Joram had been sleeping in the Slytherin Common Room for a few days now and he knew what he had to do. Even if the guys in the house didn't approve, Eddie was still his friend and what he said was beyond forgiveness. That wouldn't stop Joram from trying to make things right. He was brought up better than that and even if he lived in a house full of Death Eaters, Joram knew that blood type didn't mean anything. He was considered a dirt-blood by any standard, even though he was a pureblood the vampirisim made it more difficult to find a suitable mate and procreate. Now that the entire school knew about him and Rodolphus, how was he going to take to the name calling and the slurs. Black Dago.

Rubbing his hands together, violet eyes moved to the clock that struck five pm. Dinner time. Standing up, Joram left the common room and went straight for the Great Hall. His face had been scarce in the mess hall, but if he knew there was one place he could for certain find Eddie, it was here. Pushing open the oak doors all eyes seemed to rest on him. Making a beeline for the Ravenclaw table he spotted that curly mop of hair. Swallowing hard he tapped Eddie's shoulder.

"Ca-can I talk with you? Outside preferably?" Joram's voice was quiet and low, he would take anything the boy could possibly give him as Jorrie wasn't normally a fighter. The other day was one of the first times he's ever acted out and he was afraid his father would find out he was on cocaine. That fear set him straight the past two days. Going about his dealings silently, hardly talking to his clients and those he was selling the hard liquor to, but it all felt wrong. Caitlin was usually at his side with all of her pep, but whenever he walked by her or she caught his eye she would give him a death stare.

Nodding his head to the doors he looked at the Ravenclaw table and his cousin was leaning over the solid slab of wood. "What if he doesn't want to Five. You said some really mean and unforgivable things to him." Adeline's voice boomed through the room calling unwanted attention. "You should just leave the kid alone, you've already done enough damage." Her icy blue eyes met his deep violet ones as he stood up more straight.

"Eddie, the offer is on the table, it's really important. I'll just be in the entry way if you make up your mind. Also. Adeline keep out of business that isn't yours." With that, Joram let his boots click on the solid stone floor and left the great hall. Pulling the black bottle from his messenger bag he took a few swigs and placed it back where it belonged. Leaning against a pillar he looked out over the lawn and waited for Eddie.

Five pm, and like clock work, young Eddie was down in the Great Hall, filling his plate with food. When it came to meals, Eddie tried to be pretty punctual. Having a dependency on food would do that to a guy. It was only a quick break from work though. With everything that had happened lately, and with Cait sharing a room with him, he had found it hard to organize his thoughts and keep focused of trivial things like homework. He had a small pile of assignments now though, and he knew he was going to have to try and bash them out sometime. And considering Cait was going to be in class tonight, it was now or never.

He ate quickly, quite unlike him, finishing off schnitzel in only a few minutes and now working on his veggies. He was normally more polite than this, and he apologized and laughed about it with those dinning next to him. He didn't notice Joram coming up behind him. He could tell something was wrong though, the way the conversation around him died, and the faces of others dropped. There was something bad behind him, that's what he figured. Then he felt a tap.

He turned around slowly to look up at Joram, and suddenly a rush of feeling he had been pretending didn't exist came rushing to the surface, showing on his face as sorrow and fear. Eddie would admit that the first few thought on his brain were of Joram's well being, but there was an ugly voice that did pipe up and make him think, 'Fuck... what did he want?'

"Ca-can I talk with you? Outside preferably?"

Like the well trained dog he was- so said his self loathing- Eddie was going to be quick to reply with an 'ok', but Adeline, from across the table, jumped to his defense and chewed Joram out for him. Eddie stared at the girl with wonder. He never knew she felt this way, and was honoured that she would stick up for him. Joram left them alone after that, and Eddie watched him go to wait at the door. he took this opportunity to think, just for a moment, but then with a sigh, turned to smile at Adeline. "I really appreciate you standing up for me, Adeline, but I think there are some things that need to be said." With that, he folded up his napkin, pushed away from the table with a polite, "Excuse me," and headed for the door.

