Love the spot. ((Maddie))

[Ryan Shanks]

Nick zipped up his jacket after a cold wind blew into his face. Why was this young Gryffie outside instead of being in the nice warm inside by a fire you ask? Well the is a simple explanation. Nick loved the lake. It is one of his favorite spots to go and just relax while looking out to the water.

Walking along the grass he finally reached the lake. Found his favorite spot by a tree and took a seat on the grass. One of the reasons that it was a hif favorite spot was because this is where he first met Melody one of his bestfrinds at Trio's. Sighing he put his hands behind his head adn layed his back against the tree. Gazing out to the lake.

[ugh sorry sucky start i did it in a rush!]

[maddie]

Ah, the lake. Lot's of good memories there, just waiting to happen.

It was Maddie's first year at this school. She barely knew her way around, and didn't know one single soul. How she hated that. It would be so much more fun with friends, enemies, and just generally knowing people. Though, she took comfort in reminding herself that she was going to meet new people, and she was going to make new friends.. eventually. But while she didn't know anyone, Maddie decided she would wander around the school grounds, and learn her way around.

So off she went, to the lake. Yes, the lake. Well, she did like water..

Maddie was carrying a large bag, filled with food. Why>? She was going to have a picnic. It was a beautiful day for it, was it not? The sun was out, and she was hungry. Yeah, Maddie cared about her stomach a little too much sometimes. But whats wrong with that? She did need food to survive, after all.

Once there, Maddie walked around the lake for a bit. She needed to find the perfect place to sit... Miss Fussy, that was her. Hehe. She wanted to sit in the shade, under a tree, with a good view of the lake. Was that too much to ask? Exactly. After a bit of looking, Maddie found a place that looked, err.. close to satisfactory. Well good enough, anyway. That was her place. She would have some peace and quiet there.

Only, not really. Someone was already there. 'Stupid. Boy.' Maddie muttered at the sight of him. Well, she wasn't going to let some boy ruin her picnic, was she. Of course not, Maddie was too stubborn for that.

She skipped over to the tree, and plopped herself onto the grass, not far from the boy, and pretended that she hadn't seen him. She opened up her bag, and began to take out some of the food. It was all junk food, of course, she wasn't going healthy or anything. There were cakes, and biscuits, doughnuts, lollies.. everything you could think of, Maddie had it. She was a bit greedy when to came to food, to be honest.

'Perfect.' She said with a smile, she had everything set out, and she was ready to eat. This was going to be good, as long as that boy didn't spoil it, she was happy.

((sorry, I got a bit carried away. lol))

Nick opened one eye at a sound he heard. He was surprised to see a girl with long brown hair and brown eyes plop right down next to him "Uh.... Hi..." he stammered. he found it a little bit odd that that some random girl sat down next to him. Most people were really friendly at trios, he was hoping that she was one of those people. But if not he would deal. he could be quite stubberon if he wanted to be. She had a picnic basket with her. Which gave him the idea that she was gonna have a picnic. I know what you are thinking. Nick is pretty smart figuring stuff out like that.

[lol it is fine!]

[maddie]

'Dammit' Maddie said a little too loud when the boy spoke to her. It had just been so easy for her to ignore him, but now she couldn't. Maddie hoped that this wouldn't result in her having to share her food or anything, because that was just unheard of, for her anyway. Maddie loved her food too much to share with such.. undeserving people. But then Maddie had to remind herself to be nice, and to make friends. To was too new to have any enemies.

'Hii' she said with a sweet smile, now looking directly at the boy, 'I didn't see you there..' she lied. Unsure of what else to say to him, Maddie went back to her food. Mmm, chocolate cookies. Man, they smelt so good. She let the smell drift through her nostrils, mmm. Pleased that she wasn't on a diet, Maddie began to eat one, sooo good.

Although, it was a little hard for her to enjoy anything, as she could feel that boys presence, he was probally staring at her, Maddie was sure. But she still tried her best to enjoy her food, she had come all that way, after all.

[Ryan Shanks]

'Hii'
The girl said smiling. He rolled his eyes. How could she have not seen me? Was she blind? She he continue to talkk to her. She grabbed a chocolate cookie and began munching on it. Nick didn't care he had his own foor already. He had just been down to the kitchens and piggged out on junk food. So he was pretty full right now. Nick set his chin on his hand that was resting on his knee. "So are you new here?" he asked her with a fake smile. Nick could be just as mean as other people if they were mean to him.

[maddie]

Maddie rolled her eyes when he began to talk to her again. Obviously he was trying to annoy Miss Maddie Dyson. Yes, Maddie knew all. She could tell it from the tone of his voice, Maddie knew it as she had used it so many times before. As hypocritical as it may be, Maddie didn't appreciate it one bit. All she wanted was to enjoy some food, not to be annoyed by some boy.

