To most, it was nippy outside. To Adam, the air outside felt great. His body ached, his muscles were like jello. He undid the top button on his shirt and worked his way down to his abs. The shirt flapped around in the breeze as it blew off the black lake. Another good feeling on his body. the cold air. Adam considered going full nude torso but decided against it. To many losing battle scares on his body. Wizards and witches and muggles alike all suspected that any injury or scar obtained in werewolf form stay on the human body as well. Ha ha ha, they were spot on the nose. The Beast had picked so many fights and lost them all. Sometimes, some of those fights were just to tick the human off. It worked. Adam hated his other side.
Last night was a full moon. They always took their tolls on him. Those nights always left him feeling like he had been slammed with a speeding train. Adam would be weak for the next few days. He closed his eyes and sighed. Adam sank into the shore and folded his arms behind his head. He closed his dark brown eyes to take in everything else around him. The sound of the waves lapping on the shore, the scent of the water and the suns rays on his chest. All of it was relaxing. He almost surrendered to sleep at that point. If it wasn't for a twig snapping in the distance. Perks of being a werewolf were that you picked up on things normal wizards, witches and muggels couldn't. New scents, new sounds.
It was his decision not to move, just wait.

Delilah had not made any friends really. But then, she had only been here for two days. And it did not help how shy she was. Delilah was just keeping to herself. After all that had happened at home with her father, she did not know who to trust anymore. And therefore, kept to herself. She was outside now taking in the scenery. Delilah liked the lake and the mountains and the forest. She was told not to go into the forest but that was where she was heading.
Delilah was dressed in a light knee length sky blue skirt and a Cream colored gypsy shirt. Her long dark hair was down around her shoulders. She looked fresh and relaxed. She had decided to take the long way around and cut by the lake. The water was so black. As she watched and large tentacle came out of the water and then slapped back down making a splash of water. She stared at the spot as she walked on hoping to see what it was in the water.
Because of this, Delilah was not watching where she was going. That and the fact that she had not expected someone to be stretched by the water. What happened next was fate though she did not know it yet. She tripped over his outstretched legs and fell heavily with a small yelp. She hit the ground with her legs over his and her hands in the grass. She instantly pulled her legs off him as she sat up rubbing her sore hands and her face beat red with embarrassment. "Imbécil." She muttered in Spanish. It was directed at herself for not watching where she was going.

The giant squid was splashing about again. The silly creature. But it must be freezing in that water at this time of year. He just played off the noise. Adam's eyes stayed closed until he felt something falling over his legs. A small " Imbécil " followed the collision of their legs. Was that directed at herself or him? Adam just guessed it was at her since she didn't bite his head off afterwards. Ha, another Spanish speaking student went here. When her legs were off his, he jerked up. He was eye to eye with a girl from his house. Her name escaped him but he knew her face from the common room. It didn't feel so good on Adam's end. The spot were they collided was sore for a while. It soon passed and he was on his knees in front of her.
" ¿Estás bien? " He asked her in Spanish. He hadn't been able to use his second language in a while. Not since Michelle was at school. His eyes scanned her for a second. Her face was beet red. A soft smile played onto his face.

Delilah blushed even harder when the other person sat up and she looked into his eyes. It was only for a moment before Delilah blushed even harder and looked away again. " ¿Estás bien? " He asked her and Delilah's dark eyes ticked to his again in surprise. He spoke Spanish. Up until now, she had been trying to speak only in English because no one could understand her.
"Si, Yo estoy bien. Adjetivo vergüenza." She told him very softly. She had seen this boy. He had been in the common room the first time she had arrived. Even then, Delilah had thought he was attractive and it was no different now. She liked his build and his hair. The main thing that interested her however, was the way there seemed to be something almost dangerous about him. It was like an aura that he gave off. Delilah wondered if anyone else could see it.
"I am Delilah." She said in English now. He English words were a bit slower as she concentrated on speaking properly. She gave an embarrassed smile now. "Are you alright?" Her voice was still soft. She hardly ever spoke above a near whisper. Not unless she needed to. Delilah reach up and began to curl a piece of dark hair around her finger.
*Basic translation: Yes, I'm okay. Only embarrassed.*

Adam nodded and started to rebutton his shirt since he was talking to someone. He pulled his legs up under his body so she could scoot away from the waters edge. " You don't have anything to be embarrassed about, Delilah. " He said to her with a soft, reassuring smile on his face. Everything about Adam seemed to be relaxed at this moment. But what else was new for him? This was the demeanor he always gave off. " Everyone trips up every now and then. " He added. Her english speaking voice was soft, almost in a whisper. Not like his. His was loud with just an under hinting of humor or amusement. It was hard for anyone to take him serious when he spoke.
" I am Adam by the way. Adam Davis. " He said reaching out his hand to her.

