Default ••KA: RPotW•• ->You and Me



Hai, I’m Lawraa, and this is an RP I came up with whilst listening to ‘You and Me’ by the Plain White T's.

You and me, we like the same kind of music,
That's why we, make a good you and me.
We got style, baby we know how to use it,
That's why we, make a good you and me.

You know what I'm going to say,
before my mouth even makes a sound,
And that's why we make a good you and me.

You and me, we couldn't stand being normal,
That's why we, make a good you and me.
We both laugh, at the most random situations,
That's the key, baby don't you agree?

'You and Me' - Plain White T's


It’s the summertime after their sixth year, and a group of friends who happen to live nearby each other are looking forward to spending everyday out in the sunshine, waiting until they can return to Hogwarts. They’re a bit of a mixed group, but they like it that way, and everyone knows that they are going to stay friends forever.

At least, that’s what they all think.

Although the groups a rather big one, there is only two couples amongst it, which surprises outsiders. It’s not that some of the other students don’t like each other, it’s that they aren’t brave enough to say, or scared it’ll ruin their friendship.

Everyone has that best friend of the other gender, but although James' been with Annie for two years now, it’s obvious to everyone that Leigh has fallen head over heels in love with him. Obvious to everyone except James, who’s still only see’s her in a friend way, although they’ve been inseparable since first year.

Shannon has been with Reece for a while too, but not for nearly as long as James and Annie. They seem close, but no one thinks it’s going to last; they’re complete opposites, Shannon, for want of a better word, is rather ‘Nerdy’ and Reece is an average ‘Jock’. He’s gorgeous, and he knows it. With the rest of the girls after him, will Shannon be able to hold on ‘till the end of Summer?

That’s it really. A long summer, all about each friend finding ‘the One’. Will the two already cemented relationships stick it out, or will James fall for Leigh, and Reece dump Shannon? Will the rest of the group find love, or will they go back to Hogwarts as alone as they where when they left it? With the friends still be as close, or will they all fall out? It’s all up to us as RPer’s!

My Bio's;
SPOILER!!: Brooke




Brooke Edwardson


Nickname/s: Brookie, Brookes, Ed, etc.
Age: 17
Birthday: 3rd July
Year: Going into 7th
Heratige: Pureblood
House: Slytherin
Best Subject: Potions
Worst Subject: Ancient Runes

Appearance:
Hair: Blonde.
Eyes: Brown.
Height: 5’5”
Build: Slight.

Family and Background:
Father: Blaise Edwardson
Mother: Charlotte Edwardson
Siblings: Jennifer Edwardson (12), Avery Bane (21)

Brookes parents were both of magical heritage, although her dad was a half-blood. Her parents deny this, and encourage Brooke to only make friends of pureblood Heritage. However, Brooke doesn’t understand the prejudice, and is somewhat ‘on-the-edge‘. Should she make friends with people despite teir background, or follow traditions because that’s how she grew up? In her first year, she decided to go with the former, and has made some great friends due to it. Although her parents are a little disappointed, they realise she is a very head strong girl who will do what she wants and have grown to love her despite this fact.

Personality: Brooke is extremely headstrong; when she wants to do something, she’ll go for it and nothing or no one can stop her. When she starts something, it must be finished, and she is dedicated and hardworking. True to a Snake, at times she can become devilish, and her ambition is beyond that of many people her age. But, overall, she is kind and sensitive, and a great friend to anyone. Brooke likes shopping, make-up and boys, the same as any other teenage girl, and enjoys spending time with her friends.


SPOILER!!: James




James Oliver Cross


Nickname/s: Jay, Jamie, etc.
Age: 17
Year: 7th
Heratige: Half Blood
House: Gryffindor
Best Subject: Flying
Worst Subject: Herbology

Appearance:
Hair: Longish, dark brown.
Eyes:
Height: 5’10”
Build: Strong, sporty.

Family and Background:
Father: Paul Cross
Mother: Jacqueline Cross [deceased]
Siblings: None

Paul Cross is a professional Quidditch player; champion Chaser for none other than the England Team, whom he has seen through some of it’s finest matches. People would believe that that is who James gets his talent from. It is true that he’s a talented flier, but his history with his dad would have him deny that fact, and he claims to hate the sport. The history between James and Paul is due to the fact that James thinks that his father killed his mother whilst he was only young. James and his mother had been close, and although her death had been an accident at the hands of her husband, he resents his father for it, and is always the first to clam up when it comes to talking about families and homes.

Personality: Being a Gryffindor, James is bold and brave by trait, but he gets into trouble easily. He is good at most subjects except Herbology, and exels in Flying. His love of playing the clown can get him into sticky situations, however he doesn't care and believes that rules are made to be broken, which he seeks to do on every possible occasion. Despite his love of clowning, James can change mood’s in an instand, without warning. He tends to opt for ‘surly’ and ‘moody’ and often it’s because he is deep in thought, but it is mainly because of the way he has grown up. However, he loves being around his friends, they bring out the best in him, make him forget about home, and generally cheer him up. He resents the fact that he is a very talented flier, and claims that he hates Quidditch, when, in truth he loves the game. Also, he loves girls, and being around them, but his mysterious and moody manor can either turn them away or atract them. Any girl he has ever been with has gotten annoyed by his mood changes, and their relationships have been short term. However, he is really happy at his current relationship status, and is blissfully unaware of Leigh‘s love of him.

Andre was looking a bit happier now and more when he pulled out his pocket notebook, writing lyrics. "A song should do, right?"

She giggled again at the thought of Brookles with spiky hair and smiled to herself at that picture. How SILLY!!! hehe. MaaaAan, pictures in your head were hilarious at rimes. Especially when she could picture Tallan with PIGGYTAILS! mwaha.

"Tally you know NOTHING about women!" she stuck her tongue out at him and laughed.

