in 24 hours time....

[.:isis:.]

*walks down from dorm room coughing. makes way down the stairs and then spots Zack, and realizes that he's sleeping. bites tongue to keep from coughing so as not to wake him. smiles, then sits down next to him and grabs his hand. just remains there, worried about him*

[Zack]

*as her hand touches his, jumps to a sitting position, one hand in pocket on wand in one movement. sees her and relaxes, a tired smile forming on his face* hey *takes hand back out of pocket and holds hers*

[.:isis:.]

*jumps a bit to his quick reaction* hey.... *brings legs up onto the couch* sorry, i didn't mean to wake you.

[Zack]

s`ok *smiles, obviously glad to see her* how`ve you been?

[.:isis:.]

*shrugs* fine.... how have you been? *puts a hand to his forehead and brushes hair out of his tired face, concerned*

[Zack]

*smiles at her, then shrugs* well...I found some ofwhat I was looking for...I promised I`d tell ou what was going on...kinda hard to explain, but I will if ya want me to..

[.:isis:.]

*smiles back at him and slowly brings hand back to self. then nods head*

[Zack]

well you know that guy-Alex Fox- who I asked you if you knew?Well I was right, he was the same person I thought he was. I asked you `cause if you knew him, you`d probably be in trouble. Anyway, I tracked him down...ask-well I made him tell me-stuff. found out that he`s friends with Voldy....not pretty, anyway, he was as he put it ``involved`` with my parents` deaths. *mumbles* involved *shakes head* more the cause more like... *at that turns pale, shivering a bit*

[.:isis:.]

o, i'm sorry. *frowns and puts a comforting hand on his shoulder* well if this kid is so much trouble.... why is he here? wouldn't Dumbledore have stoped him or surely have done something?

[Zack]

thanks..he never went to hogwarts...Durmstrang...thats how I met him. *looks down at the couch*

[.:isis:.]

*mouth drops a bit and looks shocked* you went there? i never knew that.... i don't think you ever told me, did you?

[Zack]

no...I never told anyone...I wasn`t exactly the best there, if you get my catch. I was only there for like six months, untill September when Hogwarts started agian.

[.:isis:.]

o.... *nods head and isn't really sure what to say*

[Zack]

*shakes head* long story *sighs and sinks down into the couch*

[.:isis:.]

*sits there, still a bit shocked, then finally speaks* well, with Dumbledore around, surely this guy wouldn't show up.... correct? i mean, Voldemort himself won't even show his face around here with Dumbledore.... right?
