God this school was boring. Brennan had a bit of ADD when it came to life and that meant things like... school... bored her half to death. One of the major upsides about this school though, was that it was coed. Something Brennan was taking advantage of at the moment. She was in the hall, tucked into a little nook, making out with a Ravenclaw. She didn't know his name. She didn't really care. He was Hot- Anthony, that was his name. Anyway they were making out in a corner, not bothering anyone. Of course the school had a no PDA policy, but how often did people pay attention to that? Kids were always sneaking into empty classrooms. Brennan would go as far as to say at least sixty percent of the people that had graduated from Hogwarts had lost their virginity in an empty class room. Kids were resourceful. Deny guys access to the girls room... have kids doing dirty things in class rooms. However Brennan wasn't one of the girls that lost it in a class room, no she wasn't that lame, she had wanted her first time to be somewhere interesting. She had infact, lost it at the shrieking Shack. She and a guy had managed to sneak their way in and celebrated by... breaking the place in. It had been a bit dusty, but it beat saying she'd lost it in room number 798 or something like that. Anyway, she was making out with Anthony when she heard an oh so familier annoying voice. "Now Miss Vander Wende, you know that's against the rules.""Fuck off Cricket." Brennan looked at her cousin. "Before I knock the shitout of you.""Such language, does your mother know you talk like that? Now get out of here Mr. Spears before I have to give you two detention." Anthony ran off and Brennan rolled her eyes as Cricket laughed and walked off. Outfit

Tobin was pissed off his family was annoying. He'd just gotten home for the moment and he just gotten back and he looked over at his room mate who was giving him a bad time all of a sudden. " Do me a favor Anthony and shut the hell up." " he shook his head. He really didn't want to listen to the guy who was saying he was making out with Brennan he shook his head and grabbed his wand and started to walk down the stairs. he knew that it was probably better to ignore the world. His wife to be was a little weird. Though the guy his cousin was engaged to was really full of himself. He looked around and kept walking.
He ran a hand through his short hair and looked up when he saw Cricket. He raised an eye brow but just shrugged it off. He walked in the direction he just came from. He sighed and looked down the hall he didn't see anyone until he walked down and looked at her. " Oh boy this was going to be a fun time.

"It's always fun when I'm involved Radcliffe." She smirked. There was one downside to a family as big as his... in a crowded room, when one called for Radcliffe, they'd get about eighty seven responces. The same thing happened the Vander Wendes... it was the curse of the big family. There were many curese to a big family of course. Though it did help that they were a big family, with money. She looked up at him. God he was tall. She placed her hands on her hips. "So how was dinner with the Future Mrs. Tobin Radcliffe?" She asked. She knew Lucy had gone too to have dinner with Dabner... Dabner... what the fuck ever. She made a mental note to hunt her friend down later. She knew this was actually really starting to get to Lucy, in a really bad way.
"How's Luce?" She asked. Lucy was the only person, other than herself, that she actually kind of gave a fuck about. She didn't like it when Lucy was upset. She had once kicked the shit out of a kid for trying to insult Lucy... of course Lucy hadn't been there at the time, or else she would have defended herself, but whatever. "And what is your blushing bride's name?" She was sure it'd be someone she knew. The Radcliffes and the Vander Wendes ran in the same circles. And she also knew, at least vaguely, of most of the families that still did arranged marriages. There weren't a lot anymore. Her own family had given up with her parents. Actually it was mostly because of her mum that they'd given up on it.

He looked around and bit his lower lip looking over at her," I'll give you that Vander Wende." He teased a little bit and rolled his eyes and wanted to say something but he shook his head," Well the french really do have a lot of blond haired blue eyed bimbo pure bloods." He shrugged answering her question. He honestly thought his wife to be was stupid. She was hot but she was stupid she had to ask him for a spell that was taught in first year. But he shook his head and looked over at her. " I feel like my family is falling down to the inbreed families and it's pathetic the woman they picked." He said.
He looked over at her and crossed his arms over his chest leaning against the wall," Wow does Brennan Vander Wende actually care about Lucinda Radcliffe? I'm shocked, I was sure you wouldn't give a crap about her." He said and looked around and tilted his head and rand a hand over his head rubbing his neck. " I think she's going to be depressed. The guy is full of himself and just an ass. Danbe if you ever wanted a guy to cut his balls off it'd be great. I even told him to shut the hell up. And Richards...Natalie Richards of the French Richards Clan." " he said to the girl.

