Current mood: blank

Tread softly.
We are home.

Harry has gone back to school, as well as Sirius, leaving the house empty and hollow. I'm closing everything up and going back to Hogsmeade to give Gavin instructions on running the shop for a bit, and then I am going back to London to visit with Charlie, and look in on Fred. I don't know what to do. There isn't anything to be done, though I would like to find the people responsible and tear them apart. It would not bring George back, or Charlie.

I have had it with certain people who cannot keep their fat mouths shut during times such as these. People who speak with obvious guilt, though I don't think guilt is the right word for it, because that would imply regret for one's actions and I don't think this particular creature is capable of basic human emotion beyond being an enormous jackass. The sheer lack of tact being displayed is sickening, and I suggest that those sorts of people keep a great distance from other sorts of people, if they would like to maintain the same number of body openings that they were born with.

This weekend an author by the name of Diana Prevaleça is making an appearance at Wherebooks. She writes self-help guides and the like. I hope that I will have more enthusiasm for this later, but for now I simple wish I didn't have to bother. I don't really want to do much of anything, at the moment. Though I wouldn't mind nipping out to Hogwarts to see Sirius, and Harry. I wish I didn't have to let either out of my sight.

Italy was lovely. I have a tan for the first time in my life, and Sirius taught Harry how to surf.

I have to go now.

If you are in need of any assistance this weekend, Remus, I would be glad to help.


lupercus @ 2004-04-19 08:32 pm UTC


I don't need any assistance.

All right then, Remus. I just thought I would offer seeing as I am free this weekend and we've not been able to visit for a time. I have no doubt of your organisational skills, however. This weekend will surely be a success.

I do not think we shall visit again, Mrs Malfoy.

I'm afraid I don't understand, Cousin.

lupercus @ 2004-04-19 08:51 pm UTC


As it has nothing to do with shopping or food, I did not think that you would.

blondenarcissa @ 2004-04-19 08:53 pm UTC

I understand more than shopping or food, something of which I had thought that you were aware.

(parent)
lupercus @ 2004-04-19 08:56 pm UTC

I thought so too.

I see now that I was mistaken.

Are we done here? I have more important things to do, than to speak with a Death Eater's wife.

(parent)
blondenarcissa @ 2004-04-19 09:02 pm UTC

You were not mistaken.

No, we are not done here. I don't particularly care for the tone I am full aware you are using nor do I care for such open accusations against Lucius.

lupercus @ 2004-04-19 09:04 pm UTC


Yes, of course. I ought to lie back and allow him to speak of the Weasleys as he does, when they have just lost two children and very nearly a third. Of course, how stupid of me to be offended. Whatever was I thinking?

(parent)
blondenarcissa @ 2004-04-19 09:07 pm UTC

I was not suggesting that you lie back and let anyone speak of the Weasleys in such a manner. That is not what I was suggesting at all. Clearly I was pointing to your refering to my husband as a Death Eater. I used to understand your way of thought quite well, Remus, but as of right now I do not know what you are thinking.

lupercus @ 2004-04-19 09:17 pm UTC


You deny that he is one? Are you serious, woman?

(parent)
blondenarcissa @ 2004-04-19 09:44 pm UTC

Clearly I cannot communicate with any further as you are being far too belligerent.

(parent)
lupercus @ 2004-04-19 09:51 pm UTC


That's right, run away. God forbid you answer a direct question.

God forbid you be direct about anything in your life.

(parent)
blondenarcissa @ 2004-04-19 09:55 pm UTC

I, unlike other people I know, do not run away. I am merely giving you space until you calm down enough to approach me in a rational manner.

You require directness of me?

Fine, Remus.

You are lashing out at me without having taken the time to analyse specific situations from all angles. I suggest you do a bit of revisement and hold your tongue lest you bite it off.

(parent)
lupercus @ 2004-04-19 10:00 pm UTC


You want me to be rational? Fine. I am rationally disappointed and disgusted with you and your family, and your behaviour after the attack on the Weasleys. You are so shallow that I have hit my head on this conversation. You obviously have no feelings in that cold, hard shell you call a body. You are a statue, of stone and no substance, pleasant to look at but entirely useless otherwise. An ornament.

I thought very highly of you at one time but after reading the things you have had to say over the last few days, I can see that I was an idiot. I never should have hoped you could be more than what you actually are. I never should have thought you weren't anything like the family you married into.

I give up. Have a nice life, Mrs Malfoy. I hope the Mark matches your decor.

blondenarcissa @ 2004-04-19 10:24 pm UTC

I am beyond horrified at your crass and base behavior. If you are so quick to judge me, Remus, then you are certainly not the man that I have held in such high esteem for a very long time. To think that I have trusted you and confided in you to only have you turn around and think the worst of me on a seeming whim and without a scrap of validation!

If you have intended to hurt me with your words, Remus, then you shall be pleased to know that you have done so. I am no statue. I am no ornament. I am a Peltier and I am not to be trifled with.

You are not an idiot by any means but, by Merlin, you are an obstinate ass. I do hope you are satisfied with yourself, as I would be ashamed of myself were I you.

Have a pleasant day, Remus, and do mind your silver intake. I would be melancholy otherwise.

(parent)
lupercus @ 2004-04-19 10:32 pm UTC


The day you are melancholy for any other reason than a broken nail will be a red letter day indeed.

If you think I've no cause to feel this way I suggest you take a good, hard look at yourself and the things you said before you try to play the martyr here.

As I said, I am disappointed in you. And I am done.

blondenarcissa @ 2004-04-19 10:51 pm UTC

seamus_f @ 2004-04-20 12:31 am UTC

Charlie.

We left everything as it was in the flat. Thank you for that; it helped.


lupercus @ 2004-04-20 02:36 am UTC


It was no trouble at all. You are welcome to use it whenever you like.

Are you all right?

I have a date with Harry at the weekend, but if you can get away on Sunday I would like to see you.

(parent)
seamus_f @ 2004-04-20 02:56 am UTC

Thank you.

I will never be all right, I expect, but I have my distractions, my outlets. As you see.

I would like that very much. Shall I come by the shop? What time is good? Mind, I must return rather early, unfortunately. But I suspect we have much to discuss.

(parent)
lupercus @ 2004-04-20 04:15 am UTC


I do see. Enjoying yourself then, are you?

Come by the shop. I'll be there, but we're closed on Sundays. Knock thrice, widdershins, and you'll be let in. (Won't work for everyone, however, so feel special.)

(parent)
seamus_f @ 2004-04-20 04:23 am UTC

After a fashion. Though I wish there were no reason to.

I do feel special, thank you. I will be there with bells on.
