I kid you not, this is one tree you don’t want to mess with. It's best you keep a safe distance from the Whomping Willow's tree limbs or you may end up with a few broken limbs yourself.

He asked moving closer to her, He cuddled close, careful to remember all the spots he knew were bruised.
Minerva sighed a bit "I promise not more tree for at least awhile." She would keep that promise as long as everything was going this nicely. "I know he was just being a friend, but he didn't have to be so mean. I know what I was doing was stupid, but I still didn't like hearing it. He is lucky I didn't have my wand he would have been wearing a dress." she was serious about doing that to him one of these days. She felt him get closer to her and smiled this could not get better then it was right at this moment she thought. "I wish I could tell you no, but yes my arm is still really sore and I have a bit of a headache, but I will be fine." She was not leaving this moment for anything. That tree was not ruining this moment for them..

Maxwell got as close on her side as he could and decided it wasn't enough so he rolled onto his stomach and put an elbow on either side of her leaving his torso suspended over her while the rest of him was still on the grass. "Okay." Was all he sad to all of it. He kissed her forehead to make her head feel better. "Which arm?" He asked so he could make it better too.

Minerva giggled at him as he rolled over and kissed her head. "Well if you must know it's my left arm right above my elbow and my shoulder and they weally, weally, hurt." she said trying to give a pouting look, but was struggling to take the smile off her face. She couldn't believe how comfortable they were even in what was suppose to be a new relationship. It was coming so easy with Maxwell. Maybe it was all they had in common or just the spark she felt between them, but something was different about this relationship there were no butterflies of doing something dumb, or not saying the right thing.

Maxwell smiled. "Well let me make it all better." He said kissing her arm gently and then laughing a little. Being with her was different, he didn't feel stupid or like he might mess something up, he was acting on his impulses like he normally did, it felt so freeing, things should be awkward at this stage but they're not. They felt right. "Better?" He asked looking into her eyes.

Minerva looked at him smiled she nodded to say that it did feel better. She couldn't help look into his eyes and smile. It felt as if everything else had disappeared. "Always helping me, aren't you. People are going to start thinking I'm weak." she grinned knowing she didn't care what others thought of her, she never had before why start now. At that moment all she cared about was what Maxwell thought of her. She then got an idea in her head and her grin turned into an up to something smile. She reached up at him and began tickling his sides not knowing if he was ticklish or not.

Maxwell laughed. "I'm sure no one thinks that of a girl who plays chicken with the willow." He said and then seeing the smile he knew something he wasn't prepared for was coming. He laughed as she tickled him and tried to keep from his arms buckling and him falling on her completely.

Minerva kept tickling him laughing when he slipped and landed on her a small whimper of pain from her lips do to her arm, but she didn't stop tickling him. She wiggle trying to get away, but it was no use. She finally stopped tickling so they both wouldn't hyperventilate from laughing so hard. She didn't want to ruin the moment of fun by being a baby, but she had to get her injured arm loose. "As much fun as this is dear, think you could move off my arm." She tried to smile hoping she wouldn't hurt his feelings. It was her fault after all she started the tickling. She kissed his cheek to show that everything was okay.

Maxwell smiled and nodded freeing her arm. "Sorry if i hurt you." He said with a smile still on his face to show she didn't ruin anything. "That was unexpected." He said happily. "But i guess all of this is...I like unexpected." He said smiling and looking into her eyes. "You have beautiful eyes." He said just speaking his mind. He wasn't afraid of doing such with her.

Minerva felt her arm freed and moved it a bit, "You didn't hurt me, it's just from my dumbness that's all. It will be fine in a few days" hopefully she thought to herself. "It's fun to do the unexpected sometimes don't ya think?" She wasn't just talking about the tickling either. Her mind went to the rest of school all of he sudden. Wondering what Taylor and Damon were going to say or think when they saw them together. She thought about asking him, but he spoke and her thoughts were gone again, "Well I don't think they are anything compared to yours, but thank you. I get them from my Dad. Mom's were hazel."she gave a smile and touched his cheek with her hand.

Maxwell smiled. "I think the unexpected is wonderful." He said not talking about the tickling anymore. Maxwell felt a tingle at her touch on his cheek. "Mine are annoying. But yours they're a beautiful blue and they don't cause trouble or anything...I get mine from my dad too. Mom's are blue."

