Hestia Jones. Ravenclaw. Prefect and Chess Club member. I'm aspiring to become a Healer, so you'll find me most often in the Infirmary or the Library.

[hestiamarie]

               "It's been days since I've actually gone outside and now I simply want to do something! Maybe I'll go climb one of the trees outside or run around the lake for a bit. I'm feeling a bit stir crazy."

[loooneymoony]

"It may have. I’m not as stubborn as James or Sirius, you know."

[hestiamarie]

Exactly, you're stubborn in your own sort of way that could be worse than your mates. Plus, I'd hope you wouldn't let me lay in the halls all pissed from drinking too much either. 

[theclaw-ted-tonks]

...

[theclaw-ted-tonks]

He laughs aloud. “Well it’s true! They only interact with each other and ignore anyone else which is really weird since they’re all basically related to each other. And the girls, those poor girls are shipped off to get married and aren’t expected to have dreams and ambitions of their own. It doesn’t get much more boring than that.”

[hestiamarie]

It is!

Then they get all haughty when it's pointed out and act like I should keep my opinion to myself. It's not like they do, so I don't see why I should do it either. Bloody Hell, I can't believe they actually get engaged this young. I can't believe they like it, too!

[anne--of-brittany]

Well I guess the best thing to do both the things we want and also our responsibilities. Leaps of faith are good sometimes, getting out of your comfort zone and do new things.

[hestiamarie]

I'm going to do it then, I'll take a leap of faith. 

[loooneymoony]

"No, I don’t plan to at least. But thank you for that, for last time. You could’ve just left me there… teach me a lesson and everything."

[hestiamarie]

I doubt that'd have really taught you lesson, am I right? 

[theclaw-ted-tonks]

...

[theclaw-ted-tonks]

"Maybe there’s just a parasite or something in their brains making them bad. You can just remove it and end this whole war."

[hestiamarie]

Just give them a little zap and they actually become pleasant, nice people. Imagine Bellatrix after that. Honestly, it still sounds a bit scary to me. Even nice, she's scary!

I was told I shouldn't jump to conclusions when I told this pureblood society girl that I thought her life was boring. Which is, honestly. 

[theclaw-ted-tonks]

...

[theclaw-ted-tonks]

"Maybe we can even fix the blood purists."

[hestiamarie]

It'll take some work, but with a bit of brain surgery and some counseling, I think that's quite possible.

[theclaw-ted-tonks]

...

[theclaw-ted-tonks]

"Even if it was just a tiny bit of good."

[hestiamarie]

Or a lot of good.

[hestiamarie]

[theclaw-ted-tonks]

...

[theclaw-ted-tonks]

"And you could stitch all your patients up at St. Mungos and send them over to mine. You’d fix them physically and I’d fix them mentally. We’d be a team."

[hestiamarie]

Maybe we'd actually do the world some good, too.

[theclaw-ted-tonks]

...

[theclaw-ted-tonks]

"I could be the optimist and say they could all come to their senses but… we both know that wouldn’t be realistic."

"I dunno, I’ve never thought about it. I think maybe help people who lose their loved ones, like grief counseling or something. And maybe letting people hide in my house from blood purists."

[hestiamarie]

No, sadly ... it wouldn't.

I think that'd be a good idea. You could do a lot of good with that and they have a Psychiatric Ward at St. Mungos or you could even do it at home. 

[anne--of-brittany]

Yes there is, and well the weather is warm so I think that will help.

Don’t worry about that, I’m sure they will come true. You’re very capable, things just have to come naturally. I think there is a lot on your life.

[hestiamarie]

I'll do it then.

What happens when our life is at a stand still then? We've got time, that's what we always say, but then years pass us by, because we get caught up in what we're supposed to do. We're supposed to study, we're supposed to find a job. Then we're old and we're filled with regret. 

I can wait until it feels natural, but sometimes, you just have to take a leap of faith. I want to do things now. 

[theclaw-ted-tonks]

...

[theclaw-ted-tonks]

"Is that what this is gonna be like, do you think? Like World War II but with magic?"

"Well you want to be a healer, right? So you can be in the background helping. I think I’d do something like that, not healing obviously. But something that would help without having to hurt anyone."

[hestiamarie]

Yeah, yeah. I think it's a big possibility right now. 

If not in the next few years, then sometime in the future. There's been tension building for years and ... I hoped it wouldn't be like this, but how can it not be? 

Like what? 

[theclaw-ted-tonks]

...

[theclaw-ted-tonks]

"I just don’t understand their strategy, you know? Why attack a defenseless girl? It’s not like that makes people want to join in their cause. If anything, it makes them look weak."

"I know I should stay and fight but… I just kind of want to stay out it."

[hestiamarie]

I think they're trying to send a message to people. It was clear that they had one goal and it was to kill that little girl, which I don't think makes them look weak at all. Hitler killed thousands of children, even babies. That didn't make him weak, it made him terrifying, because he was human and he could ... he was willing to do that. 

That's what scares me the most, the fact that they're willing to do that.

I ... I want to stay out of it, but I also know that if someone I know and love was hurt, I'd have to do something. I would do something, even in the smallest of ways.

[loooneymoony]

"Not so much of either really? I’ve just been drinking a little… She has a broom closet though?" He felt himself laugh. "Well, that’s interesting."

[hestiamarie]

That she does. Marlene offered it to me once when I wasn't feeling all that great, so I could go her route and drink if I needed to. You planning on getting drunk again? I'm not sure I know the password for this week, I'm afraid, so I can't levitate you back if you're passed out.

[loooneymoony]

"Well, we’d have Marlene to thank for that, I suppose."

[hestiamarie]

She has stashes all around the school?

That's not surprising, I guess. Then you got that from her stash somewhere? She's got one in this Broomcloset that she told me about. Are you drunk or just buzzed then? 

[loooneymoony]

[hestiamarie]

I'm always shocked when it comes to the students of Hogwarts finding alcohol. They're always finding some somewhere around here, in the oddest of places, too. You'd think that the school is magically creating it or something.
