Zazuka was happy that she was helping with the V- day dance and that she was starting to hang out with Harri and Ellie more. It made her feel like maybe she could be a social butterly even if she did look like a colorful dragonfly. In light of all this she did miss her best friend, Andy. She hadn't seen her lately and was really starting to miss her. So Zazuka put a note outside of the Gryffendor commonroom that would pop up when Andy got there again.
Andy-
Walk with me in the gardens. I know that we go to diffrent classes and things have gotten a little hectic but if you have the time could you please walk with me for a bit?

Very truly yours
Z, your best friend always

Zazuka hoped that she did have the time to walk with her. They could laugh and maybe she could talk her into buying a ticket to the V-Day dance. She could tell her about the potions class they had just had and how she gave a profomence to the entire class. Zazuka looked up at the sky, her mind already working on how she was going to shape the story.[/color]
 
Andromeda yawned as she made her way out of the commonroom portrait, only to be met by a note. She smiled to herself when she recognised it as one of Zuka's. She so missed her friend, she had let herself get so caught up in classes and studying and quidditch practise that she had made very little time for anything else. She took the note and reading it quickly, she headed down to the gardens to meet Z.

She smiled when she saw her walking around.
"Hey you" she smiled even brighter, "I got your note".
Andromeda instinctively hugged Z, it was just something she did. Zuka was to her after all like a sister.
"Sorry I've been so bogged down lately. How are you doing?"
 
Zazuka hugged her back. It seemed like it was so long since they's seen each other that she put a little more effort into it. "I'm fine a little lacking in the dignity now that we've had mystry potion day in class the other day but fine. How are you?" She asked tiling her head. Her braid had the Gryffendor colors in it just for the occation.
 
Andromeda flicked one of Zuka's braids smiling at her.
"Exhausted all the time. Homework is tough for these subjects alot more than for the first semester classes but I love them then I have quidditch practise alot too. I made Keeper but it just means less time for everything that isn't school related. Sorry Z, I'll try to make more time for us. I promise" Andromeda smiled at her best friend she had missed her terribly and the only consolation she had was the doll Nebula that Zuka had given her for Christmas.
 
Zazuka laughed into her hand because she always felt kind of wierd when someone other than her touched her hair. "It's ok really. I've been kinda busy too with classes and helping the Friend Finder club orgnise thier dance and did I mension I'm trying to be a Hata Omaga sister?" She said exsitedly. "Congragulations on making Keeper by the way your an awesome flyer so there was no dout that you would make the Quiddich team." She added giving Andy a hug. It was at the early hours of the morning that she missed her Andy the most. Just after a parturly bad nightmare woke her leving the lingering feeling of dispare behind. It was at those times that she wanted to talk to her best friend even if where only for a moment. Just being around Andy made Zazuka feel more brave so she was so happy right now that Andy could come down.
 
"Wow you have been keeping busy and thanks" she smiled at Z, "I have a bit of news of my own as well". Andromeda looked about her and then smiling turned back to Zuka.
"The last full moon, I changed but I didn't change. That sounds strange doesn't it. What I mean is, I changed into a wolf but I was still me, my mind was in complete control. I could think and behave like Andromeda instead of a mindless beast. I've been taking the wolfsbane for a three months now, nonstop. I guess it finally took effect. It was strange but it was also really cool but a bit lonely as well."

Andromeda looked at Zuka to see what her friends reaction would be to this piece of news.
 
Zazuka gasped and smiled wide. The spark that was usually in her dark eyes seemed to quiver as thoughts raced in her head. "If that's true than... The wolf's bane potion could be the bascis to finding a cure for the warewolf bite all together... Yes, if I only knew more than I could probobly..." Zazuka then realised that she babbling more to herself than talking to Andy. This made Zazuka blush crimson. "Sorry it just something that I have been thinking about for a while now. I only wish I could turn into any sort of animal now so I could join you during the full moon." She said. Not only would it be fasenating to be with Andy during the full moon but she would also be spending time with her best friend and that even if she wasn't aiming for a cure would be all that Zazuka would need.
 
