I'd be lying if I said I wasn't pleased with how these turned out. They aren't really sought after in District 2, being an Asiatic weapon, but I saw a pair during my games that I've always wanted to replicate. I suppose I should work on crafting some sort of display case for them, assuming our kindly hosts allow me to take them to the next world. ~~If there is one?~~

Speaking of trade — anyone in need of a steel weapon shall find me at the Arrow Tavern in Knockturn Alley. I am interested in acquiring antique fixtures, should anyone be in possession of some.

	[...] I was clumsy at first. It doesn't go well to be clumsy in my world. I learned how to hunt, how to walk quietly, climbing trees, digging holes, lots of stuff. I want to get along with them, talk with them lots and all, but I don't want to live in a house and sleep in a bed. That sounds good. You can hunt with me when you want.

It doesn't help to be clumsy in mine, either. We knew it would be a problem when she started tripping over her own feet when she started walking. She'd also pull things down on top of her head, and fall off of tables. It wasn't [...] pretty, but she got that from Theodore.

You're very skilled at what you do, Dora. I'm constantly amazed at your prowess. ~~You remind me of what I thought she would become.~~ I know what you mean. I enjoy having tea with them, talking, but it can become exhausting quickly. I value my privacy. All I've ever needed is a room to call my own, and somewhere to train.

I would enjoy that. I saw the werewolf woman wandering about, though. I don't trust her.

Ha, yeah, I did stuff like that. If there was one thing in the hallway... I could bump into anything. My parents never focused on it too much. They didn't think it was a problem really. I wasn't going to play quidditch.

Thanks. I know how to take care of myself and someone else if I need to. Sometimes [...] I don't blame them or nothing, but I wonder if I make them sad, turning out like this. It's not what they wanted. But I'm around the same as as Burg, as they ever get. I don't know if I die soon too. I could die any time. I know that. Live longer or not, I'm good with my life. Live until I'm not anymore.

Yeah, I've been trying to learn some more magic, the warding stuff people talk about. I don't need it to watch out for her. But it'd be good to know.

Quidditch — the game with the brooms? Were your parents a lot like the Ted & Andromeda that are here?

[...] You have made me very proud, and I know your parents would be, as well. You survived in a world where so many haven't. If people here don't understand it, it's only because they haven't been through it themselves. I think we're all shouldering the crosses we bear. I've seen battle, but never a war. Especially over something as trivial as blood. I'm okay with my life, too. They're the only ones we've got.

If you ever need any help, we could practice our spells together. I could teach you a little wandless magic, it's very good for when you're in a bind.

Yeah, I was friends with my Charlie before we stopped going to school. He tried to teach me how to fly. I was terrible. My dad's a lot like the Teds here. My mum was somewhere between all of you. The other you here's so young, maybe my mum was like her at that age. But people didn't get chopped up for parts or anything. So it's different but similar.

[...] Are you proud of me, really, not just for surviving that but [...] me, who I am?

I've heard about the blood war. I was told the stories. I always told them Sirius was good, that he didn't do it. My mum didn't speak with most of her family, like a lot of them here.

I've taught myself stuff from pages of books, but I'd like to learn more. I didn't know you could do wandless magic. I can change how I look, but I thought that was different.

Charlie Weasley? Molly's boy is always at our house for one reason or another, so that makes sense. The unwind Andromeda has such a big heart. I wish things could be easier for her. Even when others are hurting, she extends her hand to them. It is so admirable. I can't help but wonder if we aren't just bits and pieces of one person, brought together to be complete. I'm not like that at all. [...] I would like to meet them, your mother and father. They must be wonderful people.

[...] You have no idea, Dora. I [...] You are how I pictured my daughter to be, albeit under different circumstances. You are so charming and clever and brave. I can't believe I can claim you as mine. You give me hope that Nymphadora can have a long life.

She didn't? Mariana told me about it, about the Black family, none of it seems real. I can't imagine losing any more family. Narcissa and Regulus were all I had back home.

I didn't go to school for very long, but I trained hard when I was reaped. Transfiguration & Charms have always come naturally to me, though. I can do little bits and pieces — like retrieval spells, which helped a lot during my Games. No wands are allowed in the arena. Your gift is very different to that; you are a wonder.

Yeah, we were really good friends. I don't know if he's alive, but I don't know he's dead. Even Ron doesn't. She does. I can do that sometimes, with kids, but not with regular people. [...] I don't know if I want them here. I know they're going to die. And that just makes it worse. But you'd like them.

[...] Yes, you can claim me!! I hope she lives long too. She should.

It's one of those blood things. Ted doesn't have the right blood. And she chose him, and her family kicked her out. Something like that. I don't know the most about it. I knew Sirius when I was little, before he went away. I knew Ted's family really well.

I have my wand. I learned at school for a little while. Now it's whatever I find in some books, if I can do it. I know how to do everything without magic, but it's helping with hunting. I take care of the meat with magic afterward. I'd like to learn wandless magic. I don't let people know my talent, where I'm from. Here, everyone knows.

If he's anything like I remember, he's probably off chasing dragons somewhere in the wild. [...] But they might have a second chance here, as we've all been given. It will definitely hurt, as all matters of the heart do, but [...] Well, that's up to science, certainly not me. I just wish sometimes we had a choice.

Then you are mine, now and evermore.

Oh.

I'm glad. A magical education seems like a blessing. And that's understandable; being a metamorphmagus can be dangerous. I worry for Nymphadora because Eoin Healy will find out, if he hasn't already, and he will use her as a weapon. In your world, I imagine it's no different. It surprised me when I saw the other girls, with their bright pink hair, but it made me smile as well.

I haven't seen a dragon, other than the little one someone has here. [...] They got to live happy other places. I wouldn't want them here near the end. Ted's family all died first, the adults.

Okay.

I didn't go back after winter hols second year. Too many people were sick. No one thought Hogwarts was safe. I don't want anyone like Healy using someone like me. I've done what I need to do. But I don't do things without reason.

	Healy has a lot of them in the Capitol in Brach, but they've been known to turn up in arenas as well. Beautiful creatures, it really isn't fair what he does to them, but I suppose that rings true for everything in his path. [...] Of course, Dora. I wouldn't want them to be sick, here, either. That wouldn't be kind. I know, sweetheart. You're very clever. (Reply to this) (Parent)