Minerva gave him a sweet smile as she still was looking at his eyes. "I know there not mine, so I can't say if they are annoying or not, but I can see why they do upset you, but I don't know. I just have always been drawn to them." she blushed admitting that, but it was true, she had taken notice the first time she had spent time with him over the summer. "Don't think of them as trouble, think of them as a gift." Her face was very close to his as she kept looking at them and said quieter "I think they are amazing."

Maxwell blushed. "Well, they do cause trouble but sometimes they make things good too." He liked that she said she was always drawn to them. "Really? Always?" He asked. "Thank you." He said kissing her, when he pulled back his eyes had turned pink.
She was laughing. LOUISA CARTER is LAUGHING. The world must have flipped upside down. She is laughing with him. NOOOOOOOOO!!!! Jonathan still liked it, how he's cracking up a smile and her just laughing. What was wrong with the two of them. It was weird for Jonathan to see them both like this but things really do change. It was always awkward talking with Louisa because she and him have completely different opinions about so many things. Jonathan is very opinionated and stick to his principles firmly and the same goes for Louisa. They both have strong personalities. So right now, agreeing with each other is just different... good different.
If he's got a brain bigger than human guys??? Pfffftttt...
Jonathan looked at Louisa "That just means NO, right?"he said cocking an eyebrow. IF... Whenever there is an IF, it always means NO in a subtle and yet intellectual way. So yeah, nice try Louisa.
He's not that stupid. He still has a brain that is functioning and he would never risk his life over something so stupid. He's like to graduate in one piece and not in detention. Jonathan was just kidding around, he was just wondering what it would feel like to ride the infamous Whomping Willow. It'll be such a rush, wouldn't it be? However, Louisa mentioned the Shrieking Shack "Shrieking Shack?" he repeated. He has read about them, it's pretty famous but Jonathan hasn't exactly been inside of that place. "It'd be nice to see what it looks like" of course he's curious. Most people would be. It was written in books after all. "maybe someday..." he snorted. 'Maybe'? It just means never or 20-30 years from now---which still means kind of never.
SEE?! It's because of the badge. Thank Merlin for that then. Louisa might have not been so nice to him today? Who knows really. They have been friends for quite sometime but they haven't been this too close to each other. Sharing things and laughing, stuff like that. And then she just had to kill it by saying that. Jonathan smirked as he slowly shook his head. "Why would you say that?" he's now starting to snicker. "I'm always nice" to him at least, he thinks he's nice. WAIT! He's rude? No. He beg to differ. "Since when am I rude?" really.... examples of situations would do.
About the breakup, huh? Jonathan hasn't told anyone yet and maybe it has been kept beneath his thick skin for too long already. Maybe he can tell Louisa about it, right? Right. Jonathan shook his head "What do you want to know?" as much as it hurts being told and reliving that painful memory again. It'd be nice to finally have some outlet with it. He took a deep breath. Yes, what does she want to know.
And as for expressing his frustration out he crossed his arms and laid on the grass feeling the wind on his face and seeing the sky turning a bit dark. "I play the piano a lot when I'm upset. I have my own piano room back at home" and NO ONE, yes no one, is allowed to come in especially when he's inside that room. "But Hogwarts has none sooooo... I stick with sketching" which is really bogus, because he's not that much of a sketch person. Music made him more relieved than drawing.
Since when was he rude? Louisa scoffed at this, still lying down on the grass. "Seriously, Jonathan, this isn't a question you ask me." Because the answer was pretty much 'always', not that she really cared if a person was rude to her or not. She'd always be Louisa. When he showed that moment of vulnerability, giving her permission to ask whatever, Louisa rolled to her side and propped herself up on one elbow to look down at her friend. "I just can't wrap my mind around what's happened. How did it happen?" Like... why would Kurumi just go ahead and crush Jonathan's heart like this by having an affair with Lewis. LEWIS. "I mean, he doesn't seem the kind of guy going around and stealing other guys' girlfriends." What with his complete lack of sarcasm, complete condition of awkwardness and being flirty was probably next to impossible.
... in fact, and now that Louisa was thinking about, she was curious as how exactly did the two 'had an affair'. Did they hold hands and called it an affair? Kissing was just too much for the awkward couple.
"Piano?" Louisa's eyebrows went up in her forehead, she couldn't help hiding her surprise. "I know about the sketching, though. First time we met, we bickered over a sketching book you had with you." She grinned down at the boy and went back to the Piano. "So.. you prefer playing the piano. Pity there isn't any pianos around." she added absently, staring down at the ground thoughtfully. There wasn't any piano around but that didn't mean she can't get one for him.
"Do you ever regret it?" She asked after a while, "The time you've been with her, do you regret wasting it on her after what she'd done to you?" Because Louisa wasn't a big fan of Kurumi at the moment. Her subconscious was already planning what to say to the Gryffindor once Louisa met her again.
Someone should make sure the girl knows exactly how much she hurt Johnny.

