Henry was sitting out on the lawn looking towards the Hogwarts tents. He had seen their students putting there names in the goblet, two boys and a girl. Henry at least wanted to get to know one of them, they seemed less intimidating then the Drumstrang students. He also wanted to know how they were going to live in tents, being muggle born after all the only tents he had seen were rather... uncomfortable. He shrugged it off however, there must have been something magical about them. Henry looked around the grounds, everyone seemed to be buzzing with excitement wanting to know who the champions would be. I know I'd get killed off within the first five minutes, I hope no one dies... he thought to himself. Henry sat their thinking about who was most likely to be chosen from his school completely forgetting why he had come out on the grounds in the first place.
 
Zazuka still could not believe she was at Beauxbatons. It was taking her a little more than she expected to think that she would have been picked to come here. She placed a hand on her head and breathed. Her third eye was acting up out of nerves. She smoothed out the pulses with a sigh then startred to walk around. She didn't know if she could get along with many of the Drumstran students even though she had learned to never judge by apperence but they seemed like the most fearce. Her purple cloak and bright yellow skirt seemed to glimmer in the sunlight as she took carful steps forward. She spotted a boy that she had not come here with. She walked over hoping to make at least one friend at Beauxbatons. "Hello there." She said almost meekly. "Enjoying the events?" She asked with a large friendly smile on her face.
 
Henry jumped a little as a voice crashed his train of thought. He looked up at the girl trying to think of what she said, something about hello, "Hey," he replied giving her a smile. Henry looked at her outfit, and loved it, he always had had a soft spot for fashion. Then he remembered she had asked something else, "Oh uh yeah. Love the outfit by the way. It looks really good on you" he added standing up so he was no longer looking up at the girl but down, he was rather tall. "I'm Henry, Henry Dunstan," he introduced him self sticking out his to shake hers. They were supposed to respect and be polite the students from the other schools, that had basically been drilled into there heads.
 
Zazuka laughed into the tips of her left fingers while she used the right to shake his hand. "Thank you. My friends always said that I could pull off Odd really well." She said as a light joke. She was never the type to be serious for a really long time because it wasn't in her nature to stay on one subject for too long. "Zazuka Bones. Zuka to my friends and just Z to those closest to me." She said then beamed her sunshine smile at the boy. She was shy by nature but she covered it up with smiles and kindness hoping for kindness back.
 
Henry's heart rate quickened as she giggled, it was the most musical sound he had ever heard. What the hell is this? Am I getting sick? he wondered putting his hand up to his chest to try and slow it down before realizing how silly he must have looked and quickly stuffed his hand in his pockets. "Well Zazuka, how are you liking Beauxbatons so far?" he asked trying to make conversation. Henry would be more then willing to show her around, after all he loved the place and over the years had come to memorize the place, he wouldn't be surprised he he could walk around it blindfolded.
 
Zazuka put her fingers to her lips again when she saw that Henry was measuring his pulse. She had a clue about what was happening to him but if he could not figure it out who was the Seer to tell him so. "I'm loving the grounds they are so beautiful. I miss Hogwarts though. I just hope that Professor Styx is not treating my Tentacula to harshly. The female bit him once and I've had to be careful with them ever since." She said with a sigh. "The castle is so big though I feel like a first year trying to find my way around." She said looking up. She had tried her best to make heads or tails of the castle but had not been successful so far. She would eventually get it though. It couldn't be more difficult than finding her way in a school that moved around more than the students.
 
Henry liked it when she said that the grounds were beautiful, he agreed completely, although he was a little confused by what she was talking about afterwards. "Whats a tentacula?" he asked with a raised eyebrow. It sounded like some kind of animal. "Yeah it can be a bit confusing at first, if you want I could show you around sometime...?" he proposed hoping she would say yes. Why do I care so much if she says yes or not!? I just met her like, not even five minutes ago! he thought but trying to keep a calm expression on his face.
 
Zazuka searched in the bag that she had with her and took out a picture. It was of her holding a pot with one large red flower and what looked like tentacles coming out of it. "Tentacula is a breed of plant that come in very useful when you are trying to make things like movement potions." She said brightly. She never really wanted to botch her plants because she always too exceedingly good care of them but she knew that they had their purpose. "Oh if you don't mind I would love for you to show me the grounds." She said her smile getting brighter. Zazuka had yet to make a close friend here because she had a slight feeling that the girls where laughing at her behind her back.
 
Henry looked closer at the picture Zazuka was holding, it was a bot of an odd looking plant, but beautiful at the same time. After looking at it for a few seconds he realized he had seen the plant in herbology a few times. Henry felt butterfly's erupt in his stomach when Zazuka said he could show her around the grounds, "Great!" he said smiling brightly.
 
