ELENA THROPP; CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT

“Wow, kind of crazy what people will do in order to get their fifteen minutes. Or just stupid.” He commented, thinking over the ridiculous people were. “I’d think most of the people in this town would be too humble for anything like that.” 

“It’s sad to say that they see a woman and think she’ll be a pushover if they simply buy her a coffee or bat their eyelids. I can’t be won over like that, much to their dismay.” She told the other with a small shake of her head. “You must be living in a bit of a bubble then, because there are plenty of people in this town who are far from humble.”

“Poor guy… You are pretty forceful aren’t you Elena.” Fred murmured, watching the scene with amusement and a little sympathy as Elena put the person in their place. 

“I just don’t like to be pestered by unimportant things. They were practically begging me and I don’t respond well to that. But if you want to use the word forceful, then be my guest.” Elena commented with a wave of her hand, she looked to the other boy and felt something stir in her chest, though she pushed the feeling away. Just like she did whenever she saw him.

Bella nodded her head before pulling out the flyer for the upcoming recital. “We are looking for someone to cover it. We have a smaller one that’s happening before it, but this is going to be our big Christmas recital. It will have a performance from all the classes, which means all age groups. I’m hoping the community will all come out to see it.” 

“You do know that flyers around the town are probably a better idea to get word out.” Elena commented, taking the information off the other and looking at it before emitting a small sigh. “I’ll see what I can do about getting some advertising in the next issue for you, though I make no promises. It’s not like I’m editor.”

“But come on, please! Just take a glance at this video will ya? My pet chihuahua literally uses my toilet to do his business!! I mean, that’s like a one in a million scoop right there!” Phoebe insisted, placing her phone on the other’s desk.

Elena looked to the girl before glancing down to her phone and then back at the other, “My answer is still no.” She told her, “I write articles on the important matters, not on dogs doing their business in the toilet. Plus- I’m a cat person.”

[elenaxthrcpp]

Bella paused for a moment, closing her phone and setting it back down on the counter. “I’m sorry. I think I got caught up in talking about my dog and didn’t realize it. But, um, we should get back to the upcoming recital, yeah?” She offered, giving a small smile. 

“Right, that’s the reason why you asked to meet with me after all right?” Elena asked the other, looking to her watch to ensure that she didn’t go off her schedule. “Are you wanting someone to cover it?”

Adam heard the conversation near him, and turned slightly to watch it. It amazing him how dim some were as he the other person finally walked away. “Does that happen often?” 

“More then I would like to admit, people will take fame in any form. Even if it is just from their pet gracing the front page of a newspaper.”

[elenaxthrcpp]

“Who in their right mind would want an article written about their pet?” Gwyneth asked once the other finally gave up and left Elena alone. “Like that is genuinely the first time I’ve ever seen an exchange like that. Is this a common occurrence for you?”

“That’s what I’m trying to tell people, if they want to read and pitch this kind of content then they should get in touch with Buzzfeed.” Elena sighed, rubbing her temples before looking up at the other. “Far too often, when I first started out I should have written under a different byline, maybe I wouldn’t be harassed then.”

“But their dog saved a baby. That’s a story if I ever heard one,” Ginny argued, having been seated at the table with the other when they had been approached. “Why won’t you write it?”

Elena let out a groan as she looked to her roommate, “Do you have any proof of the dog saving the baby other than the photo the owners clearly posted?” She asked the other, “This could simply be people looking for a little media attention and of course they’re going to get it when they combine two things people love, dogs and babies. I’m not writing it if I don’t have any solid evidence.”

[elenaxthrcpp]

“I don’t care how cute your pet is, this isn’t going to be a story I’m reporting.” Elena argued with the other, rubbing the bridge of her nose as they droned on. “Look, I said no, I mean no, now either drop it or leave me alone.”

[elenaxthrcpp]

“I was well aware that this was a possibility when I put these shoes on this morning, El. It’s simply a sacrifice I’m willing to make,” Ginny shrugged, rolling her eyes a little at Elena’s ‘told you so’. When Elena defended the people she was judging the outfits of, Ginny couldn’t help but snort slightly, “You only say that because you use that argument with me all the time. Fashion over function, El. When will you understand?”

“You have a twisted view on life, that and I don’t understand why you would put yourself through unnecessary pain.” Elena commented with a small tut all before witnessing the very classic Ginny eye roll something she seemed to get a lot. “When fashion becomes more comfortable, that will be the only time.”

“Okay, I’m not gonna lie, I bought both of these for me but I suppose you can have one,” Pietro said, looking at the other, “You’re welcome.”

“And just how drunk were you planning on getting at this thing and at this early on- you may have set a new record.” Elena commented, taking the drink from the other. “But I’ll save you from some embarrassment that would probably come later by slowing you down, thank you.”

[elenaxthrcpp]

“Oh my gosh, the barbeque is finally here! What should we do first?! Go swimming?! Or we could go looking at the various little stands! Or! We could go get cotton candy! The sweetest thing on earth!” Phoebe exclaimed, nearly about to pass out from the excitement. She couldn’t help it, she had been waiting for this to happen for the past week and now she was able to let loose with all her friends and family.

Elena looked to the other a little wide eyed, all this talk of sugar and she was pretty sure it was the last thing the other needed right now, “Are you sure you haven’t already torn through all the snack stands and sugar- it seems like that’s the case. I’ve never known someone to get so excited over a barbecue before. But already I’m going to say no to the swimming, me and water aren’t on great terms.”

“You caught me– I’m sitting because my feet are aching. But I will not leave my house without wearing heels on my feet and I’m willing to suffer the consequences,” Ginny admitted with a shrug. “I’m still having a great time. Currently I’m busy silently judging the outfits of the people passing by. You’re welcome to sit with me if you’d like.”

“Need I tell you I told you so, or have I told you so many times now that it’s just a constant echo in your head when something like this happens?” Elena couldn’t help but ask, moving to sit beside her roommate, “Do your really think it’s fair to judge people’s outfits though- does style really matter as long as someone is comfortable?”

“As someone told me lately: ‘Ev'ryone deserves the chance to fly!’  And if I’m flying solo at least I’m flying free. To those who’d ground me take a message back from me, tell them how I am defying gravity.” (late happy birthday @rose-weaxley)

“Who can say if I’ve been changed for the better? But because I knew you I have been changed for good…”
