long awaited return

[Dannii Merrythought]

Dannii was practly running towards the lawn, Azerail was comming home today and Dannii coldn't wait to see him again. She had her hair and make-up done perfectly and had chosen to wear a black dress and sandles. Once she was at the lawn she sat down on the grass, then stood up. She couldn't sit still and started to hop around, she was so nervous, what would he think of her hair? Has he changed at all over the summer, was his family nice? What if they wern't nice to him? What if he had met another girl in Bulgaria? All these thoughts were running through her head and making her dizzy.

 

[Azerail Zhefarovich]

Azerail had left his things back in his dorm, and figured that he ought to go find Dannii. He had missed the Sorting Ceremony, for the trip was a bit delayed. For him, that is. His cousins had already arrived and well, he was the last one. He wore his favorite jacket that had some metal band on it, with a black shirt and black jeans. His black boots were simple and clean. His hair was neatly combed, and still black and red. He had to find his girlfriend. After what he had seen in that house, Azerail had to be reassured that she was even alive and at the school. Don't be absurd, she is here, he muttered in his mind. He walked out onto the lawn, and the first thing his green eyes noticed was pink hair. The face was very recognizable, but the hair threw him off. He approached the girl, Dannii, and gave her an odd stare with a gentle small on his face, "Dannii?"

 

[Dannii Merrythought]

Dannii was too distracted by her thought to hear someone come up behind her, "Dannii?" asked a voice she would know anywhere. She whiped around and came face to face with Azerail. "Azerail!" she exclaimed before wrapping him in a tight hug, "I missed you so much" she said in a fond tone. She had missed him, almost every hour or every day was filled with thoughts of him. She was so happy right now she could cry, she didn't of course, that would have just looked stupid.

 

[Azerail Zhefarovich]

Azerail hugged Dannii gently, and quickly decided not to tell her what he had seen at that mansion. It terrified him into having more nightmares about what he was seen than his adoptive parents. He sighed, and breathed, "I've missed you too." He stroked her pink hair, and it amazed him. He didn't have anything to worry about. Dannii was alive and well, and in pink. He pulled from the hug, but kept his hands at her waist. He needed to get a better look. To process the hair in his mind. It wasn't something he was used to. "You dyed your hair pink. It's cute." He laughed softly.

 

[Dannii Merrythought]

Dannii smiled as he pulled away from her put kept his hands on her. "Thanks" she said slightly embarressed by the compliment, "I thought it might help me show my diffrence from the other wussypuffs" she mumbled in an angry and sad tone. She smiled up at him "how was your trip? Were they nice to you? Did you like them?" she asked refering to the family he had met. She had a milloin qesions to ask him but thought that those were a good start.

 

[Azerail Zhefarovich]

Azerail gave her an odd look, and repeated, "Wussypuffs? I take it that you were sorted into Hufflepuff. Why don't you like the house?" Azerail himself had nothing against any of the houses. Then came the questions. Azerail recalled the trip. He glanced over at the Herbology greenhouses, "Well, I found out that I have a brother teaching at the school too. The Herbology professor... I have a lot of nieces and nephews, and well, the majority of them are older than me. But we consider each other cousins. And my mom. Well, she is dead. My dad is, well, he is a little off." By off meaning a Death Eater, then yes. Azerail restrained from rolling his eyes. "The trip was long. And the family treated me like my adopted brothers do." Azerail shrugged lamely.

 

[Dannii Merrythought]

Dannii sighed "I don't like it becase if your in Hufflepff the only claim you have to life is that your hard working and nice" Dannii said with distaste "I mean, Ravenclaw got the smart, Gryffindor got the brave, Slytherin got the sly and Hufflepuff got the rest" Dannii added. "that and i have no friends and a few enemys in Hufflepuff" added in a sad tone. once he started talking about his trip Dannii listened intently, "well thats good, and I'm sorry to hear about your dad" Dannii said with a small smile.

 

[Azerail Zhefarovich]

Azerail pointed out, "Just because you are a Hufflepuff, doesn't mean that you are just those things. I mean, Slytherin has a bad reputation, supposedly filled with purebloods that hate muggles and grow up to be Death Eaters, but look at me. I don't hate muggles and I definitely don't want to be a Death Eater. The house itself does not define a person. Only the person can define themselves." Azerail smiled reassuringly. Azerail paused for a moment, before responding about the last part. How could he explain Asparuh, his biological father? Azerail shrugged lightly, "Eh, Asparuh is just... Well, he is the stereotypical Pureblood, that looks younger than most men his age. I mean, he is a grandfather, and doesn't look it." Did the Zhefarovichs age slow or something? He did not know this.

 

[Dannii Merrythought]

(( damn it, i ment mom >_< oh well ))

Dannii nodded at what Azerail said about houses, "I guess your right" Dannii said. Dannii listened to the discription of Azerail's father "he sounds.... creepy" she admited with an apologetic look. "Well it sounds like you had a good summer" Dannii said trying to change the subject.