Zazuka got up from where she had been sitting and smiled wide and Henry. "Thank you so much. You don't know how much this helps." She said her dreamy voice filled with sunshine. He reminded her a bit of her beloved B who she hadn't heard from in a bit but she hoped she would hear from soon. She missed him like nothing else. She also wanted to be with Andy at the moment seeing as she would have more time now that Crispin had graduated school. "Your a sixth year right?" She asked to keep the conversation going.
 
"Its my pleasure" Henry assured her in a cheerful voice. Henry nodded when she asked if he was a sixith year, "Sure am, I'm a little nervous for my exams, but I hear you guys take your exams in your 7th year?" Henry asked. It seemed rather odd to him, but then again there schools were on completely oppsisit ends of the earth, there was bound to be some major differences. Henry turned to look at the school that seemed to glitter in the sunlight, "Is the any spicific places you would like me to show you?" he asked turning back to Zazuka.
 
Zazuka nodded. "N.E.W.Ts yes. I already passed my O.W.Ls with flying colors and I want to do the same with my N.E.W.Ts I need to if I want to be a Healer on day. That's probobly why I'm pouring all this effort into learning the books here too." She said. She had notes in English but most of the text books here where in French. The library held hope for Zazuka but it was a bit difficult for her to read for fun when most of the books she wanted to read where in a language she didn't really understand. "The towers or you Quidditch pitch. I love Quidditch even though I can never really play." She said smiling wide. She wasn't lying. Zazuka thought of herself as much to gentle for the sport. Her best friend however was perfect for the game.
 
"Oh thats cool" Henry replied not having any idea really what she was talking about, it sounded very confusing. "So you wanna be a healer one day? Save lives?" Henry asked, "I'm not really sure what I wanna do yet..." he trailed off. Henry actually did know what he wanted to do, he wanted to be a make-up artist, but he wouldn't admit it to anyone it was to embarrassing. Henry's smile had disappeared as they were talking about jobs, but the second Zazuka mentioned quidditch he brightened up considerably, "Really?! I love quidditch too! I'm the alternet chaser" Henry said excitedly, "We should so play sometime! Come on, I'll show you the pitch first thing!" he said before heading off to the pitch a bit faster then normal.
 
Zazuka followed at a pace that would not take too much out of her. She had the stamina for it but outside her visions she wasn't very strong. Nature seemed to be playing blence game with her because it gave her magical prowls but took a lot of physical stringent that she could have possibly had. Zazuka didn't show this though as she followed Henry "Oh no I could never really come up to the standered that is required for Quidditch." She said very gently. Most of her adoptive sisters payed on the teams and where all very strong but Zazuka just didn't see herself like that. "Save lives and help the lives of people that are well. That's my dream. I've already started studying for my life long dream." She said. If he asked she would tell him. Zazuka wanted most of all to find a cure for the bite of a werewolf.
 
Henry stood at the pitch waiting for Zazuka to catch up, he hadn't realized he had been going so fast. "Well, then we should go flying sometime, the view is lovely" Henry said giving her a small smile. Henry listened as Zazuka talked about being a healer, she sounded so full of passion, it was almost inspiring. "Wow. What attracted you to healing?" Henry asked, there had to be something that had made Zazuka so dedicated.

(( lame, sorry >.< ))
 
Zazuka thought about what she should answer. There where many reasons why she wanted to be a Healer but one of the main ones she could say right off the bat. "I want to help people that have fallen under things like that Warewolf bite. You see part of it is a curse but part of it is pure biology. There is something like a virse in the spit of a warewolf when they are in thier transformed state that attacks the red blood cells. After that it's much like AIDS where it keeps reproducing at a rapid rate until the body is consumed. Or at least that what I've seen under the microscope." She said. Zazuka always talked as if she where leaving room for error. She fully understood that in these things she could be wrong and there was always another chance for her to get it right.
 
Henry listened to Zazuka talk about how lycanthropy was almost like AIDS. Henry had never thought about it that way before, all he knew was that once you were bit by a werewolf you were pretty much doomed to be a beast for the rest of your life. "Wow, thats really cool" he said almost awestruck. Henry thought Zazuka was probably the smartest person he had ever met, except for maybe his professors.
 
Zazuka put her hand on her cheek and giggled. "No it's not. I'm sorry if I'm losing you with my geekyness. I talk like this in Raveclaw Tower sometimes and there are times when even they don't understand what I'm talking about." She said laughing softly. Zazuka was happy to have made a good friend at Beauxbatons because the girls here seemed as if they where a bit full of themselves but that was not going to put her off just yet.
