1st cola can
Courtyard
[When Zelman wasn't sitting bored in class or sleeping back at the dorms, he was skipping class outside and enjoying himself in the courtyard as it was a cloudy day for a change. Not like he was allergic to the sun like vampires in myths, but he still disliked it. He was drinking a can of cola (one of the muggle things he really liked) and just chilling in his regular Slytherin robes.]
Hallways; evening/night
[As a true vampire, Zelman enjoyed walking around in the evenings and nights. Usually he avoided members of the staff, but lately he hadn't really cared doing so: he wouldn't be advancing to the next grade this year so it didn't really matter if he got into trouble or not. Rules were stupid anyway.
He only attended Hogwarts to have a place to stay and hide when he wasn't asked to do something. Not that most people really knew that. He was just your old regular troublemaker who disappeared every now and then. There were very little who knew his actual identity and what he did during the war with you-know-who to have ended up in this mess.
Really, he wouldn't be here if he didn't have to, but the place did have good points. Just not enough for him to actually care and act like a normal guy.]
Sano's office: Closed action
[After the incident with Adela and Matsuoka, Zelman had waited on a call to Sano's office to discuss what his punishment would be. It had finally come and Zelman was so close to actually skipping it, but he knew better than actually make Sano mad. He was still indebted to him for actually providing a place to hide, so he should at least try being obedient.
The keyword being try.
That's why he's at least late for the appointment.]
You called?

Good.
You’re dismissed, you can leave now. I’ll let you know when your detention begins.
[He returns to his work again, but there’s a bitter aftertaste in the back of his throat, that makes him speak up again, seconds later.]
Zelman? One more thing.
[He contemplates what he’s about to say, then finally sighs.]
I really hate doing this, though you know you deserve it.
[For what it’s worth, they’re sorta… partners? Friends? It’s hard to find a word for them and while he’ll never voice it out loud, he does care about that damn old man.]
I’m not asking you to change, but can you sometimes at least try to pretend you give a shit?
no subject
When you get this old, you start acting more true to yourself. [It's partially true, because he has had a lifetime of lying already.] But maybe for you I'll try, kid.
no subject
You can be true to yourself and still care about others.
[He doesn't add anything to it, because there's nothing to add, or counter. Aside the obligatory...]
And don't call me kid.
no subject
[With that he's out of the door.]
