Okay, yeah, this sucks. I'll admit it, okay? I hate that nobody ever wants to... no, y'know what? Forget people not ever wanting to do anything, people don't even hardly know I'm there unless I say something. It blows and I hate it and I'm... lonely. Okay? I said it, are you all happy now?

[Quite uncursed, but there's something about this that reminds her of Neville Longbottom, back in the day. So this gentle attempt at cheering up isn't entirely random, never mind that she doesn't actually know the bloke on the other end of this conversation.]

You know, usually it's the quiet ones that surprise everyone else. In my experience they tend to be loads more brilliant than they let on.

Absolutely. I've a friend back home who can relate, I think; loads of people sort of took him for granted, and even when he spoke up, most just laughed. [She pauses, then states delicately,] Gits. But when things got hard, he stepped up, became something of a hero.

[Neil has kind of latched on to the fact that she's said "brilliant" and "hero." He likes the sounds of that.]

How long'd it take for your friend to uh... step up, or whatever?

Er...

[Nearly seven years until he rallied the DA. Five when he fought his first battle, though. Um.]

A few years? It was a confidence thing, really. People believing in him before he could believe in himself, you know? At least at first. Maybe. Hasn't always got to be that way, though.

[He takes a moment to think this over.] Yeah. Guess so.

...Confidence, eh?

I'm pretty good at video games.

[And the next part comes out in an almost imperceptible mumble.]

...And I guess I can sing. A little.

Look at that, two things I'm fairly awful at.

[Video games + witch =/= good idea. But Ginny sounds rather pleased.]

There you go!

People aren't usually all that impressed. [But there's clearly a smile in his voice. Big change from the distressed ranting of before.]

[Aww yeah, mission accomplished. Ginny laughs.]

I didn't even know what video games were until I got here.

Back home, you mean? Apart from classes... sports, friends, the usual. My world hasn't got much in the way of technology; at least, not like the City.

Oh, wow. I think I'd be... really bad at that.

So, what kind of sports? [This is a long-shot for a conversation topic because the only thing Neil's even vaguely familiar with is hockey, but he'll give it a try anyway.]

[Oh man, Neil, don't get her started on sports. She actually knows hockey (thanks, Chase), but it's Quidditch she's really in love with. But. Broomsticks. So.]

The occasionally violent sort with teams and throwing a ball into a goal.

I reckon my mum would rather I stay off the pitch, but I like a bit of risk. Makes things interesting.

[And, you know. The war. But we don't talk about that.]

I'm Ginny, by the way. Ginny Weasley.

Um, alternative rock sorta stuff, I guess?

[Well, when he's sober. Get him drunk and he'll start belting country tunes.]

There's this guy, Zack Rogue. [Because he's assuming a world without video games is probably also a world without Rogue Wave.] He's pretty cool-- lost his job when the economy was bad, so he just decided to start a band instead. I guess he'd be, like my main musical influence or whatever.

[No, but it is a world with The Weird Sisters and... Celestina Warbeck. Augh.]

D'you play in one too? A band, I mean.

I'd imagine it'd be fun to do. Organise and play around with something you enjoy?

no worries~ =]