"Well yeah, the french are known for their chips and their blonde bimbos." She joked lightly, looking over at him. She had some of those in her own family... quite a few of them actually. Somehow her Dark haired uncle managed to produce nothing but blondes, and there were several other blondes in the family, that wasn't the point. She pushed it out of her head. "She's my best friend jack ass." She placed her hands on her hips. "Besides, my life is painfully dull at the moment, so I take on other people's dramas to keep from throwing myself from the astronomy tower." She shrugged and leaned against the wall. It was cold, but she didn't mind it. She liked the shock of the coldstone against her back. she looked at him, quirking an eyebrow.
"Yeah, I figured out who you were talking about, Danbe, I do believe I tried to drown him when we were kids." She shrugged. "I could try again. I'm stronger than I was when I was six, and I can't say the same thing for Danbe." She smirked. Her eyes widened in disbelief when he said the nameof his future wife. "No... Oh god, poor you." She shook her head. "I've never even met her, I've just heard about it. I hear the only thing keeping her from being the most dull creature on the planet is the incredible amount of stupid she's managed to stuff into her head." She shook her head. "Well, then, enjoy your inevitable alcoholism." She nodded and smirked. Granted in her world, Alcohol was always the answer.

Tobin looked around and sighed looking around, he really just wanted to yawn and push everything from his mind from the horrible night that was still lingering around him. " I beat him with an inch of his life when we were ten. He's all grown up now he's uglier than I remember in fact. " He smiled and looked around looking out of the grounds and looked over at the girl," Well yeah but lets face it you and Lucinda never act like friends. People most of the time are more confused about the two of you, you and her never act friendly but the second someone bad mouths you in front of her she is hexing them up oneside and down the other or beating them with an inch of their life. But then you do the same thing." He said looking around.
Tobin looked over at her and nodded his head looking over at her he enjoyed the silence. He hated loud areas he hated this school because everyone had to talk and talk. He really did want to yell at his parents. He smirked and shook his head,"She asked me what the levitation spell was tonight because I was talking about how if you levitate a flame and then say the explosion spell you get you're own fire work display and she was litereally serious in asking me what it was." He really hated the idea but he looked around and wanted to make things better with his cousin but she wasn't talking she looked sad most days though. " Knowing my cousin she'll find away to get out of it."

Brennan shrugged. "Lucy and I have an understanding. We're as close to friends as we can get." Some might consider that a bit sad. But they both had a severe inability to show that they cared for someone. The closest thing they could come to compassion was defending the other one when they weren't there to do it themselves. Of course if Lucy was there, Brennan would step back and let her handle it, jumping in only if Lucy was out numbered. And in return, Brennan expected Lucy to do the same. They could fight their own battles and didn't generally require help. Brennan bit the inside of her cheek. This Danbe thing was starting to feel like one of those moments though, when Lucy was out numbered, in over her head, and needed help, but Brennan didn't know how to help her... short of killing Danbe.
"Well congratulations, you've managed to find a wife that you can outsmart." She quipped. She felt bad for him too, but hey, Natalie was, from what Brennan had heard, gorgeous. And in pureblood circles... wives needed to be pretty. Brains and Personalities were optional. It sucked, But that was how it often worked. Though she was a bit surprised, there were some families, like the Black, and she thought the Radcliffes fell under this category, they wanted hard women, Women who could raise proper children, and who could hold their own. Women they could be proud of... but sometimes beauty overcame all. Not to mention there weren't a lot of families still doing the whole arranged marriage thing. "You'll just have to find out if she's any good in bed."

Tobin looked over at her and sighed shaking his head," You and my cousin, two very emotionally guarded people." He looked out over the grounds," Well seeing as this school is boring as hell wanna go get a drink and the hogs head or what ever." He asked her," Just for some good fun that is, maybe even melt you down a little." He said teasingly. He really didn't mind her but she was annoying. " Well your and Lucinda's agreement is confusing." He shook his head, they were so bitchy and so just weird he didn't understand how two very broken people were such weird friends or anything. He didn't want to understand the world through Lucinda's or Brennan's eyes. It actually freaked him out a little bit trying to figure things out their way or their logic.
He looked over at her," I'm a ravenclaw it's really not that hard to out smart everyone. [/b]" He stated and looked over at her," She's actually a very lousy shag..." He stated," Last summer she came over and I got beyond pissed and she practically threw herself at me. Worst I've ever had but she keeps coming back." He shook his head and started to walk assuming the girl would come with him for a couple of drinks away from this god for saken castle. He looked over at her and smirked," But I'm kind of upset that my family had to stoop so low for an arranged marriage I mean I'd much per fer someone not blond they've never been attractive to me. but someone with half the smarts of how to duel properly." He shook his head and held open the tapestry. [/blockquote]

