He did however blink at the younger girl for knowing and he frowned when she trailed her words away.
He didn't like the look of ...what was it? sympathy? on her face and he was about to ask what was wrong when Hades suddenly patted his shoulders! What the?
Confused, the third year looked from the two creatures back to the students and the words made him turn his stomach. "I..i.." was the only thing he could say. Daichi made a movement with his arms as if he was pressing something against his chest, a plushed duck named Mr.Duckles he had carried in his first year but was not here anymore.
He was both confused and a bit angry at their question. He had never accepted his mother's dead and now they brought it up! He had already punched Professor Williamson for reminding him (accidently of course) and he wasn't someone who would fight. Figthing his emotions inside of him, he turned to look at Hades. "That's rude and not the place to ask someone EVER!" he had shouted the last word and looked away. Hoping not to have startled the creatures...
"I didn't ask," Jezz said thinking he was also upset with her. She hadn't witnessed her grandfathers death, but all this talk about death kind of struck a hard spot with her. Even thinking about magical creature made her think of that joke of a class that caused her a good weeks worth of nightmares. She missed him terribly now and she needed a distraction or she'd start crying in front of everyone.
She looked up and just stared at the unicorn. A black unicorn. It still seemed so majestic and magical. If only she could pet it. If only she could walk right into the forbidden forest and pet it. She shifted her weight and looked down.

"I didn't know..." that Daichi had lost someone in his life. From how he acted, no one can tell that the boy went through such hardness.
"The girl's right. It's a thestral," he turned around, looking at the empty space where the thestral was supposed be (as pointed by Daichi). Both his hands were in his pockets, warming themselves. "Only those who have seen death can see it," fascinating creature indeed. Luckily Hades was brilliant at Care of Magical Creatures.
"The girl has a name," she said softly.
"It's Jezzabelle, but you can call me Jezz." Or whatever. She didn't really care anymore. The professors called her Jezzabelle her friends called her Jezz. What's in a name? The which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet? Yes, she was well versed in Shakespeare no matter how old the reading was.
