[atrb=width,240] studies had never really been something that seemed important to Donovan. he was a smart kid but he had issues with applying himself. yet he still managed to pull outstandings in most of his classes, taking the occasional excellent or acceptable. usually grades like that came from classes that he wasn't interested in at all, like Divination. even being a supernatural creature like he was, he found that stuff to be a load of bull. not to mention the professor had seemed whacked out of her bloody tree. Flying was another class that he was never particularly good at. he liked his feet flat upon the ground. not to mention that he could generally go faster then a broom on foot so it seemed useless to him. he really only applied himself when something was important. his O.W.L's or N.E.W.T's for instances. there as no way he was going to flunk through them, not when he knew he could do better. books had always been a major love of his. a great escape for him from his life within the orphanage. his Professor's would constantly see him with his nose in a book but then when they tried to get him to participate in class he had zero interest. the only classes he ever really actually tried in was Potions and History of Magic. he had never expected to continue on his education, believing that after Hogwarts that would be it for him. however, when both Nyla and Dahlia had enrolled in University he had a compelling feeling to do so as well. his main reason for enrolling had been to be there to protect his friends, especially Nyla. with her obsession with Vampires, someone had to be there to make sure the girl didn't wind up getting herself dead. never in his wildest dreams did he ever think he would get to know any of the Professor's but in his freshman year that had changed. though he was majoring in Literature he had taken Potions simply for his love of them. that was when he had come to meet Professor Sawbridge. not only was he the Potions Professor but he was also his head of house. yet it was neither of those things that the two had bounded over. as it turned out Hugh had known his father and not in a good way either. not that this really surprised Donovan, it seemed his father had more enemies then friends. at first the thought had terrified Donovan. he had never come across someone that had known either of his parents before. just the fact that someone knew what he was without him having to tell them had scared him at the time. even if Hugh hadn't been the biggest fan of his father's for a little while Donovan really didn't know what to make of the man. constantly looking over his shoulder, almost as though he was expecting his father to show up at any given moment. when his father never showed up though, he slowly begun trusting the older man. Donovan had heard of teacher pets before, but he went way beyond that. as the years passed he actually begun looking up to Hugh, almost like the father figure that he never had. when Donovan would get in trouble, and he got in his fair share, Hugh would often intervene and promise the fellow staff member that he would punish Donovan himself. once they were in his office he usually got questioned on what the hell he was thinking. the first time Hugh had intervened then proceed to question him in an almost father like way Donovan really hadn't known how to react. aside from Nyla and Dahlia he had never really had anyone care for him. it had been an odd but refreshing feeling. now they were sort of more like friends then student and Professor. Donovan would sit by and laugh whilst Hugh complained about the occasional student or staff member. he was also someone that Donovan could turn to for advice, which was exactly why he was sauntering his way down to his office at the moment. the senior felt in over his head when it came to the two girls in his life and he needed another prospective. he knew that Hugh would be that prospective. his hair had been ruffled by the wind that had taken over the campus grounds. fall was definitely springing into the air. days were getting shorter and the nights were getting longer. majority of the girls were beginning to wear jeans more and putting away their shorts, with much reluctance from what he could tell. girls who chose to conceal their body a bit more were the ones that intrigued Donovan. more so then the ones that put everything out there for everyone to see. don't get him wrong, he never complained about seeing a bit to much skin but he generally went for the ones that held some secret to them. it actually seemed like he was into the girls who lacked the confidence they rightfully deserved. looking around as he reached the corridor leading down to Hugh's office. for the most part the campus seemed to be deserted. students for the most part seemed to be keeping to their dorm rooms on a night as cold as tonight. it was actually eerily quiet. as the wind whistled through the cracks in the windows. shrugging his shoulders he continued down the corridor. debating on if he should have owled Hugh first. after all he could have been entertaining a lady friend. if he was he would just come back. peaking in the Potions classroom first, to make sure he wasn't hiding in there. when he spotted no one he continued on down to the office. knocking once upon the door then entering. "where you hiding old man?" Donovan laughed as he took up the chair across from Hugh's desk. "if your back there with some chick, i'll come back later." lifting his leg and crossing it across his thigh, making himself right at home. Hugh's office was much better then some of the offices he had been in over the years. resting his head back against the chair he sighed heavily. "if not i need some advice. girls are going to be the bloody death of me, i swear." the last part was muttered. though Donovan was sure Nyla was literally going to be the death of him. running off into late night meetings with vampire's, what the hell was the girl thinking! Donovan was almost tempted to convince Hugh to give Nyla a week's of detention for something just to keep the girl save. unfortunately Nyla was a Slytherin so that wouldn't work in his favor.

