Current mood:enraged

A Journal Entry
by Harry James Potter, aged seventeen years, three hundred and thirteen days.

A gift to the masses from the Boy Who Lived.

A symphony of words.

A touching demonstration of my fondness for the little people, as shown by my ability to continue interacting with them despite the fact that I am, of course, above all of this, which is why I usually do not bother with updating this journal.


To my best estimate, I awoke at 07.47 yesterday morning. I took one look at the mirror beside my bed and thought, 'It's good to be Harry Potter' before giving my reflection its customary good morning wink. Whistling a tuneless tune, I voyaged valiantly to the shower and checked for shades of evil lurking in the shadows. Seeing that there were none, I proceeded. Afterwards, I carefully arranged my hair out of place and speckled water onto my glasses so that people would continue to wonder how I can possibly see out of them for all the spots on the lenses.

For breakfast, I evidently ate enough toast to feed my little friend Ron Weasley's entire family for a year, along with a healthy glass of milk. I enjoy bread, as it reminds me of the time I swam the Channel and built a makeshift raft out of stale bread. I, of course, always make certain to get enough Calcium on a daily basis. Should I find out that anyone else doesn't meet the Calcium requirement, I shall likely have you killed and/or thrown out of Hogwarts. I can do that, you see. For I am Harry Potter. We all know that I'm running the show.

After breakfast it was a quick stop to Dumbledore's office to advise him on financial matters and then I was off to Double Charms. We've been learning the Patronus Charm and since I already know all I need to know, Professor Flitwick awarded me with a brand new home just off of Vienna. The property deeds shall be here soon. I also received six hundred house points for Gryffindor due to the fact that I slept in what Flitwick deemed 'an angelic manner.' The Ravenclaws were stunned and broke into a spontaneous standing ovation.

On the way to lunch, several first years handed me gold for honouring them with my presence in the corridor. I paused to ponder the wonders of being me and stood at the window poetically, watching the inferior sunlight on the courtyard. I made a note to myself to ask that the sun be dimmed so that it's no longer brighter than my the gleam of my teeth and continued to the Great Hall.

My lunch was served on a silver platter, which invoked needless jealousy in my peers, but as I informed them that I'd developed a way to rid the world of freckles, they got over it. I spoke at length about world hunger and had one of the other Gryffindors start a row with a Slytherin who was wasting food. Good lord, I simply cannot stand to see others waste food. It's an abomination, and I, Harry Potter, shan't stand for it any longer.

I perused a copy of The Daily Prophet, and seeing there were only the requisite five articles about me in this edition, passed it on to Colin Creevey. I am so giving.

Today was a lengthy day, given that we had Double Charms in the morning and Double Herbology after lunch. Professor Sprout asked me to teach the class in her place, as she was forced to recognise that I know more about Herbology than she does, but I demurely declined. She seemed insulted, but opted not to say anything, as she likely knew that I would beat her to a bloody pulp if she did. Professors.

I did have a conversation with that Hermione Granger, but I can't be bothered to remember the details any longer.

After Herbology, Draco Malfoy forced me to watch while he worked tirelessly on repairing the robes that got burnt the other evening. I suppose I could have helped to make the task easier. I, however, would have none of this and decided to sit lazily on the table whilst summarising my day for him in immaculate detail. I do wish that I could be as stoic as Draco Malfoy. There he was, a set of robes singed, and did he complain? As a matter of fact, he didn't. Upon discovering that his task was fruitless, he instead threw them in the dustbin without a word about the loss of his robes, which even burnt were in far better condition than mine. Draco Malfoy is a veritable god, and even my heroic glow is dulled in his presence.

His skin is so flawless, and mine is so flawed. I must admit, I'm quite jealous that I've never managed to keep up with him in lessons. I'm quite concerned about the potion we're to brew on Friday, but Malfoy seemed to have things under control. I sought his precious advice, but even so I am certain that my potion shall be a mere shadow of his. Oh, to be a Malfoy.

A few hours later, I was honoured to walk to the Great Hall in the presence of Draco Malfoy. I enjoyed dinner and alot of small talk with that redheaded fellow you frequently see me with. We discussed putting a Quidditch game together, but I doubt that he shall have the time, given that he's constantly busy hanging off the breast of one of the Patil twins.

I slept fitfully last night, which was rather worrisome. I shall have to force myself to sleep earlier this evening, despite the fact that this likely means I will end up going to bed immediately after dinner. How will I digest?