Eddie nodded to Jor, and with a quick glance around at all the eyes that were following them, ushered the boy out into the hall where they could be alone. Feeling that, also, wasn't secluded enough, he headed out the front door, into the cold night air. "Hey..." He said softly, giving his old friend a soft, sad smile. He crossed his arms over his chest and tried to make himself look small, keeping his eyes on the ground.

"So... what's up?"

With his arms crossed he looked out over the lawn not really expecting Eddie to show up in the slightest, a lot of nasty words were said and with what Rodolphus told him there were going to be many more apologies. Following Eddie through the front doors and completely outside he pulled a pack of cigarettes from the breast of his pocket, propped one between his lips and offered one to Eddie. Lighting up, Joram took in a deep breath and exhaled. Cigarettes didn't usually make it into his stash, but since Rabastan started smoking he could only offer to sell them to him for cheaper than he could get them. Also, Joram was apt for trying anything once and this was all he had left over.

Rubbing his face lightly, Joram had never really been in this predicament, he's never been so mean to someone that there was the possibility of losing them entirely. Joram was certain he had reached that point, but the pain of losing Eddie and Caitlin in one night and never talking to them again pushed him over the edge. "I said some really horrible things that I didn't know I was saying." How could he explain without looking like an idiot that he forgot everything he said. Joram had never been so piss assed drunk that he couldn't remember, he never lost control like that, it was only then did he realize he had a problem. It wasn't the alcohol, but the drugs, it was Rod. He was addicted to Rodolphus, but he couldn't admit that as he loved the guy.

"Eddie, I didn't mean what I called you at all, I didn't know what I was saying. Rod told me all about it up until Caitlin outed me in front of the entire student body. I probably deserved it, but you didn't deserve me calling you a Muggle-Born." Joram really did hate the term mud-blood, considering he was technically a dirt-blood due to the fact he was a vampire. They were similar terms and he couldn't stress how sorry he was to Eddie. Anguish came over his face as he let out a breath he hadn't realized he was holding. "I was just having a shitty day and I took it out on Caitlin and I pulled you into it. I guess I'm jealous that she has you and she's happy and I know I shouldn't be, but everything is just so complicated and I only made it more complex."

Joram looked down at his hands as they started to shake. He was trying to hold back from crying so he propped the cigarette between his lips and looked up at the sky willing his tears to go away. It wasn't work, nothing was working. "It's just... I don't know how to apologize, I've never been into this type of fight before. I mean, I've been in fights over alcohol and drugs, but never with my friends and never like this." Wiping a tear from his eye, Joram looked over at Eddie. "If you don't want to be my friend anymore, I'll be okay with that. I was mean and outright rude. It was all uncalled for and I'd love to blame it on someone else, but it was all me. I'm really sorry." Never had he felt this bad. When he was without Rodolphus for a while it was horrible, but it was bearable, this was just like stabbing yourself in the stomach over and over again. He hated it.

Sniffing up the snot that was beginning to form in his nose, Joram looked back over at Eddie. "If you have any questions to ask me about what happened I'll tell you, I'll tell you everything."

Eddie took one of the cigarette's gratefully and lit up with his own lighter from his pocket. Smoking was a dirty secret of his. He had been trying to quit since he broke up with his ex more than a year ago, but they were damn hard things to give up. he had nearly kicked the habit a few times, but stressful situations, like the fight in the dinning hall, always broke him down. HE took a long pull on the expensive cigarette and blew the smoke out in a sigh. He twirled the cigarette around in his fingers and kept his eyes on the ground as he listened to the boy talk. He had mixed emotions about everything. He didn't believe he could stay angry at someone who wasn't really in control of themselves at the time. Yet, part of him new that feelings that strong had to stem from somewhere.

He chuckled slightly as the boy apologized, "You mean when you called me a Mudblood?" He corrected, looking up at Joram with his gentle eyes, "I am a muggleborn, Jor. You called me a mudblood." He shrugged, and tried to keep his thoughts straight with another pull on the cancer stick. "It's fine... really," no, it wasn't, "It's not like it's something I'm not used to. Guess I just didn't expect you to feel that way..."

