Patricia wondered where Niccy was taking her as they got further and further from the village, she hoped Niccy would stop soon as she would get into trouble for going too far from the boundaries to which her permission slip give her. Seeing a field a head and Niccy slowing down as she eased her grasp Patricia figured that this must be where Niccy was taking her. Approaching the clear field Patricia let a small smile form on her lips, having grown up in the country side Patricia was used to scenes like this but they never ceased to amaze her, just their shear beauty was enough to take her breath away. But Patricia was still confused, why had Niccy taken her to this exact spot? There was a number of fields all equally as pretty surrounding them - and closer to the village - they also had more trees in them. Patricia noticed one standing on it's own, it was kind of sad. One tree, standing along in a big field, it made her think about how alone she was in the big world, with no one around her, to support her, to keep her company.

Turning to face Niccy as she started talking Patricia listened to her words. Patricia listened to the woman talk, wondering why she was been given a history lecture on a tree, it didn't seem that special - it was just a tree after all. As Niccy kept talking the feeling of being alone grew within the Hufflepuff teen. All the trees been knocked down made her think of everyone around her leaving her. Although Niccy's words slowly but surely began to sink in and Patricia started to realise what she was getting at. Sure her life did suck at the minute but she did have to let it go sooner or later. If Patricia was being honest with herself she hated the way she had been acting as of late and she knew her friends didn't deserve it. Although Patricia still hated having Professor Styx as her father, no one knew so she could easily pretend that everything was the way it always had been. Sure it may take her friends some convincing but they were her friends after all and that's what friends did for one an other. Looking up at Niccy Patricia smiled, a real smile this time. "Thank you." she said sweetly, tears forming in her eyes - of happiness this time - as she gave Niccy a hug. Patricia couldn't believe how one person could make such a difference in a short period of time.

Nicolette smiled down at Patricia before she wrapped her arms around the young teen and stared at her favorite tree with a nostalgic look in her eyes, the day she found this tree was like a real wake up call to her. In fact, she had found it the day she had run away from living with a man who ruined most of her life, he was the one person whom her heart would never forgive, the one person who she could allow herself to hate. He was the darkness inside her heart, and she would do anything to keep him away and protect the her life and the people who have made her the happiest she's ever been. "Your welcome Patricia." She brought a hand down to wipe the tears away from her face, sure they were happy tears. but they were gonna make Niccy feel all weepy too if she continued to see them.

"Life can be a little crazy sometimes, but whenever you need a place to think, you can always come here. My tree isn't too picky." She joked, hoping to get a laugh out of the girl. Nicolette felt productive today, even if she hadn't done her chores, she helped someone who really needed to find their way again. "Smile like you mean in deary, life will be way more fun that way." she added in quickly as she released her arms from around the girl and brought one of them up to tuck a strand of her blonde hair away from her face. Hey...you go you Hogwarts right?" She asked, remembering someone mentioning that Pat went to school there.

Patricia felt Niccy return her embrace, despite only knowing her for a short time she felt really close to her. It seemed like they had both a load in common but Patricia didn't know where that was coming from but Niccy did seem to be able to relate to her. Patricia didn't mind though, it was the first time in months where she had felt like everything was going to be OK, it felt nice to feel like it again.

Patricia let out a small laugh at Niccy's somewhat lame attempt at a joke, but she took it for what it was worth. Patricia made a mental note of where she was at right now because she would like to return here someday, maybe when everything was back to the was it's supposed to be, she could reflect on how silly she was. But also for when she was at Hogwarts she could just imagine the tree and come back whenever she wanted. A smile now pasted to her face Patricia pushed all thoughts out of her head that would make the smile disappear, from now on she was going to try and go back to the way she was. "Mhmm. Fourth Year Hufflepuff." Patricia said in reponce to Niccys question. "Why do you ask?" she asked in return. Patricia thought it would be somewhat obvious that she attended HNZ, she was in New Zealand after all and she was the right age to attend the school.

