I don't suppose it's ever occurred to you that maybe I have something better to do than wait around for you to suddenly decide you miss me.

I have work to do; translating The Tales of Beedle the Bard, for one. Finishing my education, for another. Just because things are wrapping up nicely doesn't mean I'm not busy. Now, if you don't mind, I'd appreciate it if we could just get this over with and I could fade nicely into the background.

Beedle the Bard?

[Eyebrows raising.]

Sounds compelling. What's it being translated from and to?

[charmandchant]

Ancient runes. It's from the fifteenth century.

( oh no, now you'll never get her to shut up. )

The stories have been passed down and written down, but a direct first edition translation has never been done - mostly because the first edition has never been found. Until now.

Woah- that is neat. You have a fifteenth century magician opting to write in something that archaic, what, proto-Norse or futhorc, or something else entirely? Is there power in the text itself, or is someone... I don't know, being pretentious, or trying to cover their tracks, or part of an order that just relies on seriously outdated runic scripts on the day to day?

[He feels like he remembers reading about an order of Germanic magicians who got heavy into runes a few centuries before that, but can't honestly remember enough about them to contribute much.]

What's it about?

Dumb AU where Harry was raised as Dick Grayson.

I'd argue that you're not very good at fading into the background.

that is an au! :)

[charmandchant]

I'm better than you, boy who lived and all that!

Fading nicely into the background? Have you met yourself, Hermione?

[charmandchant]

And what is that supposed to mean, Ronald?

( bro, you're on dangerous ground. careful. )
