26th Gryffindor Note - voice / action

Feb 15, 2011 17:42

[Hermione is outside, with blankets to sit in and wrap up in, and has her trademark jar of fire in front of her making heat. It's a nice trick and, like everything else she knows, she's glad she learned it. After a few minutes of sitting, she opens up her journal.]

It's not that I don't like the holiday of Valentine's Day. I just don't see why we ( Read more... )

time to relax a little, indirect reference, where are the trolls now, she's just crazy okay, !audio post, !action post, well that was awkward, when in doubt go to the library, event time, things have gotten interesting, luceti will never stop surprising me, maybe needing dating advice, genius at work, the insufferable know-it-all, .ron weasley, public snogging not battle snogging, question for the masses, because i'm brilliant that's why, need answers, no house-elves involved this time, what is my life even, my life is a sitcom, i'm good at fire spells

People celebrate love in different ways, Granger. Sometimes I yell a lot less when I'm feeling particularly affectionate. [Oh Hermione. You sound like a hopeless romantic in Draco's book. At least Draco doesn't sound as serious as usual.]

[Voice] loyalotter February 16 2011, 03:43:33 UTC

[Yeah, like you have any room to talk.]

I just think it's silly that some people need a specific holiday for it.

[Voice] hisdarkmark February 16 2011, 06:08:19 UTC

[Yeah, he can't talk.]

Valentine's Day, as far as I'm concerned, is nothing more than a popularity contest. It's a time to see who has the best significant other and who can receive the best presents. It's like Christmas but with far more cards and flowers and less snow.

[Voice] loyalotter February 16 2011, 20:55:29 UTC

Which is rubbish, really. Who needs a special holiday to be kind to someone? And it's also rubbish to turn something like this into a popularity contest. Honestly, there are far better ways to spend your time.

[Voice] hisdarkmark February 17 2011, 00:10:45 UTC

Are you saying it's rubbish because you don't usually have a Valentine, Granger?

[Voice] loyalotter February 17 2011, 21:59:26 UTC

[...Draco, that was a low-blow.]

No, I'm not! I never needed a Valentine.

[Voice] hisdarkmark February 17 2011, 22:33:12 UTC

[He knows, but he was mostly curious]

Then is it because you usually don't have anyone to randomly surprise you?

[Voice] loyalotter February 19 2011, 16:35:29 UTC

Again you're wrong.

[Yeah, she's... totally sulking now, thanks, draco.]

[Voice] hisdarkmark February 20 2011, 08:10:26 UTC

There has to be a reason, doesn't there? It's a rather bold statement to be making. Maybe that's just my logic.

[Voice] loyalotter February 21 2011, 22:52:49 UTC

No, I just think people ought to be nicer to each other over the entire year and not just during one specific day.

[Voice] hisdarkmark February 22 2011, 09:27:22 UTC

That's what Hufflepuffs are for.

Think about it this way, Hermione. Wouldn't the world be a boring place if all people were nicer to each other 365 days a year? Not even peaceful, just boring.

[Voice] loyalotter February 22 2011, 18:13:22 UTC

I don't think so. It'd be a nicer place to live in if everyone got on and no one was cruel or mean to each other. We wouldn't have Death Eaters or people being in danger all the time.

[What, she does believe that, even if the day's making her say it.]

[Voice] hisdarkmark February 23 2011, 07:27:56 UTC

Maybe so, but maybe there are just some people that are born evil. If they're born that way, it doesn't make a difference if the entire world is sunshine and unicorns. Someone's going to be cruel and someone's going to destroy it.

On the bright side, Luceti seems to be leaning toward the nicer side of things most of the time. You know, if you disregard the draft and the experiments and the psychopaths.

[Voice] loyalotter February 24 2011, 17:32:54 UTC

No, but that's when the rest of us band together to fight it back.

It's not so bad on a normal day. [She sounds thoughtful... a little anyway. Funny to think she'd get so used to it.]

[Voice] hisdarkmark February 25 2011, 17:17:29 UTC

How can you just think of this all as simple as black and white still? [He's not too upset, but genuinely curious.]

...you've grown used to it. Comfortable.

[Voice] loyalotter February 26 2011, 17:30:33 UTC

Because that's what it has to be for me. [She sighs.] Fight the bad with the good. Befriend anyone who'll listen. If another gray patch happens... we'll take it as it comes. [He's the closest thing to a gray patch she's ever had to deal with regarding this anyway.]

Unfortunately, I think you're right. I'm not sure if this is a good thing or not.
