The next morning was not exactly what you call a good one.
"You haven't said much this morning Lexi, what's up?"
"I'm fine Ron"
"You normally say that when there's something wrong"
"I had an argument with Charlotte last night"
"Is that why Charlotte's in a mood?"
"Yeah"
"If it's really bothering you Lex why don't you go talk to her"
"I'm not talking to her Harry"
"It's wasn't a normal sibling argument, was it?"
"No it wasn't, Hermione can confirm that"
"Why's that?"
"It happened in the girls dormitory Ron"
"That makes sense"
After breakfast we all obviously went to our lessons, we went on with our day as per usual, it wasn't until our lessons for the day were over that Charlotte tried talking to me.
"Lexi!, can we talk?"
"I don't want to"
"But we need to talk about last night"
"Do we?"
"Yes we do"
"You said what you thought last night, I'm not talking, goodbye Charlotte"
A few days later I still wasn't talking to Charlotte, yes I'm that stubborn, since we hadn't been talking for a while, school decided to step in.
"Miss Smyth, your sister informed me that you aren't speaking to her and haven't for a few days, is that true?"
"Yes Professor McGonagal"
"Is it because of the incident that occurred between you?"
"Yes Professor"
"Are you ready to talk to her again Miss Smyth?"
"Not particularly Professor"
"Do you not think that your sister feels hurt"
"Oh she probably does but I'd rather not be told that I'm like someone who kicked out an eleven year old because of something that they couldn't help"
"You mean your Grandmother"
"Yes Professor, it wasn't even like I was being mean to Charlotte, I mean for Merlin's sake I was being sisterly and I bloody hate being sisterly but I was because Charlotte needed me to be sisterly but look at how that turned out"
"Maybe she didn't want you to be sisterly"
"She came to my bloody dorm"
"I get it but you can't be mad at her forever"
"I could bloody try Professor"
"I know you could but I don't think that your Father would want you to do that"
"Dad didn't want us to go to Hogwarts, he ran from the Wizarding world when our Mum died, we didn't even know if Dad had siblings before we went to Hogwarts, the man has done some pretty stupid things in his time Professor"
"That he has Miss Smyth, that doesn't mean you should go and make the same mistakes"
"I don't want to but I don't know if Charlotte's actually sorry or if she's pulling a fast one, to be honest with you Professor I wouldn't put it past her"
"At least talk to your sister, nobody said that you have to forgive her, don't tell anyone I said that"
"I'll talk to her if you're there"
"That's seems fair"
So then Charlotte came in and, you know, life happened.
"Lexi!, are you going to talking to me now?"
"Miss Smyth, your sister wants to know if you're going to mean your apology to her"
"Of course I will, why would I do anything else?"
"I told you she'll play the victim Professor"
"I'm not playing the victim"
"Ok"
"You're not seeing it from my point of view"
"Oh, though you insulted me and now acting as though you're the victim, I should just accept it even though I only did what you came to my dorm for, double standards much!"
"That's not what I meant"
"Sure, just like when you me that I'm like someone who kicked their child out because of something that they couldn't help, best compliment ever"
"Why are you always sarcastic when you're angry?"
"Would you want me to punch you?, it's either sarcasm or punching you"
"Why are you so mean Lexi?"
"Professor, this isn't working, she's just proving my point, I'm just so sorry that we've wasted your time, I'm going to the great hall to have dinner and then go to bed"
"Then I'll have to inform your Father Miss Smyth"
"Can you tell him that I actually tried but that I can't accept an apology that isn't meant"
"I think that's a fair thing to pass on Miss Smyth"
"Thank you Professor, I appreciate it"
So I went to the great hall to have dinner, I probably looked pretty pissed off.
"Lexi, what happened?"
"Well Hermione, my sister told Professor McGonagal about the fact I wasn't talking to her, so then I had to listen to Charlotte try to bullshit Professor McGonagal but that backfired on her, now Professor McGonagal is getting Dad involved, but I don't know what that's going to help"
"Bloody Hell"
"You know what, you have the ability to say 'Bloody Hell' for every occasion, that's pretty impressive, Ronnie dearest"
"(Laughs), I try Lexa, I try"
