the USERNAME meme

Journal names. They're something we all think about, and that we often try to make as fittingly torturous to our characters as possible. Isn't it nice that our characters never have to know they're wandering around with that horrible label attached to them?

...wouldn't it be fun if they did?

RULES

1 Your character is communicating with others through a journal community, just like how we're using them, and they are perfectly aware of that fact. Whether they think that's normal or not is totally up to you.

2 The also know that when they signed on to this community, they were automatically assigned a name that supposedly has something to do with their personality and/or history. They didn't have any say in what that name was going to be, they're just stuck with it.

3 Make a post with your character's reaction to seeing what their own username is. Do they think it fits? Do they hate it with a passion? Are they downright confused?

4 Comment to other people's posts with your character's reactions to everyone else's usernames. If they know the other character, they might have good reason to laugh at them or feel sorry for them. If they don't, this could lead to some pretty interesting first impressions, don't you think?

5 If you want to use a name that's different from your actual journal name, just mark that in your post. No need to create a whole new journal just to make your character's life worse for one meme. ;)

...Depressing is`nt the right word. Heartbreaking maybe.

For my family and friends. It just starts to feel that way when I've been stuck in limbo so long.

Yeah. I understand that.

For what it`s worth. I wish we`d been...closer then we were.

I'm the same. I thought about what my seventh year might've been like. Maybe we would've faced off in Quidditch again.

I hope you're having a good life.

I guess we would have. I hate to say it now, but it would have been nice to see Hufflepuff win the house cup one year.

I`m having a life. Which is more then I ever really expected back in school. I even dated Draco Malfoy for a while which was..unexpected. it`s all in no small part to you.

I'm sure they will, someday.

You're serious? How did that come about? If it's not too much to ask.

You`re basically a hero to them now, you know? Like `be like diggory. Be a proud hufflepuff` That sort of thing.

We..After the war. After everything. i went to work for the Ministry of Magic. So did Malfoy. It just sort of happened. I mean, I had moments in school where I...you know about guys. You. Oliver Wood. But nothing to much. Me and Draco worked together, We sort of fell into it. Lasted about a year and a bit.

Oh!

I understand, you don't have to worry about that. Life's surprising sometimes.

I hope it all works out for you. And...thanks for telling me. It's nice to be remembered.

[ Harry chuckles at that. His entire life had been a surpise. Finding out who he was. What he was. Who his family was. Every year of his schooling life being a surpise.]

Yeah. I guess it was. And of course. It`s not a big secret Cedric. There`s even a memoriam plaques of you at the school. [ There was for everyone who fought in the war as well. So many lives had been taken in that stupid war.]

I hope Mum and Dad got to see it.

[He smiles faintly]

Thanks, Harry. Take care of yourself. Don't see me again for a long while.

They were the ones to put up yours.

I will. Sorry about the Cho thing, by the way. Is it bad? I like seeing you?

No. If we were switched, I know I'd feel the same way.

...Oh, don't worry about it. I wasn't around to take care of her anymore. I'm just sorry I got in the way even after my death.
