"She has three little kids, who I normally like, but after living with them all summer..Let's just say I will never have children."
Presley smiled at Elliot's comment. She shook her head. "No, I completely understand. I know how my father would react if I did such a thing. Besides, I'm assuming that your parents would agree with mine." Running away, in Pureblood society was so looked down on, that even Leo wasn't on Presley's side this time.
"Leo's mad because he thinks I'm being childish. He says I just need to grow up and stop arguing with my father. He is my parent after all." Presley didn't need to tell Elliot that she disagreed with that. Yes, he was her father, but he'd never been much of an authority figure in Presley's life. And she wasn't about to start taking orders from him now. Even if he had cut off her funds and cancelled her dance lessons. It was hard to live without dance, but if it meant avoiding the shame of admitting defeat, she would do it for as long as it took.
Elliot crinkled her nose. Oh no. ELliot could NOT let Presley Black, her close friend, and a VERY noble pureblood live with a MUGGLE. "
No, Presley, you're staying with me until you sort this out. No. I won't allow it." She stood up taller, straightening her back. HEr eyes shone brilliantly, and the determination in them is what made her such a valuable Ravenclaw. "
I don't care what my parents say. I am sick of them treating me the way they do anyways. Father can't say a word. He's never home anyways. You're coming with me over the holidays." She dropped her trunk, and used that hand to place it on Presley's shoulder.
HEr eyes were really steely, now.
"You can NOT give in, Presley. You will not. You hear me? You stay strong. You aren't alone." Her voice was gruff in anger. In passion. Because Elliot was a hot head, and she was NOT going to let ANYONE push her OR Pres around.
She wasn't arguing. She wasn't going to let Presley slide her invitation off...
"And don't try to argue with me. It's final." She said, her voice like stone.
And when Presley talked about Leo...Elliot's face flushed with a bit of anger. "
Childish? You ARE a child!" she snapped. She began to dig in her bag...
"I am writing to that brother of yours. How DARE he abandon you!" she cried, utterly FILLED with rage now. Elliot would probably EVENTUALLY help her sisters out in that situation...
