“Listen to many, speak to a few.”
I figured it out, Sullivan.
Why you don't speak. Its brilliant,
really. I mean, if people actually
think you're deaf and mute, then
you don't have to listen to this
History of Magic crap, and you don't
have to answer stupid questions
teachers ask you.
...bloody brilliant. In fact, I might try
that excuse the next time I haven't
been paying attention in class.
Thanks for that.

Mr. Potter,
You are insufferable. I hope you are
aware of this fact. If not let me explain
in fuller detail: Stalking women is not
the doorway to their heart, or pants
button which is what I assume you're
always after.
Though I'll have you know that is not
the reason as to why I am deaf. Yes, deaf.
I may be able to speak, but I choose not
to when I don't know what I'm responding
to. Most people don't do me the courtesy of
speaking slowly so I have no idea what their
talking about. Sorry if this is dissapointing
or something, but it is the truth.
-- Katy.
james potter - September 3, 2007 02:38 AM (GMT)
Ah yes.
I figured you would react to this as much.
You see, I know a thing or two about music.
And I know you would not have such a
beautiful voice as yours if you were, in fact,
deaf. Because you would also be tone deaf.
You, love, are obviously not.
Furthermore, I'm absolutely appalled that you
would think I'm merely trying to get in your
pants. You see, I'm not just a horny seventeen
year old boy. Whereas yes, most of the time that
is all people see when they look at me...
I'll cut the crap, I guess, I really just want to
know why you pretend to be deaf, because
lets face it; you're not.
Even though you aren't, I'll be sure to talk
slow the next time I talk to you. That way we
can have an actual conversation.
-- James
katy sullivan - September 3, 2007 02:45 AM (GMT)
James,
I wasn't born deaf James! I could hear until
I was twelve. My mother taught me to sing...
WHY AM I TELL YOU THIS?
leave me alone,
thanks.
-- Katy.
PS: I don't believe your bullcrap
about not wanting in my pants.
You're James Fucking Potter.
You want in every girl's pants.
I may be deaf, but I'm not dumb.
james potter - September 3, 2007 03:32 AM (GMT)
Still don't believe you. Srsly.
Just...admit it. I don't give up
this easily, if you knew an ounce
of who I was at all (seeing as you
are already passing judgement) then
you would know that I don't give up.
And you'd know I'm not going to
just leave you alone. And just for the
record...I'm not trying to get into your
bloody pants! Because, not only are you
wearing a skirt, but bloody hell, I have
will-power, woman.
Just because you're a pretty face
doesn't mean I want to automatically
fuck your bloody brains out. which
is weird cause it normally does.
-- James
katy sullivan - September 3, 2007 03:38 AM (GMT)
jameswell I know that. but I like to believe
that if I insist enough you will let it all alone.
if you think I'm going to trust you enough
to let out my deepest, darkest secrets...
AGH. stop making me write things I don't
mean to. and if it's not to get into my pants
then how is my past and future, as it were,
beneficial to you? hmm?
katy james potter - September 3, 2007 03:45 AM (GMT)
I think that sometimes its better to
have someone you hardly know to
let out all your secrets. I don't go
around telling secrets; believe me,
I've kept bigger ones than I'm sure
you're keeping. And I won't give up.
Now that I'm determined.
I'm not making you write a thing.
And you want to honestly know why
I'm so determined to figure all this out.
Because...I don't actually know. You...
are incredibly intriguing. Like an enigma,
or something. A mystery. and I like mysteries.
Besides, I'm a naturally curious and deter-
mined young lad. -cheeky grin-
-- James
katy sullivan - September 3, 2007 03:52 AM (GMT)
jamesnow you're all philosophical?
why? that's all I want to know!
I was invisible! a ghost, no one
saw me. then the next thing I
know you're here. prying into
my life! everyone who's ever cared
about me died. so do yourself
a favour a leave me alone.
for your own safety.
katy. james potter - September 3, 2007 03:59 AM (GMT)
So thats what this is all about.
And there are a lot of things
that people don't know about
me. I can be very philosophical.
Being a ghost is no way to live,
Sullivan. I mean, I understand
that losing people you love is
difficult, but you shouldn't
cut yourself off from the world
because of it.
But thats why you pretend...
isn't it?
And for the record, I'm not
afraid of a little danger. In fact,
I welcome it.
-- James
katy sullivan - September 3, 2007 04:02 AM (GMT)
OMG.
OMG.
OMG.
PLEASE! JUST LEAVE ME ALONE!
james potter - September 3, 2007 04:04 AM (GMT)
That must mean I'm on to something.
And no, I won't just leave you alone.
