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

[alt_pansy]

But I don't think I'd ever be able to do what I'd need to. Against a boggart, I mean. I was pretty awful at it.

So I guess I should just hope I never run into one ever again. Or if I do, it's with you, so you can just make it into a legless spider.

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

[alt_ron]

What was yours, anyway.

I mean, if you don't want to say, you don't have to, but

It was really horrible, then?

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

[alt_ron]

I mean, I've been thinking about it

boggarts, I mean.

And I think there are sort of two different kinds. There're ones that are really scary--stuff like, y'know, GIANT HAIRY HORRIBLE SPIDERS

er

or mummies or skeletons or evil clowns or manticores, y'know--

and then there're boggarts that are really so horrible the person can't make them funny no matter what they try--like your dead baby brother or yourself gone mad or someone you really like who turns around and they're all of a sudden a vampire or have their eyes gouged out or something else horrible you'd never expect. Those kind of boggarts aren't just dead scary, they make people really sad. Like Parvati. I keep thinking about how she looked

and how she sounded

it was really horrible

I think she had to go to Madam Pomfrey's afterwards.

So, yeah.


I guess yours was one of the second kind?

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

[alt_sally_anne]

Yes. Hers was one of the second kind.

I'd say Bundy's was too, actually. Did she come up with anything?

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

[alt_ron]

Oh, yeah.

Yeah, she did!

She made the Prefect badge open up and poke her cousin and she exploded like a giant balloon and went flying around with the air swooshing out of her.

Everyone laughed.

I don't think anyone likes Gemma Bundy very much. I mean, she is kind of a witch, innit?

Private message to Ron

[alt_sally_anne]

So I actually kind of think you should know what Pansy's was. She doesn't want to talk about it anymore but I don't think she minds you knowing.

It was a dead girl who looked just like her, saying 'it was all your fault' over and over again.

She didn't even try to cast the spell, just stood there until Professor Lestrange got Vince out in front of her.

Re: Private message to Ron

[alt_ron]

Cor--

No wonder she doesn't want to talk about it. So it's about Regulus Black again. That's bad.

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

[alt_pansy]

I couldn't make it funny. Because there is nothing funny about it. At all. Ever.

Ugh.

I just don't want to think about it any more.

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

[alt_ron]

I'm sorry.

We'll think up other things to think about, yeah? Fisheye.
