[attr="class","cbody"]She didn’t know how it had started exactly. Sasha couldn’t remember every detail of the conversation and how it had led up to this, but she and Devin had decided to look for flats when they were free of Hogwarts for the Easter holidays. After graduation, Devin needed somewhere to go, after all. She knew that he didn’t want to overstay his welcome at the Audreys and that he thought they had already done more for him than they needed to. He needed a place to live and she… well, she was very ready to get out of her parents’ house.
[break][break]
There was a good chance that Devin hadn’t fully understood that until this week. He had been staying with her, with meant that he had actually gotten a chance to meet her parents and spend time with them—as much time as was possible when they were not often home, anyway. Often enough to hear her mother’s cutting remarks about her weight and everything else under the sun. She was used to it. Though she always watched her weight and had a near obsession with staying in shape and not eating too much, she had to be even stricter with herself when she was home. Her mother insisted on it. It was just the way her relationship with her had always been. Appearances mattered more to Hadley Augustine than really anything else.
[break][break]
Sasha had not expected Devin’s reactions to the remarks. She just took them in stride like she always did. She cut her portion sizes, exercised in the morning before Devin woke up, and tried to refrain from emptying the contents of her stomach in the bathroom after dinner. That had been an old habit. One that had happened on occasion before the registration but hadn’t happened since then. Obviously, her weight had not been the most important thing on her mind back then. Even if it was, she had lost enough weight during her time at Kolna that it had been one of the first things that her mother had noticed when she’d returned. Since then, she had gained a lot of it back, which Hadley had obviously noticed.
[break][break]
Still, she hadn’t expected the reaction that Devin had had. She definitely hadn’t expected him to say that they were leaving.
[break][break]
She definitely thought that Devin understood a bit more why she wanted out of her house as soon as possible. As much as she was, in some ways, very used to her parents and had nearly normalized all of their treatment, a part of her still didn’t want to deal with it anymore. Even if she and Devin had only officially gotten together in February, somehow it didn’t feel strange at all to be looking at apartments with him. It didn’t feel rushed or like they were jumping into something. It was just something that felt right.
[break][break]
Tomorrow, they would have to return to Hogwarts. They’d looked at plenty of apartments over break and the reality really hit her on just the type of apartment that they’d be able to afford. It was a far cry than what she was used to, and she was trying incredibly hard not to let that show. It wasn’t the size of the place that mattered anyway—and it would be a lot better than sleeping on the floor in Kolna. It was all a matter of perspective, wasn’t it? They hadn’t found a flat just yet, and it had already been a long day. Sasha thought they might need to call it quits pretty soon, or at least take a break. The next flat on the list was on Harbord Street, and from the outside… well, she wasn’t horribly impressed from the outside.
[break][break]
But they had just made it inside, and it wasn’t half bad. She had broken off with Devin to check out the bedroom, thinking that this was probably the best place they had seen so far. And because of that, it was probably pretty close to the higher threshold of what they could afford.
