Yeah, the whole thing started with Deirdre needling Em over a bundle of stupid little things, and Em sniping back like he couldn't help himself, and then it turned into You Never and You Always and just, ugh, I'm hoping it's just frustrations boiling over and it will all clear up once the holidays pass.
And I took this behind the lock so I can say flat out that one day we're going to be able to get rid of that stinking tinpot dictator and his stinking flock of cronies and when that happens I am going to find Lucius sodding Malfoy's grave and piss on it. Because, ugh. I think about Malfoy sliming all over a perfectly lovely girl like Penny because she's 'only' three-quarters pure, and I think about a witch like Hermione being able to come up with those coins out of nothing but the bits of classes and reading she's been able to do when Marvolo feels like letting her like he's doing her a fucking favour when she's ten times the intellect he'll ever be, and it just infuriates me even more.
Because in a just world, Hermione would already be collecting dozens of offers to go into private research or write her own ticket at the Ministry, and Tonks would be making waves in the Auror Department, and Terry would be curled up in the library devouring whatever book he could get his hands on and worried about upcoming exams, and Lucius sodding Malfoy would be rotting in a cell in Azkaban as the Dementors' midnight snack.
Anyway.
Yeah, I'm going to pin that admission of yours up to admire when I wind up in a mood like this, because I never thought I'd hear it. And it is cheering me up, ta muchly.
Protecting that pawn isn't going to do much, though. Rad1.
(Also, I just had a horrible realisation: if anybody's really on the ball and reading our messages, both the ones in Mum's journal and then our private messages after, they could realise we were playing a chess game that hadn't been started in the journals where they could see, since we started this one under the lock and have been playing it out in a combination of places. We'd better get our stories straight -- worst case scenario, if anybody says anything, we started this one when I stopped by a few weeks ago, and it's just been taking us a while to get back to it.)
