Seventeenth Hex-[Voice/Action]

[hisdarkmark]

[After about two and a half weeks, Draco's finally worked up enough nerve to go back to "his" lake. If anybody were to drop in and visit, they'd find him on his hands and knees, staring out into the water. He has his journal open like he was going to contact someone, but it seems as though he's second-guessing himself

[voice] /late to the party ;_;

[sacrificemyself]

... what are you on about, Malfoy?

[Not that he cares or anything. Because that would imply Malfoy's worth caring about. No, he's just curious.]

[voice] NONSENSE /hands over cake and a party hat

[hisdarkmark]

[There's a definite pause suddenly because urgh. Weasley. Let's see...be nice because it's Potter's best mate, or continue to aggravate and troll him for a while. Well, he shouldn't fix what's not broken!]

Go ahead and take a wild guess. Even you should be able to get it in about a dozen tries.

[voice] This wouldn't be Draco's birthday party, would it? Because my muse may force me to boycott.

[sacrificemyself]

[This is why Ron generally ignores him. And why this conversation will likely be short. Or long and ranty. Either works.]

Assuming I can be bothered enough to try and work it out for myself, you mean. You just sounded like more of a nutter than usual.

[voice] Nope, I don't think Draco deserves a party. This is a Happy Sunday party.

[hisdarkmark]

[Well hey, it could serve to be entertaining for Draco at least.]

I sound like a nutter? Have you met Luna Lovegood?

[voice]

[no_use_running]

Did something happen?

[voice]

[hisdarkmark]

Not exactly, no.

Re: [voice]

Anyway, about what you thought you saw, everyone's been having those kinds of hallucinations.

[voice]

[hisdarkmark]

And does anyone know why?

[action]

[loyalotter]

[Well that was cryptic. But in a way kind of not. After all... sixth year kind of sucked for everyone. So there's a certain bushy-haired blonde going out to the lake 'cause she just has a feeling he's there. Terri's tagging along this time.]

Draco?

[action]

[hisdarkmark]

[At least Hermione sort of got it. Either way, he seems to feel both Hermione and Terri's presence first before even seeing either of them out of the corner of his eye, seeing how he's still keeping his focus on the lake. Giant squid...show yourself!]

Hi. [Well, it's a start.]

[action]

[loyalotter]

[And he's staring into the lake. Wtf. She kneels down next to him, Terri between them, and peers into the water.]

Something there?

[action]

[hisdarkmark]

[Stilllll watching, though his hand slowly creeps over to more or less pet Terri on the head.]

...Granger, have you heard anything about people experiencing hallucinations lately?
