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? Quote:

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." Quote:

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. [/QUOTE]
Success, that's what this was. His first day/night back at school and he was already making the most of it. Because yes, spending HOURS at the library with Zhenya was totally making the most of it. Totally. So worth the study time. He even decided that sitting in a carriage wasn't so bad, it was even cooler than the boats from last year, cause he had good company. Not that his company last year had been bad, no, it had been awesome, but... but... Zhenya. "Nice to meet you," he replied to Tia. That was an easy enough name to remember. Three letters. T. I. A. Yep. Their carriage was almost full, and he supposed it wouldn't start moving off until it was, so it was a good thing Lux turned up when she did. "Hey Lux, had a good summer?" he asked conversationally, pulling his knees in a bit in case they took up too much room. Boy legs.
Tia was, interesting, and it was cool that she knew so much even though she couldn't see the thestrals. The death thing was a little awkward, but not as bad as it could have been. It was kind of nice that he wasn't alone in seeing them then. The seeing death thing was easy enough to understand, but he wanted to know how that meant they could see them, like, HOWWWWW did it work?! He wanted to know. Perhaps Professor Thompson knew? "I can, yeah," he answered with a nod, "they look starved and half dead, and... kinda creepy." The white eyes and the bones, definitely creepy, but creepy COOOOOOL.
Conversation about dead and semi-dead things wasn't all that fun though, so he was happy enough to explore a new avenue of conversation. "I'm a second year, how 'bout you?"
And wait.........
WAIT!
Hold your Hippogriffs!... or Thestrals - since they were more appropriate.
HE, Zeke Rogers, was in a carriage full of girls.
HE, Zeke Rogers, was 'pulling chicks' and well ahead of his fourth year.
This was weird.
