Valentine's Day - not for the single. ((open rp))

[raistlin-red.livejournal.com]

Valentine’s Day. A day for lovers and a day to remind the single people that they are still, well, single.
And if you’re a lonely, sickly wizard, it’s just going to make you crankier. The decorations and general squishy, lovey mood had only served to darken Raistlin’s mood. Setting fire to the pink paper hearts and cupids would have been satisfying, but it would have only created more work for the house elves, and he didn’t want to create more work for the creatures that he actually liked.

He tried to avoid the festivities by  reading in the library and hoping that when he left, all the nonsense would be over with. Because he certainly wasn't hiding or trying to avoid the entire holiday.

"It is a part of my studies while I am here. The magic in this world is different from what I studied as a child. I am attempting to trace a commonality between the magic of Hogwarts and the magic of Krynn."

Casting a quick cantrip, he summoned a large, dusty book from one of the stacks. "And I have not seen the librarian, perhaps he is distracted from his duties with this notion of love," he said, sneering the word. "It has no place in magic."

Two paths Narcissa could have taken:

One would be supercilious disinterest. (Krynn? She'd never heard of it. What had Krynn to do with her family, her race? Nothing, plainly.)

The other would be cautious interest. (Krynn? A new world, a new kind of magic? An opportunity, perhaps, for Draco?)

Those who caricatured Slytherin and the old families would have expected one reaction from Narcissa, the same that her aunt Walburga might have given. Those who truly knew her would not have been surprised at her true response.

"Commonality between different systems of magic can be beneficial to understanding of both systems, once identified," she observed. "We have learned this with regard to the magics of the Orient, especially their magical creatures."

Ah. New magical systems. Raistlin set his quill down and focused his attention on Narcissa. "There are different magical systems in this world? The system is fascinating in it's simplicity. No components, little somatic, simply a wand and words."

With a flick of his wrist, he cleared a stack of books to allow her room to sit. "Please, I am Raistlin Majere."
