quiteunderjoyed: Ron?
cmikhailovic: Emma?
quiteunderjoyed: Yes, I... just wanted to say thank you, really, for treating me like a human being.
cmikhailovic: Why wouldn't i? I know you must be feeling awful, and I'm sorry for that.
quiteunderjoyed: Well, if you hadn't noticed, a lot of people from your house don't exactly like me. As a matter of fact, not a lot of people like me, period.
cmikhailovic: Well, um. i'm not my house, and I don't know you well enough to dislike you. *g* But you said you loved Bole, and this has to hurt, for you.
quiteunderjoyed: I'm sure it hurt me just about as much as it hurt Marcus when this happened to Oliver. I didn't even find out how Tarq was until I asked Dumbledore, nobody would ever tell me.
cmikhailovic: I know. That's. that's why we. Gods, Emma, I'm so sorry. Not for Bole, but for you, and Oliver, and Marcus, and all the people who have been hurt by this.
quiteunderjoyed: Damned house rivalrys. It's times like these where I remember why I don't subscribe to that garbage.
cmikhailovic: It's completely idiotic.
quiteunderjoyed: But, yes. Thank you for offering to bring me along tomorrow. I couldn't be more grateful, truly.
cmikhailovic: Well you shouyldn't have to go by yourself. And i was going anyway. And I wanted. I just wanted to make things right. for everyone. I fucked up royally, but. You don't seem to despise me too much, so. thanks. for that.
quiteunderjoyed: If you had really damaged him, I wouldn't be nearly so forgiving, but they tell me he's going to be all right. Besides, I understand that you were just being loyal to your friend, that's what you're supposed to do.
cmikhailovic: We weren't planning on really damaging him. Just. evening the score. and that's partly why we chose to use our fists, and not magic, because so much can go wrong. Not that it didn't but. And even if Dumbledore hadn't come, we would have taken him to the hospital. we wouldn't have left him.
quiteunderjoyed: That's the difference between Slytherins and Gryffindors, I suppose.
quiteunderjoyed: Well...and Marcus.
quiteunderjoyed: Who I guess has a lot more of a conscience then he used to.
cmikhailovic: No. it has nothing to do with that. Terence saved Oliver's life. It's just.
quiteunderjoyed: Some of us are slightly more deranged than others?
cmikhailovic: *g* maybe that's it. No, I think the difference between Gryffindors and Slytherins is that we would have hauled him into the hospital ourselves, and confessed on the spot, while the Slytherins would anonymously alert someone else.
cmikhailovic: Joking!
quiteunderjoyed: No, that's sadly accurate. *laughs* Note that you came clean in your journal about beating up Tarq, while he neglected to mention Oliver to even me.
cmikhailovic: Emma, I'm. I don't want to say this, but. But. you could do better. than him. I mean.
cmikhailovic: Erm. that sounds really idiotic, coming from me, doesn't it?
quiteunderjoyed: Gods. You really don't know me well. I like girls, Ron, Tarq is the first male I've ever done anything with other than loathe. I wouldn't bother if I didn't think I really loved him.
cmikhailovic: Okay. well. but it's true. I. fuck. i'm just digging my own grave here? *g* I won't talk about Bole, then. I mean. i've made my opinion clear, I think. But this idiotic house rivalry has to end. And that's what started this. But. good luck to you. Really. I mean, I hope he makes you happy.
quiteunderjoyed: Oh, well, thank you. He does. Enough to make me forgive him for being such a bloody idiot. And, I wholeheartedly agree about ending the rivalry.
cmikhailovic: That's good enough, then. I think we can call it even, and. Start trying to forget about this whole fucking mess. Shall I come by your dorm at, say, 11:45?
quiteunderjoyed: Yes, that sounds perfect.
cmikhailovic: So, see you then. And again, I'm sorry.
quiteunderjoyed: It's quite all right. Thank you.
cmikhailovic: You're welcome. Good night.