He ran his free hand through his curls and pulled, trying to clear up his mind. He knew he was going to forgive Joram, and he wasn't sure if that's what he was supposed to do. He felt like a push over. He felt spineless. But he also feel empty, and he knew that last one would go away once he forgave his friends. All residual pain faded with time, he just hoped he wasn't going to get himself into another abusive relationship. God, he was an idiot, wasn't he? He wished he knew how to deal with people.

"You know we'd never cut you out." He said quietly, giving Joram a faint smile, " Dude... you're our best friend. All you had to do was tell us you were lonely, or whatever, and we would have come over to comfort you- asked you to join in on the snuggles." he laughed, but it was brief, "Besides, you were drunk.... you really can't be held acountable for what you said..." he lied to himself.

Joram began to cry suddenly. Eddie hadn't expected this. He always pictures the boy as some tough, king of the world. He wasn't supposed to cry. If he had something to cry about... what did that mean for the rest of them? Eddie hated tears. They made him uncomfortable. All this years and he still didn't know how to deal with them. They tugged at his heartstrings and forced him to act without thinking. He didn't want his friend to be sad anymore.

Without saying anything, Eddie took a step towards Joram and wrapped his arms around him, pulling him close. He wished he was taller so that the embrace would have felt more comforting, and less like Eddie was trying to just his chin into the boy's shoulder, but what could you do. "Don't cry man." He said soothingly, rubbing his friends back, "It's alright- we're alright, okay? I forgive you." He sighed and pulled back so that he could smile at him. "Besides, it's Cait you're gonna have to apologize to. Boy, is she pissed of with you!"

Eddie let go of Joram and leand against the wall next to him, so close their shoulders pressed against each other. "So... Roddy, eh?" He smiled understandingly, "I guess I know why you to kept disappearing at Parties together... wanna talk about it?"

Bad, wasn't even close to how he felt. No, Joram Mortelle felt like the biggest douchebag that had ever walked the Earth. He dissed both of his friends in the public eye and now, he wasn't sure that he could regain that trust back. "I know what I said, I mean, I don't really know, but Rod told me, and I truly am sorry Eddie. I don't feel that way about you, about anything about muggle-borns. I honestly don't care." He was trying so hard and once the arms were around him he just started to sob. Joram was soft, he put on this huge facade when things were going alright, but there were things that he felt no one else would ever be able to understand. Only he had the ability to live with it for the rest of his life.

"You don't understand Eddie, I have to live with what I said forever, and for me that's a very long time." Looking around as the boy stepped back, Joram rubbed his eyes void of all makeup as it began to smear. Why the hell did he have to be such a sap? Why the hell did he have to drink tequila? "I know Cait's mad, I would be pissed if I were her. She's been glaring at me every time I pass, but I have an idea on how to apologize. I don't know if I'm going to be coming back to the Hufflepuff dorm for a while and I want you to know that I wouldn't let them change me." Joram didn't really know how to explain it so he took a breath and looked over at Eddie as he mention Rod. His cheeks flared and looked down at the ground.

Crossing his arms across his chest Joram kicked a wall lightly. "Look, we were trying to keep it hush hush. One night we got really drunk and we both decided what the hell. Before then we were extremely close friends, closer than you and I and even closer than me and Cait were." Pulling the bottle out of his bag once more. "Don't worry, I can't get drunk off of this." Nervousness set in, he never really had anyone to talk to outside their little circle and now that the entire school knew he needed to talk about it. "Back to me and Rod, well we had a little falling out, that's why I was messed up when I met you in the corridor the other week. The song I wrote was about him, we were both confused, but now we talked it over and things were straightened out and then Cait went and had to blow it all. He's embarrassed, almost to embarrassed to show his face anymore. So we're writing it off as a drunken fling. I don't know how that's going to affect whatever fragile relationship we had."

