Thread: Brad and Sib
Who: Brad and Siobhan
What: Brad and Sib have their date!
When:Starting around 8pm friday oct. 8th
Where: Gryffindor house then astronomy tower.
Rating: PG
Status: Incomplete

Brad knew he had to make this date epic, because chances where if he didnt there was not going to be a chance for another date. Not because of the fact that Siobhan was a horrible person or anything like that, he just knew that she would get bored with him if he did not challenge her and make sure that she had fun. Siobhan was the type of girl that did not sit idle in life, Brad liked that about her. He hoped his plan worked out, and that she liked the date he was going to take her on. After all his hype he had to live up to it or be teased no doubt. Brad knew Sib would not be cruel but he would certainly not be as impressive as he made himself out to be. With everything set up where he wanted it and the food he was planning on bringing packed up for him to grab quickly Brad went and got himself cleaned up. He put on a pair of jeans and a t-shirt before tossing over a sweater just in case it got cool through out the night. With a final splash of cologne Brad grabbed the bag of snacks and food he had packed and tossed it over his shoulder. He had headed up to the astronomy tower beforehand and set up their blanket and the fake campfire he was going to use, though it was not lit. He was not dumb enough to leave something like that unattended.

With a bounce in his step Brad headed down the stairs of the boys dorm, a soft whistle on his lips as he made his way toward the girl’s dorm and headed up the stairs to knock on Siobhan’s door. He had not given her any details as to just where they were going but he had given her a time when to expect him. After learning his lesson about being late to the party he was not going to be late this time around, though he was sure not to be too early and come off as a dork showing up way too early. Knocking on her door Brad continued to whistle softly before glancing up and down the hallway as well as a little bit of fidgeting with his shirt and his wand in his pocket while he waited for her to answer; despite his best efforts his nerves were starting to niggle at him.

Brad managed to sneak a few glances here or there to Siobhan while they tried the third time to toast their marshmallows correctly. But they were barely enough to really be much of a look since he quickly looked back to his marshmallow. This time around the whole process went a hell of a lot better then his first try. Once they had their treats ready they could turn to each other and talk as they ate. His marshmallow was ready and Brad pulled it back to place it on top of the chocolate; demonstrating just how to slide the marshmallow off without having to get your fingers all stick. "It is definitely a beauty of a job. A perfect marshmallow if you ask my opinion."

Brad watched Siobhan make her s'more before she teased and produced one with her wand. "You're right where is the fun in THAT? Where is the pleasure of making you own, the pleasure of sitting out here by this wonderful fire under these beautiful stars?" Smirking brad held up his s'more as if to propose a toast. "To good treats with amazing people." Once she had her s'more Brad waited until Sib took her bite, his own bite coming at the same time as he watched her reaction.

"I can kind of see why muggles don't mind not having magic," she mused with a smile. Siobhan knew some of them probably wished they had some, but she'd met a lot who didn't care about that stuff. It was amazing how many things they had figured out how to do without magic; things wizards were still working on in some ways. She was proud when Brad confirmed her though about the result of her final toasting. It wasn't a competition, but Sib always thought in those terms. Not that she was going to rub in his face that she thought hers had won. She was just happy they both had finally succeeded in their task and could now get to the good part: eating.

Holding her s'more up to Brad's, she smiled as she touched hers to the edge of his in toast. "Here here," she confirmed, giving him one more smile before she bit into the treat. It only took a few seconds before the taste hit her tongue, and Siobhan was instantly smiling broadly even as she chewed and swallowed. "Holy! Merlin, that's delicious!" Taking another bite eagerly, it was obvious she loved the s'more just by the look on her face and the way she went at it excitedly. "The heat of the marshmallow like melts the chocolate and blends it all together! It's...it's brilliant," she exclaimed after another few bites of obvious enjoyment. "Can we make more?" Sib's mouth was full as she spoke the request, and she instantly looked sheepish as she covered it and gave Brad a hopeful smile.

