Reflections Closed

Kit stared at the reflection of her in the mirror. Who was she? Or rather: who did she want to become? A spectacular Quidditch player. An undefeated duellist. A talented metamorphmagus. An ambitious half-blood. A cunning Snake. Or rather: who did other people see her as. A no-good troublemaker. A sassy loudmouth. An annoying class clown. A failed spellswoman. A fucking bitch. The myriad of adjectives and nouns started to mix into a meaningless puddle. She held her hands to her temple, suddenly dizzy. ‘Pull yourself together,’ Kit muttered to herself, her voice ‘Your name is Kit Isabelle Blaine and you are who you want yourself to be. So shut up and get out of these stupid abandoned toilets.’

But Kit wasn’t who she wanted herself to be. She had too many people to be jealous of, starting from the pure-blood heiress to the newly-met Estelle Nyx. To begin with, the white-haired Slytherin was everything Kit aspired to be. Sure, she might be a brat, but there was something about her… that just radiated a sassy attention. Perhaps she was not the best inspiration, but when did Kit start to have, oh, a moral compass, of all things? She tried her best snarky smile: it was a lip-sided, troublemaker smile. Kit studied her own reflection. These days, she had started too long for beauty, especially after her encounter with the Slytherin heiress. She had dark brown eyes and dark brown hair. Nothing remarkable.

Kit sighed then gathered her spirits. Class should be starting soon. There was no use spiralling in this pit of desperation. Biting her lip, she pulled herself up to a standing position. Maybe she should get a therapist. Maybe she should, for once, get her no-good mind figured out. Get her life figured out. Kit shambled out of the bathroom, her face shadowed with exhaustion and dejection. She didn’t know what to feel, how to feel.

Slam. Kit winced as she bumped into someone.