non-alcoholic of course, you’re a bit too young for alcohol.” he teased slowly, getting his own back for the old man comment. hugh paused, watching the young boy patiently, ready to help him. helping donovan was always in hughs best interests.

[atrb=width,240] he had to admit, it was kinda odd having a Professor on his side. after all, most Professor's seemed to have it out for their students from Donovan's experience. not that it was a bad feeling, he'd much rather get in trouble through Hugh then other Professor's. it saved him a hell of a lot of detention time that was for sure. what was the nice thing about it though was the fact that Donovan finally had a sense of belonging. he hadn't had that sine he had met Nyla when he was a child. with the way he had grown up, belonging was an actually big deal with him. sure, he seemed to fit right in throughout most of his life. there was always that nagging voice in the back of his head though that would remind him that he was different then those around him. part of him feeling as though if they knew what he was, they'd think him some sort of monster. that was something he never had to worry about with Hugh though. the man had known from the moment that he met him that he was a vampire. after all, his father didn't exactly keep it a secret that he was a vampire. Donovan didn't know his story nor did he really want to know it. he never really want to ever cross paths with the man, but something told him that he was going to sooner then he thought. he couldn't shake the feeling like he was being watched, and from the way it made him feel he could tell the person wasn't friendly. whenever Donovan would look around though, he couldn't see anyone. sure he was used to being looked at by the female sex but this was nothing like that. it felt almost evil, sinister even and Donovan didn't want to think about it. there was only one person that he knew that could cause that kind of feeling in someone. Markus, his father. the thought alone gave him chills because of Nyla. if she caught wind of a vampire even within feet of the campus she'd be off in search of him, no matter what he could do to her. it was just Donovan's ill luck that she had caught onto a rumor of a vampire near campus. which had made his blood run even more cold then it already was. it was honestly thankful for him that he didn't sleep, because it gave him more time to watch out for his best friend. even just thinking about it now had Donovan on edge, wanting to leave where he was and go to check to make sure his friend was save. the girl was going to give him an ulcer if that was even possible for a vampire. scrubbing his hand down over his face as he waited for Hugh to surface from the back of his office. trying to push these thoughts from his mind for the time being before he really did bolt from the chair he sat in. a grin broke out across his lips as Hugh finally emerged into the office. apparently Donovan wasn't the only one suffering through some issues. the man looked like he hadn't slept in a week! "don't take this the wrong way, but you look like crap. you alright?" he asked, concerned etching its way onto his features. this whole advice giving, talking streak usually worked both ways. "or have you been uh busy with a member of the opposite sex?" honestly, Donovan opted for the second option. he didn't want to think about something bothering the man that had been like a father to him since he started at University. "haven't i always been the novice?" Donovan laughed, trying to keep the mood light. "you are after all, my Professor." he teased. even though there was only actually seven years between the two of them. which spoke loads of the difference between how old his father was and how old the man actually appeared. sighing heavily when Hugh nearly guessed his problem right on. "not just Nyla i'm afraid. though that girl is going to give me an ulcer. is that even possible for a vampire?" he wasn't technically alive so he didn't have completely functioning organs but he was only half vampire so that just confused him. "she's heard rumors of a vampire on campus. not me i'm afraid. actually, who it might be scares me even more." there was only one person out there that actually scared Donovan and Hugh knew that was his father. "its Dahlia too." he finally added, watching the man walk over to get himself a drink. "nah, i'm alright. drink enough of that stuff down at work." he was just thankful to have a laid back boss like Sebastian. not many got off as lucky as he did in that sense and Sebastian was a pretty cool guy. "its what i get for being best friends with two gorgeous girls like them." he honestly knew he was talking in riddles since he hadn't actually told Hugh what was wrong yet. he was going to confuse him he was sure, but that would just be funny.

