Exams were coming up and as always, Adelina was studying. She had been studying for them since the beginning of the year. It was part of her upbringing. A Durmstrang father and Beauxbaton mother expected their children to not just do well in school, but to excel there, and even though neither parent went to Hogwarts, they respected the school and its high standard of magical education. They expected Adelina to as well, and she did. There were few classes that Adelina didn't get a high grade in, and even in the ones she didn't, she still did very well.
Tonight it was Divination. Unlike some other students, Adelina took Divination very seriously and knew that it was important to learn Divination in its various forms. Who knew when the information would come in handy? True she was not a Seer, but Mynk had shown her time and time again that anyone could use Divination if one used it properly. Sipping some tea, she looked over the chapter on Crystal-Gazing.

Danathon hopped into the common room and he said happily as he marched into the party straight towards Adelina. He leaned in close to her ear and made a 'ca-kaw!' sound before hopping over the couch in order to sit beside her, "Hey A, got any Veggie study snacks over here?" he said, leaning over her to get a better look inside her bag, "I am STARVING." He knew that would drive her crazy, what with her etiquette precision and all, but he just loved to drive her crazy. He raised an eyebrow at her as he looked over her shoulder at the books she was reading. She was studying good ol' divination. Dan nodded a few times before leaning back and putting his feet up on the table in front of them, "Good subject, how's that working out for you?" he asked with a happy smirk. He just loved tormenting her, because she was one of his closest friends, of course! Why else would he torment her so?

Adelina was a tad startled by the sound and a tad offended by Dantahon sitting next to her without asking first. However, Adelina was also about civility and smiled at him in greeting. "Hello Danathon," she said. "And I'm afraid I don't have any snacks. I usually only eat at the proper meal times." Not that she had anything against people snacking in the Common Room. She didn't like to be the one who got pieces of food on the furniture or the rugs. She continued to read, but then looked up when he inquired about the subject. "My studying of Divination is going just fine, thank you for asking," she said. "With all the exams coming up, I am quite surprised you are not studying tonight." Adelina couldn't really judge him though. She had neglected some of her studying as of late as well to spend time with Nevan. DANATHON DANKS CARMICHAEL

Danathon made a big frowny face, "Awwe, shoulda known. Proper being the key word." Adelina was just the cutest thing, sometimes he even thought about mentioning that, but she would probably say he didn't go through the proper channels of courting and he would be in trouble. All he wanted was to give her a compliment... was that cool with proper people? He didn't know, so he kept his mouth shut.
Danathon nodded slowly as she answered his question about the studying. Then he laughed a little when he mentioned she should be doing the same thing, "Yeaaaaaaaah, about that. I just finished studying some Charms upstairs and I. Am. BEAT. Which is why I came down here!" he was telling the truth. Though his grades did struggle because of his fight for animal rights, whenever he had a free moment he was sure to work on school work. Though, he had gotten bored with it pretty quickly.

Adelina gave Dan an apologetic look about the food before reading a bit more. She then turned to him. "I'm sorry you are famished," she said. "Next time I'll remember to bring some vegetables in from dinner, just in case you ask again." She then gave a small laugh. "And yes, proper is a word one would associate with me. It's my upbringing." Being the daughter of a disciplined Durmstrang legend and a well-mannered Beauxbaton Alumni, Adelina knew well how proper she was. In was ingrained into her since day one. Adelina nodded as Dan spoke of studying Charms upstairs and being tired. "Well then, you are most welcome to rest in my company," she said. "Truth be told, I could use a brief respite as well." She marked her book and placed it aside. "How is your animal rights work going? I think it is a very respectable cause to be part of."DANATHON DANKS CARMICHAEL

