Sumire hadn’t been sure what she wanted to do just yet after Hogwarts. The whole Veela thing was a huge wrench in her plans. Knowing that someone, somewhere out there was made for her was a big deal. Not to mention being a Veela meant having certain ‘charms’ that would indefinitely entice people until she met said mate. Well, even after mated she’d still be alluring but with not quite a strong enough pull as being unmated. Just thinking these terms made her cringe, made her feel like an animal rather than a person. It would be a huge distraction unfortunately too in the career she’d wanted to desperately to have since she was younger.
She wanted to be a full-time actress, but that could never happen now. She’d steal the stage and upstage everyone in any scene she appeared in even if she wasn’t the lead. That’s not how acting works; she had a code of ethics that she followed when it came to theatrical life and she couldn’t stand to break it now. Over the past months she’d been doing intensive research on Veela and the heritage she was inheriting. She knew that at 16 she’d undergo a strong transformation in which her entire body would shift from human into Veela; being half and quarter meant undergoing this transformation.
It was to last for ‘four moons and four suns’ and said to be extremely painful. Just the idea made her cringe again as she bit her lower lip. In her arms she had a bundle of gifts - err more like a care package. She’d heard about what happened at the attack, despite being busy doing her best to save the First Years and was utterly intrigued.
Adaline Harris, she thought once she heard about what happened, you are the bravest of souls. In her care package she had baby clothes, a lot of them (both boy and girl), and books, children’s books, and little trinkets for when teething came in. In her arms the bundle felt like five pounds at the very least, but Sumire didn’t care.
“Hello,” she said as she approached the bed where the Healer had directed her to, “I-I’m Sumire. I don’t believe we’ve met before but I- I uh, I just wanted to see how you were.”
