Settling into the new dorm

[Scipio Contarini]

Scipio had dragged all his trunk and back pack to his dorm,the day he arrived,but he had not unpacked his trunk.He needed to customize his dorm.He found time one afternoon when he didn't have any lessons and decided to open his trunk.He sat on the edge of his cozy bed,leaning down on his open trunk and extracting his clothes with were folded and neatly ironed.He put them in his side of the wardrobe that was shared by his dorm mates.He hardly knew them except for their names.He always slept early and woke up early and in free periods he was in the library doing homework and make-up work.

Once all his clothes were stacked neatly in the oak wood wardrobe he moved onto his books and other accessories.He pulled out a framed photograph of his parents and put it on the bedside table.He wasn't really fond of his father but he couldn't cut him out of the picture.He saw his old journal in the trunk.It was from 2019 when he was 11.He found it amusing to read.He had been so carefree and innocent.There were also a couple of entries where his father was mentioned.His father had been a nicer person back then.He laid his head on his pillow and read the entry of the day his father had thrown him a surprise birthday party.

 

[Zac Kuang]

Zac stare at a picture of him and his sister, he missed her so bad. He heard that Sally was going to be transferred to Durmstrang. A smile appear on his face, Sally was always pretty she was never ugly except when she was mad. Zac chuckle as stare at the fireplace in the common room, he didn't really care about what happen earlier and he wasn't planning to go and brag Veronica about it. After all, Sally was coming and that was the only thing that had been in his mind and that was the only thing why Zac wanted to stay in Durmstrang instead of being homeschooled.

Zac then stood up and leave the common room. He walk toward the stairs and open a room of his finding a lad in his dorm. He didn't know that he was going to share a room of his with a new boy but he didn't mind. He smiled at him and walk toward his bed and placed the photo that was neatly framed beside his bed. "Hey. You're new here?" He smiled at him and sat on the bed. The boy seemed familiar perhaps he was Sally's friend?

 

[Scipio Contarini]

Scipio saw a boy walk in.He didn't wan't to be rude so he got into a sitting position and said,"Yeah,I just joined the school this week."He ran his hand through his messy hair,trying to stop them from coming down on his forehead.He looked at the boy,and felt that he had seen him somewhere,or that he resembled somebody he knew.Scip was sure that he wasn't a Watanuki.A smile didn't fit on a Watanuki's face and Scip could tell this boy was going to be a pleasant company.

"I am Scipio Contarini."Scip said introducing himself.Just then he made the connection.The boy must be the brother Sally had mentioned.Sally Kuang was Scip's girlfriend who studied in Beauxbatons.Scip and Sally had stayed in touch through Owl post and Sally had told him that she might be transferring to dumstrang soon.He was eager to get a confirmation about it.

 

[Zac Kuang]

Zac smiled at the boy as he saw him sat. He was pleased that a new room mate of his was polite. If he was going to spend another year with Kyouhei, Zac would probably stay outside the room. "I'm Zac by the way" He introduced him self right after the lad introduced himself as Scipio Contarini. The name seemed familiar "wow you're one lucky guy" he chuckle after remembering that he was a boyfriend of Sally's. Since he didn't know much about him, he couldn't say that Sally was lucky. Zac's sister had mentioned about the lad ages ago but Zac didn't really pay attention.

"This is scary" He chuckle imitating Sally. He had missed her so bad even though he met her earlier in Summer vacation. "You're Sally's boyfriend right?" A boyish grin appear on his face. "She's coming here you know. However I'm a little concern about her safety here. There are lots of dangerous students here. Help me keep an eye on her??" He asked hoping that he would help her. Sally was easily offended and she was a little aggressive and he was scared if she was hurt physically.

 

[Scipio Contarini]

"Nice to meet you,Sally talks alot about you."he told Zac.Scipio remembered that Sally's brother was called Zac so he was sure this was him."Yeah,I guess I am lucky."Scipio muttered only guessing that Zac was referring to Sally.Sally was one of the nicest girl he had met.She was too sweet however to fit into the Dumstrang environment.Scipio had realised that the very day he had come here.He wondered how Sally would be treated and shivered.

"Yes you guessed right."Scipio told him returning his grin."I know she told me and even though I can't wait to see her again I am also concerned if this is the right place for her.However,a big brother and a strong boyfriend can protect her pretty well.But she is really going to hate the dark arts class."he said as he laughed.Sally was a very innocent type person.Scip knew that she would hate the lesson and also the school.

