Originally Posted by Stefan Nodding, Jace slowly made his way inside the compartment and sat next to Azura.

Like...how awful the last national kendo tournament went for him...or the fact that he failed to pass his Second Dan exam? It was very embarrassing since Sensei Hollingberry was very sure about him passing it. He even said he was ready!
Rubbing the side of his head, Jace looked over Azura...and he smiled when he saw the Raindrop Cake! “You did it, Azura! You have to teach me when we get to Hogwarts, okay? I want to make one with my papa when I go home to Newcastle for Christmas...” Jace’s voice trailed off, when he noticed that Azura wasn’t....really thrilled with her accomplishment. If Jace’s memory served him right, she liked to bake...so, what is going on?
And then...it started. Jace’s face fell when the news about Cyprian didn’t happen. He was expecting his best friend to have a grand time over summer but...apparently it turned sour for her even before she could get a kiss from this Slytherin boy!
The Ravenclaw second year could feel his chest tighten as Azura dragged on with her words. She didn’t want to worry him? Well, those words were enough to conclude that the next words that Azura will tell him isn’t good news. Jace kept quiet, and had his hand gently on top of Azura’s shoulder.
WHAT IS GOING ON?! Azura managed a small smile up at the taller boy as he sat down next to her and she turned her body a little so she was facing him more. She wanted to hear everything about this summer, to catch up because her own summer passed in a worry filled haze and ended in darkness..
Normally, seeing Jace that happy would have sent waves of warmth and excitement through the little girl, now though. It only managed to poke a few holes in her ever persisting blackness.. But she was grateful enough for the light her best friend brought with him. "Of course I will teach you once we get to Hogwarts." She said a soft echo of her warm smile lifting the edges of her mouth before she bit her lip a little and looked down at her hands..
She tugged a bit on her dark hair as she struggled to get the words out and not start sobbing.. She hadn't even said them to anyone yet. My Mother Died.. It seemed like a simple enough sentence but.. the words didn't want to leave her lips.. If she said them, she would have to admit that she believed them..
A soft gasp left her lips as she tried to hold back a sob that was gathering at the back of her throat.. Fwoopers.. Her chest got tight and it was suddenly hard to breathe... Everything started to get dark again..
She felt like she was going to pass out, but as Jace lay his hand on her shoulder Azura slowly started to come back to reality.. The touch was all she needed to remind her that she wasn't alone.. And it gave her the courage to start speaking.. She turned to look at him for a moment..before taking a deep breath, tears shimmering in her dull purple eyes.. "During the Feast last term, I got a letter from my Parents saying that they were going to Germany on Vacation, so they wouldn't be at the train to get me. My M..m.." She cleared her throat.. "My mom, wanted to go look for potion ingredients in the Black Forest." She explained as she took another breath and swallowed her tears.. "My mother.. went missing, and I was told as soon as I got off the Train. All summer, the Ministry and my Father searched for her.. So I stayed with my Aunt and Uncle and Wes, my cousin." She took a deep breath.. "Last week.. Someone from the Ministry came to find My Dad and I.. and... they.. they.." Azura whimpered softly.. "They found her.. She was killed by Vampires in the Black Forest.. The Funeral was two days ago."
Azura's hand had come up to hold onto Jace's sometime during her story and by now.. she couldn't hold back the tears.. they were streaming silently down her face as she looked at Jace. |
