alt_ronThis is important.
Ginny just sent me a private message to say she heard from the friend that sent her that book and MLE is going around confiscating all the preview copies. They've banned the book.
So I told her I'm not giving it back to her. Only, I just realised. Her message is a PM, and MLE can read those. If they're looking into what she did with her book.
What should I do? I mean, I've been asking her how many people know she gave it to me.
Ugh.
If she's messing about, trying to get me to give her the book back, I'll hex her.

Tell her you burned it.

Date: 2013-12-02 02:30 am (UTC)They might not believe him. Especially because everyone really wants to read it.

Date: 2013-12-02 02:34 am (UTC)If they really did ban it, I'd want to know why. And that means reading it.

Date: 2013-12-02 02:47 am (UTC)Look, Ron can tell Ginny he loaned it to you, and you can say you burned it. And then after MLE's gone we can tell Ginny actually we saved it and she can read it now.

Date: 2013-12-02 02:50 am (UTC)So he loaned it to me, I read it and saw that it had some stuff in it that it shouldn't, and then I decided to burn it on my own? Before Ginny heard from MLE?
I guess that means I have to read part of it in case they ask me what I read that made me want to burn it.
So Ron, maybe you can write me and say, 'Hey, I need that book back,' and I can say, 'It's bad news, mate. I burned it.'
no subject
Date: 2013-12-02 02:52 am (UTC)I'll just tell her I burned it.
no subject
Date: 2013-12-02 02:53 am (UTC)I guess I'll just sort of say it seemed off?
no subject
Date: 2013-12-02 03:01 am (UTC)We don't really have to convince Ginny. She can just send MLE to you.

Date: 2013-12-02 03:16 am (UTC)Only that's sort of a stupid reason because she knows MLE is reading, and she'd want to show loyal in writing.

Date: 2013-12-02 03:25 am (UTC)No?
I mean, I think she's really worked up about this. And scared about MLE. Assuming it's true.
Only, ugh. Maybe she was just playing a game to get me to give her the book back and all this came of it instead. If that's it, she probably wants to apologise to you for being so daft.
Though, I don't think that's it. I mean, I'd totally believe they are banning that book. (And you really should read that last bit. Even though you won't know who any of them are. Or care.)
So. Now we're just waiting for MLE to come banging in? Lovely.

Date: 2013-12-02 03:40 am (UTC)Because you figured you were going to have to show them to Gin when we apologized to her, and you didn't want them getting all over everything in your dormitory until you could give it all back to me.
Or sommat.

Date: 2013-12-02 04:02 am (UTC)I mean given you organised 'let's all talk about the Protectorate and how bad it is' sessions for everyone and she was invited, I doubt she really believes you that you burned it because it seemed 'off.'

Date: 2013-12-02 04:01 am (UTC)Harry, did you give it to Hermione already? Maybe we can share? I don't read quite as fast as she does but I'm close. I'll bring biscuits.
no subject
Date: 2013-12-02 02:35 am (UTC)There's got to be a book around here that's the right size, we could burn that one and hand over the scorched bits and say it was Pure Victory.
Let me go get Hermione.
no subject
Date: 2013-12-02 02:30 am (UTC)Um. Harry, do you have any books you really don't like? Ron how thick is it?
