"Talking, riiight. . ." Shane took a long drag of his cigarette and listened to Fred talk. "I've never been great at it. So, I don't know what to talk about. Why am I here you ask?" He nodded, genuinely interested now. He looked his age but he had never seen him at Hogwarts. Then again, he was a werewolf... He could whatever he wanted out here in the Forbidden Forest and not have to attend Hogwarts. "I guess the only answer I have is 'fun'." Shane smiled at this. Fun was always good. "I wonder around. I usually don't know where I am when I wander, but I just passed Hogsmeade not so long ago. I guess I was just waiting for something entertaining to do, . . . like mess with a Hogwarts student."
"Well, you did that pretty well," he snorted, coughing smoke for a minute before tossing the butt down and crushing it with his heel. "How bout you? I'm sure that can be an entertaining story." It certainly would. He could tell his jerk friends after they left him he nearly got 'killed.' "Did they change policy at Hogwarts? I don't recall cigarettes being allowed, then again I don't smoke."
"No, no policy change," he shrugged. "I'm a little, uh.... M.I.A., undercover right now. In other words AWOL." And why not? That school wasn't doing much for him. Curfew was just a word, like forbidden or illegal, that eliminated fun. "You seem like a risk taker," Shane said, wanting to change the subject. "Who's a werewolf. How'd that happen exactly?"

You seem like a risk taker. Who's a werewolf. How'd that happen exactly? Fred smiled. It wasn't the first time he has been called a risk taker. It is true. He chuckled. "Well, I am definitely a risk taker." Fred shrugged. "Life if funner that way."
He paused to breath in. "My fifth year, I was bit by a werewolf. To be specific that werewolf is my father. The father who abandoned me at 5, got bit sometime between then and and my 5th year at Hogwarts. He decided to share the pleasures of being a werewolf with me, because he wanted to continue his genealogy." He shrugged. It wasn't a thrilling story. "I don't really appreciate my father that much. I can't really blame him for my being expelled. I was pretty rebellious back then too." He stared off into space remembering all the things he did that justified his expulsion. He chuckled in a few spots and left plenty of room for anything interesting of discussion to come up. "Let's just say i made Peeves blush." He dropped his grass whistle and fiddled with his hands. He really had not much to say. "So do you like to play practical jokes?"

Shane wasn't expecting Fred to give him a story. He continued to smoke absently, nodding his head now and again. "Well, I am definitely a risk taker." Fred shrugged. "Life if funner that way."
"My fifth year, I was bit by a werewolf. To be specific that werewolf is my father. The father who abandoned me at 5-" Shane winced as if the fact had physically harmed him. "Harsh."
"-got bit sometime between then and and my 5th year at Hogwarts. He decided to share the pleasures of being a werewolf with me, because he wanted to continue his genealogy. I don't really appreciate my father that much. I can't really blame him for my being expelled. I was pretty rebellious back then too." Fred graced them with a silence and Shane stubbed out his cigarette against the bark of the tree, leaving a black blemish against the bark. "Let's just say i made Peeves blush. So do you like to play practical jokes?"
Shane handed Fred a chuckle, his mouth still smelling like smoke. "Well, if you made Peeves blush than I really have nothing on you," he said offhandedly, rubbing the back of his head. "That sucks about your dad... I'm sorry, I guess. It's all I can really offer." Fred's story really hit home for, in a sense, it was exactly what he himself had done to his own family. He shook his head. "Um, jokes, right. Yeah, some I guess. I mean, I'm not a total nerd who has his head in a book." he shrugged, grinning. "I like fun."

"Um, jokes, right. Yeah, some I guess. I mean, I'm not a total nerd who has his head in a book. I like fun." Fred smiled. They were similar in many ways. Both rebels, both avid about 'fun'. Fred smiled back.
"It isn't so bad being a werewolf. You get to do weird things that are nearly impossible for a normal person, like act like a haunting ghost in the forbidden forest." He shrugged. He was running out of things to say. He let his legs out and let them cross each other on a nearby stump. He drummed his fingers on the root he was sitting on. He hasn't really been anywhere to hear any jokes. He isn't a social person to begin with.
"Hmm. . .I got a joke that I once heard someone say. Would you like to hear it?" He paused. . .It wasn't a joke that he liked, but it would help the conversation a bit. "I don't know if you'd like it, it is a werewolf joke." He shrugged, he didn't even listen for Shane's reply. Sure he made sure he replied after he said something, but whatever he said went through one ear and out the other. "So. . .Who do you think are cousins to werewolves?" He paused for a second and just took in the air. It was a thing he liked to do, even before he was a werewolf. Take in the air slowly and relax. Now that he is a werewolf, he enjoys it even more. He can smell almost anything now.
"Give up?" He chuckled. "This answer is so cheesy, 'The What-wolves and When-wolves'." He shook his head, "It's a sad world we live in."

"It isn't so bad being a werewolf. You get to do weird things that are nearly impossible for a normal person, like act like a haunting ghost in the forbidden forest." "Hardy har," Shane rolled his eyes, chuckling. "I admit, it was pretty good. You certainly scared me."
He pushed the butt of his cigarette around absently, not really knowing what else to say. "Hmm. . .I got a joke that I once heard someone say. Would you like to hear it?" Thank goodness, he thought privately. Fred was saving them the awkwardness of a silence. "Go for it." "So. . .Who do you think are cousins to werewolves?" Shane thought about it, humming as he did. He really didn't know, it sounded like it was going to have an elaborate epilogue.
"Give up?" Shane nodded. "I give," he chuckled. "This answer is so cheesy, 'The What-wolves and When-wolves'. It's a sad world we live in."
Shane did laugh but mostly at the absurdity of the answer. "The What-wolves and When-wolves," he asked, grinning. "Wow, that's... Different." He thought for a moment. "Alright, it's not really a joke but it's a thought. We put in our two cents, but only get a penny for our thoughts. So... who gets the extra penny?"

"Alright, it's not really a joke but it's a thought. We put in our two cents, but only get a penny for our thoughts. So... who gets the extra penny?" Fred inwardly chuckled as he shrugged. This was something he would often think about. Being a werewolf who likes to wander gave him plenty of time to think about useless stuff like this. "I can't say I've thought about it, but off the fly . . . I'd say. . . Tax? Government has to get their piece ya' know." He shifted a bit. He didn't like to sit do nothing. They were just sitting and talking, letting the day go by which bugged Fred. He liked to move toward some goal or destination, that way his butt wouldn't get sore from sitting like it was starting to.
"Say I know we just met, but you want to walk to Hogs Head, or somewhere? Sitting can be a little bland." Fred made the offer verbally, but made no move to get up. He was used to freaking people out when he stood up suddenly. In most cases, he learned that the non-werewolf should make the first move that way they can't get scared of something he did.

(Ah, I'm sorry Miguel!!! D:!!)
"I can't say I've thought about it, but off the fly . . . I'd say. . . Tax?" Shane was surprised Fred was taking this seriously. He listened intently, smiling inwardly to himself. "Government has to get their piece ya' know."
"Sure, sure," Shane grinned, nodding his head. "Of course." Fred fidgeted a bit, prompting a quizzical looked from the other dark haired boy. "Say I know we just met, but you want to walk to Hogs Head, or somewhere? Sitting can be a little bland."
"Agreed," Shane said as he took the initiative to be the first to stand. "So long as you don't go jumping out of trees onto people anymore." He picked up a stick and started walking, hitting small branches and leaves out of his way as he did. He wasn't feeling destructive, just chipper. "So, what are we going to do when we get there," he called over his shoulder, holding the stick over his head.
