simple spell #2

[Harry]

You don't suppose that day we took Hermione out flying to cheer her up was just a fluke, do you? I found a bunch of brooms since then, and been thinking that maybe one of them would work. It could have just been that one.

[/Harry]

[Hermione]

We really--

It's been awhile since we--

Thought maybe you might want too--

[/Hermione] [kind of gone]

Haven't even been here that long, but this castle is weird.

And the ghost won't even talk to you. Can't imagine they're that entertained by each other, they don't talk amongst themselves either from what I've seen.

((OOC. By weird he really means normal >:))

They must have a secret ghost sign language.

Ghost don't use sign language.

[weaslied.livejournal.com]

[pause as he actually contemplates this]

Never seen one do it anyways.

[ihasaboomerang.livejournal.com]

That doesn't mean they don't do it. If a tree falls in the forest and nobody else is around, does it make a sound? If a ghost uses sign language with another ghost when nobody else is around, are they not talking?


... Something like that.

[weaslied.livejournal.com]

But they're not talking if they're not actually saying anything.

[derives.livejournal.com]

It's quite peculiar, isn't it?

[Ronald]

?

[weaslied.livejournal.com]

It's weird, s'what it is. I asked one of them a question and they barely gave an answer.

[Hermione]

[a few things very hastily scribbled out]

[written slowly with awkward pauses between the words] How have you been? I mean, after... you know?

[derives.livejournal.com]

You don't need an answer if you ask them to make you a sandwich.

[Ron]

After...?

[weaslied.livejournal.com]

Well it's not like I just asked them to make me food. They won't answer any questions really though. Not with any more words than they have to.

[Hermione]

It doesn't matter. Nevermind.

Ron~

[weaslied.livejournal.com]

Yeah?

[quibbler-loon.livejournal.com]

I had heard you were here, from professor Lupin.

It's been a long time.

[pause, going over who Hermione's mentioned and who he's already talked to]

[weaslied.livejournal.com]

Luna?

[alwaysmoony.livejournal.com]

[faint laugh]

Do you suppose they're shy?

[weaslied.livejournal.com]

Can't be that all of them are. There's a lot of them.

[alwaysmoony.livejournal.com]

Peer pressure.

[dafiteison.livejournal.com]

At least they're not malicious and violent ghosts?

[weaslied.livejournal.com]

Most I've met aren't though.

[dafiteison.livejournal.com]

Really? Most I have aren't really the pleasant sort.

[broken-clock.livejournal.com]

Perhaps they're telepathic. Ghosts don't have voice boxes, after all.

[weaslied.livejournal.com]

But I heard them talk just a little. On answered a question then wouldn't say anything afterwards.

[save-the-souls.livejournal.com]

...Do ghosts usually talk for you?

[weaslied.livejournal.com]

Not just for me. They'll talk to whoever they want to talk to.

[save-the-souls.livejournal.com]

Really? ...I've never seen anything like that...