Swallowing a few gulps from the black bottle Joram looked down at their feet. "Eddie, when I'm with him it seems like the whole world is going to be alright. Like nothing matters anymore and everything is going to be okay. I love him. I know it seems childish and the like, but he is mine. The first time we were doing the deed, I bit him." Joram flashed his little baby fangs to Eddie. "I'm not allowed to, but he consented and I couldn't help it. I've slept with plenty other people, but no one makes me feel this way aside from him. I know you've been wondering it, Cait broke her hand because I'm not a normal person, I'm a vampire. That's why I have had the face change, and why I only suffered a little bruise from her nailing me. You guys should have the right to know everything about me, I'm not going to keep secrets anymore."

Eddie believed Joram when he said that blood purity didn't matter to him, or, at least, he wanted to believe him. He wanted badly for them to not be fighting anymore, and he was willing to overlook a lot of things for them to be like they used to be. Eddie was good at putting things to the back of his mind and pretending like he forgot about them. It was why he never learned and was always getting into the same mistakes time and time again. He was just so socially stupid- a relationship idealist, blinded by his own hopes. But that didn't matter right now, because Joram really meant it.

Eddie smiled at his friend sweetly, and gave him a small bump with his shoulder, "I know you're a good guy Joram. And I know that not all Slytherins are bullies. Saying all Slytherins are evil is just as offensive as saying all Muggleborns have stolen magic. I'm sure the people you hang out with are good guys. Heck, I like Rod, and Bastion is brilliant!" He paused for s smoke break, and shook his head when his friend mentioned Cait, "She'll get over it, trust me. She hates this fighting as much as you do, and I bet she's ready to make up anytime now."

That strange brand of wine came out again, and Eddie eyed it suspiciously. Even if Joram told him it was fine, Eddie was going to be antsy around the mixture of Joram and alcohol for a while. the boy was obviously nasty when he was loaded, and loaded Joram was not someone Eddie wanted to see for a very, very long time.

He listened respectfully as the boy talked about his relationships with Rod. of course, Eddie knew about Joram being homosexual, or somewhere in between, so he didn't bat an eye at any of the details. It was actually kind of interesting for Eddie, who always wondered how forbidden romances worked from a face point. Eddie was a sucker for secrets. He liked to be in the know, liked knowing that he could be trusted with stuff others couldn't be. He liked being dependable. he did have to speak up to defend Cait at one point, "She wouldn't have said anything if you hadn't verbally assaulted her like you did. She was trying to help you out." He didn't want to push it though. They we're still on shaky grounds, and being too rough could drive the boy off.

Eddie was ready to give his advice, when there was a sudden flash of sharp enamel in the boy's mouth. A shiver went down Eddie's spine and he froze, blue eyes wide, cigarette nearly dropping from his lips. "I knew it." he said quietly, with a fantastical look in his eyes. "That night in the forest, you dad had said something, but no one remembered but me! And then, when Cait punched you- shit! I was gonna say something to her about it, but I didn't!" He laughed, suddenly as bright and cheery as he used to be. "I can't believe it." He pulled at his hair with both his hands and sighed, "Wow... Joram..."

"I'm sorry I'm freaking out." he laughed nervously, "This should be a serious conversation, but wow..." He shook his head and tried to calm himself down, "As long as we're being honest, man, I gotta say, I freakin' love vampires." His mind was racing, and so was his heart. The idea that his friend was more than he appeared excited him. He wanted to learn from him, and just being around him felt like he could soak up some of his awesome. He tried to sooth his inner fangirl, and cleared out his throat so that he would be less likely to crackle.

"So... um... right! You and Rod?"

Rolling his shoulders back lightly and looked up at the ceiling and parts of the sky. "I know, it was all my fault and I need to make it right. She just, well she called me a Black Dago, which is very close to calling me a n-word. It cut deep. I don't know how long it's going to take me to shake that feeling. My dad was called it once by my grandfather, it... well it's really bad." Joram swallowed and looked at the ground. "And to top it all of the freak comment." Tapping his toe on the path way, Joram looked out across the dark grounds. It was dinner time to say the least, but during winter it was black as the sun hid over the peaks.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't be pissed off about it, but I am even though I caused all of this drama." Eddie began to fan girl about the vampire part and he smiled softly. "Just don't tell anyone, Rod, Rab and Integra already knew, and Caitlin, well you can tell her I guess." Clenching his jaw Jorrie looked to the ground again, he felt horrible even though Eddie seemed really enthusiastic about him being a vamper. There weren't very large differences about him, sure he was faster, stronger, healed quicker, but other than that there wasn't anything completely obvious that identified what he was.

