miavi. un: gesneriana. anon.
I've always said there's no escaping the past, but this isn't exactly what I meant.
Were I a younger man, I think I might have tried to make a life here. As it stands now I just want to get home.
I've a question, however: is the registry being used to perhaps reunite those that may not find each other otherwise or is it simply a tracking mechanism? I personally don't need that sort of service but with the state of things it seems important to allow people familiarity.

Fingers crossed it's the kind that gets fixed. I'm not too keen on staying here.
no subject
I'm sure most of us just want to get home. No matter what home's like, it's still home in the end.

Anything is better than this horrifying place. At least during the war people knew things were wrong.

Merlin, you're telling me. I just want to shake near everyone I talked to.
So who AM I talking to?
no subject
Before I tell you, what year is it for you?

Can you understand my trepidation?
no subject
this is the most civil conversation he's ever had with Malfoy
or it was, anyway....
WHAT THE FUCK]
No. Can't imagine a Draco Malfoy who'd find this place horrifying, either, so what're you playing at?
no subject
What purpose could that possibly serve? I'm not here to argue with you.
I'm not playing at anything because it is horrifying. My son is here, Weasley. I want to get him home where things aren't like this.
no subject
blue screen. does not compute.
wait, right, Scorpius. Ugh. What business has Harry's kid got befriending a Malfoy? And why was that Malfoy at least halfway decent???
Everything is terrible and nothing makes sense and Ron would very much like to bail on this conversation.]
1997. Almost 1998.
[That is....the most civil thing he can manage, right now.]
no subject
he also supports his friendship with albus more than you do, apparently, but, well. ]
Can I safely assume someone's told you how the war ends by now?
no subject
I've got some details I still can't wrap my head around but it sounds like things work out all right.
Assuming us being here doesn't mean we've gone and ruined everything.
[this feels so weird!!!]
no subject
Whatever's been broken must be fixed. This can't be allowed to continue. It's only going to get worse and with everyone here supporting him, it's going to be too late before anyone realizes anything is wrong.
[ yes, he's saying tom riddle being in power is wrong. deal with it. ]
no subject
It's already too bloody late, they've been going on this curfew like it actually keeps people safe.
Wait what you do mean time gets SHAKY?
no subject
Incidents with long-range time-turners. Things get sorted out eventually, thankfully.
oh my god that icon. I actually choked
[This thirty year difference is really going to grate on him - not to mention, if it is actually Draco from the 2020s, he could just be making things up and passing them off as true.]
Yeah, the trace makes things difficult. [d u h malfoy]
Your son's got it. Dragged Harry's son to get it, too. [Is he still mad about this? Yes. spoiler.]
YOU'RE WELCOME
[ AHEM. MOVING ON. ]
I know. Trust me, I know. I'm not happy with the either of them. However, I woke up in the manor and I would have been caught if it wasn't for Scorpius. My father's set up surveillance around the whole damned place.
My father caught Albus. It wasn't Scorpius' fault.
[ thank you very much. ]

[You know that little growl Marge Simpson makes, that is the sound that is on repeat in Ron's head. He doesn't like talking to Adult Draco Malfoy. It's deeply weird. He also doesn't much like the idea that Adult Draco Malfoy's Son is not that bad of a bloke, because he's still a Malfoy and a Malfoy being decent is just not a thing that happens.
Not in 1997, anyway. Or 1980, probably, but all of this is going to give him a very big headache.]
Scorpius convinced him to go into the Ministry.
[Not that Ron had a compelling argument to get him to do otherwise, but whatever...]
