Kara could only nod her head in response. Everyone else agreed with Erik about her mom. She did love her mom, but still couldn't understand why she was the way she was. But Erik's home life was worse than hers. At least she had one parent who still cared and loved her.
"No we all have anger in us somewhere. And you mean villages? I don't know what you mean, sorry." She apologized.
"No Paisley is kinda of up on crime and most of it is in some kind of poverty. Carlisle's older brother Edward once got mugged outside of a pub about three years ago. So that's the only time I wish I could use magic outside school. I know all about defense spells. Carlisle thinks I should be an Auror or something like that. Do you know what you want to do when you leave Hogwarts?" she asked curiously. She could see Erik as an auror or something like that too.

"No those buildings with big crosses on them. They have colorful glass in the windows. Searches or something like that." Erik said shrugging his shoulders.
"I think you would make a good aurror, you are very cleaver and intuitive. I have always wanted to become an unspeakable, theres something about working with things that are unsolvable that just fascinates me."

Kara began laughing. "I believe you are looking for the word Church. And yes I was raised as a Catholic, but I stopped going to church when my acceptance letter from Hogwarts came. My mom freaked out thinking that God wouldn't accept me into his church because I was a witch. Ironically enough, my mom is very involved yet she is a witch. If the old church ladies...they love to gossip, found out then I think that would turn very ugly. They're about 3 churches in Paisley, most of them are in Glasgow." She replied.
"And thanks. I think I would love being an Auror, or writing for the Daily Prophet. I love to write. I am even writing a novel in my spare time right now. And really? Wouldn't that drive you crazy? Knowing that you'll never solve the mystery no matter how much time it took or what it could cost you?" She asked him very curious.

Erik knocked himself in the head. "Church, well I was close." He said with a chuckle.
"Well, I think if you keep your work at home, than it shouldn't cost you anything. I think eventually though it would get solved, but if it doesn't then I can honestly say I did everything in my power to prove it right or wrong. One of the things I work over in my mind is magic...how it works, why we have magical powers compared to muggles, and so one."

Kara frowned a bit when Erik hit himself on the head, "Well yes you were close...searches haha! I'll have to remember that. Hey Erik have you seen any searches lately?" She asked teasing him with a loud laugh.
"You do have a point. But what if you worked at home and had a family to support and spend time with? Surely you won't be alone the rest of your life. If you think so, you won't. Life throws you surprises and one is someone special. Sorry I am a hopeless romantic, it's so lame." She replied blushing. She knew she was and hated to admit it to guys because she thought they could care less.
"Really now? I would love to hear what you think about the theory of the method of selecting certain people to become witches and wizards. Like me, I'm the middle of 3 kids and I'm the only one who got a Hogwarts letter. Or any of the muggle born students get the magic in them? You have me very curious right now Mr. Phantom." She replied with a smile. She liked talking to Erik, he was very intelligent.

Erik laughed along with Kara. "Hey, I was close! And no, I haven't been to any searches lately."
Erik had to agree with Kara, "Well I don't think I'll be alone forever, and with jobs and family, you can take it to far, and bring your work home with you, or just really love your job and keep it at the office. I intend to do the later." Erik said matter of factly.
"Well I have had some time to think about magical beings, and why we are magic. It could be that if in your deepest of hearts you know you are different, and nothing can keep you as 'normal', or it could be as simple as maybe touching something or someone magical, but where was the first magical being or thing....this is the kind of things I like to think about from time to time." Erik said.
"I'm not boring you am I?"

Kara smirked, "Hey Erik watch out the searches are coming." She replied while laughing. She was going to have tons of fun teasing Erik about that for a long time.
"Good because when you feel like you are alone, it's easier not to care or give in easily. You're a good guy and whoever ends up with you will be very lucky indeed." She said.
"And no you're not boring me at all. I agree with your thoughts, I really do. I always knew I was different, but just could never really admit it. I always could do things that I never knew I could do. Like one time in primary school, I was being picked on because of my red hair. So I got mad and suddenly thought of this guy tripping over his own feet in front of everyone at our school play and he did. I honestly thought I was a freak of nature because things kept happening when I got mad or even bored. It was like magic to me. And it turned out it was." She replied with a smile.
"I hate the rule that we can't use magic outside school, even around witches and wizards. It's so dumb. Maybe it could get my sister to shut up." She said with an evil laugh.