I'm currently in the library waiting to go to Transfiguration, as I've a free spot on Thursday mornings. I've just informed Draco Malfoy of a dream I had last night in which I was being chased by a ravenous piece of toast that was evidently tired of being eaten by me. I'm clearly disturbed.

Potter, allowing Malfoy to update your journal for you is not working in your favour. This is not going to earn you extra credit upon grading.

Wow, Harry, that is a particularly sexy photo you have there. New?


just_harry @ 2004-06-10 04:26 pm UTC

Yeah, it's new. Although I don't think it's really, you know, great or anything, it's just me.

(parent)
seamus_f @ 2004-06-10 04:39 pm UTC

How can you say that? Look at it! It's got this nice slightly yellow lighting, likely from a candle, and it's shading one side of your face, and you can see a bit of your neck there, as your tie is untied (and a little bit of undressing is always, always sexy) and your lips are parted ever so slightly (which is the international signal for "you know you want to kiss me") and your eyes are half closed and looking off to the side, and your hand is just barely brushed up against your neck, and your shoulders are a bit lopsided, not square, and you look just generally dissheveled.

Please, if it weren't for other circumstances, I'd shag you anytime, you know that. Dean and I were even thinking of helping you out but we reckoned you'd be uncomfortable with that.

(parent)
just_harry @ 2004-06-10 04:56 pm UTC

Um. Okay yeah, I think that would be a little uncomfortable. I mean, thanks? Er. This is awkward.

(parent)
seamus_f @ 2004-06-10 05:21 pm UTC

Why? What in the world is awkward about this? It isn't as though anything is likely to actually happen. It isn't as though any of that was really a surprise to you. Really, Harry, own your sexuality, man. Use it. In all of the conversations we've had about dressing and other things, that was all I was really trying to say.

I mean, if I were to actually try anything Dean would kick me from here to Tashkent and back so I don't think you need to worry about my molesting you in your sleep.

Good lord. You weren't worried about that, were you?

(parent)
just_harry @ 2004-06-10 05:24 pm UTC

What? No.

What just happened here?

(parent)
seamus_f @ 2004-06-10 05:30 pm UTC

I don't know. I said your picture was sexy, you said you didn't know about that, I told you why, and then you said you felt awkward, and I said you shouldn't feel awkward about sex because really, it's just sex. You are attractive and you are just going to have to deal with that sooner or later. It's not like, you know, I'm some creepy old man (or, heaven forbid, old woman) perving on you or something.

(parent)
just_harry @ 2004-06-10 05:44 pm UTC

Well I get valentines sometimes. I don't really - I'm not really - I don't think I have that sort of thing going on. I haven't really been thinking about having sex with anybody like that, I mean, like just sex, at least I haven't in a long time and before that it wasn't really any boys anyway. I don't think I'm really attractive or anything, it's kind of weird.

(parent)
seamus_f @ 2004-06-10 05:50 pm UTC

Well, when I said it was just sex, I didn't mean that you should have just sex with people, but that it was just sex, not some enormous mysterious thing like, I dunno, like love, although we've certainly had conversations about that, too, so I don't know why we couldn't have a reasonable conversation about sex.

I am not very good at just having sex with people. I thought I was once, and then it turned out that I wasn't. I also sort of fooled around with someone once or twice, but they are someone I care for anyway, so even though it wasn't a great romance, it sort of wasn't just sex either, if that makes any sense.

So come on, seriously, you've never thought about having sex with anyone that you weren't involved with? Even a passing thought in the corridor, not something you would ever in a million years act on? Please, you are human, aren't you?

Also, I don't use this icon enough.

(parent)
just_harry @ 2004-06-10 06:12 pm UTC

I think that icon is the best icon.

I have so! It's not like I'm a prude. I just don't want to have sex with you and Dean! Which I guess is what I meant. Because you said that and that would just be weird. But it's not like I don't think about sex, that isn't what I meant.

It's not really enormous and mysterious but it sort of is, you know? I mean, it probably depends who it's with, but sometimes it is. I mean you - it's not really always that you're just talking about just sex, it's not the same thinking about it or talking about it because you can't really explain it and yeah, I think it is sort of enormous and mysterious. Maybe not the mysterious part, but it is kind of a secret that's alot more huge and important than it sounds like when you talk about it. Thinking about having sex with someone during Herbology is totally different.

And yeah. That makes sense. That's not really a huge thing, I think. But I think I mean I don't really want to do that right now, I guess.

