Look here, what Do you see? Are You Looking Forward to Get Tangle Up in Me? FULL NAME Darius Roshan Zabini AGE & BIRTHDAY 18 August 24th, 2006 OCCUPATION Healer in the department of Potions and Plant poisoning BLOOD STATUS Pureblood FACE CLAIM Sacha M'baye WAND TYPE fourteen and half inches, Mereperson's hair, Hazel PATRONUS Cobra PETS Dog named Lucy ABILITIES/ SPECIES Wandless and Non-verbal Tell me who you are, I'm sure you're some kind of superstar. Free Style Ten things I, Darius Roshan Zabini learned and Fifteen things I wish I would've known sooner. 1.) Being the oldest doesn't mean anything. Still you're probably more likely to crack under the pressure but that's okay because there's a good chance your parent's are like mine and had two more just in case you didn't turn out the way they wanted you to. Of course that doesn't really mean the pressure isn't there because believe you me, the pressure is always there because instead of two people watching you, you have four. It just so happens that two of those people will either learn what or what not to do with their life. 2.) When you're parent's tell you they have a surprise for you remember....THE CAKE IS A LIE. I guess I should explain that one but all I need to say it...two other children. That's right, each time my mother was expecting another bundle of joy it came in the form of a "surprise". I didn't have the heart to tell her to take the surprise back to the store because regardless of how old I was, I was pretty sure babies didn't come from a shop in Diagon Alley. 3.) Sharing is the universal sure fire way to....get your things broken. Now as I grew older I realized that this just didn't go for toys, books, wands, and or broom sticks. This also went for personal possessions such as your heart and the person you loved. I don't like to think of myself as selfish person but no ones wants to something that you have to fix. Even then some things are worth fixing, only I haven't learned that yet so we're going to ignore that. 4.) Flying isn't for everyone. I've never had any problems with broomsticks but it is a terrible idea to try and teach your six year old brother how to ride a broom stick. I've never seen my mom so mad, then again it was pretty hilarious how red my brother's face could turn. 5.) Leaving home doesn't always mean you can't go back. I thought I was going to enjoy my time away from home when I started Hogwarts but at age of eleven I felt myself missing the familiarity of my home. Not parents of course because they were both very busy but at the same time not being bothered by my family was something that my life was missing out on. Of course I was sorted into Slytherin and yes I made friends, or rather acquaintances but that's didn't mean a thing. 6.) Sometimes things happen and no matter what you can't stop it. My parents lost a lot in the war, and whenever they recall their experiences they don't tell stories of glory and fights for a good cause. They tell stories of death and destruction....whenever I used to ask why that was all my dad would say is "because sometimes things are out of our control." My father has never been a man of many words so that was a lesson I always kept close to my heart. 7.) Your life is like a tree. Growing old doesn't mean that you are dying it means that you are growing stronger, and planting roots. Like a tree you have branches that are spreading out entwining with others and growing and shedding leaves with the passing seasons. Each ring in your trunk holds another lesson you learn, another story you can tell when your branches start to fall and you're leaning out for support. (yeah I can be deep) 8.) School isn't everything. There's no sense in trying to study your life away because it can and will pass you by. Then you'll be left standing on the brink of death wishing you had more time to do all things you swore you would do. that doesn't mean spend time foolishly, it just means that not all fun is foolish and not all studying is wise. 9.) Friends are things you can't live without. No matter how confident you are in you ability to be alone, you can't survive without at least one close friend. Human beings are social creatures and they need someone to talk to, having someone you can trust with your dreams and your foolish hopes is a plus. 10.) Life isn't always black and white. Right and wrong doesn't really exist...maybe one time it but then somewhere along the line things got blurred and then people got ideas that were different from their neighbor. See each side of a war...and argument thinks they're right. Morals are an awful thin line to follow because someone decided that those morals were right and everything that didn't fit was wrong. The world isn't black and white...it's made of different shades of grey. 15.) Eating to much ice cream does give you a stomach ache. Now a normal person would know that but a seven year old boy doesn't really care about his mother warning him that eating ice cream for breakfast lunch and dinner is a bad idea. I couldn't really fault her for letting me suffer through the stomach ache as a way to teach me a lesson. Then again I can't really say I regret getting the stomach ache in the first place. 