HISTORY
๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ was born to Miriam and Elijah Ayers on April 27th, 1927, a wealthy Pureblood family that was mostly neutral during the reign of Grindelwald. Solomon does have a twin brother that he isnโt exactly close with at all. In September of 1939, Solomon and his brother were sorted into Slytherin where his brother immediately made friends among the other children. Solomon, however, did not and found company within the likes of muggleborns and half-bloods. He was labeled a traitor to SlytherinHouse and frequently embarrassed with very little people jumping to his defenses.In the original timeline, Solomon was pushed from the Astronomy tower by [REDACTED] during his sixth year at Hogwarts and never recovered. He eventually died of his injuries, which included collapsing organs and a shattered skeletal frame. Due to the death of his brother, the older twin eventually joins his Tom Riddleโs Knights of Walpurgis and, eventually, the Death Eaters.However, his new story is after he was approached and coerced into agreeing to be the vessel to the Angel of Death, Azrael in exchange for healing his injuries.
PERSONALITY
Solomon is a very quiet, kind, and polite individual. He doesn't like to stand out very much and will go out of his way to make friends with people from other houses. He isn't an outstanding student, though his talents do lie more in Care of Magical Creatures and Muggle Studies more than anything else. In addition, Solomon has a heartbreakingly pathetic crush on Tom Marvolo Riddle Jr. that has blinded him to the truth in what he is.Azrael is the opposite of Solomon, being very sarcastic and a, sometimes, mean spirited individual. He doesn't hold many humans in high regard, but not because they're humans, but because he tends to think that most beings are dumb, anyways. He did spend a lot of time on Earth between guiding souls into the afterlife, taking care of those who had escaped Death, and taking various vacations when he was sure the reapers could handle the workload by themselves. He holds a lot of pop culture references and will often use them to insult people or defer a situation.
LORE
As warriors of God and agents of fate, angels are extremely powerful beings in the supernatural world. They are superhuman beings superior to mortals in both power and intelligence. Their true spiritual forms or visages prove overwhelming to most mortals; however, some 'special' people can view their true visages without suffering lasting effects; demons also can't look at them in their true form without damaging their hosts. Although not physically seen as they have no physical presence or being of their own, an angel's presence has been seen or manifested on earth as a brilliant white light (or a bluish luminous smoke if they have no wings). Respectively, angels in their true form do have large swan-like wings on their backs which can range in number anywhere from two to six. When angels die after being stabbed by an angel blade, shadows of their wings are burned into the surface on which they are lying.Angels are very much capable of both developing human emotions and flaws of character, rather the majority of them choose not to show or admit to having emotions as emotions are considered doorways to doubt as well as a weakness, and they are not permitted to display emotions for the same reasons.Angels consider themselves family to one another, referring to each other as brothers and sisters. The angels also refer to God as their father. Even though God is their 'father', all angels except the archangels, Metatron, and Gadreel have never actually seen God or his true face.Due to their age and power, many angels look down upon humans and see them as inferior. Lucifer rebelled because God loved humans, a flawed and arrogant species, more than angels. Some angels continued to hold resentment to this many thousands of years later, as evidenced by Uriel and his followers. Feelings of resentment aren't universal, as some angels such as Samandriel, Joshua and Inias are much more civil with humans, while others, such as Anna, Gabriel, and (eventually) Metatron, consider them better than angels because, despite their inherent flaws, a lot of them strive to do good.While outside of a vessel, angels either appear to humans as a brilliant white light, or a bluish luminous smoke (depending if they have their wings or not). While within a vessel, angels only have their powers thanks to their grace. Without it, they are just like humans and become subject to the process of life and death, as stated by Metatron when he removed Castiel's grace. Anna stated that removing it voluntarily is very painful, comparable to a human removing a kidney.Unlike humans, because they lack physical bodies, angels do not reproduce while in their true forms, as reproduction is a purely physical process. Angels have secret knowledge pre-programmed into their being that they aren't even aware of. The screams an angel makes when tortured sends out ripples that cause strange occurrences, such a glass bottle shattering or a bush lighting on fire.When angels fall from Heaven, they appear like meteors to the human eye. However, being expelled from Heaven due to this spell, doesn't deny angels their Heavenly powers, although it burns off their wings, which denies them teleportation, and forces them to manifest as bluish luminous smoke.Similar to demons, Angels possessing a vessel can change the eye color of their vessel; in the case of