“Guess I never really thought about it as weird. If our bodies weren’t meant to do it, then they wouldn’t be able to, right? They bounce back just fine.” He could turn into a fox and back into a human without any complications, so James didn’t see the problem in it, but he could see where she was coming from. “Are they saying that’s not a reasonable career?” James would love to travel himself, but that would mean leaving his family behind, and he couldn’t do that. “To be honest with you, not really.” James barked out a laugh. “I like the cold, but not that much.”

“I suppose. It is just odd, isn’t it? Technically, if you think about it. But see, this is why I prefer Potions — it’s a science.” She laughed, shrugging easily. “Apparently not. Did you know Ravenclaws especially are too brilliant for drinking wine as a profession. It’s an outrage.” Gisèle knocked a shoulder against his again, raising an eyebrow suggestively. “Well then, I shall wait until summer to ravish you under the stadium stands.”

“Well, I’m a survivor and I have a feeling you are too. We’ll manage. And maybe we can’t afford friendships, but we steal them anyway. After all, so many people own things they can’t afford.”

“I wouldn’t know; I’ve always been able to afford everything. But I see what you mean. Although, I do not quite see the point of stealing friendship. Pray, what is the point if you cannot afford them?”

“I’d like to think that the majority in  this house are intelligent, but their place on the trust-spectrum may fall short. There are few however. I’d like to think myself a realist,·however optimism is a bad habit of mine. Once you’ve hit rock bottom, you really can’t go anywhere but up. Unless, of course you’ve brought a shovel Gisele.”

“Of course not. The bottom is made of quicksand, didn’t you know?”

“Maybe it isn’t complete, but I wouldn’t say it is absent. I trust a few of my housemates with say my word but not with my life. I think that trust is not so black and white but rather a spectrum, which is problematic in itself.”

“That’s a fair enough assessment. However, I don’t think many really ascend too far up that spectrum, do they? You can maybe trust your housemates not to be unbearably stupid about all·things, for example, but any more than that might just be being overly optimistic about the human condition.”

“It’s not that I don’t see the point. Humanity needs to think that love is real to stop us from falling into depression, or satanic worship. I just don’t buy it.What people perceive to be love is really just a cocktail of infatuation, lust, and mutual tolerance.”

“It’s not depression, maybe just apathy. But you are contradicting yourself — if all it is is a cocktail of infatuation and lust, how is the world not in a gross state of satanic worship?”

“Transfiguration? See, I shine in that class.” As he should, considering his animagus abilities. “It’s Potions that I’m shite at but I’m not even going to take the exam since I haven’t been in the class. Oh, I went. Didn’t get much out of it, much to Professor Longbottom’s dismay. Don’t exactly have high goals for myself, you know?” Chuckle vibrating in his chest, James pushed his shoulder against Gisèle’s. “You a fan of exhibitionism or something?”

Her face contorted into an expression of disgust, a brief sound that matched escaping her. “But it’s disgusting. It was fine until it was inanimate objects but do you ever imagine the genetic material of living things rearranging itself when you transfigure? It’s positively unnatural. See, I can picture that, since apparently, 'I want to travel and drink wine' did not impress my head of house overmuch either.” She turned an impish smirk to him, answering laughter in her eyes. “That depends — you interested in a very cold bum or something?”

“Funny. You didn’t seem to be the type to form snap judgement, but we do all have our moments of incorrectness, I suppose.”

“That sounds correct. I guess you try to find that Middle Path, as the Buddhists say. Not to say that they got it entirely correct. Who can blame them? In theory, that happy medium sounds like it would be the most practical, but in practice…”

“In practice, it is impossible to find. Besides, I am fairly certain if you are only sharing half·your trust, it isn’t offering it at all.”

“No, I hate wren that happens,” Clio mused as she perched herself demurely. Curious eyes watched the carefully contrived rearrangement before the instinct to feign disinterest ( a skill they both knew all too well ) kicked in.·“I’m sure it’ll be dovely, but I’m afraid I’m running out of quips pertaining to the avian variety. What medium holds your fancy today?”

“It’s a tragedy, robin you of the chance to pun. Maybe you ought not to crow about the few you have.” She set up an prepared canvas on an easel as she spoke, cheerfully ignoring the vision presented.·“Oils, I was thinking. Do you have any particular opinion?”

“That would be quite a birden,” Clio teased as she turned away, letting her dress flutter to the floor before arranging the boa.·“This isn’t a peepshow, so don’t make me egret this.”

“Wouldn’t want anybody to eagle·you, would we? On your side, on the armchair please, duckling.” Gisèle followed, arranging the lurid pink feathers to her liking. ( If fingers lingered being inappropriate, she denied any intent. )·“Would you ever truly regret art·though?”

“No, no, we can stick to stud, that’s fine. You really aren’t that worried about them, are you? I figured I would be in a worse spot than you. You know you at least got Potions in the bag. I don’t really have a preference, and since you do, we’ll go with the pitch. So long as you don’t swing any bats at me.” 

“Good, it amuses me. Of course, I’m not worried. Apart from Transfiguration, nothing is too much of a bother and it should all go well, I think. It’s just that, well, you attended your career advice session, did you? This after-school business does not sound pleasant in the least. Although, Potter, I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but I don’t have any sort of bat with me at the moment. Now you, on the other hand.”

“I suppose I favor this to a stark, dismal snow scene… Owl do it, but I might grouse about it later.”

“Mm, I imagine lying naked by a fire is a lot nicer than lying naked in snow anyway. But oh, Clio, you could, but it might get a little hawkward in public.”

“Humans are mostly fluid, and they also make mistakes. You and I both have and will continue to do so until the end of our time. It’s tragic is it not. Once in a lifetime, I believe you may get one thing right in terms of connections. But as you say, it’s almost impossible to tell.”

“It is. You don’t know what will be great and what will be a fucking tragedy. So do you treat them all with hope or avoid them like a plague? Because one breeds optimism and the other self-preservation.”

“You’re right, I am an inspiring goddess and am aptly named to pose for you. The real question is, scales or feathers? I think the former would lend itself for a more unexpected composition, though the latter is more accessible. Toss it over and tell me where you want me.”

“Feathers, of course. It’s far too wintery to paint anything but frivolous, fluttering confections. Will you strip?”

“Buy me a boa and drive me to Reno because I am open for business!” @giselerousseaus

“I know how you identify with your namesake, Clio, but being open for business sounds a little too prostitutionary, don’t you think? Now the boa. Does violently pink work for you?”
