R ends up having a breakdown not only having to relive the trauma they went through in the past but also the new fear that they will be expelled or worse.

Really what is gender despite a social construct. Who says that females can't do something that a man would or vice versa? And why do you have to confirm to one box. There is not a single thing in the world that doesn't have a middle ground or shade of grey so why should gender be any different just because someone says so. Why can't you just be yourself? Truly it made no sense to you but you were all too aware that not everyone saw the world the same way you do.

Magic. Another controversial topic you hated, you were constantly teased on the fact you have the ability to be powerful if only you'd use and own your talents. But you refused. It's not like you asked for the powers, and why would you want them if you'd end up like your mother? That wasn't the life you wanted and you'd do anything to avoid getting it. Even if that meant ignoring the buzzing of your magic every day. Magic was tied to emotion and it was one of the things you prided yourself on, you're emotional control was second to none.

You'd been being teased for months now, at first it was just words, then it stumbled into physical violence. Could of bruises here and maybe a punch or two to your gut. Nothing you couldn't handle, your magic helped you heal quicker than most, so the pain never lasted more than a few days. Although, you never willing used your magic healing came within. You knew kids were cruel, after all you'd been on the other hand of their words and actions most of your life but this time the group of boys had taken it way too far. Threats to expose what lay beneath the clothing, to define you as a man or a women. That's all you thought they were though. Threats and nothing more than that, until it wasn't.

Classes were done for the day and you were particularly keen to get back to your dorm to give yourself a break from binding. You knew how important it was to give yourself breaks. On your way back you got intercepted by the group of boys that had been bothering you, they cornered you and made sure you were full surrounded. The ring leader of the group stood pinning you to the wall as he spewed hurtful words and his mate cheered. Only then you felt it, his hands running over your clothed body coming up to grope your chest. You sobbed and unintentionally tapped into your magic that reacted by throwing his body against the opposite wall. His body hit the wall with a sickening crunch.

It all happened so quickly, the group ran off and all you could do is curl up and sob, his passed out body in direct view of you. A million thoughts ran rampant round your mind. Memories of the past, how it felt what they did and then present worries. What if you were expelled? Forced to go back there. To her. Your mother would be furious with you. The sound of heels and a cane echoed through the halls causing you to flee, you didn't know where you were running but you had to hide, if they didn't find you then there was no evidence you were there right?

Leonora left Dovey to deal with the boys, no patience for all that kind lovely thing, she set off in search of you. When she found you it was truly heart wrenching, you had curled yourself up into a small ball rocking backwards and forwards like a scared child. "Love?" She murmured and crouched in front of you trying to aid you in calming down. You instantly started to ramble a mix of past and present, blaming yourself for the magical outburst. Leonora listened and her heart broke, she was in two minds, to hold you or to go back and torture the boys for hurting you in such a manner.

She did the first option, scooping you into her arms and carrying you to her room, gently you were placed onto her bed as she curled up with you her hands in your hair. Kisses being placed on into your hair in a soothing manner as she reminded you how beautiful you were, inside and out. She'd make them suffer later, right now she had to care for you, her dove with clipped wings
