Hello again. I've been giving a bit of advice out to people who need help with dealing with lost ones. I've never used it myself, actually, but it doesn't seem like a bad idea. When we got here, me and my friends, we were astonished we couldn't speak to anyone from back home. Back home, you just send an owl, you see, and you can usually find anyone you're looking for. Well, here, that isn't really possible, especially if someone's gone.

[Harry pauses to carefully consider his words. He doesn't want to sound like someone who's experienced a lot of loss, which makes this harder. His parents, Sirius, they'll wonder why he's so used to this, so he decides to leave that part out. If anyone wishes to know, he'll tell them somewhere else—or just hope that his parents aren't so involved that they'll listen to every conversation he has. They haven't given him that impression, anyway.]

My point is—I've recommended that people write letters. They might find their way to where they belong sooner or later. Luna liked the idea, and I've been considering taking it up myself. And that's just to tell people from home things.

So ... yeah. It might help. But sorry for all your losses.

[Harry feels like that's enough.]

There is one more thing. I contacted a number of people about training. Merlin, Lancer ... others. But then the battle happened and my parents showed up, and, er, most of the meetings were meant to take place during that battle, which obviously, they just couldn't. Since the bracelets have still been acting up, I've been holding off on contacting anyone again, but if you received a message from me, I'm still very much interested. I'd make it easier and contact you directly, but I'm not counting on the messages making it to you just yet.

Right, that's all.

I hope you have loads of fun with that.

You--

You're mean.

Maybe, or maybe you're not seeing what's actually happening right now. Every time you exhibit an emotion while speaking to someone else? You're helping what you hate. I reckon that it's a good idea to remind someone who's forgotten.

They didn't give me any choice in that! I don't want to help them; they didn't even ask.

You can't expect me to just not talk to anyone ever! With my best friend gone! I'd be so lonely. [She huffs. Like it was totally Harry's idea in the first place. Right.]

Yeah, they made the mistake in thinking that people wouldn't want to see their worlds blown up.

[He hesitates.]

By which I mean not everyone is meant for this. No one will ever be completely meant for it, but some are meant for it more than others.

Either way, you don't have to ignore everyone to prove a point. In fact, it seems like you ... I dunno, might be able to forget that it does rather quickly ... [Especially since, from what he could see, she had already forgotten.]

[She's very quiet while he talks, only breathing (semi-loudly) through her nose, her lips turned down.]

Well.

They're stupid for getting us into this situation anyway.

[Way to go, Nev. You got the point of everything he was saying. Except not. It was a nice try, Harry.]