"They can get along quite well." Brad smiled playfully at Siobhan. Up until he received his hogwarts letter Bradley was a muggle, living a life without magic. And it most definitely was not a bad life. He loved that he had magic now, or rather he knew how to use it. He always had it but it was dormant because he did not have the proper training to use his skill. Brad was proud of what he was, he was proud that his parents were muggles. Even being born of two people who knew no magic Brad was a talented wizard; and that was not cockiness talking. Brad believed strongly that muggle borns could be just as amazing as any pureblood witch or wizard. So he was definitely glad when Siobhan was having so much fun making s'mores. She never gave off the image to him that she cared about blood status so of course he did not have any issues with her in that department.

In fact he did not have any issues with her period. Brad love everything he learned about Siobhan, and he was learning more tonight as they opened up to each other. Toasting their s'more to each other Brad watched Sib's expression and was not disappointed as it blossomed to that happy one. He had a nice big bite of his own s'more and was chewing as he nodded a bit. "Told you. Amazing aren't they?" Taking another big bite Brad managed to get marshmallow on his chin as he laughed softly, that cute sheepish look making him smile. "Of course we can make more, i brought a lot of supplies." Brad nudged the bag to show that there was another bag of marshmallows as well as another package of chocolate bars inside, even a few sodas were in there as well to help wash a few things down. He had to add muggle soda's with their muggle treats tonight.

Siobhan was glad that he didn't take her words the wrong way. She was not some purist git who thought muggles were a waste of space and all muggleborns were therefore useless. In fact, she was quite fascinated by all the things muggles could do. She wasn't one to obsess over their technology or inventions, nor did she know a whole lot outside of what her mates told her, but she still found them pretty awesome. Naturally she knew that Bradley was a muggleborn, but he was one of the best talents in his year. He definitely had a knack for spells, as she'd seen on occasion, and he was shaping up to be a good duelist she'd been told. Blood status meant nothing, it was the person on the inside that counted in her eyes. "I can see that. We wizards don't know what we're missing."

Winking playfully, she couldn't help but giggle as he toasted her s'more. Sib found everything she was seeing from him adorable, and it was really just furthering the attraction she felt. She wasn't an overly guarded person, but Brad made her feel more comfortable than a lot of guys she'd dated; save for James, of course. Her eager bite into the s'more was definitely spurred on by having to wait so long for this supposed amazing treat, and it definitely didn't disappoint. Siobhan wasn't faking her obvious enjoyment as she exclaimed in excitement over the delicious taste. It all melded together brilliantly, and she couldn't help the eagerness as she took several more bites. Talking around food wasn't ladylike, but she was just too excited to think of proper manners right now.

"Brilliant! You are my new favorite," she exclaimed as Brad told her there was plenty left to make more. Seeing the marshmallow on his chin that he hadn't realized yet, she smiled and reached out to wipe it away with one slender finger. "Somebody is getting all messy," she teased, not knowing she had some chocolate on the side of her mouth herself.

Some might have gotten offedned by Siobhan's words and just how they wounded. She did not say them to insult Muggles and muggle born. Brad knew she had nothing wrong with them, just like most of the students in their house did not have any issues. Brad was proud of who he was and nobody would put his heritage down, though he knew he did not have to worry about that around Sib. She was fun and playful and she was sweet as well. Brad was seeing that sweetness now. After their first marshmallow mishap they did a lot better this time around. When they bit in to their treats Brad let out a little bit of a sigh, the treat just as delicious as he remembered it to be. Sib's reactions was perfect, the best he could hope for and he could not help but beam happily when she exclaimed about how amazing it was.