(parent)
seamus_f @ 2004-06-10 06:23 pm UTC

Well, there is certainly no reason for you to fool around with anyone right now. Nor is there any reason for you to have sex with me and Dean. Hopefully there never will be reason to, if you know what I mean.

Of course sex is rather often not just sex. And I will say, for the record, that the sex I have with Dean is like, amazing, because of all the other stuff, and it's even more amazing than it was before, and I'm really hoping that this has absolutely nothing to do with Boot because if it does I will be very cross. But we talk about the not just sex sort of sex all the time, and I was just bringing up the just sex kind right now, because we can talk about that here in public, and we can't talk about the other kind in public really. It's odd, you and I end up talking about all this lovey dovey relationship stuff and "what-do-you-think-he-meant-by-that" and we never talk about "look at the package on that guy." You'd think we were a couple of girls. It's no wonder Ron has no idea what to do with us sometimes.

What we should do some night soon when we simply cannot do one more second of revision is pull out the butterbeer and talk about who we would shag, you know, in a just sex sort of way. Or play I Have Never, though that just ends up being a conversation about sexual technique. Then again, possibly you could teach me something. Just verbally, of course. I don't mean I want a demonstration.

(parent)
just_harry @ 2004-06-10 06:35 pm UTC

No, that's weird to talk about in public. I sound really stupid and people can read this.

If that has anything to do with Boot I think I'm going to be sick. It's Boot.

It's easier to talk to Ron about stuff like that, and easier to talk to you about stuff that's more serious with that. I mean, with Ron it was always about Cho or something, anyway, except Hermione would be there alot and that was sort of weird. Ron would always be really interested and Hermione would be serious so it was strange and now I think it would just be horrible.

I can't think of any boys though, I mean, unless you want to hear about Cho and Fleur and other girls who can read this and I'm not going to say. Maybe - okay, everyone can read this. So that would be better, with butterbeer. I don't know if I'd be very good at I have never though, and now you're making me feel self conscious! Which, okay, that's not really different from before.

As long as we're not going to talk about my pictures being sexy, anyway. Now I can't stop looking at it.

(parent)
seamus_f @ 2004-06-10 07:02 pm UTC

You don't sound stupid. There is something to be said for public declarations of love, you know. Not the details, but saying, "I love so-and-so"--that's very powerful, to the other person. I would stand up at the top of the North Tower and scream "I love Dean Thomas" at the drop of a hat, frankly. I don't care who knows. Anyway, you never sound stupid when we talk privately so I wouldn't worry about that.

I am so glad you said that about Boot, as I had a secret fear that you would suddenly say, "Oh, you know, I always quite fancied him, wouldn't mind giving him a go" which would likely make me violently ill.

Really, no boys yet? What about famous ones? Kirley McCormack? Some Cannons player? But that can wait until butterbeer.

I have nothing more to say about your picture being sexy, actually, although I think it is very funny that you can't stop looking at it.

I think you should make a post and invite the lads to butterbeer tomorrow night and a ripping game of I Have Never, and maybe then McG will get off your case. Also, you could invite your ghostwriter. Ooh, maybe we could even invite the Hufflepuffs? Or would that just weird everyone out? I know that I tend to be overly inclusive. You should do what makes you feel comfortable.

(parent)
just_harry @ 2004-06-10 07:20 pm UTC

I sort of wish you would do that, because I can't help it, it's really funny to imagine you screaming at the top of a tower. I think someone might think you were about to kill everyone.

I think Boot's gross. He wears eyeliner and his shirts look like nets and he seems really crusty. I don't understand Dean about that, but I think I've said that before.

I can't tell the Weird Sisters apart, it's really embarrassing. They're all so hairy and stuff, who is who? I like them and all but I guess I don't know much about them. I love the Cannons but I've never really thought about it. I'll go through one of Ron's books later.

The idea of him and the Hufflepuffs sitting around together is really funny. I wish they would just do something alone so we could watch. Maybe we can tell them we're going somewhere else and then watch to see what they do. I don't mind the Hufflepuffs though, except when they start calling me the new Dark Lord and stuff. And when they call me queer, that's a little uncomfortable. Does Ernie not know you're gay? I mean, didn't he go to your house over hols?

(parent)
seamus_f @ 2004-06-10 08:41 pm UTC

Yeah, but you can like a player for his play and not fancy him, so you could cast your net a bit wider than the Cannons. It isn't all like that football bloke, who's-name, that Dean occasionally says I look like (although I do not), who is dead gorgeous and apparently really very good.

