Looking a gift-pig in the mouth.

I don't know why I've developed the habit of purposely ignoring the possibility of doom and destruction, and instead choose to only see the potential for the good, warm and fuzzy. Saddling myself with the poster boy for Gryffindor probably hasn't helped, all things considered

I'm fine. I'm not going to start bursting into tears, you know. Honestly.

[boywholives]

I have an idea. How about you never speak to me about this again? That sounds like a grand idea to me.

[dracolicious]

If that's what you want.

[boywholives]

I don't know what I want.

[dracolicious]

Yes, you do. You want it all, but there isn't a way to capture every second of their lives and spy on them in person at your leisure. If that's what you want, I suggest that you revisit some of the memories Black, Lupin and the others cobbled together for you. It's the best we've got.

I just...want to see them happy. With each other. So that I would know that it wasn't all for nothing. Getting married, having me...that stupid prophecy...

I don't know why this is bothering me now. It's stupid.

[dracolicious]

I wouldn't say it was for nothing. They were living their lives as best they could, clearly. They went to great lengths to keep themselves safe, and if it hadn't been for that rat selling the lot of you out, Merlin knows how history would have progressed. But I do believe they were just as pleased with themselves and with you as we are with our family, of course. A bit of sniping means very little in the grand scheme of things.

[boywholives]

The same as with us?

I'm sorry I've been such an...unbearable git.

[dracolicious]

Not entirely unbearable. I hadn't reached the point of sedating you for your own health, after all. You'll be all right.
