Saturday the 14th

See, Gin? We made it through Friday the 13th and nothing bad happened. Nobody got frozen. Nobody got eaten by anything. No mad bludgers came to chase you round the school. Nothing.

You and Bradley and Sandoval can throw out those awful looking necklace things you got. Did you actually buy those?

Who from?

I don't think a bunch of chicken feathers and a couple of beads some third-year made are going to do you any good if a lethifold really does break into Gryffindor and try to smother you. I mean, come on, that thing wouldn't protect you against a mealy worm!

You can laugh, Ronald, but these luck charms and amulets and things are getting quite out of hand.

And while you and Ginny may have escaped unscathed, thank Merlin, one can hardly say the same for poor Peakes, or for Bones. Peakes alone claimed to have been pranked on five different occasions yesterday! (If I didn't know better, I'd suspect Fred and George, but I don't think even they would persecute a fellow Gryffindor.)

Oh, come on. I mean, it's pretty naff, but why d'you care?

And what happened to Peakes and Bones? I didn't hear anything.

[alt_percy]

Yes, well, considering your attitude, it's hardly surprising that no one chose to share confidences with you.

I care because I am a Prefect, Ronald. A Prefect.

A Prefect, Ronald. A Prefect.

Yeah. That, too.
