle? Nimbus' get a little shaking and then because of there sensitive turning system you find yourself swerving a ton."

[dairywizard]

Darius' vision snapped from the wall of trees to Bradley's face. "It can go really fast!" Darius said, his attention diverted, and drifting back to the ground. "It's handling is pretty good, but I almost ran it into the ground by accident, but that was probably my fault." Darius slid off his broom before his feet touched the ground and felt the painful shock run up his legs. He then reached upwards and grabbed his broom from its stationary spot above him, and protectivly drew it down to his side, like some sort of pet.
"I can't believe Tibby gave it to me for free! I didn't even think she liked me!" Darius insisted, his hands waving. "But I still know Bridget doesn't like me, although I can think of one person she likes..." Darius smiled.

[sublime]

Bradley winced at Darius falling off his broom. "HA HA HA! very funny." Bradley said sarcastically. "But I don't like her. I like her sister. And to make that even better her twin sister! Man that sucks. And now I am stuck in the middle." Bradley then turned the situation around. "I seriously think that Tibby and you would be a good match. She just gave you a Firebolt! There must be some potion making going on between you two." Bradley looked up at Darius with a devilish smile on his face.

[Tibby]

tibby sat on the steps watching as Darius flew arround and arround and then over the forest. it was amazing to look at the smile on his face. "Mrow" tibby heard a cats meow and turned, it was Tigger her pet tiger. "oh hey tigger, how r the rats these days?"
"Mrow?" tigger said
"oh you dont have to answer that." tibby said still staring at Darius.

[dairywizard]

"Oh, nice pun," Darius groaned. But then when Bradley's expression didn't change Darius said, "well...er..." and then he just stared at Bradley, thinking it over. "Tibby?!" he finally asked, alarmed at Bradley's suggestion. "First of all, she's four years younger than me. Secondly, just because she's a girl doesn't mean that she's eligible for dating," Darius snapped, wondering at Bradley's meaning. "I have to know her first." Darius looked at Bradley quizzically. Hadn't Bradley learned from Ginny that you had to know them well before dating?
