when I felt safe in school
@clio
Kit often came to the charms classroom when he wanted to be alone with his thoughts. When his father was alive and things with Gen were a mess, this had always been his safe place. Samuel had been his safe place and now, out of school that continued to a whole new level. Kit had finally learnt what it was like to be part of a functional and loving family. He had a brother he adored, a sibling on the way and adoptive parents who he respected greatly; Merlin his mother had even killed for him. No one had ever done that for him before, he just wished that he could feel as safe in the school now as he did when he was at home. Sure, Headmaster Flint had stepped down and there were no longer people of risk teaching them, but he was still suitably wary. There was nothing to say it wouldn't definitely change at the drop of a hat if things didn't go in the favour of others. That wasn't to say things weren't looking up in their world, it was; but there was still a noticeable rift between some people, those too proud to admit they needed help with their lack of magic and those who were too terrified of what might happen to them if they offered help.
It was all a mess, but Kit tried not to dwell on it too much, he was at school. He should be focusing on passing his exams and getting into university. He just hoped that now the initial flu had passed, he was safe from losing his magic. There seemed to be something preventing the student body from losing their magic and getting sick, of course, that was a good thing. It wouldn't be much of a school if the students weren't capable of learning their magic. He was glad that the muggleborns were back at school, he'd never been particularly fond of the segregation that had gone on. Admittedly, if he'd still be under his father's care he would have probably encouraged it and could very well walk the school halls giving the Muggleborns hell, but he was better than that. Samuel had taught him a lot during the lockdown and Kit had realised just how messed up a lot of things had become. Sure, he hadn't hated muggleborns before the lockdown, but he hadn't been overly thrilled to be around them, it had taken a lot of time to start down this new path and he was determined not to let himself stray and end up like Phineas. If anyone, he wanted to end up like Samuel, everything he did now was to make his adoptive father proud.
Kit circled the classroom, taking time to think about how different his life was now, how it finally seemed to be on the up, he was married to Gen. They were happy and what they'd fought for, for nearly three years, was now a distant, (bad) memory. Samuel and Calli loved him and he loved them, but he loved his baby brother more. He'd never thought he'd enjoy being around kids but his brother had a way about him that made even the most nervous of people dote on him. Maybe, in a few years he'd have his own child to raise and love but right now he needed to make sure he did the best he could in his studies and his wishes for joining the potioneering career.
The sound of footsteps out in the hallway tore Kit from his thoughts and he glanced to the door as a girl walked in, he recognised her; he hadn't spoken to her much but enough to know her name, he wondered what Clio was doing here, she seemed to have a purpose and his curiosity was getting the better of him. "The Professor isn't here if you're looking for them." He said to Clio as a way of greeting, he couldn't think of any reason she'd be in this classroom other than that.
