Maybe we can look in the library!" It was bad, an unanswered question. She wanted to know now, too.

She was just standing there thinking about what they ate, when Zeke asked if she wanted to ride in the carriage with him. She smiled at him and said "Sure, of course!"

Zhenya was almost startled by the voice of a third person. She looked up to see another girl already on the carriage. Oops, she didn't realise she was there. Feeling a tad rude, she added a quick smile and said "Sure, thanks," and waited for Zeke, who was closer than she was, to climb in before her. She didn't want to stand out there, no way. She wanted food. And then sleep in her, yes HER, bed.

And then the girl mentioned the death thing…damn. Ooh well, she hoped Zeke wouldn't feel the need to spill his story if he didn't want to. She sometimes even got a bit teary when she spoke of her grandparents. Sometimes…

But quickly, she looked back at the girl and said "Hi, by the way. I'm Zhenya," cheerfully. Yay, another new person to talk to!

The Harry Potter thing rang a bell, kinda, he might have glossed over it in one of his textbooks.

Considering though that all the horses he knew ate grasses and stuff, meat seemed VERY weird, which was fitting for the beasts. "Awesome, and yeah, yeah, we should research... together." Meaning, she could research, and he could watch/help her. Seemed legit to him. AND she said she'd ride with him, that was cooooooool, which made him cool too, right?

"Sweet," he replied, only, he couldn't get anything more into their conversation when another voice piped up. Who? What? Huhhhh?

"Oh yeah, cool, thanks," he mused. Standing back, Zeke gestured for Zhenya to hop in first, cause... that was the right thing to do, right? Ladies first and all that jazz? However, he wasn't able to say as much because the next thing he knew, his eyebrows were disappearing into his fringe. Say what now? "Seen someone die?" he repeated, processing this information.

Eventually he regained the ability to move and speak and he climbed into the carriage with new-found energy. "I'm Zeke, hi," he added after Zhenya's self-introduction. New girl, or at least she was new to him. "So, how does that work? The seeing people die and seeing thestrals thing?" HOW WAS THAT A THING?!

She hadn't studied them, all she knew was just what she had mostly overheard from others. But it would be interesting to find out why they could only be seen buy those who have witnessed death and how they were created. That sort of thing.

Aww, he was very sweet. Zhenya climbed on up, and was on standby in case he needed a hand getting up. But no, he was fine. She was interested to see, actually, whether he said anything, or whether the new girl would, about their stories. Could the girl actually see them? She wasn't sure. She opened her mouth to say something when she saw his eyebrows basically disappear. Was it from some kind of shock or grief? No, no, he recovered quickly and started asking more questions. She too looked towards the girl, wondering if she knew more information. Could she explain it?

Trying to ignored ow hungry she was, Lux searched for a carriage, finally spotting two familiar faces and making a beeline towards them. "Hey, Zhenya. Hey, Zeke. Mind if I join you guys?" Oh, and there was a new face as well! "Hi, I'm Lux."

Oh good they didn't fancy walking to Hogwarts from Hogsmeade station. Relieved when they got into the carriage with her, she smiled when the Slytherin girl introduced herself. Zhenya. And funnily enough, the boy's name also began with a Z; was this a thing or something? "Tia," she introduced back. No last name necessary considering they didn't because apparently students were on a first name basis at this school.

"I'm not really sure, but i know I can't see them. I've just read about them." Well a little bit anyway; there wasn't terribly much information out there about them. "I think you have to have witnessed death at least once though ..." She glanced between the two of them, "Wait, you both can see them then? What do they look like? Are they really bony and skeletal-like , as I only read about?"

And before she could inquire too much on what it was like to see them, they had someone else join the carriage; a Hufflepuff judging from her robes which meant three houses were represented in this carriage. Which also meant, hopefully, that her brother was right about her being Ravenclaw thing. Or maybe she was just overthinking things, but hopefully not this time. Lux; not a Z name. "Nice to meet you, Lux. I'm Tia." She said happily. "So what year are you three in?" Maybe some other fourth years besides her and the mystery girl from Malkins.
