"And Ravenclaws?" It's definitely not an invitation, but to make it clear, I add, "And Slytherins?"

Subject: Raven Mon Apr 01, 2013 5:41 pm

"Ravenclaw's have more brains than any other of them, so they get away easier, depending on their age. And I hardly ever attack Slytherin's."

Subject: Phoenix Mon Apr 01, 2013 5:43 pm

"Why not Slytherins? Surely it can't be just out of loyalty to your house. Every house has students in it that are irritating in some way."

Subject: Raven Mon Apr 01, 2013 5:45 pm

"Exactly. I only attack Slytherin's that bother me, which aren't a lot."

Subject: Phoenix Mon Apr 01, 2013 5:46 pm

"Hm." I mull this over for a moment, thinking. "I see now."

Subject: Raven Mon Apr 01, 2013 5:46 pm

I raise a brow, "See what?"

Subject: Phoenix Mon Apr 01, 2013 5:49 pm

"I see a little bit of your motivation. Not a lot, admittedly, because I just can't wrap my head around causing intentional pain to someone, but some."

Subject: Raven Mon Apr 01, 2013 5:50 pm

I roll my eyes, raising my wand again, "I'm getting bored again...."

Subject: Phoenix Mon Apr 01, 2013 5:52 pm

"Oh, come on. Have you ever just tried talking? I'd be willing to listen if you wanted to explain to me some more."

Subject: Raven Mon Apr 01, 2013 5:53 pm

"Has it ever occurred to you that I'm a Death Eater and very much enjoy the pain of others?"

Subject: Phoenix Mon Apr 01, 2013 5:54 pm

"The tip of the iceberg," I say dismissively. "That can't be the only reason you enjoy it."

Subject: Raven Mon Apr 01, 2013 5:56 pm

"Why let others get away from pain when that's all life is?"

OOC It just occurred to me how similar Jack and Raven are. Shocked

Subject: Phoenix Mon Apr 01, 2013 5:57 pm

((O.o))

"Because there is more than pain. There's happiness, Raven."

Subject: Raven Mon Apr 01, 2013 5:58 pm

"Only with good friends, there is..."

Subject: Phoenix Mon Apr 01, 2013 6:01 pm

"But that's no reason to harm strangers."

Subject: Raven Mon Apr 01, 2013 6:03 pm

"Life's unfair. Always has been and always will be! Why let anyone escape that reality?" I scowl, "What I do to them is nothing compared to what I went through..."

Subject: Phoenix Mon Apr 01, 2013 6:04 pm

"Yes, life is unfair," I allow. "I can understand that fully. But we must live with the hand we are dealt. I doubt you asked for what happened to you anymore than I asked to be bitten by a werewolf."

Subject: Raven Mon Apr 01, 2013 6:05 pm

I raise another brow, "You were bitten by a werewolf?" That makes me think of Crouch; he's a hybrid of both werewolf and vampire, but I know he enjoys it.

Subject: Phoenix Mon Apr 01, 2013 6:07 pm

"You didn't know? It's common knowledge now, has been for over a year." I raise a hand to touch my shoulder. "Happened a month before I started my first year."

Subject: Raven Mon Apr 01, 2013 6:22 pm

"Well, I don't really socialize with people, do I?"

Subject: Phoenix Mon Apr 01, 2013 6:24 pm

"Point taken." I sigh. "But look at me. I haven't let my furry little problem rule my life; look, I'm even joking about it. Yes, it's there, I get reminded of it every four weeks, but I don't let it control me."

Subject: Raven Mon Apr 01, 2013 6:26 pm

I roll my eyes, "And who says I'm letting my past control my life? It's my motivation, yes, but now things have turned out great! I have the best friend anyone could ever ask for and I'm Head Death Eater of Beauxbatons!"

Subject: Phoenix Mon Apr 01, 2013 6:29 pm

"I never said it was," I point out.

Subject: Raven Mon Apr 01, 2013 6:30 pm

"But you implied it."

Subject: Phoenix Mon Apr 01, 2013 6:32 pm

I incline my head in acknowledgement. "A person's past is usually the cause of their actions. Forgive me for assuming wrong."
