I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good

Sally Anne, Pansy, Nev.

(Good thing I don't have to use private messages to talk to you lot since there's three of you. I heard Jones got well cheesed at Bones--heh, that rhymes!--'cause Bones sent her a PM she couldn't read 'cause she was third on the list. I bet that happens all the time, people forgetting you can't have more than two.)

Anywiz. Last night some of us were messing about and came up with a game you play with switching spells that turned out to be a real laugh! You need to get a bunch of stuff together--like we had Bundy's bunny slippers and Towler's omnioculars and my wrist sheath and a load of other things--nobbly rubber balls and some ribbons and a bell and just a load of stuff--and then you take one thing and swap something on it with something on one of the others, and then you pass it to the next person and they have to swap something on it with something from one of their things and then you pass it on. It gets really mad!

It's a bit complicated putting it all right at the end, of course. I think Towler's omnioculars have still got bunny ears.

Anywiz, I was thinking you might want to play. (It'd be great with jam!!!!)

And Nev, you should totally try it. You were hiding out last night so we wouldn't ask, weren't you?

Hang on, though. I mean, if it was Avada Kedavra--

You really think Nott can do that? I mean, I've heard stuff about his father and all, but that's really advanced, and they've only just started Dark Arts.

I mean, Sally Anne. What do you think? D'you think Nott can do Avada Kedavra and make it work?

I think it'd have to've been a teacher. An adult, anyway. I mean, maybe a 7th year. I've never heard of anyone using that spell while they're still in school. Have you?

Actually if it was actually Aveda Kedavra I don't think it was Teddy. He would have

well

he might have used magic but it would've been something bloodier, or at least not as clean as AK. I don't know how much detail you want me to go into here considering the circumstances. What I'm trying to say is that I would expect Teddy to kill Evelyn's cat some other way.

I don't think anyone in our year can do AK yet and have it work. MAYBE Greg can, because although he's completely in the dark at anything at all about theory (or ethics or COMMON BLOODY SENSE) he is really good at the spells. But I'd be surprised if he could actually do AK.

It wouldn't have to be a teacher though. There ARE older students who can do it. And if anyone in our year CAN manage it, it would be Greg.

Here's the other thing though, how closely did you look at the cat? I mean there are other spells that can kill that won't leave a mark that's easy to see.

I wouldn't know how to tell what sort of spell it was, and anyway, I didn't see him before she took him out and buried him.

Well, I don't think either Teddy or Greg would've been able to get into Gryffindor House, any more than you could walk into Slytherin.

So there must have been a Gryffindor involved, which is just awful.