And this time she was; Tallan was good looking, and Texas very pretty - so they both won. Blushing at the unxpected comment, Brookie pushed her fly away hair over her shoulder. "I'm not," she denied. And she wasn't, 'specially next to Texxy and the other girls. She began to spin on her swing again, in an attempt to avoid other compliments. She got sooo self-concious.

They must've looked stupid to onlookers, she couldn't help but think. Her and Tall, two seventeen year old kids spinning 'round on the swings. But she didn't care.

"I wasn't going to," she laughed, tugging at the ends of her pony tail. Hmm, of course she wouldn't get it spiky, it would be weird. Reaaallly weird. "Uh, thanks Tall," Brooke added, blushing again and continuing to spin. Yeah, she didn't like compliments at all.

Red crept into James' cheeks. Annie must think him terrible, for leaving his arm around Leigh's shoulders after dropping her hand. He looked at her apologeticly, and then nodded. "Sure you can," he said, making a mental note of the mint ice cream. He smiled softly at the two girls then went to turn around and make his way to the counter. Before he could leave, he felt a hand on his arm, and turned back to Leigh.

"I'm paying," he said, waving the muggle money away. James didn't know why, but even saying that to Leigh brought a blush to his cheeks, and he fought to keep it at bay until he had walked off to the counter.


"It is awsome," she agreed, admiring Texas' hair. Texas was so pretty, and lucky too. She could always have nice clothes, and hairstyles, but Brooke just couldn't. She looked stupid most of the time, and any nice style like Texxy's just didn't suit her. Mehh. "I'm not Texxy, don't lie," Brooke pleaded. She was never one of the prettiest people Texas knew. Not with every other girl in Hogwarts around them.

Brooke was still spinning when Andre joined them, and couldn't really catch what he started to quizz Tallan about. But she laughed at what Texas said, and guessed it was some girl problem or other.


A...song? That was original - Tallan had never thought of that. "Yeah, sure, do that!" Bahaha. Tal now had a feeling of accomplishment; he really felt like he had helped Andre think of that idea, even though he'd never thought of it himself.

"I bet you'd do a great job." he decided, nodding.

He sighed when Brooke started being all 'no I'm not pretty' and stuff. "Brooke." he said seriously, turning fully to look at her. "I don't lie about prettiness of girls. If I say you're pretty, you're pretty. End of story." Well, it was true! Tal didn't tell a girl she was pretty unless he meant it. So HA. He won.

"What are talking about, Tex?" he asked, acting shocked. "I do TOO know about girls!" At least he should, considering how many he'd dated... Ahem. Anyway. "And I give great advice, too. I'm gonna be a muggle Talk Show Host." So there.


Ughh. Why did that look James gave Annie bother Leigh so much? It shouldn't. But it did. Ughh again. Leigh glanced at Annie, then at James as he declined her money. For some weird reason, instead of arguing and pushing the money into James' mouth or something like she normally would, Leigh just put it back in her pocket wordlessly.

She watched James as he walked to the counter, and then she stood up and followed him. She had no clue what she was planning on doing, but she was going to do something. She walked right up behind him, not looking back at the table to see if anyone was watching her. "Hey, James?" she asked, stepping to his side. "I - er, can we talk? Outside? I mean, after you get the ice cream?" EEK! What did she - oh. Now she knew what she was going to talk about. And she'd do it, too! She could be brave, right? ... As long as James agreed to talk to her. Maybe he wouldn't, since he's so worried about spending more time with her than he spends with Annie. *eye roll*

So to Brooke it seemed that Tallan and Andre were talking about girls. As she inclined her ear a little towards their conversation, and giggled at the mention of song-writing. That was so sweet and romantic! Not wanting to interrupt, she swung away on the swing, now swinging normally.

Looking directly into Tall's eyes, Brooke couldn't tell if he was lying, and instead rolled her eyes over exaggeratedly in an effort to stop blushing. "What ever you say Tally!" she forced a laugh and swung higher. Mehh, so Tallan was convinced that he always told the truth? Well, he must be blind then. Although she didn't say it out loud, because then he probably wouldn't ever talk to her again. Pout.

... Huh? "Um... Tall? What's a Talk Show?" Brooke asked uncertainly, showing her oblivion to the Muggle World. Sometimes she felt so out of it; damn having two extremely Pureblood Slytherin parents.

Covering his confused look by quickly turning away from the table, James wondered for about the one millionth time that day what had gotten into Leigh. He'd been expecting a weak protest at the least, yet more looking forward to the comical confrontation that would have come from such a small gesture. Walking wordlessly to the counter, he shook the thought away. He was reading wayyyy to far into it.

"Umm, one mint, and two chocolate," he said softly to the woman serving at the counter, leaning onto the wooden surface as she moved away to start preparing the ice creams. Turning slightly at the sound of footsteps, James grinned broadly as his best friend joined him. "Leigh?" he asked, raising one eyebrow as his grin faltered. She seemed a little out of it, and he was surprised by her request. Not that he was going to deny it. They were best friends, he once again reminded himself; she could want to talk about anything.

But that didn't explain the feeling that she had a problem with him.

"Erm sure," he muttered, accepting the ice cream from the woman and shoving a Muggle note at her. Wordlessly he handed Leigh one of the chocolates, and then motioned with his head to Annie. "I'll just be a minute," he said, before gesturing for her to go outside.

Smiling as he joined Annie, James blushed as he gave her ice cream,. for no apparent reason. "I'll be back in a sec, 'kay?" he said, and without waiting for an answer swung out of the door to the parlour.

What on earth did Leigh want to talk about?

Tallan sighed at Brooke's response as he walked back to the swings and sat down on the one he was on before. He felt like arguing, but he knew it would do no good. Brooke was stubborn, and if she didn't want to listen to him... well, she'd listen to him eventually. Somehow - he didn't know how, yet.

