Milan was at her happiest at this moment. More so than she'd been in the past few days, and finally ungrounded from the werewolf business that happened a few weeks ago. Though under watchful eyes, her parents thought she was well enough on her own to get her stuff from Diagon Alley. They didn't have a problem letting her come here alone, but often they'd make it a family outing thing with lunch and all that stuff. Albeit, Mil made it clear she didn't want that this year. She just wanted to get her stuff and of course stop by for ice cream.

It was just a bit weird that she was overjoyed to actually be returning to school. This was evident by how she carried a few parcels with a bright smile and a hop in her step. The 6th year did her little hop all the way into the ice cream parlor where she picked a stool along the bar that faced in window so she could look out at everyone going about their business. Milan order two scoops, one pineapple and the other butterscotch, both flaked with chocolate.

Sitting on her stool, she she opened one of her packages, revealing a book on the Egyptian god, Anubis. One hand held her cone as she began flipping the pages of the medium sized book. She was far from forgetting about this guy and now that she could, she was trying to learn as much as she could...

"Well if there was magic that could undo death - you're right, there would be a lot more people alive that shouldn't be. But that's just it, the balance of nature would get all skewed. Which makes me think that's why there isn't a magic that can do it. Magic is all about balance, yeah?"

Victoire bit into her ice cream cone, wondering further on the topic when Milan spoke again and her voice got increasingly loud, causing others to stop and stare.

"Shhh, people are looking," Victoire hissed, waving at Milan to lower her voice. Obviously something about this topic got Milan excitable.

"Extremely fucked up, I have to agree but I've not seen anything in Egyptian hieroglyphics that I've studied to suggest that, Milan. He takes the dead to the underworld, end of story. They don't come back."

Victoire looked at the girl. "Are you alright, hon? You look a bit peaked."

Her cheeks heated and for the first time, sh was actually becoming angry. No one was believing her and no one could help her with this! Her cone was gone and now she uses both her hands to scrub at her face, accidentally smearing her eye liner.

"Sorry," she murmured as she contemplated actually hurling herself into the ocean by now. She have bloody well done that when she was at camp. As far as she knew Mona was the only one to believe her and it sadden her a bit. Mainly because she was scared to tell her parents or even her sister. Even Alex thought she was dreaming or just being delusional.

"Looking peaked is the least of worries and I can't say I believe that's the end of any story. People can write on walls all they want, but it doesn't mean they write everything... Or even the truth."

"It's okay, hon. I mean, I understand why you'd be so interested in such things as people coming back after they die. My father lost a brother in the big battle at Hogwarts and I don't think he or anyone in the family has really gotten over it."

Victoire finished off her cone before continuing, wiping her hands on a napkin.

"Well, Anubis is part of mythology and mythology isn't there to be fact. It's there as an explanation of things that had happened back then. Like if your crops are having problems growing, you'd give a sacrifice to the god or goddess that is supposed to help. Nevermind that perhaps that year is a drought and nothing can be done about it."

She was worried that what she was telling Milan wasn't helping the girl at all. Victoire sighed.

"We can only know of history of what we find, so yeah - there can be things that happened that just never got written about. Or talked about. But then, maybe they didn't happen and that's why they aren't a part of history."
