It seems that we are sorely in need of records kept in regards to the citizens of World’s End. To this end, I am conducting a census of people in the city. Respond to me here with your name, at the least, as well as where you can generally be found and your occupation, should you have one. This will aid us in times when people come and go

Harry Potter, Task Force member, and I can usually be found at the Task Force HQ or at my apartment in the southern end of town.

Hope that helps. And really, the power thing was no problem. Anything else I can do to help, just let me know.

[voice] He still hasn't gotten that text thing down.

[ferretprince]

Your apartment?

How many times do we have to go over this, Potter?

[voice] Daww, he's so cute~!

[phoenix_core]

...Fine, our apartment. I forgot how we're almost like a happy little family and all that.

[voice] Malfoys are not cute.

[ferretprince]

...Are you trying to make me retch?

[voice] Pfft

[phoenix_core]

No really, that's what we are. Me, the bread-winner of the family; you, the doting little housewife; Ginger, the family pet...

[He can't finish because he cracked up laughing. So ridiculous. He really has been away from his friends for much too long if he's comparing Malfoy to a housewife.]

[voice]

[ferretprince]

You take that back this instant, Potter.

[He isn't quite sure why that comment upsets him so much. Maybe it's just his male pride not taking too kindly to being called someone's wife - especially if it's Potter.]

[voice]

[phoenix_core]

Never! O-Oh my gosh... housewife...!

[More laughing. Apparently it's a very entertaining, and kind of appealing, idea.]

[voice]

[ferretprince]

[He makes a frustrated sound, quite tempted to get into another fight with Potter. But if there's one thing Draco's always had a talent for, it's turning his rival's advantage back on himself.]

Why, do you want me to be your wife? That's utterly repulsive. Though I can't say I'm surprised, I always knew you were a ponce.

[He isn't quite sure where that particular insult came from, but it's wholly satisfying nevertheless.]

[voice]

[phoenix_core]

[The laughing abruptly stopped.]

I am not a pounce, git.

[It was possible he denied it a little too quickly.]

[voice]

[ferretprince]

[He 'tsk's, and despite his words, it's quite clear that he doesn't believe Potter in the slightest.]

Of course. You have the Weaselette, don't you? I'd almost forgotten - rather, I hoped that I had. The very thought of her ugly complexion is enough to ruin my day.

[voice]

[phoenix_core]

Malfoy, don't bring her into this- I already told you I broke up with her last year. Don't insult her when there's no reason to and she's not even here to defend herself.

[voice]

[ferretprince]

Oh, but where's the fun in that, Potter? And I'd worry more about defending yourself than defending her. You're not doing a very good job of convincing me that you aren't bent. Of course, given your track record with girls, I can see why you'd explore other options - you're completely hopeless when it comes to them.

[He isn't sure why he's suddenly so fixated on teasing Potter about his love life. Maybe it's just because of the reactions it gets. The Gryffindor always gets so defensive.]

Re: [voice]

[phoenix_core]

I'm not b- I'm not bent! I just haven't... found the right girl yet, alright?

Besides what about you? You're the one that cares more about his hair than necessary and likes to wear dresses. If anyone's a pouf around here, it's definately you.

[Something about this conversation made Harry feel very very uncomfortable. Still, he tried to keep his tone convincing, though he wasn't doing a very good job of it.]

[voice]

[ferretprince]

[Draco bristles at that.]

There is absolutely nothing wrong with caring about your appearance. You might want to try it sometime. Have you ever even combed your hair before? No wonder you have no luck with women, Potter.
