I'm not- surprised or anything.

[His voice is soft, yet angry.]

But you Gryffindors have to be the most useless of the lot. Can't even band together when there's an emergency. No, you've got to split up and die separate, like a bloody herd of sheep. 's good that there's one less of you, really.

[A long pause, and he slowly gets over himself.

And because he can't filter messages and generally sucks at everything that doesn't involve spellcraft...]

Vi- I found a better table than the one we're using. A couple candles too, for light. Want to meet me in a bit?

Stop goading people, dumbass.

And sure, I don't have anything to do.

[the-noble-black.livejournal.com]

It's their own fault.

[He yawns.]

Okay, but you're gonna have to meet me here and help me with the table.

[effyourcupcake.livejournal.com]

How is it their fault someone was sent home?

Where are you?

[the-noble-black.livejournal.com]

Oh, that. [He shrugs, but doesn't really have anything more to say in his defense.]

[x,y]

[effyourcupcake.livejournal.com]

Dumbass. Give me ten minutes, and knock it off with the sibling rivalry in the mean time.

[the-noble-black.livejournal.com]

Hey- look, he started it.

[effyourcupcake.livejournal.com]

That is so much the opposite of true I'm amazed you can say it with a straight face.

[the-noble-black.livejournal.com]

He did! They all did- they're being idiots, and I'm just calling them out on it.

[effyourcupcake.livejournal.com]

Are you twelve? Knock it off.

[the-noble-black.livejournal.com]

You don't know what happened.

[Grouching.]

[effyourcupcake.livejournal.com]

What happened?

[Curious.]

[the-noble-black.livejournal.com]

Long story.

[Sigh.]

I'll tell you when you get here.

[effyourcupcake.livejournal.com]

Two minutes.

[The feed clicks off.]

[Offline] continuing here so we don't kill the post

[the-noble-black.livejournal.com]

I didn't do much.

[He shrugs.]

It's just- good to have someone around your age to talk to.

[offline] good call

[effyourcupcake.livejournal.com]

I know the feeling, yeah. I was friends with Rei, but even she's a little older.

[offline]

[the-noble-black.livejournal.com]

That whole crowd acts twice their age.

[Regulus is older than Rei, sob.]

It's hard to be a teenager here.

[effyourcupcake.livejournal.com]

And not a hyper-powered one.

I mean, you've got magic, even if you can't get at it right now.

[the-noble-black.livejournal.com]

Sometimes, when I get really mad, uncontrollable stuff happens.

[He grins at her.]

It mostly happens to kids before they get their first wand. Like- pent up magical energy, you know? But now that I can't perform any spells or anything, the magic will have to find another way out.

[effyourcupcake.livejournal.com]

...that sounds ridiculously cool. Oh my god, I hope I'm there.

[offline]

[the-noble-black.livejournal.com]

[Regulus actually laughs. It sounds- kind of nice.]

Well, just hope I don't do anything bad. When I was seven, I banished one of the table legs because I didn't want to eat my vegetables. Took dad hours to figure out the counterspell.

[effyourcupcake.livejournal.com]

We can get a new table.

[offline]

[the-noble-black.livejournal.com]

True.

[He likes his table though.]

I'm learning all sorts of ways muggles cope without magic here. Don't tell anyone, but it's kind of fascinating. I've never used matches before.

[effyourcupcake.livejournal.com]

And don't turn into a pyro.

[offline]

[the-noble-black.livejournal.com]

Of course not. I burn myself too much.

[Holding up his hand to show the little white marks on his fingers, where he'd failed miserably with the matches.]

...oh hey, unrelated note, we might be getting a cat.
