"You're mother is just trying to do whats best for you, 'Ina."
"If she cares so much, she should keep me in this country. I've seen her once since she left and now she wants to be close to me?" Karina, a thirteen-year old girl, looked at her father, exasperated. She was average height for her age with dark brown hair that reached past her shoulder blades. She had seafoam green eyes, light olive skin and defined cheek bones. Her eyes narrowed as her lips curled into a sneer. "Oh Kariiiina," she began mocking her mothers English accent. "come to Britain Kariiiina. You'll love it here, love. I left you when you were 6 and never looked back." the accent faded and her own voice took charge at the end of the sentence. A concoction of disgust and rage tainting her voice. Her father was a tall man by the name of Totum. He bore heavy cheek bones as well, but lacked the more causaian characteristics of his daughter.

"'Ina." He began, leaving her desk's chair and taking a seat at the end of her bed. Karina quickly shuffled away from her father, and huddled herself at the opposite side of the bed, knees pulled to her chest. He frowned at her reaction but continued. "I know you mom-"

"Mother." Karina hissed, interrupting him.

"Yes, well, I know Krehea hurt you after our divorce but she has a right to have a say in your education. And I agree with her on this decision. Hogwarts is a great school – one of the best. You'll be learning under Albus Dumbledore, one of the greatest wizards I've ever met." Her fathers voice was cool as he attempted to persuaded her.

"The school isn't my problem, Dad. It's her. I don't want to live with her. She's evil– ".

"Don't talk about your mother like that. She's not evil!" Totum snapped standing up. "And you can stay at Hogwarts for the Holidays, the same as Nurse." His lips pressed together tightly and Karina could see he was done with their discussion. "You're sending your owl tomorrow." He managed as his face began to redden before he left the room. Karina frowned as her father made his leave, and slumped over on her bed and grabbed hold of her pillow, wrapping herself around it. Her eyes looked to her owl cage on the other side of her room where Kapir, her Saw-whet Owl, was sat.

"Kapir." She called. The owl turned its head to her and gave a click of acknowledgment. "I hope you fall into the ocean." Said Karina, plainly. Kapir puffed his chest and shook himself violently, unhappy with her. He gave a few more clicks and a hoot before turning away from her, his feathers still puffed.
