The thing about death.

[zanyzacharias]

I didn't know Susan much, aside from quidditch. I thought she was well daft when she did that thing to her hair, and for a stupid ball too. Still, she was funny and told a lot of stories and I don't know why I'm never going to see her again

I don't think you ever get used to it. There's probably something wrong, if you do.

[zanyzacharias]

I think it's very easy to get used to it, actually. It's a lot harder to insist on not forgetting, while still going on with life.

Good job on that house cup, by the by. Bout bloody time.

[zanyzacharias]

Why do you even care?

[auror_moody]

WHAT SORT OF QUESTION IS THAT?

[zanyzacharias]

It's a perfectly acceptable question and I asked you first!

[pssstguesswhat]

its not fair, zachi, and you shouldn't get used to it because it's NOT RIGHT.

[zanyzacharias]

Thank you for summing up in just one sentence what I was trying to say, Hannah.

[pssstguesswhat]

its not a hard idea, zachi.

i don't understand why more people don't understand it.

EVERYONE'S different and EVERYONE'S special and everyone touches everyone else and all of it matters and NO ONE SHOULD DIE.

except maybe grandparents in bed happily.

They might understand, they just don't care. Or don't want to care.
