I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good

[alt_ron]

Did you hear about what happened to Michael Corner? I think it's true, because he looked really tense today.

I've been thinking about the stuff parents don't tell kids. I wish they wouldn't do that. Keep secrets, I mean, and think they're protecting us when really it means that anytime something can happen where you really needed to know.

Anywiz, I feel sort of awful for Corner. I mean, Patil was already all over him for being soft. And, y'know, for talking to me. What's it going to be like now for him?

Most likely, yeah.

[alt_neville]

Wow. Poor bloke.

[alt_terry]

I suppose. It has to be more of a shock for him since he used to be a bit of a snob about it, too. His blood status, I mean.

[alt_lee]

Yeah. That'll knock him off his pedastal a bit won't it?

[alt_terry]

He may find that his good friends Padma Patil and Lavender Brown and the rest aren't quite as good friends as he thought they were.

[alt_lee]

That'll make my heart bleed for him. Believe me.

[alt_ron]

Well, he's not a bad sort. But, yeah, it'd be kind of what he's got coming if they turn on him. I mean he went pretty much out of his way to show Patil he doesn't really like me.

Though that's not so unusual right now, is it? And he never did anything as awful as Thomas has.

Patil likes Finnigan well enough. As long as Corner acts like he knows his place I doubt she'll go out of her way to make him miserable.

It sounds like he told Patil FIRST. Which was clever.
