[005 || Written]

Dear magical journal thing that I'm feeling slightly more ambivalent towards as of late even though your pages are continuously filled with useless drivel that I can't be bothered to read,

I recently acquired a broom.

It's not as good as my Nimbus back home, but it'll do.

If anyone on my crew needs me — ha — check the skies.

- Draco Malfoy

P.S. I also purchased some chocolate frogs but one of them seems to have gone missing. Do feel free to alert me if you hear any out of place ribbits on board, but really, they've usually only got one decent jump in them so he can't have gone far.

[Itachi is still holding the bottom half of the frog when he speaks up.]

I assume you got them from Miss Margie's shop.

Do you normally only get to eat one of three you purchased? [Especially at Margie's sometimes cutthroat prices, that's quite an outlay.]

Miss Margie, yes, and normally I eat all of them. These do seem rather more curious than normal. They're not often so animated.

Do you like jelly beans? Next time I'll order some Bertie Bott's. Those are always a favorite.

I don't know what jelly beans are, but I believe I will pass on further candies from your world.

[He pops the other half of the frog in his mouth after he says this.]

Are the jelly beans also going to run around and be a nuisance?

[Sasuke watches the frog disappear, looking to see if it struggles ... it doesn't.]

No, they're perfectly normal. They just have a lot of flavors.

When you say a lot of flavors... How does that vary from usual jelly beans?

[They sound harmless enough in that case, Sasuke shrugging at Itachi.]

As long as they don't jump on their own, I don't care what you buy.

[The younger ninja just gives his brother a look.]

I don't spend my money on candy.

Well, these are usual jelly beans in my world. Bertie Bott's is just the brand. I promise you, they sit quite still in whatever bowl you pour them into.

I mean if Draco wants to spend his money on candy to leave around the ship.

Of course. He's free to spend his own money on whatever he wants. Sweets may be more of a priority to some.

Says the bloke eating my chocolate.

Your chocolate literally flung itself into our hands.

You did encourage me to eat it. I had assumed you didn't want it back.

Oh, I didn't. It was hopping all over the ship, who knows what it might've gotten into.

[That's a valid point. Sasuke gives Itachi a much more dubious look at this point.]

... when did you say you brought these on board? [This is to the journal -- trying to work out just how much time that frog might have had to get into everything.]

I'm sure I've eaten worse on missions.

[This is muttered lowly so that Draco might not be able to hear it. The last thing Itachi wants is his brother worrying about him over a candy frog.]

[Cheerfully:]

It's been a few weeks! I got them right when we went off to battle that bloody pirate witch.

[A few weeks ... and when all that mess was happening -- Sasuke's dubious look turns into one of suspicion, though it's not as if they can do anything about it now that it's already eaten.]

I've eaten worse too, brother, but at least it probably wasn't exploring the woods. [But he shrugs.]

Anyway, it's too late now. Draco can just eat any other ones we find wandering around.

And yet I assume it hasn't been out of its package that long. Unless you intended to waste money by just letting them roam the ship, you didn't lose it on purpose to begin with.

[He's not all that worried, really.]

I'm not sure how long it's been out. Anyway, that's the only one around. The second hopped off Link's ship into the ocean, and the third is still in its wrappings.

[It's almost weirder that one of them apparently committed suicide, but then the whole thing is weird.]

Just don't lose any more. [Sasuke's tone is one of someone washing his hands of the whole sweets adventure.]
