"don't worry about not doing anything," i say hearing his thoughts rubbing his arm slightly then put both of my hands on my stomach. "...i'm not either." i chuckle softly

I look over at her, startled for a minute, and then I nod. "Well, you have a bit of an excuse," I say, nodding down at her stomach. "My best excuse is that I'm worthless and would probably get myself killed while completely screwing up whatever it was I had to do." I pause. "But I'm sure that's just bollocks and I'm really just a coward."

"oi! don't say that you're worthless. i don't care how or what you're saying it aout. you're not worthless." i say looking back up at him "and you're not a coward chance. and if you think you're a coward because you're scarred or something like that, then every single person that knows about the war is a coward. and i've only been pregnant for a little bit and this war has been going on for a little while. i had plenty of time to join before, but i didn't."

"I... yeah, okay. All right," I say, a little startled once again. "I just... I get into these endless circles... 'you should do something' followed by a wave of fear and then 'you'd screw up,' which is the reason I'm afraid and... I dunno. I just wish I could stop the circle and actually make a decision, but both sides have pretty good points." I shrug.

"uhh...sorry i startled you.." i mutter looking away from him. "but it depends, do you actually want to do something or do you just feel a need to?" i ask looking down

"Isn't that the same thing?" I ask, raising my eyebrows. "I want... I don't know. I want this war to end... my little sister's coming to Hogwarts in six years, and I don't want her to have to try and do something. And in the meantime she's out there in the muggle world, where some death eater could just... waltz right up and hurt her for the fun of it, and no one's there to fight back. So I want this war to end, and if I can help end it then I will.... I'm just not sure if I'd make things worse or not."
I stop. Well... that was the longest paragraph I've spoken in a while.

"no theyre not. if you fight will it be because you want to or because you feel you have to." i say, "and chance i highly doubt that you could make things worse."

I grin briefly. "Well... I'm not saying I think I could alter the course of the war for the worse.... But get somebody killed, or... I don't know, learn some important secret and then somehow give it up. I could easily do that. That's why I've stayed out so far." I look down. Want to or have to?
"And it's a mixture of both, I guess. I want to be of help... but part of the reason I want to is because I think I should." I shrug.

"hmmm..." i say sitting there. "i don't think you're memory is that bad that you'd lose it." i chuckle looking up at him but see him looking down so i look back down. "and you thinking you should, is that a big part? or just a small part?" i ask

I think for a minute, trying to sort it all out. "I don't know," I finally shrug, not mentioning that I was more afraid of divulging some important secret under torture than of merely forgetting it.
"How about you? Did you ever... think of joining?" On either side?

"on either side?" i chuckle, "Well there was there was this one point my sister was wanting me to join her side..." i say not really wanting to say voldemorts side. "and then i was thinking about joining the order...but with sirius in it, someone has to stay home and make sure mia and brett are ok."

"Yeah, I guess," I nod. "And I didn't mean to... accuse you or anything."

i laugh softly, "you didn't accuse me or anything chance. you wanted to know so you asked. wish more people were like you."

I shrug and grin. "Sorry. If I can find a counterargument to whatever a person's saying, I usually say it. Or at least think it. Especially, for some reason, if they say something positive. I guess I don't like to agree with people."

Well, there's one goal met, I think with some puzzlement.
"So... are you feeling any better about... things?" I ask, then wonder if I should have brought it up.

I blink and think back. "Uh... well... you were intriguing. You know, hissing at random people that they're doomed and there's no hope.... It was weird and I was curious." I shrug. "Are you seriously telling me that most people wouldn't stop? That no one else would wonder why?"

I look down at the ground and raise my eyebrows. "Wow. That's... weird." I shrug. "I couldn't just walk past... I mean, I did at first, but curiosity took over." Then I pause. "You've been out here for several hours pronouncing people's doom?" I laugh. "Do you know how many small children you've terrified at this point?"

Post by Yumi Baker on Sept 4, 2007 0:24:54 GMT
i laugh with him, "chance did i look like i cared if i scared a child for life when you first walked past me? i vowed to make you have a slow and painful death."

Post by Chance Gracieux on Sept 4, 2007 0:29:18 GMT
I attempt, rather unsuccessfully, to suppress a grin. "Any details on it, or just that it's slow? And painful. Can't forget that."

"Right..." I say, glancing at her sideways. "Is that some new way of saying that you might decide to kill me but have no idea how?"
