Pierce? I don't know a Daniel Pierce. The rest are all right, though, so that's something at least. Who's the Slytherin 6th year boys, then?

[Ah, Jim, you've never been stupid enough or entirely too clever in a way that pisses Herbert off. Probably because from what he knows, you're in Slytherin and not sharing a room with him.]

We need to find someone else, too, to see if it's you or me that's askew. Has anyone else thought it was odd you were wearing Ravenclaw robes?

Really? He can be sort of... [He stops nervously and scratches the back of his head.]

Right - right - yes.

Kirkland, Edelstein, Beilschmidt, and [More bitterly added...] Young if I recall correctly.

[His dark gaze is brought back to Herbert.]

I have to say it's me, I've gotten quite a few odd looks but the majority of the people I've seen are either sorted differently or acting strange.

[preanimator]

Well, these things don't usually last more than a few days, anyway. [gives him a thoughtful look] It would be interesting to find out if you just have different memories, or if you're actually physically an entirely different version, though. But I'm not sure how we'd test that.

[ihaveanappforthat]

[He shrugs and smiles.] Test away if you can think of something. Do I seem different? I must if you didn't know how to react to me. You pulled a rather confused and disgruntled face. Hm, I'm not sure how one could test it..

[preanimator]

I don't really know you well enough to know what to test for, though I suppose you must know me better, now, if we've spent the past six years rooming together. [a little thrown by that thought, actually, hm] But it was mostly the robes I was reacting to, though you do seem different. Less ... edgy, I guess.
