on missing home / friends @ asgardeventide

[charmandchant]

It's not so bad, so far.

( But it's a war. And Hermione has had quite enough of wars, thank you very much. )

But I miss Harry, Ron and the Weasley's. And Teddy. I miss going shopping in Diagon Alley and finding new books in Flourish and Blott's. I miss being able to do magic, researching new potions, hugging my friends, laughing with them around the fire..

And no! Before you suggest it, having Malfoy there is not anywhere near the same thing!

Hm. If you come from a world such as that, it's no wonder you miss it and yearn to go back. But overcoming that yearning...that is what takes true strength.

[charmandchant]

There is a saying in Tibet that is similar - "tragedy ought to be the source of strength". However, given the situation and the lack of choice, I'd much rather be weak.

[rocket_man]

Weakness is never something you should rather have. Strength is to be valued in any setting, whether it be of your choice or not.

[charmandchant]

Even if that strength creates tragedy?

[wasthemaster]

Finally. Something we can both agree on.

[charmandchant]

Do you insist on following me around because you're lonely or because you have nothing else to do?

[wasthemaster]

Neither. I just think your reactions are quite amusing.

[roonil]

Who's Teddy? [Focusing on the most important details, of course. But wait, no magic? No h-hugging or.]

Hang on, are you saying you're somewhere all alone with Malfoy? [THE HORROR.]

[charmandchant]

Ron! ( Sorry, sheer joy here. Who cares that Ted Remus Lupin - you know, Remus and Tonks's baby boy sounded like some other guy? She gets to see her best friend! )

Yes. With Malfoy. It's .. weird, being there, and he's the only one from home and he's different.

[roonil]

[Oh, right, that. He's from their 6th year, you see. For all he knows, Teddy could be Hermione's-Well. His ears are just going to be burning from the sheer joy she exudes from seeing him.

Only this Malfoy business has his face screwing up in both disgust ("With Malfoy" ugh) and thought, trying to picture it.]

Different how?

[courageous_wit]

You think that's odd? I have the Marauders with me, as teenagers.

eee, hello (: we match!

[charmandchant]

Interesting. Isn't that breaking several of theories of time travel that were set down by the Ministry and creating loops?

( Then again, talking to yourself is probably breaking a few of those rules, also. )

hello; we are clearly the most awesome

[courageous_wit]

It would be if the Ministry had any influence in that world. But this magic does what it wants, breaking rules of time and even life or death.

[seeked]

I think we'd both be a little insulted if Malfoy was considered the same thing. [Just because Harry can't go and join her in the city doesn't mean he can't say hello to his best friend ok.]

[charmandchant]

Oh, Harry. He could never replace the two of you, even if we were friends, which we definitely aren't! ( They're .. less than friends. )

[seeked]

Then I'm definitely not worried. [Even though he is. Because Harry. But maybe if he just activates his SAVING PEOPLE POWERS...] How bad is it there?

[knight_to_king]

Would hope not. Malfoy's about as much company as a toenail.

[charmandchant]

Ronald! ( She might be trying to sound stern, but it's hard when you're laughing, isn't it? ) He's not that awful. He's just not you.

[knight_to_king]

[Hey, at least he got her to laugh! He snorts though, both looking amused and trying not to look amused at the same time.] Talking about the same Malfoy, are we? I'd hope he wasn't me, I might have to punch myself in the face then.

[dropdeadweasley]

If they were really gonna suggest it, you might want to have a look 'round for giant holes in their head while you're here. Think they might need the repair work.

t-that username oh gosh

[charmandchant]

I can't say I disagree with you - there is definitely something wrong with my mun.

my childhood movies have always been terrible influences orz

[dropdeadweasley]

Well, then- no need to fear, the professional's here! Fully qualified to check your ins, outs, odds, ends, nutters, loonies and all around... [ One of those so-so kinds of hand gestures. ]

...ehh, not quite rights.

[doctor_insano]

Could you really do magic before?

[charmandchant]

Er, yes. Why?

[doctor_insano]

Like David Copperfield?
