Self-realisation is difficult. But necessary. It feels a bit existentialist, to be honest. I'm not sure I'm fond of it.
[Private to Terry]
Do you idealise me? Am I put on a pedestal and thought to be perfect or near-perfect? I'm not, you know. Morag said that I am, but she's exaggerating.
She also said that we're perfectly healthy. Why is that? We don't talk to each other, except when I manage to make it to a meal. Of course we're perfect, there isn't any communication. I'm in love with someone I may not know, and who may not know me. Oh, God.
I'm dramatic, nosy, blunt, tactless, at times utterly boring, entirely too talkative, pushy, and annoying. My family is ten times worse. When you meet Papa he'll take you aside and ask you a million questions and not give you a chance to answer them. Nana will become annoyed and drag you away, ask the same questions, give you a biscuit, and not let you answer them because she'll be too busy talking as well. Uncle Luke will try to play a joke on you. Uncle Mark will take pity on you and then start threatening you with bodily harm if you hurt me in any way.
Mum and Dad will be the only normal ones there, and that will be until a Puddlemere match is on the wireless, as it inevitably will be because they always seem to sense when there is a Turpin family gathering.
But when it's the Lewis family, it's even worse, because they're all Muggles and and you've got a football match on the telly and another one on the radio in the kitchen because Nan and Pop like different teams. And they won't like you, on principal, because you're there to conceivably take me away from the family even though you really won't. Chris and I are the only grandchildren they see regularly because Auntie Suzanne*** and Uncle Richard live in Seattle because Uncle Richard is a wizard and a friend of Dad's from Hogwarts and he met Auntie Suzanne at Mum and Dad's wedding and they got married. Their kids go to school in the States. So Nan and Pop don't see my cousins over there and have always been possessive my time with them. And you might take away from that, unless you don't and then they'll love you.
Like I love you. See, that could be a problem, because I don't know you. I haven't been able to spend all of my time with you to make you sick of me and then realise that I love you and you don't want me. There are problems here. I'm also tired and rambling and I don't know half of what I'm saying, except for this: will you still even like me when you finally, really get to know me?
Hi. I'm such a coward.

What are your intentions concerning my best friend? That would be Morag.

[Private to Morag]
Please don't kill me. I've asked Michael and Draco what their intentions are concerning you. See? I am nosy and pushy.

[Private to Professor Lupin]
I'm allowed to tell you this; Mr Sparrows said it's necessary since you're the Defence professor. In any case, I'd like a meeting with you at your earliest convenience concerning my current endeavour to become an Unspeakable. That made no sense whatsoever.

((OOC: *** Yes, that does read Suzanne. A looooooooooooooong time ago, when Lisa first popped into my head, she came complete with family. That included Aunt Suzanne, who hasn't, thus far, made an appearance in any of my other games because she simply isn't necessary to the plot. So, uh, yeah.))
