Oi! Lav!!!

[alt_ron]

LOOK OUT BEHIND YOU!!!!

Um.

There.

In the bushes.

Comments

[alt_pansy]

What is it!

Is it a man? Looking like he's looking for something?

Quick! Where are you?

[alt_padma]

Oh, ha-ha.

We've all been doing that joke all week, Weasley. No one's falling for it. It's not as if we're playing Gobstones.

[alt_ron]

Yeah, I don't know.

It could be. He's in the bushes.

[alt_ron]

No, I'm serious, Patil.

[alt_pansy]

because this might be rather important

[alt_ron]

Right.

What?

I can't see it now cause a bunch of people got in the way.

[alt_pansy]

well if there is someone suspicious like get mr lestrange or one of Harry's security to check it out or something because I don't like the sound of that at all.

[alt_padma]

I SEE HIM! LAV AND I CAN SEE HIM

[alt_lavender]

What are you talking about, Weasley?

I don't see anyth

OH!

[alt_lavender]

LET'S RUN!

[alt_ron]

Wait! Not that way!!!

Ooops.


Bet that hurt.

[alt_zacharias]

Where'd you get to, Weasley? The counselors are here and they're telling us to all go into the greenhouse and they'll be portkeying us back to the Horseguards.

[alt_ron]

Yeah, um.

Everyone's running all over. Like that chicken in the panto last night.

I think you can come out and no one'll notice. If you've got girl issues or whatever. Just. Don't tell me, okay?

[alt_padma]

You're not helping, Weasley.

[alt_lavender]

Ow! Ow!

Do you think he recognised us?

[alt_ron]

Huh? Oh. I went to the loo only I saw something and then

yeah

all this happened

greenhouses?

[alt_ron]

Who?

Could you tell who it is?

[alt_zacharias]

Was that the girls' loo, then?

The hothouse, Weasley. Over in the open part. Between the picnic area and the gate, yeah?

I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up to No Good

[alt_gredforge]

Ron. Honestly.

We obviously need to go over Effective Methods of Distraction with you. Too bad we weren't there.

(Did it work?)

[alt_padma]

It wasn't Macnair. It must have been Snape! He was all in black.

And he had really mean-looking eyes.

Re: I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up to No Good

[alt_sally_anne]

I think she got out of the loo but I don't know if she'll get out of the park.

I don't know what she's going to do. If I'm right, I mean.

[alt_ron]

you must've been pretty close

to see his eyes and all, I mean

[alt_ron]

Not the girl's loo, you berk.

Yeah, there's an Auror coming this way, telling people where they've got to go.

[alt_lavender]

He gave me a hideous glare when I turned around!

And he was really thin--skeleton thin, just like a person who's been in prison for ages and ages would be.

Re: I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up to No Good

[alt_ron]

Of course it worked!

Lavender Brown is the biggest screamer in our year.

Re: I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up to No Good

[alt_terry]

But who was she?

[alt_padma]

And he was covered in hair, wasn't he, Lav? We saw it! It was like the hair was ALL OVER his face and everything.

[alt_padma]

He was watching us!! All this time!

Ugh, I've got the shudders all over.

I don't think I'll be able to shut my eyes tonight at all. He was really scary-looking.

[alt_lavender]

It was Horrid!

What if MacNair is somewhere nearby, too?

[alt_lavender]

Oh, thank Merlin! I feel so much safer now!

[alt_pansy]

what?

[alt_padma]

Well, the Aurors are here now and Mr Lestrange so I don't think anything will happen to us. Provided they get us back to the Horseguards right away.

How awful! And to think we've been joking about it all week.

[alt_pansy]

I mean.

...okay?

Re: I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up to No Good

[alt_neville]

No kidding.

But, blimey, Ron. You say you spied one of those escaped prisoners, and you could get more of a distraction than you planned on.

[alt_ron]

Harry's with you, then. Right?

Nothing happened to him, did it?

Re: I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up to No Good

[alt_sally_anne]

I don't know her name. Pansy might have asked, when I was in the stall writing in my journal she was giving the woman her handkerchief and telling her it would all be alright.

She made it sound like she was just some witch, a few years out of Hogwarts, who'd gotten on the wrong side of someone really powerful.

I think she was an escaped muggleborn, only she'd been in service to someone who gets her wardrobe from Padma's mum and she raided the wardrobes before she took off. She had a scar that looked -- well. Who knows, maybe she was actually Macnair with polyjuice, I suppose I shouldn't rule ANYTHING out, but she was so frightened.

Re: I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up to No Good

[alt_sally_anne]

It sounds like people really saw someone. Maybe Snape really WAS at the park.

[alt_molly]

Ron! Ron?! What on earth is going on?

[alt_lavender]

I know!

It gives me the creeping horrors just thinking about it.

Order Only

[alt_molly]

Arthur, are you reading this?!

I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good

[alt_sally_anne]

RON YOU BERK

She actually said she had girl issues but

UGH

Re: Order Only

[alt_arthur]

Steady on, Molly. I trust the clock isn't pointed to anything alarming?

Re: I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good

[alt_ron]

Wot?

Re: Order Only

[alt_molly]

No...no, it's not.

[alt_sally_anne]

HONESTLY Ron, like we'd even be worrying about that with some criminal running around the park!

Re: I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good

[alt_sally_anne]

SHE DIDN'T KNOW I'D ASKED FOR A DISTRACTION YOU EEJIT. YOU AREN'T SUPPOSED TO KNOW WE WANTED TO HELP SOMEONE SNEAK OUT OF THE LOO, HOW COULD YOU POSSIBLY KNOW THAT?

[alt_pansy]

I have no idea, Mrs Weasley.

Only it looks like no-one is hurt at all, or anything.

I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good

[alt_ron]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

They didn't see a thing! But they're going on and on. And now it's like some hairy animal man thinger. Next he's going to have great slimey fangs!

I mean, we're totally safe.

Just waiting for them to send us back.

[alt_ron]

It's no problem, Mum. Just. People thought they saw something. That's all.

Not really worth all the fuss.
