It's a relief to finally get home from that mad house of a school. It seems as if two weeks can't pass without some nonsense occurring there.

Charon appeared pleased to see us as well. But he seems anxious since I saw him last. Why Mytho saw fit to mention what the Prophet said about the dragons is beyond me. It does nothing but worry him needlessly.

I may as well go flying since the weather is decent.

...I'm a bloody idiot. I shouldn't have even made that prediction...but how the hell could I have known that'd actually happen? Predicting she'd--

And Raimei's too much of a moron to back down. So many times I let things happen, been a damned coward and done nothing...then the one time I say something, I'm still useless to stop it. What the hell is the point of this power if its nothing but a harbinger of everything I can do nothing about?

Dammit! This is...identical to 10 years ago. I hope...for that idiot's sake...that I'm wrong.

[ooc: Mood shows up as calm and icon shows up as 'Elusive head turned'. Strikes are semi-hackable, but the private part is extremely difficult to hack UNLESS you know him well or are a close friend of Raimei. Then it's still REALLY hard to hack anyway, and you have to ask yourself why any of them would be hacking Fakir's entry. 8D As to this. Fakir made a prediction. About something. And he's wrong. But no one knows that. \o.]

[Private to Rue]

Pack your things. You're coming with me to Charon's. That isn't a request.

The ministry seems to have a spectacular knack for wasting time. Closing off the damn school AFTER the attacks so I couldn't-, interrogating students who were either completely absent or under attack themselves, and being completely incapable of showing up at Hogsmeade in a timely enough fashion to prevent more lost lives? I fail to see how they were anything but negligent and idiotic. You'd think them seeing Ahiru and Charon would have been sufficient. Worthless.

All the goddamn people amused by this disgust me. People's lives were in danger and all they can talk about is how bloody entertaining it is. Especially from my own house. Makes me revolted to be a Slytherin. For all their insipid talk of purity, they're the fucking dirty ones. As if blood means anything.

Charon seems overly concerned for my well-being in going back to Hogwarts this semester, but the only way to defend ourselves is to return and continue to study spells against whatever threat that is out there. I have no intention of running away just because some prejudiced zealots want to provoke fear in those who oppose them. That would be giving them exactly what they want. And...I'm less concerned about myself anyway...and more concerned about...

In any event, Ahiru is safe and that's what matters.

...Not that I didn't have my own part in her injury. While Ahiru was getting her neck twisted by that...fucking bastard, I wasn't there to protect her at all. To think that a goddamn stunning spell would...I was...useless. I wasn't there fast enough...and even when I got to her, it was my recklessness that prompted her to get hurt. Damn it! In the most extreme of situations...when she was a spell away from possible death, even then I wasn't able to help...

I'm not...strong enough. It's...been a year since today...and all I can focus on is what could have happened. And even if Ahiru says otherwise...my cowardice still pervades.

[[Private to...the teacher that took the blow for me]]
I'm not certain of your name but...for getting in the way of that spell, and more importantly for saving Ahiru...thank you. I appreciate it greatly. There are few who would be that brave. I don't know what I would have-- In any rate, you have my gratitude.

[ooc: Strikes are difficult to hack, except in Nia's filter where they're crossed out enough to leave a groove in the paper. 8D;; Annnnnnd...Monday was Fakir and Ahiru's one year anniversary! =D;;; Bawwww. Icon will show up as "Solid Glare", unless hacked.]

Huh. Ironic that I'd find this thing just as I was being dragged to this pointless event we were leaving to attend the school festival. Undoubtedly for the best considering that moron was showing Charon pictures from the school year, including that idiotic picture from when I was turned into a child and played stupid games with that pest Rue.

But at the very least, I was able to avoid too much foolishness over the summer time. When we visited Mytho, he seemed well, so perhaps things are better all around. Not that that klutz has gotten any better at flying a broom...or managing not to trip over her own feet, for that matter...although going dancing was more entertaining than anticipated. Either way, nearly anything would beat the train wreck of last summer, aside from getting--

Why we'd be in any rush to go back to the school early, especially in these ridiculous outfits, is beyond me, but hopefully anyone irritating will have stayed home. But I doubt it.

[ooc: Pretend this was posted on Saturday, okay? 8D;;; strikes are all relatively easy to hack, smaller strikes are somewhat harder. Fakiru outfits are Japanese fanart, Ahiru-mun just made Fakir more frowny for this icon~]
