Divination has become.
Odder than usual this year.
I am beginning not to doubt Professor Trelawney's predictions. This year feels like madness turned thrice over beneath a baking temperature sun. Classes are easy, but I know that the hardships at home will become more than I can bear, and they are all of my own doing. If only I could accept the crimson vixen, but that would be like allowing a hungry fox into the henhouse. I refuse, no matter how complimentary the visage of Catherine is.
I am relieved to be tied to this fortress, with the excuses that I am incapable of leaving. There might be an emergency. I cannot. Cannot allow it. J plus J equal her responsibility at the moment, I am but a shadow laying behind a curtain that is constantly drawn shut, the way I like it. On the outside looking in, with a gaze so piercing that it cuts right through her bone and she's unaware the entire time. Thin hot needles.
Soft Skin, hard heart
