feel_nevermore | Raven's IC contact (Adstringendum)

I see. Well... Sokka's had a hard time not telling you too. I almost had to threaten him not to do it.

[She sees him turn silent at her revelation. He doesn't seem that much surprised, though. It's clear he's come to her for a confirmation more than for anything else. She leaves him some time to let his thoughts wander. She doesn't want to make him feel pressured. She came because he wanted answers, not to ask him to start a relationship with her. He's back and Azar knows she still loves him. Yet she knows he's not there yet. There's a chance for them to be together again, Raven can tell from the slight disappointment in his voice as he tells her he doesn't remember. But she won't ruin it by rushing things. 'One day at a time', that's what Suki had told her and she thinks it's a good advice.

When she speaks again, she looks at him.]

Sometimes events here can temporarily change the feelings people have for each other. It never happened to us. I mean events changed our personalities more than once, never our feelings. But just in case we agreed to give each other something precious enough to remind us we were important to each other. [She pulls out the snitch from under her cloak and hands it him.] You gave me this. [And she's kept it all this time.]

I'd like you to have it back. [She gives him a small smile.] At least until you feel that you'd rather I keep it for you.

[He takes the snitch from her and looks at it. It's too small to be used in a game. Where had it come from, then? He didn't remember that Lily had made it for him.

He let it go and it fluttered around him. Yeah, it was certainly his; the flesh memory said as much. He grabbed it again and watched the silver wings flutter.]

What did you give me?

[She notices the way he looks at the snitch and explains.] Your Mother made it for you. She used to be here too.

[At his question, she looks away. Her look turns dreamy.] Back home, I'm part of a team. We're called the Teen Titans. One of my teammates, Cyborg, made a special communicator for each of us. It allows us to always remain in contact whatever the mission. And it reminds us that we belong to a team. My team is the only family I ever had.

That's what I gave you: my communicator. [Because it's one of her most precious possessions. And because in case she'd have left before Harry did and other Titans had been brought here, they would have helped him.]

Mum... [He'd forgotten so many things.]

Do I... still have it?

Lily was very nice to me. And she was very proud of you. She loved the greenhouse too.

I don't know.

Hm. What did it look like? I'll look around for it.

[She frowns as he doesn't reply anything to what he says about his mother. But he probably doesn't feel like talking about her with her. So she drops the suject.]

It's that big [She shows the size in the palm of her hand.] yellow, round-shaped with a capital 'T' painted on the top side of it.

I'll look for it.

[He just put off answering about her for a moment.]

Did you know her well?

Thank you. [Raven had always thought her communicator had disappeared with him. And somehow she had hoped it would allow him to retain some of his memories of this place and of her. But it's possible the communicator is just hidden somewhere, after all.]

[She nodded.] I liked talking with her. I have to admit I was a bit anxious when she learnt about us. I wondered how she'd react given, um, the nature of my magic. But the only thing that seemed to matter to her was to know I made you happy.

What do you mean, the nature of your magic?

[Trust Harry to focus on the tricky part. She sighs a bit and looks away as she admits the truth.] I'm a half-demon. So my magic is pretty dark by nature.

[And her heart squeezes a bit at the thought that he truly doesn't remember anything about her. The Prophecy. None of those things that had brought them closer.]

Huh. Never met a half-demon before. [A pause.] Is it insulting if I say I didn't think you were part demon?

[She gives him a surprised look.] No... But I'm not quite sure what you mean by that.

Well... it's a little obvious you're not just human. I mean... purple hair and eyes, grey skin. But... I mean... [Ohshit, hi corner he just walked himself into.] I've never heard of demons being pretty before.

[Raven's eyes widens a bit and she blushes slightly, averting her gaze. Then she smirks a bit, sarcasm always her best defense.] You mean you've never heard of those sexy demon girls using their charms to make poor men fall helplessly in love with them?

Well, I've met a Veela before, although I wouldn't call them demons. And really, once you make them mad, you see what they really look like and it's... not all that pretty.

Well... when my demon side takes over, I reckon I look a lot less pretty too.

[And she hopes he won't have to see that side of her too soon.]

But we all have our dark sides and our Prophecies, right?

Have I, um, ever had the chance to see that side?

<>i>[He laughs softly.] Hopefully, not. It's a bit of a pain in the arse, having a Prophecy over your head.

Once. But you weren't really yourself either at the time. It was during an event about one year ago. [When she thinks about it, Harry had truly seen the best and the worst of her.]

I can't disagree with you on that. It's a pain. [She looks at him, staring at his scar she can see half-hidden beneath his hair for a moment before looking away.] And so he having part of the soul of the person you hate and fear the most inside of you.

Huh, only once? [He smiles a bit.] Doesn't sound like I did too badly.

[It's a bit unconscious, but he runs his hand through his hair by the scar.] So, um, when did I tell you about... about that?

[Raven blinks at that before it dawns on her. And she chuckles softly.] Not too badly indeed. [He never made her hurt. Except when he left her.]

In a dream that we shared. [As weird as it sounds, it's the truth.] And you didn't really tell me. More like I guessed and you confirmed.

[He shakes his head.] Figures I'd make it work and then, you know, forget it all.

[Okay that gets a stare.] How, exactly, did you figure out that I have a part of someone's soul inside of me?

[Raven shrugs and gives him a small smile.] I still remember. And if you ever ask me to share some of those memories with you... I will.

Well I have the abilities to sense powerful auras. There's a part of darkness in you that does fit with the rest of your energy. Besides you had told me how Tom created horcruxes. And how you got that scar. I did the math.

[He nods at her offer but doesn't ask. Not yet, at least.]

Oh. [He pauses.] I hadn't... exactly... put it together. Not, not consciously, at least.

[She's not surprised he doesn't. She sends a private video file on her PCD. That's their date at the lake, the one Usagi had spied on and accidentally broadcast all over the network.] You can take a look at this later, if you want. Preferably after I'm gone.

Being an empath makes it easier, I suppose. ...Also that dream took place in the forbidden forest, right before your fight with Voldemort. It made sense... since you seemed to think you were the only one who could end this.
