Every coin sadly had a back side that wasn't always sunshine and roses. Nodding Leo said "I didn't know you had a twin sister. Nat right? Do you keep in touch with her via letters with her while you are here? I guess you miss her?"

He had siblings not a twin. But he could relate somewhat at least and understand why her father reacted the way he did if also her cousin went here at Hogwarts in Ravenclaw. Smiling Leo said "All right, consider it done. I'll owl your father tonight. I can't promise anything but I hope my letter will make things easier." The private dealings between her parents it wasn't in his power to affect. It just wasn't.

Leaning more back against the seat off his chair Leo nodded "Good, the house elves can help you make your robes feel les stuffy, because you need to wear them Haddie!" There was no escaping that. The last thing he wanted to hear was that some of the professors had docked pointed for her not wearing the proper attire to class.

Twinning his fingers around each other Leo sat silent for a moment, considering before he said calmly. "You are supposed to be yourself and not try to be someone you are not Haddie. You may not always do smart things but you certainly have more wit than many other eagles do. You have a keen intellect and usually have original ideas and methods for getting out of trouble, don't you? And you are quirky aren't you not? All those things makes a true Ravenclaw and the wisdom and thirst for knowledge you'll get through practice and experience. You just need to have a little faith and patience and it will come."

Shaking his head Leo learned forward to pat Haddie's left arm before he leaned back again. "I'm sorry if you don't feel accepted by your peers. I accept you and see you as true eagle and with time your eagle peers will too. Just give them a chance to show that. Doesn't Rachel accept you either?"

Hadley nodded. "Yeah, Nat. We do. And with the two way mirror Mom got us for our birthday last year. But she didn't react all that well to me being a witch without her and so didn't talk a lot last year. But we've made up." Finally. Hads didn't go into how scared she was that she and Natalie would end up like her Dad and uncle. "This year we plan to write and talk everyday. Poor Wimple is gonna get such a workout." She'd use a Hogwarts owl once in awhile if Wimple didn't get jealous of other owls like he did. "And thank you, Mr. Kitridge."

Hadley nodded about the robes. "I wear them to classes and everything, sir. But on my own time," when not in classes or at school events, "I prefer to just wear my school uniform without the robe..." Was that okay? She had thought it was, but maybe not? "Anyway, the weather will be changing soon and I'll be bundled in the robes for warmth all the time."

She listened quietly to Mr. Kitridge, a small smile spread on her lips. He was actually making her feel better. And surprised. More wit than many other eagles do? And if she didn't know better, she'd say he actually seemed impressed by her skill at getting out of trouble. To her that was just survival instinct. And yeah, she guessed she was a bit quirky. When he was done, Hadley simply shrugged. "It just sometimes feels like everyone wants me to be someone I'm not." Her Dad, teachers, professors even, hell, last year it seemed to her that even Mr. Kitridge had wanted her to be someone she wasn't. But she wasn't going to say that, especially with him telling her to only ever be herself. When it came to Mr. Kitridge, perhaps she had been wrong.

Nodding once more, Hads said, "Yeah, Rachel does. So does Kitty, Azura, Ailsa," she was family though, "and Penny." And that was the list. The list of Ravenclaws she knew accepted her. The rest either didn't or were ambiguous.
