[Harry Potter is strutting strolling through the village of Luceti, apparently without a care in the world. One might not even guess that just a couple of hours ago, he was held captive by the Malnosso. To come out of something like that, well... one might consider him rather lucky

What's the last thing you remember?

That's probably my fault. I got scared by the idea of letting more people know, because it usually doesn't end well. I didn't mean to make you feel excluded, though.

To be honest, I don't know if he cares about that sort of thing. He does what he wants regardless of what anyone says sometimes, so it's something he did on his own. What do you mean by it not ending well, though?

[He hesitates before writing the rest of the message.]
Most of the time, people I talked with ended up dead.
Draco told me something - about a person who killed a lot of people in your world. He used him as an example of why I should trust him, I think.

[Harry pauses to think about it for a moment.]
So the person who's behind all this is a murderer?
That person who Draco mentioned, I reckon it's Voldemort. Draco has some experience with Voldemort, but so do I. I don't know how that would make much of a difference.

Yes, he is. Draco met him by accident. I'm pretty sure that Hisoka had already warned him about him. It's kind of a touchy subject for him, too.
How come both of you know a person that dangerous?

Is this person dealing with Draco on a regular basis? [Asking Draco or Hisoka about it would just end badly, he's sure of it.]
I don't know what Draco's told you about his side of it, but I'm the only one who can stop that person. I've been up against his forces for years, aside from the near two that I've been here.

No, thank goodness. He was close to him during the family week, but other than that, I haven't seen them interact. You can't be too careful, you know?
You are? I shouldn't be surprised. You and Hermione and that red-haired boy were all very talented with your wands in DA. Isn't that an awful burden to put on someone as young as you?

That's a relief. I didn't see much of him during the family week, so I'm not sure who it could be. Draco made it sound a lot worse, though.
Yeah. The three of us have been defending ourselves for a while... back home, at least. I suppose it's an awful burden, but if it wasn't me, it'd be someone else. Someone else would have to go through all those horrible things. Even if I wasn't involved somehow, I'd want to stop him. I think it's better this way.

[A guilty pause] Did he?
It takes a a lot of courage to take on a responsibility like that. I bet it must have driven you crazy when Draco wouldn't tell you what he was doing, then.

He was very serious about it. [Surprisingly so.]
Er, thanks. [It's almost old hat now. Sort of. He likes being a savior sometimes. But yeah, being cut off like that is still vexing Harry on some level.] It certainly did.

I think he said that to keep you safe. He must care a lot about you.
I don't want to talk about this over the journals. Is there anywhere we can meet?
