The ghost of your disappointment is haunting him -- July 1997

"You're just saying that because you know I'm right. You don't want to admit your wrong out loud." I sighed and smirked at him. "It's okay Draco, we both know the truth and that's all that matters here."

I shook my head.  "That's not it at all," I said to her matter-of-factly.  There was no reason for me to admit a bloody thing out loud.  There was no way I was going to say anything about her being right out loud.  That was a recipe for disaster.

"Of course it's not." I replied sarcastically with an eye roll. "Because your twin has never been right in her entire life...right?" I raise my eyebrows at my brother.

"I am not answering that," I said her.  "Because if I do, then I admit that you're right.  If I don't, at least I have put the tiny shred of doubt in your mind.  Just because I feel like shite and look it, doesn't mean you can trap me like that."  I gave her a bit of a smile.  I did not necessarily mean to bring up my current state, but it was the truth.

I gave a hummer less laugh. "As if I need anymore doubt about myself." I pointed out, thinking of every little thing Father had ever said to me. The Disapontmet definitely did not need anymore doubt in her mind that she was the Disapontmet.. I smirked at him to lighten the mood. "I'll just take your silence as 'You're always right June'" I informed him. "We can just leave it at that." I winked at him to seal the deal.

I shook my head at her.  "I'm glad that you are up to bickering," I said to her.  I knew I definitely was not.
