Seventeenth ⚙ Misfortune [text+ accidental video]

[jinxcharm]

My parents have been trying to make me transfer to Beauxbatons with my brother since before the Holidays. I think I'm running out of logical reasons why I shouldn't.

I wonder if they'd listen if I told them that I'd like to stay here just because I want to.

As much as I do love my brother- I have friends here I would be loathe to leave. Friends who are like family in their own right.

It was his idea that we should go to separate schools to begin with- because the knowledge found here and the knowledge found at Beuxbatons- while similar fundamentally- come from people with very different sources of knowledge. It...

He did it to try and help me.

Yes- I'm fine Professor Yun.

[Except not really, :(]

I miss him, too...

[Louder, comfortingly;]

...Your parents want what's best for you, Bridget. Your happiness would definitely be important in that matter.

[He startles audibly, fumbling and then lets out a sigh.]

It's been so long...

[But he raises his voice a little and replies-]

I know it is- but sometimes my parents are a little stubborn when it comes to my education is all.

[Oh, she understands that.]

Have they attempted to get Bastian to transfer to Hogwarts?

[He laughs a little at that.]

As if they could get him to leave his fanclub, really.

... Have you told them that? In all seriousness? I know it sounds like a long shot, but I've always heard that parents only do things in the best interests of their kids.

[jinxcharm]

I haven't talked to them about it yet- they... they said I still had some time before they made a decision.

voice;

[overimpulsive]

They? It's your education. If you can, you should talk to them... because their decision just doesn't affect their social status or standing or whatever; it affects y'all too.

It's not like they're doing it to be cruel..! Or for any stupid reason- it's just... it's complicated.
