Open RP with Draco

[fondofcabinets.livejournal.com]

Somehow, the novelty of magic that was so fresh and new in Draco's mind when he had started his career at Hogwarts had slowly been sucked out of him. He, as a true pure-blood citizen, was raised around magic and had seen some pretty impressive results from the wand.

With so many muggles running around though, it just wasn't quite as fun.

Draco stood, looking out of a large window in a northern corridor. His wand was in his hand and he twirled it among his finger. His left hand was busy propping his head up as he looked out the window, so his right occupied itself twirling the wand.

"You're a muggle," Draco declared after hearing the man's admission that he was one of the intruding forces.

"A muggle is someone who doesn't belong at a school for witchcraft and wizardry. That's what a muggle is." Draco felt disappointed in his previous trust of the man.

"I don't really have a choice about it," L admits, with a faintly indulgent smile.

"I merely awoke, covered in butter. The career I was taken away from was much more rewarding than what was promised me here, though I have made the best of it." Namely, Matt.

Draco grunted and didn't want to say anything back to that. He never thought of it that way.

"You could run away," He suggested. "Or kill yourself. Both are logical ways to avoid being here."

"You're a little overdramatic," L thumbs his bottom lip.

"Besides, it's important for me to get back to my time and country, I'm an important detective, and there is work still to be done. The best way for that to happen seems to be to remain here."

"I'm not over-dramatic. I am totally justified. You see this school in a sort of before and after and you'd be upset too." Draco laughed with a patronizing tone.

"Important detective."

"Important detective," L replies, in his usual monotone.

"As I said. I appreciate that the academic standards have been compromised."

"Hm. I don't." Draco admitted. "But they never were that outstanding to begin with. Hogwarts has always been inferior. Just even more so now." He sighed. "It's a tragedy, really."

"I've read the history of the school. Although the book was no doubt heavily biased in providing information, I imagine some of the facts must have been true."

L shrugs.

"And it didn't sound that bad."

"That's because you don't understand the way the world has blurred the lines between classes," Draco declared, feeling somewhere in his chest that his father would be proud. Maybe.

"Hogwarts has always been known for being very tolerant of all wizards and witches. That's why so many people bloody flock to this damn place."

"Although class structure is inherent in all forms of society, rigorous application and inflexibility thereof is unhealthy."

He shrugs.

"Sociologically speak, although that isn't precisely my field."

Draco rubbed the mark on his arm. He wished it would burn, then he'd be around people like him.

"You're speaking progressive non-sense. That's why the world will become, even more than it is now, littered with mudbloods.

"And I'm not going to waste my time convincing someone blinded by their own bigotry."

L shrugs again, pressing his fingers to his bottom lip.

"Jonathan Swift, aside from suggesting that people consume infants, said 'there are none so blind as though who will not see.'"
