Draco's thoughts re: enabling castmates for luceti

[hisdarkmark]

Who the bloody hell do you think you're calling old?

I'll have you know that being nearly twenty is not, in fact, old, and isn't even my fault. If you hadn't insisted on torturing me in the same place for nearly three years, we wouldn't be in this position. Honestly, a nineteen year old sixth year. Preposterous.

Besides, did you ever bother to think how horrible this would end? If any of them were to come back--[He cuts off suddenly, as though something wonderful has occurred to him.] ...if any of them were to come back, I'd be the one with seniority this time. I would be the one laying out all of the rules and I could have total control. Everything would be in my favor, as it should.

[He sounds more pleased now that he's seeing it that way.] Right. You're excused for today, if only because this is a brilliant plan. I'd almost consider it perfect if you weren't actually involved.

Oh, and before you even think about it, no, I will not start wearing house slippers just because Hisoka and Tsuzuki want me to. Come off it.

[…this is kind of funny in a cute, reminds-him-of-people-he-knows way.]

Twenty years doesn't begin to approach old. But, then, you don't sound like you need to be reassured of that.

[hisdarkmark]

I most certainly don't, no. It's just ridiculous that she seems to need a reminder despite the fact she's even older than I am. What would be considered old then?

[grapecape]

...For a human...fifty years, perhaps? Though those with elven lineage may live longer, as may those who study magic. Correct me if I'm wrong, I don't meet [any] many humans.

[hisdarkmark]

[...hold it. Fifty seems a bit young for him, considering how wizards age, but.] Elven lineage?

[quicktoanger]

"Geez, and I'm thirty-seven. I'm a living fossil at this point, I guess?"

[hisdarkmark]

Oh, absolutely. How you're even still standing is a mystery to me.

[quicktoanger]

"Yeah. By the way, I have no idea what this means, but the mun tells me that this is funnier because our wizards live as long as Flamel?"

[hisdarkmark]

[If Draco were any less articulate, he'd respond with something similar to "holy shit, what." But he's a Malfoy. And Malfoys don't express things that way.]

You've never heard of Nicholas Flamel?

[shadedsunlight]

I was going to say wait until you're 31, but my mun likes to point out I was born in 81.

[hisdarkmark]

...Urgh. Ginia, why must you remind me I'm technically older than you? Why?

[shadedsunlight]

Because it's hilarious.

So, Gramps, tell me how you flew to school in a blizzard.

[hisdarkmark]

I'm glad you're so terribly amused. Do you want me to revoke my promises of making plans for the next mission?

[touchofrogue]

...huh.

[hisdarkmark]

"Huh" what, Rogue?

[touchofrogue]

Just thinkin' ya must not remember your own callow youth, if ya think your age'll get anyone ta listen to ya.

[Or she was just startled by the fact that they're the same age. Or both. Whatever.]

[hisdarkmark]

If my seniority won't, I'm sure the threats will. [At least he's half-joking.] But honestly, I have the education of a sixteen-year-old, I'll be twenty in June, and there's nothing I can do about it. Shouldn't I get some sort of reward for putting up with this?

[undoubtedly]

You know Draco, nothing good ever comes when your head starts to inflate.

[hisdarkmark]

[...Nott. Been a while since he's seen you.]

And who said anything about an inflated head? I think mine's still a good size.

[undoubtedly]

[Has it? Be a friend and make a visit, then.]

Your head has never been a good size. Especially not when you get on about total control.

[cynicism]

Shoes in the house are barbaric. We don't live in a barn.

[hisdarkmark]

It's my house, you know.

[cynicism]

So you keep reminding me.

[hexuality]

[Three years. Nineteen year old sixth year. When did she and Draco start to have similarities?]

Bloody hell.

[hisdarkmark]

[Oh wonderful. Just the person he wanted to see, really.]

What is it now, Weaselette? [Is it even right to call her that anymore? She doesn't exactly look young enough for it. Time to get creative again.]

[hexuality]

Oh, I haven't heard that in ages. I've almost missed it.

[Almost.]

I just never thought I'd understand where you were coming from, Malfoy. That's all.
