The 17th - School is still a thing
[ God, she's beat.
Almost too dramatically Adela flops unto her favourite comfy chair in the library, heaving a sigh once she does. Getting back into Quidditch is a little tiring (if only because she'd fallen out of practice over summer without much chance to practice), but the real kicker is all the harder subject matter for her courses. She hasn't even had a chance to greet any of her friends there yet, and that sucked because that was what she was looking forward to the most throughout the summer...
Well, time to get back to work.
Adela ends up sitting with her legs over one of the chair's arms, pulling her history of magic textbook out of her bag and reading it, having a mechanical pencil out to mark passages. Easier to use than a quill in this position so she doesn't end up spilling ink or something silly like that. Maybe if she's lucky, she'll see her friends during the first hogsmeade weekend of the year or something. Or maybe get a chance to talk to Rin (Okumura) again outside of class or trying to tutor him. She could hope for that kind of luck, anyway. ]

Let's try something different. Library. (Yes, Sano is familiar with the concept.)
And he enjoys these first few lazy weeks, when everyone is trying to get back to the course of things. That includes the teachers, of course - not that the students are supposed to know that. And for this year, Sano has decided to update himself on some more Quidditch techniques, because after watching the summer matches, he came to the realization, that yes, the game still keeps evolving.
And his knowledge had always been a bit selective, focused on Keeper moves and Chaser tactics. His slightly broader knowledge on Beater tecnics only came from being friends with many Beaters and the need to update himself, after Sousuke's injury.
He's going through some theory books in the Quidditch section, with 3, or 4 tucked under his arm, that he intends to lend, when he spots the familiar mop of red, nose buried in books, hunched over the desk.]
You keep sitting like that, soon you'll have the same troubles as Sousuke.
[He says when he appproaches the table, jabbing the small of her back and the space between her shoulderblades gently, grinning at her reaction.]
Straighten up, soldier. Yo.
[He greets, raising his hand, as she turns around, grin widening just a little at the expression on her face.]
O.W.L.s are only in a few months, yanno.
((ooc: Replying with Sano to this, because Rin already has a thread with Adela. Sorta.))

Sano!?
[ After that it takes another moment or two before she manages to quiet herself, sighing and shaking her head before stretching her back a bit and shifting in the chair. ]
I know they are, and I don't want to do poorly on them. Even if I'm trying to be a pro quidditch player, I should keep my options open shouldn't I?"
no subject
In the flesh!
[He sits down sideways in the chair next to her, facing her, as he listens to her being a responsible student, and his smile turns a little softer, prouder.]
I agree. You never know. One day you're guarding the hoops...
[And the other you're teaching flying to 11 year olds, he finishes in his head, but he's sure she gets the point. He nods to the pile of books.]
Whatcha struggling with?
no subject
[ She looks to him again, raising a brow at that question. True that she'd struggled a lot with her studies last year, but this year she's determined to stay on top of it. Just how much does Sano know about that though... ]
no subject
You know, history of magic was one of my few NEWTs.
[He says, as he sits down, pulling one of the books out from under his arm and opening it. There always was something about history that he had liked. Maybe it was just the simple fact of it being stories, that life had written, but he had always found it fascinating.]
In case you need anything, just ask.
no subject
[ She blinks at him when he does that, shrugging after a moment before turning to her book again. ]
I'll keep it in mind Sano, thanks.
[ ... Damn. Why is she thinking about that now? Adela can feel her eye twitching as her expression falls. Even if she hasn't seen that prick in months... With what she knows... She probably shouldn't keep it from Sano, considering she's pretty sure he already knows.
That picture is in her bag now too, so maybe she can bring it up that way if her hunch is right. ]
Sano... When you talked to me about Zelman earlier this year... You said you brought him here, right? I didn't think about asking at the time, but... I think I know why, now.
no subject
Not many do. Most people are surprised I even have any N.E.W.T.s. And that had been the Binns and Slughorn era, still.
[The laugh fades however fom his face, when Adela brings up their common acquaintance, and surprise is etched into his face, when she says everything else.]
Oh, do you?
[He doesn't give her anything else. There's a possibility she found out, as it's possible she found out something else entirely. He knows she's smart and a little nosy, but he hadn't thought at that time, whe he had let that slip, she would go looking for information. He should have probably figured.]
What didya find out?
no subject
[ She looks to him, raising a brow. It doesn't take her long to decide that she has to say something first though. It's not an issue as she trusts Sano, but rather than just simply telling she pulls up her book bag and takes out a picture.
There are three people in it -- a woman who shows resemblance to Adela in a few different ways, a man clearly her brother, and Zelman who seems to be trying to leave the picture only to get pulled back by the woman, who appears to be laughing at his reluctance. ]
This is from... I think twenty years ago. My uncle sent it to me when he thought I was struggling with school to try and encourage me.
[ She turns it over, so he can see three names on the back along with the date... And that Zelman Clock is one of the names listed. ]
I already confronted him about it. Apparently, he was a friend of hers... And helped her go into hiding when Voldemort rose to power again.
no subject
Quite fetching, ain't he? Doesn't really age. Gotta say, I'm envious.
[He hands the photo back to Adela.]
I suppose you have about a million questions.
[He's not sure what he can answer, but he can at least give her something, he supposes. Zelman... probably wouldn't mind. As much as those two insist on hating each other, Sano came to the conclusion, that the vampire trusts Adela, a long time ago.]
no subject
Not as many as you might think. I still don't get a few things, like exactly what he is or why he kept bullying me...
...
Well, maybe I do. Even if it sucks to admit it.
[ Another moment and she looked back at the book before her, frowning. ]
He'll probably never say either way, but whether he wanted it or not the fact that I was his apparent favourite target kept anyone else from trying anything for the longest time. I doubt I'll ever know if it's intentional or not.
There's a lot I don't understand, but... The rest, I probably don't need to know. He stopped picking on me when I confronted him about it, even though I promised I wouldn't say anything. I figured you already knew considering back then though, so I doubt telling you effects anything.
no subject
I know nothig of his connection to you, or why he was so fixted on you. I know what he is, but he told me in confidence. All I can tell you, that yeah, he's older than he looks, which you know and that I owe him, which is why I helped him hide here.
I've known him for a while now. A certain... A certain kind of wixes knows Zelman quite well. The headmistress knows everything as well, but that shouldn't surprise you.
[It would be very hard to pull something like that without the headmistress knowing.]
no subject
[ In spite of herself she can't help smiling a little. ]
So it means a lot when you do. Thanks, Sano.