Erik pretended to tremble on the floor. "Oh no, the searches are coming for me. Wait do the buildings move?!?"
"I had things happen to me when I was younger too. We were swinging and he told me I was a stupid, and I got so mad, and when he tried to jump off he went really high in the air, and ended up breaking his arm," Erik said shaking his head. "I guess he learned not to call me stupid." He said with a laugh.
"How old are you?"

Kara began laughing at Erik's antics. He was too funny! "Yes and they have a sign that says 'Erik loves us and we love Erik' 'Come to us Erik.'" She replied laughing.
Her eyes then went wide. "Wow. Yeah remind me to never make you mad." She replied with a giggle.
"I am 16, I'll be 17 in April. How old are you?" She asked him curiously as she raised her wand up, muttered a spell and soon the floor of the Shrieking Shack was clean. She then placed the palms of her hands on the floor and placed her balance of them as she leaned back.

"I would like to have a photograph of that sign. I would frame it and keep in in my bedroom." Erik said with a laugh.
"I'm 16, and my birthday is in May. I can't believe your older than me." Erik said shaking his head with a smile.
"So what made you first want to become an aurror?"

Kara grinned. "I'm not that creative, but your wish is my command. They also have another sign for you...they want to know if you are feeling better." She asked him softly. She hoped that him laughing made him feel at least a little better.
She then grinned evilly. "Aha! I am older than you, you have to do what I say then." She said with a laugh.
She then smiled as she got up and then glanced out of the dirty window. She pulled the dusty curtain aside and saw the sun trying to shine outside.
"I just love DADA. I love learning defensive spells. I love learning how to defend myself when the occasion arises. Everyone thinks I am weak, but I would love to prove to people I am not. That's not why I want to become one. I've dreamed about it since I started coming here." She replied with a sigh.
"If you could decide your future, what do you want? Or would you rather be surprised as you live day to day?" She asked him curiously.

Erik sighed. "Well, I guess I'm doing okay. Cassidy and I were friends before we started dating, did you know what? She was my best friend, and I never thought she would do that to me. I'm not sure if we can even be friends now or not."
Some part of him would like to know exactly how his life will end up, but surprises are so much more exciting. "Well, I guess I would rather live in the moment and not know how things will end up. If you could see your future would you really want to know it?" Erik asked.

Kara sighed. She definitely knew that feeling. "Well I know how it feels to lose a friend and not be sure of what the future will hold. You know Carlisle, my...well old friend with the black curly hair? Well he and I aren't friends anymore either. I want to be his friend again, but until he gets rid of the source of all the drama, then I can't. I'm just sorry she hurt you bad Erik. Like I said you're a good person. You don't deserve it. And I didn't either. But here's some free advice and I know it sounds cheesy, but trust your gut and heart Erik. If you think you can be friends with Cassidy, then by all means do it. But don't put yourself through it if you're not completely over it. The last thing you want is be miserable in front of her. Personally I think Harry Potter is not that cute." She replied with a laugh.
She then stopped to think about her own question being tossed back at her. "I basically agree with you. I would love to know what my life has in store for me, but I also like not knowing either. I just wonder if I'll get married and who the poor sucker will be." Kara replied with a laugh.

Erik laughed at the comment she made about Harry. "Well, actually I talked to Harry the other day, and we kind of made amens, not if I could just get the guts to talk to Cass, I just can't make myself do it though."
He could hear the longing in her voice when she talked about Carlisle. He reached over and slung one arm around her shoulders and pulled her against his side and let go of her. "I heard what happened, and I'm really sorry. Tabitha really did a number on him didn't she?"

Kara glanced at him. "Well that decision is entirely up to you Erik. You do whatever you want to do. Remember no one's forcing you to do anything." She replied with a smile.
She then watched him wrap his arm around her and then let go. She smiled and patted his shoulder. "Thanks and it's okay. As much as I miss Carlisle, I know he needs to figure this out of his own. Just seeing the look on his side when I sided with Ethan still is in my memory. But he let her do this. Ethan had nothing to do with this; he hates drama. I'm still surprised he hasn't run out the door yet." She replied with a sigh.
"Well I hate to say it since I don't really know her, but yes I think Tabitha has an influence over Carlisle and I am really scared to see what else she can get him to do." She confessed trying not to get upset or angry.