Delilah felt odd here. He was very sweet and kind but still she felt out of place. She looked down again as he moved. " You don't have anything to be embarrassed about, Delilah. " He told her now and Delilah blushed. That was easy for him to say. " Everyone trips up every now and then. " He continued and then held out a hand to her. Delilah looked at it for a short moment. " I am Adam by the way. Adam Davis. " He said introducing himself.
Delilah hesitated a moment and then slipped her hand into his. "A pleasure." She said softly and then got to her feet. "Thank you for your understanding." She told him now and then gave a shy smile. "I must move on." Delilah added. "I am new to this school and I must learn my way." She needed to figure out where everything was. Delilah still had trouble remembering the password to her own house. She smiled once more as she straightened her clothes and then started off.

He gave her a reassuring smile. She had hesitation in her voice, her appearance and her eyes. Her brown orbs lowered from his. He was usually attracted to blondes but she had something else about her. He knew what it was like to be the new kid here. Adam got to his feet and called after her.
" How about I show you around the grounds? " He offered. He wouldn't push himself on her. He wasn't that kind of a guy to do that. The grounds were tricky for a newbie to navigate on their own. That was part of his reason to help out. Another was heading their way, laughing and hooting it up. Green badges glimmered off their chest and smirks crossed their arrogant faces. Slytherins. He hated the lot of them. Adam's eyes narrowed on them as they came closer. He really hoped Delilah would take his offer.

Delilah hear the ruckus of the other students and turned her head towards the sound. She saw the small group of students and knew by the color on their clothes that they were not in her house. Though she preferred the green. Delilah hated yellow. She did not like however the looks on their faces. As if they thought themselves to be superior. A few of them glanced her way more likely than not interested in the new girl but it was Adam that spoke up.
" How about I show you around the grounds? " He asked her and Delilah turned back to find him standing and watching her. Delilah gave a shy smile and then nodded. 'Of course." She told him. What better than to have someone who knew the school show her around. She could hopefully make her first friend here and learn about the school at the same time. One large boy in the approaching group sneered at Adam and then glanced to Delilah. He said something to the others and they all looked at the Hufflepuffs and then laughed.
Delilah looked away for a moment and then motioned slightly for Adam to join her. "Who are they?" She asked when the two were close enough. She felt an instant dislike. For the boy who had sneered and the pale blond who was still watching.

Adam stepped by her side, stuffing his hands in his pockets. Flea bag! one called. The other large boy rammed Adam's shoulder with his, practically tipping Adam over. He pressed his lips together in a thin line and turned his eyes back to Delilah. Mutt! another added, Adam's blood boiled. He had to keep a level head or risk awaking The Beast inside again. He had just recovered from last night, he didn't want another show. He didn't want to scare her off. His eyes followed the pale blond for a second.
" No one worth your breath. Just a bunch of cowardly prats. " He told her. His voice was evening out again. " The blond you can call ferret boy and the other two are his boyfriends. " He whispered just loud enough for her to hear. Adam pointed his hand up to the castle. " Let's head up to the school to start our tour, shall we? "

Delilah stood there listening to the insults the other boys were giving. Her eyes moved from them to Adam questioningly. When the one large boy pushed Adam, Delilah placed a hand on Adam's other shoulder to try and help him remain standing. She could see how angry Adam was getting but Delilah did not understand the dog terms in relation to the boy. " No one worth your breath. Just a bunch of cowardly prats. " Adam told her and Delilah nodded. " The blond you can call ferret boy and the other two are his boyfriends. " He added. "Ferret boy?" Delilah repeated with a smile. She looked at the school when Adam motioned towards it. " Let's head up to the school to start our tour, shall we? " She was about to agree when another voice spoke almost right in her ear. "Be careful when you are alone with him." The voice said and Delilah jumped. She turned to find that the blond had circled around and behind her. "He bites." She narrowed her eyes confused. "I don't think I asked for your input." She told him in a heavy accented cold tone. The blond sneered. "Anywhere you like Adam." She added in relation to the tour of the school. Delilah backed against Adam pushing him back not wanting to take her eyes of the blond but not wanting a fight to brew either. She had a lot of questions now though...

Adam flinched at Malfoy's remark. The blond made his demon crazy. I hate snake meat. To chewy. Just move it. The Beast told Adam. He wasn't going to fight in front of someone, he was honestly glad The Beast was backing down from them. It was a rare thing but Adam was going to roll with it. He did wheel back to the blond and the two larger boys for a second. He stuck his middle finger in the air then rushed to Delilah's side. He knew his last action was childish. He wanted the last word in the matter. Even if the last word was an uncivilized action. " Sorry you had to see that. " He said. " Not all Slytherins are like that. Just a good 90 percent of them. " He told her. He knew of one who fit into the other category.
Adam held open the door to the main corridor to let her pass through. She was probably use to this area already. " Welcome to the main corridor. " He said making a large, over reacted gesture with his arms. " If you want to run into those of your own house, here is where you do it. " Even if the school was now pressed under Slytherin and Deatheater thumb, The Main Corridor had always remained Hufflepuff territory. It always would be hopefully.

