Relative levelheadedness.

Oh, man. I'm in such denial but the fact that Hermione says so is battering at that. Disbelieving Hannah and the Prophet is one thing but Hermione is speaking so authoritatively....

What makes it worst is that George was one of the most alive characters in NA. Even more so than Fred really.

His origami dragon icon was always one of my favorites. It was so cute. oh no ohno. It can't be.

They've never killed off someone major or loved before. But. That comfort only goes so far. Because this is NA and they love changing the rules on their fans.

It's absolutely horrible the way they were found, too.

And Fred's "okay" by comparison but he's really not. You don't recover from things like this and even though he's not as dramatically hurt as the others...

He was always the most sensitive of the three really. The whole "Wales" thing way back when and all. oh no.

(parent)

xnera @ April 17 2004, 23:32:00 UTC

Yes, this. Once your paid account expires, you go back to having only three user pictures. And LiveJournal automatically chooses them for you from the ones most commonly used. Also, any old posts/comments you made will keep the userpic used, unless that userpic is deleted and replaced with another.

I see from their allpics page that they now have more than three userpics, some of which are george, so my guess is their paid account time had expired and they just renewed it today.

I've had to lock up the shop for the twins, I went to see them yesterday and they were out as usual, left it unlocked, irresponsible as usual!

well, if they were really out, then came back, then Charlie showed up. It'd depend on whether or not he'd gone to Diagon before the Burrow, I'd guess. And, if Molly were in the shop after Charlie had already arrived and his bags were found there, wouldn't she have seen them?

Either way, she'd have to be hating herself right now.

off-topic from this horror, but still horrific...

This is their 7th year, right? In the RPG? Were they planning to continue the game after 7th year ended? I mean, it's set up around the premise of computers at school and required use, so, if they're not in school anymore, what's the point?

I guess I'm asking could this be leading up to some grand "finale"?

I'm not sure about the original "life-expectancy" of NA, or what the players think about continuing, but it would be possible to reason out a plot where the characters keep posting on their journals.

But there's definitely going to be some serious grand-finale type stuff coming up even if the game doesn't end, I think ...

Do you know what I just thought of? How is Percy going to react to this? At once he's the uber-Ministry member and they are going to have a standard Ministry reaction to this--Such a Shame Really But This Is What Happens and There Can't Be Any Threat--but at the same time he's a Weasley. I have a feeling he's going to be terrifically conflicted soon and I really wonder which way his loyalties will fall ultimately.

Which could be interesting, because I can't shake a gut feeling that the Ministry is not lily-white when it comes to DE involvement.

Draco's "model son" icon? No, he's had it for a while.

I really hope he's using it for Lucius' sake and not because he's actually considering following in his footsteps.

I don't know if I can take this much longer. Must...find...distraction...

lazy_daze @ April 17 2004, 23:57:44 UTC

I hate it when DE issues come up involving Lucius and Draco - the idea of Draco being involved with something like this and being like his father is horrible, but Draco's always so agreeing and obedient and omg he doesn't really agree with all this does he??? *wibbles further*

aaack how is Harry going to react to whatever Draco winds up doing?

(parent)

lazy_daze @ April 18 2004, 00:04:00 UTC

I know!!! it's like a choice between the two and i remeber, possibly during th Q&As, Draco saying he wouldn't hesitate to choose his father over harry. i hope that's fucking changed - i hope draco, seeing how much this will affect harry, will change his mind - how can he mindlessly follow his father?? after his? 'accomplished' indeed!!!! *big black ball of hate*

(parent)

ungemmed @ April 18 2004, 00:06:26 UTC

Except that after the recent fight and Draco's repeated insistence that he wouldn't change himself for Harry.... oh no.

Maybe the fact that it's DEATH and INSANITY and DEATH might jolt Draco into having some decency. I really hope so.

I think Draco's always known it would be incredibly dangerous to disobey his Father in Voldemort-related matters, and this whole Weasley situation can only have made that clearer. I don't believe this is the catalyst for Draco to take a stand against him, either. I'll bet he's even more afraid than he was before, and will continue to appear obedient. For now.

(parent)

ungemmed @ April 18 2004, 00:08:50 UTC

That's a good point--that if it's not enough to jolt Draco out of his quasi-complacency (it's not complacency at all but it looks like it sometimes) it'll probably only cement his father's hold over him. WAH

(parent)

lazy_daze @ April 18 2004, 00:14:16 UTC

Hopefully it's all building up like a pressure cooker (you expect decent similes in a time of such stress??) and something will be the last straw, possibly something directly affecting harry - and he'll denounce his father and fall in love with harry and come over to the side of light in a blaze of glory :DD! That comment started off well meaning and degenerated into my private NA fantasies *sigh* :P but if we can't dream at a time like this when can we?

(parent)

hated_and_loved @ April 18 2004, 00:19:05 UTC

I agree. I certainly don't think he's eager to become a Death Eater, but the longer Draco waits, the harder it's going to be to get out.

When will he decide he doesn't want to be a part of death and torture? When they make him cast his first Cruciatus on a person? Or an Avada Kedavra? When Voldemort burns a Dark Mark onto his arm? When Harry is killed? It'll already be too late. He needs to get out before any of this happens, but I think he might be too afraid.

(parent)

ungemmed @ April 18 2004, 02:28:21 UTC

That's it exactly. But the thing about Draco is he's at heart a wishful thinker. He's not going to want to think about the ultimate repercussions of siding with his father. I don't think he has the stomach to commit those kinds of atrocities but he'll block out the idea that he might have to commit them in the future. He'll only see the immediate implications: his father's horrible anger if he sides with Harry and the Weasleys.

I actually wouldn't put to high a chance on Draco surviving if he decides to defy his father. Lucius doesn't precisely seem the filial-affection "I disagree but won't stand in your way" type. But wah! I want Draco to get out. And enter something like witness protectionish. And be required to "pose" as Harry's boyfriend as part of said identity protection.

hated_and_loved @ April 18 2004, 03:21:21 UTC

And it won't ease his fears to have this latest brutal reminder that no one is safe from the Death Eaters, not entirely. They got to the Weasleys, a family who's thisclose to Harry-The-Hero-Potter without anyone even noticing that something was wrong for days. I'm sure it seems like if Lucius wants him dead, then he'll be dead, just like that. Of course I want him to get out from under the influence of his father, but there aren't any guarantees of his safety if he does. I think it will take something huge, something that really hits home for him, for Draco to willingly put himself in danger.

Maybe if Millicent or Pansy gets hurt? Or Harry?

Me either:

Certainly we'd be at a loss were we to lose Draco, with no replacement in store.

Yeah. It was Monday Remus posted that. Molly said (on Wednesday) that she locked up the shop on Tuesday, so the attack must have happened on Monday. Damn. I was waiting for the other shoe to drop, but I sure wasn't expecting this.