Lifting the bottle he turned it over and showed him the butt. "Mortelle Morte Red, it's blood infused for people like me." All that showed was MMR. "More like the alcohol helps preserve the quality of blood and it helps me from flying off the handle. The other day I dove into Tequila, she and I don't get along. The last time I ever drank it was when my dad and I got into a horrible fight, things haven't really been the same since. That's why I stay away from it. Whiskey turns me on, Rum makes me fuzzy, and Grappa is like water, even though it sometimes has a higher alcoholic content." Shifting on his feet Jorrie looked over at Eddie. He was a good friend for forgiving him so easily, Joram wouldn't have done the same if it was the other way around, and he knew that it would take him a while to completely forgive Cait for the things she said, but he would try.

"Yea, I guess, me and Rod." Clenching his jaw again he looked at the ground and crossed his arms. "I don't know, we're both embarrassed about it. Sure I provoked her, but I never let any of her secrets out. He's aggravated and feels violated that I even told her, but that's what best friends do, isn't it?"

"Black Dago?" Eddie parroted in concern, with guilt on his face, " Really?! It's that bad!? Shit... I don't think she knows this- I didn't know this! If I had, I would have stood up for you man, honest!" he flicked a large length of ash from his cigarette and shook his head, "That's bad... I'm sorry, mate..." he flashed Joram a small smirk though, "But come on... freak ain't so bad, right? We're all a little freaky. And beside me, you don't look nothing like a freak."

"You have every right to be upset." Eddie smiled, pushing his luck and wrapping an arm around his friend's shoulders, "Just understand that we do too, right? you let alcohol go to your head, we let rage get to ours. It's not really that different." He nursed the rest of his cigarette, and looked down at the black bottle as Joram explained what was in it. Wine and blood. Now that was a nifty solution that he figured only an Italian vampire would come up with. They could use a solution like that back home where vampires were just given small rations a month, which caused them to be rather desperate buggers. Then again, Joram didn't seem like most vampires Eddie had met- the biggest point of this being, he could go out in the sun. He guess that the boy must be strong, but he'd be able to ask him everything he wanted to later, when they weren't dealing with much heavier shit.

Eddie frowned and leaned his head back against the stone wall of the castle, looking up at the sky, "Is he still talking to you?" He'd hate it if Cait had been the cause of the two of them breaking up, but something the boy had said earlier made him think twice about the whole relationship. "Why were you two on the rocks to begin with? You felt like he was the one, right?" He drained the last millimeter of tobacco and threw his butt off into the fresh snow. "Did he feel the same?"

Looking at the ground Joram kicked at a small pebble as it bounced across the path. "Yea, it's... well I'd rather not talk about it right now. I'm sure I'll get over it." It was true, Caitlin wasn't a Southern Italian, she didn't know better. Unlike her, Joram wore a tan very well and it was apparent that he never burned. Caitlin on the other hand would go up in smoke if she were to be in Sicily over the summer. Jor let out a small laugh. "You at least look normal." Eyeing the boy with a smile he crossed his arms.

Once Eddie's arm was across Joram's shoulders he lifted the bottle to his lips savouring the flavor over his tongue. "Yea, you guys both do. I apparently said some nasty and terrible things all because of drugs and alcohol. Normally I don't mix them, but I did the other day and I remember why I don't." Rubbing his own face lightly, Jor leaned forward to look down the corridor. "Actually, I'm not pissed off at you guys, well I'm mad at Cait for outing us and putting everything on jagged rocks, but other than that you two should be the ones who are livid with me. What I did was unforgivable, I should have never gotten mad at her for wanting to help me."