Delilah did not comment on the gesture from Adam. Even where he was from, the gesture was well known. She left with Adam now looking over her shoulder a few times to make sure that they were not being followed. " Sorry you had to see that. " Adam told her now and Delilah looked up at him as they began to back to the school. " Not all Slytherin's are like that. Just a good 90 percent of them. " She smiled softly.
Delilah watched him closely. Why would the dog comments bother him so much? Yes they were rude but there seemed to be something else. Something underlying. When he opened the door, Delilah slipped inside. She then turned to him. She had of course seen this area before.
She nodded and then took one of his hands and began walking. She took her time looking at everything. Delilah did not know how to ask her questions without being rude. "What is there to do that is fun?" She asked softly. She headed towards the trophy room now without realizing where she was going. Opening the door randomly, she stepped inside amongst the glass cases.
They were alone in here and Delilah decided that this was the best place for her questions. "Adam?" She asked now. "Why did those boys names bother you so much?" She paused and looked down for a moment. "What are you?" She had already assumed that he was not normal like her. Delilah tried to keep her voice level and relaxed.

Adam followed her into the room. He slid his finger across a glass shelf and sneezed. Filch was slacking. He blew the dust from the shelf, triggering another sneeze. He swiped his hands across the leg of his pants before addressing her question. " There's plenty if you look around carefully. " He started. " I play drums in a band with some mates, for example. Then there's playing a sport: Quiddith, Lacrosse, football, swimming or if you brainy, you can challenge someone to a game of wizards chest. It all really depends on what your hobbies are. " He said. Adam picked up a leather bound book and thumbed threw it. He figured some first year might have left it here. He took a quick glance at the cover of the book. " Werewolves, Shifter and other Creatures of the Night. " He scowled.
He looked up at her second question. It was a matter of time before she asked it. Adam was shy about his condition. He didn't like the reaction after he told someone. It made it hard to trust He closed the book and set it down. " I'm a werewolf. Those three know it and they call me the names to try and get a raise out of me and the beast inside me." He said. Adam's body stiffened as the words left his lips. His head bowed slightly. He stepped aside for her to leave if she wanted to. He was also expecting a scream.

" I'm a werewolf. Those three know it and they call me the names to try and get a raise out of me and the beast inside me." Delilah did not know what she had been expecting him to say in response to her her question but it had certainly not been that he was a werewolf... Delilah did not know what to say. She just stood there almost stupidly looking back at him. She could see by his face that he was upset by her question.
Delilah did not like the way Adam moved to seem to let her leave. She did not want to leave. She was not afraid of him although she maybe should be. "Adam," Delilah said softly now. She stepped closer to him and place one hand slowly on his upper arm. She did not know if he wanted her to touch him but he had allowed her to hold his hand earlier so she did not think he would mind.
"I am not going to run away." She looked up at him. "You are...different. I would not consider it to be a beast though. It is a part of you." She felt maybe a connection to this boy. He was an outsider like herself. She sighed now. "It is no reason for the others to torment you. How does it happen?" She was curious to know and only hopped that it would not bother him to much that she was asking.

Her touch was welcome. He picked up his head and landed his eyes in hers. The girl wasn't scared? That was a first. Werewolves were on the bottom of the food chain in the magic world. People feared the unlucky ones who were marked with the curse. He had seen the paranoia first hand. The looks people gave outed ( granted now many were's outed themselves or were as open with it as Adam was. ) were's was the same the gave to a fresh pile of dung. Feninr Greyback running around and doing the dark lords blood work didn't help his kind much, though Adam smiled at her.
" They don't have a reason but it makes them feel like big men to tear others people. I think they're compensating for something with all the bullying they do. " He said. His statements made him smirk. Others, maybe not as much. He pulled out a chair for her and dusted it off. " You might want to sit down. " He said. Adam perched on the table behind him and folded his arms under his chest. She seemed eager to learn more. Rather her learn from an actual werewolf then listen to the lies and propaganda in text books and tabloid magazines. When she sat, he started explaining everything to her. From the bite to the transformations.
He was open with everything. He had learned in life that you hold secrets from people, then they can hold power over you. He wanted to be the only one in charge of his life, he wanted to be the only one pulling his strings. " Any questions so far? " He asked.