"I am glad you think so. I don't know what I would do if you hated it." Brad took her like for the treat as praise for his idea for this date but he was not going to be mr cocky about it all. He was having too much fun for any of that to slip in to their evening now. He was definitely glad that he had packed extras, even though they had not gone through the amount in the packages he had set out on the blanket. he could not help but blush when she said he was her new favorite. "Thank you.....i rather fancy you." This time his cheeks deepened a darker shade of red; her hand coming to brush away marshmallow drawing a laugh from him. "I could say the same for you." Reaching over Brad gently brush his thumb at the corner of Sib's mouth, swiping away the chocolate and showing it to her.

"I'm sure you would have survived, or thought of something else," she reassured him with a smile. Siobhan was definitely realizing how much he liked her, and she saw that he had tried very hard to impress her tonight. "Even if I had hated it, the company would have more than made up for my dislike." Giving Brad a genuine smile, she continued to enjoy her s'more with obvious childlike wonder. She was glad he had brought extras, since she wasn't sure she could stop at just one. They were small so Sib used that to help justify her instant addiction. It was quickly becoming apparent that saying yes to Brad and listening to her gut had been the right decision. All doubts about liking him and whether it was genuine were gone now. Siobhan was positive she really liked this sixth year, and was liking him more and more the longer they hung out.

His confession in response to her playful words caught her off guard, but not in a bad way. Hearing Brad say he fancied her sent a wash of warmth over her skin, and she couldn't help the blush that flamed to her cheeks at the words. Sib felt a bit like a silly school girl with a crush, but she didn't really mind knowing they were on the same page. As she reached out to wipe the marshmallow from his chin, she couldn't help but giggle as Brad returned the favor and took care of the chocolate she hadn't noticed was on her mouth. "Well I guess so! Though...I don't think we should waste chocolate!" Smirking, she leaned forward, taking plus lips to encircle his finger and suck the chocolate away slowly before she sat back again. "I'll have to be more careful next time, huh?" she asked, smiling as she watched for his reaction.

"Im sure I could have....but...to be honest I hinged on this working." Brad allowed his cheeks to blush, there was really no point stopping the flush of color now as they teased a bit more intimately. Before he could hide it behind his cocky response but not now; brad did not want to hide behind that all the time. "I had this idea to show you s'mores and just...have a nice evening out here. So I was hoping you liked them as much as I do." Brad poked at the fire with his stick, burning the rest of the marshmallow off and preparing it for another marshmallow since they both had eaten the rest of their s'mores rather quickly.

He continued with confessions, saying he fancied her before he had a chance to talk himself out of the words and it had worked out well because Siobhan did not react badly. In fact Brad was sure he saw some color flash to her cheeks. Brad was glad he told her that he liked her, just in case she did not get that idea just yet. He definitely had a crush on Siobhan and Brad was not going to pretend he didnt; perhaps behind honest would help his chances. Sib reached and wiped off Brad's face once more, her touch sending a spark of electricity over him as he smiled and returned the favor to wipe the chocolate from her mouth. "No we certainly should not." Before Brad could do anything about the chocolate Sib was taking care of it, drawing his finger in to his mouth once more; this time a soft barely audible gasp slipped from his lips. "If you wish....I don't mind helping you clean up..."

The flush to his cheeks was really too cute. Siobhan couldn't believe she was making him blush so much. They were both rather confident, so opening up this way and being genuine was a bit new. She wasn't used to dropping the ego, though hers wasn't as big as Brad's. Tonight they were letting all that go and it was incredibly relieving. "It is a wonderful idea. I love it and I love s'mores. You did well," she mused with a smile. Seeing him set up the sticks for more marshmallows sparked her excitement, as Sib was eager for another. She had practically devoured the first, in less than ladylike fashion, and now she was ready to have a second. She kind of hoped either she or Bradley made another mistake considering how amusing their first attempts had been.

