Here's where she meets prince charming
But she won't discover that it's him 'till chapter three. [/size][/font][/color]
The day was still young when Maxi decided to journey outside to get some air and to read. She thought it was the perfect day to be outside, plus it would be a shame to be cooped up inside when it was so nice outdoors. A soft breeze tugged at her loose brown locks as she made her way across the courtyard with a book in hand. The book she was recently holding was the famous story Beauty and the Beast. The story of the beautiful common girl who fell in love with the beast, who really was a prince, and broke the spell put upon him and his servants was one of her favorite stories. Sometimes she wished that stories like the one she was about to read, again, would come true.
Coming up to a tree, she placed herself on the ground underneath it, instead of doing what other people usually did, which was sitting on one of the benches in the courtyard. She enjoyed the shade of the large trees and the cool feel of the freshly cut grass. Things like this made her happy, even if she was in a depressing mood. She was actually quite surprised about her content mood, for it wasn‘t but a few days ago that she almost became a victim to some drunk bastard. She still had nightmares about it, even if the guy didn‘t get far, thanks to the man who had saved her.
Letting out a deep sigh and making herself comfortable, she pushed a lock of hair out of her now downcast face and opened her book to read. Now was not the time to ruin her mood because of thoughts, or memories, that were not comforting to her. She wanted to stay as happy as possible instead of depressed like she was when she woke up from the nightmares that destroyed her once peaceful dreams. Never had she thought that something so… ailing could happen to her. She was lucky that night. She was lucky Mr. Kendall was there to help her, to save her from what could have been the ending to her happiness. Yes, she did believe that if she wasn‘t saved, she would not be able to live life from a optimistic perspective. True, she wasn‘t an optimist, but she knew how to handle things better than most, except for that situation. The situation was one she wasn‘t able to process to the fullest. At least not yet.
Maxi flipped the page and began the book. Her eyes skimmed slowly over the words that stretched across the page. Each word meant something, and was important to the story. If you missed one word, you could possibly miss an important point in the story. Even though she had read the book more than once and most likely knew it by heart, she didn‘t allow herself to skip even the smallest details of the story. It didn‘t take long for her to get lost in the book and to become oblivious to her surroundings.

I walked you home most days
To beat the traffic after class
[/size][/font][/color] Arthur was bored. Not just bored, but seriously bored. He didnt have aq clue what to do and found himself leaning against a tree. Which little did he know had a girl reading beauty and the beast just the other side of it. BORRREEEEEDDDDD!!!!!!! he thought turning around and hitting his head against the tree, which actually hurt him slightly. "Shouldnt have done that" he muttered to himself then went back to leaning on the tree. I wounder where Sam is.. he thought, he hadnt made that many friends scince coming to Hogwarts but Samantha was one of them, or at least he hoped she was although there was something arthur was noticing about the girls of hogwarts, they were all hot. Seriously, all of them. He hadnt seen a girl that wasnt hot yet. Well he didnt find any of his family attractive, that would just be weird.. but every other girl was hot.
Arthur then got a sudden idea, I'll climb the tree! he thought looking up at it, it wasnt exatly the whomping willow so he figured he could do it with ease. He actually got over half way up it before the branch he was resting on snapped. Down he fell and then landed with a bump. "OW! YOU F.." He yelled then stopped himself as he noticed he had landed infront of a girl with a book, looking at the title of the book he smiled 'beauty and the beast' he had read that book, obviously he could see why Beast would want a Human body, having fangs and claws and fur sounded cool to him. "Hey" he said blushing slightly as he realised he had just fell out of the sky, or at least that what it must have seemed to the girl. I wounder what house shes in he thought to himself looking at the yellow she was wearing he would have to guess hufflepuff but that was just some random stab in the dark, she could easily have been any other house that just liked the colour yellow.

