Meeting up again (Zilly/Jory)

[Jory Addison]

Jory shrugged, "There's not really much to say. Nothing happens in Gryffindor Tower." He had said he wouldn't tell what had happened with the Professor in the dorm, and so he didn't even consider mentioning it. "What about you?" She had to have been doing something other than class work for the months they had been apart.

[Zilnafa]

Zilnafa shook her head. Just like him her life had honestly been slightly boring these past months. She'd been swamped with school work and hadn't really all that much time to do anything. Not that she hadn't tried.

She'd hung out in the library trying to finish studying fast so she could check out her history. She still had no idea about anything because she'd been so wrapped up in studying. It seemed to have consumed her life.

Although...

"I did go out last weekend. To Hogsmeade." Zilanfa was ashamed for not asking Jory. But because she was so unfimilar she assumed everyone else had been taking the tests she had. "I met someone. And her fiancee. Vivikia and I are going shopping in a week. I'm sort of excited. I've never been shopping."

[Jory Addison]

"Cool," Jory said, smiling brightly. He probably wouldn't have felt like taking a trip to Hogsmeade, and so he barely thought about the fact that she had gone without him. "Is she nice?" Shopping was fun, though he had only ever done it a couple of times. He would love to go around London and visit all of the shops that lined the streets, even if he couldn't afford anything.

[Zilnafa]

Zilnafa shrugged. She really didn't know a lot about Vivikia and that was the whole point of going shopping with her. But compared to most Slytherins Vivikia was an angel.

"She's actually pretty okay. I like her a lot."

[Jory Addison]

"Good, I hope you have fun," Jory said, then looked out over the lake. "You should come with me one time when I want to get something pierced." He wanted to ask Jamie to go with him, but he wasn't sure that would work very well, since Jamie didn't want people to know about him. "I wanted to get one on my seventeenth, but I didn't have anyone to go with and I'm chicken."

[Zilnafa]

Zilnafa leapt at the chance to go with Jory. She wasn't into the whole I'm going to stick something metal and forign into my body but she wanted to make it up to Jory.

"Absolutely." Zilnafa smiled at Jory. "Where are you going to get it?"

[Jory Addison]

"Well," Jory started. "I really wanted to get my belly button pierced, but there are some others I want, too. I know there's a couple of wizarding places in London that do them." He really wanted to get his belly button pierced. He could get other things later, but that would be something to signify he was finally seventeen. That was what it had been originally, he had wanted to celebrate his seventeenth with it.

[Zilnafa]

Zilnafa winced unnoticably. Ugh. Peircing's in the stomach would be so painful. And to have it ripped out. Yuck. With the blood and guts that would probably spill out. Zilnafa did not like that idae. Admittedly a peircing there would be cool.

"When woud you like to go?" Then another question popped into her head. "Are you going to get the kind that dangle or just like a ball or something?"

[Jory Addison]

((Sorry I got behind!))

"Just a ball's boring," Jory said, one hand coming to lightly rest his fingers against his belly button. "But I don't know what I have to get it done with. Getting something that dangles too much would probably get caught. I want to go...as soon as possible, really. I mean, I've been waiting for months anyway." He sighed and looked down at his fingers.

[Zilnafa]

Zilnafa was sensing that something was wrong. And it made her slightly disappointed. He'd been so happy before. She wished she could erase everything bad that had happened to Jory. He deserved to have something astronomically excellent happen to him. The boyfriend was an incredible start.

"Why were you waiting?" She asked. "Why not just go get it?"

[Jory Addison]

"'Cause I'm chicken," Jory said. "It's going to hurt and I want to be with someone when I get it done." He didn't know how bad it would be, but it would probably bleed and he knew it would hurt. It was a big thing to do by himself, he needed someone there to help him keep up the courage to do it so that he didn't turn to just wishing for the piercings he had always dreamed of having.

[Zilnafa]

Zilnafa made a face. She hated blood. She could smell it, all irony and metallic and wet. It disgusted her. Not to mention no liquid is that red or that thick naturally. Yuck. She'd probably pass out or something. And if something was going to hurt, there was always blood. All the time.

But instead of sharing her true feelings she patted Jory and instead said, "I'm sure it won't hurt that bad. And if it does, you can jus squeze my hand."

[Jory Addison]

"Thanks," Jory said, smiling. That was the biggest reason he wanted someone to go with him. He needed someone there with him just in case, even if it turned out not to hurt as bad as he thought it was going to. "It's not the worst one I want, but it'll be my first piercing that's not my ears." That in itself was a big change.

[Zilnafa]

She was feeling pretty good about her service to Jory. She's bet there of course she would.

BUt she still didn't like the idea Jory might get more peircings. She hated them but you know what it was Jory's descion and she would support him all the way. As always.

"Where else are you going to get them?" Zilnafa asked curious but slightly queasy.

[Jory Addison]

"Oh, a lot of places," Jory said. "You know how there are people that love tattoos and some dye there hair all the time...I love piercings. I don't want to, like, have my face covered or anything, but I've got a list. Like, my tongue and my hips after this."