Ernie is oddly, I dunno. He just doesn't pay attention to what he doesn't pay attention to. Remember at Hallowe'en he went as Martin Miggs and suggested that I go as Scorpio Nespoir? Like, did he not notice that I am a Martin/Scorpio supporter? The entire thing was very odd indeed.

But that's what I mean about embracing your sexuality. Queer power! you know, and all that. I would love to watch them in a room together, except then the conspiracy theories would spiral entirely out of control. Maybe we can start calling you the new Light Lord? Nah. That's just silly. I'll just call you Harry, I think.

(parent)
just_harry @ 2004-06-10 08:52 pm UTC

I don't know much about the players on the other teams, except a little about some of the Kestrels and the Falcons. And Meaghan McCormack, I liked her for awhile. And Dean likes David Beckham, and I don't know what he's talking about because David Beckham acts like a girl and he sounds like one too. I don't really know what he's on about with David Beckham.

I think Ernie has selective memory. He kept calling me his fishy king last year but then a few months later it was all Dark Lord stuff again. His costume was cool though. He puts alot of effort into it.

Now you're just making me even more excited to watch that. I mean, I think that in an hour they'd be taking out switchblades.

As long as I don't have to start calling you Finni. Remember when Lavender did that for like a week? That was weird.

(parent)
seamus_f @ 2004-06-10 09:00 pm UTC

Now I want you to have a thing for some Quidditch player so you will use the phrase, "I'd like to ride his broomstick" because that would be very funny.

Fishy king? That's just silly. As was Finni, but we do forgive a great deal of our snogging partners, do we not? No, but you can call me Finn if you want to.

Rumble! Oh, but now we're back to that whole silly West Side Story conversation. I think you were Maria, according to Lisa Turpin. Anyway, I think it's good for him to have to interact with people he doesn't think much of, because I don't like to see him wall himself up the way he does. It can't be good for anyone.

I think we should talk about Dean more. Do you think he should go to art school? Because I do.

(parent)
just_harry @ 2004-06-10 09:10 pm UTC

Okay, can you actually picture me saying that?

Finn would be weird too. I don't think I can make that kind of change at this point in our friendship. I'm too committed to saying Seamus. You're asking too much.

I've never seen West Side Story, but why am I someone called Maria? Shouldn't I be Mario? Is there a Mario? I'll be Mario. I think Lisa Turpin meant Mario.

I don't know if it really works. I thought he was getting along with Ron but I was totally wrong. You think he's not really that angry about it and he's overacting but then he really is seriously angry and if you know what I mean, there's a difference between him being irritated and him being actually angry and it's kind of surprising when he's really mad. He gets kind of offended.

I think he should go to university after Hogwarts for art, yeah. It would be different if he weren't Muggle-born probably, but he's so good at drawing and he can't really get much out of that here except in Astronomy. I don't even know if he needs to go to school for it, he's the best artist I know. But he should.

And I think Dean should talk about marzipan more. And Queenie Greenknees should take his hair again, because that was probably the funniest thing ever.

(parent)
seamus_f @ 2004-06-10 09:25 pm UTC

He's so good at Charms. Perhaps he should do an independent thing with Flitwick so he can charm his art to move and things. Some of it is nice but some of it is a little herky-jerky. Not that, you know, he's really had a lot of time to perfect it.

It was funny. I mean, I love his hair, but I also love his head, and frankly I don't care what sort of hair he has, as long as it's still him underneath it. Marzipan and all. He could talk about that more but what I should do is get him some, and then perhaps he'll discuss it. I don't care for marzipan, but what I really hate about it is that they make these miniatures of other things out of it, yeah? But those miniatures are never to scale. They make a peach, and then a banana, and they are the SAME SIZE. I find this upsetting. Never mind that it looks like a little peach but it still tastes like sodding almonds. Can't they do something about that? Though, when he eats it then his kisses taste like amaretto which is sort of nice.

I actually am not asking you to call me anything else. I really rather like my name, actually. (This is the part where I say it's more interesting than James, but I don't want to insult your father, so I will merely say it is more Irish than James.) Would you like a nickname? I could call you Gryffinstud, or That Guy Who Keeps Wearing Violet Even Though We Tell Him Not To.

