Thirty-Ninth Hex - [Written]

[hisdarkmark]

[As usual, Draco has once again gone and made himself scarce from a majority of the village as he works out more of his inner dilemmas. First and foremost, there's Hermione. She's most definitely, definitely not the same Hermione and it's freaking him out.

Secondly, he's officially given up on searching for Caroline Forbes. After running into other vampires...it's safe to say the blonde will never show up again.

And thirdly...? Even with his power, even with his abilities to turn into a coyote or produce patronuses or blow things up, he's finding it isn't enough to make him happy.

Recently he's returned from a mission, but he couldn't help but constantly think about the last experiment. He'd been convinced he was someone else, and he had absolutely no memories of who he really was...and it was nice. He was able to function like a normal human being again. Normally, he would make an elaborate announcement about his return, but this time...well, he's already pieced together what's happened in the village, and he's not sorry he's missed the tornado. No, instead he's entirely focused on what he's determined to find out. When he opens his journal, he's only got one sentence he'd like to share.]

What do you reckon it takes to bargain with our captors to permanently erase memories? Just curious.

A handful of their bloody tokens, I'd wager. Grunt work is all we've got to offer.

[hisdarkmark]

You really think the mission points could count for something like that? [Why the hell didn't he think of that.]

[deadpoet]

Well I'd like to hear what else you fancy bartering with. Anything else you've got to offer they already have.

[hisdarkmark]

But I doubt they'd want the mission points. They're worthless to them. There has to be something they'd like to have...like a soul or something.

[deadpoet]

Bloody hell. You don't want to get into the business of giving your soul away, mate. Especially if you've only got one potential buyer. They set the deal and in the end, you're getting ripped off.

[hisdarkmark]

And what do you know about giving away souls? Been doing a lot of that, have you?

[deadpoet]

No, but I know a bit about losing them.

[hisdarkmark]

How much is a bit?