Angels, they can cause the vessel's eyes to turn bright blue. Unlike demons however, Angels rarely do this so as not to draw attention to themselves and only do so in stressful or combat situations. Among Angels, the Archangel Lucifer is unique as his vessel's eyes glow red instead of blue.Most angels, when possessing vessels, often dress in suits or formal wear. There are a few exceptions. Sometimes, if the vessel they possess did not originally wear something formal, the angel would change. An example of this being Raphael and Alternate Michael.Many angels have names of Hebrew origin. Many angels also have names ending in "el". Examples include: Castiel, Michael, Raphael, Gabriel, Hael, Gadreel, Uriel, Rachel, Nithael, Jophiel, Ambriel, Nathaniel, Azrael, Mirabel, Asariel, Muriel, and Samandriel.Angels have also been shown to not be distressed from witnessing violence and gore. While humans can get frightened and traumatized by witnessing violence, angels appear to be typically unphased when seeing bloodshed and gore.Angels are capable of sharing control with their vessels, though they typically don't do so. Solomon and Azrael do have an agreement, however. Azrael is able to manifest to Solomon as an exact duplicate of his vessel to communicate with him even while Solomon is in control and Solomon in turn appeared to be aware of the world around him even when Azrael was in charge, resulting in a seamless transition between angel and vessel when they traded places.
SERAPHIM
Seraphim are a whole other type of angelic being, who are stronger and more powerful than regular angels and Cupids. Like the archangels and the Grigori, Seraphs powers are imbued within them, and if they fall from or become cut off from Heaven, they don't lose any of their powers. Their current role on Heaven is unknown but one was sent over to watch, observe and learn about humanity.
ABILITIES
โฃ Angelic Possession - A seraph requires a vessel to manifest physically on Earth. Like all angels, they must bear their consent.โฃ Immortality - A seraph, like all angels, by nature, can't die by any natural means of death. They are impervious to bullets, knives, bombs, and any other conventional human ways of killing.โฃ Super Stamina - A seraph never tires or gets fatigued. A seraph does not require food, sleep, or oxygen.โฃ Super Strength - As a higher class of angel endowed with greater strength, seraphs are extremely strong. They can lift at least 1 ton and they can easily overpower and destroy most beings. However, their strength is completely no match for an archangel or a Prince of Hell.โฃBiokinesis - A seraph is able to cure a human turning into a monster.โฃ Telepathy - A seraph can easily read the minds of humans.โฃ Dream Walking - Azrael is capable of dream walking and even taking another person with him.โฃ Pyrokinesis - A seraph can generate and manipulate fire.โฃ Healing - A seraph can heal others from severe wounds.โฃ Localization - A seraph is able to track and locate beings, although not if they are warded by Enochian sigils.โฃ Resurrection - A seraph can bring back the dead.โฃ Invisibility - A seraph can become invisible to humans.โฃ Smiting - As all angels, a seraph is able to burn out the eyes of humans, monsters, and demons, killing them.โฃ Regeneration - Like all angels, Seraphs can heal from injuries inflicted upon them. However, wounds caused by angelic weapons take longer to heal. They can't heal the damage inflicted by Lance of Michael.โฃ Reality Warping - A seraph possesses reality warping abilities.โฃ Mental Manipulation - A seraph can manipulate, erase or restore a person's perceptions and memories of events.โฃ Soul Reading/Channeling - Azrael has the ability to read a person's soul to check the marker of another angel had left there, see if there is a soul there and check the state of the soul. He has also displayed the ability to channel power from a human soul, though this had to be done very gingerly and could result in the death of the human if done wrong.โฃ Power Negation - A seraph is capable of removing powers from empowered humans, however, it can leave them mentally damaged to do so and is very painful to the individual losing the power.โฃ Photokinesis - As a seraph, Azrael is able to emit white light fatal to other beings, particularly demons and monsters.โฃ Vessel Locking - A seraph can hold a demon in smoke form as if it was tangible and force the demon to return to its vessel.โฃ Animal Communication - Castiel was able to speak to and understand a cat.โฃ Astral Projection - Like other angels, Seraphim can display their wings in a show of intimidation.โฃ Mental Projection - Azrael is capable of projecting mental images of himself from various locations.โฃ Lie Detection - Azrael is capable of sensing if someone is lying to him, but only in the moment.โฃ Mind Control - By touching his hand to a someone's forehead, Azrael is able to project commands into the minds of people, though it only lasts for a few minutes.โฃ Telekinesis - Like all Angels, Azrael is capable of moving things without touching them.โฃ Apporting - A seraph could teleport a human or monster.โฃ Chronokinesis - A seraph can travel through time, with greater ease than lower angels, and they are also able to send others either forward or backwards through time, with the same ease. They can send others through time without having to travel with them as well. They can also bend (freezing and speeding up) the time.โฃ Teleportation - A seraph can teleport from one place to another instantly.