Not until you agree to meet me some-
where and actually talk to me. Or at
least admit that you can hear what
I'm saying when I talk to you.
-- James
katy sullivan - September 3, 2007 04:07 AM (GMT)
No.
No I won't meet you.
No I can't hear you.
I'm deaf! Accept it James!
AND NO YOU'RE NOT ON TO SOMETHING.
james potter - September 3, 2007 04:09 AM (GMT)
NO
NO I DON'T BELIEVE YOU.
and no, I won't give up.
Sorry, Katy. Too determined.
I guess we'll just have to see
who gives first, eh?
...just know I've never given
up something I'm determined
on before, Sullivan.
-- James
katy sullivan - September 3, 2007 04:14 AM (GMT)
can you look over at me
for a second. yeah, that's me. bashing my
head against the desk. thanks for that.
I can't hear anything you say James.
I never will, and you're never going
to read about why I'm deaf. or 'why I
do it' as you put it.
james potter - September 3, 2007 04:16 AM (GMT)
You're a dirty liar, you minx you.
But don't worry love, I'll get it
out of you, be assured of that.
...I mean, why don't you want
just a normal life? Besides, even
if you were deaf, I'm sure that
the Healers at St. Mungoes could
fix it. They've been making great
strides in that sort of thing lately.
...you should think about that...
if you're really deaf, that is.
-- James
katy sullivan - September 3, 2007 04:23 AM (GMT)
what is normal?
I would have no idea. my life hasn't been normal
since I was nine. after that, anything I knew before
was forgotten and replaced by the milestones
I live my life on now.
I don't have the money to go to a hospital.
james potter - September 3, 2007 04:28 AM (GMT)
Normal is having fun.
Being a part of a crowd.
Being the leader of said crowd,
if you so choose. Normal is...
being able to laugh at stupid
jokes someone makes. Or...
I dunno, taking notes in class.
I'm assuming you can still do
all of that, seeing as you're not
really deaf.
And even if you were I assume
you still could do some of those
normal things. And what milestones
do you live your life on now, then?
...so get money. -shrug-
raise money, earn money. save it.
whatever. I KNOW. i can start
a hogwarts pimp service, and all the
proceeds can go to you and your cause.
...or i could just turn to prostitution.
because i'm already a manwhore,
apparently, and you shouldn't tarnish
that glimmering reputation of yours
just for the sake of money,
Plenty of girls would pay for a night
with me. I'm sorry, was that arrogant
and crude? Either way its true.
-- James
katy sullivan - September 3, 2007 04:43 AM (GMT)
unless you haven't noticed I'm a
freak. no one wants to be near me and my muggliness.
and if they get close enough it's to curse me.
and the milestones I live on you
wouldn't have any idea what they're like.
I saw my mother be killed for not
knowing how to wield a wand.
My father was hit by a eighteen wheeler
and his body was scattered across the corner
of Roseberry and Farringdon streets.
I watched the police officers scrape his
body into a bodybag right before I was
swept off to a magical family who was more
concerned with their children contracting some
disease from me then they were actually about
caring for me.
I don't accept charity James.
and could you stop thinking about
yourself for one goddamn minute?
james potter - September 3, 2007 05:13 AM (GMT)
...Merlin...
Look, Katy...I'm sorry.
I really am. No one should
have to go through something
like that. Least of all someone as
innocent as you are. Its not fair.
I can't imagine what you've gone
through, but I'm sorry you have.
But...and I'll probably get slapped
for saying this...but do you really
think cutting yourself off from the
world is what your parents would
have wanted for you?
Also, sorry about that last bit. I guess
me trying to be clever and funny
doesn't always work. It was a joke.
And lastly, I'm going to address that
first part. YOU ARE NOT A BLOODY
FREAK. Okay, so you're a little peculiar.
But its certainly not because you're
a muggleborn. Maybe it has to do with
the fact that you're completely anti-social
and pretend to be deaf? So in case you
haven't noticed, I obviously don't not want
to be near you.
Think all that over, will you?
-- James
katy sullivan - September 3, 2007 05:21 AM (GMT)
I didn't choose to cut myself off.
No one liked me when I did talk.
my parents only wanted what made me happy.
being an enigma makes.... me happy.
so yes, that's what they want for me.
it was a bad joke.
I don't pretend I'm deaf.
There was an accident and I lost
my hearing... I. Am. Deaf.
And I have no idea why you
want to be near me. So I can even
begin to think it over.
sorry.
-- Katy.
james potter - September 3, 2007 05:27 AM (GMT)
If you're happy now, you'll
get lonely eventually. I mean,
seriously you can't expect to
live your life alone. Just because
a few people in your life have
brought you down you expect
the rest of the world to be against
you. Its unfair to not give people
the benefit of the doubt.
