I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good

Whoa! I just missed having my head taken off by Vaisey up the Charms corridor!

Anyone know why he and Capper are getting into it with McLaggen? Capper's got cauliflower ears and McLaggen's nose is bleeding like anything. I don't want to get anyone in trouble, but it looked pretty serious.

Does anyone NEED a reason to get into it with McLaggen? It's like getting into it with Blaise, he's always done SOMETHING.
alt_sally_anne: (I'm sure it seems that way to you.)

[personal profile] alt_sally_anne 2010-11-20 03:06 am (UTC)(link)
I did. It's a bit creepy thinking of Corner looking through the walls into the girls' loo or something but Blaise only cared enough to make a fuss because Corner's a half-blood.

And I can't decide whether Corner thinks he's better than everyone, or better than the people who aren't Ravenclaws, or better than people in fostering or from dubious families, or ... what. I mean he's a snob but he's not a CONSISTENT snob. Blaise is very consistent. He think he's better than everyone except Harry, Draco, and Teddy, and I think secretly he thinks he's better than Harry. And it's not as if he thinks Draco or Teddy are better than he is, it's more that he considers them equals.

Yeah, I don't know about Corner. He might be one of those people who likes to always have someone to look down at.

Though to be fair he's been better lately. I mean, since he found out about his parents. Though sometimes I think he acts like he thinks a half-blood is SUPPOSED to act and that's just as annoying (in a different way).

Well, he's not, honestly. Patil is rubbing off on him, I'd bet.

Though come to think of it I heard people talking today about McLaggen's brother, how he got kicked out of the Auror programme. Maybe that's what it's about? Apparently his family tried to put it about he quit on his own but Sandoval said he got the boot in her diary. Not that I think she's exactly reliable.

[personal profile] alt_sally_anne 2010-11-20 03:11 am (UTC)(link)
Well I went and checked and in Sandoval's entry (which I don't blame you for not reading, she's worse than Blaise) she said he was 'given the boot' which certainly doesn't SOUND like he quit on his own for some excellent job.

I heard from Belinda that Padma's acting like she knows what McLaggen did and it was something horrible. The theory I heard (from Morag, I'm not sure if she heard it from Padma or from someone else or if she just made it up) was that McLaggen was overheard having an argument about Sirius Black where it sounded like he thought maybe Black was actually alive.

They wouldn't have kicked him off for that, would they?

I mean, I guess if he was indiscreet...

Do you think

Well, I mean it's not like they've found anything.

[personal profile] alt_sally_anne 2010-11-20 03:29 am (UTC)(link)
Do you remember how cross Mrs Lestrange was with Luna? All she said was she'd heard a rumour that Sirius Black was alive. If they thought McLaggen had said something that gave those rumours credit, they'd have kicked him out for that.

I also heard a rumour about him snogging the wrong girl, though, maybe that was it?

[personal profile] alt_pansy 2010-11-20 03:36 am (UTC)(link)
It's more likely it'd be about Black than snogging.

Maybe Auror Lestrange got angry, because it reflects badly on her.

And making her angry? Well, he deserves what he got.

True enough.

The way she treats her own daughter, I don't know why anyone in their right mind wants to work with her. You can go work at the Ministry and have all sorts of power and it doesn't HAVE to be in MLE.

I wouldn't want to work for Barty Crouch either. He's just as bad.
alt_sally_anne: (I'm sure it seems that way to you.)

[personal profile] alt_sally_anne 2010-11-20 03:59 am (UTC)(link)
Well, he is a grownup. Your mum can't hex Bill and Charlie if they cross her, can they? Not that they'd ever talk to her like that.
alt_sally_anne: (Default)

[personal profile] alt_sally_anne 2010-11-20 03:32 am (UTC)(link)
That's a good point but the rumour I heard wasn't so much that he was saying 'Black's alive!' but more that he was treating the possibility as ... well, I don't know.

I agree it makes you wonder.
alt_pansy: (Default)

[personal profile] alt_pansy 2010-11-20 03:37 am (UTC)(link)
as well what?
alt_sally_anne: (Default)

[personal profile] alt_sally_anne 2010-11-20 03:41 am (UTC)(link)
More that he was taking it too seriously. Like treating someone else's statements about Black as a point that two people might argue about. Rather than either too absurd for words, or evidence of disloyalty.

[personal profile] alt_pansy 2010-11-20 04:00 am (UTC)(link)
Do you think he's really dead?
alt_pansy: (Default)

[personal profile] alt_pansy 2010-11-20 04:00 am (UTC)(link)
Because I sure don't.
alt_sally_anne: (lumos)

[personal profile] alt_sally_anne 2010-11-20 04:03 am (UTC)(link)
No.

I don't either.

But sometimes I wonder if it's just wishful thinking. I mean he hasn't SAID anything. But maybe he just lost his journal.
alt_sally_anne: (my pet rat)

[personal profile] alt_sally_anne 2010-11-20 03:12 am (UTC)(link)
In that same entry Sandoval mostly went on and on and ON about how some! lucky! people! would be invited to join the St Mungo's Junior Auxiliary for LUNCHEON.

Did they invite Percy? I think usually they do invite the Head Boy and Head Girl so if they didn't it would have been quite a snub.
alt_sally_anne: (my friends make me smile)

[personal profile] alt_sally_anne 2010-11-20 03:21 am (UTC)(link)
Percy looked smug?

How on EARTH could you tell the difference between that an his normal expression?
