I really ought to update the wards so they won't allow riffraff into my house.

What do you want?

What I want is to know why Harry came back to Grimmauld House today in such a strop that he damn near took out all the windows with his anger.

[dracolicious]

Yes, well, how does it feel to want?

[jaildawg]

Exhilarating, but that's not a real answer.

[dracolicious]

Didn't you bother to pry the answer out of your precious godson yourself? Merlin knows he loves opening up his self-made cans of worms all over your shoes. I assume Potter's actually confessed why he's been hitting you up for lodging?

[jaildawg]

Oh, I already know all about the idiocy with the Time-Turner. Tore a strip or two off of him for it, but unlike you, I actually understand why he did it.

[dracolicious]

I know why he did it, you moron. I'm not best pleased that I gave him the idea and the opportunity in the first place, but he's still got to be punished for not grasping the levels of wrongness and risk he's exposed everyone to.

[jaildawg]

Oh, I've no doubt that you know the factual side of why he did it, but you can't possibly understand the why behind it. Not at the level that he would want you to, at any rate. Your continued punishment of him to this extent is proof enough of that. He does not share the blame alone. You might as well have given Firewhiskey to an alcoholic and asked him politely to take only one sip.

[dracolicious]

I took the bloody thing away from him when we were finished!

[jaildawg]

Yes, because an alcoholic never breaks into the drinks cupboard in the middle of the night.

[dracolicious]

Most alcoholics don't keep a cupboard of booze in the house to begin with if they're actually interested in changing their habits.

[jaildawg]

Most alcoholics have spouses who don't bring booze into the house at all.

[dracolicious]

One drink wouldn't turn most booze virgins into alcoholics at first sip. Leave it to Potter to be special.

[jaildawg]

Let's see both your parents dead first before you start casting aspersions on my godson.

[dracolicious]

It isn't possible for you to see any side but his, so do us both a favor and Floo your sorry arse back home. You likely have windows to repair, anyway.

[jaildawg]

And you see both sides? I think not.

[dracolicious]

Of course I do! That's why I petitioned for the damned bit of metal in the first place! It doesn't mean I can allow him to sneak back in time willy nilly whenever he feels like it!
