Cynthia had not expected what was to come. Not any of it. She was minding her own business in the small hall, just rewinding after the first meeting in her debate club. She fiddled with her book absentmindedly, not reading much and at a slow pace.
That was when a girl sat down next to her. It grabbed Cynthia’s attention. She had an aura that made everybody want to look at her, like as if she was part-veela or something of the like. Cynthia, like the other students were somewhat staring at her. The girl didn’t seem as if it was uncomfortable. But really, it was her hair that was extraordinary. It was white. Not blonde, but just white. Really it was stunning. Cynthia wanted the run her hands through the beautiful hair. Cynthia was never pretty. Sure, some of her looks were good, but no one ever called her beautiful. And really, until this day, she had never seen someone so beautiful. She wanted to praise her badly.
Cynthia scooted a little bit closer to the girl. She cleared her throat and muttered, ‘Your…um…your hair looks very…different….’ Why did she just have to say that? What if the girl was unhappy about it? What if she took it badly? These thoughts went through Cynthia’s mind the moment after she had said it. Finally, she concluded: it was a big mistake….

OOC note : All of Pea's word and action are all 100% for the purpose of her character- please don't take anything to heart. >.<
It is another regular day at the big ole castle. This year has been- a complete mess for the part-Veela. It all started with the horrible news that came upon her at the beginning of the year and then when she was still facing those problems- another problem emerge from the dirty bathroom floor of the abandoned toilets. Why does she think that she would find anything good inside that cursed toilet, she also did not completely understand herself. But now- finally she has some time to breathe, right after her classes are complete. A spare time to compose herself in the convenient small hall.
-Ooooor not.
Apparently, nobody allowed her to have a little bit of peace inside this ancient castle after all. Because she notice a little pest slowly scooted closer and closer to her. Mind you- after everything that happens to her, she recently has gotten irritated more easily- more than usual, and her usual is already more than the regular human average.
When the student got dangerously close, she would notice it right away. Pea move her pupils slowly and gave her a prickly stare. "What. are. you. doing?" The white-haired says to the very plain Ravenclaw girl. She knows how much her appearance sometime attracted people, but now she is not in the mood to handle another person falling head over heels for her.
‘Your…um…your hair looks very…different….’ Now that is a very interesting opening, and certainly, a horrible opening line to flatter her. "...Different?" Her tone is now a little higher. Different can mean a lot of things, but different is never a good compliment. Is this girl making fun of her? Because of her hair color abnormality? She has certainly heard that before from the muggles, calling her names because of her uncanny skin decoloration. Pea sneered at the brown-haired girl, "Is that so? Is it different because you never saw hair that has been washed with shampoo before?" Pea scoffs and rolls her eyes, opening a book she was about to read before the Ravenclaw girl disturbed her.

Cynthia did not understand the girl’s anger. She was trying the compliment her!
Never mind, Cynthia tried to shake off the charm. The girl said ‘what are you doing’ very slowly, so that it sounded more like ‘what. are. you. doing.’ Cynthia stared at her, this time not just because she was pretty. ‘Can’t. People. Even. Look. At. You? Don’t you want the attention?’Cynthia was just so annoyed. It was the veela charm. This girl must have been part veela. That was why she was just so charmed. They were so…attention seeking…all they really had was a big ego. Cynthia tried to steady herself. Yeah, just be normal. It wasn’t like if she looked away she would die. Cynthia looked at the girl in the eyes, managing this magnificent feat.
‘Yes,’ she cleared her throat a bit too dramatically. ‘I do believe that you do not, in fact, wash your hair with shampoo.’ Now she felt…better…she supposed. Less…charmed? Un-charmed? Was that even a thing? Anyways, she felt much less…vulnerable. Cynthia felt as if she was herself again. The charm must have somewhat washed off. She was totally falling head over heels over a girl who definitely did not deserve it. She was…too prickly.
After that, it was annoyance. Pftt, Cynthia thought. This girl? Charming her? Unlikely. She was not going to let it happen. Not ever again.
Nevertheless, she was not going to admit that she liked how this girl looked.
