The charmed legacy

chapter two; genuine

"Well, that's just... stupid? I think." Aurora nodded in confusion as her close friend, Estella paced around the room quickly yet quietly.

She was going on and on about how she had gotten a detention and her grades were slowly dropping, she only placed the blame on others however, not like she was choosing to do all the stuff with them too.

Though while Estella continued rambling Aurora eventually just stopped listening all together, taking in her friends room, full of random trinkets and books and such. She didn't seem like the type to really have this stuff just laying around though, she really was a creative genius, but she simply over shadowed that creativeness with only genius, and now that it was finally draining her she only blamed it on others. As if it wouldn't have happened either way.

Estella kept rambling, Aurora had no problem listening and reviewing her surroundings usually but she was far too focused on the confusing yet slightly comforting mess that was the seemingly 'neat-freak' ravenclaws room, she made sense of it however. Dear god, maybe her poor friend really was falling apart.

She let her mind race before her eyes wondered off and caught a quick glimpse of something, something she wanted to take a closer look at but far too risky that Estella would notice. From afar she couldn't really make it out, nearly at least. It seemed to be a small silver object no bigger than a small wooden pencil really, it looked sharp, sharp shiny and silver.

Aurora only squinted at the the object before her annoyed friend snapped her out of any thought she was thinking.

"Ugh, are you even listening?" Estella huffed out while crossing her arms over her stomach in a quick manner. The gryffindor nodded, still not paying too much attention.
"Rory! Please, this is very important to me." Estella complained, "What are you even looking at anyway?" she questioned attempting to follow her friends eyes as Aurora only turned back towards her before she could do so. "Huh? Oh nothing, sorry, your rooms kinda... distracting. So, you were saying?"

She mustered up a toothy grin while looking up at the other girl, who only just scoffed.

"Well, if you were listening any, I was saying how my brothers stupid friends keep getting me in trouble and distracting from my studies. You know its super unlike me to be getting in trouble, or being late. I mean yesterday I got a detention!" She continued on complaining and placing blame.

"Oh right, wait detention, congrats! Welcome to the club!" Aurora cheered sarcastically as if mimicking what any other troublemaking kid would've said back.

"Okay kidding, kinda, but you know its that bad to let loose a little and have fun. You can do both, study and have fun, its not impossible, I do both pretty much. I just prefer partying is all."

Estella nodded at the other girls input.

Aurora stood up, exhaling as she did so. "Welp I'm sure you'll figure something out, nice talking but I gotta go find Aruna, she's supposed to be helping me with potions class. See ya around Esty."

Aurora smiled playfully as she gathered herself and headed out, not even waiting on Estella reply.

"Yup thanks so much." She thanked sarcastically while closing her door a little more harshly than she met to.

Stella lied there lost in thought, mind racing. Was Aurora right? I mean yeah, she could easily even everything out if she really tried, she could party and sneak away without being caught and have fun, while still keeping up her grades, maybe she was just worrying herself too much. She could also let out some of her true creative abilities if she wanted. She just needed a way to even it all out, no problem, right?
