Allie, I’m so sorry, but this thread is a private thread to Euphrasia Millie, I’m sorry.

It seemed like such an odd coincidence that Euphrasia was either always angry, or always happy. Nothing about it made sense to the eleven-year old. However, nothing usually made sense to Euphrasia, so it didn't feel too out of hand. Yet there was something else about a certain outbreak that had happened a week ago. 

Euphrasia had snapped when a Slytherin girl (and, after talking to a few friends, had found out was called Min-seo Kim) had just been asking her to be quiet. But there was another type of emotion in Euphrasia's head, guilt.

It had been one of the most embarrassing moments of the girls life, and she regretting it. But, she was very arrogant, and hated being told she was wrong. Euphrasia just couldn't help it. The guilt in her bones told her she needed to apologize, but the thought of going to someone and apologizing was too much for Euphrasia to handle. If she could barely admit she was wrong to something so easily proved, how could she apologize and admit she was wrong to someone she disliked?

Something like a crazy phenomenon, or at least like a mistake. If anything, a bad memory. 

One way Euphrasia dealt with guilt, or anything negative, going outside and taking a breather, just a break from everything bad going on. Today just felt like one of those days, where Euphrasia just needed to get away from society. 

When she set foot outside, she could already feel the chilly air on her face. The ground that seemed frozen, though dewy, crunched beneath her shoes. Euphrasia's black pants and black robes couldn't take in enough sunlight, leaving the girl shivering slightly.

Something made her stop dead in her tracks. A girl she recognized well, with a coat over her Slytherin robes, and hair tied up. 

Now was Euphrasia's time to shine.

"Excuse me, um, Min-seo Kim?" Euphrasia asked, nearing the girl, "I just wanted to apologize for what happened in the library, I was having a bad day." It wasn't much, but it made Euphrasia feel better.

Min chucked some of the seeds at the ground, frustrated. She shouldn't be this worked up about a small argument that happened a week ago. It wasn't anything big, right? Although, the other girl had a very narrow mind and she called her a snake-head, which was quite unsettling for Min. She'd always been terrified and mad at the stupid stereotype, where the Slytherin is the enemy and the Gryffindor is the hero. There were many good people she knew from both sides of the spectrum. After all, her best friend, Rowan Bane, was a Gryffindor. Her other friend, Elena, was a Slytherin, and she was amazing. She just wished they didn't exist. Ravenclaws are smart, Hufflepuffs are kind and naive, Gryffindors are brave, and Slytherins are evil. She hated it. She stiffened as she heard a voice. A familiar voice. And not a good one. The girl from the library. Min-seo turned around to look at her, her eyes turning hard with a glare, but then they softened with confusion. How did she know her name? She realized what it was. An apology. She listened for a bit before crossing her arms. "I'm not sure if I accept it right away. I understand you were having a bad day, but I'd like you to open up your mind a bit on the other houses. Don't base them off of stereotypes."

"I'm not sure if I accept it right away. I understand you were having a bad day, but I'd like you to open up your mind a bit on the other houses. Don't base them off of stereotypes."

Euphrasia huffed, and fought down the guilt and sadness down in her stomach.=. She knew it was impossible for anyone to accept her apologies, in any nearby amount of time. It was just something that always happened to the eleven-year-old. However, it happened all the time, and by now, Euphrasia had gotten used to it.

Euphrasia's violet eyes and black hair shined in the bright sunlight, and her eyes seemed to be more a shade of deep pink. But all in all, her eyes were a deep violet. A unique and rare color, and Euphrasia loved them. She had inherited her eyes directly from her grandmother.

A new type of guilt entered her lungs. One that could never go away, one that seemed just like Euphrasia's grandmother. The one that had recently passed away. It made Euphrasia wince hard and nearly collapse. Hard to keep herself up, Euphrasia ignored her already shaking hands. But how long could the guilt stay hidden?

Taking in a deep breath, Euphrasia ignored her shaking voice. It seemed like all of it could go away in a matter of seconds. Her confidence levels dropped severely low, and her voice did the same, yet she tried to talk as loud as possible. Her voice was barely above a whisper.

"It's not that I'm not open-minded, it's that I read too many biased books. I swear I'm not like that as a- as a person." Euphrasia's voice broke and she nervously hid her face away. It's not like the girl would notice.

Min-seo crossed her arms, feeling a bit bad, but she was just saying the truth. You shouldn't sugarcoat things like this. The other girl really said some hurtful things to Min-seo. Min-seo looked at the girl with her doe-like eyes and they softened a bit from the hard glare earlier, the golden specks more visible in the sunlight. The girl seemed to have somewhat of a nervous breakdown after Min said that. She sighed softly. The more she looked at the girl, the more guilt she could feel radiating off of her. She seemed quite ashamed of what she'd done, but Min was still on edge a bit, not wanting the what seemed to be arrogant Griffyndor to snap at her again, so she just stayed quiet. She saw the Griffyndor get steadily more guilty and she looked more nervous and started shaking. Min looked at her, worried. Was she really that affected by just a simple comment? Min-seo uncrossed her arms as she heard the girl speak. She sighed slightly. She stepped closer and put a kind hand on the other girl's shoulder. "I know that books are quite biased, but have you actually taken time to get to know the people that the books are biased against? Books might have the right information, but that doesn't mean that they don't have the wrong information if that makes sense. Plus, you don't really seem like the type to hate someone just on wrong information," she said as she retracted her hand from her shoulder.

Euphrasia had began to block out the Slytherin's words. Something in her body didn't feel right, and pain was seeping like blood. Refusing to go away unless acted upon. Not letting itself get better, nor worst.

It seemed that everything Min-seo said had left her brain. The Great Lake itself was making Euphrasia worry. She had just recently explained to a Gryffindor boy about her grandmothers death, and the exact spot the two were in, was where she had done it. The guilt that Euphrasia could feel, was too much for the eleven-year old. It just so seemed her body agreed. Her eyes began to water, her legs began shaking-

Euphrasia collapsed on the ground. Her soft, pale skin blending standing out against the dull, brown and orange leaves. No tears left her eyes, but a wheeze did. Her lungs seemed to collapse as well, but breathing in the cold air froze Euphrasia's throat, and Euphrasia couldn't take it. She coughed, trying to keep everything in, but piece by piece, she was falling apart.

The cold air blew through, and Euphrasia hugged her black jacket closer to her chest, the one her mother had sewn, just for her. It covered her red and gold Gryffindor tie and badge, and the majority of her black pants.

Euphrasia tried to summon the strength to pick herself back up, yet nothing came. Her legs refused to move.

Min-seo sighed, as the girl didn't appear to be listening. She seemed quite distracted. Maybe the girl didn't care about what Min-seo was saying. Min was used to it, it wasn't the first time something like this happened. She wrung her hands together while she looked at the girl, hoping that she had comprehended somewhat of what she said, which wasn't the case it looked like. But then, the girl collapsed to the ground suddenly, and Min-seo's eyes widened. Was she okay? Was she sick? She rushed closer to the girl and kneeled down beside the girl. From what she could tell, it seemed like the girl was having some sort of panic attack. Min-seo had her fill of those. She had severe anxiety, mostly social, because of what she went through as a kid. She was getting better now, but now wasn't the time to think about it. She placed her hand on her shoulder lightly with her small hand while the other girl seemed to be breathing like she didn't have any oxygen. "Hey, are you okay?" she said softly as she rubbed circles on her arm with her thumb. It's funny how Min just disregarded what happened in the library to help, she usually would hold a grudge.