"A talk show?" At this, Tal sat up straight on his swing, trying to look important. "It's where you're all famous, and people come onto your show - famous people - and you talk to them and stuff. Sometimes, you give advice to people." That explained it, right?


Ohh, Merlin. She shouldn't have done this. She should've just let James be all lovey-dovey with Annie, and she should've sucked it up and taken it like a woman. But noooo. She was Leigh. Which meant she didn't always do what she thought she should do.

She smiled quickly to James before walking out the door when he told her he'd be just a minute. She sat down on a bench outside the parlor, slowly licking her ice cream. She expected him to be a while, so when he walked out after just a short moment, she was sort of suprised. "Hey!" she said cheerfully, scooting over to one side of the bench. "Have a seat." There. Now, as long as she could stay cheerful, maybe James would actually want to stay and talk for a little bit.

"So, how are you and Annie doing?" That... wasn't the question she'd been planning on asking, but... well, she could build up to the main point of this little conversation. Besides, she was curious, anyway.

From her perch on the swing, Brooke looked expectantly at Tallan for his explanation of a 'talk show'. Blaming her parents for her lack of Muggle knowledge, the thought of it actually interested her. But... well, it sounded dull. For want of a better word. Her expectant grin fell, and she raised an eyebrow.

"But Tally, that's silly," she managed. "Why would you want to do that? I mean, who wants to listen to loads of randomers problems? And what if your advice was rubbish? And then they would come back and do that thing... where they get money off you for being rubbish. Eh, I don't know." Why on earth would he want to do it anyway? He was a good wizard.

Smiling down at Leigh as he appeared outside, James raised his matching ice cream to his lips and licked at it. Mmmm, chocolate. Of course, he'd know it was Leighs favourite since their first year, and for some reason he'd taken a liking to it too. Half of him still wondered what Leigh wanted, if he'd done something wrong, but the other half, the stronger half thought that maybe she just wanted to talk, as best friends. Of course, she knew she could come to him with anything. They were that close.

"Hallo," he laughed, sitting down next to her as she scooted along the bench. See? She was happy, cheerful! James calmed his fears that she had a problem with him, because if she did then she wouldn't bee this happy around him, would she?

How were he and Annie? That was a question he hadn't been expecting, but he blushed that the thought of speaking about his girlfriend. Annie and him had been together a long time now, nearly two years, and she was his first proper girlfriend. Childish as he was, James still blushed at the thought of intimate thing like that, and remembered how he'd had a crush on Leigh when they'd first met, all of those years ago.

Pushing those thoughts away, as they were neither here nor there, with no relevance to the question, James thought about his answer. "We're good, yeah," he said, half-smiling at Leigh. "I was thinking about introducing her to my dad this summer... I mean, we've been together a long time, and I met hers last year. But then again, you know..." he trailed off. Leigh was the only person who knew how much he hated his father, although she didn't know the reason behind it. The reason why he was unsure about introducing Annie to him.

There was something else as well, that was stopping him. But James couldn't put his finger on it, so he shrugged it away. Stupid thoughs.

Tal's eyes got all big at Brooke's response to his explanation. He'd never thought of those parts of the job. But wouldn't it be cool to be famous, anyway? He frowned, slumping down in his swing. The sad thing was that no wizarding jobs really appealed to him, besides professional quidditch. But could he do that?

"What do you want to do? For a job?" He asked curiously, spinning his swing so that he was facing Brooke.


Leigh licked her ice cream thoughtfully as she analized James' face. He seemed happy, now. Or at least happier than he had been earlier. A smile came to her face when she saw that he had the same flavor of ice cream she did. She had always loved chocolate, and she figured that since she and James had been friends for so long, he must've picked up a taste for it too. That was sort of awesome!

A small laugh fell through her lips as he started blushing. She didn't even care that he was blushing because he was thinking of his girlfriend. Maybe she'd just missed being with him, and talking to him just as friends. Maybe she shouldn't even ask what she'd been planning on asking... but no, now she was curious. She'd ask, but she'd draw it out, so that she could spend some time with him.

She nodded her head slowly as he talked. She knew that James wasn't exactly close to his dad, so she could understand his hesitation to bring Annie home to meet him. But the thing was, she didn't have any advice to give him. She'd never had a long term boyfriend, so she'd never had to have a boyfriend meet her parents. "I think..." Meh. "I don't know what advice to give you about that." she told him honestly, laughing shortly. "Um, you'll figure it out?" Yep, that surely helped. She gave James a sly smile, to show she was sort of joking.

Oh dear. Noticing Tallans frown, Brook realised she's probably just killed his dreams. Mentally poking herself, she attempted a 'Cheer Up' smile in her friends direction. "I mean, isn't there anything else you want to do? In the Wizarding World, even?" she asked quickly, her words tumbling over each other in an effort to make him feel better. Surely there had to be something, right?

"Me? Uh, I've never really thought about it," Brooke admitted thoughtfully. "I guess, uh... I'd like to be a Healer, or a Transfiguration Professor," she managed with a shrug, blushing a little, at ambitions that were far out of her reach.

Smiling, and trying to control his blush as Leigh laughed, James realised that part of it was the memory of her; of liking her, of thinking of her, of wanting to be with her like he was with Annie. Of the way he'd kinda thought he loved he at one point. As his blush deepened further, he pushed the thoughts away again, once more. No! He was with Annie. He loved Annie... didn't he?

In an effort to stop his train of thought, James poked Leigh in the ribs as she continued to laugh. "Oi, you. Stop it," he said, emitting a chuckle himself.

Listening to Leigh, James put a hand behind his head and leant backwards, so his neck was over the back of the bench. Sitting up again, he sighed. "I know, I guess I will just figure it out. Maybe I'll leave it. He's the one keeping me from complete happiness, why should I let his meet Annie, just so he can walk all over her?" Catching Leighs sly grinned, he chuckled again.

