Symbols in the clouds

[Zazuka Getathorn]

It was an odd time for Zazuka to be in a tree. She should have been getting ready for next class. It was rather hard to consentrate though with the new HoM professor promising to make the year intresting. Zazuka thought that she could maybe go to him for help on her homework but then thought better of it. If she went there would be seven others right behind her braking down the door to get in. Zazuka let it go. One again Zazuka was looking up at the sky from betwen the leaves she was in.

The sky was never a sorce of bordem for her. She didn't know what it was. Zazuka thought that at there had to be one time when she had to have been a bird and some of that must have sayed with her. Yet she didn't fell like getting on a broom in order to fly. Zazuka layed back on the branch she was sitting so she could have a better veiw. It wasn't until she let her right foot down that she thought that there had to have been some one on the ground because her black mary janed shoe collided with something rather hard but made a hollowish sound that could not have been the tree.

Needing someplace quiet to be where everyone was for once minding their own damn business Kat decided to take a walk. She'd stopped her regular exercise routine weeks ago once her fainting spells started. It was nice and warm outside and the warmth felt good on her body...she stayed so cold lately that this was a nice change of pace for her. She walked along the lakefront, it having always been one of her favorite places to go, enjoying the view of the sun gleaming off the water.

Suddenly out of no where something collided with her, feeling like something was kicking her right square in the chest. Whatever it was it had knocked the air out of her causing her to hit the ground instantly with a 'thud' and a screech, "Yeow!"

 

[Zazuka Getathorn]

Zazuka turned on the branch to see what she had hit. "Oh dear." She said seeing that it was fellow prefect and one of Andy's friends. "Sorry, I thought I was alone. I so often am that I have kind of stopped looking where I kick sort to speak." She said laughing a little to herself. Zazuka hopped down from her branch with a fair about of grace. "Are you alright? Do you need to go to the hospital wing?" She asked as she pushed on the bridge of her glasses. There was really little reason to do so but after all these years of not having to push her glasses back she still hadn't broken the habbit.

Zazuka took a quick scan of Kat. Was she naturaly that skinny? If she was then there had to be some health issues that ran in her family because in Zazuka opinon there was little reason to be able to see this kind of detail in a person's sillute. Then agian it was nothing that Zazuka needed to ask about. "It's not like your the lion with the waisting sickness." Zazuka said in her same dreamy cryptic way. She waited for Kat's answer on weather or not she needed to go to the hospital wing.

 

[Katalina Harker]

Kat, still clutching her chest, looked up and saw Zazuka. She knew that this girl was one of Andy's friends and she herself had even shared a few conversations with the fourth year Ravenclaw. She shook her head and said, "No...I mean no I don't think I need to go to the hospital wing. I'll be find, just winded me a little bit is all. Just give me a moment."

She looked at Zazuka and saw that the girl seemed to be studying her quite intensely. It seemed that most everyone was doing that lately and it was getting overly annoying if she did say so herself. Just then the girl said something to Kat which made her eyes nearly bug out, but instead she asked, "I'm sorry I don't understand...lion with the wasting sickness? What is that supposed to mean?"

 

[Zazuka Getathorn]

Zazuka gave Kat her sunshine smile when she heard that there was no need for her to go to the Hospital Wing. "Really again I am sorry." She said. The last thing Zazuka needed was to make an enemie. There where so much fighting in the school that if she didn't burn sage and mellowsweet in her room every few days and just breathed she would start suffing from headaches because of the gunk that clouded up her third eye. Or at least this is what she would have liked to believe. Over all Zazuka just liked a peaceful life.

To the question Zazuka gestered up to the few clouds that where present on such a fine summer's day. "I've started trying to read them. One can read tea leaves, runes and stars why not the clouds that seemed to hover over us watching everything." She said looking up again. After a while she pointed. "See that one that lookes like someone took a brush and painted it on the sky? I think it means fading. Like something or someone is drifting away from the rest of us. The one next to it has the shap of a lion's head or at least that's what it looks like to me. Since it's rare for a true animal to go against thier basic insticts I would only assume that it's refuring to a person." Zazuka said then tilted her head as if really studying the next few clouds.

"I could be wrong of course. I guess I'm one of the few people that actually like being wrong you know. I always find that if your wrong enough times eventually you get to right." She added incase anything she was saying meant anything to Kat.

"No harm no foul. Really, I'm fine," she said...it was actually starting to sound rehearsed she'd said it so much over the last few weeks. Kat looked at the girl curiously when she said she read the clouds. It was an interesting concept to say the least. She looked up to where Zazuka was pointing out a cloud that she said looked like it was fading and then to the one that did actually vaguely resemble a lion. "Hmm, it does look like a lion. Maybe it means Gryffindor will win the house cup" Kat said jokingly, but held on to that hope since she herself was a Gryffindor...a lion.

If Kat remembered correctly then the Ravenclaw girl had some sort of weird sixth sense or something...like she could read people or see the future or something to that effect. "So what exactly does it mean...or does it really even have a meaning?" She was curious now and wanted to know.

 

[Zazuka Getathorn]

Zazuka smiled wide. She did notice that the line sounded like it was a line out of a script but again Zazuka said nothing. "I wish it did. I would like to predict outcomes like that and from time to time I get to. I like it when things come out right for a person but more often than not it's like fate want us to earn our place with in the grander pattern that is the univerce. No, see that one under the lion and the waspy one? I would guess it means sickness because it has a sort of darkish undertone even when the others look like cotten. Oh but look there is love in sky too." She said smiling wide. She looked at Kat her eyes not judging or asking any questions. The star like sparkels always seemed knowing even though Zazuka herself would say that she knew nothing at all.

"It could or could not, it all depends on who's looking and thier state of mind. I would like to think there is meaning in everything. Even in us meeting like this with me digging the heel of my shoe into your chest so suddenly." She said laughing softly at the joke that Kat made though it had taken her a bit to get it.