As he put her own marshmallow on the end of the stick, she couldn't help but blush a little herself when he confessed to having a crush on her. Sib knew it took a lot to admit that kind of thing, especially to someone older. She was definitely that elusive and untouchable sort of girl, though she teased about more than she actually took part in. The honesty didn't go unnoticed, though she was distracted when Brad showed her the chocolate she'd missed. It was another impulse to suck it off his finger, and she immediately didn't regret it as he gasped softly. Pulling back, Siobhan just grinned as she turned half of her attention to the marshmallows. "Well. So long as I know I have your help if I need it," she mused, sparing him a glance so he could see the smile on her lips.

Brad gave up on hiding the blush on his cheeks, it was his genuine reaction and he wanted Siobhan to see those types of things from him. It made him more human to see that she could make his cheeks flush. Not that he was not human before of course but behind that strong front and ego there was a real person whom was more then just the cockiness. While Brad definitely stood his ground and had courage about him there was a side of him that could blush in the situation and with the right person. Sib was definitely the right type of person. The intimacy of their date location definitely helped break down any barriers as well. "Thank you. I am glad." He could have made some comment about how he knew he was going to do well because he was that awesome but it did not fit the mood now with everything they had already shared.

Brad made sure to melt the rest of the marshmallow off of his stick as well as Sib's before reaching for two more. This time he made sure to break up the chocolate and crackers and set them out before hand so they would be ready before they toasted their marshmallows. After his confession Brad focused on his marshmallow for a few moments, making extra sure it was pushed down properly on the stick as not to have another mishap. Her way of removing the chocolate from his finger surprised him but in a good way; a good amount of heat washed over him after that actions and brad was silent for a few moments until he regained his composure again. Her grin caused him to grin while he held his marshmallow toward the fire again. "Of course. You will always have my help when needed. It would be my pleasure."

"See I'm not so scary am I? Just a regular girl," she teased with a smile, bumping his shoulder playfully for effect. Siobhan knew she was a regular girl before, but she definitely had created a reputation. She liked being elusive, liked being the hard to get girl that everybody wanted. It was a lot easier than being vulnerable, though she had nothing against opening up and being herself. She simply was rather unable to be tamed in the eyes of the other students, and she could tell Brad had been a bit nervous at first. That was flattering, but she was glad he had turned out to be more than just a typical cocky Gryffindor. While that was intriguing and attractive to Sib, she valued a little more substance too. The location was perfect for a little intimacy, and they were both letting the egos down for a bit. It would never go away completely, but she was glad to see the Bradley behind everything else.

As she let her thoughts wander, half of her attention was on him while he set up the next round of s'more makings. Taking her stick from him once the chocolate was cleaned off, Sib started to toast it as if she hadn't just done something incredibly enticing. "That is good to know. Us Gryffindors have to stay together," she said with a smile, though she got the feeling Brad might have had a bit more meaning behind those words. A few minutes of companionable silence fell as they let the fire do its job, but of course Siobhan O'Callaghan couldn't stay quiet for long.

"So tell me about your family. What're they like?" She wasn't really meaning the whole muggle lifestyle thing, but certainly welcomed Brad to tell her that sort of thing if he felt comfortable doing so.

"Siobhan, there is nothing regular about you and that is what I like about you." The way Brad said regular did not make it sound like a bad thing, and the fact that he was smiling sweetly at her as he said it added to the fact that he meant that definitely as a compliment. Brad was not about to make a dumb mistake and say something rude to Sib, not when things were going as well as they were going now. This was not how Brad expected the night to go, not because he thought she was oh so horrible that she was going to be nasty to him. Brad just was not sure how he was going to stand up; clearly he was doing better then he thought. He and Sib were opening up to each other; seeing sides they had not revealed in their teasing.

The silence fell on them but it was no uncomfortable as Brad set up the rest of their s'mores items. He got it all set and ready for when they had their marshmallows all toasted up and ready to get on the set up sandwiches. Brad didnt mind the silence in fact, it was just nice to sit here with Siobhan. As she asked about his family Brad's attention turned back to her as he smiled; not many people asked about his family. Not many wanted to know. It surprised him thaty she had asked.. "My family? They are......interesting."
