Hey Sister, Sister (Nevena)

[Deleted]

From the start of her first year, there were many things that Raina was thankful for and many more that she was overwhelmed by. For several of those things - they kind of linked up, but the biggest one was her sister Nevena. Nevena was the closest to Raina in age growing up which gave them a special bond, both of them understood what it was like - having that feeling of being stuck in a siblings shadow, although Raina knew it sometimes seemed to bother Nevena more than it did herself. It did sometimes weigh heavy on Raina's shoulders - mostly when it came to school. But Raina had her music - her special thing, her escape at times. Still, sometimes her escape didn't need to be through music, her siblings certainly were very helpful with that and they would always be there for her.

At least, that is what Raina firmly believed. She loved her siblings, even if she at times was closer to Irina - she adored Nevena just as much. After last year in particular - she was immensely thankful to have Nevena so close. At the beginning of this year, she had experienced her doubts in even returning to Hogwarts after what happened the previous year - but it had been partly thanks to Nevena that she had pulled every single drop of courage she could together and climbed onto the train at the beginning of the year. Knowing that Nevena would be there in the same house - just a little away from her each night. No matter what could have happened, she knew in her heart that Nevena would make sure she would be okay.

Now though, now Raina found herself heading down to the common room in search of her sister, her Fifth year was almost over - and her sisters Sixth was coming to a close. As a kind of rebellion to the changes going on - which Raina was completely struggling with, she had gone through a few charms and spelled her hair. Now she wanted to get her sisters reaction to it - and maybe, if she could - drag her sister away for some quality time.

Nevena was in the common room by herself drawing in her sketch pad. This were moments that she loved and cherished. When she didn’t have to go hide to seek sanctuary for her sketching. She hated having to leave where she was just to get some peace. She sat in one of the armchairs sketching the fireplace. She loved drawing it and drawing it several different ways. She was there for a good time with no one coming or going. She was surprised by this wondering why no one was coming into the common room. She figured they must have found something exciting to do so they would have to stay out of the common room. Right when she wondered how long this would last, her baby sister comes into the common room. If anyone should come in there and Nevena to stay where she was it would be her sister. She loved Raina and they connected very well. Plus she was her baby sister what was not to love. She didn’t notice it at first but something just hit her and she looked back at her sister seeing her hair. You did something new she asked her sister knowing it had to do something with her hair.

It hadn't taken Raina long at all to track down her sister, today it seemed like most of the students just wanted to not be stuck inside, and those that didn't mind it - well, the library was where they were. Most likely doing some more revising for the exams coming up. As much as Raina was feeling conflicted about the end of the year she could honestly say she was going to be more than relieved when OWLs were over with, she was just hoping she would be able to at least get a pass in the Potions part of it. The thought made her quickly shake her head, her blue strands of hair falling into her face at the action, no - for now she wanted to have some fun and spend some time with her sister, worrying could be done later instead. She gave a quick sigh and stepped into the Hufflepuff Common room, her eyes instantly finding her sister curled up on one of the more comfortable Armchairs.

Raina smiled, shaking her head slightly - it was no surprise that her sister was sitting with one of her sketch pads, sketching away. Although she did wonder what the subject was this time - maybe if she was lucky, Nevena would show off some of her newer sketches - she always loved seeing what her sister came up with. "Nevie!", the younger of the two happily called out, her eyes lighting up as she was spotted by her sister. She almost skipped over, leaning against the back of the chair, slightly over her sister. Watching her older sisters reaction to her new hair colour was a little amusing and Raina let out a small laugh, her own face lighting up as her hand reaches towards her hair, "Do you like it? I thought it might be a fun change." Ahh yes, changes. One of the top things that Raina absolutely didn't like. She never handled them well, and she clung to what was more familiar.

Even though exams were on their way, Nevena didn’t need to study. She did pretty well from what she remembered from classes without having to do any extra work. When her sister came in Nevena was shocked by her appearance. Her sister had blue in her hair. Nevena looked at her sister wondering what prompted the change in her appearance. Her sister had asked her if she liked it. She smiled a little and said yes, I do but what’s the change for. You hate changing things.] Nevena held her sketch book close to her waiting for her sister to answer the question. She motioned to one of the many armchairs near them. You should take a seat Raina she said. Nevena hated people standing over her staring over her shoulder. She loved her family but she even couldn’t stand it when they did it. So how are your classes going Raina she asked her sister wondering about the young girls’ academics. She knew her sister was doing well with her music like Nevena was with her art. Raina always had trouble with one class in particular, potions. She was wondering if there was anything that she could do to help the young girl out, but she needed to know if Raina actually needed her help this time, or if her sister had this under control.

For the most part, Raina was feeling pretty confident with what she had needed to study and what she was feeling okay with. OWLs were important, she knew that - but really she usually did pretty okay with her classes and homework. Except for one subject - that subject she had been getting some help with though. For now though she was trying to focus away from those stresses and instead enjoy some quiet company with her older sister. The younger of the two gave a wide happy smile, moving to sit down as close to her sister as she could when the chance was offered - easily tucking her feet up under herself as she gives a small shrug, deciding to be more honest as she answered the previous question - she knew her sister would understand a little, and if she didn't really 'get it' - at least Nevena wouldn't judge her.

"Partly I was curious how it'd look - mostly... mostly I wanted some kind of change that I could control." The words came out softly, almost whispering the last part as she gives a half smile to her sister, "Everything else is changing around me - and I can't stop that, but my hair - I can control if I change the colour you know?" To most it might sound a little odd, others - they would understand. For Raina though, it made sense.. in all the chaos of changes going on, she had this one piece of control and it made her feel better. Plus she really liked her hair like this - it was fun and a little quirky, just like she was.

As her sister asks about classes, Raina instantly gives a small groan - shaking her head before sighing and leaning back, "Well - they are okay, I'm mostly doing alright - a little trouble with Potions and revising for my OWLs with that same subject." She pauses and looks back at Nevena, "I'm getting a little help with that though - I tried it on my own.. and well.." there was a hint of a blush on the younger girls face, "I kinda am gonna need a new Cauldron."
