"Ummm..." I say trailing off, knowing it was going to seem whorish. "I was fourteen."

I raise my eyebrows briefly, shaking my head. "Well... then I guess it does make sense that you would sort of... wish you could do other things."

"I grew up so fast. Especially since I was the Dark Ruby..." I whisper the last part as quietly as I could.

I frown slightly, not catching the last part except 'I' and 'dark' but I decide not to press it.
"Lot of people grow up fast, these days," I shrug. "But having a kid at fourteen...."

"I know. You promise not to tell anyone, but do you know who the Dark Ruby was?" I ask him a little louder.

I frown very slightly again, but shake my head, not understanding what this has to do with anything. "No, I'm afraid I don't...."

"The reason why I grew up fast, was because I was the Dark Ruby. When I was an eight year kid, who was under the imperious curse by my father to kill a massive amount of people, and was sent to askaban. They freed me, and I felt as if I was in my twenties... so I settled down." I say with a sigh.

I take a deep breath, feeling like I maybe haven't been breathing properly, after that story, and raise my eyebrows. "I'm sorry," I say after a moment, shaking my head. "I had no idea."

"That's different. Usually once I say I'm the Dark Ruby everyone panics and runs away. " I say looking at the ground.

I laugh slightly, without humor, also looking at the ground. "Doesn't change who you are now, for one thing. But I'd honestly never heard of you... didn't pay much attention, I guess."

I nod slightly. "I remember it being on the Daily Prophet, but anyway... I'm not that person ever." I say in a stern tone, hating my past with a passion. "My childhood ended when I was seven."

I nod solemnly, feeling like I can relate, if only to a very small extent.

"So, anyway now that you know a fraction of my past." I say with a sigh.

"And an interesting fraction it is...." I mutter under my breath.

"What did you say?" I ask, hearing a muffled sound coming from him.

I shake my head. "Nothing important."

"You better not be lying..." I say sensing the feeling that he was.

"No, I'm not. It wasn't important," I shrug. "And it also wasn't insulting for once."

I nod slightly, when he says the second part. "Alright then. Do you have anything to talk about?" I ask him.

Post by Fitzy Patricks on Jan 24, 2008 15:33:23 GMT
I pause a moment, trying to make up my mind about that. Let's see... anything you probably want to hear? I'd imagine not. The ache and guilt I've been ignoring flare up a little now, but I suppress them again angrily.
"Not particularly," I shrug. "You have anything else to talk about?"

"Well. Is it bad to love two people?" I ask him, biting my lip.

Post by Fitzy Patricks on Jan 25, 2008 17:39:50 GMT
I cough slightly over a laugh, raising my eyebrows. Anything to talk about other than that?
"I really wouldn't know," I shrug, shaking my head. "Is it bad to kill your sister in an attempt to make your conscience shut up about the murder of your other sister?" I blurt out before I can attempt to stop myself.

"I... what?" I stare at him wide eyed. "You. You killed Arden?" I say in a whisper, comepletely overhelmed in shock.

Fuck. Someone else who knew her.
I close my eyes briefly, silently cursing whatever screwed-up part of my brain thought it would be funny to let that slip out. I nod after a moment, eyes still closed, not saying anything.

"Fitzy... tell me. Please say you didn't." I look at him.

"Well, that would be a lie, so sorry," I say harshly, looking at her. I'm not entirely certain why I'm being snappish, unless it's the fact that she seems bothered and that's making the guilt worse again.

Post by Shelby Chou on Jan 25, 2008 21:56:54 GMT
I sigh. "Fitzy, why would you do that?" I say looking at my hands now, ignoring the fact he was using an unpleasant tone.

"Because she annoyed me, why do you think?" I mutter sarcastically, then sigh. "Orders. Because I was an idiot and they didn't now if I was loyal. So I killed her, and then Trisha too for good measure. Anything else you want to know?"
You're the one who brought it up, idiot.

Post by Shelby Chou on Jan 25, 2008 22:11:35 GMT
"No Fitzy. I just wish that you would try and be a spy for the order, not work for the dark lord." I say to him in a whisper.

I laugh slightly at that, shaking my head with genuine amusement. "Yeah, that sounds like a good idea... maybe then the next time my loyalty's questioned I can kill you, or Kyra or something. Or my other little sister since I've still got one left." I shake my head, serious now. "That's what got me into this mess, is thinking about that."
