The Great Hall

"But it won't change until the Dark Lord eliminates everyone He labels as his foe..."

'Why are his labels more important than others?'

"Because he is the one who gave my life meaning and purpose. He was the only one who saw me as a blessing and not a burden. He saw me as untapped potential that his care and guidance could reach. He gave me a life, River, he gave me power!"

'He gave you a purpose by turning you into his pawn! You think this is what your life is for, but you dnot see that he only cares because you follow him completely. You dot see that he doesnt care about you, and he proberly laughs at you for thinking he actually cares about you!'

I dont even flinch, just look at him thoughtfully. 'Tell me something, Barty. If i am labeled as a blood traitor, does that mean i am labeled as his foe? Would you, if he asked you, be able to kill me because i disagree with him, and with what he has done to you? Would you be able to look at someone, another death eater, if you knew they had killed me on his orders?'

OOC Ohh way to put the ball in his park

I find myself looking to the side, trying to come up with an answer.

'Thought so.'

"I shall be merciless to his enemies. That's what I'm best at."

I smile. 'But you cant kill me, crouch and if i ever died, no matter how hard you try to bury it, you would end up resenting the dark lord becase of it. And you know im right.'

"Why can't you just accept this is the real me?"

'Because you still love me no matter how much you hate that im part of the enemy. if this was the real you, the second you...remembered me, you would have killed me. instead, you became my brother again...and you even saved my life when i was dying. You turned me into a vampire because you couldnt watch me die.'

ooc i need to go and walk the little death eater (the dog).
ill be back later.

OOC Okay bye!

"What if that was only to prolong your suffering?"

'I remember that day, brother. It was not malisious. You were terrified i would leave you.'

"If you died.... I would feel nothing...."

'You dont sound very convinsing.'

"You're a blood traitor and one of his foes..."

'ok.' I flick my wrist, my wand falling from the sleve, and hand it too him. 'If i mean nothing to you, if all i am is a traitor, kill me. Do it.'

"In the great hall where everyone can see me do it, that would ruin my master's mission."

'ok.' I shrug 'Lead me somewhere where no one will see you. then nothing can stop you from ridding me from your life.'

"I'll do it, don't think I won't..."

'go on then.' i look him in the eyes. 'Prove to your master that you will do whatever you can to help him. Kill me, your own flesh and blood, and i am sure he will be proud.'

"I don't have ti prove anything to you..."

'No, but you just did. you really cant kill me.'

"You realize I could level this entire room and sleep soundly, right?"
