004 | Harry Potter | [ Voice ]

[ 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.

But you are no longer eleven, meaning you've had time to live in that world and learn about it. If he has been after you, then surely you've learned something of his capabilities.

[Knowing one's enemy is important.]

Actually no, not really. I mean he's kind of been out of power for last fourteen years and a lot of people are too afraid to even say his name not to mention don't want to believe he's back.

So they aren't taking proper precautions?

Fear is natural, but too much fear only builds upon itself. Tell me, or more importantly my brother, what you know of this man. If he threatens you, he threatens all of us. Therefore it's our concern as well and it's important that the captain knows about it.

Nope. Actually, they've labeled me and anyone that says different a liar. [ Kind of an abrupt change from the near-hero status he'd had just a few months ago. ]

Thanks but I'd really rather no one else got killed for my sake.

[What terrible planning. Difficult foes weren't defeated by ignoring the threat. Some influence of his clearly affected the higher-ups.

His tone shifts slightly.]

I think you're mistaking that statement as a request.

Our crew needs to be aware of potential threats in order to best decide how to handle the issue. Should he appear, they are more likely to die if uninformed.

[ Well he can't exactly deny that as being true. If you're not expecting it you can't defend against it. ]

Well, I suppose that's true, but I've already given him a brief run down of Voldemort. It's me he'll want. There's no reason anyone else should get hurt.

[ Not that he won't try to fight if it comes to it but his first priority will be to keep everyone else safe as much as possible. ]