Dan shook his head, "Oh, don't be sorry, Adelina. I should really just collect my own snacks but I'm so darn lazy." He shrugged, also apologetic. He laughed, at least she could admit that she was proper. He loved seeing the difference between her, a proper pure-blooded blonde and himself, a half-blooded brought up by a crazy veterinarian who raised him to have about as many manners as the animals that he grew up with. Long story short, he was comfortable sleeping with the pigs if needed. The two grew up in such different lives, there was no way you couldn't be entertained while comparing.
Dan was surprised when she closed her book, he was also pleased. "It's good to have a nice respite every now and then," he tried not to snicker at the word, "especially in exam week." Dan smiled widely when she brought up his animal rights obsession, she really was a good friend. He leaned forward on the edge of his seat, as he often did when he talked about something exciting.
"It's going... slowly! But great. I saved a poor cat that was stuck in a tree yesterday, turns out it belonged to some poor little Huffle first year whom I found crying a few feet away. She was really happy to have her cat back! Then I gave the kid some advice on how to take care of the cat and make sure it gets good exercise and whatnot. She seemed to appreciate the advice, though most people just think I'm being ridiculous. It's easier to make an impression on younger people, you know?" He said all of this fairly quickly and excitedly.

Adelina gave Dan a strange look when he said the word "respite". Was he mocking her? Just joking with her? She was certain he was just being silly because if he was cruel, he wouldn't be around her as he was. "Very well, you silly boy, we shall take a break then," she said, playing into his humor as opposed to criticizing it. "You're an odd one at times, Dan, but it is an enjoyable personality to be around."Adelina smiled when Dan said he has rescued a cat and helped the owner learn how to take good care of it. "Awwww, how wonderful," she said. "And I don't find it ridiculous at all. You have a fine heart there, Dan. Never give up on your cause, even if you can only help one animal at a time." She then thought of something. "Since we are taking a res... a break, would you care to take a brief walk with me?"DANATHON DANKS CARMICHAEL

You silly boy, she said. Dan was pleased about the comment, it proved she was giving in to his antics, at least just a little. "Aww, do I sense a little sentiment coming out of that mouth?" His smile grew even larger, if that was possible, and pulled his feet down from the table in front of them. He wanted to anchor himself to the ground more otherwise he was going to start jumping up and down. His ADD was kicking in so he had to ground himself in order to stay focused on the topic at hand. The topic at hand just happened to be his favorite.
"Thank you! One animal at a time, that's the best I can do. It helps me sleep at night, at least." He shrugged, "It's just better to stand for something than fall for anything, as the popular terminology says." He noticed her catch her word and change it to break. He kind of felt bad, he loved the fancy way she talked. Though, it was always amusing to know that somebody was actually paying close attention to him. Adelina had a way of focusing in on whoever she was talking to. It must have been the polite way of having a conversation.
The idea of a walk pelased Dan so much that he jumped up onto his feet a little too swiftly, "Yes!!! I can't sit still any longer!" he reached a hand out to her.

Adelina smiled at Dan. He was quite a character. She could never deny that. "Perhaps it is," she said. "But I trust you are not allowing it to go to your head."Adelina liked how Dan put it regarding how to stand for something than fall for anything. She chuckled. "I suppose you are correct," she said. "Just be cautious out there, as some who practice the art of deception wish to use our noble traits against us. My father told me that as many dark wizards tried that on him in his younger days." Though Viktor Krum wised up well after the Tri-Wizard Tournament. Adelina saw him offer his hand as they prepared to walk, and hoped he didn't get the wrong idea. She didn't hold hands with anyone besides her boyfriend after all. "I must beg your pardon for not accepting your hand," she said. "I am currently committed to one Nevan Coote and his hand is the only one I wish to hold. I trust you understand."DANATHON DANKS CARMICHAEL

Dan shook his head and waved his hands in front of his face, "Oh, you know I'd never let it go to my head!" He promised, even though it may have been going to his head a little bit, but only in the best way and not in a super stuck up way. Dan was too selfless to be stuck up about every compliment he received. Though, he felt like receiving one like that from Adelina was a big deal.
Dan made a really strange looking face, trying to portray fear but smirking at the same time. "Yikes! That's really deep. I'll keep an eye out, for sure. Only if you promise to, as well." He pointed a finger in her direction, acting quite serious. Well, serious for Danathon.
His seriousness broke when she made the comment about her boyfriend. He was a cool dude, for sure, and lucky to be dating Dan's good friend. Dan pulled his hand back to his side, "I was only trying to assist you in rising from the couch, my dear friend," he said, "but I understand how others could misconceive the motion. So, I'm sure you can get up by yourself?" He smiled.

