Default The Whomping Willow


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.

Tay sighed and lifted her head off his shoulder, "You are imagining things, Maxwell..." She half chuckled, "He probably doesnt like you and want you to be with me.... if that may be the case that is, since he is protective. I mean he even told you he liked me as a sister and brothers always hates their sister's boyfriends anyways." Taylor glanced at him and half smiled, "But thank you for dropping your suspicions of him."

Maxwell frowned his eyes grew a little darker. 'When will she wake up and see this for what it is? He wants to steal her from me.' He thought and felt more sorrowful. "I guess you're right." He said laughing although his eyes didn't turn lighter. "You're welcome." He said smiling a little more.

Tay frowned slightly, "What is wrong now, Maxwell? Your eyes grew a shade darker in blue and if i am not mistaken blue means sadness...... right?" She hugged him.

Maxwell smiled a little at her hug. "It's nothing, I just feel bad about this. Being Jealous, I must seem crazy." He laughed now his eyes growing brighter.

Taylor laughed, "You dont seem crazy." She shook her head. Tay thought of something and slipped off the ring, she wore everyday. She kissed Maxwell's cheek, "Here." Tay held out the sapphire and diamond ring, hoping he doesnt know that they were real.... well just hoping he didnt ask questions, "Take this and keep it." She laughed and smiled at him, "Keep it, and remember that i like only you, okay?"

Maxwell smiled and his eyes began to get brighter from blue, to hazel to a very light brown. He blushed a little and a single happy tear fell from his eye. "Thank you, i'll wear it on a necklace around my neck, always." He kissed her lips and said "I'll remember it always." He said smiling.

Taylor smiled and kissed him back. She was happy to see that his eyes changed back to brown. Tay hated seeing anyone sad. Taylor hugged him, "Your welcome and good." She looked up at him in joy.

Maxwell smiled. "I-I Feel something for you, something i can't explain." He said his eyes growing lighter still, He cared so much about her and he knew without a doubt in his mind that she wasn't perfect, but as much as he knew that he also knew that he cared for her as if she was. But what is that feeling? He thought.

Tay looked at Maxwell a little weird. She wasnt sure what he was saying was good or bad yet... Taylor brushed her hair back over her shoulder when it fell down.

Maxwell smiled noticing the look she gave him. "It's a good feeling, I care about you, more-more than i've ever cared about anyone else. Earlier I told Damon that i have no fears, but i lied to him. I have one. The only thing that scares me is the possibility of losing you." He said with a smile, he's eyes now the color of sand on a beach.

Taylor blushed. More than he ever cared before? His only fear is the possibility of losing me? Both of those thoughts made her blush deeper..... but was he expecting her to say something back? She was hoping that he wasnt.....

Maxwell smiled as she blushed. "You don't have to say anything back." He said "I'm happy with us the way we are, Nothing has to change, We are perfect." He said smiling.

Did he read her mind or was it that obvious? She sighed at the thought of either one of those but smiled at what he was saying. "I"m happy with it too." Tay kissed him, "And i agree perfect." Taylor smiled at him.

Maxwell smiled and leaned back into his spot between the roots. "Would you like to lay down with me?" He asked. "And look at the clouds?"

Maxwell smiled as they looked at the clouds. "Thank you, for letting me be myself around you. I mean this is something i can't control and you've learned to like it. I'm grateful." He said pointing to a cloud that looked like a lop-sided crown.

Tay smiled, "You let me be myself around you so i do the same for you." When he pointed out a cloud shaped like a crown, she quickly sat up. Really did he have to have pointed out that one? Taylor realized that he probably had noticed that what she did was weird so she laid back down, avoiding looking at that one cloud and tried to look for a cloud not so..... that shape.

Then she laughed, and he couldn't help but laugh a little too. Keefer would probably find BOTH to be extremely amusing. But more so the Ravenclaw one. "The Ravenclaw one, I'm sure." Also, it was slightly inaccurate since he loved a Ravenclaw, not the entire House. But it wasn't the same, his Captain won't find it as amusing if they failed to play against Ravenclaw. Now he had one GOOD reason for wanting the Eagles to win their match against Gryffindor. Sorry, Lions, but the Head Boy had a new t-shirt to wear. "I will, then." He smiled. Since when did she get to decide what he wore to a match, eh? Bossy.

But..., "I think everyone knows where I stand, Ellie, regardless of what I wear," he said, as he placed one hand on the side of her face and then leaned in for another kiss. Seriously, though, he was supporting his girlfriend, for as long as she'd allow him to. It was obvious. People knew what was obvious.

"Thank you." He liked his present, really.

Stealing his jacket? He liked it when she got to wear it. There was one thing he still didn't understand, yellow and her hair didn't get along too well, at least not the Hufflepuff one, so...why did she like it so much? His hand moved over to her hair and so did his eyes, it was easier to think of next term when his eyes weren't on hers, "You can have it for next term, if you want to," he didn't mind, as long as she returned it...

..."I don't mind that you wear it...," but he was asking something else..., "...why do you like to, though?"


He should definitely wear it, then. And take a picture so Ellie could see Keefer's reaction. Heh. So he'd wear it? "Good. And let me know how amusing he finds it." It should be a most interesting story, yeah? Unless Keefer doesn't even notice...

Nah, he had to.

Then Treyen had his hand on her face and they kissed and she almost missed what he'd said.

But Ellie was still able to catch his sentence, and respond when he pulled away. "Yeah, but showing it is better." Showing was always better, in any circumstance.

So he DID like them? Good. "You're welcome," she grinned. But just in case, "You don't have to wear them, you know." She wouldn't be offended. "Though you're definitely wearing the Ravenclaw one for the matches." Hers and the Championship. Cause he'd already said he would.

Actually...no, she couldn't. "Then you'd be jacket-less." Probably not. He probably had another jacket. "And anyway, it's yours." She gave it to him. So she wanted him to have it.

She...wasn't expecting him to ask that. But...whatever. "Well, I don't own any yellow, otherwise." None. She didn't look good in yellow, that's why. Also why that shirt was a brilliant invention. Because she'd support Hufflepuff without being overwhelmed with the yellow. "Besides," here's where she blushed a bit, "It's yours. It smells like you."

Maxwell smiled at what she had said. Then noticing her sitting up he said "Is everything ok? Could you not see the cloud i was pointing out?" he asked.

"Yeah i am okay.... i just... ummm" i need an excuse.... ummmmm....... "I just felt something crawl across my arm." She forced a blush to come to her cheeks and faked a sheepish grin.