Tallan was quiet for a moment as he thought about Brooke's question. What was there to do in the Wizarding World? Well, a lot, he guessed. But nothing he could think of seemed particularly appealing. "It'd be cool to be a quidditch player," he decided with a shrug. Anything else he thought of was boring; professor, working at the ministry, stuff like that. "Maybe an auror, too." he added as an afterthought.

He nodded at Brooke's answer. He hadn't thought about being a Healer. But, well, he just didn't seem like the healer type. O_o "I guess we've got a year to figure it all out, eh?" And surely they weren't the only ones that didn't know what they were gonna do for a living.


Leigh's laugh got happier when James poked her. Bahaha. He was blushing again! He was very blushy all of the sudden; Leigh wondered what he was thinking to make him blush like that. She watched him, smiling slightly, as he talked, trying to read his expressions and figure out his thoughts. Usually, she was pretty good at doing that with James. But for some reason, she couldn't now.

Now, Leigh had met James' dad before; a few times. But she'd never spent a lot of time around him, though, mostly - she assumed - because of James' feelings toward him. So, she didn't know how he would act towards one of James' friends, let alone one of his girlfriends. "Maybe you should just leave it." Leigh agreed, frowning slightly.

"So..." she began, suddenly really interested in her ice cream, "You and Annie are really close, huh?" She tried very, very hard to keep her voice light and happy - hopefully James wouldn't notice the slightly sad/hopeful tone.

A Quidditch Player, huh? Brooke smiled to herself, picturing Tallan riding around the World Cup Stadium super-fast on a Firebolt, or some broom like that. She could totally see him as some famous player, for the England team or something like that! "You'd suit that," she said with a laugh. She wasn't sure why he would, she could just see it. "An Auror would be cool to, though," she admitted, biting her lip. Oh gosh, so many things to think about!

A year. That should be long enough. "Yerp. ANNND it all depends on what grades we get in out N.E.W.T.'s, doesn't it?" she said, he smile fading the thought of the daunting amount of work that lay ahead of them filled her head.

Pushing the blush further inside him, James hoped that Leighs magical powers of reading him weren't at their peek today. If she knew what he was thinking, their friendship would be ruined. Just like that. He'd never be able to look her in the eye again, not after her laughing in his face. Because that was exactly what she would do, he could see it now. Giving himself a moment for his skin to return to its normal, pale colour, James let a rather goofy grin fill his face, and made the thoughts vanish.

"Sounds like a good idea," James agreed with a laugh, when Leigh said he should leave introducing Annie to his dad. Of course, being his best friend and all, Leigh had met James' dad a couple of times before, but James' realised she'd never spent enough time around him to feel the loathing between the two of them; seriously, sometimes, James' almost felt he could touch it. The thought mad his grin slip from his face, and he drew his hands together as a frown deeper than Leigh's crossed his brow.

Being as unobservant as he was, James didn't notice Leigh becoming suddenly interested in her ice cream, and he barely noticed the change in her tone of voice. If he'd been as happy as was a few seconds ago, he would've been tickling her until she gave up, and told him what was wrong. But having mood swings worse than a pregnant woman, James' was absorbed in himself right them, selfish as it was. "Yeah, close as a boyfriend and girlfriend can get, I guess," he shrugged, but he was getting confused as to why Leigh was asking so many questions about him and Annie.

"Yeah... but why are you so interest all of a sudden? And why're we out here? We could've spoken about this with the others, you know..."

Tal's smile came back to his face when Brooke told him he'd be good as a quidditch player. He got a brief mental picture of himself, all famous-y and in quidditch robes, signing autographs and having his picture taken, and then zooming around a giant quidditch pitch in the midst of millions of screaming fans. His smile turned into a grin. "Thanks," he said cheerfully. He just nodded in reply to her next statement; quidditch player seemed way cooler than auror, now that he tought about it.

Oh, but then she brought up NEWTs. His smile faded a bit. Sure, he was a good student, but he definitely wasn't the best. "Maybe I'll just drive the Knight Bus." he concluded, only slightly joking.


Leigh only got to enjoy James' grin for a second before she looked away again as he answered her question. She opened her mouth to reply - not knowing what she was going to say - but then he asked a question of his own. Her eyes widened as she stared determinedly at her ice cream. Looking for more time to try to think of a suitable answer, she went to her ice cream again. Besides, it really was melting, and she didn't want that to happen.

But she couldn't wait too long before answering, or James was sure to get suspicious. Meh. So, what was she going to say?

"Well, I know that we could've stayed in there." she said finally, still looking down. "But I wasn't just going to ask about you and Annie. And, um, asking you to come out here in the middle of a conversation would've looked weird." Oh yeah, that was such a good answer.

"I had another question. But you know what, it's fine - I don't want to know the answer anymore." Now, she looked up at him, a small smile on her face. "Let's just go inside, 'kay?" She hoped that he'd just agree to go inside, so she wouldn't have to ask the question she was dying to ask. But a small part of her wanted him to argue, to stay out here and make her ask her question. Ugh. She was confused.

Yeah, Brooke could totally picture Tally as a Quidditch player; all cool, in his special robes. AND he could get her tickets to matches, and let her meet all the famous people. Because they were friends, so he’d have to. Teehee.

But why would he want to ride the Knight Bus?! “No. You can’t drive the Knight Bus!” Brooke said fiercely, thinking that he was deadly serious about taking such a job. “You’re going to be a Quidditch player. I’ve decided. AND you don’t even need to worry about N.E.W.T’s. S’long as you can fly, and you play Quidditch, then you’re in. Oh... if you’re good at it, I mean. What position do you play?” she said, all of it in one breath, really quickly. However, there wasn’t a doubt that Tallan would fail. He was gonna pass, of course. He was Tallan.

