What Comes of Bickering PV Closed

Just ignore him. Don't let him get to you. Kat, just ignore him. It seemed there was something inherent in her veins that made it impossible to ignore. Hackasplat went on and on and Katrina had to focus on ignoring, which was something that felt very ironic. Katrina thought back to their whole interaction, he just seemed very... shallow. And insensitive, but shallow above all.

Katrina stared at her notebook after her explosion. It was a desperate attempt to hide the crack in her façade. Well, if her explosion hadn't given enough already. There was something that was aching under everything else. Something that longed for someone to care. She had Bridget, but her only adult figure was two foster parents she refused to think about. There was a part of her that longed for Hogwarts never to have happened and her be able to live with her parents and brother again and have the fire never happen. But there was no way to turn back time.

Insensitive. That was her new description of Hackasplat. Also, if he was so ignorant, how did he know how to pick apart the exact things that were getting on her nerve? "Rumors hurt more than you would think when-- well, I'm sure you can't relate," Her icy tone was convincing enough. She really had opened her mouth with nothing to say. Something that didn't happen often.

"It's not that I care about other people's worthless opinions. But they do tend to get annoying when that's the first thing people think when they look at me," There was a half-hearted bite in her words, but she felt the weariness that was prominent before Hackasplat showed up.

"Just forget about them,"

That was his advice?! What kind of advice even is that? Oh, just ignore it. Well, duh, I'm trying. He really has no clue what he is talking about. Why don't I just leave? It would be easier that way. But then he'd know that he got to me. Katrina took a breath, "That's what I've been trying to do," Katrina really had no more words. She was running dry, and when she went past that point... well, things only go downhill from there.

[font=PT Sans]Hearing her say he couldn’t relate, somewhere deep inside he felt like a string had been snapped. This is what he hated most about people that continued on being sad. Just because they saw someone in a better light and spot they automatically assume that someone never had to go through anything to get there. “ Ah, you’re definitely right about that~” he slowed down “ No- I really can’t get your interest in these kinds of rumors. Not anymore at least”. He grinned.

“ I suppose I’ll give you the privilege of getting to know me, Lioness. No! Please, no need to thank me~. It’s the least I could do when I scared you earlier. So, Lioness..what’s the first few adjectives you can think of when you look at my cute face?No no- Don’t tell me. Just..imagine it” At first, he looked interested in what the Lioness would say. He leaned forward, a curious look in his eyes as if he’d heard thousands of answers, expecting her to say the same yet a glimmer of hope that she might say something else.

Maybe something else other than what he had shown her? It’s hopeless thinking when wanting someone else to know what you haven’t shown. It really was odd, seeing the flamboyant boy look so serious just for a few seconds. What was he even trying to do? Changing the topic back to him? Was he really that butt hurt over her low opinion of him that he was ...upset? Upset enough to be talking about another topic that had nothing to do with the prior? One he was still sensitive about as well? With her? Finally realizing his mistake, he hastily looked away only to came back with a completely different face than before. That second of looking away was most likely Hanako just placing back the mask he temporarily forgot about.

“ Hah...I’m getting bored. ..” he suddenly says, cutting off everything the Lioness said and faced her with a lazy posture and insensitive smirk. “ Anywayyysss~ I think you’re mistaken if you think I can’t relate to you because I’ve never had a taste of that on my own. I just can’t relate to you because I handled them quicker. “ he bragged shamelessly. As if wasn’t enough, he thought that poking fun at her words was a great idea.“ I think you’re contradicting your words a bit here, Lioness~. Coming from an expert on not giving a grass, I can concur that you do- in fact, give a grass~“

“.. Honestly, I would love to help you out with that. Really. I just think if you’re this down just because rumors, you’re pretty incapable of receiving help. “ without any trace of sympathy, he raised his shoulders seemingly given up on making her feel better. “ Seriously, I bet these rumors aren’t even that bad in the beginning. Are you sure it’s not just in your head? What- did someone raise their voice a little and you automatically assume they don’t like you~?”

@Katrina Walker

Katrina was reaching her boiling post. No, she was at it. This was going nowhere and was only stirring up the things she had taken so long to force to settle. Memories of harsh words in the common room. Jokes about how she was an orphan. Sneers about her panic attacks, that she was just overreacting. Hushed whispers that she had almost died. That she was weak because the mosp stings had been so detrimental. People didn’t understand, Hackasplat didn’t understand. She had had enough.

“You know what I think of you? I think you are a little insensitive brat who doesn’t know when to stop. It wasn’t funny, it isn’t funny, I do not think you are funny. What you are is rude, insensitive, and an annoyance to my day. You pretend to be all sweet and innocent but you are really just a pain in my behi—” Halfway through her rant, Hackasplat stopped her. He had so much gut. And that was it.

Katrina got her wand out and put it in her outside pocket. She crammed her books in her bag and turned on her heel to leave. She hesitated a moment, “My parents died, and gits like you don’t have the ability to understand what it’s like,” Katrina didn’t turn when she said this in an attempt to hide the hurt on her face, “I never got to say goodbye, and all they were was frightened of magic. My family disowned me and I don’t have anyone anymore. The only thing I do have is jerks like you and a whole bunch of trauma that I don’t even know how to deal with,” Katrina started walking away and stopped one last time.

“All you’ll need is a Healing Charm, too bad you’re just an annoying First Year,” Katrina murmered, just loud enough for him to har, “Slugulus Eructo,” She said only loud enough for the incantation to work. And with that, she slipped her wand away and left the room, not even stopping to witness the proof that her spell even worked.

It was something she would come to regret the instant she sat down on her bed. But, she had had enough. And he wasn’t likely to bother her again.