Nicolette's smile widened, she had almost figured that Patricia was older because she acted pretty mature, but then again being a Fourth Year seemed to suit her. "Your in the exact same year as Theodore and Alyssa!" Niccy exclaimed boldly, figuring that Pat might know who those two were, neither of them have really ever been the shy type. When they were around most people knew about it, especially when they were together. Even if they were a bunch of brats, they also held a strong place in Niccy's heart.

"I remembering when I went to school, that was sooooo long ago. I even went to school with your da-errr...Kalif." Nicolette cut herself off in mid-sentence. She figured that Pat wouldn't really want him to be mentioned as father, so she stopped herself. Nicolette had gone to school with him though, she only managed to remember a short time ago when going through one of her old yearbooks.

Patricia waited to hear why Nicolette wanted to know why she attended Hogwarts, it probably was nothing but at least it was a way to carry on the conversation. Niccy was really nice and Patricia liked talking to her, so she was happy to cover any topic that she brought up, except Kalif – they already discussed that enough. But what she heard Niccy say was so unexpected that Patricia thought she mis-heard her at first. “How do you know the Snows?” she asked perplexed. Although Patricia couldn’t really say she knew them either. Alyssa was nice enough and the two girls got on. But Theodore was a completely different kettle of fish. Patricia never really liked Theodore after what happened in first year, he was so mean to her and the only one she hadn’t patched things up with – and she didn’t want to either.

Patricia began to laugh as Niccy started to talk about when she went to school. Patricia found it strange that, unlike most adults, she emphasied that it was a long time ago, most tried to hide their age. Although, observing Niccy, she didn’t seem that old at all – early 30s at least. Patricia cringed instantiously when she mentioned she went to school with Kalif. Even before Niccy had corrected herself and said Kalif, Patricia knew what she meant, What the hell? she thought to herself. How could she be used to Kalif Styx being her father that she would respond to it? “Small world huh?” Patricia said trying to not linger on the subject too long.

Judging by almost obvious Patricia's reaction, she definitely knew the Snow twins. She often like to make sure those two were doing alright, especially with their father making it incredibly hard for her to see them now. Looking down at Pat she grinned and rubbed the back of her head softly. "I've know Teddy and Aly since they were babies. I've been around them for awhile because I've known their father pretty much his whole life." Nicolette almost snickered at the memories she had with Alphonse. When they were younger she used to bully him all the time, now she really couldn't do that with him, he was much bigger and stronger that he was when he was younger. "I adore the Snow twins, Alyssa is so sweet and Teddy...well he's not so friendly but I don't really blame him. His father puts too much pressure on his shoulders." Honestly, Theodore was too young for the kinds of things Alphonse expected him to handle, and one day that boy is gonna crack and cause an awful lot of issues for everyone. In fact, most teens these days had too much to handle, no wonder most of them were moody as hell.

"Are you doing well in school? Have any preferred classes?" Nicolette vaguely wondered. Patricia seemed smart and probably excelled at many classes.

Patricia was surprised when Niccy said she had known the Snow twins since they were babies. “It really is small world then, huh?” Patricia repeated her words. But this fact didn't bug Patricia, she barely knew the twins despite being in their year - she would just about call Alyssa her friend, but nothing more. Patricia nodded her head in agreement when she talked about Alyssa and Theodore, scoffing lightly at how she paused before describing Theodore. She didn't know about their personal life, at all, so when Niccy mentioned how their father put a lot of pressure of Theodores' shoulders, she felt sorry for him – a basic instinct when she heard about people's hard times.

When Niccy asked Patricia about school the Hufflepuff teen shrugged her shoulders. “I do well in school, pretty much a straight 'O' student since first year.” she said, rather proud of that fact. When asked about her preferred classes she thought a moment. She always found this a hard question to answer. She loved all her classes – sure some more than others – but she did find it hard to choose an absolute favourite. “Umm, I love all my classes, each have their own good and bad points I suppose.” she said rather vaguley. “History of Magic, Astronomy, Arithmancy are all amazing classes. Oddly enough, I have a good knack for Herbology, believe it or not.” she said, finding the irony in that fact now.

