Forty-second Spell

[courageous_wit]

This may be a strange question considering what we've been through recently, but I'm curious: was there ever a change in the castle that you actually enjoyed? Is there one thing that happened here that gives you happy memories when you think of it?

For me personally, it was living in Paris. It's such a beautiful city and I enjoyed working in the museum. I haven't been here as long as some but I do know that is one of the happier changes I've experienced.

I haven't been here long, but I didn't mind so much being an old lady. It wouldn't be my first choice, but I enjoyed the prom.

[courageous_wit]

I didn't mind it, either. It was fun to see what I will look like when I grow old.

[not_nikkiheat]

Exactly. I thought I was a pretty good-looking old lady.

[courageous_wit]

[chuckles] I suppose most didn't think they aged as gracefully.

[not_nikkiheat]

Did you age at all?

[courageous_wit]

I did. It wasn't unpleasant.

[whichwayyoulean]

Not especially. I guess the family thing was nice while it lasted.

Is Paris a city on Earth?

[courageous_wit]

I liked that one as well. It was nice to have sisters.

Oh, yes, it's lovely! We were there for Christmas my first year in the castle.

[whichwayyoulean]

I was nice to have a family that cared about me at all.

Oh. What's it like?

[courageous_wit]

You know family isn't just about blood. I think of my best friend Harry as a brother, after all. And Phoebe I think of as my sister.

It's known as the city of love. There's art and museums and music, and of course the food. You would've liked it there, I think.

[whichwayyoulean]

I know, I just wish I'd learned it sooner.

You think I would have liked the city of love? [Hear that judgement there?] I would have liked the food and music, though.

[kungfuwitch]

Oh I don't know, there were a few that I liked. The family reunion one was fun, even though it made me miss my sisters. Of course I'll always have a soft spot for the pirate ships [she chuckles]

[courageous_wit]

I think you may be a bit biased on the pirate ship. [teasing out of love, non!sister]

[kungfuwitch]

Ooooohhhh just a little. [she chuckles]

[courageous_wit]

The more I hear about it the more sorry I am I missed it.

[kungfuwitch]

Except for the Navy attacking it was really interesting. We landed on this island with a deserted town, you would have loved it.

[luxe_can_kill]

This was the first change of scenery in the castle I have experienced... I cannot say I enjoyed how it altered my memories, but the rest were not bad.

Although, I'm curious about Paris...

[courageous_wit]

We went to Paris, France during Christmas of 2011. While there we were all given jobs or went to school, and we lived in various apartments. Paris was also the first incident of people returning to Paradisa with their memories.

[luxe_can_kill]

I see. I suppose not all of these... events that the castle pulls are as bad as I thought...

I have to admit, it would have been nice to have been a part of that. I adore Paris.

[courageous_wit]

Usually we only go to a place once, but you never know. We may return there some day.

[luxe_can_kill]

I would just have to see. [She smiled outside of the journal]

What is your name?

[the_effect_she_has]

Nope. [Come on. Did you expect another answer from Katniss?]

[courageous_wit]

[she really didn't] Hello, Katniss. I haven't heard from you in a while.

[the_effect_she_has]

Hey Hermione ... I was moving out of the cracker barrel of insanity. I'm out at the shooting range right now. [A pause, and an awkward.] You can, you know, come and visit.

[courageous_wit]

I'd be delighted. Perhaps you can teach me how to use a bow? I've always wanted to learn.