Minerva thought about what he said they could cause trouble, that wasn't nice and she could see how they could. They probably did between Tay and him. She remembered the train ride and the argument over the color and the meaning. She shook the thoughts out of her head, it didn't matter anymore, none of it did. What matter was here and now. "Well I guess I have seen them cause trouble, but they won't cause trouble for us." she kissed his nose and smiled. She began to blush when he pointed out her words about being drawn to them. "Yes, I have been. I am an eye person I guess you can say. It's the first thing I notice about people. There is just something about eyes, they never lie to you, but yours drew me in even more wanting to learn about the changes. I can't explain it really. You had to notice the constant eye contact I would give you." She felt silly telling him about her curiousness and pull she had with his eyes. She closed her eyes when he kissed her feeling her heart take off again. When he pulled back she noticed the pink, she was curious as to what it meant, but wasn't going to ask, because like she said before she wasn't going to let his eyes be trouble for them.

Maxwell smiled at her calling them an 'Us' it made him happy. "I noticed but i thought you just found them odd or something..." He said thinking about how Taylor's family just seemed to think less of him for it. "I'm glad they're done cause trouble." He said happy that she respected the privacy of his feelings, he wasn't used to it on one hand because of Taylor but on the other it was nice to not explain himself. And they went back to brown.

Minerva cuddled into him a bit and smiled. "You must have thought I was such a jerk. Always looking at your eyes like some nosy git. It wasn't like that at all I promise. I will admit I was curious on the colors sometimes, but always let it go as just being curious and nothing more."She looked up at him "You don't need colors to know how someones feeling. The eyes tell the truth no matter who you are, I think." She knew that sounded weird, but she had started noticing that a few years ago.

Maxwell cuddled back. "No, not at all. Most are curious, but you never judged me because of it or took advantage of it to figure out how i felt without talking to me...You were the only one." He said smiling, he never realized this before now. "I know what you mean, people's eyes show everything they are."

Minerva shrugged at this "I don't see why it should be my place to judge anyone. I have plenty of faults and plenty of issues, so I have no business judging anyone else." She knew that was true, she was far from perfect and with her history she would probably screw this happiness up some how as well. She leaned into him and sighed softly. "That's just wrong that I am the only one to let you be you. You should never try to hide who you are." A thought crossed her mind as they were talking about being judge."So were do we go from here? I mean how do you think this.." she lifted her hand that was holding his "is going to go over with certain people." She didn't want to care what the other two thought of it. They wanted nothing more then for them two to be happy, so why couldn't they be happy together, but then she just fixed her friendship with Taylor would that ruin it again.

Maxwell shrugged. "I don't know how they'll take it. But is it really their business anymore? they let us go, so we shouldn't have to worry about them...But Minnie there is something i have to tell you, when Taylor and I made up I kissed her, one last time...to say goodbye, it helped me get over her...I hope you're not angry." He said still keeping their discussion to himself, the part about him and Taylor coming back together one day, or that he still had the mirror and love knot and ring, he didn't carry them around anymore but he had them.

Minerva squeezed his hand "Your right it is none of there business, I guess I was just wondering if Taylor and my friendship would be pushed away again. We just started talking again the other day. She was pretty mad at me for lecturing her about hurting you." she looked up kissing his cheek. "If they are truly friends, then they will accept it, if not then I guess we will know." She wasn't sure she believed that herself, because if feelings were still there then it would cause some problems. Minerva then looked at him as he told her he kissed Taylor, she felt a little flop of her stomach thinking about how he probably still loved her and maybe this was crazy for them to be doing, but she just shrugged it off and kissed him. Once she looked at him again she gave a small smile "What's done is done. If you say it's over I believe you. I trust you completely Maxwell, I always have."

Maxwell nodded. "If they really cared about us as much as they say they do, they'll get over it." He looked down knowing she felt strange about him telling her he'd kissed Taylor one last time, but even though they weren't together he still felt like he should tell her. "We're done, we just didn't want to end things badly. I wanted to remember the good times and not the yelling." He smiled a little when she said she trusted him. "Thank You."

