Against her will, her hopes began to rise as she contemplated having a friend she could be honest with. As Satine began to describe how she'd attended muggle school and had trouble hiding was she was, Ivory felt a sense of kindred. They were literally two peas in a pod.
Trying to not stammer with excitement, she began talking about it with the first person who wasn't family, in well ever.
"I... Wow..."she stammered. "I just..well it's so nice to meet you then...because well...I'm a 'meta' too."
Immediately she felt a huge weight come off her shoulders and she felt a rush to tell this person everything.
"My dad's a healer but was a muggleborn," she began in a rush. "Although recently I'm not quite sure he was..." She said that part more to herself but then continued. "And he wanted me and my brothers to grow up with a muggle education so we could appreciate it. I was always told that 'Beauty was on the inside' and always scolded if I 'changed' anything for fear of being discovered so.." At this point her voice lost it's animation. "I never really developed my abilities. All I can do is make my nails grow since I always bite them, and sometimes change my hair type but that takes hours." She admitted ruefully.
"I mean my hair and eye color changes when I change mood but not drastically, but that's pretty much it. I would practice with my mom to lighten and darken it, but my dad always thought there was no point to learn yet since I'd only have to restrict it. That's why I was so happy to finally be coming here."
Ivory waited hopefully, praying that Satine wouldn't get up and walk away at her lack of abilities.
Satine smiled because she could tell that she had something that excited Ivy...she really hoped the girl wasn't going to make fun of her ability because that was def one way to just tick her off. Satine braced for the worst as the girl began stuttering through her comments.... but then was instantly relieved when she heard the girl's revelation....phew that was a close one she didn't really wanna start the term off with having to squash a first year...Satine hated being mean but making fun her being a meta was one way to see the angry side of Satine.
She smiled even bigger than usual, which was hard to do since Satine always smiled.
"That is awesome! I'm telling you there aren't too many real metas out there so it's always nice to meet a fellow one." she said as she poked her chinchilla in the side to wake Gemma up.
She listened to Ivy's story and shook her head occasionally to show recognition and that she was listening intently. The whole time she was thinking about the possibilities of having someone else to work on her abilities with. It would be great because she had studied by herself for the past two terms refining it and learning control...but...then she heard the girl's last statement.
"
O...well...it's okay that you don't know how to control it yet...it happens...it's taken me two terms to get my control going, but it still changes if something drastic happens....like last term I had deep red hair and I still don't really remember why..." she said the last part quickly and more to herself...the last term was still a blur but it scared her to go ask anyone what that meant...
"
My first term here, every time I got embarrassed my eyes and hair would turn a bright pink or red...I have to admit that it was very embarrassing, but I worked really hard over the last two terms to get my eyes and hair under control...." she paused and focused for a minute and her hair and eyes instantly transformed into a deep blue color...
"My aunt's a meta too so she taught me this color this summer..." she paused with a questioning look hoping that she wasn't seeming to show off...she was just sooo excited to meet another young meta.
"
O it will be sooo much fun having someone else to talk to about this and...oooooo...and....we could practice together!!!! That would be great!!!" she said almost bouncing in her seat.
