PATTERSON, evie aria

A sigh escaped her lips once more. This was just one of those days where she didn't want anyone to see her. All she wanted to do was curl up into a ball and ignore everyone else. Thankfully, Tohru was there. She always was. It had always been like that ever since they met each other. Honestly, she was flattered that Tohru looked up to her. She imagined that the Ravenclaw had a lot of people to look up to, considering the amount of older siblings she had. As for Kim, she never thought of who she looked up to. It wasn't as if she had any older siblings or anything to go to for help. No, she only had her cousins. She loved them and all but they weren't exactly role-model-worthy. Well, unless pranking role models counted. It didn't count in her book since she was a prefect and they only caused trouble for her.

She smiled a little when she listened to Tohru. "I don't mean to pressure you but fifth year is the best time to think of a career." Kim ruffled up Tohru's hair a bit. "I think your father will be fine with whichever path you choose." Biting her lip, she thought of what else to say. "Your mother will support you I'm sure. She is a Muggle," she said as an afterthought. Of course, she meant no offense by it. Her father was a Muggle as well. Surely, Tohru would remember that and wouldn't find any offense. Her eyes widened at the sight of Tohru's gift. "Oh my gosh! This is beautiful!" She wrapped the younger girl in a hug. "I love it." She really did. It was some beautiful work. The painting even looked like her. Of course, the hair color didn't quite match but she was a Metamorphmagus. No one could ever get it right with her. She could have black hair one day and pink the next. "You should really should pursue the career."

Being with Tohru was always great. It was unfortunate that they were in different houses. She could have shown her all the ropes of the Slytherin house. Well, not that she was well-versed in it. She wasn't exactly the poster child for Slytherin. Kim just had a certain quality that set her aside from the true-blooded one. It could be pleasantness but that was only with people she liked. Aside from that, she was as cool as a block of ice. She was the ideal person to go to in a crisis. She didn't freak out and run away. That was her best quality. Well, at least she thought so.

She accepted the hug that Tohru gave her. Honestly, how could anyone forget the little thing? They must be idiots to bully someone like her. Tohru was just so strong. She had her head held high. Kim couldn't sympathize with the feeling of getting bullied. Being a part of Slytherin got rid of that possibility. By far, it was the most intimidating house. Most automatically believed that if they were sorted into the house, it meant they were going to become a Dark Wizard. It was nothing but a bunch of nonsense. Merlin was a Slytherin and he wasn't evil or anything. "You know my mom. She's as stubborn as I am. She'll come around but that won't happen until I graduate." It was true. It was going to take the end of seventh year to make her stop. Her father was mainly staying out of it. Hell hath no fury as a woman scorned. He lived with two. Well, one and a soon-to-be woman. He'd rather not get in between two fighting girls. He was mainly keeping to his work until the whole ordeal blew over. That was definitely the best choice.
