Someone has once again stolen my capitalisation quill, and frankly it couldn't have happened on a worse day. If it were a leap year, on Tuesday my mother'd turn . . . well, I'm not sure actually, seeing as her birthday's the 29th of February . . . she would have seen 28th February 39 times, though, this year. I have a very elegant, floral piece of ( Read more... )

Your journal is very colourful now. I like the flowers.

I remember your mother. She was always very nice to me, although now I think she worried that my father spoilt me so much and constantly let me have my own way.

What did you do last year, for the 28th of February?

purepansy February 26 2005, 22:45:30 UTC

Do you think it's too bright, Theodore?

Oh, I highly doubt my mother would have disapproved of you being spoilt -- am I not as spoilt as you? She never objected to me hoarding pastels, so I hardly think she ever begrudged your mountain of books.

I don't remember. I didn't know at the time that I ought to take special note of it.

I think it could be a little easier on the eyes. But don't mind me, my vision isn't the best around. You should do whatever makes you happy, and we can do with warm colours in the middle of winter.

I see. My father asked me if I wanted to spend time with him the last Hogsmeade weekend of our fifth year and I said no -- because I was revising for the O.W.L.s. And the situations aren't even comparable. I'm sorry.

You hate my journal.

nott_a_lot February 26 2005, 23:15:17 UTC

Alright, that was rather insensitive of me. Of course I don't hate your journal. The new colours are so bright and singular, I hoped they'd cheer you up, not upset you.

purepansy February 26 2005, 23:17:33 UTC

Anyhow, I think the situations are comparable, truth told. We didn't know. Neither of us -- we didn't know. Sometimes I wrack my mind, trying to remember the details of the day, and I've even re-read my homework assignments from that day, trying to trigger something, but nothing stands out.

I expect that if I were all grown up, I would insert something here about how your father would have wanted you to prioritise your O.W.L.s, and that my mother would have wanted me to not have made a fuss over her unbirthday, but that's the kind of thing people say when they just want you to stop talking.

I know. I'll tell you something. There's that Ravenclaw who attended the Hallowe'en Ball with Lisa Turpin, who switched bodies with Anthony Goldstein. For a few days, I couldn't stop thinking that perhaps he'd seen my father, however briefly.

Do you ever feel that way?

purepansy February 26 2005, 23:38:30 UTC

Well, did you ask Corner if he had?

Not exactly. I don't know who would have seen them, as they are now.

nott_a_lot February 26 2005, 23:48:23 UTC

Well, it makes sense. I'm actually not sure what I was asking. Perhaps I wondered whether you like hearing stories about them, or if you'd prefer to not think about it.

I haven't asked him, no. I don't think he met him.

purepansy February 26 2005, 23:53:19 UTC

Sometimes I like hearing stories about them, if someone is wanting to spend the time to do so. Thing is, those who knew them best aren't exactly the type to sit around regaling us per se. They've other things to attend to. That said, when it does happen, it's nice. What about you? Do you like to hear stories?

How will you know for sure until you've enquired?

nott_a_lot February 27 2005, 00:12:17 UTC

I have to agree with you on that one. I suspect that if the people who knew those who have died in the last two decades or aren't able to contact their family had to take time off their schedules to converse with the family members, they wouldn't have time for much else.

I met some people these last holidays who knew my father, and told me stories about him. It was nice. But obviously, I'd prefer that he was back at home over listening to a million anecdotes.

I don't know!

purepansy February 27 2005, 00:26:16 UTC

I expect you're right.

Oh? Who'd you meet? Someone new? I hope your father will come home, Theodore.

Oh, for god's sake, where is my capitalisation quILL!!!! (THANK YOU, BLAISE!!!!) I'LL ASK CORNER IF YOU WON'T!!!!

nott_a_lot February 27 2005, 00:34:07 UTC

Malfoy and you were with me when I met them, actually. It was at the Malfoys's Christmas party.

Well, the capitalisation quill is back. All is well.

purepansy February 27 2005, 00:37:29 UTC

OH THOSE PEOPLE!!!! I FIGURED YOU ALREADY KNEW THEM!!!! DO YOU HAVE STORIES ABOUT MY PARENTS, THEN?!?!

!!!!

nott_a_lot February 27 2005, 00:59:17 UTC

We had a lot to talk about, but they did speak about your parents briefly, now that you mention it. Your father seemed to bring up your grades quite often, especially your O.W.L.s results. I imagine you did well.

They agreed their death was a shame, your parents seemed to be very well-liked and always busy organising or doing something.

purepansy February 27 2005, 01:05:25 UTC

MY PARENTS LIKED MY MARKS?!?! OH, THAT'S BRILLIANT!!!! THANK YOU!!!!

They were very busy, yes.

Corner says he didn't see your father, Theodore. I'm not sure if that's good or bad, so I'll just leave it at that.

Also? I failed my Apparation test again. I'M NEVER GOING TO LEARN HOW TO TRAVEL!!!!
