                                                            Cathy flinched when Jean told her to keep her father out of the conversation. "A lot of people care about wrinkles..." She muttered glancing away, crossing her arms unsure what else to say. Glancing back to Jean she watched as he massaged his forehead in annoyance and she wasn't sure if she should start apologizing at that moment or not. Considering Jean was telling her to sacrifice her own feelings to be liked was not a good idea, she felt any apology she said at the moment would be insincere. It probably would be. She didn't see the problem with her teaching Leah the same thing she was taught.

                                                            Cathy blinked as Jean said he loved her not for any particular reason but he more or less just did without any logic. Then again wasn't that how love worked? There was no logic to how Leo loved David. Yet, it was hardly reassuring as there was no simple equation she could use to make Jean love her more or continue to love her. If it was partially her looks or popularity that would have been something she could control...

                                                            She gave an uncharacteristic scowl when Jean told her it was wrong to want to make other people happy in the fashion she did and was taught and was teaching Leah. "I..." She began trying to formulate her thoughts into words and then taking a deep breath continued, "Jean, I need approval from others to be happy. That's just how I am. It was the way I was taught. I don't have the confidence to just be happy. Maybe you are right and it has nothing to do with being a Hufflepuff. Houses probably have nothing to do with it. Look at you and my brother... you two are really different but you are both Ravenclaws..." She took a deep breath and looked down, folding her hands in front of her, "It's probably just me... I... Look I'm sorry, okay? It's just I don't know any other way to be. 'Be pretty'. 'Always smile'. 'People don't like ugly girls'. That's what I know. It might be wrong but that's really one of the only things I got, being pretty. I suck at being a witch, I can barely do the most basic of spells, and being on the international level really is a wake up call when it comes to quidditch, and... Being happy for people and being pretty for people, those are things I can do. Being pretty is easy and Leah is a naturally pretty girl, isn't it good for her to benefit from that?" At the end her voice shook as she looked up at Jean. Her normal confidence gone and Cathy felt like she always tried not to be but feared she was, silly and scared and weak.

                                                            Meanwhile Leah looked between the two, a crease forming between her eyebrows as she was perplexed at the conversation. She never saw her sister seem so upset before except maybe at their Dad's funeral, but even that was a long time ago and she didn't know if she was just thinking she remembered it or actually did. Yet, Leah was sure Cathy was a bit wrong. Cathy was good at plenty of things. She liked cats. She could speak a lot of languages. She was a really good cook. She had patience. She always was willing to help find cute clothes for her. Cathy never raised her voice and was always smiling...

                                                          We got no love for the man, we just end (Grab your friend!)

                                                          Jean blinked when Cathy told him that she needed approach from others to be happy. He closed his jade eyes and shook his head, this was quite the contradiction as of how he was raised in the first place. But also, he was a bit confused as of why he loved her in the first place because he definitely didn't love her for what she looked like. For two or three years of their relationship, he thought that Cathy had been doing these things because she felt like it. Jean led himself to believe into thinking that Cathy was confident because she didn't need approval from anyone, which turned out to be wrong now that he had thought of it. "Let's be real, people come and go, love," He said, as he took a deep shaky breath, even if his disapproval flowed on his voice, "Look, I know that some people would leave if you stopped pleasing them. But here's the thing, you can't please everyone and besides, the people left who still approve you nevertheless are the best people. Look at Dani, or..." Jean was going to say Eli but he remembered that he and Cathy were no longer friends, he even told the Scot to warn him whenever Cathy was going to be invited in their flat. And well, it wasn't like Jean had any choice but to do so, because all he wanted for Eli was to be comfortable. AS much as he wanted his bestfriend and his girlfriend to get back together, he didn't want to force them to just up and do so. "Listen, I know, it's hard to be confident. Trust me, I've been there, ever since... ever since David went on to threaten me in my first year in Hogwarts." He recalled the time when David threatened him since he thought that Jean was going to ruin Cathy's innocence, but now he thought it was stupid because Jean knew that he would never ruin any innocence.

                                                          He sighed when she apologized then went on about what she only knew. 'Be Pretty'....'Always smile'... It sounded just so wrong and he always believed that no one was ugly, it was just an insult to anyone. "No one's ugly, just so you know," He said, his eyebrows creating a crease, "Apology accepted, but you don't have to be sorry, I like it if you're being honest, really." He raised his hand as he accepted the apology, then added, "But Cathy, you lacking some wandwork skills except charms doesn't make you any less of a witch. You're good at Quidditch, you know like more than five languages, and you are a really nice person . And yeah sure, it's easy but it's not healthy. Being just yourself without needing approval is hard, I know, but it's worth it." He took a deep breath after making a long run of speaking, then he had a lightbulb on his head. He recalled from his studies that wands always makes the spells when bonded with a correct wizard, "The wand chooses the wizard" The studies always say. What if Cathy wasn't that bad of a witch and only got wand problems? Not that he was expected highly, but it was a theory, and it just might prove that Cathy wasn't just a pretty face. "If you don't mind, what's your wand made of, if you can recall?" Jean asked, it was kind of awkward to ask that question out of the blue, but well he did it anyway and he could not take that back anymore, "And do you recall the result when you just waved that wand in first try? I need to know that, too,"

                                                            Cathy made a long sigh when Jean pointed out people come and go. She knew that. Obviously. Both her parents were murdered after all. She had friendships ruined before. Jean's best friend and her once friend likely hated her, even. When Jean pointed out his insecurities stemming from David's threats Cathy frowned and said, "You do know my brother is harmless? He can't hurt someone even if he wanted to, says it goes against his ethics as a medical practitioner. Hippocratic Oath and all that..."

