[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.]

Have you gone daft, Malfoy? If this has anything to do with that heir of Slytherin nonsense again, you're four and a half years too late. If you're ready to have a humane conversation for once, I suggest you set your wand down first.

From: [personal profile] hisdarkmark
...why would I care about that of all things now? [He's sitting up on his knees and getting in a crouched position to stand.] Like hell I'm doing that, you're the one who just attacked me!

You're the one bringing up second year -- as if any of that even matters anymore -- and don't you even try getting up. [He's going to try a jelly-legs jinx next to keep Draco horizontal, though his aim isn't quite spectacular and veers off mostly to the ground beside Draco.]

Date: 2010-08-16 08:49 am (UTC)
hisdarkmark: (I swear you'll pay for that)
From: [personal profile] hisdarkmark
Who said anything about second year? I know you're not that brilliant sometimes, but I thought even you could do simple maths. It's not that har--[He doesn't bother finishing his sentence though because he's rolling out of the way.] Honestly!

Put your wand down, Malfoy. [There's a nervous little tremble creeping into the edge of his voice.]

Date: 2010-08-16 06:41 pm (UTC)
hisdarkmark: (I really wish you'd stop talking)
From: [personal profile] hisdarkmark
[...sitting up again :|] Make me. [Because in every universe ever, Neville's a chicken.]

[IS NOT. It's just that his wand-hand gets a little quivery when he's stressed out. Draco stresses him out.] Expelliarmus! [He's not entirely sure it would even work with Draco already in a defensive position, but he's damn sure going to try.]

hisdarkmark: (I'm officially screwed)
From: [personal profile] hisdarkmark
[Draco stresses everyone ever out. He's totally ready for that too though.] Protego! [He's hoping that shield will bounce the Expelliarmus off] Explain yourself!
From: [identity profile] nearlychosen.livejournal.com
I don't have anything to explain to you, Malfoy! You can go out romping with HArry later but you won't enter this house! [Does he need to fetch the Devil's Snare? Because he totally will. >|]

Stupid chill-ness. :|

I'm not going to repeat myself. It's your own fault if you've decided to be too self-absorbed to properly listen.

blame jkr :|

You're failing to make sense. ...not that that's unusual, but at least try to for once, will you?
From: [identity profile] nearlychosen.livejournal.com
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?

...well every little bit helps :|b

hisdarkmark: (I look down on people a lot)
From: [personal profile] hisdarkmark
No? I hate the Prophet, or at least Rita Skeeter. Talking to her last year was more than enough for me, thanks.

Well thank you <3

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.]

<3 That's because Ty's the BESTEST. :D

Some people seem to think so lately. [But it's okay. His garden gets him. Screw everyone else. :|]
hisdarkmark: (I'm almost certain you're ridiculous)
From: [personal profile] hisdarkmark
Ever consider the fact that maybe it's true then? [Well Draco thinks your garden's kind of stupid, so there.]

<3 ...WHOOPS. Thank you for noticing. XD

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.
hisdarkmark: (I'm actually innocent)
From: [personal profile] hisdarkmark
Don't bother tak--[Pause. Cueee staring.] What the hell is that on your forehead?

<3 I notice a lot of random stuff DX

hisdarkmark: (I'll be the first one)
From: [personal profile] hisdarkmark
Good, it wasn't supposed to be. [Getting up and trying to move closer to look.] Trying to impersonate him?
From: [identity profile] nearlychosen.livejournal.com
Impersonate who? [AND THAT IS TOO CLOSE. His wand-hand's getting twitchy again.]

<3 wanna trade?

Date: 2010-08-18 07:22 am (UTC)
hisdarkmark: (I'm not happy with this turn of events)
From: [personal profile] hisdarkmark
Harry. Who else? [SO WATCHING THAT HAND THANKS.]

<3 For a little while! D:

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