Elder Blood Witcher 349 Deadpool Is That You?

"Er, sorry? I must have mis-stepped..."

Victor "We vill see." he says through gritted teeth before quickly retreating, probably back to their pirate s.h.i.+p or whatever.

Reima simply shrugs and walks into the hall, he quickly notices Ciri sitting next to Hermione Granger which is an extremely weird occurrence. He notes Harry Potter and Ron Weasley sitting not too far away and extends his hearing to listen into their conversation.

Ron "Come on Harry! Surely you must have a way to enter, you always cause something weird to happen every year... Why not just give me a chance to prove myself for once, just so people don't just see me as your side-kick"

Harry "For the last time Ron, I don't have a way to enter the tournament. And I haven't been making weird stuff happen in the past, weird stuff just happens to me!" he replies with a touch of anger in his voice. Reima notes that the boys trembling doesn't seem to affect him when he's angry, for some reason?

He stops listening in on the duo and walks over to Ciri and Hermione.

Hermione "So, what did you study in Greenland?"

Ciri "Oh, youknow... This and that..." she says vaguely.

Hermione "I don't know, that's why I'm asking."

Reima plops himself down next to Ciri and looks over at Hermione. "Yo Ciri, who's your new friend?"

Ciri glances at him and gestures towards Hermione "This is Hermione Granger, she's in my cla.s.ses but we've never had a chance to actually talk."

Hermione "I already know you Reima Ludvig, you were apparently with Ciri when she... Dealt with those terrorist at the World Cup."

Reima nods, "Yeah well, youknow what they say about trash... You either dump it or burn it." he says with a grim smile.

Hermione glowers at him, "Or repurpose it."

Reima shrugs, "What use is rotten infected meat that causes suffering for everyone nearby?"

Hermione "You can use it as fertiliser." she says matter-of-factly.

Reima "That's just dumping them with extra steps." he laughs, feeling as if they're having two conversations at once.

Ciri "I think you both'll have to agree to disagree on this..."

Hermione "And you Ciri? What's your impression on this?"

Ciri "It depends if your talking about fertiliser or murderous rapists." she replies succinctly.

Hermione blanches at her but continue regardless, "The latter, should they be reintegrated into society after being cured of whatever ailment they may have or... Dumped as Reima had put it."

Ciri thinks for a moment before replying, "I think it depends on the person. But I'll say that most if not all murderers and rapists deserve death, you can't rehabilitate someone who's incapable of learning."

Hermione has apparently had enough of hearing this and hands Snuffles over to Ciri before walking away, large stack of books in hand.

Reima chuckles, "Guess she didn't like what she was hearing.

Ciri "She's just never witnessed what people would do to each other if given the choice... I think she would quickly change her tune if she witnessed a father killing his wife and raping his daughters. Things like that will happen and to suggest that imprisoning him and try to reeducate him would be the solution is a fools errand." she says, looking into the invisible fourth wall.

Reima nods, "I suppose it's just up to the sensibilities of those in-charge, they don't want blood on their hands and are willing to keep criminals alive on the off chance that they'll become productive members of society, they don't take into account the people that may be killed later on as a result." he says, thinking back to all the "compa.s.sionate" arguments against the death penalty he'd heard in his past life and even in debates with Geralt.

Eventually the duo + rabbit make their way up to the room of requirement to continue to train, Reima notes that Ciri had increased the intensity of her training for some reason but doesn't think anything of it while he himself prepares for the upcoming tournament that he'd no doubt be part of.

Inside the room he also explains his talk with Dumbledore and the fact that the old man would be providing them with blood for Nerissa. Something Ciri and Reima were relieved by.

Reima also lets Ciri know that tomorrow night will be a full moon and that she should prepare for it mentally. After a couple hours of training the group separates and joins their room mates in their dorms. Damien greet Reima as if nothing had happened between them, Reima suspects that Dumbledore hadn't told Damien of the true reason he was having various health problems which suited him just fine.
