Kara laughed. "Yup if I do ever make you mad, I am so calling the searches. They will help me out." She replied with a laugh.
She then stopped laughing when Erik was being serious. "I really don't know what Ethan has going on after Hogwarts. Isn't that terrible? I have no idea what he wants to do with his life. I have no idea what he expects out of me in the future. I don't even know if I am in his future. What if he decides he doesn't want a girlfriend when he leaves??" She asked starting to panic. She loved Ethan and didn't know she could handle another heartache from a male.
She then took a deep breathe, "No I haven't told him what I want to do yet. Like I said, I'm sure he won't mind, but then again I don't know. He might want to come with me or might not. I don't know. Ugh it's so frustrating, not knowing." Kara grunted and then turned to glance over at Erik who had placed his hand on her shoulder.
"Thanks Erik, you're such a good friend. I hope nothing will happen to me, but then again you never know. If something did happen to you, then it'd be just as terrible. I care about you too." She replied giving him a small smile.

Erik held up his hands. "Whoa Kara, calm down. I'm sure if you talked to Ethan about this, that would give you a better idea of what he has planned." Erik said quickly.
He could understand why Kara would get all freaky about not knowing her future since they only had a couple months left of this school year, and then one year of school left, and they were out. Erik felt somewhat panicked as well.
"I really think you should talk to him. I know he cares about you Kara, and he would be devastated if you two broke up because of a miscommunication."

Kara watched Erik as he tried to calm her down. She took several deep breathes as she realized that Erik was right. She did need to talk to Ethan and she would sooner or later.
"I'm sorry Erik. I just get nervous when it comes to the future with Ethan. I'm always so nervous that he's going to meet a woman who is beautiful and he'll break up with me. That's part of what happened in my last relationship. As mushy as it sounds Erik, I think I love him. And if we broke up, I don't know if I could handle that. Sorry I'm totally being insensitive about your feelings right now." She replied feeling guilty that she was talking about love after Erik had just been dumped.
"You think that he'd be just as devastated? I really hope that doesn't happen. I just don't get why he likes me in the first place..oh well." She commented with a shrug.

"Kara, Kara, Kara. You underestimate yourself." Erik said holding onto her shoulders.
"I don't think your being insensitive. I know how love works, so I'm glad that you have found someone you love so much, and it's just as important to talk to him face to face. He needs to know how you feel."

Kara glanced over at him and sighed. "Love can be so complicated, along with friendship. It's insane. Gah and he knows how I feel about him. But he doesn't know that I've been thinking about a possible future. Doesn't that scare men anyways?" She asked him curiously.
She then gave him a weak smile. "Thanks Erik. Maybe I do underestimate myself. I like being different. I'm not a blonde ditz. I'm not a supermodel. I'm not a flirt or looking for anything sexual or anything. I'm a fiesty, stubborn red-head. I'm average and plain. And I think I like it. I'm not going to change or anything. My friend Alexis told me that I just need a confidence booster and I think she's right." She replied giving him a smile and then decided to be brave and hugged him quickly before she let go.
"Sorry if that makes you weird, but I hug all my friends." She replied with a shrug.

"Yes, thinking of the future does scare most men. I for instance have no intention of planning my future, I plan on taking things by the seat of my pants."
Erik was startled to hear her say that she was plain. "Kara, you are definitely not plain! I don't want to make you feel like I'm flirting with you or anything, but you are very hot." Then she felt her hug him and he hugged her back.
"Nah, hugs don't bother me. Now if you start kissing me, then we might have a problem." Erik said laughing.

Kara laughed. "Yeah just saying the word commitment freaks the hell out of a guy...commitment." She said with a laugh knowing that Erik wouldn't care.
She then sighed. "Erik you don't have to lie to me. I know I am plain and that's okay with me...whoa wait you think I'm hot? As in pretty hot? Are you dizzy? Have a fever or something?" She asked placing the back of her hand against his forehead. She then pulled her hand away still in shock. She couldn't believe that he would say that about her.
She then grinned with relief as he hugged her back. She wasn't sure if he liked hugs or not. She was definitely a hugger. "No offense, but definitely no kissing. Ethan would not like either of us and would probably kick your arse. Plus I would never do that to him anyways. Even if I was single, I wouldn't do that only because of the whole situation right now." She replied softly.
"Just curious, what House would have rather been in?" She asked curiously. She could see him in Ravenclaw.

