"Actually I met this guy the other day who really liked my art when I was painting outside so I sold some of it to him and then I used the money to buy myself something nice." Not that she couldn't buy nice clothes whenever she wanted. It was just that she'd actually done something to get the money, and then she'd done something with the money so that she had a little less money, so she was very proud of herself and felt like a proper adult being able to do things without relying on others.

"You could say I'm a full time artist because it's the only thing I ever do." Now she just needed a part-time job... and more life skills... and more things to do that could keep her mind off things. Right now, she only painted. Practically all day.


Raj was relieved when the hug was well-received, making it less tentative until they finally broke apart. Fine-ish seemed okay and something he’d accept, he just hoped she wasn’t just saying so for him. Had to be…interesting to start out in the post-Hogwarts world, something he’d get to handle soon enough himself. At least he had known the best topic of conversation to begin with with her art, smiling as she took out her sketchbook and he could see all her wonderful work. And her news…

“Ash that’s awesome!” he exclaimed happily, “I’m so happy for you.” That was a big deal for sure, being appreciated for your art and even earning money for it. Something to be proud of too. “Well, it’s something you love so why shouldn’t you do it full time?” the Ravenclaw remarked. Especially if you could find a way to have it help you support yourself. Then it won’t be something you dread for a living.