That he wasnโt the only one at his end of the table.A hand came into his vision and picked at the plate in front of him. It belonged to himself. Or rather, something that looked just like him. Something that only he could see.โ ๐ ๐ก๐๐ฏ๐ ๐ญ๐ผ ๐ฌ๐๐ฒ. . .๐ฒ๐ผ๐ฎ๐ซ ๐ญ๐ก๐ผ๐ฎ๐ ๐ก๐ญ๐ฌ ๐๐ซ๐ ๐ซ๐๐๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฒ ๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐ฅ๐ผ๐ฎ๐ ๐ซ๐ข๐ ๐ก๐ญ ๐๐๐ผ๐ฎ๐ญ ๐ง๐ผ๐ฐ. ๐๐ผ๐ฎ ๐ง๐๐๐๐ญ๐ผ ๐๐๐ฅ๐บ ๐๐ผ๐ฐ๐ง ๐๐๐๐ผ๐ซ๐ ๐ฒ๐ผ๐ฎ ๐ฌ๐ญ๐๐ซ๐ญ ๐ฌ๐ผ๐บ๐๐ญ๐ก๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ฒ๐ผ๐ฎ ๐๐๐งโ๐ญ ๐๐ข๐ง๐ข๐ฌ๐ก. โThe wizard said nothing in his own defense. In front of him, leaning all over the Slytherin table was something he didnโt even believe was possible at first. He was awizard. Beings like his ๐๐ค๐ข๐ฅ๐๐ฃ๐๐ค๐ฃ didnโt fall into his category, his world. He knew nothing about ๐ผ๐ฃ๐๐๐ก๐จ. He didnโt even know they were supposed to exist.โ ๐๐ก๐ผ๐ฌ๐ ๐ฉ๐๐ ๐๐ง ๐๐ซ๐๐๐ค๐ฌ ๐๐ฑ๐ข๐ฌ๐ญ, ๐ฌ๐ผ ๐ฐ๐ก๐ฒ ๐ฐ๐ผ๐ฎ๐ฅ๐๐งโ๐ญ ๐ฐ๐? ๐๐ง๐ ๐ฐ๐ ๐ฐ๐๐ซ๐ ๐ก๐๐ซ๐ ๐๐ข๐ซ๐ฌ๐ญ. ๐๐ก๐ ๐ซ๐๐ฌ๐ญ ๐ผ๐ ๐ญ๐ก๐ผ๐ฌ๐ ๐ฅ๐ผ๐ฌ๐๐ซ๐ฌ ๐๐๐ง ๐๐ข๐ ๐ก๐ญ ๐๐ผ๐ซ ๐ฌ๐๐๐ผ๐ง๐ ๐ฉ๐ฅ๐๐๐, โ the Seraph had told him when they first met.Solomon had no reason to believe they existed. That was, until he had almost died on Hogwarts ground and the Angel came to him as a blessing in disguise. All he needed to do was give consent, say ๐ฎ๐๐จ in all the ways that mattered to him. If he said ๐ฎ๐๐จ, then Azrael would save his life.So, he did, and then he got a permanent roommate that never shut up and even complained about Solomon being human. He sighed and picked at his food. The Seraph had made it pretty clear that if he was to speak to the Angel, it would look at if he was picking at his food to everyone else. Something about warped reality and fields.He didnโt reallyunderstand it, anyways.โ. . .Iโm not ๐ฉ๐ง๐ฎ๐๐ฃ๐ to act weird. Besides, it shouldnโt even matter. To them Iโm no more fidgety than before the accident. If anything, this lot is probably expecting me to jump at every little thing that crosses my path,โ the wizardsaid, pushing his plate away. He wasnโt hungry. He didnโt even need to eat with Azrael residing in him.The Seraph raised an identical eyebrow and Solomon sighed. There was no fooling him.