[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.

Or wizards. I haven't met a lot of them either, aside from your friends.

What, there aren't any dead wizards wandering around where you two are from?

We don't all them that. They're just people with high spiritual power.

...what's the difference?

[...]

They don't have wands. Other than that, they're pretty similar.

Then how do they channel their magic?

Chanting works. And rice paper spells.

You use the rice paper, right? I remember that...from...when I was a ferret.

Yes. They're really practical.

[Should he mention it or should he not. Hmm.]

What was it like being a ferret?

Awful. It was terrible, and the fact that I've now had that experience twice is something I can't say I'm happy about.

I only knew you had been a ferret once.

[Pointed, amused look. Are you holding out on him?]

...someone posing as a professor at our school my fourth year did it first.

Your teachers are so much more mean than mine.

He wasn't a real teacher, you know.

What do you mean?

I mean he was an impostor. He spent te whole year disguising as a man who was supposed to be our professor but he was mostly in it to kill Potter.

The more I hear about your school, the less it sounds like a good place for kids.

It wasn't always like that though, just remember that.

We never talk about the good sides of it. Maybe we should.

Depends. What would you want to know about it?

What were your favourite things about school?

...Quidditch, naturally. I liked being a Prefect because of the power that came with it. I liked some of my classes like potions and astronomy...but naturally all of that changed sixth year.
