History Can't Be Unlived

Amanda Cheston. I'm dead. Deal with it. I have. Bitterness is like cancer. It eats upon its host. But anger is like fire. It burns all clean.

[amanda-cheston-blog]

Bored.

Bored bored bored.

Day Fifteen

Who is their closest friend, and why? What do they like to do with this person?

All of Amanda's friends are dead or have forgotten her. She does like spending time with the Marauders because of their pranks and has a soft spot for Eden.

Do they have any rivals? Who and why?

No. Amanda likes most of the students.

Have they ever been betrayed? By who, and how did it affect them?

She was betrayed by Jonathon when he killed her. She dreams of getting her revenge.

Day Fourteen

Do they, or have they in the past, had a mentor? What was their relationship with this person, and how has it changed since then?

Amanda's biggest mentor was probably the captain of the Slytherin quidditch team when she was a second year. He helped make her good enough to make the team. He is dead now; he died when he was 37 in a flying accident.

What sort of education have they had? Do they want more?

Amanda went to Hogwarts. She never finished her education, since she died before she could.

Who was their idol growing up? Who was the first person they fantasized about?

She wanted to be a princess. She didn't care which; any princess was enough.

Thank you, you deserve it.

[amanda-cheston-blog]

If I weren't dead...

Finally.

-smiles a little- Only the finest. -sighs- Amanda dear, I do often find it entirely regrettable you weren’t allowed to live the life you deserved to.

[amanda-cheston-blog]

I can almost taste it. -smiles down at him- Tony, you are a sweetheart.

Day Thirteen

Where (and when) did they grow up?

Amanda grew up with her parents in an apartment in Wizarding London.

How did they view it as a child, and did that change as they matured?

Amanda spent most of her childhood at home, being watched by her nannies. By the time she was six, she preferred to visit her uncle's home, which was out in the country and had more space for her to run around.

How do they feel about the place now?

At this point, Amanda barely misses her childhood home. If she was alive, it would not be the first place she'd go to.

-pushes it towards her a little- Of course, by all means.

[amanda-cheston-blog]

-sinks her hand in- Oh god that's good.

Day Twelve

Describe their best and worst memories from childhood.

Amanda's best memory is the first time she ever flew. She had never felt more free in her life. She laughed so hard that she hyperventilated and started crying.

Her worst memory is finding out what sweetbread was.

-smiles- I’m glad. It’s certainly one of the finer things in life.

[amanda-cheston-blog]

-gestures towards his cup- May I?

I think by 130 you would be sick of it though, but you would have to suffer past it anyway. You’d appreciate all those things a lot less if you knew you weren’t going to die either.

[amanda-cheston-blog]

If I didn't have to worry about dying, there would be so much that I'd do. Like I'd fly as fast as I could without having to worry or I'd eat pufferfish or something.

[willow-silverstone]

You don’t have to bite someone to see blood. Faeries die, but they still live longer than humans. They can live past 130 years if they’re treated right. Living forever wouldn’t be fun anyway. I mean, you have to stay a ghost forever and you hate that, so just think how bad it would be to walk around for the rest of eternity killing people.

[amanda-cheston-blog]

Yeah, but when you're alive you can do things like go places and eat food and touch people.

[willow-silverstone]

[willow-silverstone]

Faeries have special magic. They can… They can manipulate the elements. All vampires can really do is suck blood and not die.

[amanda-cheston-blog]

But blood is fun. And not dying...

[willow-silverstone]

No they aren’t! Faeries are interesting,  and there’s plenty more to them than there are to vampires.

[amanda-cheston-blog]

Name one thing that makes fairies better than vampires.

[do--the--bad--thing-blog]

Finally.

[do--the--bad--thing-blog]

You poor thing. I promise, I most likely drink enough for both of us.

[amanda-cheston-blog]

If it's really hot and I put my hand in, I can sort of remember.

[willow-silverstone]

-sitting in some corner somewhere reading a book of fairy lore-

[willow-silverstone]

Well, stop complaining about them looking boring if you can’t see what’s in it then. And just so you know, it isn’tboring.

[amanda-cheston-blog]

Fairies are so boring. Why not read about an actually interesting magical creature. I like vampires.

[do--the--bad--thing-blog]

Finally.

[do--the--bad--thing-blog]

Of course. -smiles- It’s been that kind of week.

[amanda-cheston-blog]

I miss tea.