...except slytherins. them you can
continue not speaking to.
See the funny thing is, I have no
idea why I want to be near you either.
I mean, I barely know you, and yet,
here I am, trying to get something
out of you. I could be being a total
insensitive jerk, but I have a feeling
that I'm right. And eventually you'll
admit it. I'm not sure when that
eventually is. But I'm not giving up.
-- James
katy sullivan - September 3, 2007 05:33 AM (GMT)
I...
what people? I don't see any lineups
outside my dorm door. no one's coming.
...James... I don't need you to be nice
to me. I don't need you to try and be
a friend. I'm okay with being alone.
I've spent a good portion of my life
being alone. and ...
james potter - September 3, 2007 05:49 AM (GMT)
UM HELLO?!
is that what you want?
do you want me to wait outside
your dorm door? because i will.
if thats what it takes to get you
to bloody TALK, dammit.
...I'm not doing it to be nice.
and I'm not doing it because I
have to or feel obligated. I don't
do anything if I don't want to.
...I actually want to get to know
you. Which believe me, surprises
me more than it should surprise you.
Not like you're horrible or anything...
i'll stop before i ramble.
...and what?
-- James
katy sullivan - September 3, 2007 06:02 AM (GMT)
this is way too personal.
I have... classes... I should be studying for.
james potter - September 3, 2007 06:07 AM (GMT)
Whats your favourite colour?
-- James
katy sullivan - September 3, 2007 06:11 AM (GMT)
james potter - September 3, 2007 06:14 AM (GMT)
brilliant.
gryffindor colours.
mine?
...onion. y'know the reddish
purple color on the outside of
onions? what is that...maroon?
-- James
katy sullivan - September 3, 2007 06:28 AM (GMT)
that'd be magenta.
why are we talking about colours?
--katy
james potter - September 3, 2007 06:31 AM (GMT)
You don't want to talk about colors?
How about animals, do you like animals?
-- James
katy sullivan - September 3, 2007 06:34 AM (GMT)
I'm a vegan.
of course I like animals.
james potter - September 3, 2007 06:38 AM (GMT)
Yeah? Brilliant.
I tired being a vegitarian for a bit.
I've resolved to only eating fish
and chicken. Because well, I like
...never saw a chicken alive...
and fish creep me out. So I
rarely eat fish anyways...
...yeah. But i think thats great.
-- James
katy sullivan - September 3, 2007 06:39 AM (GMT)
umm thanks...
are you okay?
-- katy
james potter - September 3, 2007 06:41 AM (GMT)
katy sullivan - September 3, 2007 06:43 AM (GMT)
well.. it's just that...
nevermind.
...how's your...studying coming?
james potter - September 6, 2007 03:02 AM (GMT)
just that what? bloody
hell woman, you're difficult
to understand.
..should i be studying?
katy sullivan - September 6, 2007 03:53 AM (GMT)
no. I won't bring it up again
or I'll have you attacking me with questions again.
I'm quite simple to understand thank you
very much Mr Potter.
well, no... I don't believe you, of all people,
study. but I was hoping for a change of
subject. if you want my opinion: yes you
should be studying. need my help?
james potter - September 6, 2007 04:04 AM (GMT)
bring what up again?!
you say you're simple and yet,
here I am, always guessing...
maybe you're just too clever
for me, miss sullivan.
I just don't need to study.
So don't use that as a change
of subject. I've actually forgotten
what we're changing the subject
from. If I did need to study, you
would probably be the first to know
katy sullivan - September 6, 2007 04:14 AM (GMT)
you know! my deafness
really you have a one track mind James.
you need to fix that, or it may end up into alot of trouble.
hardly am I clever. as you're so quick to
point out 'I'm the girl you pretends to
be deaf' that must prove the extent of my intelligence.
glad to see I'm high on your
priority list, that always makes a
girl feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
james potter - September 6, 2007 04:21 AM (GMT)
Ah thats right, your facade.
One track mind? And what might
that track be, Sullivan?
You're intelligent enough, as far
as I can tell. I mean, unintelligent
people would be unable to keep
up such a ruse for such a long period
of time. Its impossible.
Lately, and quite surprisingly...
you've taken up quite a lot of
my thinking time. Its incredibly
interesting. Never has a girl held
my attention for such a long period
of time.
katy sullivan - September 6, 2007 04:25 AM (GMT)
I have no idea, but I
sure hope it's appropriate for school Mister Potter.
-insert laugh here-
Sure, but then again anyone could
do anything if they put their mind to it.
...I have no idea how to respond to
that. what is that anyway? is that like
a declaration of infatuation? or
something I am obviously terribly
naive about?