Someone called Mario could never sing "I Feel Pretty." West Side Story is a musical version of Romeo and Juliet. Maria is Juliet. I don't think Bernstein and Sondheim allowed for a gay couple, but when you think about it, they probably should have.

(parent)
just_harry @ 2004-06-10 09:54 pm UTC

Well I've never noticed anything wrong with the way it moves at all but I can't even tell if a circle is actually round or not. But he has to draw so much more, doesn't he? I think I like drawings that sit still better. Actually I think I'd just like those more if I had to draw them which probably means I'm not really good at art stuff. I liked the banners he used to do for Quidditch all the time, and the picture he did for Sirius and Remus was really really good. I wish he'd do er, people more. Portraits I guess but that sounds really formal. I like the way his people turn out though.

And. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

HAHAHAHAHA.

I mean, that's horrible. I hate when miniatures aren't to scale. Horrible. I haven't really had much marzipan either, but I think it's a brilliant word. If I ever get another pet I'll call it Marzipan, and then Dean will be honoured. I've never had amaretto, either, is it good?

I don't like when they make chocolate with fruit inside, because I like my fruit separate, so I don't mind if it looks like a peach and tastes like almond, but I don't know why they'd make it look like a peach then. Maybe they could make it look like an almond. Or a little sailboat.

I like the name James. I wish my nickname could be Marzipan but that would really have to be Dean. Lisa Turpin called me Harpo once. I'm starting to think Lisa Turpin has alot to answer for. Maybe I'll just be Harry.

I can't sing, so I think I'll be just the wall or something, if that's okay.

(parent)
seamus_f @ 2004-06-10 10:28 pm UTC

Marzipan is a really good name for an owl or a cat, actually. So you don't like chocolate covered cherries? Because I was going to say that amaretto sort of tastes like the syrup in a chocolate covered cherry. Possibly we should procure some amaretto so you can try it. It's quite good.

Dean does excellent people. I like that he does them frequenly with real little backgrounds, instead of sort of just floating in space or something. Yeah, he'd have to just be drawing all the time but I think that's okay. I like his callouses.

Beware Lisa Turpin. She's still Head Girl. Say, you don't know who Head Boy is, do you? Is it you? That would be so like you to be Head Boy and not want anyone to know, but on the other hand, I don't think you would have busted us all for going to Ireland and getting pissed.

It is most certainly NOT okay to be the wall. You have to sing and dance, mostly about boys and Puerto Rico. I am sure there are boys who would move you to sing.

(parent)
just_harry @ 2004-06-10 10:38 pm UTC

No, I like them but not alot. I think they're one of those things where you can eat a little and then you never want them again, but then when you see them again you want them and then you remember after you have some.

I like that too, and the way the backgrounds have different colours instead of just one, and how the backgrounds are dark sometimes because people usually don't do dark backgrounds.

I'm not Head Boy, I kind of wished I was when we got our letters for Hogwarts but I don't really mind. Plus that looks nothing like my handwriting, I can't make my letters that big. Even when I try to write big it's still really thin.

I've never been to Puerto Rico, Seamus. I'm out of the loop.

(parent)
just_harry @ 2004-06-11 12:16 am UTC

It's not all that bad. I don't want him to start being friends with Ron or something anyway. That would be weird. I just meant he's not pretending or something when he says he doesn't want to do something, or I mean, he's not always and if you think he is and just do it anyway he gets really offended like you're trying to change him. Then I feel bad about it because I wouldn't want someone to make me sit around with Crabbe and Goyle or to act like I should. Which, you guys aren't Crabbe and Goyle, but maybe you are from the other side of things. Er, don't take that the wrong way.

(parent)
seamus_f @ 2004-06-11 01:04 am UTC

It's difficult, because it isn't clear when he's being all, "Convince me" and when he's being all, "No bloody way in hell." Mine is much more obvious. I do generally know when he will and when he will not.

But is it weird that we are, well, I don't know if we're friends any more after some things he said, but whatever we were/are? I know it was for you at one point but I think you moved on from that anyway. I don't want for that to be weird for you, since the only reason I ever started talking to him in the first place was you anyway.

(parent)
just_harry @ 2004-06-11 01:12 am UTC

I know, but it gets easier to tell because he says funny things when he's not seriously angry, and when he is everything he says is much shorter. Or else he talks for ten minutes and gets really red and angry and then you feel like an arse because you didn't think he was really that mad.

Dean swears at least, so, you know, that makes it easier to tell.

