As if the pensive wasn't enough to bring WAR FLASHBACKS from the time in the forbidden forrest and that horrible detention where he had to relive the moment only days after it had happened, they were actually going to have an entire lesson centered around death too.
GREAT.
This is EXACTLY what Zander wanted to learn about the moment he rolled out of bed this morning. Man, Dakest couldn't have done a better job choosing their class's subject material. It was PERFECT. Zander was absolutely elated to learn about all things death. Sounded like TONS OF FUN. He was SUPER jazzed.
.... And he felt like he was going to throw up too. Just brilliant.
He considered leaving to do the snitch activity. And I mean, REALLY REALLY considered it. But... That'd mean staying with all the first through third years. He'd be the oldest one in there. He was the Head Boy. He'd be a complete joke if he left this room, not that he wasn't already but even MORE of one. He couldn't just get up and leave. Everyone would see him. That and his feet felt like they were superglued to the ground.
So despite wanting to learn about anything but the killing curse, he remained seated. Face as pale as a blank sheet of parchment. Stomach churning. Head uneasy.
Perfect.
So he'd sit here. He'd learn. He'd listen. But he wasn't under any circumstances going to look into that pensive. Watching one person die in real life was enough. He didn't need to see it again. He knew what death looked like. He could imagine what the killing curse did. Especially with all the visuals Sophie gave in response to the questions, Zander felt like he could practically imagine the whole thing spot on.
"It shouldn't be used." That's what he knew about it. Nobody should be allowed to use it. Voldemort was a different case, sure, but they had no reason to use it now. It was unforgivable for a reason. Zander was more sure of this than he was sure of anything else. The killing curse shouldn't even be an option. Death could be prevented. Even if death by Avada Kedavra was quick and painless. It shouldn't be used. And that was that.
