Blooming Expectations PV Eva Evergood Finished

A gloomy saturday | 16:10 | Eating at the great hall

As they passed the entrance hall to the great hall Rosie wondered where Eva would prefer to sit. It wasn't around dinner time so a lot of places were available. Rationally thinking about it, it was more likely that ravens wouldn't mind seeing a slytherin there, so Rosie just walked to the edge of the Ravenclaw table. The folded blanket went next to her and the books and her backpack worked as some type of hurdle on the table, to kind of create this private ambience for her and Evergood.
She asked in her mind for some chamomile tea and vegetable sandwiches on fresh french bread, while waiting to see what the new friend would ask for she opened her notebook and grabbed a pen to the other side of her. _Let's work on our brand. So you are good with magical creatures which I'm not. I'm turning out to be great at transfiguration and charms, and you? I also can't fly, make me tense, I'm a floo powder person._She wrote two columns in her paper.

_Oh that's right I can also be fine at herbology. So I'm also doing fine at History of Magic, how are you in Defense against the dark arts? I'm not loving it._ Rosie kept adding things to the list while also sideways devouring her sandwiches. _Oh this, this is a map. It can map our strong and weak suits now at the beginning. We can see how we evolve, keeping statistics of us as study buddies. Plus, helps to keep a profile of our differences._ And on the verge of almost coughing because she was eating quite fast Rosie stopped to drink some tea. She wished for some cream and added a couple of drops to it. _My family is on potion making and baking. Yours?_ She got back to writing. _This is to prove we are not ghosts of each other. Or something like separated relatives. Thankfully we are very different. Well, not thankfully-thankfully, I would love red hair. You get it. _Rosie then wrote a list of similar strong suits and another of different strong suits. They were the same with charms, astrology, herbology. That can be healthy competition. In potions Rosie simply wrote a question mark, she didn't know if she was good at it, she definitely procrastinated a lot in anything concerning potions. Also in class it was hard to focus.

_A wand maker! That is definitely interesting. What did he say about our cherry wood unicorn hair wands?_It would be nice if her father had a professional opinion to give on it. She would never ask if that was Eva's area of interest, to follow in her father footsteps on wand making, for herself Rosie would avoid at all cost think if she would be good enough to fill in the gaps as a potion maker in her family. As Rosie finished her notes for the reasonable amount of information she collected that day she also finished her sandwich. _Oh, hope she gets the job. I could never work at the ministry but people that do always seem so important._Rosie tried to picture herself as an adult, she couldn't, neither as a ministry person. _{Divination might not be it.}
_Everything is done. For now. I'll keep this in my journal so I don't lose it._And she fold the piece of paper two times so it would fit between the pages of her notebook. _That was a fun afternoon. Seriously, thank you. We should start exchanging owls!_And Rosie wished for a cupcake, that appeared in front of her. _Hmmm, cinnamon cupcake. Try it._

_Is not that fascinating? I heard that these wands are good for amplifying magic too._ Cherry wands are also well-known to choose witches and wizards who need stability, intuition, insight, and focus in spellcasting, as well as difficulties in dealing compassionately with others. If Rosie had a talent was to overthink significance in everything. Specially when it comes to magical matters. I mean If her hat and her wand were so obviously aware of how lost she was how come she did not feel any despair? She wondered if Eva's dad would be keeping more secrets, some details about the wand he would not even tell her, because she was to eventually find that out. Was there more to find out about a wand and you, personally, as a wizard? _I sure hope my wand likes me. I heard unicorn hair can be burned out sometimes, if not respected. And need replacement. Can you imagine?_
Then she kept eating her cinnamon cupcake while Eva told her about her mom. She had a feelin the woman was full of energy and smiled a lot. _Daily prophet would be a lot cooler. Journalism is something I could do, better than office. Bored and sitting down everyday. Just like school but even more lame and gray._ So the friend also liked cinnamon. Good point to be added between the two. _I'm full but I'm taking two to my dorm. Maybe three. Yes three because someone might ask for one._And so she did, wished for more 3 of those pretty small cakes.

_So I guess we really are friends now._Rosie smiled as she tried keeping the little cakes together enough to balance the backpack, now completely full behind her, the big history book that did not fit on her hand and then the cupcakes on top of it. _I'll send an owl as soon as I can if you don't mind! Then we can arrange time to study. You know that table on the west wing next to a window? I like to sit there now, there is no competition there. We can plan a time to meet up, okay?_And she got up, successfully not knocking over her deserts. _Oof. That was close._And with her head she tried to convey what a handshake or a hug could, a short bow. As to say, see you in a bit. _Oh! Maybe I can even invite some other colleagues too. A study group would be the only club I am able to get in the moment. You will be a remarkable slytherin, I can tell, you might be like my grandma._ And as Rosie sat in her room that night, and ate the little cakes she spent a time looking at the pen that started it all. It was all good and sooner than expected the pen could be a joke or a symbol of a silly time on their history. She also liked feeling like Eva understood her, because they had such similar interests, it was clear that at least Eva would not think Rosie was annoying. In her heart the expectations of friendship and lightness bloomed, it is a surprising feeling every time a friend can cheer you up in ways you did not think you needed. Maybe to focus on people more like Eva would be best than wasting it on others.... like Jo Morgan. Rosie almost made a mistake with Evergood for letting Morgan get in her way of seeing the good in things. Confusion, self-doubt and all that introspection of suspecting others would only sabotage Rosie, she now saw it all. Eva was an easy mistake to fix, but with her heart reflorished the Willew girl would not allow herself to fall into that withering. No. Not again.
