A Birthday Well Celebrated PV complete

Arissa's smirk froze when she heard Cade's suggestion of writing her poetry in their next missives. She could imagine herself being unamused reading such an artistic writing, and perhaps burn it afterwards. It's a good thing that she did have the Fire Making Spell in her arsenal.

Like what her mother once said, 'Leave no evidence that would doom you'.

Cade's poetry was by no means dangerous, but certainly would be a little horrifying for Arissa's herself if her fellow Slytherin managed to get a hold on it.

No, no. She need to stop this madness.

"As much as I wanted to support your desire to explore new ventures, Cade... perhaps you could tone it down a little?" A whole parchment consisting of merely his poetry would be a nightmare that would haunt her in her dreams. If his poetry was the same as his lyrics, then...

Arissa almost shuddered at the thought of it. "I do believe that moderation is the key for everything. But I do applaud your bravery to challenge yourself."

Arissa shot him a forced smile, as she bit every word she said, trying to avoid expressing her grimace so openly. "And if you must train your new skill with me," she added grudgingly." Perhaps only one or two verse. And not the cheesy one, of course. "

If somehow he started his letter with 'Your existence is like a water to quench my thirst' or something similar, she would definitely threw it in the raging fire. Only that part of course, she could salvage the rest of the letter.

The dare marked the end of the party. Truthfully, Arissa didn't expect herself to enjoy it as much as she did as it was quite casual and a bit of a rush, but alas, Cade had proven her wrong. Well, one thing that truly shocked her was the fact that the gentlemanly boy actually proceed to give both the girls a hug. Arissa couldn't help but froze when she received it, as she was not used to be in a close contact with a male other than her father and Adrian.

However, a smile was still fixed on her face, as she said, "Thank you for the invitation, Cade. It's quite enjoyable despite the technical problems that we faced at the beginning of the party." She shook her hands with both of them; first Cade and then Miss Rosie.

Turning her head to face the other girl, she spoke, "It's a pleasure to meet you, Miss Rosie. A bit abrupt introduction, but I can say that I do enjoy having an ally in teasing the birthday boy."

Both girls are quite different in both personality and style, and she was a bit unique from Arissa's normal crowds. Nevertheless, her appearance did give the party a lot more color. Arissa definitely didn't detest such a thing, though she hardly experienced meeting someone that have such a lively personality.

"Perhaps we can arrange another meeting in the future. But for now, I believe that it's a farewell." She waved at them both before walking away; her mind started to think about her relationship with others.

Friends. Allies, Acquaintance, Neutral, and Enemies.

From the first day she stepped into Hogwarts, she has define them so clearly into those five categories. Cade is her friend, Miss Rosie as an acquaintance, but she's not sure whether or not she'll greet them so openly.

Arissa had her crowd of people she hang out with; which most described them as the snobbish Slytherins group, and she may or may not openly approached both of the Ravenclaws under prying eyes. But still, she didn't exactly reject building a new thread of connections, as limiting your contacts could make you become a narrow-minded adults.

That's what she'll do. No one can control her belief.