'Yes' she said eventually. It was simple, Maddie just didn't want to make conversation with him. She had done it before; those awkward conversations where everyone is trying to be nice, but they are really hating the person. Stupid consepts, they happened all too often. Maddie was completly over faking stuff like that, too hard.

'Ooh, cake'

Maddie pulled out a massive chocolate cake from her bag, even though she knew she shouldn't. Maddie was such a chocoholic. But in her opinion, anyone who wasn't was mad, and she would have nothing to do with them, weirdos.

'Want some?' she asked the boy whose name she still did not know. She didn't want to be rude, esspecially if he was going to be playing the nice game. Without giving him a chance to answer, Maddie cut a big piece of the cake, and gave it too him. Of course, there was nothing wrong with it, Maddie wasn't that evil, but she just wanted to see how he would react.

She then proceeded to cut herself a piece, and began to eat it. Oh, she was in heaven. xD

[Ryan Shanks]

'Yes'

It was as simple as that. Man he wasn't getting anything out of her. But then again if she was gonna treat him this way maybe he didn't want to be friends with her after all? He laened his chair against the tree. Tis was going no where! She pulled from her basket a big chcolate cake. Oh how nick loved chcolate. But he was pretty stuffed and was surprised when he handed him a piece, Nick smiled and asked, "Are you sure? Because you can have it if you want. I just ate." he told her in a half smile. Okay good they were talking.. Okay well he was talking. But that wansn't the point. "I'm Nick by the way."

[maddie]

Maddie loved the boys reaction when she gave him the cake. Priceless. Yeah, Maddie could be a bit unexpected at times, a bit random. No one could ever guess what she was feeling, or guess what she was going to do. She loved that power, it made her feel.. a word that can't really be described. But it felt good, to her, anyway. She was weird like that.

'Why would I give it to you if a wasn't sure?' Maddie asked. Maddie didn't understand this boy, but at least his behaviour, or his attitute towards her had changed.. a bit. That was something, at least. Good move giving him the cake.

And now she had a name. Nick. 'Bout time she heard that, although it didn't really bother her. It was just fun to pretend that it did. Even if she couldn't exactly talk herself, she could have given her own name first. But yeaah, Maddie ignores stuff like that. She is such a freak.. but a cool one!

'Maddie.'

[Ryan Shanks]

Kay to her name was Maddie. Nick loved that name and had a really good friend named Maddie. But getting of the subject! point was she told him her name. He kept the piece of cake. Which really didn't disapoint him! he took a bite and and asked, "So what house are you in?" he wasn't sure if he should ask her. But he was bored and had nothing better to do.
[ugh sorry so short!]

[maddie]

((lol it's fine. =]

I'm beginning to run out of ideas though, but lets see..))


A smirk reached Maddie's face as he ate the cake she had given him. She thought that Nick had already eaten, and wasn't going to have any. Although she was pleased he did eat, now Nick could never tell her that she never gave him anything. Maddie loved that, it was fun to play with peoples minds. Hehe. xD

'Like the cake?' she asked, taking another bite herself. It was really good, anthing with chocolate was though, really. It was just something that you could never get enough of, unless you have a weak stomach. Maddie, however, had far from a weak stomach. So having enough chocolate was not the reason that she was planning on having some lollies next. It wasn't her fault that they didn't have any chocolate in them, she just loved lollies. Plus, you could eat them in class, if you were clever enough to get away with it.

'Slytherin.' And how could he not guess that? Was this boy stupid or something? Maddie didn't get him at all. He was a strange one. Maddie was getting mixed signals, so she had no idea if he liked her or not.. It was the cake, it made him act a bit nicer. Mmm, powerful stuff.

'You' she added not too long after. Now his house was also obvious, or so Maddie thought. But apparently Nick was into asking obvious questions as well. Or maybe he just had nothing better to say, either way.. Well, he could have said nothing, but Maddie wasn't sure if she would appreciate that herself, to be completly honest. Maddie really hated to be ignored, she was a very demanding person.

Now, anyway. Nicks house, yes. Maddie wouldn't pick him as a Ravenclaw, not bright enough for that. And not nice enough for Hufflepuff, or at least not nice enough to her, same thing. Oh and Slytherin. Not chance there. Nick was not cool enough for that. As Slytherin was, after all, the best house. And, not to forget Mihael. Maddie had no idea what special qualities that house had, but he did not have it. Yupp, he was a Gryffindor, Maddie was certain. But keep in mind, Maddie, like Nick, is not the brightest in the bunch, but we will soon see how good she is at this one.

