Gulp

[Zazuka Getathorn]

Zazuka stepped out of the tent with her purple hood on over the jacket that she had over a yellow corseted number that she had chosen to ware that day. Zazuka didn't often ware corsets because they where too binding and Zazuka liked to feel loose but today would be the day of the starting ceremony for the Tri-wizard tornament. She had chosen to come because after her time in Bleak Street she noticed that she had started to need to be saved from everything. She didn't want to be that girl. Her life before Hogwarts had been harsh and she had survived. Now it was hard but in a different way. She needed to prove that she was good enough to take it on without any help.

Zazuka took down the hood to the light jacket, letting her ebony curls cascade over her shoulders and looked at the Beauxbatons grounds. The very energy felt strange here or that could have been because she was so far from the place she had called home for so long. Zazuka gulped in a breath and took her first steps in a place that was not Hogwarts.

 

[Link Black]

Emerging right from behind the girl, Link let out a cold chuckle as he swayed towards her side shaking his head. "Don't tell me your afraid of this wee bit tournament?" he said in a taunting voice. The girl had look familiar, for some reason Link had remembered her from somewhere. He couldn't pinpoint were but could careless either way. "What's your name?" he asked her. If she and the other boy was the only one he would be talking to for the past few months, he might as well live in silence till he was able to see Irene again. Today he felt talkative, and the look the girl possessed was priceless. How can he not mock a little, even if they were from the same school, Link didn't care.

Zazuka put one of hand over the other and looked down. She had never liked Link’s energy even when they were back at Hogwarts. That and she remembered some of the dream where she had first seen him. She ran a delicate finger over the ring that Brian had given her before she left. ‘Give me courage B.’ she thought then turned face the fowl feeling boy. “Just a bit of Jetlag if you can imagine that. I thought it would be better with the way we got here but it turns out to be a bit worse. I just have to get used to being here before I’m alright again.” She said her voice perfectly pleasant and very bright. It had taken a little bit but she was Ms. Sunshine again. "Call me Zuka, everyone does." She said with the kindest of smiles on her face.

 

[Link Black]

"Hmph." Link grunted, as the smirk turn to into pale steel lips. "I wouldn't be scared, there are greater fear that lurk elsewhere besides this absurd tournament." he said as his hands slide at the cuff of his black blazer. Course he meant only one place, he be amazed if this girl ever cross path with what brought birth to darkness. "Zuka? What the hell kind of name is that?" Link smirked as one hand wander down into his pocket. He was looking for toitín‬, every so often Link needed a smoke to release any tension he felt building upon him. "Those it mean anything?" he continue to ask, as he found a toitín‬, slipping out of his blazer to press it against his lips. With his other hand possessing a lighter already.

Zazuka but her lip. "Yes I know this but I want to sort of prove myself. There are many things in this world and in the other side that can take you from your very shell and torment you forever. Your very spirit can be currpted from the inside out leaving with nothing but a rotting remenent that would sicken even the hardest of souls. No it is not the tornament that has got my stomech churning. It's the people." She said. She knew that some of her cryptics had come out but this boy was attempting to make fun of her. She felt that way anyway. If he wanted to do so he would have to decypher what he was making fun of first. "Zazuka is my full name. Zazu means bird in Swahilie while Ka is just an ending to make it sound female. My mother named me. One of the only things she was able to give me freely you might say." She said wistfuly. She remembered her mother and what a helpless woman she was. What a resilent woman she was too to be able to live so long with a man that hurt her so much.

 

[Link Black]

"Well aren't you a very sane person." Link continue to speak though his lips were now caressing the filter of his toitín‬. Taking a deep breath in, he inhale freely what made him less tense, when he was in denial of the events around him. Course he knew what was going on, and the reason for being here. The way Zak was speaking brought him to believe this girl have been through hell and back. "If that's what making you nervous than you are one strange girl. Whatever happen to you, humans should be the least of you worries." he exhaled slowly blowing the smoke at his side. Link wasn't sure when he was going to last here without smoking. This will be his last toitín‬ for a while, sneaking out off will be easy. Just a basic commands of apparting will do it for Link.

Zazuka gave Link a twinkling laugh. "Sanity is a relitive turm used for people that do not understand how another thinks." She said again in cryptics. She looked around and sighed. "There are many strange things in this world but if a human doesn't touch it, if a human doesn't see it, if a human is not involved with it then it is simply a matter that will faide with time. Man kind is the most profoundly mystiriose creature in the world." She said as she sliped into an even dreamyer tone of voice. Her stomach was starting to turn again and she knew it wasn't because of this place. "I bid you a good day Master Woods." She said then started to walk away, her dark curls trailing behind her gracefuly.

Link nodded, after a few drags of his cigarette, he flicked it away. And just before she was close to disappearing. "Good luck may I add, and do be cautious what you ask for." Link called out before he turned away to renters the tent.
