Adelle waited tensely for Katrina's response. She watched as she made her way to the painting, and it seemed painstakingly slow. It was like watching something terrible in slow motion, and you just wanted to get it over with. After an eternity, Katrina arrived at the easel.
Unexpectedly, Katrina cast Lumos Maxima, instantly blinding Adelle. She blinked furiously, urging her eyes to adjust to the new found brightness. Slowly, her eyes focused and she no longer saw blurred shadows, but crisp, vivid images. She was also now capable of seeing her own painting; this scared her. Adelle was critical of herself; if she wasn't she'd never improve. "It's horrible, she'll hate it," was the phrase being replayed in her head like a broken cassette.
When Katrina whistled, Adelle's stomach knots tightened ten-fold, and it seemed the butterflies were just begging to enter. As if to purposely torture Adelle, Katrina turned ever so slowly. But when Katrina's face was finally visible to her, it was smiling. "I think it's brillian'." she said, glancing from Adelle to the landscape. "I mean, for it not to be done yet... well, I'm sure it'll look great when it's done." Adelle exhaled dramatically. The butterflies that were plaguing her were replaced with the feeling of elation. "Really?" she asked happily. She honestly couldn't believe this, since she'd been expecting something along the lines of, "Don't quit your day job."
Adelle's new disposition was completely opposite from her previous one. What Katrina had said instantly softened her bitterness. Whether she'd stay that way had yet to be seen.

katrina vanessathe lights on off in my mind kat nodded enthusiastically, "really." and that was truthful. especially since kat was a terrible liar... "i know i could never do that... i mean, you probably practiced for years.." she said admiringly, gesturing to the painting and then to the forest. the only times katrina had ever tried painting something was when she was about six and she had stolen her mothers wand and gone on a rampage around the house with it. drawing on the walls. for some reason, it came out as marker even if she was drawing with the tip of the wand. kat had always loved that small bit of magic... and her mother had even left a small area of the wall with all those drawings of hers.
kat cocked her head at adelle and finally began to speak her thoughts, "have you ever tried a self portrait?" she asked her, thinking that it probably would have turned out beautiful had she made one. and in the hands of a skilled hand, adelle would look amazing on paper. kat couldn't help but wonder what adelle would do if she hadn't come to hogwarts. not in a bad way though. just, if she were a painter in the muggle world, what would she do? would she become a mini-celebrity for her work? kat mused the idea and smiled to herself. however if kat were let out into the muggle world with no knowledge of magic, she would have no idea what she'd do... let alone how she'd spend her life.
after a few moments of silence kat muttered, "you're very talented, you know." and shot adelle a small grin.

It felt good, having her art being appreciated and all. It had been awhile since anyone had seen some of her paintings; well, anyone who mattered that is. Sure her friends had seen her work, but they were obligated to love them. Not like Katrina, who had every right to hate her. She was a nice girl, that Katrina. Adelle actually admired her for being so patient with her. If she had been in her place, Adelle would've kicked their ass by now.
"Have you ever tried a self portrait?" Katrina chimed. Truthfully, Adelle hadn't, and she had no desire to attempt one. "You're very talented, you know." Katrina added, grinning. Adelle smiled slightly, her face was somber though. "Thank you, really. But I don't think I'm ever going to do a self-portrait," Adelle shifted her gaze to the canopy above, trying to make out the starts in the night sky.

katrina vanessathe lights on off in my mind kat cocked her head and shrugged it off. it was her choice, really. choosing whether or not to do a self portrait was up to her and katrina had no right to around making her do things and all that bossy stuff. even if kat was a prefect, so was adelle. so she had no right to go nosying around that part of life. meanwhile, she tucked her hair behind her ears and sighed. she pulled her wand out of her bun and redid her hair with it, making sure all her bangs were out of her face and kind of... magically glued to the bun behind her.
kat smiled sheepishly, "well, if you ever want to... send me an owl. i'd love to see it... that is.. if you ever decide to." she added again, nervously fiddling with the wand her in hand. after a few moments of twirling it around in her fingers, it shot out red sparks and almost hit one of the tree's. katrina blushed furiously and stuffed her wand away, hoping not to injure anyone in the process of toying with magical objects.
