Zazuka had taken the day to catch up on the latest issues of The Sandman she had ordered. She hadn't gotten the chance to look at them since exams started. Now that they where over she thought it was time for some mind rotting comics. She hid it behind an Astronomy book. It was still a bit of secret from anyone but the girls in her dorm who really didn't mind she read them but it was still A little imbressing. Zazuka was soppoed to be smarter than this.

The Brooding King of Dreams had just been killed leaving an hire in the form of a small boy he had plucked form the venful hands of the Furies. She had been waiting for Andy too before she got lost in all the adventure in her hands. There was still enough consioseness in her to make her hand spoon her lunch into her mouth.
 
Andromeda walked into the Great Hall with the two gifts in her hands. It was amazing how quiet the place was without all the students here. Smiling when she saw Zuka with her nose buried deep in yet another book, Andromeda crept silently up behind her. It was then she noticed that Zuka wasn't reading a school book at all but a graphic novel as Andromeda liked to call them, to others they were mere comic books.

"Hey I don't think I've read that one!" she said sitting down beside Zuka and placing the presents on the table. She tilted her head so she could get a better look.
"I didn't know you liked this stuff. Cool something else in common!" Andromeda smiled.
 
Zazuka snaped out of the book yelling "Mathew no!" then looked up at Andy blushing and closing the book. "Oh you read thies too? Comics rot the brain you know." She said. The last part was a joke. "It's the Sandman. Pretty old but it's still going and it's still good. It goes on the idea that there are phicial manphetations for things like death and dreams." Zauzka said with a bright smile. "What are the ones you have read?" She asked at the end.
 
"More wizarding ones I guess than anything The Witches Coven, Balthazar and the Orbs of Zhiagare. Quiet a few of those but don't laugh I have a massive passion for really old Marvel comics. My uncle has loads of them and I can't get enough. The Silver Surfer now he is a dream" Andromeda sighed for effect, "Comics don't rot your brain dummy lack of education does and these are very educational"
She smiled of course.
 
Zazuka laughed into her hand. "True but the Sliver Sufer is not Dream this is." She said turning to a page that had the picture of the main careicter on it.

"The brooding guy in the back not the girl that's Death." She explained.
Zazuka looked at her with wide eyes. "Marvle, you mean X-men and Spiderman and other like that? They got me though grammer school when I had no novels to read!" She said exsitedly. She loved to get lost in comics like that. She had never heard of the others she had mensioned but she would have to make it a point to look them up.
 
"Goodness he looks freaky doesn't he? Yeah, Spiderman, X-Men, The Dark Knight, The Hulk all of them... they are so cool" Andromeda pushed the two gifts towards her, one was well wrapped in a gift bag and the other was very loosely wrapped in silver shiny wrapping paper. Both had tags with her name on it.

"Happy Holidays Zuka" she smiled at her, "I've already put my poster up on the wall and put my parchments into my binder and Nebula has pride of place now on my bed, beside my broom 'Falcon' of course".
 
Zauzka looked at them both then attecked the box because she wanted to know what was in there before she had to guess what was in the other one. She found a treasure trove of candy. Zazuka squeeked. "Oh Andy this is so cool. I love jelly slugs!" She said taring the page open. "Nebula must look like she owns the place on you bed." She said laughing soflty.
 
Andromeda laughed as Zuka tore into the gift bag of candy, she was delighted she liked it. Andromeda knew Zuka had a massive passion for candy and thought these were ideal for her.
"Nebula rules supreme in the room not just my bed. I didn't want to leave her there at all first, convinced someone might take her but sure there's no one else about really".
 
Zazuka sighed. "It's really lonly in the dormatory without anone there but the bright side is that I don't bother anyone when I suddenly wake up in the wee hours of the morning." She said plucking another jelly slug and bursting it so it looked like she was taking out the inside first.
 
Zazuka laughed. "I know that would get some sort of reaction. Expirament sucessful. Anyway I will have some left for Christmas. If I eat all this now I'll make myself sick." She said in horrer. Candy was not as good the second time around.
 
"And we certainly don't want that now do we? I wonder what the food will be like Christmas day here?" she asked Zuka, imagining a huge turkey with ham and stuffing and all the trimmings, roast potatoes, mashed potatoes, carrots, brussel sprouts, parsnips roasted in honey, miniature sausages rolled in strips of bacon and gravy lots of thick gravy to smother the lot in. Hmmm, Andromeda's mouth was nearly watering now at the thought of food, she looked about her realising it was actually lunch time and she should probably eat something.

She reached over and grabbed some scrabbled eggs and sausages and some waffles. Her appetite for starchy food had quadrupled since she got here.
 
Zazuka thought about what they would have for Christmas too. "I sure the house elves will pull out thier best for Chistmas. And we will be sporting some of our new stuff really. I know alot of people give clothes for Chistmas." Zazuka said going back to what she had been eating. Chicken sandwiches had been set out too and Zazuka had been on her third before taking a jelly brake.
 
Andromeda ate slowly, she hadn't bothered to get any new clothes this year so unless her mother had off the top of her head decided she needed new ones, Andromeda would be wearing her usual. Her uncle Patrick said that she could expect some packages today by owl from her mother and Essie. Andromeda was looking forward to it, not the owl part of course which would undoubtedly be a nightmare but getting presents was always good.

"What are you wearing for Christmas Day then?" she was nearly afraid to ask, hoping that people weren't going to be making a huge fuss.
 
"Whatever I fish out of my trunk that day? I don't really know what I'm going to ware but I'm sure it will look like a took a dive into my trunk." Zazuka said. Her style wasn't really style but a combanation of things she radomly put together and it looked like it. Zazuka at the moment was waring pokadoted stalkings with a blue stiped skirt and a baggiesk swater over everything.
 
Zazuka shurgged. "It doen't really matter to me. Like I said I fish it out of my trunk and see what happens. The pieces themselves I though where kina cool. You look sporty and that's not a bad thing apperntly.
 
Zazuka laughed into her hand then finished the last of her packet of jelly slugs. "Are you feeling alright right now. I could walk you up to your house if you'd like." She asked seeing that Andy hadn't finished what was on her plate.
 
Zazuka shook her head. "I don't think your weak, I just think it will be easyer to deal with if you have someone there with you. Sorry." She said looking down at her shose. She was alot more realixed around Andy that was for sure but that didn't stop her from saying sorry every couple of sentences.
 
"Sure come on then. The walk will do me good if nothing else will" Andromeda moved away from the table waiting for Zuka.
