"uuhh" She said looking up at the tree. "Did I ever mention I'm bad at climbing anythign includng staires?" She said quietly. "Last tree i climbed I got to the very top finaly and the wind blew me down. That one hurt" She chuckled. "Then again I was smaller so I wa=eighed not alot. for some reason were I lived, it was a burdopn to eat, you got a very small serving of everything and that would have to carry you over for like 4 hours" She said. "NOw I can't imagin how I lived like that. I love food" She laughed. "But oh well" she said grabbing onto a branch and climbed up. She made it look like to her that it was easy yet she says she can't climb trees very well. Eventually she made it to the right spot and sat happy but seemed a bit tired. "Well that was fun" She looked down. at the ground. "How the hell am I getting down.." She mumbled to herself and looked back to him. "And what do you mean 'it's nto really much?' You litteraly have gotten the perfect tre! you can climb on it, sit on it without falling and watch the sun set over the lake. I think thats pretty much everything. So whenever you get a date try brining her here if shes into this stuff. Personaly, I like sun rises etter then sun sets." She chuckled. "But it's getting me ot at like 2 in the morning without me being tired thats hard for me to have the perfect date. " She laughed.

Brendan laughed a little. A date? No, not him. Ever since his father's death he could never really open up to somebody, unless they were his best friend, someone he would trust with his life. The only one who knew how he truely felt and knew the true him was his best friend Manny, who left Hogwarts in her 7th year. Not even his mother knew the true Brendan. He would hardly ever show his sensitive side to anyone. A little bit of this side was showing tonight though.
"Mmm maybe, I dunno......Well you got up ok, didn't you? See it's not that hard." He said, trying to change the subject.
Within seconds Brendan was up. It must of looked like he had jumped or something, but over the years he developed a knack of climbing it and he could easily get up now.
The branch they were sitting on could easily hold around about four people it was that wide and long. He crawled over to his favourite part of the branch, the end. Below him, was a drop, about six metres down. If you fell off you would plumet into the icy waters of the Black Lake and probably hit the sandy bottom of it aswell.

"Maybe?" She asked. "more like eventualy." she chuckled. 'brendan From what i've sene of you, you have many girls kind of..I dunno, thowing themselves at you. there has to be some girl you like. plus you hit and flirt with most of them" She laughed. "I mean there has to be at least one of them that have your intrest by at least the smallest bit" She said quietly watching the lake. "And I guess I'm better at climbing trees then I thought" She laughed and yawned a bit.

The starts glisten brightly on the glass like water of the Black Lake. It looked just like a muggle photograph, non-moving. When Allure mentioned girls again, Brendan sighed. He had failed trying to change the subject.
"Well, I - I don't like really like one person, that's my problem. Besides if I had a girlfriend they would probably be diappointed." He muttered quietly.
He looked down and snapped off a small branch with plenty of leaves on it. The snap was so loud that Brendan was just waiting for the tree to jump and say 'Ouch that hurt!
He started pulling the leaves off the small branch, one by one, and watched them fall gently, zig-zagging their way onto the Lake's surface. The ripples from the leave's spread making, eventually, a rather lagre circular ripple.
"Yeah! I think you are better at climbing trees than you thought you were. You made it looked like you do it everyday. Bravo!" He said, trying to change the subject once again.
It was probably obvious that he was trying to change the subject as the tone in his voice was much happier than what it was before when he was talking about himself.

She looked to him. She finaly knew there was more to him then just what she had heard and seen from him. and in her now Dark blue eyes, you could see just pure curiosity. As if a kid finaly found the last peice of a puzzle that had been lost for months and months and can finaly see what the puzzle is, just pure curiosity. She forgot all about the tree part.
"that's no problem. that's life. You win some, you loose some, and you can't loose anything without having anything in the beggining. so eventually, you'll find some girl, which would be what you win." She said quietly. "And they wouldn't be disappointed. if they like you, then they shouod know you'll be different then you are around everyday life. if they dont' know that, then they have much to learn" She said and smiled. 'i mean theres been times I've liked many guys and times i've liked none at all. And I know eventually i'll find someone. may it be now or 4 years from now. Eventually somthing will happen" She smiled. She whisperd 'Lumos' and the tip of her wand lit up. She waved it around until she attracted a bunch of fireflies.
"Besides' She whispered "your only 16, theres more to look forward to, a whole lot more. theres alot of times for things to work out, things to ber forgiven, or forgotten, or things to move on from, theres just alot of time, you don't have to worry about it now, I mean, eventually it'll unwind itself." She smiled. "things in life, like love, friendship, those things in life. I guess the natural stuff, don't have a due date like school" She smiled. "in otherwords, you have no problem" She smiled happily still waving the wand and the fireflies danced along. they didn't see the rest of the wand, just the small light.
"There are many keywords in life that i find out, theres 'eventually' 'patients' and 'time' it's funny but I find those words I use most often when my friends have drama or someone else has a problem.Muggles especialy, god they have the most boreing things I don't een know how they make it through life" She laughed quietly.

