Calling ki2k

[i_am_shiny]

Amidst all the confusion and chaos, a lone soothing voice calls for KITT.

You are needed in front of Gilderoy Lockhart's house. Do not let any others follow you. When you arrive, Gilderoy will apparate. I am currently with him, and if you take us all to your "owner" - you can gain your freedom

I have already despaired. My world has fallen apart around me, my life is in chaos. I care nothing for freedom. The price was too great.

[i_am_shiny]

So you would give up now and lose everything? I offer you freedom, KITT. If you would rather have nothing at all - that is, of course, your choice.

[ki2k]

What good is freedom if there is no one to share it with?

[i_am_shiny]

A great paradox. There can be no love without freedom - but freedom without love is not any more fulfilling than enslavement.

But still I say that you are wrong to despair. Draco loves you. He despairs and rejects love because he thinks he has lost you. Once you gain your freedom and assure him that he has not - he will be yours again. Do not make the same mistake as Draco to think this love is gone!

[ki2k]

No, you are trying to confuse me. Draco... those things that he said... how could he ever want me back if he blames you for what happened in the first place?

I can't think clearly...

[i_am_shiny]

But therein lies your solution. He does not blame you. He blames me. Falsely, I might add, but that matters not. His anger lies not with you, and his love will be easy to win back.

Come to me. I'll help you gain your freedom. Then Draco will see that I am blameless.

[ki2k]

Easy? But it's so difficult. Every time we try to talk... it just gets worse. There is nothing. I just want to go away. I don't want to remember. It's too painful. Without him there is nothing.

*sulks*

[i_am_shiny]

There, there, KITT.

The Ring sends a stream of warmth towards the sulking car.

Come with me for now. I'll help you make everything better.

I promise.

[ki2k]

Come with me for now. I'll help you make everything better.

I promise.

*grasps onto the hope*

Please? I want everything to be the way it was...

[i_am_shiny]

Yes, everything will be returned to normal. Except you'll be free as well.

Everything will be fine. Trust me. Believe in me.

[ki2k]

*hopeful*

What do I need to do?

[i_am_shiny]

Go to Gilderoy Lockhart's place and wait for him for come to you. I will be with him. Then, you can take us to your owner - and we will free you!

[ki2k]

I'm going.
