Where did you go?

The Longbottoms aren't the only ones who hate me.

[alt_jason]

Do you want them to not hate you?

What I'm asking is: do you simply want to avoid their sneers? Or do you want to change their opinion of you?

I rather enjoy it when people sneer at me. It means I've done something worth remembering.

[alt_seamus]

I don't know what I want.

Other than not to get hexed for going to lunch.

I'm back at the castle. Do you want to come down and eat with me?

It could be interesting. Maybe Draco Malfoy will be here, with that girlfriend of his. Funny, that. You should have heard the stuff he spouted at parties one or two years ago. Reckon he was acting all along? Or is there some part of him that will always be the spoilt Malfoy scion?

Here's how I see it: You've always been exceptionally good at adapting to whatever situation you were put into. You had to be good at it, or else you might have been dead.

Pretty sure that these people, at least, don't want to kill you.

And if they do, I'll know.

But if you'd rather I get something from the kitchens and bring it up, I can do that, too.

[alt_seamus]

If you're here, I'll come eat with you.

[alt_seamus]

And some of them definitely want to kill me.

But I trust you to keep me safe.

[alt_jason]

Well, good.

It'll all be all right, Seamus.
