004 | Harry Potter | [ Voice ]

[troublefindsme]

[ Some of you may or may not recognize the voice over the Journal as belonging to one Harry Potter, the boy who lived. It's been awhile and he's just been informed what month it is so he's feeling a bit awkward and very confused. But hey! at least he's getting free food! ]

So apparently it's not actually February anymore and I've been gone a few months.

I was on the ship Charming Murderess until-well, for me it was just yesterday-but the point is-does anyone know where my-er crew is?

I know the name's a bit-er... alarming but I don't think anyone on it was actually a murderer. Hopefully that's not changed.

I believe the ship you're looking for is now called the Sea Princess.

Welcome back to the sea, stranger. I'm afraid I don't recognize your voice.

[Voice]

[troublefindsme]

Oh! Thanks! Sea Princess is probably better received than 'murderess'

And I'm Harry, Harry Potter. Nice to meet you.

[Voice]

[thetruehistorian]

It isn't so much the ship itself but the crew upon it that makes a difference. People in my world were afraid of a ship called "Going Merry".

It's a pleasure to meet you. Surname Harry? Or do you come from a culture where your given name comes first?

[Voice]

[troublefindsme]

Ah-yeah. Given name first-sorry. I'm just used to that, I guess.

And really? But that kind of sounds like it should be a cruise liner or something.

[Voice]

[thetruehistorian]

If one can't take their own culture for granted, what can they? My name would be Robin Nico, by your standards. The ship was the vessel of an up and coming pirate rookie from East Blue. He snuck past the Marines in Loguetown and took the Grand Line by storm, it seems. There are rumors he was involved in the civil war at Arabasta, before he shook the world by devastating the judicial island of Enies Lobby. Sounds like quite a troublemaker, wouldn't you agree?

[arcadiasailor]

[Oh Draco's friend.]

It always seemed like a decent name for a pirate ship. My ship back in the Sea of Stars is the Death Shadow.

Sad to report she was scuttled at least a month ago according to young Link. They have a new ship now.

Last saw the Sea Princesses on the Ghost Race starting line.

Voice

[troublefindsme]

[ W O W. He is not his friend. ]

Death Shadow? [ You can't see it but he's making a face. Why would you want to name a ship such a thing? ]

Urm.. when was that? [ Maybe, if he's lucky he can still catch up! ]

Re: Voice

[arcadiasailor]

[But the kid kept noting you were gone, that's gotten rare.]

That's the reaction we're looking for. We picked out Arcadia for the new ships my friends been building.

Saturday, you on Empieza or at Port Chance like the other newcomer?

Voice

[troublefindsme]

Port Chance, I asked around a bit to get a better grip on my bearings. Though, I might have to just catch up with them next month-I've heard the race ends here too.

[voice]

[dragonbadfaith]

[Flipping through his journal in a bored way and then SUDDENLY -- Potter's voice. What.

Cue Draco sitting up too quickly and them promptly falling out of his hammock, landing with a loud oomph. So you might hear some crashing about for a moment as he gets himself situated before he finally speaks.]

Potter?!

[voice]

[troublefindsme]

[ ... ]

[ You know, if he didn't know any better he might have mistaken that for worry. Weird. ]

Malfoy?

[voice]

[dragonbadfaith]

[Pffft bah, worry, no......now he just sounds annoyed. Probably more than is necessary.]

You tosser, where the bloody hell have you been? It's been months!

[voice]

[troublefindsme]

Yeah, I've just been informed.

Honestly, I just went to bed when it was still February and then it was July. [ You don't have to tell him how stupid it sounds, he is very well aware. ]

So the ship has a new name then?

[thethundersaid]

[He hadn't spoken much to Harry when he was around, but it's hard not to miss the sound of Draco's voice coming from earlier in the entry and piece the identity together.]

We're now the Sea Princess. You're saying you remember what happened before you disappeared?

[troublefindsme]

Not exactly. I remember it was February when I went to bed but it's obviously not anymore. I couldn't tell you where I've been all this time.

[thethundersaid]

[That's -- new.]

You don't know where you've been? You didn't return to your own world at all?

[troublefindsme]

No, just woke up here.

Voice

[sun_goddess_sacrifice]

Ah! The companion Draco dono has been so concerned over has returned. He must be glad to have a friend back.

I am also glad to see you well after such a departure. Perhaps with three of you, as students, your studies will go better.

Voice

[troublefindsme]

Concerned? I think you've got it wrong, he was probably celebrating-!

Hang on. Three students? There's another? [ Ron? Hermione? ]

Voice

[sun_goddess_sacrifice]

He complained often about your disappearance.

A young lady, quite sheltered. She is of relation to Draco dono.

Voice

[troublefindsme]

Complained or bragged? [ He can't stop himself from asking. ]

Relation? [ Oh great. Another Malfoy. ]

voice

[forthevillage]

Ah. So you've returned.

Unfortunate, but another pair of hands is always appreciated.

voice

[troublefindsme]

Unfortunate? It's not so bad here. [ He can think of at least ten places that would definitely be worse. ]

voice

[forthevillage]

Maybe not, for some. Most seem to want to return to their own world more than they want to stay here, however. [Himself included, though more importantly he wants to see that his brother gets home.]

Is that not the case for you?

voice

[troublefindsme]

[ In truth, Harry actually kind of likes it here. He knows that he has things to go back to but since it seemed like the wizarding world has all gone to Hell lately it was nice to just get away from everything-wizarding and muggle worlds alike. It had been disorienting at first but just the breath of fresh air he had needed. ]

Not really. I mean, I like my school just fine but just getting away from it hasn't been so bad.