Andromeda nudged her playfully.
"Did you know that it took Remus Lupins friends nearly three or four years to learn how to become animagi so they could do just that. They were all unregistered of course and did it in secret. Wouldn't that be so cool though" Andromeda smiled, it would be really great to have one of her friends with her definitly on one of her full moons, then at least the cavern wouldn't be so ominous.
"If you were ever to become an animagus what animal do you think you'd change to?"
 
Zazuka thought about it alittle bit. Whatever Zazuka turned into would be small and fagaile like she was. Something with wings too since she was always in the clouds anyway. "I think I would turn into sime thing like a Sparrow or a butterfly. It would take me just as long to try and do it though so I wouldn't be able to join you until maybe third year." Zazuka said with a sigh. In her mind they didn't even have to stick around where ever Andy whent for her transformations. They could explore the forbidden forest or make trips down Broghtstone. Full moon nights could become thier nights of adventure. But again they would have to wait. "If you hadn't been bitten what would you have turned into?" Zazuka asked wondering if she had wanted to be an animagi.
 
[ooc -- love the new siggy and celeb]



Andromeda's face lit up straight away.
"A sparrow or a butterfly, so cute" she told her friend with a smile, when Zuka asked her Andromeda didn't even have to think about it.
"I wanted to be something with wings as well, I never wanted to be something grounded to the earth the way I am as a wolf" sighing Andromeda looked about her then at the sky, "I guess I always figured if I could become an animagus I'd be something like an Osprey or a falcon. Maybe I should find out if a werewolf still has a chance of becoming one, I'm already registered with the ministry anyhow. But how would you bring something like that up with your professor? Maybe I could ask my Head of House, he knows about the WW. What do you think Z?
 
((Thanks! I thought she looked more like what I wanted to accomplish with Zazuka.))

Zazuka looked up at ths sky. "That could be possible sense your body is already used to chainging it should be simpler for you but make sure you choose something that matchs somewhat with the wolf becuase there is a slight possiblity that the animals could conflict and couse trouble for you." She said pushing up her large glasses. Zazuka was always worryed bout her friend though she was sure Andy could take care of herself. It was sadness that worryed her. It could lead to so many other things. Zazuka skiped over small flower already starting to though most of the garden would be growing along something next month.
 
Andromeda smiled at Z, trust her to have put so much more thought into something than she had.
"I didn't even think of that but it makes sense alright. I wonder who I should talk to about it though? I guess I could go to the headmistress seeing as she knows. You see I'm presuming all the staff know but I'm still not sure, I don't want to go up and blurt it out to Professor London and give her a heartattack. Saying that though I think she might suspect something, when she changes into her cat form I know she is still technically herself but could she not still somehow sense the wolf in me?" She knew if anyone could understand any of the nonsence that floated around in her head it was Zuka and some how she would also be able to make sense of it for her.
 
Zazuka bit her lip in thought but then was distractred by a soft fuzzy head rubbinmg up against her elbow. She yelped then looked at her bag. "Jinx you scoundal!" She cryed taking the cat out of her book bag. He had grown to twice the size her was at the beggining of the year but seeing as he could fit in the palm of her hand at the the time Jinx was still a small cat. "Anyway I think that most of the staff should know or have heard something about it. Percotions would have been taken because what happened. eather that or your right and the animal insticts that she got while being a cat would have told her what you where but I don't think she has figured it out yet if she doesn't know. I would say that it would be the safest bet going to Professor Barker about this I will be going to her about another thing." She said with a sigh. Jinx had climed up Zazuka's arm and sort of draped himself around her thin shoulders. His golden eyes foused on the not quite human walking next to his owner.
 
Andromeda stood a step away from Jinx as soon as the kitten made its appearance. She had been scrawled enough by Bruins cats, the thought of fending off Jinx unnerved her a little.
"I will" she said to Zazuka after listening to her and knowing that once again she was right. Going to the headmistress was the only thing she could do really.
"What must you see her about?" the sigh from her friend had not escaped her.
 
