I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good

[alt_ron]

Too bad you missed out. I mean, I reckon we know what it would've been for you--and I'd've liked to see you Riddikulus him.

Did you see what Carrow's saying in his journal? About plucking peacock chicks?

THAT'S him talking about Draco. Do you have any idea what he'd do to Neville for making him ridiculous?

Maybe you missed it, but Neville told me his boggart isn't Master.

Blimey, if it's something that scares him more than Master, he must be terrified of it. Don't blame him for skipping the lesson.

That's--

It's--

Look, that's not why I skipped it.

Oh?

It's that I can't let other people see it.

That would be a disaster.

Private Message to Sally-Anne

[alt_pansy]

He's been calming down and I might actually have gotten through a bit with him about how serious all this is. I know you're still rubbed raw, but could you back off for just a little and give him some room?

Re: Private Message to Sally-Anne

[alt_sally_anne]

I wasn't

I didn't mean

Fine.

Re: Private Message to Sally-Anne

[alt_pansy]

I mean, point taken, totally.

But he won't listen if he thinks it's just you being critical.

Which is silly, because everything you've said about what he's done or might do has been perfectly reasonable, but this is Ron we're talking about. You know?

Re: Private Message to Sally-Anne

[alt_sally_anne]

All I was trying to say REALLY was that it was a good idea that Neville didn't go, if his boggart would've turned into Carrow and he'd made him funny, because of how angry Carrow was at Draco and he ALREADY hates Neville.

I wasn't trying to

Oh never mind.

Neville says Carrow isn't his boggart, anyway. He'd see something else. I bet it's someone he's not supposed to have ever seen, where it would be suspicious if they turned up. Though he could always say he'd seen pictures.

Re: Private Message to Sally-Anne

[alt_pansy]

Oh! I hadn't thought of that. Like his mum and dad, you mean?

Do you really think he's seen them before?

Huh.

And I know you weren't, it's just you never know what he'll get stroppy about sometimes, and I'd just got him un-stroppy. But he seems fine so it's probably just me over-thinking everything.

Re: Private Message to Sally-Anne

[alt_sally_anne]

The first thing that occurred to me is that his boggart would be his mum dying -- he's supposed to WANT that, not fear it, so.

Especially in front of Professor Lestrange, that would be bad. Even if he only knows his mum from the wanted posters.

Re: Private Message to Sally-Anne

[alt_pansy]

Well, that would get him into trouble, I guess.

And even if he'd only ever seen her in wanted posters, people might think otherwise.