Why did she keep looking away? That was one thing that James couldn’t figure out right then. Usually, he would’ve know in a second what was up with Leigh, having known her for nearly seven years, and them being best friends and all. But today... today was different – she was hiding things better than usual, and he couldn’t read her face if she was looking in the opposite direction, could he?
And why wasn’t she answering his question? Did she have something to hide?

“Leigh, wha-” he opened his mouth to speak, but before James could even really get the first word out she was answering him.

So, why hadn’t they stayed inside? And why wasn’t she looking at him, why was she looking down instead? Did she have something to hide? Ah, she was going to ask him something else, eh? Shifting closer to Leigh, he pulled at her arm as she went to stand up. “No, what was it?” he asked. He was curious now, extremely so. What question could make Leigh want to bring him out here? What couldn’t she ask in front of Annie? “C’mon Leigh! You have to tell me now.” he pleaded, still with his hand on her arm.

Tallan's eyes widened at Brooke's fierceness. Huh. "Quidditch player it is, then." he said with a small chuckle. She had a point, though. As long as he was a great player, then he really could become professional, even if he didn't have the best grades. Huh. "I play Keeper." he told her with a nod. And yeah, he was thought that he was pretty good. Gryffindor had one a lot of quidditch cups while he was on the team. Yes, that wasn't just because of him, but he helped, right?

"What about you?" he asked again, "Wanna be my manager?" He was totally joking, of course.


Brooke, when James grabbed onto her arm, plopped back down onto the bench next to him. She pulled one leg up, so that she was sitting sideways on the bench, facing James.

Who was suddenly a lot closer to her than he had been before she'd gotten up.

She stared at him for a long moment, debating how whether or not to tell him what she was really thinking. He was her best friend - all throughout her Hogwarts years, he'd been the one she would go to, the one that she'd tell everything. So then, it was settled; she'd tell him. But how would she say it?

She looked down at her ice cream again, quickly, before looking back at James. She'd look in his eyes as she told him, so that hopefully she'd be able to see any emotion in them, as his response. "What would you say..." she said slowly, fighting the urge to look away again, "If I said..." *gulp* Merlin. Now, she couldn't stop. She had to finish her question - no matter what. She just hoped that James wouldn't run away from her screaming. "That... I, um." Hmm. How did she feel about him, really?

"Really, really like you." she concluded. She crossed her fingers, hoping that he'd understand that by 'really, really,' she meant more than a friend. More than a best friend, too.

Yay! Now Tallan was settled on being a Quidditch play and was not going to drive the Knight Bus, Brooke was happy. Silly boy, to even thing such a thing. "Keeper, huh? That's the guy in front of the big hoop things, right?" she asked puzzledly, a frown creasing her forehead. She didn't really get Quidditch, and the few matches she'd watched she;d payed more attention to the little gold ball, what was it called, the Snitch? than to the players and their possitions on the pitch. The most she knew was thet Gryffindor won a lot, and she was keen to voice this though. "You won the Cup, didn't you?" she said, although she wasn't sure when. Last year? The year before?

"Manager? Uh- I don't know Tall... I don't exactly get Quidditch," Brooke muttered almost mornfully, before she realised he was joking. Then she laughed. Silly Tally.


James was just glad that Leigh had sat back down; if she'd walked away, he'd be forever questioning what she had wanted to say, and it would have infuriated him. All he noticed was that they were now facing eachother on the bench, and that they were just a little closer than they had been before.

Well, maybe just a lot closer, although it wasn't bothering him. He didn't pause to think how Annie would see it if she walked out: him and Leigh were just friends, they could sit less than a rulers length apart if they wanted to.

After a long silence (or so it seemed to Jay, maybe it had been no more that a few seconds) Leigh hadn't said anything, and he went to open his mouth, to encourage her ask her what was wrong. She could tell him, surely; what did she think he was going to do, laugh in her face?

It was when she looked down at her ice cream again that he opened his mouth, but he'd barely formed the first word when she was looking up again. Locking eyes with her, James listened as she began to stutter out her problem, waiting for whatever blow was about to fall.

She liked him? Well, of course she did, otherwise they wouldn't be friends. Laughing slightle bemusedly, he swung an arm around her shoulders and squeezed her. "Well, of course y'do Leigh. We're best friends. I really like you too," he said, rolling his eyes: as though she needed to tell him, especially outside, and with a big build up!

He never even contemplated the fact that she meant really, really. As in more than a friend.

Tallan smiled at her question; a smile that soon turned into a laugh. Clearly, Brooke knew next-to-nothing about Quidditch. Well, at least she had an idea as to what the Keeper was. "Yes, that'd be me," he told her with a nod, "The guy in front of the big hoop things. I keep the quaffle - the big red ball - from going in. That would mean the other team scored." He was having a hard time keeping a smirk off of his face as he explained this. He hardly ever had to explain Quidditch to people.

When she asked about the Quidditch Cup, he nodded. "Yeah, a few times." he said, his voice quieter. He was quiet for a second, thinking. Weird; Brooke actually had him thinking about this!

He laughed again when she said she didn't 'get' Quidditch. He was about to say he was joking, when she started laughing. She had probably just realized that he had been joking. He just winked at her, chuckling. She was awesome; funny, too.


Leigh blinked. Wha-? Oh, of course. James hadn't realized what she'd meant, and how much courage it had taken her to actually say that she liked him. Some times, he could be so thick! When he hugged her, she frowned. He was laughing and rolling his eyes. Nice.

