Pansy's going spare. Madam Pomfrey's keeping us out until she's finished with Miss Professor Carrow, and I don't know if she'll let us in then. I think she will, but Pansy's worried she won't.
Terry's inside, but I think she shooed him into her office when MPC turned up.
Actually, she didn't turn up, she stormed in. And you should've seen the look she gave Pansy.
That's it, isn't it? You don't want to have to stop taking your special private unforgivables lessons with her. 'Cause whoever would take over Dark Arts from her probably wouldn't give you lessons anymore.
You know how I talk sometimes about how useful it is to be a good liar and to KNOW you're a liar? Because if you KNOW you're lying and you can just lie shamelessly then you're less likely to believe your own lies?
I think Percy is the opposite. He can't bear to lie, so he needs to convince himself that everything he says is true, no matter how awful it is. No matter how awful it makes him.
I didnt want to write it out the solemn solemn swear because Id mess it up something awful because my hands are all shakey and i cant spell wortht anything but I HATE HER SO MUCH I JUST CANT EVEN
its all my fault too it just is because if we werent friends she wouldnt have done it and she totally did it on purpose too and lucius already tried to get her out and SHE HURT MY SALLY ANNE
If we were there, we'd charm some bedpans to give you a serenade. You'll just have to settle on our promise to get back at Miss Alecto Carrow to cheer you up.
It doesn't cheer me up. It makes me more worried. She'll guess it's you, unless you come up with someone to take the blame, and I wouldn't wish that on anyone. Or if she doesn't guess it's you she'll think it's Pansy. Or Ron. Or Nev. I just -- I don't want anyone else getting hurt.
You're not giving us credit for being pretty sly at setting up pranks, but we see your point.
This is beyond the prank level, and so we'll make you a promise: we won't try anything without running it by you first. By everyone on the lock, really. You can use that Slytherin twistiness to let us know if there's anything we've failed to take into account. And since it's a risk, we won't do it unless we get everyone's okay. You're right: messing with the Carrows is dead serious, and we want to avoid any fall out, especially for you, Ron, Nev, Hermione and the Professor.
We were pretty sly with the rune last year when we set the lice on Ravenclaw but they certainly suspected who'd done it. Even when things ARE pure bad luck the Carrows want to blame someone for it.
Now if you could work out a way to get them to blame EACH OTHER then perfect. But otherwise they'll blame someone you probably don't hate as much as all that.

You don't want her getting sacked, do you?
Bloody buggers!

Re: I Solemnly Swear that I Am Up to No Good
Date: 2011-02-07 10:40 pm (UTC)I'm okay. Madam Pomfrey won't let me leave yet but at least maybe she'll let everyone in soon?

You're not just saying 'cause you don't want us worrying?
Yeah. That's it, isn't it?
We're going to wait here until she at least lets Pansy in.
