(ooc to Roxxie: Sorry! Don't feel bad! I just said poor Erik and got invited in lol)
(ooc to Desi: No problem lol)
Kara could not help, but feel really bad for Erik. She knew how it felt to be broken up with. It was a miserable feeling and she wanted to be there for Erik. He had been nothing, but nice to Kara and to Ethan.
"I'm sorry that you're going through this, teenage love can be the worst thing. You put your heart and soul and everything into a relationship and the majority of the time, end up with your heart given back to you in pieces. Mostly by people who don't bloody deserve the tears and heartache!" Kara exclaimed as she kicked a rock that was close to her and it went flying down the stairs.
She then turned back towards Erik, "I'm sorry about that. I just know the pain you're going through. My last relationship was a disaster, you don't even want to know. I don't think I'll ever tell Ethan about it. Ethan only knows a little bit. I just don't want to feel weak anymore. I'm tired of it." She said releasing a heavy sigh.
"Okay sorry off-track here anyways, I do know of someone who is new here at Hogwarts. You met her the other day Jordyn. Or maybe this new girl named Julianna. She has blue hair, it's really cool. Nothing wrong with just talking." Kara replied trying to be optimistic for him.
(ooc to Roxxie: Yes I know she's drooling over Darek right now, but Kara doesn't know that.)

Erik raised his eyebrows at Kara. "Wow your ex boyfriend really did a number on you didn't he?"
Erik had to think for a moment. "Oh yeah, she was nice. She's in Gryffindor right, you should put in a good word for me." Erik said with a smile on his face.
He patted the floor next to him and a poof of dust came up. "You should have a seat."

Kara sat down next to Erik on the dusty floor. It never fazed her and she then turned towards Erik with a sigh.
"That obvious?" She asked with a laugh, "Yeah he did. He really hurt me and that was about two years ago. I never concentrated on dating or meeting anyone. But I met Ethan and plans change I guess." She replied.
She then let out a grin, "Sure if she's in Gryffindor, I'll find her and don't worry, I wouldn't say anything bad about you unless you really tick me off." She replied with a laugh.

Erik nudged her in the arm. "Yeah well plans do change. You know, I used to pride myself on never getting tied down, and being able to jump around and have fun, but look at me now. Ethan seems like a good guy, but I have to say, I feel protective of you for some reason."
Erik turned and looked at her. "Am I making you uncomfortable?"

(ooc: What's going through your head Miss. Desi? lol)
Kara turned her head towards him and found him staring at her.
"Well things can change Erik, you never know what life will spring at you. But heartache is one tough lesson to learn. I've always been taught to protect my heart, that I wasn't important enough for someone. But I finally know that I am. Not only has Ethan helped me with that, but so has everyone else I know...including you." She replied.
"Why? Why do you feel protective of me? You don't have to worry about me you know and no I'm not uncomfortable...trust me you'll know when I am. What are you thinking about?" She asked curiously.

(ooc: nothing! I swear, I thought they could just become really good friends)
Erik looked at her skeptically "I helped, really? I find that hard to believe, but I will take your word for it."
Erik had to think about why he felt so protective about her. "Well, I'm not sure why I feel like that. You seem to remind me of someone I used to know, but can't even remember who it is. I can't really explain it." He said with a sigh.

(ooc: Okay thats what I was thinking too. I like Erik, he's cool)
"Believe me it's true Erik. Everyone I have befriended have helped me get out of my shell and be myself around people. So thanks." She responded with a small smile.
"Really? So in a way, I remind you of someone? It's okay, you don't have to explain. I was just curious. See I'm use to people just not giving me the time of day and I was okay with that. But now I realize how much the friends you make here become your family. And my family's really weird in Scotland so I'm glad people here are pretty normal." She replied with a giggle.

(ooc: well of course you would Katie! Look who I'm basing him on!)
Erik laughed at her words. "Relatively normal. I guess you could say that I was that, if you looked hard. I mean, I am a Slytherin who has befriended several Gryffindors." Erik said as he nudged her arm again.
"If I could tell you who you remind me of I would, but it's like a name is written on a chalkboard in the back of my mind, and every time I try to see who it is, a puff of dust gets pulled in front of it, it's maddening." He replied as he ran his fingers through his long hair.

(ooc: muwhahaha! Yes, yes, yes lol)
Kara grinned at Erik playfully before laughing loudly. "You are correct on that, I'll admit. Most people are normal. There is nothing wrong with befriending Gryffindors you know. We're not that scary." She replied nudging his arm back.
She then raised an eyebrow, "Perhaps someone in your hometown? Or an old friend? A relative? I don't know. So what does a Slytherin do in his spare time besides befriending Gryffindors? I don't know much about you Erik and if we are to become better friends, then let's begin." She asked with a sweet smile. Maybe talking would get the sadness away from Erik's mind.

Erik laughed very loudly. "Okay, lets begin. Do you need to know my deepest darkest secrets, or will just normal information do?"
Erik was really stump on who she reminded him off. "I'm not sure who it is, but I'll think of it eventually, probably when I'm nodding off to sleep or in class not paying attention to what the teacher says"

Kara grinned at him. She found herself enjoying Erik's company. She knew that he would be alright, but it would take time.
"Whatever your want to tell me is fine, however, if I shall know your deepest secrets, then you will have to start at the beginning. I guess. I'll start with something. I'm Scottish, so where are you from?" she asked curiously.

"Oh, I'm only from London, not very interesting. How do you like Scotland though? Okay something personal for me, oh I hate my parents. They have been so caught up in their work they flat out could care less about me, as you can see it has left me somewhat bitter. When I'm home for the holidays, I basically spend my whole time in my room. Meals are spent in complete silence. They have only shown real appreciation to me when I was placed in Slytherin, which I hate being in! After I was sorted into that house, I went directly to Professor Dumbledors headquarters and asked him to let me get placed into another house, but as you can see, he reclined."
Erik gave a huge sigh. That has been on his conscious for years now, and that was something he never even told Cassidy.
"Sorry didn't mean to rant and rave, but it was just something that I had held inside me for a long time. As you can see it was eating away at me."

Kara let him talk and watched him let out a sigh when he was done.
"I have to confess Erik when I found out you were Slytherin, I was a bit shocked. I still am. You're not like any other Slytherin that I've met. And I like that. Oh Ethan's from London too. Carlisle, my friend and I are the only ones I know from Scotland. If you appreciate history and beauty, then you'll love Scotland. I'm from a small town outside of Glasgow called Paisley. It's not the best town in the world, but oh well." She replied and then her eyes went wide.
"Not only do you have a dysfunctional family, but so do I. My mum's a witch, my dad's a muggle. My mum doesn't like me to use magic since out of the 3 kids, I was the only one who got accepted to Hogwarts and my 12 year old sister wanted to go and now hates me since I refused to not go. I love it here. I'm close with my dad and older brother though. But not as close as we could be I guess. I am sorry that your parents don't appreciate you though. Hopefully you can move out as soon as Hogwarts is over for you or something." She replied.
"Okay so what is your favorite thing about Hogwarts?" She asked curiously.

Erik rolled his eyes. "Yeah, I was surprised to be put in Slytherin as well. Maybe this anger that keeps coming out of my mouth is the reason." He said shrugging.
"Now I don't feel as bad about my parents. That's horrible about your mother. I bet the town you live in is very quaint. You know those old fashioned towns with those big buildings with crosses on them...what are they called again?"
