I don't even want to talk about it.

Seriously.

Fair enough, tuna brain.

Want to go for a walk later?

[alt_ron]

Yeah.

How about during lunch.

[alt_pansy]

I'll see you in a few.

[alt_neville]

Well, I'm glad you're not in detention for trying to thump on Seamus. So that's something.

[alt_neville]

And, um. You're clean.

[alt_ron]

Nice.

[alt_sally_anne]

The story that I heard at breakfast is probably better than the reality, anyway.

I'm sure your sister MEANT well.

[alt_gredforge]

No, it wasn't. Trust us, reality exceeded our wildest imagination.

And given our imagination, that's saying a lot!

[alt_ron]

Oh, ha. ha.

Ron. That tape measure looked downright amorous, mate.

(Next time don't yell, and then maybe people won't come running.)

Re: I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up to No Good

[alt_gredforge]

Well, at least there's something that wants to wrap itself lovingly around our ickle Ronnikins.

Re: I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up to No Good

[alt_sally_anne]

Do you two EVER stop?

Re: I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up to No Good

[alt_gredforge]

Why should we, with our own precious Ronnikinns there to provide us with such an endless supply of merriment?

Re: I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up to No Good

[alt_terry]

This is downright puzzling to read. What happened, exactly?

Re: I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up to No Good

[alt_lee]

Well, guess Ron didn't much care for the dress robes his mum sent him for the Yule Ball.

Re: I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up to No Good

[alt_gredforge]

Can't blame, him, to tell the truth. We love her, but it was sort of a lapse of taste on our dear old Mum's part.

Re: I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up to No Good

[alt_lee]

Yeah. So from what I hear, his sister Ginny gave him a tape measure to take his measurements while he was in the bath.

And it got sort of...overexcited. He came flying out of the tub area covered in soap suds, yelling, with the tape flying after him, trying to measure all the pertinent bits.

Re: I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up to No Good

[alt_terry]

I just had to stuff my journal under my pallet, quick, and shove my face into my pillow, because I was laughing so hard.

Sorry, Ron. But thanks for the laugh.

Re: I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up to No Good

[alt_ron]

Yeah. Glad I could help.

No, really.

According to the gossip at the Slytherin breakfast table, someone transfigured a snake into a tape measure and sent it after Ron as a prank while he was in the bath and he came out screaming and stark naked because the thing was trying to crawl -- um.

Then I heard from Lavender Brown it wasn't actually a transfigured snake, just a tailor's tape measure, and Ginevra gave it to him but didn't warn him about ALL the measurements it might try to get. Lav thought Ginevra might have done it on purpose to be cruel, I think she just didn't think about it.

And, right, this is all because we're ALL supposed to have dress robes for the Yule Ball in December. Mrs Weasley sent Ron some she found used and they're horrid, really horrid (I only caught a glimpse of them but the descriptions I've heard involved lavender lace and also they were the sort of thing that might have been fashionable in 1938? I'm not even sure.)

Ron, you know you could also go talk to Professor Sinistra if you don't want robes from your sister, she doesn't JUST mean half-bloods with stingy foster families can come for help with a decent set of dress robes.

Re: I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up to No Good

[alt_ron]

Yeah.

I don't know.

I mean, everyone's just going mad over this whole Ball thing. I don't see the point, really.

Re: I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up to No Good

[alt_sally_anne]

It's an excuse to go off and spend time with a girl you like (if you're a boy) or a boy you like (if you're a girl).

Re: I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up to No Good

[alt_sally_anne]

WHY am I not surprised that you are TOTALLY BAFFLED by this idea, Ron Weasley?

It's just lucky for the school not every boy is as late a bloomer as some.

Re: I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up to No Good

[alt_ron]

Wot?

Don't tell me you want to go?

Re: I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up to No Good

[alt_sally_anne]

Of course I'm going!

Re: I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up to No Good

[alt_ron]

Well, that's optimistic.

How do you know-

You didn't ask someone did you?

Re: I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up to No Good

[alt_sally_anne]

Oh...!

NO, I didn't ask ANYONE.

I GOT ASKED.

And I said yes.

Re: I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up to No Good

[alt_ron]

Oi!

Re: I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up to No Good

[alt_sally_anne]

So it really was a tape measure? I sort of wondered after I heard the story if it was actually some sort of cursed object?

Re: I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up to No Good

[alt_ron]

Well. With Gin, I guess it could've been.

I think she's always fancied my room, so she might be trying to kill me.

Re: I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up to No Good

[alt_sally_anne]

DEATH BY CURSED TAPE MEASURE.

Re: I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up to No Good

[alt_terry]

Somebody should sic it on the git's sister. Maybe it'll strangle her.

Re: I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up to No Good

[alt_sally_anne]

We'd want to curse it properly first. I am confident that a tailor's tape measure would not ACTUALLY throttle a customer even if it might humiliate him utterly in front of his dorm mates.

Fred and George, you ever made a cursed object?

Re: I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up to No Good

[alt_ron]

Er.

I think if Miss P C turns up dead with a tailor's tape round her throat now, it wouldn't go real well for me.

Just sayin.

Re: I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up to No Good

[alt_sally_anne]

Good point!

We'd at least have to get another one so everyone knew it wasn't yours that killed her!
