I can't believe it's already almost time to go home for the summer. It will be nice to see Mother, of course, and to have more time to work on art and sewing and candle-making and everything!

But I'll miss you all very much. Of course, you should all spend your time having fun, but it would be nice if people wrote in their journals! Just so we can

That's amazing Rapunzel! It's so beautifully detailed, you really are talented.

[magichairbrush]

Oh, thank you so much, Tsubaki! That really means a lot to me.

[camelliamagic]

You're welcome, you certainly have enough promise to become a professional.

[magichairbrush]

I really would love to!

What about you, Tsubaki? What would you like to do after you finish school?

[camelliamagic]

I'm sure you could succeed.

Me? Well, to be honest there are a few things I've thought about. Ideas I've had for a while, as well as some that have been more recent, due to circumstances.

[magichairbrush]

Having a lot of options is probably best. I'd love to hear what you've been thinking about, if you'd like to share.

[camelliamagic]

I don't mind, it's just that some of them depend mostly on if I can convince my parents I don't feel right about being in charge of our family when I get older.

[magichairbrush]

Oh. I understand. I really hope it works, Tsubaki, because I'm sure you'd be wonderful at whatever you tried -- You are one of the nicest people I know, after all.

[camelliamagic]

I hope so too. It's not going to be simple breaking pureblood tradition, but I'm hopeful they'll understand.

[Traditions which caused really bad things to happen, but of course she's not going to get into that mess right now.]

I appreciate that Rapunzel, that's a kind thing to say, even if I think you're flattering me.

[magichairbrush]

I wish you luck. I really do.

Oh, no, Tsubaki. I wouldn't say it unless I really meant it.

[camelliamagic]

That means a lot, thank you. Even so, I haven't ruled out certain expectations entirely. I am still considering Ministry work.

Then I should just be very grateful for the compliment then hmm?

[magichairbrush]

Oh, really? I'm sure that'd be very interesting... I imagine it'd be stressful, too, though...

I guess? You deserve it.

[camelliamagic]

Probably, but it would be worthwhile if I could help to make a difference in the system.

I'll take you word for it then.

[magichairbrush]

That's true!

Oh, good. Thank you.

[camelliamagic]

Especially with this war, things need to be improved so this sort of thing doesn't happen again.

It's nothing, I really appreciate the compliment.

[magichairbrush]

That's true. I don't want anything at all like this to happen again...