 

[Azerail Zhefarovich]

Azerail smiled a bit, when she admitted that he was right. Although, he really had no idea where it came from though. The words just came out. What he said about himself was true. Despite his father, he was not going to be a Death Eater. He refused. Azerail was no killer... Azerail murmured, "You have no idea. I am glad I'm not living with him. Just with my adopted brothers." He laughed, "Well, my summer could have been better. How about yours? Anything good happen?" Azerail was about to add in something, just kidding of course, but like the gentleman he was, he did not.

 

[Dannii Merrythought]

Dannii thought for a moment if she should really tell Azerail what had happened to her this summer, "well, my summer could have been better" she replied. "I met my sister and shes really nice, but my aunt died" she said in a sad tone, "my uncle killed her, and then tried to kill me and Aurora, but she bashed him in the head with a frying pan, so hes dead now too" Dannii said. She sat down on the grass and rested her head on her hands. "I still don't understand how he could do that to his wife"

 

[Azerail Zhefarovich]

Azerail listened, and well, felt his blood boil a bit. Someone tried to kill Dannii? Azerail muttered coldly, "Good, that man deserved to be in the grave for trying to do that." He watched her sit down on the grass. She had gone through a lot, and well, that makes two of them. According to Kaleb, if Kaleb's mom was there at the Zhefarovich Manor, then there would have been a fight. Azerail kneeled down as well, and coaxed, "There is always violence in the pureblood families I guess. My real mom... Well, apparently my dad killed her for giving up me and my big sister, Nataliia. The blond you saw when I left to Bulgaria." He didn't know much else about that family of his. He could read about it in the family tree.

 

[Dannii Merrythought]

Dannii leaned against Azerail "thats horriable" she said in a sad tone, "how can your family still stay with him even after he killed his wife?" she asked, how can you love someone, or at least pretend to love someone for years then just kill them on a whim she thought. I hate being a pureblood, I told someone I was and they automaticly thought I was in Slytherin she thought with a hint of anger, the idiot just judgedher because of her blood status, she was no better then some of the purebloods who thought they were better then muggle borns.

 

[Azerail Zhefarovich]

Azerail wrapped his arm around Dannii. He shrugged, "Happened right after I was born. And my mom wasn't his wife. It was his affair. Now his wife, Tsvetanka, wasn't a pureblood, but he tricked her into getting caught and being put in Azkaban and receiving the Kiss." Azerail wondered if there were any Mirayinovs left out there. Azerail stared at the grass for a moment, and murmured, "I don't know why they stay with him at times. I think it is fear, because he is the Head of the Zhefarovich family, and well... He controls everything. I don't know what he will say if he finds out that I am still living with Grezhen and Rakas." Azerail shrugged lamely. He rolled his eyes, "I have yet someone say anything to me about my blood type. If someone did, then well..." He laughed softly. He truly did not know what he would do if someone judged him.

 

[Dannii Merrythought]

Dannii shuddered when he talked about his dad, "I never want to meet him" she said in a half joking tone. "I can't wait for classes to start" she said pulling out her wand, "I'll finally be able to use this thing" she joked. "what was your faveriote class last year?" she asked curiously.

 

[Azerail Zhefarovich]

Azerail chuckled, "I never want you to meet him either." When she mentioned classes, he had to admit that he did not really want to attend them. They just seemed so hard. "Nice wand." He smirked slightly, and answered, "Probably Defense Against the Dark Arts. Shame we got a new professor though. Professor King seemed pretty cool to me." He smiled, and still could not believe the changes the school had gone through.

 

[Dannii Merrythought]

"Thank-you" Dannii replied when he said her wand was nice, she choose to think it was a compliment. "Yes, its a shame, I heard very highly of Professor King, but I think my best class will be astronomy, just like Hufflepuff it runs in my family, and I've always been interested in the stars" Dannii said looking up into the sky. There were no stars there now, but at night it was filled with millions of stars.

 

[Azerail Zhefarovich]

Azerail chuckled. “Well, I think my family is best in the Dark Arts, so I am glad that this place doesn’t have such a class.” Azerail flashed her a grin though, “Astronomy is a good subject. Though I cannot remember any of it, but the planets and stars fascinate me. They are rather pretty looking in the books.” He too glanced up at the sky. He wasn’t searching for anything, but maybe something more? No, everything he had was right here on earth, and that was all he could ever ask for.

 

[Dannii Merrythought]

Dannii smiled at him when he said he was glad the school didn't have a dark arts class. She planted a kiss on his cheek, "yes I'm glad too" she replied. Dannii nodded along when he talked about astronomy,and how the stars and planets were pretty, "yes there very pretty, but I think we have more beautiful things down here on earth" she said looking around, everything was in bloom, the begining of spring.
