This is a surprise.

Has everyone received a picture too?

I wonder if this is only another way to toy with us.  It isn't very funny.

Hermione?

... what did you get a picture of?

[dragon_and_vine]

My parents.

Did you get anything?

[rons_a_keeper]

... oh.

No. Maybe my Christmas gift sort of counts, though I don't know where everyone seems to be finding these pictures, now that the Christmas trees are gone.

[dragon_and_vine]

It was on the bulletin board. Have you checked? I didn't see anything, but I wasn't paying very much attention admittedly.

[axionestin]

But on the other hand, isn't it nice to see those faces again?

[dragon_and_vine]

It is nice.

It just makes me a bit sad.

[axionestin]

Look on the bright side -- they're alive, safe, and you'll see them again.

[dragon_and_vine]

You're right. They're probably safe. I didn't leave them in the best position but it's better off than here, right?

[errant_angel]

I think everything here is meant to toy with us.

[dragon_and_vine]

That's discouraging, but then again, you're right, what isn't?

[errant_angel]

I wonder if they knew what effects their gifts would have. Some are happy to have them, and others...

[dragon_and_vine]

I'm not unhappy to have mine. It's not something I was expecting though. Nor really wanting. Did you get anything?