Adelina smiled about Dan promising not to let it go to his head. "Very well then," she laughed. Adelina nodded when Dan said he would keep an eye out for those who deceived and asked her to as well. "I shall certainly try, though I suppose it can be difficult to know at times, given I assume many are so skilled at it," she said. Her father and mother had taught her well in that regard, with her father basically telling her to trust no boy around her age ever, but she knew she would probably end up having to figure it out for herself should she ever be in that predicament. Adelina felt silly when Dan spoke of his intention of taking her hand. "Forgive me, Dan," she said. "I haven't held too many boy's hands., so I suppose I am a bit too cautious at times, especially after becoming Nevan's girlfriend." Still, she rose herself and began walking with him.

Adelina spoke of the skill of deceivers. Luckily, Dan had not had that much experience in that area, and wasn't planning on running into one anytime soon. "Guess I could just stop being so noble and talented, then they might leave me alone." Danathon laughed an waved his arms in front of his face, "I'm kidding, I'm kidding!" He laughed again as she started to stand for herself. He didn't mind that she didn't take his hand, he was just trying to be a gentleman.
"How is good ol' Nevan, anyways? Whats the guy up to?" Danaton asked as the started walking towards the painting to exit the common room, "I hear he's quite the partier... isn't that... kinda not your thing?" Dan didn't mean to be getting in her business, but he kind of thought Nevan was a weird guy. He always seemed to act older than his age but younger at the same time. Granted, he flew pretty well which Dan respected.

Adelina giggled again at Dan's humor. "Well I don't know about noble, but you are certainly skilled in levity," she said. Adelina thought a bit as Dan asked what Nevan was up to. What had he been up to outside of spending time with her? She wasn't entirely sure. "I suppose the same as all of us, working on his studies," she said. She then gave Dan an odd look. "I'm not quite sure if he enjoys partying or not. He seems the tame type, not that tame is a bad thing. I rather enjoy it about him. And I do enjoy a lovely party now and then. Granted some are a bit fast and loud for my taste, but it is always nice to socialize at them."As they walked, Adelina was quiet for a bit, and finally found a decent conversation topic. "So, what are your plans for the Summer?" she asked. DANATHON DANKS CARMICHAEL

Dan nodded, "Levitation is one of my strong suits. I'm glad you noticed!" he joked.
Dan smirked as she gave him an odd look when she brought up the party atmosphere she preferred. Dan really couldn't agree more. He didn't mind parties, but the quieter and easier to talk they were, the better it was for him. He preferred to meet people not 'bump' and 'grind' with strangers. He shuddered at the thought, "Yeah, I for sure like parties for the social aspect more than anything. And it's good that you like his more exciting side! Gives you something to even you guys out right?" Dan smiled even wider. His dear friend and her boyfriend had a cute relationship, one that Dan respected more than others.
Dans eyes lit up as she asked her question about the summer, "I'm actually going to work at this amazing place called the Blenkinsop farm. They mostly care for Hippogriffs there but it is going to be amazing! Spending all day every day with animals. I still need to double check that I can actually spend the nights there, but I think I should be good to go." Dan sighed, he would miss his twin sister most of all working at the farm, but there was nothing he could do about that. There was no way she would work on a farm.

Adelina just smiled and shook her head at the levitation joke. That one was a bit cheesy in her book. "Very funny," she said. Adelina still couldn't see Nevan as the party animal type. He was always so laid back and sweet around her. But then again, everyone had various aspects of their personality that they shared with some and not with others. Adelina could understand that. "I'm not worried about evening out with Nevan," she said. "As long as we're happy together, that's fine with me."Adelina liked that Dan was going to do something on a farm. Farming was good and honest work and Adelina was always taught to respect hard workers. Still, she wondered how much Dan would stand out in such an environment. "Well, that sounds lovely," she said. "I hope it will be a pleasant and rewarding experience for you. Hippogriffs are amazing creatures. I admit I envy you just a bit that you'll be around them."DANATHON DANKS CARMICHAEL
