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.

Good luck with that. I've been trying for over three years. [Other than the part where he gave up for a while because he was, at one time, genuinely happy with his life here.]

But surely there's still a way to slow the process down to a minimum.

[spohkh]

There are different forms of perseverance. And to slow the process is not to advance in life.

[hisdarkmark]

Some of us aren't in the mood to advance, I suppose.

[spohkh]

May I inquire as to what gives you hope Mister Malfoy?

[hisdarkmark]

Hope for what, exactly?

[spohkh]

What encourages you to move on? As for the purpose.. that varies from person to person. I am merely asking for a general idea.

[hisdarkmark]

I don't know. I...don't really have an answer for that.

[spohkh]

I will admit that it is a difficult question for some... myself included.

[Spock hesitates for a moment...] It has been well to converse with you Mister Malfoy... though it seems as though I may have 'pried' enough into your life. Forgive me if I pushed too far.

If you want to converse further at a later date, I would be amenable to that.

[hisdarkmark]

Sure...sure, I'll keep that in mind. Thanks.

~I like your character, that was fun. ^_^

[spohkh]

Very well.

Peace and long life to you Mister Malfoy.....