Maxi was pulled from the world of her book as she heard a small thump sound from behind the tree she was sitting under. She turned her head slightly just enough to see the side of what looked to be a male student out of the corner of her eye. Though she did want to know what he was doing back there, she turned her head back to her book and decided to ignore the sound and the student.
A couple moments later, she was just getting past the part where Belle traded herself for her father when she realized she wasn't hearing anything else. Her thoughts grew curious, for she wanted to know what the student was doing. Plus, she was expecting him to come around the tree and start talking to her, or something. He didn't even have to speak to her. She just thought she would hear them do something else. When she turned around she was surprised to see he wasn't there anymore. "Well that was weird," she thought to herself. She knew she wasn't going crazy. She had heard the sound and she had seen the person. Of course, anything could happen around here, being the type of school it was. A student could be playing a prank on her.
Hearing a snap of a branch she turned back around just in time to see a boy land on the ground in front of her. She was shocked at first and all she did was stare for the first few moments of silence, but she soon snapped out of it when she heard him greet her. She smiled at him as his cheeks took on a light pink color. He was obviously embarrassed about falling. She let out a light chuckle and closed her book. "Hello," she greeted back to him, her smile still in place, "Are you alright?" Though she already knew the answer, she still felt obligated to ask since he had just fallen from the tree and she had no clue how high he was.

[/size][/font][/color] "Considering i just fell from a tree.. im good i guess" he said although he was feeling slightly bruised. "Im Arthur Dalton by the way" he said holding out his hand so she could shake it. He was expecting some kind of reaction to his last name as it happened a lot, especially if the person he was speaking to had met one of the twins before they had met him. Arthur paused a moment to look at her nope shes not ugly he thought to himself tempted to go on some sort of hunt around Hogwarts to find a girl he found ugly. So far he hadn't even seen one.
"So.. you like the beauty and the beast huh?" he asked her with a smile, sure he had read it.. not the novel, the little kids book with pictures.. but it was the same story only simpler and quicker to read. Arthur liked the kind of 'childish' stories like the beauty and the beast, the lion king.. pretty much the majority of Disney movies he had read in book form, obviously if he knew there were films of them he probably would have seen them instead.

Maxi smiled and took his hand, shaking it lightly. "It's nice to finally meet a Dalton," She said with slight enthusiasm, "I've heard things about your family, but I have yet to meet one." She took her hand back and placed it on her lap. It was true, she had heard many things about this boy's family. Some were good, some were bad, but she wasn't going to let the rumors cloud her mind. The last thing she wanted to resort to was rumors. They were horrible things that ruined peoples lives.
"I'm Maxine Weasley," She said with a smile. Her family was also a popular subject around the school and her brother, Chris, was probably no help since he was quite the trouble maker. She loved her brother though, and always would no matter what. "You can call me Maxi though. That's what my friends and family call me." True, they weren't friends, but that doesn't mean they wouldn't be that way and she didn't really care who called her Maxi. It was her nickname.
When he referenced her book, she smiled and looked down at it. "Yes, I love it." She answered, looking back up at him. "It's one of my favorite Disney stories." She let out a small chuckle, but it was more directed towards herself. "I actually know this story by heart and have read it more than once, but I like reading it, even if I know what's about to happen." She looked him over for a moment, actually taking a good look at him this time. He was quite handsome, and the brown shaggy hair reminded her of the beast. Of course, this was real and that was a cartoon. She felt a slight burning in her cheeks as they began to turn a light shade of pink. Catching herself, she looked down hoping he wouldn't see it. She supposed this thought only came because she was reading the book. She hated guys, especially cute ones. "So, um.... do you like Disney or more in particular, this story?" She asked, not even bothering to look up again.

[/size][/font][/color] Arthur wasn't sure whether to be pleased that she had heard the Dalton name, or worried about what he had heard "So.. what are people saying about us?" he asked curiously, it was always good to know what people thought about you so you could use it to your own advantage, that was the Dalton way.
Arthur again wasn't sure how to react a weasley he thought to himself, he was fairly sure his parents would want him hanging around with weasleys as they were 'blood traitors' and he felt like he was in enough trouble not being in Slytherin. "Ok Maxi" he said with a small, Arthur didnt have a nickname so she would probably just have to call him Arthur or Arth which to him just sounded like the noise a seal makes.
Arthur just sat there listening to her speak not realy concentrating on her i should probably be all mean, maybe i'll be cool with the Slytherins and my parents if they find out that i bullied her or something he thought but then remembered Chris and decided not too as Chris was much bigger then him. "Its a good book" Arthur told her, he read pretty much any books he could find just to pass the time, everything from war and peace which he hadn't understood a word of to a book that contained the ingredients to a potion that causes warts.

