twenty-nine; alternate future!Tobi is dating Yukimi, fyi

[onlyapparate]

Everyone, I hope we're all staying calm after this strange turn of events. It seems the Castle transported us to different point in time. I checked my calendar, and it claims this is 2010, to be exact. It's hard to believe, I know. And although some of you are not here with the best intentions, I think it's safe to say that whatever magic occurred will revert itself soon enough, just as it always does. So try not to panic. Trust me, I've been working here for a while now.

What this means is, it's safe to assume that our children are safe at home, as it's likely that only people in Hogwarts ten years ago were affected. So I won't get mad at you, Yukimi, because it's not your fault you left Dawn at home.

Since that's the case, let's try and think back to what we were like ten years ago! It seems like such a long time ago, doesn't it? Times were a lot simpler then... I was single, for one thing...

I was fresh and ready to conquer the world. Some of my best years. Take care of me and never let me leave the house?

We all have dreams of grandeur when we graduate. [ Except Tobi who was an emo kid. ] Probably. I'd force you to move here so I could keep an eye on you, always.

Did you dream about becoming a teacher? No way. I wouldn't live here again.

[onlyapparate]

Yes and no? My dreams back then were a little skewed. I think I found my passion after I came here, to be honest. Not even for me?

[yukimi-mama.livejournal.com]

Oh? What did you want to do? ..Maybe. It'd be a little weird.

[onlyapparate]

Honestly? Hunt down and kill dark wizards. [ said with a smile. ah, nostalgia! ] We all know how that turned out. Only until you got better. I could always just visit you every day... I'm sure it's not unheard of for teachers to live off the grounds.

I don't know how I feel about that one yet. That sounds like a long trip to make just for me.

[onlyapparate]

I was a moody kid. You know how that goes. It wouldn't be too bad. You're worth the trip and more, you know.

[yukimi-mama.livejournal.com]

Moody is not the word I would use. You know, you spoil me.

[onlyapparate]

Morbid, maybe. I do my best.

[yukimi-mama.livejournal.com]

You grew out of that nicely. Your best is also your worst.

[onlyapparate]

Life is odd that way. I guess I got to a point where I decided I could either keep feeling sorry for myself, or do something productive. Oh, really? How's that?

[yukimi-mama.livejournal.com]

At least you figured it was better that way. I always knew I was being selfish, and I didn't care. You have an uncanny way of making me feel bad without even trying.

[onlyapparate]

Well, we're different like that. At least you've gotten past it. Ah-- Was it something I said?

[yukimi-mama.livejournal.com]

Yeah. At least. You wouldn't like me very much if I was still like that. No. Nothing you said.. It's just the way you act.

[onlyapparate]

Little by little, you changed. It's not like the you from now wasn't hidden underneath the you from back then. And how's that?