"We get emotional. We're both prone to anger. that's technically an emotion." Brennan pointed out. She nodded as he suggested the hogs head. That was the only place in hogsmeade that didn't care if the students showed up outside of Hogwarts weekends, bonus points since they were infact of age so they didn't have to worry about getting in trouble. They could serve them as much alcohol as they wanted. Brennan walked along, making a face when he said that his future wife was a horrible shag. Well that had to really suck. She fixed her top so the side with the actual sleeve wasn't trying to slip down. She slipped down the hidden corridoor that Tobin revealed when he moved the tapestry. This was something not a lot of people knew about.
She walked slowly, glancing back at him. "Well you just have to have kids with her I guess. You can sleep with whoever you want. It's not like she'd divorce you." There wasn't actually a lot of divorce in the pureblood world. It was too shameful for the family so generally they just lived in unhappiness. Unhappy couples would just have their affairs and virtually ignore their partner. She looked back at him again. "Unless you can talk your parents out of it." Yeah right, the Radcliffes rarely did that. There was a certain amount of shame to broken arrangements, without some sort of reason. Her mother broke her arrangement with Michael in order to marry Nigel, and then have a huge number of kids with him. But it wasn't entirely shameful... since she married Uncle Michael's brother.

Tobin looked over at her and shook his head," Not saying that it isn't an emotion I'm just stating that as a whole that is the only emotion I think I've ever seen you or Lucinda ever show. I want to know what was so bad that royally fucked the both of you up to the point of having meaningless hook ups and never keeping a relationship longer than two weeks. [/b]" He asked her yes Tobin was messed up in his own way but he simply was Tobin he was the guy that said he'd sleep with someone but made it clear that the next day there would be nothing there. He knew why everyone knew why. Tobin was engaged and had been since he was four. He had no problem playing that card. But than again there was a a truth shield that Tobin hid behind. He closed his eyes a moment and closed his eyes and made sure the secret passage was closed. " You know I'd get my ass handed to me if I even brought up the thing to my parents. but her parents if they see me being an ass to her or he upset because of me she could get them to back out. But she is happily engaged to me except she sleeps with every guy that comes her way. Then she gets pissed when I don't give her anything when she comes over. But lets face it, She may be hot but she really doesn't have anything to offer." He shrugged and looked over at her," What about you and Anthony?' He asked about his fellow Ravenclaw and her and where they stood. Anthony just kept things vague saying another night with Brennan and such but it was still fun to tease he about.[/blockquote]

Brennan didn't look back at him. "Well Tobin, let me lay it out for you. I'm not a boy, and I'm not a princess like my older sister. My dad never really found use for me. He couldn't spoil me with gifts like Colby and, even though I care more about the business than Nigel, I'm not a boy. My mom tried but she was too busy popping out kids like she's a factory. After so long of parental indifference one just stops giving a fuck." She shrugged. Even now her parents had just kind of given up on the idea of getting close to her. She was a bit closer to her dad, in the business sense. He'd realized that Brennan had more brains than her older brother and started talking business with her over drinks in the office. Her relationship with her dad was more of a business one and her mom... Heaven just wasn't sure what to do with her. Her other three daughters were all emotional and fairly girly.
"Anthony and I?" She quirked an eyebrow. "What about him? He's a great kisser." She didn't really care beyond that, she was having her fun with him. She didn't always sleep with a guy the first time they kissed, no she enjoyed playing with guys like they were prey. Right now Anthony was her toy and she was enjoying driving him crazy. She'd get him so close... then she'd pull back. She hadn't slept with him yet. She didn't know if she would. It was just a matter of time and if she was in the mood, maybe tonight if she got drunk enough. She walked out of the tunnel and into the dim light of twilight. "Well good luck with her." she shrugged. Again, no idea what to say or what she could do, short of murder.