Maxi shrugged as she looked back up at the Dalton boy. "Um, not much," She said, of course not telling the full truth, "A few names and the fact it's your first year." She didn't want to bring up anything else that she has heard. It was none of her business, and if it was true, oh well. She hadn't particularly heard anything about Arthur, just mainly the twins. A lot of people didn't like them. She had never met them, so there was no need to judge based on the rumors.
She studied him for a moment more, now that she was not blushing like an idiot. She wondered what he was thinking. His family probably didn't like the Weasleys, so she wondered how far their relationship would go, whether it be friends or turn into enemies. She hoped it didn't turn in the negative route, seeing as she didn't like making enemies.
Maxi smiled slightly when he agreed it was a good book. After that, there was silence, and there really wasn't much to say to his answer. She looked around for a moment before deciding to make simple conversation. "What house are you in?" She asked glancing back at him. She tried to place him before he actually told her. He was wearing yellow, but that didn't mean anything. He seemed pretty nice, so she didn't think he was in Slytherin, but people know how to act. She decided to give up on guessing right after those two thoughts, because it was pointless.

[/size][/font][/color] "Oh.. well that's a shame i guess" Arthur admitted with a shrug, he was hoping at least someone had said something about him behind his back. So far he was just another kid here, he didn't want to be a kid anymore he wanted to be a man and he just couldn't understand how people like Josh or Maxine's brother could get so much respect of people.. especially girls and how he was just.. terrible when it came to those kind of things.
Arthur smiled back at Maxine he hadn't seen her blush and to be honest if he had he wouldnt know what to do or what he had done to make her blush, he probably would have had to ask her why she was blushing which probably would have ended weirdly. "I'm a Hufflepuff, i know your a Gryffindor" he said with a smile. "Unless your like your brother chris and are one of those weird Weasleys that arent in Gryffindor" He added with a smirk then again added "Not that your brothers weird, dont tell him i said that.. the guys huge, he could take me out with a pinkie" he said exaggerating quite a bit but still Christopher weasley probably could beat him in a fight and that was enough of a reason for Arthur to avoid him.

"Yeah... or it could be a good thing," Maxi said, shrugging, "I mean, if there are no rumors flying around about you, you know people don't hate you enough to hurt you." She gave him a small smile and then shifted to get comfortable again. He seemed a bit disappointed, which she didn't understand. Why would someone want to be talked about? Rumors hurt people. Most of the time anyways. Sometimes they can be good for a person, but that was really rare.
When he said he was a Hufflepuff, she smiled. At least he wasn't a Slytherin. Not that she would've hated him because of his house. She had no room to judge because her brother was in Slytherin. She wasn't too surprised that he knew her house. Most of the Weasleys were put into Gryffindor.
Her eyebrow raised as he talked about her brother, but was soon followed by a fit of giggles. "I won't tell my brother you said that," She assured him, "Plus I don't think Chris would beat you up just for calling him weird." She couldn't imagine her brother beating someone up just for calling him something like that. He wasn't that mean. "And just because he's big doesn't mean he would use that against you. That's not like him."

[/size][/font][/color] "Yeah.. i guess" he said with a small shrug, he figured Josh and Beth probably had rumors going on about them but why didn't he have rumors about him going around, it was because he just wasn't... 'cool'. Arthur had found himself completely not fitting in anywhere in hogwarts, there were the tough kids which he didn't fit in with, the Nerds.. he also didn't fit in with and then there were the people who were neither and lingered in the middle who he kind of fit in with but just didn't ever know how to approach them.
"My parents would probably moan at me if they found out i was talking to a weasley" Arthur admitted to her, they would because Weasleys were like blood traitors and she was a Gryffindor Weasley which probably made it worst.
"Well good i guess" Arthur said with another shrug, he wasn't too keen on Chris, in fact Arthur avoided Chris whenever he could because Chris to him looked huge and he was a Weasley which meant he was a no go area when it came to his parents. [/size] With all my best intentions

