More voicetesting.

[grimhunter]

No I don't think it's anything to be ashamed of. I think as long as you read the books about Potter then that'd be enough.

I mean technically we lived it, so I suppose you might want to consider but given the circumstances.

Comments

[theblacksheep]

The young lady over here says she likes the books better, anyway, so don't worry about it, mate.

..Also, when did you get old?

[grimhunter]

[Kingsley was never a part of the direct Potter's circle. They came together when they were needed and when everything happened he was working and...

This. Oh.]

Job'll do that, as my dad used to say. Mun says not to be surprised to see you Sirius, and thank you for the words.

[theblacksheep]

...Right, forgot about that. Minister, aren't you? Good on you!

[wotcher]

I don't think there's anything wrong with your voice, Kingsley.

[ God, Tonks. Do you have to be so literal? ]

It has a nice, booming quality to it.

[grimhunter]

Love, It's not my voice she's worried about. [It's the meaning behind it. It's the memories]

that must be why I always win singing contests.

[wotcher]

You might want to be worried about your voice then. There's all sorts of nasty things in Anatole.

[ Tonks you don't have to sound so eager to go into great detail about said nastiness. Really. ]

Must be.

[petergrew]

I'm afraid that we've all faced terrible things from those books, and apparently I'm the biggest arse of them all.

Finished them not too long ago; heard you grew up to be incredibly important. My condolences and apologies, Kingsley.

[grimhunter]

...Peter?

[This is just too weird] ...Important in some cases, not from where my writer's taking me.

...Are there a lot of you around? I'm not going to run into younger me somehow am I?

Department of Mysteries would have a headache over this.

[petergrew]

Hey, yeah. Peter. In the flesh, which I assume is very odd for anyone that isn't me, and I'm very sorry about that; not my intention to scare anyone and I probably should not have said anything.

I haven't run into anyone but you and, oh, there are others but they haven't said much to me since I came.

Have you seen the inside of the Department? I always wondered...

[grimhunter]

...Surprising. Not odd. Don't hurt yourself.

[He frowns] Once and it's not particularly a pleasant experience to recall.

[petergrew]

Pardon me for asking; I suppose I shouldn't but...

... What was it that you saw?

[brewglory]

And just what, pray tell, is your mundane considering?

[grimhunter]

...She's never seen the second film, the last one. The last piece of Harry's Story.

[brewglory]

You only have one line.

[Whereas others have epic death scenes and tragic flashbacks.]

I fail to see what purpose it would serve.

[grimhunter]

[Kingsley's father, a muggle policeman, once told him that silence is more telling then words. Sometimes in cases where you don't know how to react, say very little. Wait for the other person to speak.

It's both polite, and it will teach you about other people. Something Kingsley has striven to do.]

She'd like to honor everyone.

[And now we wait.]

[brewglory]

[Severus can't lay claim to learning that particular lesson save from time and experience. It isn't his nature to immediately resort to it - particularly not when Legilimency affords him a much better in-road - but he does know when to keep silent.

Besides: what else is there to say?]

How charitable of her. No doubt the Dark Lord's corpse will appreciate the sentiment.

[grimhunter]

[Kingsley's turn to be quiet.]

His isn't the only corpse she'd like to honor Severus.

[brewglory]

There were a fair few of them, as one might imagine.

I am, of course, more interested in how she chooses to..."honour" you.

[seatower]

Considering re-living a life? Sometimes it's the only way we can learn.

[grimhunter]

Do I have to learn?

[seatower]

Only if you want to grow.

[grimhunter]

[There's a mildly amused look on his face] If the occasion calls for it, I think I will.

[seatower]

How do you know if the occasion calls for it?

[grimhunter]

usually someone will tell me.

[seatower]

I think that must be nice.

[effugio]

Nice name, mate. My mun approves.

[thegreatergood]

Is Herr Snape bothering you here?

[aroundthetwist]

There is little other insight to gain anywhere else once the books have been finished with.

Especially for some of us...lesser focused on individuals.

[He refuses to say 'less important' or 'less popular' because please.]
