Entrée de Journal Deux: Living Arrangements.

[malfoy-purity.livejournal.com]

After my rather abrupt entrance the other day and a few attempts at trying to return; it would appear that I am stuck here, so I suppose proper introductions are in order.

My name is Malfoy, Draco Malfoy, a surname I hope will be familiar to at least a few of you, pureblood wizard, from a long line of purebloods and no doubt wealthier than you could hope to be.

I did study at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, initially with Albus Dumbledore as headmaster and then Professor Snape my old head of house.

[Soft frown and a quiet pause for a moment before changing tack]

Anyway I have been told I live next door to an angel and that there's a demon on the other side of him, I've not actually met either of them but am I the only one that finds this a little bit disconcerting?

I'm not going to have the fires of hell suddenly lick up my bedroom door whilst some celestial battle goes on, am I? Whose bright idea was it to put those particular forms of life together?

Oh Joy...and apparently a demon hunter further down the hall from them...

Yes this will go well.

[sighs huffily and walks with the journal in his hand]

And guess who else the castle has deemed fit for sticking me on the same hall as...

[Insert girlish shriek before a yell issues out]

Bloody hell Longbottom! Your toad in my sodding loo!

Comments

[cheerily] Yes, that's the general consensus.

What year are you from, may I ask?

[malfoy-purity.livejournal.com]

YEar...I...

[panic entering his voice]

Sir I had to do it, you know I did. He had them there wasn't ...wasn't anyting else I could...

[Freaking out now]

[lifeandliesof.livejournal.com]

[bemused]

I'm not quite sure what you're talking about, but I'm sure you had good reason for whatever you did.

What year was that?

[malfoy-purity.livejournal.com]

[Shocked and a little lost]

Ummm...1997 was when you...you umm died, it's 1998 now.

[numbly]

[lifeandliesof.livejournal.com]

[rotfl, Albus just keeps getting surprising news broken to him. he takes this in stride, though. this means that he dies at the age of 116; not exactly a bad run.

he'll think about it later]

I see.

You seem quite shaken up.

[malfoy-purity.livejournal.com]

[Shrieks panicked]

Wouldn't you be if the man you saw die is talking to you!

[lifeandliesof.livejournal.com]

[again, slightly amused, and trying his best to take this all in stride]

The man you saw die was 116 years old, I gather. I am 18. Do calm down, and let me explain.

[malfoy-purity.livejournal.com]

Stay fucking calm he says

[mutters shaken and annoyed]

[lifeandliesof.livejournal.com]

[pleasantly as ever]

No, I said 'do calm down'. Perhaps you misheard.

As you probably already know, you are now in a world called Paradisa, that is capable of pulling different people from different worlds, and from totally different points in time. I am from 1899.

Thank you, by the way, for informing me of my death; quite pleasant of you.

[malfoy-purity.livejournal.com]

You're...

[Frowns before sighing]

How can you be Albus Dumbledore you're...I mean I just...

[Utterly at a loss for words his voice cracking a bit]

It still wasn't my fault.

[lifeandliesof.livejournal.com]

Would you like me to find some way of proving it to you?

I'm sure it wasn't, though the fact that you find it necessary to tell me this sheds some doubt on that statement.

Are you quite ready to tell me who 'he' is, who he had, and why exactly are you this shaken?

[of course, he's already put bits of it together in his head. with more detachment then he would've thought possible, he wonders if this boy killed him.]

[malfoy-purity.livejournal.com]

If I tell you I'll...I cant talk through a book.

[lifeandliesof.livejournal.com]

Any location in particular?

[malfoy-purity.livejournal.com]

Umm...I'm in 1410

[lifeandliesof.livejournal.com]

[a few seconds later there's a knock on your door]

[malfoy-purity.livejournal.com]

[Frowns hands sweating as he reaches for the door and opening it a crack before peering out, so very much not ready for this.]

[lifeandliesof.livejournal.com]

[Albus is just standing there, looking spiffy, if a little worn, smiling]

Hello.

[malfoy-purity.livejournal.com]

[Looks at him brow furrowed, 98 years changes a man]

Are you sure you're...you?

[lifeandliesof.livejournal.com]

[is getting a liiiiiiiiiiittle tired of this]

Tell me; what exactly would one have to gain from impersonating Albus Dumbledore, if they indeed could?

[malfoy-purity.livejournal.com]

Trust so you could later manipulate them into following you.

[lifeandliesof.livejournal.com]

How dastardly.

How then, do you intend to assure yourself that I am who I say I am?

[malfoy-purity.livejournal.com]

Umm I don't kn...

What are your favourite sweets?

[lifeandliesof.livejournal.com]

Lemon drops.

[malfoy-purity.livejournal.com]

Oh...I just


I never imagined you were young. I mean I knew theoretically but this is different.

[Opens tohe door to let him in]

[lifeandliesof.livejournal.com]

[he inclines his head as he steps in politely]

Of course. Quite understandable, I'm sure.