Zazuka looked down. "My nightmares keep leaving lingering feeling behind but I still can't remember what they are. So say I walk into class one day feeling like I want to cry but don't really know what I want to cry about. Same with happyness or whatever feeling I get in the morning. It's really starting to get annoying." She said petting Jinx. After another stare Jinx submitted to the comforts of Zazuka's hand.
 
"Wow that must be wierd?" Andromeda didn't really know what to say to her friend, she had never heard anything like it before.
"Hopefully the headmistress will have some idea on what to do or what's causing it. Maybe you should keep a dream diary. I had one when I was about 7 or so, kept dreaming about my sister but could never remember the dreams when I woke up. So my mother got on to a shrink, a pysche and asked for hints on what to do with me, so she started leaving a note pad and pencil by my bed and if I woke during the night from one of my dreams, I'd write it down immediately".
She didn't know if this would help Z but she thought it might be worth a try.
 
Zazuka sighed. "I tryed that when I was seven. I ended up writing down things that didn't even make sence. Then my father found out and..." Zazuka made a motion like craking down a whip. "I couldn't move without hurting myself for about three days." She said with a sigh. The memory of most of her life was one big open wound. The good this was that it healing, slowly but it was healing. "But that was about the time that my nightmares stoped for a while. A little after comeing into school they started up again." She said thinking a little bit about it.
 
Andromeda watched her friend make the motion of cracking a whip and shuddered before putting her arm around Zuka's shoulders. Alot had happened to both of them in the last few months, she really hoped for Zuka being away from her family had helped her. Realising that she had people and friends who genuinely cared for her right here. If it was in her power to do so, Andromeda knew she would promise right then and there that nothing bad would ever happen to Zuka again. But a 12 yr old making that kind of promise was daft, but she would make it some day to her.
"What were those nightmares about? Or don't you want to talk about it? I'll understand don't worry"
 
Zazuka smiled as brightly as she could. "I couldn't tell you if I wanted to. I forget as soon as I open my eyes but sometimes, alot of the time lately, they leave behind a feeling. Sometimes no reguler feeling. It's like I'm in the clouds then again those time's I don't feel that diffrent." She said. That last part was a slight joke. She didn't want thier walk to be brought down by heavy feelings. She was lucky really to have found a friend like Andy. She was so brave and Zazuka felt like she could be brave with her around.
 
"Wow. That must be cool as well though well only if the dream is a really good one. Holding on to good happy feelings is always a plus" Andromeda linked her arm through Zuka's.
"Hey do you remember near the start of the year when a few of us came out here and did some really daft walks, that was gas. Was it you or Miranda who hurt themselves? Oh, wait was it me?" she giggled not quiet remembering if it had been her or not, she'd injured herself so much throughout the year it just seemed a natural state to be in.
 
Zazuka shook her head. "You where the one to hurt herself. Randa was the one to do a super silly walk that got all of us laughing. Where do you soppoes they went? Randa and Jessie and Izzy?" She asked. It seemed like more and more students they knew dissapered into this air. Zazuka did have to admit that days when she felt in the clouds because of a dream where a lot better than the days where she felt as if she would never be happy again.
 
"That's right I damaged my ankle" Andromeda laughed at the memory now, "I don't know, I guess not many children like being so far from home and for others it might just be that its too hard, nothing at all like they expected it to be. I hope I don't ever feel like that".
 
"We won't Andy. We've made it this far into our schooling. We can't give up when it starts to seem difficult." Zazuka said defenetly. What she really wanted to say was that she didn't want to lose her best friend to the difficutlys of school life or to something else.
 
"Together forever huh Z?" she smiled at her, "We'll have to write to Brian alot over the summer holidays. I'll miss him not being with us. Shame his parents couldn't let him even have a weeks break to come."
Andromeda kicked a stone with her shoe, would she ever get over her infatuation with Brian? Probably at some point, but for now it really didn't feel like it.
 
Zazuka sighed. "Yeah really he told me that he was always alone while at home so why they want him over so badly is beond me." She said pushing up her over sized glasses. Zazuka also had not forgoten her crush on Brian but she had gotten better at hiding it. She could talk about him now without blushing or her voice geeting meek. "But we will both write to him, right?" She asked with a bright smile on her face.
