This list stuff--now this was something else altogether.

Somewhere in the back of her mind, she thought she heard someone calling her name. She pulled herself out of her thoughts and turned to the person on her side--Evelyn, who was asking for...something. "Hmm?" she asked. Then a second later, she realized her friend had asked for a quill. "Oh, yeah, sure." She fished in her bag and pulled out a spare quill, passing it over to Evelyn.

Hurry up and get something on your parchment, Evelyn! That way I can copy what you've got!

In all seriousness, though, Sierra just needed to put a lot of focus into thinking about her father. He was the family member she was closest to, after all.
Mwahaha!

"Thank you." she smiled, taking the quill and giving a good once over. Seemed ordinary to her, and she hadn't dropped down dead or anything so it wasn't poisoned. Not like Sierra would do that, HA! Just...just being cautious.

Writing the first few words at the top of a new page in her...Ancient Runes notebook, ugh, the Slytherin girl paused for a moment before flipping the page and writing the same thing down before creating the lines and whatnot- OMG! The quill just turned BLUE!

...

Giggle.

It turned bluuueee. That was so awesome. Before she could get distracted anymore what the color changing quill, Evelyn quickly stared jotting random things down in the columns as they appeared in her mind. The trouble was though, she was trying not to get angry as she wrote them down.

SPOILER!!: Evelyn's notebook


FRONT PAGE

Biological Family

Pros
  • Support and guidance?
  • The money and reputation is pretty good I suppose.
  • The house was nice.
  • Always pushing you to be your best so you don’t embarrass them.

Cons
  • More room for disappointment from parents to child.
  • More room for disappointment from child to parents.
  • Expectations are higher. Not good.
  • They can have more children. Little brothers specifically.
  • They say they love you, but deep down, I know they don’t! They can’t wait to get rid of you when you turn seventeen.
  • They can set all the rules in your life up until you turn seventeen. And even then, some of them still continue.
  • Always demanding respect because ‘they’re your family’.
  • Must have a presentable image so you don’t shame, embarrass, or disappoint them.
  • Competition between siblings and family members can take turns for the worse, effecting people emotionally.
  • May have other commitments before or more important to them then you.
  • You get sucked into their arguments.
  • Sometimes forced to choose sides.

BACK PAGE

Chosen Family

Pros
  • You know that they’ll be there for you no matter what.
  • You aren’t stuck with the people that are in your actual family.
  • You can be more yourself.
  • You aren’t being judged 24/7.
  • You are the one that chooses who stays or goes instead of being stuck with...people...that you don't like.


Cons
  • One should be rather careful with who you choose.


And just through all of those words had the quill turned to yellow, red, green, orange, and purple. OMG! Sierrraaaa...where did ya get the quill hmmm? 'Cause the younger Slytherin girl may have to go buy another one. Evelyn was too attached to this one now.
