Reflections

Jan 30, 2005 18:05

It's raining outside, harsh gray water slanting down against the glass and turning it darker in streaks. If I look at it at from the right angle I see a watery reflection of myself - the inverse image of everything I am, or perhaps just of everything I wish I was ( Read more... )

Nev, are you okay? I'm around if you need to talk, mate.

not_invisible January 30 2005, 19:24:47 UTC

I'll be fine. Thanks.

shoseamus January 30 2005, 23:14:35 UTC

You sure about that?

not_invisible January 30 2005, 23:16:03 UTC

No, but I have no choice.

That's why you shouldn't read stories by muggle authors. They are rubbish.

not_invisible January 30 2005, 19:48:00 UTC

The muggles or the stories?

caustic_serpent January 30 2005, 19:59:13 UTC

Both.

What good have either done us?

not_invisible January 30 2005, 21:02:53 UTC

Shakespeare, Mozart, industrialized agriculture (okay ignore that last one). But stories can give us snapshots of life, lessons to learn, history that we may choose to repeat or not.

It is only a story Nev. Someone wrote it, and it doesn't truly have a reflection on anything real.

Besides, the woman was obviously alone. You aren't.

not_invisible January 30 2005, 19:50:23 UTC

Or maybe someone lived it?

Thanks, Harry. Neither are you.

tornprinceharry January 30 2005, 19:58:42 UTC

Who would live a life like that?

not_invisible January 30 2005, 20:01:37 UTC

I'm sure no one would choose to. It's just a metaphor anyway, I guess.

I'm here, Neville, you know that. I am not going to let you leave me.

You promised you wouldn't.

not_invisible January 30 2005, 20:39:12 UTC

It wasn't meant for you Luna. You didn't think I meant... because I didn't

I did, and I won't.

ravenclawdream January 30 2005, 20:44:50 UTC

Good. As long as you don't leave me and as long as you know I am always here, no matter what.

not_invisible January 30 2005, 20:48:03 UTC

I'm sorry.

starry_lavender January 30 2005, 20:54:45 UTC

I'm not sure what's happened, but do you need one of those hugs I promised you?

I just found out something terrible about Cho Chang, so if you just need to listen to someone, I can do that, too.

not_invisible January 30 2005, 20:56:49 UTC

Yes, squared. And I really could use another laugh at some point.

Thanks Lav.

starry_lavender January 30 2005, 21:03:13 UTC

Just name the time and place and I'll be there. You really wouldn't believe what's happened!

not_invisible January 30 2005, 21:15:28 UTC

Soon. I have no idea where.