14.) Becoming a healer isn't as fun as you think. Between internships and the possibility that you'll come across a paitent that you won't be able to cure being a Healer is a double-edge sword. On one had you feel a sense of pride knowing that you healed the sick and that their trust was justified. Then on the other hand, there is the chance that you have to look someone in the eye and tell them that your best isn't good enough. 13.) Blood purity doesn't mean anything these days. With all the rights going to those half-breeds and filth it seems like the wizarding world is going down hill. the first time I learned this I found a werewolf...half-blood in Slytherin. The house of the pure for crying out loud, however I couldn't deny that she was smart and cunning. If only she was born under different circumstances. 12.) Purebloods are probably Hypocrites. my previous statement before only proves that we indeed are closed-minded and unable to see the right things in people because we try so hard to separate ourselves on things that don't matter. Still no matter how much I say or try and prove that I'm not a blood purist I would never date, touch or associate with anyone not pure unless I absolutely had too. Not mention I'm sure I'd be disowned if I did. 11.) School was the easiest part of life. No matter how much you fantasize about moving out and getting your own place, it's a lot harder than you would think. Even though my family happens to be very wealthy and more than willing to help me out, I feel as if I have to do it on my own to be a man. I don't want to have to rely on my mother and father to do everything for me. My father understands this but my mother doesn't but my father says that's because I'll always be her baby in her eyes. 10.) There's no right answer. Sometimes you're put into situations where you can't make a right choice even if it was offered to you a silver platter. That's okay though because these situations will make you stronger. Eventually you'll find that these situations make you a better and stronger person. Each time it will become easier until you know exactly how to avoid and deal with such predicaments. If only I knew that before I cut out most of the people I cared for. 9.) You won't always get along with your family but they're the only ones you'll have when the day is done. As many times as I wished I was an only child, or that my last was different I would've actually change it if I could. I learned that family will embarrass you and make you scream but they'll always be there. I wish that I didn't become estranged from my brothers but sometimes you can't change the way things have turned out. 8.) History of magic isn't a useless class. If only I had the attention span of my friend Thalia I would've stayed awake and then I wouldn't be trying to look up answer to things. It turns out a lot of historical figures were poisoned by plants and potions...which might explain why they had diseases and such named after them....my bad. 7.) Never forget to floo or write your mom. I'll never forget the howler my mother sent to my flat after I had ignored for her two weeks and that dinner the following days. I was sure the daggers she was throwing with her eyes would kill me before the night was through. Thankfully after apologizes, a bouquet of flowers and lunch promise I was saved from total annihilation. 6.) St.mungos is an excellent place to work. Of course some people hate hospitals and I was a bit skeptic of my career choice during my seventh year so I switched choices a lot. However had I known how much I would enjoy being a healer I would've focused more on healer oriented classes instead of just coincidentally having all of the required classes and grades. 5.) You should always speak your mind. During my fifth year I had this secret and I wanted to tell my best friend but I was worried it would make the friendship weird. Obviously I kept it to myself, no need to give my brothers blackmail but I kind of wished I hadn't. Then again I'm way more confident now than I was when I was fifteen. 4.) There are times when you have to let life happen. As much as I hated to admit it, knowing Thalia with Wallace really killed me but I knew that I should've said something sooner, as a matter of fact I have still yet to tell her what I actually think of her. Sure out parents were friends and school and we grew up together but I could never see her as family....ever. 3.) Some mistakes can't be fixed. No matter how much you wanr to change the hands of time, once they happened things are set. Like when I moved out and started my job...I couldn't go back and become a first year again. So when I didn't tell her...it was locked in time and I missed out. 2.) Pets suck. Pets are for people that are lonely....oh yeah...that's right. 1.) You don't always get the girl. Even know when I see her during family holidays when everyone gets together I can't help but wonder what would happen if I said something. Now she's in her last year and worried about her classes and her futures and I could never impose on her happiness. It doesn't make seeing them together or knowing they're together any easier. Let's us all just be friend, And together we can start a new trend. |
