A witty women is a treasure; a witty beauty is power.

In a world where women must learn to play the game as good as men, Astoria prided herself in playing the game to the best of her ability. Life was a constant competition, one that Astoria Greengrass believed she was destined to loose, maliciously and depravedly. If she was enforced to a potential life of absolute affliction and dejection, she was going to sink with an emptied mind of vacant and idle memories.

"Penny for your thoughts, Tory honey?"

Eleanor Greengrass was the woman who had taught Astoria how to play and meddle with life, in the most satisfying and rewarding way as possible. She was the epitome of social reform and the idea that society although being the pressuring and dynamic organisation it is today, held no responsibility on depending what you should do with your life. She loathed categories and the idealistic stereotypes ridden on someone for something completely and utterly out of their own control, like that every witch and wizard of pure blood or slytherine heritage were destined to be evil.

To her it was absolute nonsense, Salazar Slytherine was born to rule, sure maybe his purpose strayed and hunger grew towards the end, but nonetheless Salazar was a born leader, corrupted and blinded to scale and slither himself to power.

"Do you ever get lonely?" Astoria pressed as she sat on her mother's bed "In this big house all alone, waiting for father to come home and be with you?"

"I've had almost 50 years to be surrounded everyday by the people I love, loneliness but rather rest was a long time coming, sweetheart." She smiled softly "Besides you girls are not my only friends you know, I consider myself quite popular, little frail and sick Eleanor Greengrass."

The two brunettes laughed as the younger of the two shoved her mother jokingly "Don't quote the daily prophet like that mum, dad will kill you."

"Not as much as he wants to kill the lovely gentleman responsible for printing that as last week's top headline."

Deceitful and stained spoiled hands loved to profit of private and personal matters which had no purpose outside the circle of family, friends and relations. The daily prophet had made it an ongoing pattern on selecting and separating a large section of the paper to pure blooded family's, the Greengrasses and Malfoy's noticeable being the most popular. Last week, the paper had centralised their lengthy patronising paragraphs on the Greengrass curse and how exactly they believed Eleanor Greengrass to be drowning in constant pain and misery from deaths clutches, how sensitive really.
