'Thanks' she said, smiling 'You're not that bad looking either, you know. You should watch out for Violet, she'll be all over you the minute you walk into the Common Room' Maddie grimaced at the thought of Violet. Evil. Pure evil.

Bradin returned the smile. He shuddered at the thought of Violet being all over him. "Trust me, I won't be falling for her in a hurry. Blonde haired girl who constantly talks about her looks?" he replied. He remembered Justin's description of her and the photo he saw of the girl. She sounded like a maneater or something. And self-centered too.

"I was born in New York but we moved to LA when I was 1 and then when I was 4 we moved to California after my mom passed away" he explained. His smile disappeared from his face at the thought of his mom being deceased. That was a sad day.

'I'm so sorry' she said sympathetically. She knew what it was like... her sister had died a few weeks ago. She'd never even met her. 'New York is great!' she said, attempting to lighten the mood 'And California. I have a beach villa there...'

Bradin's smile appeared again, but it wasn't as big as before. "Life goes on right" he replied. Then he heard her go on about New York and having a villa in California. "That sounds great. Where abouts is your villa in California?" he asked. His mood was better. He had got over his mom's death but it still got to him at times. It certainly effected his education, and other thing's.

'Yeah. Life goes on' she had to think for a minute when he asked where the villa was. then it came back to her 'Carmel' she said 'Where did you live when you were there?'

Bradin saw Maddie's sad smile. "Something tells me I shouldn't have mentioned death" he replied. He recognised that sad smile anywhere. His dad had given him it enough times. "I lived in a villa on the beach. My dad used to own the bar" he explained. He'd never been to Carmel.

'I take it she's bored in London then?' she asked 'Or is she here at school?' heh. she wondered f nikki was at hogwarts... but she'd not come in with Bradin. So probably not.

Bradin giggled. "She's a muggle. My dad remarried, then got divorced. I'm half-blood" he explained. "But yes she is bored of London. She's made some friends but she still misses sunny California, and her best friends. She's 7 and doesn't understand half the stuff I do" he added. He hated being the only wizard in his house, it was frustrating.

And then there was the question of Hogwarts, "Your first day? Ah, I think you'll like Hogwarts. Great teachers, the grounds are amazing," maybe a little too amazing. Considering he couldn't get out, "And most of the people fairly alright." Key word, most. Furrowing his brow, he almost asked who her ex was, but decided against it, considering Cody didn't know a whole lot of people.

Maddie made him want to know more about her with every sentence she said about herself. He she was so interesting. He could grow to really like her, but Justin stood in his way.

Bradin smiled weakly at the mention of Maddie's aunt. "I'm sorry to hear that. We have quite a bit in common" he replied. <insert awkward silence here> he thought to himself. "So is there anything you wanna know about me?" he asked. He was willing to answer any questions Maddie had to ask. And the answers would be the truth.

'It's OK' said Maddie, smiling 'OK, Bradin. Here is my first question: What's Justin told you about me?' she wanted to know this

Originally Posted by frankluva101

Bradin smiled. He should've expected that one right. "Well he says that you're beautiful, awesome, a great kisser, which I wouldn't be able to experience. And he also says that he misses you madly" he explained. O yeah. Justin spoke very highly of Maddie. She was all Bradin had heard about for the past few days.

'Only good things, then' she said, laughing 'Question two: what's your firstimpression of me? You think that stuff is true?' she had to ask that

Bradin smiled. "My first impression was Justin got himself one amazing girlfriend. Yes I do think its true. He has a good taste in girls" he replied. He really did think Maddie was cute, and had a great personality. "But it'd be wrong of me to say anything about dating you, or even thinking about dating you" he quickly added.