Hugh knew that donovan was sometimes the type to pry though, especially when it came to hugh because donovan liked to know everything that was going on. hugh winked playfully at donovan saying that he was his professor. “and don’t you forget it!” he grinned knowing that sometime soon they would have to get down with the serious business of sorting out what was wrong with donovan. hugh thought about donovan’s question for a few seconds, biting his lip as he tried to remember. “hmm..well I know it’s impossible for full vampires to get ulcers but half vampires? It’s always tricky to know. you are all so different that some might be able to get ulcers, others can’t. I think if you haven’t had an ulcer your whole life then you probably can’t get them,” hugh replied, knowing that donovan probably didn’t care and the fact that nyla was winding him up was a lot more important. Hugh frowned as he listened to donovan’s story. “shes going after vampires? Silly girl!” he exclaimed, rolling his eyes at how stupid people could be at times. vampires were dangerous at the best of times. “so do you want me to have words with her? tell her how dangerous it can be in full detail to scare her a bit? it might stop her doing it. I’ll play it up a bit?” he suggested, trying to be as helpful as possible. hugh paused, knowing what donovan meant. “it wouldn’t be him. don’t worry. And even if it was I’d deal with it for you you know I would.” he said slowly and darkly, leaning in so he could speak quietly. Hugh rolled his eyes slightly. donovan knew full well that hugh hated it when he talked in riddles. “come on boy. spit it out then. I haven’t got all bloody night to sort out your problems!” he exclaimed, shaking his head at him slowly. “yeah it’s your fault for having female friends. its bad enough having to cope with girls as girlfriends but when your not getting anything in return…well I don’t know why you bother!” hugh exclaimed, smirking slightly at donovan. hugh wasn’t the greatest person at dealing with girls and their emotions, which was probably why he didn’t have a girlfriend.

[atrb=width,240] laughing at his question Donovan shrugged his shoulders. [color="cause i mean it with sincerity?" he replied, with a grin. "though no, in all honesty you look as though you haven't slept in a month." it wasn't like Hugh to appear anything less then Professional, even when around him. sure there was the odd time but that was more so weekend attire and he had grown use to it, but this was different. there was no missing the redness in the older man's eyes and the mess to his hair. it just wasn't Hugh. Donovan was sure something must have been seriously bugging him, but he would push if he wasn't ready to talk about it. it must have been a male thing really. it wasn't that at all though, Donovan just felt like he owed Hugh that much. after all the man never pushed him in conversations. he just usually let him come to him when Donovan was ready. unless of course he was in trouble. that was a completely different story though. acting as though he as trying to see behind Hugh he laughed and leaned back in his seat. "if she was passed out yes. what else would you have to do?" Donovan grinned, then softly shook his head. frowning at Hugh's answer, he tried not to sigh. he really didn't understand it. Hugh was probably wanted by more then half of the female student population. Donovan was sure he had more then enough offers rolling in, yet he never seemed to accept them. he usually didn't worry himself with his Professor's sex life, but Hugh seemed as though he needed a women's touch. not to mention that Hugh wasn't exactly just a Professor to him. the frown left his lips though as he laughed at his response. "yeah, i can understand why you'd worry about that." the laughter rang through his reply and he decided to drop the subject. his marks were well enough off that he knew that wasn't the real reason, but he wasn't going to push the topic. "well, if you ever need anything i am always available to listen." he offered instead, with a casual shrug. letting him know that he was letting the topic go. "yes sir Professor Sawbridge sir." a grin spread across his lips as he gave him a mock salute, laughing. they had a close relationship but Donovan knew when it was time to respect the man as a Professor and when it was okay to talk like they were. though it helped that he was a Slytherin, since Hugh generally favored them. listening to the response, it seemed to make enough sense. he had never once gotten an ulcer, and definitely not from Nyla. he adored the girl, just some times her decisions weren't always the wisest. she was human though and allowed to make mistakes. Donovan would be there to help her clean them up no matter what. "makes sense." he nodded, honestly taking what Hugh had said in. groaning at Hugh's question Donovan ran his hand through his hair. "not only going after them, she has this obsession with them. which is exactly why she doesn't know i am one. imagine if i told her?" rolling his eyes at this, a heavy sigh escaping his lips. "thats one of two things i haven't told her. add in the fact that i am pretty damn sure i'm in love with her and its just a combination ready to explode." a slight grumble escaped his lips. "i tell her i like her and tell her i am a vampire and she's guaranteed to only like me back because i am a vampire. yet i don't know how many more times i can save her without telling her what i am." explaining how he always managed to be at the right spot at the right time was hard. explaining how he managed to damage guys that were twice his size was even harder. "no, i doubt you talking to her would help. no offense. i am her best friend and she doesn't listen to me." which she really should, he wanted to add but Hugh already knew that. "i hope not but if Nyla or myself don't turn up some time in the future, then you know why." perhaps he was being a bit dramatic but he didn't put anything past his father. "as if that wasn't enough you know. Dahlia, well, these feelings have been stirred up inside me again for her. i mean, they were there when we were younger but then she met her husband and i backed off. she's my best friend, that should be enough. ever since she lost her husband and kid though i've sorta been there for her. one night, things got a bit out of hand one night last year. she drank a bit too much and kissed me and thank merlin for control cause i managed to stop her. or myself anyways. i haven't told her about it and she obviously doesn't remember but those damn feelings of mine keep snaking around the whole thing. wonder if she kissed me because of the alcohol or because she wanted too." it sounded trivial really but these were the problems that had been plaguing him. "they all sound trivial at best. liking two girls. two girls that are my best friends. neither of which know the truth about me." groaning he dropped his head back against the chair. "amen to that." Donovan had his fair share of girls, yet that didn't make him any closer to figuring these two out. why did hormones have to go and get in the way? being in love with Nyla he could handle, even if he was slowly loosing grip on that too. "then people wonder why i don't stick to relationships." this all wasn't exactly the reason, but it certainly seemed to fit at the moment.