Patricia sounded like she did extremely well in school, in fact Nicolette was slightly astounded at how well this girl seemed to be handling herself in school. If she didn't make Head Girl or at least Prefect sometime within her time than Niccy would seriously wonder who lacked in that judgment. When Patricia stated that she seemed to have a knack for Herbology, that was sure irony right there. "That is ironic." Nicolette stated and put her hands on her hips as she thought about it. Although she wouldn't say anything, she already noticed a few things that were similar between Pat and her father.

"I was pretty good in school. Got O's in pretty much everything except History of Magic and Arithmancy." Nicolette always remembered History of Magic to be awful boring, so thats possibly why she ended up getting an EE in that class. And Arithmancy just ended up flying over her head, she could never quite grasp it. "I however have knack for Herbology and even more of a knack in Transfiguration." Nicolette twirled a strand of hair around her finger as she spoke. Many people didn't know she was an Animagus, or how skilled she was in that subject, it was often quite entertaining to see their reactions. However she wasn't really sure if Pat really cared about that class as much as she had when she was younger and instead shrugged it off. "Ten bucks says you'll at least make Prefect next year." She said knowingly.

Patricia shook her head when Niccy spoke the exact words she was thinking at that moment. Life was getting too confusing for the Hufflepuff teen, but she was going to try and not let it bother as much any more, she was young and had to focus on having fun - like the Halloween Ball that was coming up, she still had to figure out an outfit. She's need to get a start on that, and soon. Patricia fell off her train of thought when Niccy started talking about when she was in school, Patricia had never really heard any adults talking about their school - well wizarding adults anyway.

Patricia laughed softly when her own strengths turned out to be Niccy's weaknesses. But she was a bit surprised when it both turned out they were good at Herbology, "Was he any good at Herbology?" Patricia asked, surprising herself by the question, why did she care? At Niccy's next comment Patricia looked up at her with a bright smile on her face. "You have no idea how much I want to be a Prefect. I don't know why, but it's something I've aimed for since first year." she said with a laugh, she had never told anyone her secret of wanting to be a Prefect, not that it was a secret per-say, just something she preferred to keep to herself - she knew how goodie - goodies always got teased, one of the reasons she never really liked her muggle primary school.

Nicolette rolled her eyes when she asked if her dad was any good at Herbology, she may have been a year lower than him, but she remembered quite clearly that he was pretty much brilliant at anything he did. "Tch, he was good at anything he did." She shrugged her shoulders, she wasn't too bummed about it because there was one thing she could do that barely anyone ever had the chance to learn. That made her fell proud about herself for learning it and being one of those special people in the world that had a rarely ability. "But I can turn into an Animagus, do I suppose to get kudos for that." She said out loud as she rested her hands on her hips one more.

"Any boys you fancy yet?" Niccy knew she was being awful nosy, but it was fun to hea about other's lives. It made her feel less alone then she often did.

Except being a father Patricia thought coldly to herself when Niccy commented on how Kalif was good at anything he did, but Patricia didn't let on. Except she just nodded her head and wanted to move of that topic again. Why did I bring it up on the first place? she thought to herself, it was never going to be an easy topic for the Hufflepuff. Patricia's mouth formed a small 'O', her eyes full of excitement, as Niccy said she could turn into an Animagus. "Oh my word! Really?' Patricia said excitedly. "That is so cool. I'm jealous. Major kudos for that! Was it hard to learn? What it's like? Transforming I mean. Oh what form do you take?' Patricia blabbered, question after question, she had to to stop herself, blushing slightly she give a tiny giggle and waited for Niccy to reply. "Hehe, sorry. I just want to be an Animagus sooo badly." she said.

