Essays.

I'm sure you all just fucking love essays, don't you? Well it's been too long since I assigned one and considering my last assignment mysteriously went missing, that's what you're gonna get. So pick a language of your choice, I don't even care which one. It could be pig Latin for all I care at this point.

Got your language picked out?

Write me ten inches on why people suck.

The first person to complain about this assignment gets 100 points taken away, so just shut up and do it.

Whoever has the most compelling argument on why people suck gets 150 points and the essay blown up and stuck in the entrance hall for everyone to see every day.

It's nice that you would make others think they even have a chance in the matter, but we already know that my essay will be far superior than whatever anyone else can muster.
I don't want to brag, but I already know that my capabilities far exceed others in this topic. Let's be honest here.

Whhout os whrounhgh?
I mean.
Are you okay? Did something happen during our times away?

You know I can't show obvious bias, Rose. So really it would be unfair of me to show favoritism or otherwise encourage your belief that you will come out on top.

[Filtered]

With that said, I know you will.

And I'm fine.
It's nothing for you to worry about.

It's not a bias favoritism at all. I just so happen to be one of the best students anyone could ever ask for and just so happen to be related to you. It's just an uncanny coincidence.

You're lying to me.

Yeah, but not everyone here is as sane and logical as that. Somebody would get their feelings hurt, I'd get a lecture, and then no one would be happy.

[Filtered]

I'm not lying.

It's more like when it really comes down to it, it's irrelevant and I'll be fine. In the end, it was my fault for ever getting involved in the situation in the first place. I've already squicked you with details on the subject one time before, I'm not looking to do that again.

Because everyone wishes to have a stunning essay about why they think people are scum. I thought I was the only one who was like that.
I don't mind listening. I didn't mind the first time.

[She just wants to help. :( Are they back to square one?]

I guess out of everyone, you'd be the logical one to confide in, then, considering you're so good at this psychoanalysis thing.

He thinks he's better than me because he's a fucking pureblood. We had a fight.

Oh.
I sometimes forget that status seems to be solely based on how purified your blood is.
I don't have much to say on the matter other than it isn't true. I like to think I'm a good example of that, but that's laughable at best.
Hmm, but it isn't excusable to have that mindset, although we all still try to abide to it to avoid being ostracized.
Purebloods are like that. Because they are of a lineage, they assume better of themselves because of it. It's quite nasty when you think about it.
But skill does not correlate with lineage! But who would believe that. People are so very full of themselves.

[Guess who pretends to be a little pureblood because she refuses to mention that she's anything but pureblood. The fear of being alienated is crippling, even though she pretends it isn't a thing.]

It's really fucking ridiculous to me. I guess I just ain't used to it considering I basically lived as a muggle for the last 14 years. I didn't have to deal with stuck up purebloods trying to tell me I'm dirt in comparison to them.

Then the one time I actually have to deal with it, it's by the guy I was

falling in love with.

[That last part is shaky, though it's obvious he tried to keep his hand steady and failed. He just... fucking hates this so much.]

Sorry you gotta deal with this shit, Rose.

[A part of him feels really stupid talking to her about this, considering she's so young and he's a grownass adult who should be able to deal with his own problems. But another part of him his glad they can talk about this shit... because it's nice to talk to her about things and not feel like he's gotta hold back.]

I don't think I've ever said it, but I'm proud of you. For not treating people like scum just cuz of their blood.

Welcome to living the life of upperclass wizards whom attend social gatherings on a daily basis as part of their normal lives. Of course, we play the part so well that it usually isn't something people bother to background check, but it's a constant fear that it can happen and we have no way of stopping them from looking up our lineage.

[And Rose is scared someone might be curious to see how far back the Lalonde line goes.]

Au contraire. This is something I'm more than used to dealing with. Society is difficult and fitting in tends to mean bending over backwards unfortunately. The only thing I can hope is that he learns better not to caste people into a hierarchy like so. You think in this day and age, it wouldn't matter. But people are too power hungry and have the need to be so much better than the other that it means we must put others down for the pettiest reasons.

I don't treat people like scum because I can't. Technically...I'm not even considered human to some extent. No matter how diluted.

[Bro just stares at the words for a long moment, not really sure exactly what to say. She has a lot of words on the subject, which surprises him. He never knew someone as young as her could have so much life experience in this regard. Then again, it really just goes to show how much he's missed out on when it comes to her. He can't help but feel bad about that.]

