Paige couldn't mask how accurately Dora's words stung, inhaling sharply as if on cue and eyes widening. It was precisely that reason that the seventh year was afraid of exploring her so-called gift and it was really only recently that she had had her first glimmers of positive visions. "...yeah..." she nodded softly while looking down at her fingers that she had now knotted with one another.
She did perk up a bit and nodded with a smile in confirmation that she would inform Dora about her results. Could not promise that the Gryffindor would be the first or even know the day she opened the letter, however. "Fun...but not necessary," she laughed sheepishly. "Save any big celebrations for the end of term maybe." Graduation and everything, which could come soon please.
Listening carefully, Paige wished she could offer some sort of clear reason or insightful words of wisdom to the Gryffindor...but truth was that she herself had only recently really begun to explore this side of herself as well. While feeling incredibly sympathetic to Dora's confusion, the Hufflepuff couldn't stop herself from laughing softly at her final question. "Because feelings are never easy," she replied. "Sometimes...you just cannot explain what it is you see in a person that draws you to them. Like you and this boy. Maybe he feels like a safe place to you and it's not so much him you are interested in but the idea of him and what he represents to you." Words that made her pause and reflect for a moment, her own cheeks rising in color recalling and very tense and confusing conversation from the summer once again. One that had challenged and pushed her past her limit and forced her own eyes open. "It's possible...you could be bisexual though...perhaps...that doesn't mean your preference is a clean 50/50 split....it could be 90/10 in favor of female partners but if the right guy comes along you feel the same sort of way towards them..." she continued, considering her own confusion with that. "I thought I was for a time...but I came to realize that I don't really see gender...I see something else..." Which was hard to explain right now and she really did not want to make this conversation about her. "It...drove me mad for a while...trying to figure out what was going on in my head and my heart...but I eventually just tried to go about life and let myself develop deep feelings for people naturally ... see where things took me...without trying to analyze why..."
But then again she had always lead her life with her heart leading over her head, especially when it came to matters such as these.