Minerva sat there still cuddle up against him holding his hand. She still was in a bit of a shock that all of this had happened. "Hey Maxwell, do you think things happen for a reason?" This conversation came up between her and Damon and it didn't go so well, so she was just curious on his thoughts. She thought she was put with this group for a reason to help her, but also help them. The person she thought it was for at first she was beginning to think wasn't the correct one at all. That this might have been the reason for being here all along. She felt her stomach grumble a bit. Looking at him she smiled "You wouldn't want to go get something to eat with me would ya?"

Maxwell thought for a moment. "I think so...to an extent. I think while most things happen for a reason something we do on our own...we do make our own choices." He thought for a moment. "I think so, do you wanna go to the kitchens or the hall?" He asked.

Minerva smiled understanding what he meant. She couldn't help, but kiss his cheek again. "Let's go to the hall if that's okay." She never even thought about the kitchen and after her little prank with Laura she was avoiding the area. From her knowledge no one had figured out which puffs charmed the wall and she was hoping they never would..

He didn't look like he was mad or anything which meant that they probably weren't fighting which was good. But what exactly was he doing then?
The second year smiled when she heard Alec calling out to them. She returned the wave and decided to walk over and find out what in merlin's name was going on. "Come on Soph, let's go see what happened! And you, Barnabus, you stay put." Cause he was in BIG trouble, mister!
When she got to Alec, she was able to make out another boy who looked to be around their age. Looking from one to the other, she raised her eyebrows. "What happened? It looked like-but you wouldn't-Is everyone okay?" Cause that was the most important thing, right? Plus, Ella knew Alec was a nice boy and probably wouldn't be partaking in a fight. And then there was the puff that they had seen. Had it tried to make a run for it like Barny had a short time ago? Seriously, what was up with those puffs?!

"THE PYGMY PUFF!! IT'S GOING TOWARDS THE WILLOW!!!" AAAHHHHH!!!!

...CUE PANIC MODE.
He began to struggle underneath the other boy, thrashing his arms about and kicking his legs and trying DESPERATELY to throw him off him. "P-p-plea-se... geddoff me." He could barely manage to talk and he was DYING here. DYING because this boy was MEAN and WEIRD and TOTALLY KILLING HIM RIGHT NOW.
And he, Darwin, wasn't ready to die. Not ready whatsoever! He had stuff to learn and things to do and friends to make and he was pretty sure his Mum didn't want him dead, either. Neither would Brooke and Oskar and his Dad and... well, Emiline probably would, but she just didn't count as a person.
"The t-t-ree?" Now it was time for him to adopt a confused look, and the shock of the idea stopped him from struggling. "Bu-but.. why... why w-would I... want t-to... chase the tree?!" That was an ABSURD idea, and absolutely MAD accusation! Of course he wasn't chasing the TREE, that would probably get him KILLED.
...Well, killed faster than being sat on, at least.
Which he was still not enjoying. Dragging deep breaths, Darwin's confused look deepened. "I'm not... c-calling th-the... tree 'Paul! Th-that's my... Pgymy P-puff's name! An-and he's... running... towards the... t-tree!" And if the boy didn't get off him now and let him rescue Paul then...
Well, he wasn't sure what he'd do, since he was pinned down and couldn't exactly do much. He couldn't even imagine what Spiderman would do in such a situation, because he couldn't imagine Spiderman ever getting into such a situation. He was just a stupid attempt at being his hero right now and that was embarrassing. Maybe he was just not cut out for this Superhero business. :-(
And how this boy had ACCOMPLICES. OTHER PEOPLE who were going to keep him from Paul and hurt him some more. "N-no! EVER-YONE is N-NOT ok-okay. I c-can't BR-BREATHE. And Paul is g-going to d-die." And so was he, but he didn't focus on the fact that because he was talking (however breathless his voice was) that meant that he could totally breathe and therefore wasn't dying. No, that wasn't the case.
LOOK. PERSON RUNNING. TOWARD THE TREE. "THANK YOU. SAVE PAUL, PERSON RUNNING." Because she seemed NICE. She seemed like she really wanted to help him, and not KILL him like this other weird person and his accomplice was trying to.
"Now c-can you... geddoff... m-me?"

"Calm down and take a deep breath." She said quietly, turning her attention to Sophie and the runaway puff and then back to the boys in front of her. She didn't want this other boy to pass out or something or worse, start swinging on Alec, who was still kind of on top of the boy. "He's not going to die, Sophie is good with her wand, she'll stop him. She stopped mine." Yup, Barnabus was now safely sitting on Ella's shoulder. Looking back towards the willow, Ella called over her shoulder to her friend. "Sophie, don't get too close! Use your wand if you have to!" Cause she was good with her wand and Ella didn't want her friend to get wacked by the willow which was swaying menacingly back and forth.
Looking back down again, she heard the boy plea with Alec to get off of him. Why hadn't he got off of the boy yet? Oh no! Had he hurt himself when he tried to stop the angry boy from heading towards the willow? Concern now on her face, she held out her hands to help Alec pull himself up. "Here, I'll help." Cause she wasn't mean like the boy on the ground was making her out to be.