I can't say I'm sad to have missed out on living like that. Being a muggleborn seems really damn easy in comparison, I can honestly say. I think he's already doing that; he pretty much assumes all Purebloods are better than Halfbloods and Muggleborns.

We had a huge argument about it and then I ended up splinching myself when I apparated out.

And what d'you mean you're not considered human? How the hell is that even a thing?

Did mother never mention our lineage to you or are you not aware of where we lie on the spectrum? Let's put this into perspective.
He probably would not care for my existence if it were universally known of the tiny bit of blood in me that sets me apart. There is many reasons why I had suitors who were infatuated with my looks, even if they were at the end of my sharp tongue. Someone like me would usually not get the time or day.
You do know...that I have veela in me, right? Veela are not considered wizards, so even if I barely have any in me, it's still enough for discrimination. Anything that would put them above you, they'll take. It's a man eat man or creature world out there.

[She hasn't spoken to anyone about that constant fear. Image was everything to her, and it was probably an irrational fear, but a fear. When you grow up in class, knowing what can be, it was hard not to worry about it.]

I knew, yeah. I just didn't know it's apparently such a big deal. Literally, to me it's... not. It's not something I ever fucking thought about. Not when I was with your mom, not when I knew you'd have Veela in you. I just don't fucking get the big deal. Because it's not.

Man eat creature is not a thing that can be used to describe you in my opinion, considering to me you're as human as it fucking gets.
If anyone ever gives you hell over this then I won't stand for it.
I will fucking hurt them.

This is ridiculous, I don't fucking get it. I can't fathom why this is even a thing at all in any form.

It is quite a big deal. It's a constant thing that purebloods think about, or so I've grown to assumed. Anything that may dilute your blood is enough for those to put you farther down the ranks so that they may stay on top.
You may think so, but not everyone I meet may think that way. It's something that I will have to accept like my mother and my child if I were to ever have one. Unfortunately.
It's something that one must just accept as cold hard truth. It's easier to accept it early. It saves grief and stress at the very least.

Because this is how our world works. The Ministry doesn't see most magical creatures as people. They just see many of us as...well, creatures.

I... [There's a long pause.]

I haven't really spoken about this to anyone.

The Ministry is full of dickwads and they need to be replaced with people who don't have shitty-ass prejudices. Makes me wanna run for goddamn Minister of Magic at this point just to get shit changed. If it's really that bad then I really doubt I'd get any supporters though, so it's just an empty thought. I'm sorry you had to deal with that.

[There are inkblots as he considers his next reply, before hesitantly he starts writing.]

If... you ever wanna come stay with me in Soho, then my door's always open. It could be good to get away from all that, y'know? Just forget it's a thing for a while.

For however long you wanted. I mean, it's just a thought. I'd really like it, but like I said it's your call.

I'm glad you decided to talk to me. I really am. Just remember that you're never fucking alone in this. I've always got your back, Rose.

You get used to it I suppose.

[There's a bit of time before she finishes replying.]

I know.

I wasn't considering traveling the upcoming Summer. I just thought to perhaps actually enjoy my time home. Perhaps I can reconsider.

[That's her very roundabout way of saying she'd love to visit. Very. Roundabout. Way.]

People get used to a lot of shit when they deal with it enough. That doesn't make it any better.

If you were to reconsider, that would be awesome. There's always room for you at the flat, and it'd give us the chance to...

bond, I guess. If you're up for that kind of thing.

I don't want to put any hopes on, but I'll be sure to think long and hard over the matter.
I will excruciatingly pick out the pros and cons and weigh everything until I have an answer that will truly suffice. Everything will be taken into consideration. It will be so thorough, you won't have any space to make argument.

Edited (That was not Rose html...) 2013-01-20 01:22 (UTC)

Well then I look forward to this absolutely and mindblowingly flawless argument.

Which is to say I'm glad you're considering it. That's enough to make me pretty damn happy. And that's saying a lot, considering I've been miserable since New Years.

All my arguments are mindblowing and flawless. Tsk. I thought you would assume that by now.

Do I make you happy?

Maybe I'm starting to.

What kind of question is that? The answer should be pretty obvious.

It's a three letter word starting with Y.

I guess that was a silly question.

I just felt the need to ask.

[Rose trying not to be obviously insecure.]
