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!

Bit obsessed with our bloodline, aren't we?
Almost as much as my kind.

[malfoy-purity.livejournal.com]

What are your kind?

[eyesweregold.livejournal.com]

I'm a vampire.
[is that the ghost of a snicker? She's amused, in any case, and the grin comes through in her voice.]

Risika. Pleased to meet you.

[malfoy-purity.livejournal.com]

Oh...rather like Scrimgeour, although in my world you'd be a dark creature, they're not as proud of their...heritage shall we say.

[eyesweregold.livejournal.com]

Then I assume those in your world are created by a mere bite.

In mine, we are chosen, specifically. To be Changed one must drink the blood of a vampire.

[malfoy-purity.livejournal.com]

I do not know the full complexities of it, werewolves are far more common.

[eyesweregold.livejournal.com]

Hmm.

[incredibly nonchalant]
Sooo... you're, what, late teens, aristocracy, and can trace your magical heritage back through both parents?

[malfoy-purity.livejournal.com]

Yes...

[eyesweregold.livejournal.com]

At least six generations?

[malfoy-purity.livejournal.com]

How did you? I'm better at Occlumancy than that. How did you get in?

[eyesweregold.livejournal.com]

You're shielding your mind but not your aura, sweetie. And some of that was guesswork. You said yourself you were bloody rich, and seemed very fond of your heritage... excepted people to recognize the name.

The last question, by the way, was just that - a question.

New question - what's occlumancy?

[malfoy-purity.livejournal.com]

Twelve.


It is the ability to search people's minds or like you said, shield your own. Not many can manage it.

[eyesweregold.livejournal.com]

Twelve... now, [that's] impressive.

Hmm. I'd think from the amount of magic you lot practice daily that sort of thing would be more common. But then... all of my kind in my world can manage it, and many of the humans can train themselves to do so. Worlds are different. That's a lesson you'll learn fast here, if you haven't already.

[malfoy-purity.livejournal.com]

We've been noting down our lineage for centuries.

I suppose so, I know some...knew someone who was brilliant at it.

[eyesweregold.livejournal.com]

Noting it before it was important? Any amazing ancestors worth mentioning?

...I'm sorry. Someone close to you?
But you needn't answer that. I'm getting dangerously close to prying.

[malfoy-purity.livejournal.com]

...

He was.

Any ancestors of mine you wouldn't have heard of, coming from this other world.

[eyesweregold.livejournal.com]

Well, no. but I'm always up for a good story. [she laughs]

I assume someone's given you the run-down of the Castle already?

[malfoy-purity.livejournal.com]

Well we've had good ones bad ones, murderers thieves and saints. Even those with an unhealthy appreciaiton for farm animals. Take your pick.

I know where the kitchen is...I barely entered my own so I doubnt I'll have much business there. adn that there are ghosts instead of houseelves.

[eyesweregold.livejournal.com]

Yes. That's mostly what I was wondering - the ghosts. so you can continue to be waited on here. [suppressed snort - but hey, she hunts her dinner]

...and someone's told you about the Losses?

[malfoy-purity.livejournal.com]

Yes...I experienced mine.

[eyesweregold.livejournal.com]

..."experienced"?

[malfoy-purity.livejournal.com]

...I tried to remember my father.


I couldn't.

[eyesweregold.livejournal.com]

Then I am truly sorry.

I have not discovered mine yet, although I've been here several months.

[malfoy-purity.livejournal.com]

COunt yourself lucky...when you do you will not appreciate it.

[eyesweregold.livejournal.com]

Few do.

But then... if I haven't figured it out on my own so far, it's unlikely I will. No one else here is from my world, or at least from my part of the world.
