The Library

[janet_fraiser]

Janet unlocked the library and walked in, setting her laptop down warily behind the desk and trying not to think about Hathor the last time she was in here. She took a drink from her extra-large mug of coffee and started working.

ETA: She popped out a moment later and stuck a note up on the door: "New teachers need to check out the Rules of Conduct and fill out a library card application in blue or black ink, damn it. Please come inside for a form. Thank you."

"Hello, Draco," says Janet. "I'm always glad when a day possesses a passing resemblance to normal." She eyes the burn mark on his cheek. "Have you been to the clinic to have that looked at yet? Untreated burns can get infected easily."

Draco fingers the burn mark. He winces for a second.

"I'll get Lily to look at it later." he says with a playful glint in his eye.

"Listen, I know that the Special Collections section is off limits but do you have any idea when it will be open again? Don't worry, I'm not trying to blow up the school because of the election results. It's just spell of mine didn't work as it should and I need to read up on it."

"Ah," says Janet, amused. "I see why you waited."

She shakes her head. "No clue on Special Collections, though. You'll have to talk to the prof the next time he's around. He'll make that decision."

Parker wanders by, shades still on, and says sweetly, "Good race, Draco. Hope you're not too upset about losing. It's only Student Council, after all."

"Why thank you Parker. Don't worry, I've got other ways to take over the world." says Draco.

Parker rolls her eyes. "I'm sure you do." Will not ask about his dad, will not ask about his dad, will not... but I *will* ask about something else.

"I've been meaning to ask you. If you don't mind. This Voldemort guy. Does anyone take him seriously? Really? Or is he just a magic terrorist? I can't tell from what I've read."

Draco winces at Parker's use of the Dark Lord's name. He didn't think muggles would have been able to find infomation on the Dark Lord.

"Let me put it this way: We don't even speak his name. That's how much we fear him. He's responsible for a lot of deaths, magical and muggle alike. And as of right now, there's no stopping us him."

He pauses for a second.

"And good work on the tattoo thing. You got me there for a second."

Parker is surprised, then grins. "Yeah, well. Leave the past behind, right? Look at Marty Blank. So... if you're *really* not part of that party, what was the harm in asking? That's what your buddy Angelus would say, right? You handled it fine, from what I heard."

She looks sympathetic. "Sorry your country's having such a hard time with that guy. Hey, what does Voldemort *mean*, anyway? Mort, death. Volde-- running? Twirling? Making? Meadow? Or is it just his name, and it's not his fault it sounds ... weird?"

"Well, let's certain members of my family belong to the party, so it's kind of a touchy subject."

Draco looks thoughtful for a moment.

"You know...I really don't know where he got his name. I hope his parents named him that. How stupid would it be if you chose that to be your evil alter ego?"

Parker laughs at the evil alter ego comment. "Someone ought to ask him. Then duck and cover afterwards, I suppose."

She shrugs. "Names have influence, though. Malfoy; bad faith. Draco: dragon. Can't get a coherent image off your name, can you? And Angelus... what's up with that?"

[pure-blooddraco.livejournal.com]

"Oh come on, I can't think of anyone who better represents an angel than Angelus."

"If you're into Lucifer? Definitely. "

She picks up a few books for shelving. "Good luck at the clinic with that burn. Hope you get Alanna or Cuddy to treat you, and not House."

Special Collections will be re-opened when we've taken steps to insure no one will be turned into a squallin' feline. In the meantime, there's always the less exotic magic section.