I don't mean it's weird like that, just that he doesn't like Ron and I don't want him to start liking Ron because we're friends, or to pretend he likes Ron, because that would just be really weird to watch. I mean, if you want to be friends, go ahead, I don't really mean it like that and you probably get along better anyway because you can talk about stuff that I don't get. I don't really get paper dolls. I don't really fit in there.

(parent)
seamus_f @ 2004-06-11 01:28 am UTC

Well, Dean makes me feel like an arse sometimes in other ways so I think it's all in the game, or something. But yes, the profanity is a great help.

No, we wouldn't want you to suddenly like paper dolls as that would be very, very strange. I don't think you can like paper dolls and save the universe, actually.

I don't assume they will be gazing at mine. I just have a hunch. I could be wrong. As for me I think my gaze will be drawn elsewhere.

Your head is not fat, and if your cheeks are wide it's because you have open features. That's better than having a narrow, rodent-like face, right?

I'm not trying to get you to dress differently. It's just that you could wear one of Boot's gnarled net shirts and still look look brill. Same applies to rugby shirts.

All of our thighs spread, except Harry's, and he's skinny and we all know that, so he doesn't actually count. And if you cut your thighs off I don't think you'll be able to walk, so that isn't really a viable option.

If you think I'm going to sit around drinking cheap beverages with Longbottom of all people, you're quite mistaken. I'm not even going to dignify the Hufflepuffs with a response.

You are very reliant on email notifications, you know. There are people who don't get them.

I think that it is nice to know that you are invited even if you don't come. I don't think anyone really expects you to come up here and play poker with us. But you don't have to be so contemptuous of everything all the time. You could just say, "No, thank you."

(parent)
potterstinks @ 2004-06-12 04:24 am UTC

It's not my fault if someone hasn't turned it on. They should find my comment on their own.

I'm only contemptuous of things deserving my contempt. An evening of butterbeer with the Gryffindors and Hufflepuffs. Please. You asked for it.

(parent)
seamus_f @ 2004-06-12 04:34 am UTC

I didn't ask for it, actually. I suggested to Harry that since we were gathering we might want to invite some other people, including but not limited to you, Ernie and Justin. I've found that you think that a great many things are deserving of contempt, including people very important to me, and I really can't be bothered to keep track of all of them. So if you'd prefer it, I can simply not invite you to anything else, but I'm certainly not going to be selective about it. Anyway, it was a gesture to Harry more than to you.

Okay, what?

You don't want to be invited for yourself, and you don't want to be invited as a gesture to Harry, but I reckon if you weren't invited at all you would be pitching some fit or another. I give up. What do you want, Malfoy? Because all of this fencing is really unnecessary.

(parent)
potterstinks @ 2004-06-12 05:09 am UTC

No, actually, I'm appalled that I was invited at all, but I certainly don't want to be spoken of as though I'm Potter's handbag.

(parent)
seamus_f @ 2004-06-12 05:16 am UTC

Why on earth do you keep saying that? In what way were we speaking of you as a handbag?

And fine, I shan't invite you to anything else, then, if you would rather not. Unless you'd like to break this down into rough categories for me. Though I still don't understand what the bloody hell is the matter with saying, "No, thank you." And it certainly isn't as though you care if your behaviour is appalling to anyone else.

(parent)
potterstinks @ 2004-06-12 05:21 am UTC

'Well, we invited you in case Potter needed someone to hold his butterbeer for him.' You've not invited me for my sake, you've invited me as window dressing.

(parent)
seamus_f @ 2004-06-12 05:39 am UTC

Okay, you point out to me where anyone said that.

Are you insane? Do you think that's what that meant? Honestly. Would I think that you would enjoy sitting around in Gryffindor Tower playing I Have Never? Likely not. Should you be invited? Of course, because you are an adult and if you don't care to come, you can just say no, thank you. I don't really understand what part of this concept is so difficult for you.

Do you just want me to sift through everything that I do and stop and think, should I invite Malfoy? I would rather, frankly, invite you to more things, than make it seem that you are not included in something. I cannot understand why it would upset you to be included in something. I honestly just can't. Because you see, I am not you, and I am not always going to be able to perfectly predict when you want to be included and when you don't. Even Harry can't. And frankly, I don't want to have to worry about upsetting you every time a few people get together, or feel stressed and stay up at night thinking, "Would Malfoy enjoy this? Should I ask him, or not? If I don't, will he be offended? If I do, will he be offended?" Would you care to lay out a mutually exclusive list of the things you enjoy and the things you do not so that I can consult it and not make an error?

seamus_f @ 2004-06-12 06:10 am UTC

You know something? I've had about enough of this.

