"What do you mean not as confident as I can appear?" I ask confused.

"Well, you give off this facade, that everything's okay, but it's not. Not all the time."

I sigh. "I don't like when people feel bad for me, or know my entire story. The only people that do are you, Briar, Angel, and Nick..." I say to him.

"And that's completely fine. To be like that. As long as you ask for help when you need it." I shrug, knowing I wasn't one to talk about that.

"What's wrong?" I ask him. "Are you surprised that I trust you that much?" I say looking down at my hands.

"To be honest, a little bit yeah. Not many people would trust me."

"Ian, I don't judge people by their past. I'm not happy with what I've done and hate when people look in the past and say, oh look she has a dark mark she must be evil." I say softly, never telling anyone I had a dark mark but Nick.

"The people who condemn you have never walked in your shoes," I say quietly, trying very hard not to be surprised by the unpleasant piece of information.

I sigh. "Figures. Most people are surprised I have one. I was forced to get one, a long time ago by my father. I was pregnant, threatened to kill the baby so I joined. The bastard still killed my son, I was four months pregnant..." I say now crying.

"Come on Shell," I mutter, moving round to sit next to her and putting a hesitant hand on her shoulder, "Don't cry..."
When put how she did, my reason for joining seemed absolutely pathetic.

"Ian it was my first child...that's not the first time he's done it either." I say now leaning into him, still crying.

And now you're in over your head...
Shut up.
I put an arm round her shoulders, "Come on, don't-...don't cry Shell," I say, at loss for anything else to say.

I look up at him still leaning against his chest. "You're not good at these kind of things...are you?" I say softly.

"No, not really, sorry..." I half-grimace.

"No, I'm sorry..." I say now leaning on the table instead.

"You got nothing to be sorry for, Shell."

"I shouldn't have leaned on you...that's why I said sorry. You just remind me of someone that's all." I say looking at him slightly.

"It's okay...I don't mind being leant on," I smile slightly, "Remind you of someone? Who?"

"Forget it..." I say slightly smiling at him. "Your only clue is he's in ravenclaw. If you can't get it, just forget it..." I say.

"I don't know Ravenclaws, sorry. Come on, tell me?" I smile slightly.

I sigh deeply. "You remind me of Nick in a few ways...okay?" I say looking away for a few minutes, concentrating on the bar.

"To a point of course..." I say with a slight laugh.

I laugh slightly, "Yeah...never thought I'd share any traits with a Ravenclaw to be honest."

Post by Shelby Chou on Oct 18, 2007 21:39:06 GMT
I smile slightly. "Honestly I believe everyone has all the traits of all four houses. Some of those traits just appear more obvious than others." I say.

"Interesting way of looking at it..." I say, then tilt my head to the side slightly, "Although I seriously doubt there is anything that resembles any Hufflepuff quality in me."

"Well everyone has a weak side..." I say. "Hufflepuffs are supposedly humble no?"

I just smile. "So, you don't believe my theory?" I ask him.

"I think...it works for some people, but others are just plain black and white. Life isn't all shades of grey and all."
