Hullo.

[ And the smiling, freckled face of one Ginny Weasley is all up in this locket. She's clearly outside, soaking in the sunshine as she pulls back so her face isn't filling up the view. ]

There's been loads of talk lately about learning how to fight. Well, fight in other ways, proper swords and all. I reckon I got by all right with my wand during the worm fiasco but I can't deny that's a good thought. Merlin knows I've considered it. [ She laughs. ] Especially since I can imagine my mum in fits over me swinging a sword around.

[ She pauses, then, biting her lip around a thoughtful smile before scrambling forward (carefully) to hang her locket off a low branch of a tree in the bailey. She's sprawled (perhaps rather unladlylike, given the gown she's still getting used to wearing) on a stone bench, a broomstick in her lap, and she looks positively pleased about it. ]

But this is what I'm really excited about. I've had it since the fighting was over, as a gift... [ But she was still a little too banged up to use it. BUT NOW. ] It'd be nice, don't you think, to explore this place a bit? Beyond the castle. I'd love to see what's out there, properly out there.

[ Ginny releases the broom and it rises gently into the air. She touches it fondly. ]

Can't say I fancy flying in a dress, though. Am I allowed trousers here?

[There's a vaguely impressed look on his face mixed with some shock. Not the kind of magic he's used to but that's definitely magic. Sorry's not in his vocabulary so instead he just raises his shoulders.]

There a way you could rig my car up so the gas is self-replenishing? It'd really help me get around this joint.

[ She stands to pluck the locket from the air and hang it back on the branch herself, keeping her face up close to it, eyes narrowed. ]

Are you always this rude?

Depends on who you ask.

[Which is true. Given the circumstances and still being stuck here after a month he's not in the best mood.]

But you were right. Guess magic really is more than slight of hand.

Reckon anyone here could say that by now.

[ She sits back, sliding her wand away, leaning back on the heels of her palms. Yeah, she just wanted to hear him say she was right. Damn straight. ]

And to answer your other question: probably, but I wouldn't know where to begin. My Dad mucked around with a car a few years ago, made it fly. But I didn't see what he did.

Maybe we could get together and try to figure that out.

[It was a long shot, but he really didn't know any other way to get around and a car that could get around without depleting fluids would help a lot of people out. That, and it had his arsenal. No way he'd leave it behind. It put a real damper on the social interaction. Especially since he made it to the station before realizing that everyone else was in Caer Glam.]

If you can manage it, I'll find some way to pay you back. We'll negotiate.

[ She starts chuckling, shaking her head. ]

You don't even know my name, mate.

You could fix that. We don't have to be best buds to negotiate a business deal.

[There's a hitched sigh. He almost forgot how frustrating teenage girls could be. No matter where they're from. Besides, if he was honest, he didn't really care who she was. Not right now. Maybe after they did some talking he'd change his tune.]

I'm Dave.

Dave.

[ dean u suck ]

Ginny Weasley. I'd say it was a pleasure but I'm still trying to decide on that.

Yeah, Mustaine. If surnames are part of this whole whatever.

[He really doesn't know what it is. Just knows that he's continually irritated by every conversation he has on this thing. This is why he prefers face to face interaction to the lockets.]

I grow on you.

Like mould? I'm so pleased.

[ Like she's making this any easier. ]

You're pretty driven to make this difficult, aren't you?

[Cuz he noticed. He's used to putting up with willful brats but usually everyone chills out when he turns on his charm. Not this hothead.]

[ She isn't so easily won over with charm, if only because she's spent a lot of her life compensating for the last time she made that mistake. That, and her size and age make it easy to doubt her abilities and she's never taken too kindly to that even if he's admitted to being wrong, in his own way.

Ginny Weasley may be a good person but that doesn't mean she can't be stubbornly proud, too. Gryffindor to the core. ]

Pretty driven to do a lot of things. Whatever wins this war and gets us home, right?

I don't take part in wars I didn't sign up for. Especially when they're run by asshats that can't manage to be up front with us about things in the first place.

Do what you want, I just thought an alliance'd be a good strategy this early on.

No one's holding a sword at you and telling you to fight. I don't fancy being in a war when the one back home isn't over yet, but this is where I am now. And if finishing this is the only way to get back, then I'll do it. If you hear about something better, let me know, then.

What do you say we compromise? Obviously I don't trust you and you don't trust me, but neither one of us is gonna make it outta this thing in one piece if we don't have anyone else on our team.

So sure about that, are you?

[ She hums. ]

All right. Dave, was it?

Sure enough.

[This chick is starting to remind him of Sam when he was little. He could deal with stubbornness. His family had it in spades, and as far as he was concerned it was a redeemable quality.]

Yeah, and you're spitfire.

Am I, now? Reckon my brothers would be proud.

I got a brother too. He's my number one priority. When do you wanna do this? I'll make sure it's worth your while. Favor for a favor?

Sure, all right. Any time, I suppose—I'm just wandering round the grounds today.

Is your brother here?

I'm over by the station so it might take a while to get to you.

[Maybe the station wasn't the best life choice but he wanted out of Caer Glam. Too yuppy for his tastes and that feeling of being under thumb followed him around over there.]

I don't think so, if he was he would've tried to get in touch.

[It's obvious by tone and expression that it bothers him. Sam's his responsibility and he's screwing the pooch huge on that.]
