Out of Character: - Set on Y48 Holiday Break
Eurydice had been a Nightray heir for as long as she could remember. She'd always known what it meant, and though she knew she would never be Head of the Nightray Family, never aspired to be one, as one of the heirs, it was her responsibility to make sure that whoever does end up Head deserved it. Growing up, she'd always thought it was going to be Jai-nii. And then he'd backed down. And while she had been younger when it happened just a few years ago, she had been old enough and aware enough to notice a shift. She wouldn't be able to explain what it was, just that there was something different. It wasn't just the adults, really, because even those in her generation, her cousins and her brothers, there was... there was a change. Eurydice had always known that she was never meant to be the Head, but for those who desired to be, she had a responsibility to decide and fight by any means available to her if she ever thought them unworthy to lead. And now, three semesters into her stay at Hogwarts, she didn't think she was any more fit as an heir as she was to be the Head.
It had taken only three encounters with Slytherins to make Eurydice realize that she was never going to be fit to be an heir. She cowers at the thought of snakes, could not even bear to look at one since that day Morrie set a snake on her. She flinches when someone even dares to come near. She couldn't even protect her own belongings, the gift that Tizi-nii had given her. And then the slug incident. It was shameful for the Nightrays to have an heir as weak as her. As scared as her. She'd told herself multiple times that should she be challenged, it would be her that would decide the challenges. It would be her call, and she can choose a challenge that could play to her strengths or her opponent's weaknesses. These days, she couldn't even stand a wand pointed at her. What use would she be as an heir? She'd only disappoint her parents. Embarrass them. Embarrass her siblings. And yet, she couldn't find the courage within her to even go to her mum or her dad - even when all she wanted was to be with them when she was at the Hospital Wing. She didn't want to tell Annika, scared that her sister would find her lacking. She didn't want to tell Kael-nii, scared he would be angry and disgusted with her weakness. She didn't want to tell Jai-nii either; she didn't want to bother him and Elsa and their happy family. The only one she wanted to tell Tizi-nii. He said he'd beat people up for her, be a professor for her, and up until recently, he hadn't been interested in being an heir. So... it was him that she hoped would understand. That wouldn't judge her for being the coward that she was. And so it was his bedroom that she was hesitantly knocking at now in the middle of the night.