Maxi let her gaze journey to another part of the courtyard. She wasn't ignoring him, she was just thinking. She knew that she hated rumors and she definitely didn't like them going around about her. There were rumors about her and most of her family. They were the Weasleys, therefore a lot of people hated them. At least, the people who weren't on the same side as them. She couldn't imagine why he would be disappointed.
Her glance snapped back to him when he mentioned his parents hating the fact he was talking to 'a Weasley'. She couldn't believe it. She didn't think that he was going to be one of those people to label her as just a Weasley and decide that it was wrong to talk to her. Sure, their last names set them apart, but that didn't stop her. She was going to make friends with who she wanted as long as they treated her with respect. So, now the moment was awkward. "Really," She said, her tone more neutral now. She wasn't going to get all pissed off because he had said that, but she wasn't going to just let it go either. "Well, how do you feel about that?" She wondered, "Are you going to stop talking to me now? Because your parents might not like it." The whole time her voice didn't change. She didn't want to show any emotion that might be trying to break from her at this moment. True, she hadn't known him long, but she did hope he would be different than the others.
Maxi shifted, now uncomfortable. She would not hesitate to leave if he had a problem with her. He played it nice at the beginning, but now she didn't know what to think of him. She would just have to wait for his answers. Maybe he was just stating the facts to warn her, but she wasn't sure.

[/size][/font][/color] Arthur couldn't complain about people not spreading rumors about him, it just meant he was yet to make an impact to the school, he could change that... somehow.
"What they dont know cant hurt them.. can it?" he asked her with a smile, he didn't have to tell them he was the friend of a weasley and if they did moan at him he would simply remind them that they are making josh marry someone who has muggle grandparents. That should shut them up for a little while.. although technically its my aunt and uncle making Josh marry... but whatever. [/size] With all my best intentions

Maxi's lips soon turned up into a smile again when he mentioned not telling his parents. "Yeah, I guess," She answered her tone being back to normal now. She really thought he was going to push her away when he had said that, but she was wrong. To tell you the truth, she was glad that she was wrong. She loved making new friends, and maybe this friend could be the start of something. It might just turn out to only a thought, but if they could prove that the two families could get a long, maybe they could resolve the issue. Again, it was only a thought.
Deciding to change the subject, she remembered that he had just fallen only a few minutes ago. "So... how is your bum?" She asked, half concerned, half joking with him. If she had fallen, she probably would have been laughing and crying at the same time. Pain tolerance wasn't a big issue to her, but sometimes she couldn't handle it. It might sound weird, but it depended on her mood.
After a couple seconds of waiting for answers she realized that she was talking to someone that she had a lot to learn about. She already considered him a friend. Well, more of an acquaintance right now, but it seemed it might get to friend. "So, tell me about you. Anything you can think of that you might want to tell me." She said, more interested now than she had been before.

[/size][/font][/color] Arthur had only just met the girl but he could tell she was nice and kind so he figured he had made a decent friend, even if his parents didn't see it that way. He smiled back at her as she smiled, he couldnt help but wonder what it was like being a Weasley, he hadnt got a clue what it would be like to be hated by a lot of pure bloods but then loved by a lot of half-bloods and muggle borns.
"My bums good" he said with a smirk, this was possibly the first time someone had asked him how his bum was, it was kind of a weird question and he could come up with so many funny answers for it but he decided not to, for her sake.
"Erm.. im Arthur Dalton.. im a fifth year, im in hufflepuff and im a seeker on there team.. erm... i like gummy sweets and chocolate." he said with a shrug he wasn't sure what she wanted to know so had just randomly stated stuff about him. "What about you, anything you'd like to share?" [/size] With all my best intentions

Maxi let out a small chuckle at his answer to her question. "That‘s good. Wouldn‘t want a broken bum." She said jokingly as she smirked at him. He probably thought she was weird now, but oh well. After what had just happened, she wanted to lighten the mood. She had gotten a bit upset, but at least she didn‘t lose her temper. That would have been bad. Not to mention it would have probably ruined any hope of a friendship. Plus, it would have been stupid to lose her temper over something so small. What she had done before was not even close.
She listened to what he had to say about himself. A couple of the things he told her, she already knew, but that was fine. She smiled when he said he was the seeker of the team. "Hm… big shot I see. But, FYI, even if you are any good, Gryffindor will still come out on top." She smirked, once again joking with him.
When he asked what she wanted to share, she thought about it for a moment. What was there to share about herself? "Well, I‘m Maxine Ginevra Weasley. My middle name was given to me after my aunt Ginny. I‘m Gryffindor obviously and I‘m fourth year. I don‘t play Quidditch, so can‘t say anything about that subject. I know it‘s mostly a muggle thing, but I really like the arts. Singing, dancing, and acting."
