[This morning isn't terribly different from any other morning near House 26. The lawn there is a little bit greener than the neighboring homes, and the multicolored plantlife is as healthy as ever, fed a steady diet of the best quality dung Neville can get his hands on. The gardener is even mostly the same, a boy of average height spending far too much time on his hands and knees in the mud getting filthy in the care of things that can't talk back. It's not even very strange to hear him chatting with the vines and petals surrounding him, though this particular morning he seems to be hissing at his garden rather than rambling on in English. For those who recognize it, the language is Parseltongue.]

...And I haven't found a single lead anywhere in this place. I think there just aren't any Horcruxes to be found here. I should talk to Harry or Luna about this, shouldn't I? ...No, you're probably right. It's supposed to be a secret. What's that? Your leaves are getting dry? Well don't worry, I'll fix that.

[Later in the afternoon, ~~after he's had a shower at least~~, he'll venture into town, rifling pointedly through the rebuilt item shop for something very specific and emerging empty-handed. It's okay to miss him as he moves among the people in mid-town, though; he avoids eye contact like the plague. Still, he won't be unfriendly if approached. Feel free to gape at the lightningbolt scar just barely visible under his fringe. He's used to it.]

[OOC: AU Cheatsheat is here.]

You're failing to make sense. ...not that that's unusual, but at least try to for once, will you?

Stop trying to talk to me like we're friends. Bugger off already. There must be someone else here you can annoy. Don't you have an interview to give to the Prophet?

No? I hate the Prophet, or at least Rita Skeeter. Talking to her last year was more than enough for me, thanks.

Was your photograph not large enough when the article was printed? Ought she have mentioned you in the headline instead of running with "Boy Who Lived is a Magical Menace"? [Haaaaaaaaaaaaaate.]

You're a bit touched in the head, aren't you?

Some people seem to think so lately. [But it's okay. His garden gets him. Screw everyone else. :|]

Ever consider the fact that maybe it's true then? [Well Draco thinks your garden's kind of stupid, so there.]

Not in the slightest. They think the way they do because they don't bother taking the time to get to know me. They're going to think what they want whether or not it's true.

Don't bother tak--[Pause. Cueee staring.] What the hell is that on your forehead?

...That's not funny, Malfoy.

Good, it wasn't supposed to be. [Getting up and trying to move closer to look.] Trying to impersonate him?

Impersonate who? [AND THAT IS TOO CLOSE. His wand-hand's getting twitchy again.]

Harry. Who else? [SO WATCHING THAT HAND THANKS.]

What does Harry have to do with my scar? [THEN BACK OFF, SLYTHERIN.]

Your scar? No, really, is this some sort of Longbottom humor? Because I'm not getting the joke.

Yes, my scar. Now I would appreciate it if you'd take your body off these premises.

No, not yet. Since when do you of all people have a scar?

Since my parents were killed. [Realy, Malfoy? The "lol you have no parents" taunt? That's so... first year.]

[Blank. Stare.] I'm not falling for it.

There's nothing to fall for, Malfoy. Why are you even still here?

Because I was there. [He points to house 25.] Though I'm wondering if I should leave because of how completely ridiculous you sound right at the moment.

[He's clutching his wand a bit tighter now.] There is nothing ridiculous about what happened to them. Don't you dare make light of it.

Perhaps you should remind me what I shouldn't be making light of? Since clearly one of us is confused.

You know exactly what happened. Your father was there the night he came back and tried to kill me. You probably got details about how You-Know-Who murdered my parents at bedtime every night.

...no really, this isn't even mildly amusing anymore. What the hell...quit it!

<3!