โ ๐๐๐๐ผ๐ซ๐ ๐ ๐ฌ๐ง๐๐ ๐ ๐๐ ๐ฒ๐ผ๐ฎ, ๐ ๐ฌ๐ฉ๐๐ง๐ญ ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐บ๐๐ฃ๐ผ๐ซ๐ข๐ญ๐ฒ ๐ผ๐ ๐บ๐ฒ ๐ญ๐ข๐บ๐ ๐๐ฌ ๐ ๐บ๐ฎ๐ฅ๐ญ๐ข๐๐ข๐บ๐๐ง๐ฌ๐ข๐ผ๐ง๐๐ฅ ๐ฐ๐๐ฏ๐๐ฅ๐๐ง๐ ๐ญ๐ก ๐ผ๐ ๐๐๐ฅ๐๐ฌ๐ญ๐ข๐๐ฅ ๐ข๐ง๐ญ๐๐ง๐ญ. ๐๐ผ, ๐๐ฑ๐๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ ๐ข๐ ๐โ๐บ ๐ง๐ผ๐ญ ๐ฐ๐๐ฅ๐ฅ-๐ฏ๐๐ซ๐ฌ๐๐ ๐ข๐ง ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐ญ๐ก๐ผ๐ฎ๐ ๐ก๐ญ ๐ฉ๐ซ๐ผ๐๐๐ฌ๐ฌ ๐ผ๐ ๐ญ๐๐ฅ๐ค๐ข๐ง๐ ๐บ๐ผ๐ง๐ค๐๐ฒ๐ฌ.๐ ๐๐ผ ๐ค๐ง๐ผ๐ฐ ๐ญ๐ก๐ข๐ฌ, ๐๐ง๐ ๐ข๐ญโ๐ฌ ๐ญ๐ก๐๐ญ ๐ฒ๐ผ๐ฎโ๐ซ๐ ๐๐๐๐๐. โAnd Solomon probably couldnโt get away with lying to someone who was older than the universe. Azrael liked to say that they were the ๐จ๐๐ข๐ now. Same face, same thoughts. They shared everything, and probably would for a very long time. At least until Azrael returned to his own time in 2020.That year was hard for Solomon to imagine.โWell, I wouldnโt be acting weird if you would just ๐๐ ๐ฆ๐ช๐๐๐ฉ. Youโre so ๐ก๐ค๐ช๐,โ he said, baring his teeth and hitting the table with his fists. That definitely got him a few looks from his fellow Slytherins, most of which turned their attention from him after a few seconds and a sneer. Great.The fifth year buried his hand in his hair, keeping his head low except for the occasional glance down the table. And thatโs when he saw him.๐๐ค๐ข ๐๐๐๐๐ก๐.The person of his affections. His brother was lucky to be part of Riddleโs group. His brother was smart, cunning, sly, handsome. Perfect, even. He fit in just right.And Riddle was, . . .nothing short of perfection. It was the hair, the ๐๐ฎ๐๐จ, the delicious politeness whenever they were within a few feet of each other. It was almost like Riddle was wearing a mask.Solomon desperately wanted to be the one to take the mask off and tell him that he could be the ๐ค๐ฃ๐ for him. He had told the older boy that he was in love with him months before. There was so silent rejection. No pat on his shoulder. There was a laugh, though. From ๐๐ค๐ข and Solomon felt as if his heart was being torn in two.In the end, he wasnโt the one to take off Riddleโs mask, but he had been the reason it had slipped off when he was told that he could never love, much less ๐จ๐ค๐ข๐๐ค๐ฃ๐ ๐ก๐๐ ๐ ๐๐๐ข.And yet, he still couldnโt keep his eyes from the older boy. He really was pathetic.