I’ve been told by some of my more confident students, mostly the female ones. god I’m losing my touch!” he exclaimed, half joking. of course hugh liked to keep his image up and yes he did get satisfaction by the fact that many of his students fancied him but he didn’t truly care what most of them thought about him. just that one special student. to be fair he hadn’t expected anyone to see him tonight. if he had been expecting donovan he was have a shirt on and his hair would be done. hugh wouldn’t have been able to do a lot with his eyes but sorting out his hair and clothes would have made him look a whole lot better. hugh was basically ready for bed but he knew helping out donovan was a lot more important right now. hugh laughed at donovan’s comment. “well she would be passed out after I was finished with her.” he said, laughing softly, grinning at donovan. hugh couldn’t help but love the fact that there was someone he could speak so openly with, even if it was a student. the fact that donovan was several years younger then him didn’t seem to bother him. the two men were very similar and hugh couldn’t help but be so relaxed around him, even though it was highly unprofessional. hugh was very much safe in the knowledge that donovan wasn’t going to tell anyone though. “oh I know that look. your thinking I’m crazy because out of all the female attention I get I can’t pick one of them right?” he asked, his eyebrows raised. just because hugh was relaxed around donovan he seemed to think that hugh was able to be this relaxed about any student that took hugh’s fancy. “oh yes I can picture it now. ‘no sorry headmaster I couldn’t mark any work because I was sleeping with a student’ no donovan. it’s more then my jobs worth. I could lose my job if anyone caught me. oh and before you say it I’m like this with you because if anyone found it, although it’s be deemed unprofessional, they wouldn’t fire me over it.” he explained carefully, rolling his eyes slightly. hugh was slightly impressed as donovan let the whole topic drop. it was quite scary how well the pair knew each other and knew when to pursue something and when to let it drop. like hugh knew never to press donovan when he had problems and hugh just waited for donovan to come to him, unless it was something that could harm donovan. hugh smirked at the mock salute and shook his head slightly, unable to really believe he was letting a student get away with such cheek. “one day mr vladislav I am going to give you so much detention for all the grief you give me!” he exclaimed, laughing softly. hugh couldn’t explain how such closeness with a student came about. he guessed it was firstly because donovan was in slytherin, a house which of course he favoured because it was his own house but it hadn’t just been that. it was something about donovan that was special. was it because hugh had known his father? or because donovan and hugh were very similar to each other. hugh wasn’t sure which. hugh frowned slightly listening to the boy before pausing to think of a reply. “if you are so sure that your in love with her then why can’t you just tell her that? then if she feels the same about you then you know it’s just down to the fact that she likes you as a person and not just because you’re a vampire.” he said slowly, watching donovan for his reply. “and then if she does like you and you get into a relationship and what not you can tell her the truth about being half vampire.” hugh wasn’t entirely sure about the ins and outs of donovan and nyla but it made sense for donovan to tell her if he loved her. hugh frowned slightly at the thought of donovan getting hurt. it actually worried hugh that he might get into trouble. hugh cared about the boy, a lot. the boy was practically like his son and it would really hurt hugh if something ever happened to him. “don’t be stupid. if you ever get into any trouble you contact me somehow ok?” he told him sternly as he looked at him carefully. “I would come and help you, any time of day, whatever you are faced with. don’t ever hesitate to contact me.” hugh sighed softly at the mention of dahlia. Hugh knew that previously the pair had had something going on but that had gone when her husband had come along. hugh bit his lip, not wanting to upset donovan. “it seems to me that the fact she was drunk and hasn’t done anything when she’s been sober says a lot. I mean she’s probably wanting to have some sort of comfort after losing so much and you are so sweet and kind that she came to you. you need to talk to her. confront her about you two kissing when you were drunk and see how she takes it.” he explained slowly, trying to be the voice of reason. “look sometimes I know it’s hard to pick but you really need to sit down and think about who you really want to be with. I do really think it’s important to speak to both girls though.” he said slowly, as he peered at the ground. hugh desperately hoped that his advice was good. he knew how hard it was to make a decision but sometimes it just had to be done.

