I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good

[alt_ron]

So we're meeting up tomorrow evening, right? I mean the best thing about this play being done is that we've got more time for working on defence stuff.

Nev. You'll bring the books, then? Or are you too worried about carrying them around the corridors? Can you remember that spell and then just teach it to us? The next one you said we should work on.

Oh, and Pans. You're not starting back up with History club, are you? I mean, that was Wednesdays, wasn't it? But. It's almost the end of the year and all. And we'd said tomorrow for this meeting, right? Since we've all got all that time before Astronomy to do homework or whatever, anyway.

Let us know, yeah?

I think we can come but tomorrow is Teddy Nott's birthday and Zabini organised a party in the common room. I THINK it's in the afternoon, before dinner. Pansy and I really should go, at least for a bit. Anyway, if it's in the evening I don't know if we'll be able to meet you tomorrow night. (I mean I don't think we have to stay at Teddy's party for all that LONG but if we don't go it'll be seen as a snub and that will just make things difficult.)

[alt_pansy]

Yeah, we'll try and be there. I really want to see those books Nev brought, they sound absolutely ace.

Teddy isn't a good friend, but Blaise will give us a bit of a headache if we don't show for a bit. So we can check with him when it is.

And if we make him a card, we might be able to leave earlier.

[alt_pansy]

Make Teddy a card, I mean. Not Blaise.

[alt_sally_anne]

I made him a bookmark, do you suppose that'll be good enough?

[alt_pansy]

That should do, yeah.

I've been trying to come up with a poem I can put in a card, but everything I come up with so far isn't very flattering.

[alt_ron]

Oh, you should totally make it all about dead stuff. ('Hope your next year is full of vivisected Nifflers and Jarveys. luv, pans')

And I bet Nott would think it was great.

[alt_sally_anne]

That's an excellent idea. You want to write it for us?

[alt_neville]

I've got a charm on my bookbag so I'm the only one who can open it, so yeah, I'll bring the books. The books are also fixed so I'm the only one who can read them, and the covers look like they're simple textbooks.

There are a few spells I'm really looking forward to trying, that don't look too hard, and I figure I can read that bit to you so we can all learn them together.

[alt_gredforge]

That spell on your bookbag and the books--seriously? That sounds like pretty advanced charm work. Didn't know you had it in you, Neville.

[alt_neville]

Oh, um, my Gran did it for me, when I told her I wanted to take my parents' books to school. She didn't want it generally known that I had anything that belonged to them, and we both thought there might be Slytherins who wouldn't mind messing with my bookbag if they got the chance. (No offence, Sally-Anne and Pansy, honest. But you know it's true.)

[alt_sally_anne]

None taken. The charm's a good idea.

[alt_ron]

Yeah. We should all have one done on our stuff.

I mean, if Patil'd had that sort of charm on her bag, she'd never have got lice, would she?

[alt_ron]

D'you think you could figure out how to do a charm like that?

I mean, it would be dead useful. Would make me feel loads better about sleeping in the same room with those two gits, if I knew they couldn't ever get into my stuff again like Finnigan did last year.

[alt_sally_anne]

I know some charms that at least make it obvious if someone touched your stuff but they have to be re-cast every day. Making it a permanent charm is a whole lot harder, like NEWT level usually.

Well except for permanent sticking charms. Those are sometimes easier to put on than take off.

[alt_sally_anne]

Okay I checked and the party's in late afternoon and it sounds like we might be having dinner in the common room instead of the dining hall, I'm not sure. But we'll be done after dinner so meeting in the evening should work fine.

[alt_ron]

Good.

'Cause obviously we don't want any of them, Nott or Zabini, especially, or Malfoy, knowing you're off to meet up with us.
