Hear me roar

[Elle Volkova]

Elle Volkova was restless. It was a cold, miserable day, and she had no idea what to do. Granted, she had slept in until at least midday, and would rather be at Durmstrang than back home with Lidiya the cliched evil step-mother. Elle missed being her daddy's little princess, even though she was fourteen, she hadn't been spoiled the way she used to when her mother was around since she was ten. Still having not made many friends, Elle wondered what the rest of her classmates got up to on a day like this. She wondered if anyone had planned any afternoon parties, but doubted it, and supposed she wouldn't be welcome to crash one anyhow. The young girl didn't mind not having many friends, but the major draw back was that she had to do everything by herself, and life got pretty boring at times. Elle threw on her red fur cloak and her heeled boots, and decided to go for a walk around the castle, making a mental note however, to not venture outside.

 

[Elijah Zhefarovich]

Elijah Zhefarovich did not have much to do today, just the fact that he had some time alone from the group and he thought that he would use this time to do as he wished and reflected on his life. As of right now, he thought that he was gay, and that was very much against the family laws. Well, it would be if he were to try to get married. From the luck that others received in his family, it might not be the best idea to even attempt it. Elijah sighed and he walked along the school corridors, avoiding going outside as he was looking out the window. He could see the cold and that made him miss home even more. He missed Bulgaria but he lived over in New Zealand with his siblings and father for who knew what reason. He loved Bulgaria and could feel his heritage slipping away with the time he spent away from his beloved country. One day he would return with flying colors. Elijah picked himself off from the wall and he walked down the stairs, knowing where his friends were at that moment and doing the best he could to avoid them. It was not a bad thing to want some time alone, was it? Probably not. Elijah did his best to be a good friend, and other times, he just wanted to be like a typical Zhefarovich. Looks intimidating to approach and overall mysterious.

As he was walking, the Zhefarovich lad looked over to the side and he saw some girl alone, but she looked like she was in his year. Elijah was not the type to confront anyone or talk with them unless they had something to say to him first. Unless he was with his friends, and then he would. Otherwise Elijah continued to walk aimlessly looking for something to do other than lean on a wall and mope all day. Well, not mope but look like it. Elijah ran his fingers through his blond hair and he continued to walk forward, wondering who that girl was that was actually stunning. The hair was amazing too. Was he thinking about a girl? That was weird. Shrugging it off, he continued to walk for a fair bit, wondering if he should get something to drink or not.​

 

[Elle Volkova]

The click click click of her heels was driving Elle insane. Although she had been there awhile, Elle was really starting to dislike the quiet halls of Durmstrang. Winter was definitely the worst, everyone was trying to stay warm, but Elle couldn't handle just sitting down and not doing anything. To say the girl got bored easily was an understatement.
It was unlikely that the young girl would take her boots off, even though the clicking annoyed her. Her boots made her outfit, it made her someone different. If they all had to wear the same fur coat, at least she could have some of her style showing. However, the sound of someone else's footsteps made Elle perk up. Elle stopped and leaned against a wall, playing it cool as a guy walked past, twisting her already curled hair around her finger. The brunette 'tutted' as the guy walked past her, not saying a word. Elle knew that it couldn't be something about her that turned him away, he probably had his own problems, or was blind and didn't see the beautiful girl standing alone. Tapping her foot, as the guy moved further and further away, Elle decided that she wasn't just going to stand around and wait for someone to approach her. Moving swiftly, Elle quickly caught up with the guy. "Hey you!" Elle called out, putting on her best smile. "Looks like you need some company - and you're in luck! I happen to be free at the moment." Elle said smoothly, as she walked up to the guy.

 

[Elijah Zhefarovich]

Elijah simply minded his own business until someone yelled out, "Hey you!" This made him stop in his tracks and not recognize the words or the sounds that the person made. Who would be talking to him? Several people might know of him, since his tall features could be recognized as a Zhefarovich. There was always one in Durmstrang at any given point in time. However he did not know if anyone would actually want to talk to him. He was not in the best of moods since his dad just did not like him for his lifestyle. His dad just annoyed him with that, and it was not like he could help that he liked some guys. He just had a different way of living than others did. For a moment there, he had forgotten that someone yelled out for him. At least he stopped for the girl to catch up with him, as he slowly turned around to see just who was trying to catch his attention, and if she would deserve it or not. And to her luck, she was pretty. It was somewhat hard for him to notice a girl since he was not exactly into girls anymore.

"You are free at the moment and I am in luck to have you as company? I think it should be the other way around, sweetheart." Elijah's lips twisted into a smirk, almost arrogant, but one that could be seen on his father when he was up to something. His rather was too busy teaching at Hogwarts New Zealand right now and did not really care one way or another. Looking down at her, he did notice that she was just pretty. Her oval eyes and dark hair. Elijah took this time to soak in her appearance as he waited to what she had to say about his little remark.​