I thought, at one time, that we were becoming friends. I liked you, and it seemed that you liked me. But your behaviour after what happened with Charlie and George was not the behaviour of a friend. Charlie was my boyfriend, and you might have said, "Gee, I'm sorry about what happened with your boyfriend" but you did not. You were contemptuous and insulting. You might have talked things over with other people but you certainly haven't said anything to me. What is respectful about that? What is understanding about that? How is this the act of a friend? But I decided to try my best to let bygones be bygones, and try to be your friend again.

And now, you are pitching this enormous fit over this? Is everything about you, all the time? Do you really think that everyone in this castle sits up late at night thinking about how they can please you, or at the very least not offend you? For this event, and this event only, I thought it would be nice to include you, and you were such an arse about the entire thing—I mean, really, how dare I invite you to something that you might not enjoy—that I said, no, I didn't think you'd like it, but I was trying to be nice. If something came up that I actually thought you might enjoy, yourself, I would invite you to that as well. And you know, I would also invite Harry, just to be nice, and Harry would probably just say, "No, thank you"—as he has in the past, I might add.

I'm just tired of this. You are so cruel about something that means so much to me, and I catch hell for saying one thing one time? What the bloody FUCK, Malfoy?

I am sorry I hurt your feelings. I truly am, because I didn't mean to. And don't worry, I won't hold my breath waiting for you to ever say the same to me.

(parent)
potterstinks @ 2004-06-12 06:52 am UTC

I've not asked you to 'let bygones be bygones' or anything similar, as you would have noticed if you'd taken the time. You're the one who made such a big to-do out of acting as though my remarks didn't bother you, remember? No one cares what I say, or so they'd like me to believe, so why care now?

Also, I don't speak French. Don't be pretentious, it's boring.

Why, our entire relationship was based on pretension. Pot, kettle, Malfoy.

Far be it for me to argue with your astute assessment of my relative importance to the community at large. I confess I should derive no benefit from it. If it pleases, you may imagine me to cherish our days together as a special time, when I was singled out for condescension from one as high and mighty as yourself. You will be mistaken, of course, but I would not begrudge you whatever small portion of cheer is left you.

Typically, you haven't begun at the beginning, but okay. Dean is going to shoot me in the head for this, but if I didn't, then I wouldn't have done my best, so here goes. I am going to explain, very carefully, what I meant by everything I have said, and then you can decide what you want to do about it. And if, at the end of the day, you'd rather not, then fine, we can shake hands, good show, and never speak again.

I came back from a truly horrific Easter holiday in which my boyfriend was attacked, to you saying, well, what you said and getting yourself a bloody nose for it, which granted, I facetiously offered to heal, an offer you understandably declined. And then I said:

2004-04-19 17:59 (link)
Alas, Malfoy! Is our beautiful friendship to end on this sad note, simply because of your complete inability to get your head out of your arse?
I suppose it must. Likely this is for the best. No, no please; let us have no tears. We must face this future bravely. Stiff upper lip, etc. etc.
Crazy what you could have had.

I meant this. And you replied by insulting me, and Charlie:

potterstinks
2004-04-19 18:09 (link)
You don't know anything about what I've ever had or have, Finnigan. Go keep a stiff lip around your catatonic Weasley.

At that point, it seemed to me that it was you who didn't care, you who had made your choice, particularly as you referred to me as cannon fodder, but just to be charitable, after a series of exchanged insults, I said:

seamus_f
2004-04-19 20:10 (link)
Thank you kind sir. But be nice to Harry or he might punch you again. You never know with that one.
Actually, it will make me a superior Healer. And as such, I have this hopeful future diagnosis: Should you ever feel those regrets, those second thoughts, there will be ways to express them.
However I am not holding my breath.

I don't see any closed doors here, Malfoy. I see a lot of hurt feelings, and a lot of things that you said to me that I'm still not entirely happy about. So you can choose to do something about it, or you can walk away. And even if you do, I'm still not closing any doors. But I'm not going to come get you.

(parent)
potterstinks @ 2004-06-12 08:19 am UTC

I quoted the part that I was referring to, clearly.

First of all, if you're getting your knickers in a twist over the fact that I called you cannon fodder, have you had me confused with someone else? I've insulted you far worse than that far more often than that every time I've spoken to you. I imagine I could go find an entire string of comments devoted to my insulting you. Why are people surprised?

