Who: Savannah/Theo
When: 2nd July
Where: 7th floor corridor
What: Theo has an idea that might get them in trouble, Savannah is bored

Savannah was bored. Even training with the DMLE wasn't enough to keep her entertained since she still had to pretend that she had another job, one that included lots of writing. She couldn't give up. They had gotten an answer that had helped with the antidote. You never knew when you'd get an answer that would help them get their foot in the door.

Still writing became boring and she decided to take a walk. With everyone working on the vault and the castle magic, it was hard to have discussions. She felt weird going into a room and disturbing them for no reason, but she lingered in the corridor and her patience was rewarded when Theo came out of their research room.

"Fancy meeting you here," she said with a grin. "How's it going? Getting ready for the weekend?"

"Oh sure. Different people see different things, that's my entire point. You are fine as long as they don't talk go each other." In the end, she felt that it was all about communication, but people were known for not talking to each other. "What are the other differences you see? BUt yes, I don't think Jamie and I can ever be a thing again. We've gotten to the point that it feels too familiar almost like family, but who knows? I'm not one to predict the future."

Savannah snorted. "I think they couldn't plan they way out of a glass, but also I don't think they planned. 'Go in and fight' isn't a plan no matter what they think. Granted, I know things through history, but they had fourteen years to figure out how to destroy a wizard that had been temporarily vanquished. I don't believe for a second that waiting for a kid to go to school was a plan. Look, I get that they are the heroes, but battles aren't different from games, wars from championships. You plan the game, but you also plan the season. You plan, plan and then plan some more until every detail is taken care of. These people? Again, they couldn't plan to save their lives and that's what happened. They died."

She nodded. "Unfortunately we are, but when it's just the politicians, then you can count for people's support. If we don't handle Scarlet Idiot correctly, she'll make people hate us even more and it'll backfire. We know what she wants, which is more followers, so for her, any exclusive does the trick. We need to think carefully about what we want her to print. I might need some time to think about it."

He could only smile. It was sound reasoning but not a very real concern for him. Not at present at any rate. "You mean besides the very obvious ones?" He said with a small laugh. "When I said he played the dutiful son well, I did mean that. In fact I've never seen any hint of self interest first. And I do have some insight, I did have Roxanne's memories, even if a lot of that retention has faded away," he said with a small shrug. "I do wonder if he knows who is beyond that," he mused. "In any case, I don't have that problem. I often put my self interests first. There are few exceptions to that. But there are some." He finished, only smiling at what sounded to him at least, like someone waiting.

"Funny things do happen when prophecy comes into play. The only one who can really tell you what the plan was, they are far too young to know," he said with a small laugh. "I'd like to know myself to be honest, but I doubt I ever will. I do think they planned though, best they could. With what little they had to work with. I feel disinclined to sell them too short."

"I want to know who she is," he said, "I'm very curious. I agree with you. She has to be handled in the right way, which is why you came to mind. I feel this is something best suited to your skills. As for time, take what you need but don't be too long. I hate losing momentum."

"I meant what differences you see on the reason why we put so much emphasis on family and you don't. I'm not Jamie after all. But I think their name shaped who they are. All of them. Potters and Weasleys. It's hard not to. I guess I could have gone the same route, but Mum didn't want me to use Dad's last name, either the real one or the stage name. I'm glad she did, because I could become famous for what I can do. Jamie never had that chance." She looked at him, head tilted. "Aren't you lonely? You talk to people, but are you close to anyone?"

She rolled her eyes. "People get so stuck on what they think the prophecies say and stop being rational. Look at what happened to us." Savannah snorted. "Some of those people died that young, so I doubt they have any insight. Strange that you're the one giving them the benefit of the doubt," she added with a smile.

"I couldn't care less, but neither of our position is really a surprise, is it?" He was way too curious and she wasn't." She laughed. "Sure, put me on the spot like that. ANyway, just give me a few days, okay?"

'On family?" He questioned. That all seemed sort of obvious and he couldn't imagine why it would even need asking. "Well, you don't tend to place emphasis on things you never had. Or I don't at any rate," he said knowing full well what ordeals the Potter and Weasley children would have faced. Still it was a luxury to be sure. Taking the last drag of his smoke he dropped the butt on the ground and crushed it under his heel. "I've spent most of my life alone, lonely isn't really something I feel often. There are people I care about, hence exceptions to the rule. Or are you asking something specific?" He wondered but he didn't know.

"Prophecy is real enough. It becomes real once people believe in it. Especially if those people are connected to it. Once that ball starts rolling, it gains and gains until it has a life all it's own. I do mean one person in particular, that's where the answers would be. But that's not doable. As for credit," he said with a small shrug. "They are some of the most talented witches and wizards in recent history. In some cases they have skills I admire. They did things I could not. I don't see that being very odd on my part."

"Alright," he said holding out his hand. "All that needs doing now is to shake on it. If it can be done, will you do it?"

She shook her head. "No, nothing specific, but you don't interact with many people, at least not in a meaningful way, and i was wondering if that made you feel lonely. I can't imagine not talking to everyone, and not about work or superficial things."

She sighed. "And this is why I don't pay any mind to any of that. I even refuse to follow those stupid superstitious rituals a lot of players believe in. You make your own future." She smiled. "Oh Dumbledore. Yeah, the books talked about how great he was, but Hogwarts sounded like a nightmare under him." She pondered his words and then nodded. "I guess when you put it like that. I still think that talented and capable isn't the same thing. I know plenty of Ravenclaws who were brilliant, but couldn't make a plan to save their lives."

She grinned. "All right, let's go back inside and I'll see what I can come up with.

He was surprised by how taken by by Savannah's comments he was, he simply shrugged and nodded. "I see" he said quietly. Work was something he was passionate about, and not at all trivial to him. Hobbies were things he enjoyed, with those he could share in them with. His life, that was something else, and why he would want to unload years of dreadful things on anyone was baffling to him. The prospect of starting was hard enough to contemplate. It wasn't as if anyone cared. Not really. Even if he did want to talk he didn't have the option, not anymore. Not truly. That's just how it was. That's how people were, in his life at least. Disappointing.

What else there was to say he didn't much hear, save for a small nod here and there, when it seemed required.

He smiled, although it was a little empty. "I'll catch up," he said turning to leave. "I'm not quite ready to head back inside. In a little while." Placing his hands in his pockets he walked on, nowhere really in mind to go. Just a quick walk to clear his mind, and then he'd head back.
