Spell 006

[hero_complexed]

[ Sometimes dreams aren't particularly exciting and there's really nothing going on. The setting is peaceful enough as it's just lightly breezy day with clear blue skies. Harry's sitting cross-legged up on a hill over looking a great black lake. ]

[ That's all, no running or screaming or horrible nightmares from that past June. Peace and quiet. At least... for now. ]

If you value it, then you should never take it for granted, or believe it will last solely because you wish for it to. That kind of wishing is the most dangerous.

[hero_complexed]

I don't expect it-in fact I kind of expect nightmares-things I've seen and a weird hallway- so when I get something like this... best to enjoy it, right?

[braidstobows]

Harry Potter. [And Homura turns to look directly at him now.] What are these nightmares made of?

[hero_complexed]

Mostly Voldemort.

[braidstobows]

[It sounds like a name - one name, Homura notes. There is one person who is the source of Harry's fears, in the end, whatever other forms they may take.]

Are you preparing to go against him?

[hero_complexed]

I've been against him-but right now no one will believe me so I'm more... waiting for him to make a move.

[braidstobows]

[She imagines the consequences if she were to wait before challenging a witch - or now, a demon.]

He can't be let go forever.

[hero_complexed]

He's not. But no one believes me and I have to stay in school.

[braidstobows]

[Homura considers this. For herself, going to school had been a way to watch over Madoka. Without that, she hasn't seen the point in going. She knows the lessons by now - she's repeated them often enough with each timeline - and she never cared nearly as much for any of the other classmates.]

Is there a reason you need to stay in the school?

[hero_complexed]

Well.. yeah. I'm still underage. Underaged wizards aren't allow to do magic outside of school.

Besides, running away now would be like... letting the Voldemort win. Plus, what would the prophet say? No, I have to stay.

[braidstobows]

It wouldn't be running away, if the purpose was to prepare for your true battle.

[hero_complexed]

I still wouldn't have the proper training. Not that there's a good Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher this year-makes us copy everything directly from the book.

[braidstobows]

[Ew. Even worse than repeating it endless times. She'd be bored out of her mind.]

I understand your difficulties.

[hero_complexed]

Uh... thanks... I.. guess.

[braidstobows]

Of course, this allows you to complete the work easily and quickly, and have the remainder of the time to yourself.