She was lucky Barny was alright, but what if something went wrong with this other Pygmy Puff?? Gaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh!!!
She was too busy to hear the boy shouting for a 'person running', but she did her as Ella called out her name and warned her about the tree and her wand. BUTBUTBUTBUTBUT she didn't want to hurt the Pygmy Puff! She couldn't use the Freezing Spell! AAAHHHHWHATTODOOOO???
The Pygmy Puff was SO fast - how COULD they run this fast????? - and it was almost reaching the Whomping Willow!! THEY WERE BOTH GOING TO GET HIT!!! MERLINHELP!!! HEEEEEEEEEEELP!!!
Then something suddenly popped into Sophie's mind! She stopped abruptly and pointed her wand to the runaway Pygmy Puff before either of them reached the Willow. "WINGARDIUM LEVIOSA!" She exclaimed with a swish and flick, both of her eyebrows raised. That spell didn't hurt! She knew it!! And the creature wasn't going to be able to run if it was floating, right??????
Alec didn't really know what to do or think now. At first, tackling someone to stop them from reaching the dangerous tree seemed like the right thing to do. Now? Now it just felt plain silly. And he felt stupid for doing it! Especially since he was attracting a lot of attention now! Not that he minded Ella and Sophie, of course. They were nice girls.
And now Ella was asking what had happened! How was he meant to explain himself? "Erm... this guy..." Because he didn't know the guy's name. "He was running towards the tree! I had to tackle him to save him!" His grey-blue eyes flicked between Ella and Sophie, who was coming towards them as well. They would understand wouldn't they? He wasn't being heroic, he was just... saving someone.
But before he could say anything else, Sophie... Why was she running towards the tree as well?! Did she want to get hurt? Alec loosened his grip on the guy he had tackled to try and tried to get to Sophie but something was stopping him. Was it fear? Or something else? "Sophie! NOOO!" He was NOT going to let her get hurt by the tree! No no no! ... But... she was talking about a Pygmy Puff? And the tree? What was that all about? "Ella, do you know what she's talking about?" Because he was completely confused!
Then the boy who was pinned down had started talking! Get off? Really? The boy wanted him to get off? But he couldn't! What if the boy decided to run towards the tree?! Alec would never forgive himself if something happened to the boy... even if he didn't really know the boy, as such. But he was a nice boy! And no one should get hurt by the evil, dangerous tree! Superman would not allow it! At his question... "I don't know!" he said, "You... you weren't trying to get as close to the tree as possible?" Because that's what it seemed like to Alec.
His Pygmy Puff? What? First Sophie with the Pygmy Puff business and now... this boy? What was going on? Confused, Alec loosened his grip on the boy even more as he looked around for- THERE IT WAS! Right? A small fluffy little animal that was running towards the tree and getting chased by Sophie. Now THAT was the Superman thing to do. "Why is Paul running towards the tree?!" If Paul was a person, Alec would have tackled him to stop him from running towards the tree.
Oh yeah! He had to get off now! Because this boy wasn't running after the tree and trying to get himself hurt at all. Alec stood up and held out his hand to the boy on the ground, a sheepish grin on his face. "Erm..." he started, "You need help?" Yeah, the boy who had just tackled the other boy was about to help him up now. It seemed like the right, Hufflepuff thing to do.
Alec looked at Ella as she started talking. Or not talking, she started shouting over towards Sophie. His eyes then wandered over towards the other second year Hufflepuff girl who... was being like Wonder Woman! Alec blinked as he watched her chasing the Pygmy Puffs. Come ooooon, Sophie! "El, do you think she needs a hand?" Because they could go and help her and make sure that she doesn't get hurt. Or he could, he didn't really want anyone to get hurt.
But before he could hear Ella saying anything, his eyes picked up on Sophie stopping suddenly. Okay, this was slightly odd now. And it was even more nerve-wracking than going up against Ellie Stone in a Quidditch Match. This concerned his friends getting hurt! He waited with bated breath as Sophie took out her wand and cast the levitation spell. He stole a glance at Ella and the other boy. This... should work, shouldn't it?
