Dear magic diary that the entire world can read, so no, I shan't be writing down my innermost thoughts, you great dirty wanker,

I'm bored. I've exhausted my supply of spellbooks and I think if I see the words 'Defense', 'Dark' or 'Arts' again in the near future, I shall blast them straight from the page. Or hex the person's mouth shut who dared to say them in my presence.

I believe it might be time to check with Miss Margie again to see if she has anything more advanced available. Or at the very least, perhaps I should see about setting up a potions lab onboard. I'm dreadfully behind in that subject, which is utter bollocks considering it's the best one. I don't know that I'd be able to keep a readily available stash of supplies here, though. And probably working with potions on a wooden ship isn't the brightest idea.

Alas.

It's unfortunate that being able to Apparate isn't entirely useful in this world. I'm going to ask my mother to teach me anyway. It'll save me having to take a long trip from my quarters to the galley, in any case.

Potter disappeared again awhile back, I don't believe I mentioned it. Though none of you care, and you're right not to, because he's a tit.

Sasuke is gone now, too. And Itachi. I've no one to confuse with my chocolate frogs anymore.

Is that bloke with the dragon still here? I don't think I ever actually spoke to him, but Sasuke drew a picture of the dragon once. Even though it looked like a bug. Dragons in my world are generally quite vicious, so if that one is still here and hasn't yet set fire to the ship it's sailing on, that's really very interesting.

I'd like to see him.

- Draco Malfoy

P.S. Did anyone kill that Corpse King nutter?

Someone sounds bored.

We didn't kill him, but we burned the hell out of his ship and crew. Got what they deserved.

[written]

[dragonbadfaith]

Seeing as how the second sentence I wrote was a declaration of that fact... [There's a long, noticeable pause before more writing shows up.] Yes. Bored.

Oh, good. Cheers. A member of my crew was hoping to be the one to finally kill him, but I imagine she won't be displeased that he's been bloodied up some.

*Probably a good job he couldn't see or hear her yawning, then, when he started talking again*

Is that right? She can still go after him, only she might want to wait until he's rested otherwise it won't be any fun for her.

[written]

[dragonbadfaith]

I don't know that she's looking for any fun. I think she just wants him dead.

[voice]

[youhearthebells]

The what with the dragon? I'm guessin' you mean Toothless. Yeah, he's with us, doin' fine. We got two dragons now.

[voice]

[dragonbadfaith]

The bloke -- the boy. Honestly...

[Pause.]

Toothless. [There's a distinct "really?" sort of tone to that.] That's...well, no matter. How did you end up with two??

[voice]

[youhearthebells]

Clanmate of his showed up, with her dragon. So, yanno, of course I'm gonna invite her into my crew, because who wouldn't want two dragons?

[voice]

[dragonbadfaith]

Likely anyone with a brain... And on a ship, at that! They breathe fire, you know. I'm sure you must be aware of that.

But I gather these dragons aren't like the ones where I'm from. There must be something different about them. Are they very big?

[secondsmarch]

What's so bad about those three words?

[dragonbadfaith]

It's the subject I've been studying. Defense Against the Dark Arts.

There, see? You've made me write them out, and now I shall have to blast them away.

[And he does indeed do that, spelling the ink away from the journal paper with a quick flick of his wand. AKA he erases them.]

[secondsmarch]

[Well that just happened.]

You could've simply stopped after the first sentence, you know.

[dragonbadfaith]

My handwriting is so pleasing to look at, though.

I did say I was bored.

[Voice]

[summing_it_up]

Excuse you, I'm that 'bloke' – whatever that means. And he doesn't look like a bug. Toothless' eyes are just huge, okay? It helps him see things.

–Hey, wait, you sound familiar.

[Voice]

[dragonbadfaith]

It means boy, honestly, are you people really this daft??

[SIGH. He's surrounded by fools.]

It wasn't the dragon that looked like a bug, I'm sure he's very ferocious and all that...even though you've named him Toothless... The drawing of him, however, was another matter.

[There's a beat, and then:]

And I don't believe I've ever spoken to you before in my life, so I don't know what you're on about.

[Voice]

[summing_it_up]

I come from a very different world, okay? We don't have words like that!

Well. Artist interpretations are like that. But Toothless does have big eyes– he can be very ferocious when he needs to.

[As he listens some more, he remembers something.]

Wait a minute, I think you did! Except you were growling and farting in my general direction.

[Voice]

[dragonbadfaith]

[Whatever else he might've said gets swept away by that last sentence.

Instead, he just gapes at his journal.]

Growling and— Excuse you, I was doing no such thing! I would never—wait.

[Oh no.

He groans.]

Was this when that whole...bodies being stolen by others debacle was going on?

[yatteyanyo]

-So now that she outranks Draco, she's really under no obligation to do any of this, but she feels after that whole mist incident, she has a lot to make up for. So here she is, with a cup of soup and an apple.-

I'd say courtesy of the chef, but I still get along rather poorly with him, so I just made a batch myself. I'm sorry to hear your studies have reached a block, but I don't doubt you'll be able to continue soon enough.

[action]

[dragonbadfaith]

I'll just have to get more spellbooks. I know there's an advanced seventh year text that Miss Margie didn't provide me with last time.

[He takes the soup, raising the cup toward her.]

Cheers. I like yours better anyway.

Re: [action]

[yatteyanyo]

Well, it warms the heart to hear that, I suppose. -And yet she still doesn't look like she's in any better a mood.-

I see there is someone around who knows how to make potions. It's always a good thing to know.

written;

[dragonbadfaith]

Of course I know how. I just lack everything needed to do so.

written;

[behindthefakesmile]

I thought I was the only one, so I am surprised to say the least, but I've found you can use anything to make potions. I for one if I needed to make a potion would make use of the galley, but would use instruments that weren't part of the cooking process.

All you would need is ingredients.

[the_blond_black]

Limited though it is, I've found apparition to still be useful here. I could teach you, though I would like to wait until I've set up the necessary precautions. Until then, I believe a potions lab would be a great investment. There are ways to safeguard the ship from any effects brewing may cause. Do you have enough money to purchase one?

[voice]

[dragonbadfaith]

Precautions such as...? Perhaps I could help prepare them? Thank you, though. It's something I've been wanting to learn.

I spent a good bit of my money to get the spellbooks I currently have... Sasuke always said I could borrow more from the ship if it was for something necessary, though. And he considered my studying necessary. I wanted to get a book on Animagi, too. I suppose I could ask Link.

In any case, I'm not sure I have enough on my own to get everything necessary to start up a lab. The cost of the ingredients alone...

[voice]

[the_blond_black]

The potions from the lab would be an asset to all those aboard this ship, there should be no reason to be denied the funds to purchase one.

[She paused before making the rest of her reply private to Draco.]

Have you inherited Lucius' skill for potion making? I have a potion that I would like duplicated, though it is from another world. We must first discover its ingredients and how to brew it. Being able to duplicate this potion is also the precaution I mentioned. I admit that I didn't take much interest in learning advanced healing spells. This potion can heal severe wounds. It takes effect immediately and completely, as though there had never been an injury.