Patricia rolled her eyes when Niccy as about boys. She once thought she liked Jude and maybe she did, but he was in Durmstrang, too far away, despite her feelings she knew it wouldn't work. "No!" she said simply. Her eyes shot down to Niccy hands, seeing no ring she looked up again with a smirk, "You?"

Nicolette's golden eyes widened greatly when she was bombarded with questions from the young Hufflepuff. Apparently this young girl was more into Transfiguration than she was give credit for. When Patricia had asked what her form looked like and what it felt like, Nicolette giggled softly. "It'll be a lot easier to show you than to tell you." She said softly before she wiggled her fingers and got into that mode of concentration that she always needed before she transformed into her Animagus form. Within seconds she had turned from her tall blonde human form to a small white house cat within seconds. Turning to face Patricia she looked up at her with her golden cat-like eyes before she newed softly. A second later Nicolette had transformed back into her normal human form and smiled down at Pat. "It took me so many years to learn how to do that." She would admit that it was hard work to learn this, but with a driven mind and a strong heart anything was possible.

"I used to also be a healer at St. Mungos for almost fourteen years." Healing was another one of Nicolette's strong points. She had learned it for an awful reason, but ended up putting it to a very good use though. Just recently she had even been thinking about returning there someday. Catching Pat's tone when she said no about boys she shook her head softly before she giggled. "You'll find yourself a nice boy someday don't worry. As for me, eh I haven't found the 'one' yet. But I'm still looking." She shrugged her shoulders.

Patricia's eyes widened with excitement as Niccy explained it would be easier for her to show rather than tell. Patricia stepped back slightly as Niccy prepared herself, her mind going into overdrive - trying to think about what form Niccy would take. Patricia kept her own brown eyes on Niccy gold ones all the time until the weren't there any more. Looking down at her feet Patricia squeed with excitement observing Niccy in her Animagus form. She looked so cute! Patricia wondered what form she would take if she ever were to become an animagus, seeing Niccy wanted her to be one even more.

After a short period of time passed Patricia watched Niccy transform back into her human self. "That was bloody amazing Niccy!" Patricia exclaimed, grimacing slightly as she informed her of how long it took her, no matter how long Patricia would become an animagus, or at least try. When Niccy mentioned she was also a healer Patricia let out a small, "Wow" Niccy's attributes never seemed to cease. "You're so lucky. I never thought about Healing before, but it must be a useful thing. I mean to even know a few simple healing spells would be great for everyday things." Patricia rambled.

Patricia shurgged her shoulders lightly, she really didn't care about boys at the moment, she was only 14 for crying out loud. Plus she had let herself fall to easily and to quickly for Jude, yes they liked each other but it couldn't be anything more than that - it was just difficult. "Thanks. I hope so." Patricia replied, she may not care about it now, but one day she would like to meet a boy. Patricia 'aww'ed lightly when Niccy said she was still looking. "Your day will come too." Patricia said encouragingly, there was someone out there for everyone and Patricia believed that. "Just need to look harder that's all." she said with a light laugh.

Patricia seemed really interested in both healing and becoming an Animagus, which was actually quite amusing to Nicolette. Many people around her age didn't really care much about school like that. Usually it was about boys, clothes, or other weird teenager stuff. This kid had more potential than she had thought. "Hmm Healing does come in handy, I could teach you some basic healing properties sometime if you'd like." She would offer to teach some transfiguration, but that was much harder to grasp onto then Healing usually was.

Patricia's eyes widened at Niccys proposal to teach her some basic healing properties. She felt like jumping and/or squeeling with joy, she loved how today started off another horrible day but had turned into one of the best days. She never knew one person could cheer her up so much. Hearing the big clock in Brightstone chiming she frowned. "Aw Niccy that would be amazing, but it's getting late and we have curfew back at the school." she said, her instints making her look back at the school. "Maybe I could write to you and we can meet up next Brightstone weekend?" she asked, hoping she wouldn't mind, Niccy was by far some of the best company she's had in a long time.
