"Yeah, both sides. They're all fucked up man. Everyone in this war is fucked up. Got tortured by an Order member the other day, that wasn't fun. Then got back to HQ and Black makes me go after this woman...my friends girlfriend, my friends pregnant girlfriend. Slit her throat. Had to. Black made me." I stop, "And hey, now I've just gone and told you that, probably won't want to talk me out of killing myself next time."

I stare at him a while and then slowly shake my head.
"No, maybe not," I say softly, swallowing.
That's sick.
Everything is pretty sick. You think Saphire's perfect? How the hell many times are you going to be surprised when acquaintances and friends turn out to be sick fucks?
I shake my head and look at the ground.
"Orders, huh?" I ask with something like a laugh.

I notice how uncomfortable he is, "Yeah, orders. More blackmail than anything. Otherwise I wouldn't do the shit I'm ordered to."

I nod slowly.
"So... why not join the Order? Find a way to... not have to do what you're ordered to?"

"You think I'm welcome with the Order? I've cut down at least four of their members now. I'm not welcome over there. Plus the dark lord is most disastisfied with treachory as you can imagine."

I tilt my head. "Good point. But can't you find a way to... bend the orders?"
Not that I have any idea why I'm trying to dictate how you should live your life.

"Bend the orders? No, they're pretty clear. Good like that, those bastards. No room for error." I mutter bitterly, "Too late anyway. Already done half of the current order. Although I'll be in deep shit when they realised I failed. But I did what I was told, not my fault she survived, is it?" I ask, although it was a rhetorical question.
I didn't think he'd want to answer anyway.

I raise my eyebrows and nod, staying silent.
Hell, I might've joined the Death Eaters myself if not for the sheer stupidity of most of their goals. And I haven't got the guts to join the Order. Who am I to judge?

"I'm not a pyscho," I say after a moment, "I'm honestly not. I don't enjoy it. Just to clarify."

I smile slightly. "I believe you. And I think I'd still try to talk you out of it again."
I feel slightly sickened with myself after I say this, but I don't take it back.
This war is fucked, that's all.

"Thanks. It's appreciated. At least there are still decent people around."
You're freaking him out. Why do you have to make it obvious about what you are?
So they know what they're getting into by talking to me.

I snort. "Yeah, maybe."
I glance around for a change of subject.

I laugh abruptly and for real. "No kidding." I shake my head and swallow hard to stop the laughter. "So... um... quidditch." I shrug and shake my head again. "Hey, why not?"

"Quidditch...don't know much about quidditch. You a fan?"

Post by Jake Moore on Aug 10, 2007 16:08:50 GMT
I shrug. "Not really. That would have required me to look up from my books. I've always liked Quidditch games because it means that everyone else leaves the castle. It was just the first thing I thought of."

"Oh, okay. So...into books then?" I ask, although it wasn't hard to work out he was, it was just for the sake of asking something.

"Yeah... like I said, I should've been a Ravenclaw. Too dumb in real life though. So... what do you like?" I shrug.

"Not much really," I reply, "I walk around alot. Clear my head."

"Well, that's good." I shrug. "Having a clear head is always good."

((Hmm... this is fizzling out slightly now that you have your will to live and we're not talking about murder....))

I laugh. "So... what's your family like?" I ask without thinking. Then I wince. "Sorry. First thing that came to mind again."

I laugh, "Parents killed themselves, so I don't know what they're like. Adopted by a pure blood family when I was 6. Adopted father killed himself, he was a sadistic bastard. Adopted mother's still alive, she's a nosy hag. Adopted brother was murdered in front of me, he was a psychopath but all the same. Then my real brother and my real sister found me and now they've been murdered too, they were the nicest people I've ever met. Real great family life I've got going, but that's okay cos I'm gonna have my own family now." I pause, "So, what about yours?"

I laugh rather tactlessly and then smile without humor. "Muggle parents just got murdered... never liked my dad much but my mom did not deserve that. And my sister is a slut but she's my twin, so... we stick together." Then I frown. "You're going to have your own family?"

"Sorry about that shit. Kind of sucks, huh?" I say, "Yeah, my own family," I force a weak smile, "Knocked up my girlfriend. Not the most intelligent thing I've ever done. But supposed to stick around now, right?"

"Terrifying," I agree.

I laugh again and shrug. "Another reason I can use against you if I have to."
