Well, then. I think there's a major issue on this entire project which everyone seems to be missing. Namely, how are those of us with more...obscure...interviewees supposed to get in contact with them reliably

I'm quite sure that Professor Binns has already contacted them to make sure it was fine.

[bootme]

Well, he might have and he might not have, but the matter stands that I am not sure of my reliable contacts.

You're in about the same position, I think. No?

[nott_a_lot]

Mr Pettigrew is in Azkaban, I don't think anybody knows the location of Mr Lestrange.

I imagine it's a bit easier to contact Mr Pettigrew, as he probably has ample free time.

[bootme]

I know, actually. Er, both of the proceeding, not Mr Lestrange's current location.

Well, yes, I do imagine. Though I once again reiterate that I doubt that I would answer a summons like, well, that.

Also, while I am not protesting my assignment in the slightest, I do wonder why not everyone has to deal with this. While you and I undoubtably have two of the most interesting choices, I still wonder why some of our classmates got, say, Professor Sprout or Professor Vector or even a painting. Or Weasley's mother.

I mean, if you're going for that level of ease, you might as well have me interview my father. He is of the correct age.

[nott_a_lot]

I hadn't realised that. It's a good point.

[bootme]

I also find any number of the pairings odd, but that's a different issue.

[nott_a_lot]

Which pairings do you find odd?

[bootme]

A lot of them, really, though not the ones others seem to.

It just seems to me that some of these pairings look constructive and some destructive, if you understand what I'm trying to say. And I mean that in the sine-wave-interference manner, not the worldly manner.

[nott_a_lot]

I understand what you're trying to say, but I think it's just an assignment. I don't think it's going to change anyone's life.

[bootme]

I think everything changes everyone's life.

Everything.

[nott_a_lot]

Changing is also a choice. Unless somebody is pushing you to do something you don't want to do.

[bootme]

Change is the universe's only constant.

The only problem is that change also changes the fact that it is the universe's only constant.

Much like the idea that there are no absolutes, and that that also means that even the statement 'there are no absolutes' is not absolute.

[nott_a_lot]

While I agree with you, I still think it's just an assignment. You sound almost ready to throw yourself into change.

[bootme]

I'm always ready to throw myself into change, but that's not the issue.

You are right. It's merely an assignment. I still wonder, however.

[zanyzacharias]

Yes, I wonder the same thing, really.

I'd much rather interview your father.

[bootme]

If nothing else, he'd be much more three-dimensional.

Though, somehow, I doubt you really mean that, except in the 'I'd rather eat glass' way.
