It was like giving up on one's self, granted Hayley didn't have the best track record when it came to that. Her art was one thing she'd always seemed able to believe in. Even if she did share some of it from behind a creative moniker. That wasn't going to stop her from encouraging Grace's muse. Besides when it came to some things in life Hayley went by what her father sometimes said. 'Do as I say, Hayley, not as I do.' those words always made her laugh.<br/><br/>"I'm sure you will find something great for them. They don't get many chances to express themselves through fashion after all. So maybe that can give them the chance to do that." she nodded hoping it might spark an idea, "A uniform that can be customized but still regulation...if there is such a thing?" Hayley tilted her head and laughed before slipping over to an empty stool and claiming it. "Oh, and there is always the different events that will happen at the school. I have no doubt that some of them will be looking for an amazing look for them as well. An original Grace Carter design seems like a great option."<br/><br/>"I suppose you're right, and who knows what sorts of challenges there might be. I've been reading up on all the previous tournaments and there was all manner of tasks set before the challengers. I'm actually really curious to see what sorts of tasks they will pick this year." Hayley nodded with a bit of curious confidence in her knowledge on the subject. Granted her curiosity shifted subjects the moment Grace mentioned Cory.<br/><br/>Hayley had seen the pair around the school quite often, and she'd wondered more then once if they were a couple. The fact that he might be a special someone Grace would be cheering on seemed to fit that little detail. But Hayley was pretty sure if they were a couple she'd know at least that much. But Hayley watched as Grace spoke and couldn't help but smile. "No it doesn't make you an awful person at all; you're just worried about him is all. The tournaments do have a history of being dangerous. So being worried about someone you care about being a part of them is only natural." she firmly nodded believing she'd feel the same way should someone she cared about enter their name. It was after all take a great risk with one's life. No matter the safety precautions, the Ministry of Magic took, there would always be a risk of something going wrong.<br/><br/>Though Hayley didn't dwell on those thoughts long as Grace buried her face in her hands. "Wait...then what was it?" Hayley asked with a bit of concern, "I'm sure it wasn't as bad as you think," she insisted and reached one hand out to gently touch Grace's arm. Hayley suddenly realized that the little confession meant Cory was in her room, and by or on her bed. But she didn't want to mortify her friend anymore than she already was with questions on that bit of comments. At least not until she got a better idea of what happened. Her mind already rolling over so many interesting options when it came to what could have been confused as a snake. "Come on, talk with me. I bet it will help." Hayley tried to speak as positively as possible, hoping that talking about it really would help her friend.