"Yeah, of course I do. Best friends. Of course you do." She muttered, ducking out of his hug. For some reason, she didn't want him to hug her right now. She forced a smile onto her face when she looked back at James. "Let's go inside, Jamie." She suggested, her attempt at cheerfullness failing epically. She had no idea what he was thinking, but it was probably along the lines of how she was crazy for wanting him to come outside just so she could tell him that she was his best friend. Which, for the record, was not why she wanted to talk to him alone. But she should've expected that James would've taken her 'really, really' as a best friend type of really, really.

Oh, look. And now, her ice cream was melted. Lovely.

"Stop laughing," Brooke said, poking Tallan in the side. She was laughing herself, though; well, giggling rather. But she doubted Tallan ever had to explain Quidditch to anyone. "Guess I'm a bit of a useless Pureblood," she admitted, shaking her head to herself - anyone who didn't know her would probably think she was a first year Muggle-born.

Hmm, so big red ball through the hoops meant you scored? That sounded logical. "I think I prefer watching it, and just cheering when everyone else cheers." she said with a rather guilty grin. Yup, even if she was cheering for the wrong team, which she had done many a time.

That was something you didn't see everyday; Tallan, quiet! Prodding him on the shoulder again, Brooke poked him repeatedly. "How many's a few?" she asked; all she knew was they'd won it more times than Slytherin.

Winking back at him, Brooke joined in his laughing. Ah, Tallan was awesome.

Still looking at the top of her head, James didn't see Leigh frowning at his reaction to what she had said. If he had, maybe he would have apologised, or asked what was up, for the onemillionth time. But he didn't, and so he continued to chuckle to himself.

But when she ducked away from him, and her voice sounded sulky, James' laugh faltered and a frown appeared on his own face. When Leigh turned back towards him, her smile was almost definately forced; he could tell, he'd known her for so long. "Inside?" he asked quizzically. "But I thought you had something really important to tell me?" This was confusing; why did she want him to go back inside, when she obviously still wanted to tell him something. Because, of course, that she liked him couldn't be it. He knew that she did, as he'd said; Best Friends since first year.

Unless...

Looking down at his ice cream (which was almost gone, thet last bits melting away) realisation dawned on him. His eyes flitted between Leighs ice cream and her face, and he caught her arm as she went to go back inside.

"Say it again."

Being told to stop laughing, and being poked in the ribs, only made Tal laugh harder. He couldn't help it; he was ticklish there! And Brooke made him laugh. It wasn't his fault. At her comment though, Tal shook his head. "No, not a useless Pureblood," he disagreed, smirking. "You'd just be a lousy Quidditch player." He was willing to bet that Brooke wasn't the only going-on-seventh year girl who didn't know the works of Quidditch.

"Well, we need cheerleaders." he told her, chuckling again. Then, he realized that she was in Slytherin, and she'd've been cheering for the Slytherin team, and not him. He was quiet for a second, thinking, then he said, "If you just cheer when everyone else cheers, you don't really cheer for just one team, do you?" Correct me if I'm wrong.

"Stop poking me," Tal said, laughing again, as Brooke suddenly went on a poking spree. He swung away from her on his swing, smirking at her when he was out of her reach. When she asked her question, Tal started counting in his head, then brought up his hand and started using that to count instead. "Let's see... I've been playing for 5 years. Second through sixth. And we won.. Four? of those years. I think. Maybe three." he shrugged noncholantly, although really he was quite proud of those statistics.


Her mouth fell open when he kept her from going inside, again. Yes, she did need to tell him something important. She needed to tell him to think about what she'd just told him; to really think about it. Then, maybe he'd get it.

But, for some reason, she just couldn't form the words. Maybe James had been deliberately avoiding the obviousness of this situation. He was happy with Annie, and he probably wanted to stay like that, with no interferance from his best friend who had a crazy crush on him. She should just leave it alone and move on and stop thinking about him in that way.

Easier said than done. When he grabbed her arm, again, she sighed. He was stubborn, wasn't he? She opened her mouth to protest, when he spoke. Say it again. After a brief moment of shock, and a few hurried blinks, she leaned sideways against the back of the bench and folded her arms.

"Say what again?" she asked, her voice sounding a bit harsh. She didn't know where the sudden annoyance toward James had come from, but she pushed it away quickly when she noticed the look on his face. Realization? "I like you." she said slowly and clearly. Hearing her mistake, she corrected herself. "I really, really like you." She surprise herself by her tone; it was level, and very matter-of-fact. Almost like she'd given up on even caring what James was going to say to her.

Now Tal was laughing harder. The opposite of the reaction Brookes wanted, the exacted opposite. So she poked him some more, stretching to poke him in the middle of the stomach. It was hard on the swings, but she managed to. And then she started spinning around again, twisting the chains together. Not a useless Pureblood? "I suppoe I would be pretty rubbish. But most Purebloods know everything about Quidditch, right?" Which was why she was odd. But there was nothing wrong with being different.

"Cheerleaders?" Brook stopped twisting and wrinkled her nose in disgust. "I don't fancy risking my neck to climb on top of someone, thank you very much." She shuddered. No, she was not risking death to show support for someone anytime soon; cheering from the stands still sounded good.

"Cheer for one team? Nope, why d'you think that our team hates me?" she grinned. Cheering for one team was rooobish; she had friends from all of the other houses, and even friends on their teams, like Tally. She tried to poke him again, but her lunge missed as he swung out of reach, and she suddenly started spinning.

Stopping rather dizzily, Brooke couldn't focus on the blur that was Tallans fingers. "Well done," she giggled, standing up to steady herself on the side of the swing set.


Jay was not going to let go of Leighs arm, no matter how many esasperated looks she pulled or gave him. She was telling him why she had dragged him out here and then he'd let go. And then they could go inside, and get back to being best mates like before.

A confused expression taking residence on his face, James let go of Leigh as she folded her arms. Okay, so when he'd said he wouldn't let go until she told him what was going on, he'd been wrong. But at least he had kept her here, outside, waiting to tell him what was going on.