[atrb=width,240] though Donovan could tell there was seriously something going on with Hugh, he didn't want to push the topic any further. the older man didn't seem to want to talk about it, so it was in Donovan's best interest just to let it go. if it was something serious then he would eventually share with the younger man. at least, he hoped he would. "fair enough." he nodded dismissively. allowing the topic to rest for now. trying to convince himself that perhaps he was just over reacting. Hugh may have simply been up late one to many nights grading papers. Donovan was sure it was a bit of a tedious job, grading that was, and could make anyone look like crap if they had been doing to much of it. this was the best excuse that he could use to keep himself from worrying about Hugh. after all that he had done for him, it was just a natural reaction. "can't be doing all of that bad if the girls are still noticing you." he said, referring to Hugh loosing his touch. though Donovan was sure girls would pay attention to Hugh no matter what. even if he rolled around in dirt for hours on end and didn't bathe for a month. girls would still be attracted to him. laughing, Donovan simply shook his head at his friends comment. "yes, but i gather you'd be passed out with her. so its really a moot point." grinning, as he teased his friend. it was weird how Donovan could feel like he was just talking to one of the guys when he was around Hugh. like that Professor part of him just disappeared to him and they were simply pals. shrugging his shoulders and nodding his head at Hugh's question, it was one thing the male didn't really understand. it wasn't as though any of the female students weren't consenting adults at the University. so he didn't understand how it could put Hugh's job at risk. just because the girls were students, didn't exactly mean they were Hugh's students. there were several different classes to enroll in at the University and as long as Hugh wasn't teaching then Donovan didn't see the problem. "who says that the headmaster has to know?" raising his eyebrow back at Hugh, then shaking his head. "i hardly doubt you'd sleep with a student when you had work to do but you are allowed a little fun every now and then." though he was just simply pointing out the obvious. "sure, some times girls don't exactly know how to keep a secret." he'd give Hugh that much. girls loved to gossip. "however, i'm sure ninety nine percent of the girls that would be glad to sleep with you know what it entails. secrecy and all. hell, half of them probably get turned on by the aspect." that whole risk aspect was often a great factor for flings and the works. "besides, there are several girls out there who aren't your students. that technically can't be against the rules. if all else fails go for girls that aren't students at all. one night at nitro and i'm sure you'd find plenty." Donovan saw all sorts of different girls while he was at work. some he recognized from the University and some he didn't. girls from all over generally came to the club. "if you don't get out and have some fun soon, i'll be forced to bring it to you. either that, or your going to have to learn to use the sleepless look to your favor." much like Donovan himself had and girls never once complained about how he looked. "nah, you wouldn't cause then i'd just be around more to give you more grief." he laughed, a smirk forming on his lips. though the smirk quickly fell as the conversation turned back to his problems. running a hand through his already ruffled hair, a sigh escaping his lips. "because." he knew it wasn't a real response but he was getting there. "if and when i tell Nyla how i feel about her, i'd much rather not get into anything with this massive secret hanging over my head. i've kept it from her this long and its practically driven me insane. imagine if i told her how i felt about her and still had this secret? it just wouldn't work. besides, aren't you suppose to head into relationships with nothing to hide? being open and honest?" Donovan raised his eyebrow at the man across from him. "then there is the whole, she'll probably want me to turn her thing..." his voice trailed off as goosebumps spread across his skin. "i've never turned anyone. never bitten anyone since back at the orphanage. i just... i can't imagine..." shaking his head profusely, it just wasn't something he thought he could do. unless it was to save his best friends life. nodding his head softly, Donovan knew Hugh would be there for him for whatever he needed. though he really had no desire to put someone else's life at risk. "thanks." he said softly, still not completely use to actually having someone care for him. it was different then the way Dahlia and Nyla cared for him. listening to way Hugh rationalized what had happened between himself and Dahlia, it made sense. something his own mind couldn't put together. "she knows about how i feel about Nyla. don't think that could factor into anything do you?" Donovan asked. it wasn't that he wanted Dahlia to have feelings for him, there was nothing really he could do about it anyways. she wasn't ready for a relationship and he had Nyla. it was just one big confusing old mess. talk to both girls. neither were conversations that Donovan looked forward to having with either girl. "you're probably right." there was no probably about it. he did need to talk to both girls. "i'm pretty sure girls come out of the womb thinking, i'm going to make this guys life miserable." he exclaimed with a groan. something he nearly believed was true.
