Closed for once, just let go

[Hinata Edogawa]

Whether this was one of Hinata's better or worse ideas was quite debatable. She supposed she should take comfort in the fact that there weren't three of them today. Ever since she'd told Mikael that she was entertaining - not deciding, or considering, merely entertaining - the idea of quite impossibly being an Auror, her cousin had been on the warpath. Last year, when the triplets and Sayuri entered Hogwarts, she'd told herself that she wanted to be someone her younger siblings could look up to. Being an all-P student wasn't exactly worth looking up to. And so, she'd thrown herself to her studies with a vigor that had not been there before, wherein it showed that she wasn't exactly as hopeless as she'd thought herself to be. It opened doors for her to consider, and she did not expect the sudden interest in pursuing a career relating to Defense. When she'd told Mikael about it, he told her, quite harshly, to not even bother considering the career until she'd gotten her duelling up to par. And by par, he meant that she hold her ground - at the minimum - in the Duelling Tournament. He'd helped her train of course, and while she knew that her cousin wasn't who he liked to portray - he sure was mean with a wand. And then he'd brought along Horror and Terror in on the fun. Practice with them did have it's results in the form of her actually winning the tournament for her year. And because Mikael was a mean... cousin... he said that he would accept her decision after seeing her performance for this year's Duelling Tournament. Again. Mean. Which is how it led to this, her panting as she held her wand standing across Horror for their regular duelling practice. Or as she liked to call it, her regularly scheduled beatdown.​
