I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good

[alt_ron]

Nev,

Where are you, mate? They sent Towler off to look for you, but I think he was off to the Greenhouses, and maybe you aren't there?

Are you all right?

Okay, that's dumb. You're not all right. But come back, yeah? We're waiting here in the common room, and we won't make you talk or anything, but

we'd just feel better about it if you were here.

I'm here in the greenhouses. Heard Towler calling for me and just ducked out of sight.

Sorry, but I'm just not ready to come back. I don't care if Professor Hooch gives me detention till doomsday.

I'll stay here and repot some stuff for awhile. But I'll probably come back to sleep. Don't want to be here when it's dark.

[alt_ron]

Yeah.

I'm coming out there with you.

Twins are going to distract Hooch. And she can just give us both detention if she wants.

Make room on the potting bench for me, yeah?

[alt_neville]

All right.

Thanks.

[alt_terry]

I'm so sorry, Neville. For what it's worth.

It's not like...it's not like she was my girlfriend or anything. I don't have any clue she thought of me that way at all.

But maybe she was. And anyway, I was starting to hope. It might have...it might have worked out that way, you know? If we'd had time.

[alt_terry]

I know just what you mean.

Percy just got back to the Common Room, Ron. He went right upstairs to his room, and his roommates said he's in his bed with the curtains drawn. He didn't say anything to anybody. No one's said anything to him.

Good thing, cause we would have broken the face of anybody who tried.

I feel so helpless.

She sat down and ate lunch, and half an hour later, she was dead.

And all that practicing we've been doing? I don't think it would've helped at all.

[alt_terry]

Probably not. Not against him. He even took out Professor Lestrange, who's here as the Lord Protector's son's bodyguard.

I hope I never have to see him again as long as I live.

[alt_pansy]

me too.

[alt_sally_anne]

I still just can't believe it.

Neville, I'm so sorry.
