... People can come back to this place, right? I mean, I did, didn't I?

You aren't gone for good once you leave, are you?

This's the third time you've been around, you know.

Whould you like a job?

[tomboyishly]

The third? Someone told me I'd been around before, but I didn't know it happened twice.

... Sure.

[the_wheezy]

That's my count, at least.

Styles says you can have Neville's if you'd like it.

[tomboyishly]

So how long have you been here, anyway? When I left home, you were still there with me.

... Okay. Tell him I'll take it. But if Neville comes back and wants his job back, I'll quit.

I got back here in July from being here a bit before that, apparently, and that I remembered, but only a bit, like it'd been a dream or some rot. I think someone told me once that I'd been here a while before, too, but I don't remember that.

I'll let him know, then.

[tomboyishly]

... So it's a regular epidemic, then.

Thanks.

... Are you going to be okay, Ron?

[the_wheezy]

I'll be straight, I'm sure... S'just that the fact that we won't see or hear form him again for Merlin knows how long reminds me of everyone else back home, as well.

[tomboyishly]

...Yeah. Me too.
