Bradley ran out of the castle with books clutched tightly in his arms. He found a patch of thick grass next to a wise old oak. He looked to his side and stared at the familar sight of the Whomping Willow. He put down his books and sighed. Finally Bradley thought away from it all

Bradley stood up. He grew bored of running away and wanted to get out of Hogwarts. He grabbed his books and headed towards the Whomping Willow. He drew out his wond and pointed it at a knot twords the base of the tree. Bradley cleared his throat and said "LAPENDO!" the tree stood still and Bradley walk up to the trunk without fear. Well here we go. Next stop the Shreaking Shack! he thought.

"Hey!" Faye called out to him. "Attempting to runaway?" She asked, her eyebrow raised in suspicion. "What are you doing here?" She then added. He looked like a third year or a fourth but she wasn't sure. Another she wasn't sure about was whether third years or fourth could go into the shrieking shack then to hogsmede. Frowning in confusement she quickly coverd her befudlement with a smile as she waited for his response.

Bradley turned around and looked at the girl. He wasn't in a hurry and didn't feel like yelling so he walked up to her and answered "Oh, you know, just minding my own bussiness." He wasn't trying to be rude it was just the prefect badge that made him upset. "Who are you?" Bradley asked. This girl looked pretty cool so he held out his and and said "I'm Bradley." He had a friendly smile on his face.

"Faye..." She said with a smile and greeted his hand with a shake. With a slight hesitation she shook her head and looked at him again. "Better not be here just in case you get into trouble...you allowed to go to the sack?" She asked. What was this? She was a prefect and she didn'tknow about the rules. Sighing she gave him an awkward smile. "So??? Do you want to go for a walk instead?" She had to get out of there before she wanted to go into the sack herself. It was hard for her to be a prefect when she was always wanting to break rules herself.

"Faye... That's a pretty name." Bradley said. He was still smiling. This girl isn't going to get me in any trouble. She seems to cool. Bradley thought. "You know, I have no idea if I'm aloud to go into the Shreakin' Shake. And really I don't care." Bradley stopped for a second. "I'm hopeing your more then that Prefect badge because if your not I could be in trouble." Bradley noticed the girl's robes and added "Owww... I see your in Hufflepuff. I have to say I think that's the best house. If it wasn't for my family I think I would be in there myself." Bradley wished he had been in Hufflepuff and regreted the sorting hats choice of making him a Slytherin. "A walk then? Where to?"

"Thanks." Faye said. Parents were really responsible for picking their child's name but it was her brother and she had to give him some credit for chosing her name. "Hey...do you honestly think I'm going to give you a detention or take house points off you?" She laughed. "But I'll tell you what - since this is your lucky day for being caught by a not so polished prefect, try to be a bit less obvious when you're breaking rules." She grinned. She was hoping this time that it wouldn't turn out to be something like the Forbidden Forest incident. After receiving compliment about her house, she had suddenly realised he was a Slytherin. Feeling a little confused she decided to overlook her nibbling doubt and instead answered light to his compliment. "I think Hufflepuff's a great house. I don't get it though...if you badly want to be in Hufflepuff and I think you're made out to be one - why didn't the hat just put you in there regardless of your ancestry?" She raised a questioning eyebrow. That wasn't her doubt though. Her doubt was - why on earth was he so nice when he was in Slytherin? "Oh well..." Shrugging it off she turned around to walk back out. "I'm going for a walk on the grounds - coming?" She asked, glancing back at him to see if he was coming or not.

Bradley liked Faye. She was nice, so far, and despite the prefect badge she acted NOTHING like Darius. Bradley walked along side Faye and tried to explain his reasons for being in Slytherin. "Well, the sorting hat did question Hufflepuff but I guess in the end it thought it was better for me to be in Slytherin. Now don't get me wrong, I'm not Anti-Muggle born wizards but on the other hand I'm certainly not Anti-Strong wizarding backgrounded people." Bradley hated saying "pure-blood" he thought it was like saying "mood-blood". "I can't say I don't have pride for belonging to a family with such strong roots. But I don't think I'm better then anyone else. So I guess it went like this: I'm not smart so I don't belong in Ravenclaw; I'm not brave, i just don't care, so I'm all wrong for Gryfinder and then there's Huffepuff. I think the reason I'm not in Hufflepuff is because I'm not loyal. So the only house that is left is Slytherin." Bradley thought to himself with a sigh, I think I have thought about his long enough. "Sorry I'm talking to much." Bradley chuckled to himself. He looked around the grounds and thought about how beautiful it looked this time of year. As they walked Bradley asked "So where should we go? or is a walk around the grounds good enough?" "Oh" Bradley added "You can ditch me at anytime. And thanks for talking to me. I think you're really nice."

After listening to his explanation, Faye gave a small smile. “I’m sure there’s a reason behind everything.” She said. “And I’m sure you’re different to other Slytherins.” She added. She did think that he was nicer than other Slytherins and had better manners. “No – keep on talking.” She replied. It was always relaxing to listen to people, although she was a chatter herself. “Walking around the grounds – and no, I don’t want to ditch you. Who am I going to walk with then?” She laughed. It would be like old times with Marcus, she and Bradley walking together and getting to know each other. “Thanks…” She added to his compliment. She did want to say how polite and different he was but she decided to keep quiet for the moment.

Hey walked in silence for several minutes just enjoying the beauty of Hogwarts. "Do you know Darius?" Bradley ask thoughtfully.

"Darius? Yeah. Why?" Faye asked. She could have told him that she considered him as a friend but she decided not to tell him and hear what he thinks about Darius first.

"What do you think of him? He's really mean to me and I was wondering if he was just mean to everyone." Bradley felt guilty because he wasn't exactly nice to Darius either. "I guess I have done some stuiped things to him. But I have apoligized and still he is mean! What am I suppose to do? I mean, what would you do?" As they walked he turned and looked at Faye.

"He was actually quite nice to me at first. I think you should just leave things be. It's clear that you two have different opinions and are strong headed. Just stay away from him and he'll stay away from you." She advised.

That is so much easier said then done. "I feel like he always pops up and then one thing leads to another..." Bradley hoped Faye didn't notice the dark bruises on Bradley's neck from when Darius tried to kill him the day before. "I keep apoligizing and trying to be friends but its like he doesn't care." Bradley shoved his hands into his pockets and hunched over. "You don't think you could talk to him?" Doen't get her into this! This is between you and Darius! Bradley thought to himself. "But you don't have to.... I mean maybe if your talking to him in and you remember but not if you don't want to!" Bradley blush. "Nevermind... It was a stupid thought..."

"Stop apologizing. Darius is a friend of mine but there is no point of apologizing when there's no result. Sure I'll talk to him, I'd be more than happy too. As soon as I see him, I'll talk to him about it." She could see that there was more to what he said but decided to lie low and ask him about it later in detail.
