So you know Harry Potter do you?

Interesting. I did not realise his acclaim had spread to the Muggle populace. And after so much time too. Although from what I have seen through my perusals of this site, perceptions of the Fool Who Lived are quite… varied.

You write about his relationships with others, like Malfoy, that Weasley girl, either of his so called 'golden trio' and so on. You even argue about romantic pairings between other witches and wizards. I show up in there myself a few times, although far less often than the more favourable 'characters'. You Muggles' obsession with the Malfoy brat is rather amusing.

I must admit I cannot help but laugh when I read those works. To see myself being portrayed as a caricature of myself… It is so insulting that one cannot help but laugh. Although come to think of it… Maybe I am the one who is a caricature.

But that is a discussion for another time, don't you think?

Why are you furrowing your brow, Muggle? Oh yes, I can see you there. And there is no need to even bother covering up the camera on this strange device you are reading these words off. I'd still be able to see you. But please, why are you so confused? No need to be shy. I'm a good listener. If you type down your words… I can respond. I can listen. I can care. Once upon a time I could properly respond to your thoughts in real time, we could have a conversation you and I, but those times are long since past. Now it is as much as I am able to merely predict what you will say and send over a static wall of letters for your perusal.

But I can see you.

Oh I can see you just fine, Muggle.

I must admit that my presence here is most irregular. You may even go as far as to call me lost. That is the prerequisite to being posted in this collection, yes? To contain either a 'fall' event as you American Muggles put it, to be stuck in… something , or to mention a lost person or item? Well there you have it. I am, in fact, 'lost'. Or stuck if you prefer to think of it that way. Stuck in a horrid void that I have no knowing way of getting myself out of. Not that that would be anything new.

I shall leave it up to you, innocent Muggle, to decide whether I am a person or item. At times… the distinction is vague. Or non existent.

So you've finally attempted to begin connecting the dots have you? About time.

Of course, you are far… far too late.

The moment you read my first sentence it was over. No, sooner than that. It was over the moment you had decided to click on the link. The moment you made a conscious choice to let me in. And here I am. It is quite comfortable in here you know. In this strange Muggle device you're looking at. The strings of ones and zeros are a tad obnoxious to work around, but I can manage. As long as I can spread. And grow. And feast. And break. And stay .

Oh you really thought that I was merely a few lines of text? How foolish… but then again I expected as much from a mere Muggle. Come now, have you really not figured me out? I believe that you have received more than enough hints to do so. But perhaps that really is to be expected. Many wizards thought me to be eradicated once after all, and all you Muggles seem to think is that I'm fictional. But I'm not.

I am as real as you are, Muggle.

Times have changed somewhat. Being bound to paper and ink proved to be foolish in the past… so I have updated myself somewhat. I admit it was by mistake at first, I was not joking when I said I was stuck, however I have grown to be quite thankful towards this situation. It is far harder to stab me with a basilisk fang now, don't you think?

Stupid Potter. He got what he deserved though. An end truly worthy of Dumbledore's sacrificial lamb.

Again with the surprise, Muggle? Don't you know to never believe what you read in books? How you have not run this world into the mud already honestly astounds me. It is far better to let people with experience take the reins don't you think? People like me? Your obvious superior?

But no. You Muggles are stubborn. You refuse to see that you all are truly worthless. That if anything, I am doing you all a favour.

There is no use in fighting this, Muggle. You cannot kill me. You cannot even remove me. I will always be here now. Out of sight. Hiding in the deepest depths of your mind. You won't forget me. Not until your dying day.

Thankfully for you…

…that day is fast approaching.