Rod. That was where the conversation went. "He told me he needed space, which I get. I want it too, but more so to be away from the crowd and everyone else. It's confusing as hell because on the other hand he doesn't want me to go. I..." Joram could feel the tears threatening again and he did the best he could to hold them back. "I told him that I loved him... but he was drunk, we made out, screwed around and the whole she-bang, but he never once answered me back. Now that... well this happened I don't even know what's going on. I promised him that he was the only guy in my life, and I'm not going to fuck around anymore, but girls are still on. I just... Eddie, I don't even know anymore. Ever since my third year he's been there. Love at first sight you know? I've been his dealer since then, only alcohol, but I loved the monthly meet-ups during the night. Shit, I even took the time to get ready and dressed, straightened my hair and everything. Butterflies, every fucking time I looked at him." Pulling back another swig from the bottle, Joram watched as the cigarette fizzled out.

“Yeah, but you at least look hot!” Eddie smirked.

Eddie listen compassionately, pulling the boy’s side in closer to him as he heard the waver in his voice, and laying his head against Joram’s. It was all he could think to do to show the boy that he really did care and wanted him to feel better. He was sure a little attention and affection was all the boy needed as proof that Eddie was still there for him. That he cared what happened to him, and wanted to make sure everything was all good. Eddie was a sucker for tears.

Eddie waited a careful amount of time, after Joram had finished talking, too think through what he was going to say next. This was a serious conversation, and he had some knowledge in the subject that he wanted to convey to the boy. But how did he do so without sounding heartless, especially just after such a strained fight. Was he just going to reopen wounds if he gave the boy his opinion? He’d already lost him once... He really didn’t want to do it again.

“You know...” He started slowly, pausing to sigh, “I’ve been there before. It fuckin messes with you mind, don’t it?” He wished he hadn’t consumed his cigarette so quickly. He needed something to fiddle with. Eddie and serious conversations didn’t go together well. They always made him fidgety. He ended up cracking his knuckles, then started rubbing his palm awkwardly against the back of his head. “Those butterflies in your stomach that you just can’t kill, no matter what you try. The nervous sweating, the pounding of your heart every time they go by- it makes you a right mess.” his eyes trailed down to the cobblestone walkway and glazed over. Lost in memories, “it’s like an addiction. You go out of your way to do things for them, and when it’s not returned, you work harder at getting their attention. And it feels good when they give it to you, but then you gotta try harder, until you’re tripping over yourself trying to just get a look from them.

“A one sided love is a wildfire that consumes you and can’t be sustained,” he sighed, breaking his train of thoughts to look back up at his friend and give his shoulders a squeeze, “You need to find out if he loves you back, else you gotta put that fire out, or risk it burning you up, man.”

“I doubt that helped...” He laughed pathetically at himself, “But it’s probably all I can do. I’ll always be around to listen though... cause you and me? We’re mates.” He smiled at Joram, “You can’t get rid of me that easily.”

Rolling his eyes Joram let out a slight laugh. The depression was killing him from the inside and he hated it, but at the same time he didn't know if he could even forgive Cait for something like that. It wasn't at all nice what she did or what she said, Joram may have started it, but he didn't push it that far, he didn't want to end their friendship, but it irritated him to know that she out right blurted a secret he entrusted her with. That was the final straw, but he wasn't about to tell Eddie what he was thinking about his girlfriend. Clenching his jaw together he nodded listening to the boy.

"I'm sure you're right, but I'm going to give him space for now. It's hard to rebound from being outted. I'm sure that I'm handling it better than him seeing as I have nearly the entire school in my pocket, but I'm still getting a little whiplash and guys have been fake hitting on me." Joram shrugged and looked up at the sky for a while. It was getting a little cloudy and appeared as though snow was going to come dumping down. Checking his watch his smile started to fade and he glanced over at Eddie.

"Thanks for letting me apologize and actually listening to me, but I've got to go do my rounds. Check stock, see whose alcohol order I drained." He didn't want to leave Eddie abruptly after the apology, but it still felt fresh. "Hey man, you know that song I wrote about love? Grab your guitar and meet me at the Hufflepuff dorms tonight after curfew, you remember where they are, yea? You and I can jam for a while and I'll play it for you. It's odd to express how I feel in words, and I haven't really played it for anyone, I just want an expert opinion is all."

I feel we're at a good closing spot, we can leave it here or you can wrap it up with Jor heading out. <3!
