Cliché Fourteen: Wandless Magic

Happy New Year, Riddle.

Oh? What is the date?

January 13th, 1986

Then Happy New Year. Can I get your name?

Call me Daze. Happy belated birthday; your present is me writing in black this one time.

Could you use green instead of pink next time?

Compromise: I'll use silver.

Agreed. How have you been since we last talked, Daze?

I'm alright now that winter politics are over. I have a question.

I might have an answer.

If the only colour of ink in this diary was, let's say pink, then would your hair also be pink?

There is a long moment of only blank pages staring at Daisy's face.

I'm a diary, I don't have hair.

Sure you do, Diary-crux. You just need more magic.

I fail to see how those correspond.

Complete side note, no I'm not wearing gloves.

Pardon?

I just don't want you taking skin cells, that'd be gross.

I'm not planning on taking whatever skin cells are from you.

Yes, you are.

No, I'm very sure I'm not.

You are trying to absorb the magic I'm not letting you touch which is keeping my dead skin cells attached to my hands so you don't go absorbing them. It's gross. Stop. This is not how you want to get a body.

I truly don't know what you're taking about.

Riddle, your other Horcruxes aren't nearly as pushy as you are.

Horcruxes. As in the plural of Horcrux?

Horcruxi, Horcruxies, Horcrucies, Horcruxen, Horcruxae, Horcruxum

I see your point. How many have you found?

Those seven, but if I find a dictionary I'm sure I can find more ways to make it a plural.

Please be serious. How many Horcruxes have you found?

Are we including the ones not yours?

I don't care about other people's Horcruxes.

That's good, because I haven't any other person's Horcrux.

You- fine. How many of my Horcruxes have you found?

None, unless you split your soul without me knowing.

Daze, you know that's not what I'm asking.

But that's what you did ask.

Alright, how many of the main soul's Horcruxes have you found?

I've found two.

It takes a long moment for him to write back.

How many are in your possession right now?

Two.

She smiles, pretty sure he's screaming somewhere in the pages.

How many of the Horcruxes, excluding me, have you communicated with, and who also belong to either the main soul or another Horcrux that split itself?

Two.

How do they put up with you?

They don't talk to me.

It makes so much sense.

Rude.

My apologies. When you said they aren't as pushy as me, what did you mean?

They don't constantly try to absorb my magic.

I promise I'm not.

Riddle. I can feel you. It's not like your being sub

The only warning she gets is Harry's apologetic twitch he sends her through the Lord-Lady Potter rings. In thirty seconds Daisy has stuffed the diary back in its hidey hole, covered everything up, and silently flung herself across the library to sprawl on the couch with a book cracked over her head. It's another minute before Draco and her brother reach the library, the former flinging the door open with a bang.

"Harry said you taught him wandless magic," Draco says, zeroing in on her.

Daisy blinks. That's it? "And…?"

"Teach me," he pauses at her deadpan expression and smiles. "Please."

"Alright," Daisy shrugs and flings the book back where she got it front. Draco gaps at the display of magic which should be impossible coming from the space-case girl. Daisy sends a quick glance at her brother. "Did you tell him about Neville?"

When Harry explains, Draco throws his hands up and whines. "He knows wandless magic?"

"It's quite easy," Daisy says as she holds the blond's hand and shows him how to guide his magic around. "All you have to do is want it more than the other person or thing."

And a person with two lives to their essence wants more than anyone else with one or less.


A/N: Daisy's having fun with making Diary suffer. Thanks for reading!

Thank you, Mayumi Yuki, for your review! I'm so glad to hear! Daisy is definitely trying to emulate Luna, more fun that way. After Raddle she's definitely hunting for Horcuxes, if 'hunting' was more like 'gotta catch them all'. I've debated pairing her with T.R.J./Voldemort, but she may end up crazy cat lady because she wants no part of the inbreeding and I'd rather not stick her with an OC (no-maj or not). Hogwarts is going to be fun; so many people on her revenge list in one place. Thank you so much for your review, and I hope you enjoyed the chapter!

Thank you, Wrabbit75, for your review! Thank you so much for pointing that out, it was a typo so no special meaning. I really hope you enjoyed the chapter, and thank you so much for reviewing!