And the cake was gone. That didn't take long. Any normal person would get fat by eating as much as Maddie did, but she was special. Maddie could eat as much as she liked, and not put anything on. How she loved her body. NOW TIME FOR SOME LOLLIES!! 'Now, where did I put them..' Maddie sort of thought out loud. 'Oh, there they are!' she smiled to herself as she slipped a grape one into her mouth. They were hard lollies, so they were fun to hit against teeth, so Maddie sat there doing that. She could hear the banging sound, Maddie liked that. She was like a child. Haha. But lollies were so much fun. They probally would annoy others, though. But seriously, why would Maddie care? Exactly, she was never one for that. God she was evil.

Ooh yeah, Nick. Maddie looked back at the boy, waiting to see how psychic she actually was.


((... or not. lol, I didn't think it would get that long, oops.

Sorry if my posts are too long for you. Believe it or not, I used to be a one-liner, and then this other site took me out of the habit. Now I can't write much shorter.. xD))

[Ryan Shanks]

"Yeah the cake is great! where did you get it?" he asked her curiously. he continued to munch on it. After a bit it was all gone. theres a surprise!! Maddie started rumageing through her basket trying to find some lollies. Maddie seemed pretty nice. It was like she was a totally jerk. No just a little one. Nick had met many of Slytherins. And most weren't mean at all. they were actually really nice. It was pretty easy to tell wich house she was in it was just Nick was trying to make conversation.

Wow Slythrin there is a shock! "That is what i thought," he muttered to himself. He thought it was pretty obvious to tell which house he was in. Gryffindor. And he was proud of it! Maddie stuck a lollie in her mouth an dbegan to suck on it. Nick was fine with that. he was still in shock that she decided to share her cake with him!

[ugh so sorry i was in a rush!!!]

[maddie]

Maddie smiled when Nick told her just how good the cake was. She knew he would like it, unless he had like, completly demented taste buds. But apparently his taste in food was completly normal, which was expected. The only thing that Maddie was unsure about was whether he would admit if he liked it, as Maddie didn't know if he liked her. But, Maddie had to admit, he was making a lot more conversation with her now she had given him the cake. If she didn't know any better, she would say there was something in it, but Maddie knew that there wasn't. Bad luck there.

'Glad you like it..' Maddie said with a bit of a cheeky smile. No, she wasn't sending him any hints, Maddie just reacted to situations differently to most people, she was a weird one. 'From the kitchen' Maddie answered him shortly after. She spoke like it was the most obvious thing in the world. It was one of those things where she though "I know the answer, so should you" or something. Maddie thought like that a lot. This was another thing that she should probally work on, but was she going to? Of course not.

Maddie heard Nick mutter "thats what I thought" under his breath after Maddie told him her house. Why did he fell the need to mutter that? Did he not want Maddie to hear him? Was he afraid of her? If so, Maddie wouldn't care, she would actually feel quite flattered. Someone being scared of you, it meant that you had obviously made an impression in their lives, and that you meant something to them. Was this not a good thing? Exactly. Although, to be honest, Maddie always had strange, yet wonderful ways of looking at the world. That was just her style.

After staring at Nick for however long, occasionally hearing the click of her lollie hitting the back of her teeth, Maddie still hadn't had her question answered. Was this boy deaf now? Or maybe, just choosing to ignore her. Maddie liked to demand peoples respect, and she wasn't getting it from him? Well, answering a question was showing a sign of respect, right. Yup. And Maddie hadn't gotten an answer out of him in how long? A few minutes, at least. Rudeness, that's what she was getting. But lets not all get angry, Maddie reminded herself, stay polite.

'And your house is?'

((lol, I think thats your longest yet. I could have written so much more, but for your sake..))

[Ryan Shanks]

Nick thought in a littel bit that he would head down there and thank them. he liked houseelves. He thought that they were cute as they ran around and bowed really low. He gazed out to the lake. Why must it be cold. He wanted to go swimming. He hated winter well h eliked the christmas part but not the cold and the snow. No. Defanitly not the snow.

Nick turned his head and said, "I'm in Gryffindor." he said proudly. he turly was proud of himself. All of his parents had been in hufflepuff and frankly. he didn't want to be in Hufflepuff. he felt he was more of a gryffindor. he dind't mind ravenclaw. And he didn't see then as nerds. But smart and nice. he sighed and said, "Do you have any siblings? here or back at your home?" he asked trying to make conversation with her.

She was becoming more and more willing to talk. Nick liked that. And he was starting to like her. he never really liked all nice that would be a little to annoying. No. Most of his friends joked around with him. And were honest with him no matter how mean the truth was. H eloved that he didn't like sugercoated things. Like most people at hogwarts gave him. And Maddie was defanitly not all nice. And that is why he liked her.

[it is fine post as long as you want. i just won't post as long. most of the time maybe two or one paragraphs.]
