I've kept things bottled up inside and it's not good for me ... or anyone else." she replied, looking up into the older woman eyes, wondering why she was saying this. "I just want my home back Professor, anyway I can." she added shyly.

First Transfiguration and now this? Ari blinked and hoped nothing she said would loose her points.

"Well. You don't have to bottle yourself up around me, do you? I'm still me, and I've made my position on this school plan known from the start. So... we're being honest. It's idiotic, right? Hogwarts is home... has been my home for almost 15 years now."

Gulping, she raised her hand. "I know who I am, I think. Seventh year, quidditch obsessed, hardworking and loyal Hufflepuff." Was that even remotely close to what Rae was talking about?

"But then... I never worry about you, Amelia. You'll be raising demons and then slaying them no matter what location. But are you making sure that the younger girls in your house know what it means to be a Hufflepuff? It's not enough anymore for us to be complacent."

Buuut that question. The question she could answer. Not with a smile, though. Instead, the second year grimaced. "'Pretty awful sometimes' is an understatement," she muttered.

"Indeed. My darling brother has helped to widow me for the second time... I think I owe him for that, don't you?"

She turned her head and caught a quiet whisper from the other side of the room. "Then cry. Rail. Weep and bemoan your loss, and then be stronger for it. Emotion is never wrong... until we let it overcome action."

suffice?

"Good," she nodded at Rapunzel and then at all her girls. "GOOD. There's still a little fight left in you. The battle is won, but the war will be ours. We will have our Hogwarts, our boys... Merlin, can you imagine how much they need a reason to groom themselves about now? Our husbands, our friends... we will unite again. Somehow."

She turned. "This is NOT what I intended to teach about. I should teach. Already lost one class to that... woman. So... a vote. Do we learn to defend ourselves or talk about mutiny?"