Although it was dawning on him, he didn't quite no what he was realising. That's why he'd asked her to say it again. All he knew was that he felt weird right then, like he knew something he shouldn't. It was nagging at the back of his brain, yet he couldn't figure it out. What on earth did she mean?

"What d'you think?" he said; When her voice turned harsh, he was immediately defensive. What the hell had he done now? She knew he was touchy when people were harsh to him, that he'd lash out. But he wouldn't, not to her anyway. Not to Leigh. When she said it, he eventually knew what ha meant, and he leant forward...

and kissed her.

"You, my friend," Tal started, raising his eyebrows, "Are about this close to getting poked back." Okay, so that wasn't exactly the best threat in the world. But Brooke was TICKLING him and she deserved some poking back. SO. Tal was ready. He shrugged, though, at her question. "Not necesarily. You know, like some muggles have no idea about any muggle sports. It just depends on your interest." Bahaha. He sounded smart. He liked sounding smart.

"Oh no no no. I didn't mean cheerleader..." he said, shaking his head, "I meant, ya know, a person that cheers. That's all." Although now, he could totally picture Brooke as a cheerleader. Bahaha. Of course, he didn't say this outloud. Because Brookie was surely, really, not the cheerleading type.

He grinned at her answer. "So you cheer for me, right? Even though, before today, you had no clue what position I play?" He lifted his feet off the ground, so that he started swinging. "And thanks!" he added, laughing lightly when she started spinning, instead of poking.


Leigh bit her lip, immediately feeling back about her harsh tone. She knew how James acted toward things like that - and she should've been more careful. It wasn't really his fault that she was so confused and mixed up. She knew that he wouldn't have taken his confusion out on her. She'd just be more careful.

She watched his face closely, wondering what he was going to say to her now. "Look, James, I-"

And then he kissed her.

GASP. She didn't know what to do! Suddenly, James was kissing her. And, well, she kissed him back. Her arms slowly unfolded themselves, and her eyes closed on their own accord, almost as if her body was on auto-pilot. She had no control over anything.

Slowly, she pulled back and took a deep breath, her eyes wide. She was at a loss for words, but her mind was going crazy. He kissed me! He kissed me! I kissed him! He has a GIRLFRIEND! He's my best friend! Oh MERLIN, he KISSED me! He shouldn't have kissed me! But I kissed him back! Oh, Merlin. I loved it! Help!

Poked back? "You wouldn't dare!" Brooke called as he swung higher, only half serious at his awful threat. But that half that was serious was very serious, because she was ticklish, probably more so than Tallan was, and she would not be seen withering on the ground laughing any time soon.

"Yeah, I s'pose," she shrugged at Tallans reasoning. "The only sport I actually know anything about is swimming." And that was true; Brooke liked swimming, because it was fun! And easy, if she said so herself. And water. And she could splash people. WEHEY!.

Person that cheers? Oh, well Brookie could do that. She laughed, and began twisting on the swing again. "I can cheer. I can cheer LOUUUUDLYYYY." she finished, startling birds in a far off tree and causing them to take flight. Yeah, she could soo totally cheer.

"Cheer for you? Of course. I just cheered for your whole team, hoping one of them would be you," she grinned up at him. She could never see who was who on those brooms; everyone flew around too quickly, even the guy in front of the hoops. "My pleasure!" Wink.

He kissed her.

She's my best friend. I shou - Annie. Oh bloody hell, what have I done? Merlin, why? How could I be so stupid?! I have a girlfriend, and Leigh - Oh, I shouldn't have done that.

Don't say you didn't enjoy it... A sly voice in his ear whispered, and James franticly shook his head to rid himself of the dastardly thoughts. What on earth had he been thinking? His mind was running on overtime and he breathing was sharp and quick. He still couldn't believe he'd had the courage, the stupidity to do such a thing.

"Oh crap," he began, directing his words at no one and muttering swearwords under his breath. He took a few deep breaths to calm himself and then, looking at a loss for words, James turned back to Leigh. "I'm sorry. Crap, I'm so sorry. Tell - tell Annie I'll see her later."

And with that, he turned quickly and jogged away from Leigh.

Anni waited patiently at the table, eating her ice cream slowly as it began to melt and drip down the spoon handle to her arm.
'Shoot' she muttered, and was about to turn to James and ask for a napkin when she remembered he'd gone outside with Leigh. He'd been out there for a while now... curious, she went to the window and looked out wondering if he'd be there. An-oh. Oh. Oh. He was there alright... and he was kissing Leigh. Her boyfriend kissing her friend. And then he pulled away and ran off. Crying now, Annie ran out of the Ice Cream Parlour, past Leigh and overtaking James in the street. She just wanted to go home.

Sardines ♥ // Nomsy, yo

"Oh, I would." Tal assured her, dragging his feet along the ground to slow down his swing. And now, he really felt like doing so, just to see what Brooke's reaction would be. He raised an eyebrow at her, coming to a complete stop on his swing.

"Swimming?" Huh. Was that actually a sport? Tal had no idea. Well, apparently it was. "Do you actually do it competitively?" he wondered out loud. He wasn't really into sports except for Quidditch. And he liked swimming, but you know, just for fun.

Opening his mouth to say something, Tal's words turned into a laugh when Brooke yelled, scaring the birds. "You sure can," he said with a grin. And he'd definitely hear her if she started cheering like that at games. Smiling, he nodded his head when she said she cheered for his whole team. "A Slytherin cheering for Gryffindor. What has this world come to?" he teased, poking her lightly in the ribs when she winked at him.


Leigh just stared at James as he started freaking out. She pressed her lips tightly together, trying to make her face completely unreadable - even for James. The only thing showing any emotion were her eyes, which seemed to be stuck, widened permanently.

