Thread: Healer (Harry Potter) SlytherinDesires/Moon

Lillianna merely smiled at his comment, knowing that was partly true. Hermione kind of had an inkling it was stupid from the beginning but she still insisted she at least give it a try before they decided to leave. She had fun while the class lasted, she'd admit. Mostly the look on Harry's face when Professor Trelawny declared that he was destined for doom and that he should be born in the winter when he, in fact, was a summer baby. Some of that stuff was kind of true - and she detected some of these things because it was true about Lord Voldemort and her brother and him were connected at that time, but it was still pretty ridiculous. That's good...it's an interesting sort of magic, I'll say, but unless you have talent in the field, really it's pointless. It has it's purpose, but honestly if you want to be challenged, that is not the class to take. Arithmancy and Ancient Runes are far more challenging and worth their time. It didn't offend Lillianna in the slightest that Draco called her brother a moron, because honestly she probably had called him that twice as much as he did in his entire life. But what he said was quite true - that Harry always resorted to physical fighting like most of his house and like their father, when he was alive. Lillianna preferred a battle of wits and mind games, which honestly made her a far more fun enemy if she was the one fighting against Draco. But she listened to his explanation of why he did what he did, and it made perfect sense. After what happened during the trial, what came out, she honestly wasn't surprised that Draco behaved the way he did. She was surprised he managed to make it out alive and get as far in life as he did with that kind of background. She flushed a light shade of pink when Draco admitted that he hated her because he thought she pitied him. Did he really think about that a lot? I think you forget that I am a Slytherin too. I know how we were treated - as outcasts, as criminals, judged before we were even old enough to truly understand it. Some of us believed that we really were evil and...we played the part. Part of me did wonder if...there was more to you than the boy who was the class bully. I wondered if you were one of the ones who let the stereotype get to you. I didn't know, of course, the truth, but I suppose...you could say I pitied you...but, in a way that I wished I could help remind you that you are more than a couple of labels. That our house is not something to be ashamed of or...judged. But that's all in the past, I suppose now. Lillianna frowned when she finished speaking and Draco seemed to be completely zoned out. At first she thought that he had been ignoring her, but he started to go on about things that he was feeling. She listened with interest this time, writing a few things down in a little purple notebook she carried with her. It was for writing things down that she learned about being a healer that she might want to know later on. After all, Draco did say that she'd learn some things here that she wouldn't learn from just going to the Academy. She was relieved when Draco finally explained to her what he had been doing and that Albus was actually not feeling any pain, and in fact he was pretty peaceful. Maybe that was actually a bad sign, but she'd take it as a good one for now. For the sake of her own sanity because she didn't want to end up worse than Ginny, which she was going to have to take home later on, if she hadn't already called Ron or Hermione to come get her since Lillianna stayed later than she was originally going to. I do understand that...though, being that Albus is underage, wouldn't it be alright if Harry or Ginny, being his parents and legal guardians, consented to the procedure? I mean - if it ever really came down to the point where you absolutely had to call someone in.. She giggled along with the house-elf when Draco made the comment about Scorpius sneaking out after curfew. They did that a lot when they were in school. It was pretty easy because as Slytherins, they knew Snape was in charge of them and therefore they got special treatment and often got off easy. Snape was especially giving towards Lillianna because she reminded him so much of Lily Evans, since she took after her more than her father, despite the house she was sorted into. Not that she ever really mentioned any of that to Harry at the time, of course. She nodded when Draco asked if the school was sending Albus's things. Harry had sent for them a few days prior, just before he went on his business trip. They should be arriving sometime very soon. Oh, yes, Harry sent for them as soon as Albus arrived here. The Headmistress states that his things should be arriving at the house sometime today. He has quite a bit of things, you know, with his trunk and all of that...if you're not busy you could perhaps go with me to pick it up? B-But, I'm sure you are so I'll just go get it and bring it here, maybe? Just to see if it's even here yet, I'm not sure.
