Personally, I'm just wondering why the "time deviant" curfew is still more lenient than that of muggle-borns.

Anyway, my real point is this: for any of those lost from your own times that know your way around a cauldron, I'm offering work. It's only part-time, but it's all I have. My shop, Auturgy, is in Diagon Alley - if you can't find it, just ask 'round for Lily Evans and you'll find me soon enough.

If you have problems working under a muggle-born, don't bother applying.

Do you still have a spot for me?

[fishpetals]

Of course! I didn't forget about you.

[westhamwizard]

Good.

Thanks again, for doing this for us displaced. You really don't have to, but it's real nice of you to offer.

[fishpetals]

No thanks needed. It helps everyone involved, yeah?

[westhamwizard]

Yeah, I suppose it does.

I'll see you at work tomorrow?

[fishpetals]

Natch. You'll be out and about by the time I can open up.

I agree. Any curfew is mental. I don't see what it's supposed to accomplish besides the obvious.

[fishpetals]

The obvious being to prevent the disappearances of people like me from getting any worse than they already are, of course. Someone's targeting us and while there are hiccups and annoyances in the system I don't mind turning in early until things are sorted.

Potter? What's your given name?

[secondpotter]

R-right. Of course. Everyone's safety is far more important than the frivolous ease of, I dunno, say, living your own life however you please. But, let's hope this is temporary.

Albus Severus, but it's a mouthful. Albus works fine.

[fishpetals]

[ lily has a lot more annoyances with the system than she's letting on, but hey, best not to openly criticize the ministry. most things are fine. ]

It's been going on for a very long time, but one can hope.

[ A VERY LONG PAUSE in which there are many false starts - the writing begins words, scratches them out, and finally settles on: ]

You're named after Severus?

[secondpotter]

Three famous names. The first two after the bravest men my Dad ever knew, or so he tells me.

Maybe I should come by your shop? Might be easier to introduce myself in person than over text.

[fishpetals]

That might be for the best, yes. Please do come by.

[secondpotter]

See you then.

Three guesses why, and the first two don't count.

Because they figure some of us might be purebloods and that's all these ministry pricks care about.

[Things Ron does not care about: blood status. Things at the top of the list of shit he cares about: curfew!!

--Also the fact that he is apparently talking to Harry's mum and Harry doesn't exist yet and everything is bonkers.]

[fishpetals]

Then the muggle-born displaced would be under the muggle-born time constraints, wouldn't they? If it were only about that.

[ ronald pls. ]

[fishpetals]

You think so?

[alwaysreturns]

[don't hate appreciate]

Sounds like a loophole worth exploiting. [i.e. don't trust the ministry never tell the truth lie about everything forever!!!]

[fishpetals]

Does it? I wouldn't know.

privated.

And so, which would you be, Mssr. Weasley?

private

[alwaysreturns]

Just one of the ones who think this whole thing is barking.

[Ron will eventually get better at caution. eventually.]

ad infinitum.

[fishpetals]

How so? Call me a curious party and explain your thoughts because people are disappearing at alarming rates when out after curfews.

Most people believe it all to be a good move.

[ caution would probably be wise, yes. ]

[alwaysreturns]

How d'you know it's not the ministry doing the disappearing?

[He doesn't realize that probably sounds insane to someone not coming from where he's coming from, not yet anyway.]

Restricting people is never a good move, especially if all they're basing it on is blood status. Not with the people who're in charge.

[fishpetals]

Why in the world would the Ministry do that?

[ YEAH IT SOUNDS REAL NUTS ]

No one has any better ideas, unfortunately. However, it's based off of the danger level presented. Since muggle-borns are being targeted more, the restrictions are tighter.

It's awful but there's little to be done for it.

[alwaysreturns]

So they're punishing the victims, and doing nothing to take care of the problem?

[His writing is rushed; he is Very Angry, and feels only completely bizarre trying not to argue with Harry's mum.]

You don't know what these people are capable of yet. The ones running the ministry. Everything is wrong here, [E V E R Y T H I N G] but they're just the same.

[fishpetals]

Most view it as a protection rather than a punishment.

Something I've heard rather a lot recently from the displaced.