โ ๐๐ก๐ผ ๐๐ซ๐ ๐ฒ๐ผ๐ฎ ๐ฅ๐ผ๐ผ๐ค๐ข๐ง๐ ๐๐ญ? โ the Angel asked, suddenly appearing on the left side of Solomon. This way he wasnโt obstructing his view. โ ๐๐ซ๐ ๐ฒ๐ผ๐ฎ ๐ฅ๐ผ๐ผ๐ค๐ข๐ง๐ ๐๐ญ ๐ ๐๐๐? ๐๐ผ๐ฎ ๐๐๐ง ๐ญ๐๐ฅ๐ค ๐๐ผ๐ฒ๐ฌ ๐ญ๐ผ ๐บ๐. ๐๐ฏ๐๐ง ๐ญ๐ก๐ผ๐ฎ๐ ๐ก ๐ ๐ก๐๐ญ๐ ๐ญ๐ผ ๐ญ๐ก๐ข๐ง๐ค ๐๐๐ผ๐ฎ๐ญ ๐บ๐ฒ ๐ฏ๐๐ฌ๐ฌ๐๐ฅ ๐ฌ๐ก๐๐๐ค๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ฎ๐ฉ ๐ฐ๐ข๐ญ๐ก ๐ฌ๐ผ๐บ๐ ๐ฅ๐ผ๐ฐ๐๐ซ ๐ฅ๐ข๐๐๐๐ผ๐ซ๐บ, ๐ฐ๐ผ๐ซ๐บ๐ฌ ๐๐ฅ๐ผ๐๐ค ๐ญ๐ผ๐ ๐๐ญ๐ก๐๐ซ. ๐๐ซ ๐ฌ๐ผ๐บ๐๐ญ๐ก๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ฅ๐ข๐ค๐ ๐ญ๐ก๐๐ญ. โSolomon flushed, dropping his eyes back to his hands and fiddling with them. He knew that if he didnโt say something, Azrael would just go cartwheeling through his mind looking for answers.โ. . .ddle,โ he said quietly.The Angel huffed and Solomon took that as a sign to speak louder. He really, ๐ง๐๐๐ก๐ก๐ฎ didnโt want to but he didnโt have very manyoptions in this case.โ๐๐ค๐ข ๐๐๐๐๐ก๐. Thatโs who I was. . .looking at. Heโs. . .heโs very good looking. Does your religion say anything about liking men? Am I going to your ๐๐๐ก๐ก?"Hold the phone, stop the CLOCK. There was a hell of a lot to unpack there, starting with his sexuality. โ ๐

๐๐๐?! โSolomon hissed, catching the back of his hand and turning to glare at Azrael. His emotions were running too high for him to stay in the Great Hall. Eyes were on him again, which meant he needed to leave. The Slytherin quickly gathered his belongings, ignoring the staring as he pushed the doors open and headed for the bathroom. โWhat did you do ๐ฉ๐๐๐ฉ for?! Hitting me? Are you serious, Azrael?โ He said loudly, throwing his bag to the ground and standing in front of the mirror.Instead of being right beside him, Azrael was in the mirror, crossing his arms with a look of disapproval. โ ๐๐บ ๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐?! ๐๐ผ๐ฅ๐ผ๐บ๐ผ๐ง, ๐ฒ๐ผ๐ฎ ๐ก๐๐ฏ๐ ๐ ๐๐ซ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ก ๐ผ๐ง ๐๐๐๐ฒ ๐ฐ๐ข๐ณ๐๐ซ๐ ๐๐ข๐ญ๐ฅ๐๐ซ! ๐๐ ๐ข๐ฌ ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐ผ๐ง๐ฅ๐ฒ ๐ผ๐ง๐ ๐ข๐ง ๐ญ๐ก๐ข๐ฌ ๐๐๐ฌ๐ญ๐ฅ๐ ๐ฐ๐ก๐ผ ๐๐ผ๐ฎ๐ฅ๐ ๐ญ๐ซ๐ฒ ๐๐ง๐ ๐ค๐ข๐ฅ๐ฅ ๐ฎ๐ฌ, ๐ ๐๐ญ ๐๐๐๐๐๐, ๐๐ง๐ ๐ฌ๐ญ๐ข๐ฅ๐ฅ ๐ญ๐๐ฅ๐ค ๐ก๐ข๐ฌ ๐ฐ๐๐ฒ ๐ผ๐ฎ๐ญ ๐ผ๐ ๐ ๐ฉ๐ซ๐ข๐ฌ๐ผ๐ง ๐ฌ๐๐ง๐ญ๐๐ง๐๐. โHe was at a lost for words, his mouth gaping open like a fish. โI-I. . .I donโt. . .