Tobin listened to her and nodded her head looking around and bit his lip thinking about it. He really hated it that purebloods were so focused on sex and appearance. He looked over at her and shrugged his shoulders, he was thinking it was the signature Radcliffe thinking look. Every Radcliffe had the look it was a little different but the same deep look in their eyes and the same way they pursed their lips together thinking of the perfect thing to say. He Walked with her his hands in his pockets and he walked out of the building his eyes squinting a little bit. He took out his wand and waved it the snow around them lifting up and transfiguring into two white cloaks. Tobin was very good with Magic. He walked along the path and sighed listening to her finish her good luck wishes to him.
" Anthony is also bi-sexual I walked in on him and Rex twice last year he said he was just teaching Rex how to kiss." He shrugged and looked over at her and shrugged. He closed his his eyes and walked with her and looked over at her wanting to say something but he shook his head," Yeah I'll be able to figure everything out eventually some how I'll make her want to back out or I'll be miserable the rest of my life. That's life as a pure blood I suppose." He shrugged his shoulders and and smiled a little bit," For what it counts for Brennan, I think you're smart and that you're family is daft if they think their business is going to flourish under Nigel Jr. Or what ever they are wanting just because he has a Y chromosome. With how smart you are you'd be the best choice." He shrugged his shoulders and walked along the path.

"Brains aren't the issue. Dad is worried that people won't take me seriously because I'm a woman. He said it would be even worse when I get older, if I have kids. It'll make me look weak. I told him I don't plan on having kids at this point. I'd rather have the business. But it doesn't look at good to the investors and other companies. Though I don't know what they'll do about Uncle Richard, each brother is suppose to have a rep of sorts for the next generation, Uncle Richard has all daughters." Though he knew that some of his girls could hold their own on the board room. "If anything I just won't get to be the face ofthe company, Which is bull shit. I know more about business than Nigel and Michael combined.
She walked into the bar, holding the door for him. "Well maybe you'll get lucky and one of you will fall in love before the big day. Do you buy her a ring or... what?" She didn't know how it worked. "Or was she given a ring at birth or something?" She knew she'd have lost it a long time ago if she'd gotten one when she was born. She'd probably have hocked it just for the sake of hocking it. She looked at him and went to the bar, sitting down. "Fire whiskey." She said. "I don't really care who he's done in the past. He's a good kisser, that what matters to me." She shrugged and reached out to take her fire whiskey as the bartender held it out to her.

Tobin looked over at her and shook his head," Well if anyone had a brain they'd know better than to think any less of you because you're a woman. I've seen how scary you can be." Hr nodded his head and looked around and smiled over at her. " But that's just me. You're father really should see just how good you are. My father has even stated how your father is insane for not stepping up and putting you as head of the business. " He shrugged and walked into the bar and looked over at her," Just bring over the bottle two in fact less of a hassle for you." He looked around and smirked and looked around and smirked and shrugged his shoulders." Well I hope you are right by that, But she doesn't seem like the kind of girl that wants to go against Daddy.""
He looked over at her and then looked around and then started to drink, he enjoyed to drink and he enjoyed not having to listen to freak talk about drunkenly." Lucinda's wedding is sooner than mine." He smirked a little bit and shrugged," The engagements are being announced at the first ball this year. All the 17 year olds are going to be introduced unless they have others which is why out cousins Fredrick and Zoey are both dating people so that they wont have to be with the freaks their parents set up for the. Though word has it that Tyson and Jaden have broken up and their parents are already sh oping for takers of everything. " He smirked and looked over at her he sighed," I'm sure you'll look good in Ravenclaw colors."

Brennan shrugged. "They'll see eventually. I'll make them. I mean, do I look like the type to really sit back and let my dumbass brother and cousin take credit for my work? Or to start a family and be a stay at home mum? Yeah right, I would rip out my own uterus before I'd do that." She shook her head. She didn't do well with children. She really didn't plan on having them right now. She took another long drink of fire whiskey. God it was good. She was destined to be an alcoholic, she knew that much about herself. She looked back over at him again. "Then looks like you better start looking for Miss Right. It cant' be that hard. You want a woman who's not a moron. Those exist." She shrugged. She took another drink, draining her glass and she refilled it.
"Right, yeah, mum said something about that. Well anyway at least you can drink until she's not so annoying." Yeah right like that would happen... then again there was no harm in trying. She smirked and took another drink. She looked over at a guy down the bar, he and his friends kept looking over at the two of them and muttering. "Do you have a problem?" She snarled at him. The man smirked and went back to talking with his friends. "God I hate people." She muttered and looked at Tobin. "Anyway," She thought about that, why did the name Tyson sound familier... oh yeah, her cousin Kendall, god the bitch was annoying. Kendall, not Tyson, Brennan didn't really know Tyson.
