[The shadow laughs. Ambition and drive. You're the laziest person you know. You're here because you know how to get others to do things for you, you're clever. But you think that's a good trait. You're proud of that, aren't you. You're proud of being lazy.

He snaps back, even if Marshall can't hear the comment that spurred it, or see what he's yelling at.] I'm not lazy!! I'm just not used to being independent yet --

...I'm sorry. Likely, it's obvious what it was accusing me of. But... thank you. I have the exact same view, really. I learned a lot more about music from the Muggle end of things than I did from the Wizarding end. It's more intellectually stimulating when there's no magical aid; it's... more fascinating, that people can write this music without it. They don't make songbirds sing to give them ideas, they have to wait for the songbirds to sing, for their inner muses to speak.

I don't see why it's so wrong to think using magic takes the fun out of it. My mother just wants me to stay in the Wizarding world no matter what, and... I'm starting to think it's because she regrets marrying a muggle.

[Marshall suddenly understands. When he had been alive he had similar issues.]

It's all right. I don't judge and whatever it's accusing you of it's full of shit.
[His own shadow laughed.] If anyone is full of shit Marshall Lee it's you. Look at you trying to be a cheerleader. You're a monster and that's what you'll always be.
[Marshall snaps and turns snarling to the shadow.] If I snap on anything it's going to be you![He recovers his composure and sighs deeply.] Sorry..I'm just so sick of hearing it..
Anyways...I've never used magic for music. I've always done things on my own. Music is a really personal thing and I've always felt that it should come from inside of you. Magical aid seems like cheating.
[He gets a little quiet at Roderichs comment about his mother. When he speaks his voice sounds far away as if he's remembering something.]
I don't think that's the case. I think she probably just wants what she feels is best for you. Sometimes though..you just have to go your own way..even if you end up hurting the people that love you.