"Your right." He said, still ripping off the leaves from the branch and dropping them into the water below.
His attempt to change the subject had yet again, failed. Brendan still didn't want to say much. This wasn't his kind of thing to talk about. He just wasn't going to open right up to somebody he had just met. Very few people knew his real personality. He didn't say anything for awhile, instead he was thinking. Thinking about himself and how he wasn't going to change for anyone. Thinking about how he and Tim are a team and Tim liked him for who he was. There was no way Brendan was going to change. He was going to stay the flirtatious, energetic, courageous, adventurous, loyal person he was and nothing was going to change him.
He turned around to face Allure and saw the fireflies buzzing near her. He didn't know weather she had done it on purpose or not, but she didn't seemed bothered by them so he just left it, assuming she had done it on purpose.
"So when do you want to go in? It's getting mighty cold, don't cha think?" He smiled.
Brendan wasn't really one to feel the cold but, when it was getting nippy, as it was, he could feel it. You could see their mist from their breath everytime they breathed out. Brendan predicted that it was getting close to nine and they would be expected back in their droms soon. Brendan was always out after hours but he was only thinking about Allure.
"I know I wouldn't want a detention to ruin my perfect years not getting one, would I?." He joked.
Obviously this wasn't true. Brendan never having a detention before? Please!

"or right" She said sarcastically, finaly dropping the conversation. But she still looked curiouse, this time ith no smile. She almost ooked..sorry..like she wanted to appologize or somthign was wrong. Somthign was bugging her but she never said anything. Maybe she was just to curiouse. She climbed down carfulyl and hit the ground without falling and crossed her arms. "yeah..I guess we should head back" She said quietly. The fireflies followed her wand as if it was one but she 'noxed' it and they scattered around. She leaned against the tree, now almost completly in thoughgt, she looked like she wasn't even there. But she came out of it at the suind of some creature around.

Brendan got down they way he usually does. Swinging onto the small, lower branch and then flipping himself onto the ground. He always landed on his feet. It must of looked like he was a acrobat.
Brendan got himself stable and then looked at Allure, smiling. She didn't seem like she had been all day, she looked like she was lost somewhere. 'Maybe she's just tired?' He thought.
"Are you ok?" He asked, curiously.
Her fainting on him or something like that would really do it. He wouldn't know what to do. He couldn't sleep out there, the teacher's would find out.

"huh? oh yeah!" She smiled and shivere.d "i'm cold..a bit warn out..and i'm still trying to figure you out." She chuckled. "I mean once i;m curious normaly I won't stop until I figure it out. But I think it makes you un-comfortable or somthing, so i stopped. I figure i'll find out one day or another" She smiled. "i don't give up"
She chuckled lightly along with shivered. "But we should head back, i'm in the mood for anythign warm"n She smiled

Brendan quickly took off his jumper and gave it to Allure. He thought it was the right thing to do if she was that cold. Besides, he didn't really feel the cold.
"There have my jumper and I don't want to hear you say no." He said, slightly demanding.
"Ok follow me. I will check to see if the ground is still stable, so I will take the lead. Better me than you in the lake ey." He said, walking infront of Allure and over to the unstable bank.
He assumed Allure was putting on the jumper so he waited.
"Oh the jumper might be a tad too big, just a tad." He joked.

She smirked and handed it bck to him. "then i just won't say 'no' "She smiled. "i'm good" She said crossing her arms again. "I'll make it" She shrugged. "Anyway, lead the way" She smiled happily watching the ground. 'how does this tree not sink into the lake.." She randomly asked as she moved onto a more stable rock. "I'm sorry for going on with the concversation by the way..I knew you were trying to change the subject' She said that last art almost silently

When Allure handed back his jumper all Brendan could so was smile and laugh.
"All you girls are the same you know. Always....I dunno the word." He smiled.
He started to walk along when he answered Allure's question.
"I think that it's roots are probably so long and thick that they spread everywhere. Probably even under the lake." He said, concentrating on the path.
While Allure was talking something had made a loud noise in the forest, cutting out what Allure was saying.
"Did you just say something?"
Brendan was feeling better. The subject of converstaion that occured in the tree had stopped and he was just happy to talk about random things, hopefully avoiding the subject.

She shook her head. 'Never mind" She said quietly and shrugged, catching up to him. "Was that noise you or somhing else?" She asked. 'by the way" She added. She yawned slightly after abnd that averted her attention for a second and she barly stumbled but she didn't seem to care. or even notice. "And we are all the same" She said quietly. "even theoverly mean ones are the same" She chuckled.

"Nah it wasn't me, probably something in the forest I assume." He smiled.
As he walked along he threw on his jumper and pulled his tie out. His tie was nearly all undone so he tightened it up a bit and kept walking. They were close to the edge of the forest and the ground was getting sturdier so you didn't have to hold onto trees anymore and you didn't have to worry about falling into the lake.
"So are you going to stay up for a bit? When you get into your common room?" He asked, just to make conversation.
The had reached the edge of the Forbidden Forest and were standing on the lush grounds.