๐ฌ๐๐๐ฉ?โThe Angel rolled his eyes before throwing his hands up in exasperation. Did humans just neglect to look under the surface or what that just a Solomon thing.โ ๐๐ผ๐ผ๐ค, ๐ค๐ข๐. ๐๐๐๐ซ๐ฌ ๐๐ซ๐ผ๐บ ๐ง๐ผ๐ฐ, ๐๐ข๐๐๐ฅ๐ ๐ข๐ฌ ๐ ๐ผ๐ง๐ง๐ ๐๐ ๐๐ซ๐๐ณ๐ข๐๐ซ ๐ญ๐ก๐๐ง ๐ ๐๐๐ ๐ผ๐ ๐๐๐ญ๐ฌ. ๐ ๐ค๐ง๐ผ๐ฐ ๐ก๐ ๐ฅ๐ผ๐ผ๐ค๐ฌ ๐ฅ๐ข๐ค๐ ๐๐ง ๐ผ๐ฏ๐๐ซ๐ฅ๐ฒ ๐ฉ๐ผ๐ฅ๐ข๐ญ๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ซ๐ผ๐ง, ๐๐ฎ๐ญ ๐โ๐บ ๐ญ๐๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ฒ๐ผ๐ฎ. ๐๐ก๐๐ญ ๐๐๐๐ ๐ข๐ฌ ๐ฃ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ญ ๐ญ๐ผ ๐๐ข๐ฌ๐ญ๐ซ๐๐๐ญ ๐ฉ๐๐ผ๐ฉ๐ฅ๐ ๐๐ซ๐ผ๐บ ๐ก๐ข๐ฌ ๐ฉ๐ฅ๐๐ง๐ฌ ๐ผ๐ ๐๐๐ฅ๐ฌ๐ ๐ ๐ซ๐๐ง๐๐๐๐ฎ๐ซ. ๐๐. ๐๐ฌ. ๐๐ผ๐ญ. ๐ฎ๐๐๐

You said that I was supposed to ๐๐๐, right? And I didnโt, which proves that the atom that you know is just a version of him. We can. . .we can save him, canโt we?โAzrael groaned, grabbing at his hair dropping his back against the wall. His vessel was an idiot. He just has to get stuck with a dad-damned bleeding heart, and one who was in love with someone as hopeless as Tom fucking Riddle. He didnโt save Solomon because he felt bad for him. Azrael saved him because him, nor his brother and parents were a significant part of history. When his brother died, Tom hadnโt even remembered his name.Tom Riddle becoming Voldemort was a fixed point in history.Maybe he would let his vessel try and do this. It wasnโt like the future Dark Lord could hurt him. Not with Azrael backing him a hundred fold.โ . . .๐ ๐๐ผ๐งโ๐ญ ๐ฐ๐๐ง๐ญ ๐๐ง๐ฒ ๐ฉ๐๐ซ๐ญ ๐ผ๐ ๐ญ๐ก๐ข๐ฌ. ๐๐ง๐ ๐ข๐ ๐ ๐๐ฏ๐๐ง ๐ญ๐ก๐ข๐ง๐ค ๐ก๐โ๐ฌ ๐๐๐ผ๐ฎ๐ญ ๐ญ๐ผ ๐ฌ๐ญ๐ข๐๐ค ๐ฒ๐ผ๐ฎ๐ซ ๐ฌ๐๐ซ๐๐ฐ๐ง๐ฒ ๐๐ฌ๐ฌ ๐ผ๐ง ๐ก๐ข๐ฌ ๐๐ก๐ผ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ข๐ง๐ ๐๐ฅ๐ผ๐๐ค, ๐ก๐โ๐ฌ ๐๐๐๐, ๐ ๐ผ๐ญ ๐ข๐ญ? ๐โ๐ฅ๐ฅ ๐ฌ๐ก๐ผ๐ฏ๐ ๐บ๐ฒ ๐๐ฅ๐๐๐ ๐ฌ๐ผ ๐๐๐ซ ๐ฎ๐ฉ ๐ก๐ข๐ฌ ๐๐ฌ๐ฌ, ๐ข๐ญโ๐ฅ๐ฅ ๐๐ผ๐บ๐ ๐ผ๐ฎ๐ญ ๐ญ๐ก๐ซ๐ผ๐ฎ๐ ๐ก ๐ก๐ข๐ฌ ๐ญ๐ก๐ซ๐ผ๐๐ญ. โAnd dear Father, do not tell him that he carried an Angel. Contrary to popular belief, he isnโt fond of smiting an entire school of kids because ๐จ๐ค๐ข๐๐ค๐ฃ๐ couldnโt shut the hell up. Azrael sighed as Solomon was looking a lot happier than he was beforehand.He didnโt know how to take no for an answer and he wasnโt looking forward to dealing with that when Riddle told him to shove it yet again.Fucking ๐๐๐ก๐ก.

๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐ด๐ฆ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐ด๐ง๐๐๐๐.โ โ โ๐๐ should be used to this. To Azrael. Truth is, he wasnโt. It was too odd to know the he was currently brewing a potion, but then he would look up and see the Seraph leaning back in his chair, his feet propped up on the table.It was too strange.Solomonโs eyes kept going back and forth between his potion and the Angel, โ. . .I have Defense next. You should probably stay quiet. Iโll need to focus if I want to earn House points.โThe Seraph clicked his tongue, โ ๐๐จ๐ง๐๐ฌ๐ญ๐ฅ๐ฒ, ๐ ๐ญ๐ก๐ข๐ง๐ค ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ'๐ซ๐ ๐ฐ๐จ๐ซ๐ซ๐ข๐๐ ๐๐๐จ๐ฎ๐ญ ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐ฐ๐ซ๐จ๐ง๐ ๐ญ๐ก๐ข๐ง๐ . โSolomon sighed heavily, carefully moving to place the ingredients inside of the cauldron.โAzrael, this may come as a surprise to you, but I do intend to have an education because I donโt intend to have you stick with me for the rest of my life. Iโll need at least decent grades to get a job.โItโs been hard to focus with the Angel near him. Itโs been hard to get used to talking to himself because Solomon realizes that most of his conversations at in his head.He didnโt have many friends, and he wasnโt popular among his own House, of course. His views were different than theirs, and he has no magical prowess to back it up.โYou may as well be a squib. The House of Ayers should be ashamed of you,โ Avery had told them.And they were. He was a pure blooded Slytherin who had ideals on the opposite side of the spectrum. He didnโt hate Muggleborns or Halfbloods.

Azrael was right, as usual. He didnโt like admitting that. He has strength, he didnโt need to eat, he didnโt need to sleep.Merlin, he didnโt even need to breathe. The Seraph took care of all of that. He still got hungry, and he would still feel tired, but then he just. . .didnโt.๐ผ๐ฃ๐๐๐ก ๐ข๐ค๐๐ค, as he called it. Far more effect than any Pepper-Up potions he had ever taken.It was his first session back, and it was also the first time Solomon had managed to finish his potion in a timely manner. As in, he didnโt have to worry about someone sabotaging it.If there was anything Azrael was good for, it was making sure nothing happened to him. He definitely could have used him in the earlier years of his school life. He placed his potion on Slughornโs desk before the other could get a word in. He isnโt in the mood for small talk, but he did leave.โ ๐๐จ๐ก, ๐ฐ๐ก๐๐ซ๐ ๐๐ซ๐ ๐ฐ๐ ๐ ๐จ๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ง๐จ๐ฐ? โHe sighed for what seemed like the fiftieth time that day. โThe library. I want. . .I want to see if they have anything there about Angels.โAzrael paused in his tracks.โIโm not planning on getting rid of you, if thatโs what you think. I figured I could ask a muggleborn, but I donโt necessarily feel like bothering anyone. Plus, the less people know about you, the better. Right?โThe trip is the library was short. Solomon had quickly found that Azrael didnโt enjoy walking that much and would constantly teleport them places.According to him, as long as it wasnโt through time and space, theyโd be golden.