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.]

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.

[[Private//Extremely Difficult to Hack]]
...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.]

...Hn. Bloody dragons sniffing at my hair and uniform. The festivities of this school are foolish, as usual.



[Private to Kyro]

...I have questions that need answering. What...exactly did you say to your parents?

[//Private]

[ooc: Dramarmarmarmarz tonite. Fakir actually has very dark green hair, so the dragons are giving it a wiff~ :D ...And this obviously stems from the Kyro take over and I was just busy and am springing that plottage now. Anyone who's seen Fakir for the last week, particularly people in his dorm, will notice he's been in a state of self-loathing extremely depressed and somewhat quieter than usual :x Mood shows as cranky, icon shows as "Hn. Whatever..."]
