Two questions, and neither of them have anything to do with each other.

[Oh that's fine, hello to you too, Draco. It's nice to see you sitting in front of what looks like a giant map of...the universe, perhaps. At least it's Draco's thoughts on the universe with various planets, constellations, and the like scattered across it. It should also be noted that Draco's face has a few colored lines on it from the markers, paints and ink he's using. His sleeves are rolled up to his elbows and he's still severely in need of a haircut seeing how his bangs are flopping right in his eyes. He was originally planning to go outside to test his newly leveled-up flight abilities, but with how cold it's been out and how recently he's finally shaken his flu? No. Way. In Hell.

But that's not the important part here. He's not looking at the bracelet as he addresses the city again, but rather he's continuing to etch lines and draw another red circle.]

So. Who do you think you are? And where can I find a decent telescope?

Answer to the best of your ability.

...

[Well...]

...His... body got destroyed.

...may I ask how?

...

We got attacked by robbers, and he was stuck in the body of a gusk. We didn't have time, so he told me to get out safely...

He needed to protect his research, so he set off the traps in the house. It all caught on fire...

[...It hurt to think about. That cabin had been the very first place she could call a home, and watching it go up in flames was one of the worst moments in her life.]

[Unfortunately, he's going to keep asking questions.]

What's a gusk?

[At the very least, she can recite calmly enough. She'd had to, once the police came asking.]

They're these small animals, about this big [She indicates the size of a medium rodent] and white. They have two really fluffy tails, and they live in the forest.

And how did he get stuck in the body of an animal?

It was part of an experiment. The power to switch bodies... But since we were attacked in the middle of it, he didn't have time to go back to his original one.

Both his body and the soul of the gusk were lost.

Sounds a bit problematic. [A bit being an understatement.] Isn't there anyone else besides you?

[Just a bit, yes!]

Besides me? What do you mean?

Were you the only apprentice?

Mm. I was the only assistant there. I'm still not even sure why he picked me...

[She cared for her Master very much, but that didn't change the fact that she had no magical ability back home.]

You never thought to ask?

Well... Even when I told him I'm no good with magic, he told me I could do it. And I really wanted to help him after he did so much for me, so...

[Not... really.......]

And now you'll never know. Doesn't that bother you?

...A little.

[Just the fact that she would never hear him speak again was troubling, really.]

...But at the same time, he is always there for me. Or-- at home, he is. Even though he's stuck in the body of a gusk, he always helps me out when I have trouble, or cheers me up when I feel sad. So I'm glad about that...!

Nothing perturbs you, does it?

P-pre--perturbs?

[She's ten Malfoy, you might wanna dumb down your language a bit there.]

Bothers. Nothing bothers you.

...Oh. Umm... I wouldn't say that.

...then?

...I cry a lot. Even when I shouldn't, I just can't help it.

So... actually, a lot of things bother me, even if they're small.

So then how are you going to go about fixing them?

...

I don't know.

[Eloquent as always, but... She really has no idea what she could do about it.]

...you've time to decide, I suppose.

Mm... I won't be able to take my memories of this place home with me, but...

Once I get back, I'll probably have to do something eventually...