โExcuse me? Iโm looking for books on Muggle religion. More specifically, Christianity and, um. . .Angels,โ he asked, shifting on his heels. He was aware of how strange his request was and, off to the side, Azrael was laughing.The librarian gave him a strange look before he quickly said it was for a project in Muggle Studies. He didnโt even have the subject until later in the week, though.โ ๐๐ก๐๐ญ'๐ฌ ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐ฆ๐๐ญ๐ญ๐๐ซ? ๐๐จ๐ง'๐ญ ๐ญ๐ซ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ญ ๐ฆ๐ ๐ญ๐จ ๐ค๐๐๐ฉ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ ๐ฌ๐๐๐? โ the Seraph teased, sitting himself on the table rather than the chair Solomon had pulled out for him.โI trust that youโll hide whatever it is you need to hide from me, so Iโll do my own research. I donโt know that much about Muggle religion, anyways, and thereโs bound to be a section on that in the Muggle Studies book,โ he grunted, tearing a few books from the shelf and carrying them to the table.He sat himself down and separated the books by category. Oldest to newest, then historical texts to informational to reported eye witness accounts. There was plenty, and Solomon didnโt even know what he was looking for. Weaknesses? Strengths? Backstories? He must have read for a good two hours before looking up and catching Azraelโs eyes. โ ๐

๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐, โ he said. The Angel didnโt look too happy about the situation, but whatever he wanted to say, he kept to himself. He snapped his fingers and a white board appeared and Azrael stoos before him with a marker. Solomon had to remind himself that it was all in his head. โ ๐๐ข๐ฌ๐ญ๐๐ง ๐ฎ๐ฉ, ๐๐ฅ๐ซ๐ข๐ ๐ก๐ญ? ๐๐ญ ๐ ๐๐ญ๐ฌ ๐ฉ๐ซ๐๐ญ๐ญ๐ฒ ๐๐ผ๐ง๐๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ข๐ง๐ . ๐๐ก๐๐ซ๐ ๐๐ซ๐ ๐๐ก๐ซ๐๐ ๐๐ฉ๐ก๐๐ซ๐๐ฌ ๐ข๐ง ๐๐๐๐ฏ๐๐ง. ๐๐ก๐ ๐๐ข๐ซ๐ฌ๐ญ ๐ผ๐ง๐ ๐ข๐ฌ ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐๐๐ซ๐๐ฉ๐ก๐ข๐บ, ๐๐ก๐๐ซ๐ฎ๐๐ข๐บ, ๐๐ง๐ ๐๐ฉ๐ก๐๐ง๐ข๐บ. ๐๐ก๐ ๐ฌ๐๐๐ผ๐ง๐ ๐ข๐ฌ ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐๐ผ๐บ๐ข๐ง๐ข๐ผ๐ง๐ฌ, ๐๐ข๐ซ๐ญ๐ฎ๐๐ฌ, ๐๐ง๐ ๐๐ผ๐ฐ๐๐ซ๐ฌ. ๐๐ก๐ ๐ฅ๐๐ฌ๐ญ ๐ข๐ฌ ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐๐ง๐ ๐๐ฅ๐ฌ. ๐๐ก๐ ๐๐ข๐ซ๐ฌ๐ญ ๐๐ฉ๐ก๐๐ซ๐ ๐ฌ๐๐ซ๐ฏ๐๐ฌ ๐๐ฌ, ๐ฒ๐ผ๐ฎ ๐ค๐ง๐ผ๐ฐ, ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐๐ผ๐ฎ๐ง๐ฌ๐๐ฅ๐ผ๐ซ๐ฌ ๐๐ง๐ ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐ ๐ฎ๐ข๐๐๐ฌ. ๐๐ฌ ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐๐ง๐ ๐๐ฅ ๐ผ๐ ๐๐๐๐ญ๐ก, ๐ ๐ ๐ฎ๐ข๐๐ ๐ฌ๐ผ๐ฎ๐ฅ๐ฌ ๐ข๐ง๐ญ๐ผ ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐๐๐ญ๐๐ซ๐ฅ๐ข๐๐ ๐๐ง๐, ๐ผ๐๐๐๐ฌ๐ข๐ผ๐ง๐๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฒ, ๐ค๐ข๐ฅ๐ฅ ๐ฉ๐๐ผ๐ฉ๐ฅ๐. ๐๐ซ๐๐ก๐๐ง๐ ๐๐ฅ๐ฌ ๐ค๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ผ๐ ๐๐๐ฅ๐ฅ ๐ข๐ง๐ญ๐ผ ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐๐ข๐ซ๐ฌ๐ญ ๐ฌ๐ฉ๐ก๐๐ซ๐, ๐๐ฎ๐ญ ๐ญ๐ก๐๐ฒโ๐ซ๐ ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐ก๐๐๐ ๐๐ข๐ญ๐๐ก๐๐ฌ ๐ผ๐ ๐๐๐๐ฏ๐๐ง. ๐๐ฏ๐๐ซ๐ฒ๐ญ๐ก๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ ๐ผ๐๐ฌ ๐ญ๐ก๐ซ๐ผ๐ฎ๐ ๐ก ๐ญ๐ก๐๐บ. โSolomon blanked at that.

It was hard to think of Heaven, a place where people where supposed to go after they died, was run so. . .strict.Azrael shrugged. It was the way it was because it worked for a long time.

He had Defense in about ten minutes, but he was sure that that conversation wasnโt over.