At the word commitment Erik put his fingers in his mouth and started to shake. "Such a terrifying word! Speak it not around me! See me quaking?" Erik said cracking a grin.
Erik rolled his eyes. "Kara, you are not plain, you are hot, and I bet if I asked almost any guy he would agree with me. So your just going to have to deal with it. See no fever huh. I speak only truth."
Erik had to really think about what house he would have been in on his way to Hogwarts. "Well Gryffindor went through my mind, but only briefly, I was hoping that I would become a Ravenclaw, and thought that maybe I didn't have exactly what it took to become a Ravenclaw. I kind of already knew I would be a Slytherin, both my parents were, and it usually runs in the family. Now always, but most of the time."

Kara laughed at Erik's antics. "Quacking?" She asked while laughing.
She then stopped laughing suddenly. "Yeah okay whatever you say Erik. I'm hot, okay. Well I do appreciate the truth so thanks." She replied with a shrug of her shoulder.
"Really? You thought about possibly being in Gryffindor? Hahaha coming from a Slytherin that's pretty funny to me," She replied with a smirk, "But honestly, I see you in Ravenclaw too. My mum was in Gryffindor too so I understand what you're saying. Just look at all the Weasley's. They are the perfect example of that." She commented.

(ooc: lol I meant to put quaking lol)
"You saw me in Ravenclaw too. That's funny."
Truth be told, Erik would still transfer to any house if he could. "Would you have wanted to be placed in any other house besides Gryffindor, or have you always been a Gryffindor girl?"

Kara nodded. "I still see you in there. Now that I know you and am friends with you, it's still hard for me to believe that you were placed in Slytherin. I do see you in Ravenclaw. You're smart and kind most of the time. I'm just kidding." She replied with a laugh. She thought about that for a second. "Well I don't see myself in anywhere else except Gryffindor I guess. Sometimes if I had to be placed in another house, I would choose probably Hufflepuff. Not because of Ethan being in there, it's because I'm a nice person and not smart enough to be in Ravenclaw. Now before you argue with me back on the smart issue, I'm not the best student in the world. I do good on assignments and homework, it's the exams that get me. I have test anxiety. The O.W.L.S last year were a nightmare. I'm not calling myself dumb or anyone in my house dumb, but that's how I see it. Now you may rebuttle if you want to." She replied waiting for his reaction. (ooc: I knew whatcha meant

"Hey, I know I have a bit of a temper, maybe I do belong to Slytherin because of it. I try hard to not let it come through, but maybe the sorting hat knew better." Erik said with his shoulders slumped.
Erik held up his hands in surrounded. "Hey, I won't give a rebuttal. Tests can be hard, they always make me nervous too, but I guess I'm just lucky because I don't even really study, it just comes naturally." He looked at Kara slyly. "Not that I'm rubbing it in or anything."

Kara rolled her eyes. "Erik we all have tempers. If someone doesn't, then they're just weird and too perky." She replied with a laugh.
"But I doubt the Sorting Hat did it just to spite you or anything. Like you said, it could just run in your family. You're a good person and you've proved to me that not all Slytherins are scary." She replied with a smirk as she nudged his arm playfully.
She then pouted. "That's not fair, now you're just being mean. I know you're not though. Carlisle...well used to tutor me mostly in Potions. I need the most help in that class." She replied with a laugh.

Erik put his forehead on his hands, with his elbows resting on the floor. "Thanks Kara. You have no idea how much I really needed to hear something like that." He looked up and gave her a hug. "I really needed to hear that someone still things I'm a good person."
He pulled back from her and smiled at her. "Oh, I didn't say I thought you were dumb, I just know how you are. You always seem to bring yourself down. If you ever need any help, you know I'm always here to help you out."

Kara gave him a soft smiled as she felt him hugging her. She hugged him back before they both pulled away. "Well I hate to toot my own horn over here, but I don't lie to people. So trust me Erik you are a good person. If you ever need a reminder, I'll be here. Just like I know if I need a confidence boost and Ethan doesn't help, I'll turn to you. Speaking of Ethan, he wants to hang out with you sometime. He wants me to come along, but I think it might be better if I don't join you. Ethan and I don't want you to feel uncomfortable or like the third wheel. I've been there done that, it's not good." She replied with a sigh.
She gave him another sigh. "Thanks. I know I'm not that confident in myself so it's hard for me to be positive about myself. My ex-boyfriend was great about making me feel worthless. He would tell me daily how fat and ugly I was and how I was never going to have anyone else like me like he did. I think Ethan wants to beat his head into the wall after I told him that. But I know it's all false. I really do. It's just hard for me to get back into the swing of saying positive things about myself. You can ask Ethan, I pretty much question all his compliments, especially when we first met. Pretty pathetic huh?" She asked looking in the other direction and tried not to let her stupid muggle old boyfriend get her spirits down.