                                                            She frowned and listened as Jean argued no one was ugly, and she felt it best not to point out that by society's standards there were ugly people. Why else was there plastic surgery and make-up and beauty potions? She felt it best not to say anything. She looked away, blushing some, as Jean said that she wasn't any less of a witch because she wasn't good at anything besides charms. Not getting approval sounded awful, but what was she supposed to say?

                                                            Suddenly Jean asked about her wand and Cathy frowned. It had been a long time since she had gotten her wand and honestly she almost forgot about it. David had been with her showing her around. It was back when she believed the world to be safe and the magical world a happy fairy tale. "Acacia Wood with a Fairy Hair Core... I mean everyone has fairy hair core. Mum did, David does... as for the wood..." Cathy paused and shrugged, "I don't remember a lot about it. Same as my middle name though." She paused and tried to remember the day she got her wand and then said, "Oh, I remember, it wasn't anything spectacular just a warm feeling and a small wisp of wind from the wand when I tried it out. I didn't have any luck with anything else though." She looked to Jean suspiciously and said, "Why?"

                                                          The fact that David turned out to be really harmless made Jean abit pissed on the inside. Really? Of all his years with his own issues about intimidation and it turns out that David would not do s**t at him because of the Hippocratic Oath? If that was the case then that would be abit hypocrital of David to just up and threaten him like that. Besides, nowadays, Jean grew out of it because the snob had to either suck it up or leave him alone. Besides, he was now a legal adult, so why would David bother still now? "Well then, I guess the fact that the threats he gave to me prolly because he thinks I'm bad news for you is all talk, then? Gee, he should've done better," The last time was more of a mutter to himself than to Cathy, barely abit audible for her to hear.

                                                          He was waiting for her to answer back more, but instead saw her just looking away from him. Jean could not help it but feel really guilty for speaking out and breaking some news for her. He sighed sadly and looked down the floor again, thinking if Cathy and him were near to being opposites. Maybe but hey, opposites attract yet it wasnt like he entirely believed in that phrase. However, he wouldn't let Cathy raise her little sister into another people-pleaser either, even if he was aware that he was the only child in his family. "Look, it's just... I'm jus concerned for you and Leah, alright? I mean, I just want Leah to grow up happy without having to be concerned about anything, is all" He said, "Okay yes, it's none of my business to say this but really? Leah is already pretty the way she is, she doesn't need to put much effort on that,"

                                                          He nodded when he got the details of Cathy's wand... Acacia Wood and Fairy Hair. According to his ethusiastic studies, Fairy Hair was quite common and good at charms, so he supposed it's self-explanatory as of why she's great in Charms. As for Acacia, well, not many people got the chance to get that wand with ease as Wandmakers would say. He did find that the wood doesn't do flashy magic and was given to gifted people. And Cathy did say that she had a warm feeling about it, one of the common signs that the wand chose the witch. Besides, Jean used to have issues with his wand thanks to the fact that it has Centaur Hair for a core, temporental, books would say."Okay, I studied alot about Wandlore and well, the wand chooses a wizard-- Well, many people said that. Fairy Hair is great in making charms so I think it's a given. But you see, Acacia Wood is well... a tricky wand wood, doesn't really do flashy magic. I mean, it's not that bad but it does choose subtly gifted people." He said, knowing what he was talking about, "From what I'm seeing there, it looks like it did chose you because you're gifted. I mean, I makes sense that you are given that you're a Quidditch Player and a linguist. What I'm saying is, you're more than just pretty, Cate. Maybe you don't really have to stress out that much, yeah?"

                                                            "It could be based on our grandparents some too," Cathy said. "I mean they... they wouldn't, probably aren't, exactly thrilled that I would date someone... well you know the whole pureblood thing." She sighed, "And David wanted to keep me an innocent little girl forever. People don't stay that way. His thinking probably did more harm for me than good..." She looked away and sighed before looking back to Jean, "Honestly I think my brother sort of likes you or the most he'd like any guy I date. You're sweet that's more than you can say for most people."

                                                            Cathy smiled some when Jean said he was just worried. Standing on her tip toes she kissed his on the cheek and said, "Thanks but you can't live life with no concerns. You sound like my brother who thinks concerns can wash away if you work hard enough. Well, I like to think the same way too, though," She added with a small chuckle and shake of her head. "No she doesn't need to put in much effort, but a little effort is good, yes?" Cathy added leaning down and hugging her sister to her. Poking Leah's cheek she said, "To be honest I think you'd be pretty regardless of what you did, though."

                                                            "Really?" Leah asked.

                                                            "Yep," Cathy said before looking up to Jean and adding, "but putting in a little extra effort doesn't hurt either. I'll work on keeping things balanced. Looks are important, and you can't convince me otherwise, but you are right they aren't everything."

                                                            Cathy stood and as the conversation turned to her wand she tilted her head and listened intently, pushing some blonde hair behind her ear. "Being a good quidditch player and a linguist doesn't mean you are a good witch or wizard though," Cathy said. "I mean, sure, I'm talented but it just always bothered me. My family thought I was a squib for years and even when I do go to Hogwarts I never could measure up to my brother who is some genius healer. It is stupid but I want to be good at everything. Thanks though, I'm happy to have you cheering me on though. It's good to know that there's more to me than the fact I can barely do a proper match to needle transfiguration."
