[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.

Everyone seems to think this isn't the best plan. What's your reasoning?

Tampering with memories never ends well, in my experience. Plus, even if you did want to, would you trust these assholes to do it?

Unless you've better assholes to trust, yes.

Hell's bells, man, whatever is in these memories that you want to erase so badly, I guarantee it won't be worth it. That kind of thing can drive people crazy.

Sounds like you've seen this before. Have a story to share with me, Dresden?

Not my story to tell. Suffice it to say that I know plenty of people who've been messed up by it. Both on the giving and receiving end. People go crazy from having their brains messed with.
