Ruhe looked down. "Daaaaamn. And I thought MY family was screwed up." She shot her head up. "No offense to you, of course. You seem normal as it gets around here." Ruhe gave a tense smile. "Those Death Eater- erm- "jerks"... killed my Aunt and Uncle. They were in the Order of the Pheonix." Her face turned apologetic. "Sorry. I get rather emotional when I speak of those times."

"I suppose normal isn't really a common thing around her." She said whipping away the last of the tears it felt good to get it off her chest. "I know, the memories from those times aren't exactly something a person wants to relive." She said.

Ruhe nodded her head in a toss. "Yeah. I can- relate...?" Her head felt wrong. It was... lighter. "Oh no..." Ruhe put her hands up to her head and felt a mass of curls down to her shoulders. She pulled a strand over in front of her face and it was midnight purple.

Chloe tried to stifle some laughter, trying not to let it all come out. She knew that it was probably annoying to have that happen all the time but the Slytherin in her couldn't help but laugh. "That's got to be a real pain." She said inbetween little laughs.

Ruhe sighed. Then she felt her eyes go purple also. She giggled. "My mother told me this would happen as I got older. Ugh. Sometimes I envy Muggle girls. All THEY have to worry about when they grow up are their periods!" Ruhe felt the atmosphere grow lighter as she and Chloe began to laugh together.

Chloe laughed at the last sentence. "I don't think I could imagine being a muggle." She scrunched her nose when she said muggle. "Then can be so . . . " She stopped not being able to think of a good word to describe them.

"Tedious? Commonplace? Whiney?" Ruhe took wild guesses at what the older girl was trying to say. "Ah! I know! Incapable of solving problems themselves!"

"I remember my father would spend HOURS trying to fix something that had broken! Then my mother would ask for a try at it... One moment behind whatever was broken and Presto! Good as new!" Ruhe smiled at the memories.

"Along the lines of those words" She said "Yep everythings so much easier with magic." she said with asmile as Trixie jumped up on her lap begging to be pet. Chloe began to stroke the cats silky black fur.

Ruhe smiled contentedly. Then her eyes changed yellow with curiousity. "So.. I'm positively dying to know..." She said dramatically. "What exactly WAS your first magic?"

"Well" She started "See I have three brothers who love rough housing and playing quidditch. One day while they were messing around with the bludgers the two eldest got in a bit of an argument which soon turned physical." He paused "The middle aged of the three got hit with the bludger straight in the forehead." SHe said laughing at the memory "Well my mum was so upset she didn't know what to do. I was 6 I think, so I came running outside curious to the commotion. I saw my brother out cold on the ground with a bloody nose. I pushed past everyone and placed my hand on his nose." She stopped briefly for a breath. "I still don't know why I did but as soon as my hand touched him the bleeding stopped, the nose was no longer broken and he was fully conscience." She said proudly. "I have a minor healing power."

"Cool. Do you know how powerful it gets? Ruhe smiled. "But wait... How's my hair now?" She winked, her smile widening to a grin.

"Your hairs fine" She said adding "for now." with a sly smile. "No, I'm not quite sure how powerful. My mum wasn't able to find anyone of my living family memebers that have it, so I'm pretty much on my own with it."

Ruhe nodded. "My mum's the only one in my family *still alive that is* who Shapeshifts. The rest have all died of old age or been killed." Ruhe tossed her head again. "I guess that's just the way things go." All of a sudden a look of thoughtfulness came over her face. "Say, do you know how far away we are from Hogwarts?"

"You know now that you mention it. . . " She trailed off slightly for a moment. "Shouldn't we be arriving soon?" she asked with a expression that showed she was thinking.
