(7th) In Which Gryffindors Will Forever Be Cursed With Unlocked Entries.
[Sometime after Kadaj's lovely announcement and a bit before the event, once again, Mulan's journal is activated by a curious little red dragon named Mushu. The first thing we see from the recording is teeth. Is he...? Yes, he's flossing. And he looks rather pleased with himself. My, aren't you a good looking lizard dragon!
The journal eventually turns around as a voice speaks up and there's Mulan! She looks rather sad, but she's smiling. And cuddling a small purplish cricket in on her bed. Yep, that's right Hogwarts, your evil warrior of doom is cuddling a cricket in an adorable fashion. :| There's a piece of paper and a quill, that will be important in a few minutes, sitting beside her.]
Cri-Kee? What are you doing here?
[And there is chirping. Cute, adorably intelligent chirping.]
So you stole away in the letter to visit because you hate the drama?
[An affirmative cricket chirp and a soft laugh from Mulan.]
And this has nothing to do with the fact that Grandmama is busy brewing up batches of synthetic Phoenix Tears and not paying attention to you right now?
[Adorably pouting cricket noises. Caught! ALL WE NEED IS LOVEEEEE~]
Well, I suppose you can stay. It's not as if I have a pet here, just Mushu.
[And cue some indignant dragon noises along with a frightened cricket chirp.]
Mushu! Grandmama is not going to use you for potions ingredients, Cri-Kee... You're her lucky charm. She'd never do that. And what happened to not being a pet and instead a great being of might, Oh-Sacred-Dragon Daemon?
[You're evil warrior of doom is now consoling a frightened, even more adorable cricket and scolding a small red lizard dragon, who just snorted smoke in even more indignitation, in Chinese. Her sad smile has been replaced by a pouty!scowl too. For a few more minutes you can see Mushu arguing back, Cri-Kee going between adding his two cents in and hiding in Mulan's hair/cuddling her and Mulan attempting to play peacemaker to the two in Chinese. Derp, derp, derp.
Suddenly, Mulan is going to stand up and wince a bit, knocking Mushu off balance and Cri-Kee too. The two stop their arguing, Cri-Kee takes up residence on Mushu's head and Mushu is ... hiding behind the piece of paper Mulan had been writing on before all this. Brave little toaster dragon!]
Somethings...off. A pull. In the bag, you two!
[Mushu grabs the journal, the paper briefly seen as it's placed inside before everything stops. Soon afterwards, the words from the letter appear;]
Where to even begin... [Attempts at beginnings have been stricken out in ink. There is a lot. :| This is obviously a draft of some type.]
I ... I apologize, if I have caused anyone discomfort or pain by not disclosing my past. Or if the skills I am capable of now disgu frighten anyone. Despite the claims, I do not know nor practice any of the Dark Arts. I know of them, as you have to if you want to defend against them, but I give my word that I have never used them.
Honestly, I never knew what, if I should of, said anything and here it has never seemed to come up before. However, it has now and all that I can do is give the truth.
I have trained and fought in a war. A war against a large army of dark beings, wizards and others, who were intent on killing, torturing and the likes of all they came in contact with. I ... [Several more strikes appear, attempts of fail to phrase the following adequately.] took the lives of others in combat. I did this illegally - disguised as a man instead of a woman, because in China it was illegal for any female to be a part of the magical Chinese Imperial Defense Force. It was illegal for them any of us to be trained in the ways I was.
[Even more strikes. Why is this paper just not one blob of ink?] I had reasons, personal ones, for doing it. I regret it all had to happen, but I cannot regret my taken actions. I won't go into details of what happened during the war or why, it's ... not appropriate, over the journals.
I understand that there are a lot of questions in the air and that some of you would probably rather not come be in contact with me. I'll do my best to honour both of those and answer what I can.
I apologize for the deception... I regret not being able to inform you all myself and any problems this has caused.
I want to apologize to the House of Slytherin, as well. The general entire House did not deserve to lose points for my past secrets.