Let's see, when have the Weasleys offered condolences to My Family? Somehow I doubt people would be planting trees and posting animated angels if I were to be killed tomorrow. It's the way of the world, Finnigan, and I somehow doubt you'd be the first in line to defend my unrotting corpse. I seem to recall Longbottom cheering when my kneecap was smashed last year. Of course, when it's someone from the Gryffindor side of the world who's been injured, I've to put on my black veil or else have my nose broken.

I couldn't care less about the Weasley family, but given that Potter punched me in the nose, I saw little point in keeping my mouth shut over the entire affair. Since you sounded rather merry and dismissive, how was I supposed to know that you've been brooding over it for two months? Potter's the only person who's actually said anything to me, and actually, yes, I do have my own life and concerns that have nothing to do with the rest of you. Strangely enough, I'm more concerned with my own problems than whether or not you're feeling respected.

What, exactly, would you like me to do, Finnigan? Shall I drink butterbeer and listen to Longbottom's lack of a sense of humour all evening?

(parent)
seamus_f @ 2004-06-12 08:38 am UTC

No.

Malfoy, it wasn't that; as you say, that was merely your usual level of obnoxious. It was that you kicked a man when he was down, and that is not on. And it certainly isn't the act of a friend. Can't you tell the difference between someone who doesn't care and someone who is trying very hard to sound like they don't care because it seems the other person doesn't care? You do plenty of that yourself anyway. And possibly the way you were supposed to know is that I haven't spoken to you, at all, in that period of time.

I am also more concerned with my own problems than whether or not you're feeling respected, yet I've spent all evening talking to you about your feeling like a handbag. Seriously, enough. You want everyone else to have you uppermost in their thoughts, but you never think of them. That's what I'm trying to say. I do have some self-respect in here someplace, you know.

And speaking of which, do you even know what goes on in this tower? You do not. Do you know how many people defend you here and now, when you are clearly not dead, when it counts? You do not. So don't bloody start with me about that, Malfoy. I can't imagine anyone I detest more than MB, but if something horrible were to happen to her, yes, I would offer you my condolences, because I might not care for her, but I do care for you. So I don't care, frankly, how much you care about Weasleys. That is clearly not the issue, whatsoever.

(parent)
potterstinks @ 2004-06-12 09:06 am UTC

Oh, yes? Let's fake my death and see what happens.

I've never claimed to be your friend, nor have I claimed to be anybody else's. Yet I continuously get scolded for not acting the part I've been assigned. How should I know when you're pretending you're not bothered? I certainly don't do things like that.

Did I say I wanted you to keep me at the top of your brain? I rather think not. All I said was that I don't want to be invited to things as a gesture to Potter, as first of all, it's insulting that anyone would assume that I'd actually attend something that I would hate as though I don't make any decisions on my own and you can simply decide that I shall go without even asking me personally. I'd prefer not to be invited at all, but if I must be invited to an event, I would miraculously prefer to be invited for my own merit rather than Potter's.

I sent you a Christmas card and invited you to my birthday party, which I feel was rather thoughtful.

seamus_f @ 2004-06-12 09:24 am UTC

Have you decided not to believe me now? Is that what this is? It is becoming remarkably clear that there is absolutely nothing I can do to satisfy you, is there? And you certainly do pretend not to be bothered when you are, and to be bothered when you aren't, to such an extent that no one ever knows what you are on about. You never claim to be anything. Apparently you like to keep your options open, so that you can act just as you please, all the time, and have nothing to answer for. If someone thinks you have acted badly, they are in the wrong; you are always in the right. It gets very tiresome to hear the same old tune from you, endlessly. It makes it very difficult to know where one is with you in any way. You accuse me of this, but I am actually incredibly transparent.

I don't remember anyone assuming you would go. I think inviting people to things is a kind thing to do, and they can choose to accept with thanks or decline with regrets. Clearly you disagree. Very well. I shan't invite you to anything, then. Though, why do you say that my inviting you is offensive, and your inviting me is thoughtful? I admit, I am confused.

The hour is well past late, and our progress is slow. I suggest we take this elsewhere.

(parent)
potterstinks @ 2004-06-12 09:28 am UTC

Because I didn't invite you to be, for instance, thoughtful towards Millicent.

Given that I'm clearly not going to discuss anything personal with you where everyone can choose to read it, I imagine that would be the more clever choice.
