The more an individual is exposed to something, the more they will like it. ------------- Elysia Valenne comes from an old and wealthy pureblood family, deeply entrenched in tradition and high society. However, unlike many of her Slytherin peers, she never subscribed to the ideology that purebloods were superior. While she carries herself with effortless grace, she has a sharp tongue and an even sharper mind, making her a formidable presence in any conversation. The Valennes are known for their secrecy and power, though they prefer influence behind the scenes rather than open allegiance to Voldemort. Because of this, Elysia was raised in an environment of high expectations and strict protection, always being taught that she must be careful about whom she trusts. Her family, especially her father, ensured that she had connections and safety, though this often meant others feared getting too close to her. Despite being a Slytherin, Elysia quickly gained a reputation for being different from the usual crowd-her humor and independence set her apart. She had no interest in blood purity debates and was known for outwitting her classmates, even the likes of Severus Snape and Lucius Malfoy. While some pureblood families respected her for her intelligence and cunning, others were wary of her refusal to align with them. She often butted heads with James Potter in their earlier years-his arrogance annoyed her, and she found his pranks childish. However, over time, their playful rivalry turned into mutual admiration. James saw in Elysia a challenge and an equal, someone who could keep up with his banter and match his wit blow-for-blow. What started as snarky banter and competition slowly shifted into something deeper. Elysia never threw herself at James the way other girls did, and that intrigued him.

"Potter," Phoebe says curtly. James frowns and says harshly, willing the odd feeling he has to go away, "Griffin, all of that stuff still doesn't make you pretty."

"You should tell him, you know," a familiar voice softly said from behind her. "I know you love him." "Remus," she began turning around to face her friend, "You know I can't do that. He's my best friend, and h-he's in love with his perfect Lily-flower," Elsie sighed as tears began forming in her eyes. "But, Elsie... you don't see the way he looks at you, he-," his sentence was cut off by the girl with tears running down her face. "I don't see how he looks at me, but I see how he looks at her! And, t-that's enough to know that I will n-never be good enough to be with h-him," she snapped through stifled words. "But why don't you just tell him? Why don't you let yourself have a chance at happiness for once?" he asked stepping forwards, wiping her cheeks with his thumbs. "Because...loving him is a losing game. Either way, I'm the one getting hurt," Elsie whispered, falling into the arms of the boy in front of her.