When he started saying not-so-nice words, and apologizing, Leigh shook her head over so slightly. He kissed her, and now he was swearing and apologizing? She wasn't that bad of a kisser! At least, her other boyfriends hadn't thought so. Meh. But, she kept her mouth closed and her lips pressed together in a tight line.

And then he brought up Annie. Of course he did - she was his girlfriend. Leigh just half-nodded, knowing that she wouldn't be talking to Annie any time soon. She watched as James ran away from her, doing exactly what she'd feared he would do. Run away. She brought her legs up onto the bench, wrapping her arms around them and holding them to her chest. She watched in silence as Annie ran out of the ice cream place, crying - she'd obviously seen what had just happened. Well, she didn't have to worry about anything. Leigh wasn't going to kiss James again; there'd be no need to.

She sighed deeply, dropping her chin to her knees. Her empty ice cream cone fell to the ground, but she didn't pick it up. Instead, she closed her eyes, trying to decide what to do now that her best friend for life had run away from her, and she didn't know where else to go, or who else to go to.

Slowing down to a walk, James hung his head and concentrated on his footsteps. What had he done? He still couldnt get his head around it, and he felt bad... but he also felt like he'd done something that he had been waiting to do for years. Whihc couldn't be right, could it - he didn't like Leigh, in that sense.

But if he didn't like her, why had his impulse been to kiss her? Too many questions were spinning 'round in his head right now, and he didn't want to think about, so he pushed the thoughts from his mind and heard footsteps pounding behind him, and then over-taking him.

Looking up, James jogged and caught Annie's arm, at a loss to why she was crying. She surely hadn't seen him and Leigh? Noo, she'd been looking the oposite way. But what if she'd turned around? Shaking his head and believing she couldn't have, he held onto her arm so she couldn't run away.

"Annie, what's up? Why're you crying... and running?"


Brooke hopped off the swing when she realised that Tallan's threat was near serious. Fakking a gasp, she danced away from him over the grass. "Only if you catch me-eee!" she sang dramatically, spinning away from him and giggling, adding to her already-dizzyness that she had aquired from twisting on the swing.

Competitively? Paha. That had to be one of the funniest things Brooke had ever heard. Like, ever. "Can you see me winning anything Tal?" she asked, stopping her run so that she could turn and face him, one eybrow raised. But it was serious, she didn't like the whole rivalry teams had against each other, or the victory in winning. "Just for fun. We should go swimming later actually." Because he mum and dad were going out, so they'd have her pool to themselves.

"Well, I'm not exactly Snake material. I think I'd have been much more suited in Hufflepuff: You don't have to be clever, like Ravenclaws, or brave like you Gryffies. You can just be.... you. Loyal and stuff." she nodded. And all of the other stuff that was attributed to the yellow and black Badger house.

Spinning away from his poking finger, she giggled and turned to look at the road. They were still a distance from them, but she could see James and Annie in the distance. "Oy, Tall... What's up with them two. Looks like they're arguing. And... where's Leigh?"

Sardines ♥ // Nomsy, yo

After a minute or two of sitting on the bench, Leigh was fed up. Suddenly, she was mad at James. She had tried more than once to go back into the parlor, to keep herself from saying anything that would mess up anything between them. And it had been James and his curiosity that had kept her there. And now look where James was - Leigh didn't even know.

Why did she even have to like him in the first place?

It was that thought that made Leigh realize: she wasn't mad at James. She was mad at herself, for liking James. All through her Hogwarts years, he'd just been a best friend, and that was all. It wasn't until recently (the last year or two? Once he had gotten a real, long-term girlfriend?) that she'd had feelings for him. Why couldn't she have stayed how she was when she was twelve years old? None of this wouldn't have happened.

Sighing, Leigh stood up. She glanced inside at all of her friends, then down at her hands, which were shaking slightly. She didn't want to go in there and pretend to be happy. But she didn't want to sit there and sulk, either. So, shoving her hands into her pockets, she set off on a walk to... somewhere, she didn't know. But she carefully avoided James and Annie - she didn't want to be part of that.


Now, both of Tallan's eyebrows were arched up. "I can catch you," he told her matter-of-factly. "Easily." And with that, he swung his swing sideways, closer to her, and planted his feet on the ground when he was successfully on her side of the swing set. Then, he poked her on both sides of her stomach. Then he quickly swung back to his side so that she couldn't poke him back.

At her question, Tal had to press his lips together to keep from laughing. No, he could not see her winning at anything. Not that he didn't think she could, if she wanted to, but he just... meh - he couldn't explain it. So he just shook his head, a smirk on his lips. "Ooh, yeah we should!" he agreed with a nod. Because, as stated before, he liked swimming.

"Nah," he disagreed with a shake of his head, "There must be a reason why you were put into Slytherin above any other house." He eyed her carefully, as if her Snakeyness would show itself. "You probably have a very devious mind under all that innocentness." He winked at her, joking. He really couldn't think of a reason why she would be a Slytherin. It wasn't like she was mean or anything.

When she brought up 'them two,' Tal looked over to see who she was talking about. "James and Annie?" he wondered outloud, tipping his head slightly. "Maybe... uh." He looked around the park, as if he'd see Leigh pop up somewhere. She didn't. "Maybe something happened between them."

Annie turned as she felt a hand on her arm, and then tried to get out of the grip as she realised who it was - James. The evil, cheating, two-timing little toe-rag was trying to talk to her. Pig.

Why're you crying?

She couldn't believe he had the nerve to ask that. Like he didn't already know, what with him going outside and snogging Leigh's face off. How long had he been cheating on her, she wondered.
'Let go of me, James' she snapped, wiping away tears with one arm whilst still trying to free the other 'And don't pretend you don't know. I saw you when you took my friend outside - in clear view of the window, by the way - and kissed her.' she said angrily.