 

[Zac Kuang]

Zac chuckle after knowing that Sally told Scipio everything about him. "She did?" He pretended to be surprised. "I guess she's also lucky" He complimented the lad, he was pleased that Sally chose Scipio instead of a boy that he knew, Zac had never like that lad and if she was going to be with him, Zac would probably lock her in the mansion. But he was glad that she didn't end up with that lad.

"You should come over sometimes. If it's a long holiday then we'll go back either to Beijing or Tokyo well to our parent's manor but if it's short then she'll either stay in her flat in France or my flat. But I guess she'll be staying with me since we're both here" He chuckle as he took his shoes off and lay on the bed.

 

[Scipio Contarini]

"Thanks."Scipio said with a grin when Zac complimented him.He was happy that Sally's brother approved of him because he knew many boys had to face their girlfriend's dissaproving brother who didn't like them at all.Scipio had always know that Zac wouldn't be the overprotective kind of brother.

"That's a good idea you know...my dad is always very busy with work and my mum,well she is a Healer and she always has to go away for emergencies and stay at work till late.I mostly get bored during holidays and it would be nice to stay with you guys."Scipio told him as he thought of the possibilities of staying at their house over the holidays.He knew his parents wouldn't object because they were hardly at home and would want him to enjoy.

 

[Zac Kuang]

Zac smiled at Scipio, he was glad that Sally was with a nice lad instead of jerks. "Just wondering... Do you have a brother or sister?" He asked before throwing his pillow to the air and caught it. "My parents are always busy but at least I got Sally and we're always together so..." He chuckle as he eyed the picture beside him. He hadn't been seeing that picture a lot lately. He used to have a picture of Sandy beside his picture but he put it away since he asked Veronica to be his but unfortunately, Veronica weren't together so the picture of Zac hugging Sally replaced Veronica's and Sandy's picture.

"So mate, what do you think about Durmstrang? where did you study before? Hogwarts Scotland?" There were a lot of transferred students from Hogwarts Scotland and most of them were nice. But there were a lot of kids that were homeschooled and they were okay as well.

 

[Scipio Contarini]

"Nope it's just me and my loneliness..."he told Zac in a mock sad voice and then grinned."Nah...I don't mind being alone.I've always been kind of a loner.You know my dad holds a big position at the ministry and people my age usually run the other way from me,the rich-spoilt-brat."he told Zac sourly.Scipio had always wanted to make friends and he was always kind but people always thought that he had everything because his father was rich.They never realized that he had no friends.


"Dumstrang.It's kinda creepy but it's cool.My mum studied here and now she is a Healer but she was a pro at Dark Arkts.Not that she used them on anyone.It was kinda in her blood.But she chose not to go on the dark side.She home-schooled me."he told him.He knew that his mother had been kinda selfish to keep him to herself and not let him be with people his own age.

 

[Zac Kuang]

Zac chuckle when Scipio told him about rich-spoiled-brats "Yeah I know exactly what you're talking about" He tried to remember some friends. "They're like that because they don't respect their parent's money" It was true, there were a lot of kids who would threw away their expensive coat/ bag/ etc just because they dislike it. Good thing that he was never like that but he wasn't sure about his sister. He was sure she wasn't like that but he didn't know if she had changed. He didn't mind though, if he had to spend time with rich spoiled brat he had been in a situation where he had to be with them for the whole year. So he was used to it.

"Homeschool's alright I guess, a friend of mine was home schooled and well she's a straight T's" The only disadvantage of homeschool was that they couldn't socialize with other people. "You'll get used to it, just stay away from dangerous students. Sometimes they will attack the professor as well" He warned him, he had seen some students who were messing up with dangerous ones and they end up in st.Mungos without anyone knowing who did that.

 

[Scipio Contarini]

"I ran into the terrorists of Durmstrang on my first day but it didn't turn into a fight."he told Zac. Scipio knew that the Watanukis were not those who threatened but the were really dangerous.He made a mental note of staying away from them from then on.He didn't like picking fights but Scipio knew that once his anger was out of his control then there was no going back."So you do like Quidditch?"he asked Zac wanting to get to know him nicely.It was time he started making good friends because he would have to stay here for another two years.
