Private Message to Seamus and Padma

[alt_lavender]

Are you two still getting those knowing sorts of sniggers from people who assume we did the bathroom spells?

Vane and Robins are really getting tiresome about it--"Oh, you know you can tell us! We think it was pretty snitch," and etc.

I mean, Porkinson's well ridiculous, but it's bit annoying that people think we'd be stupid enough to get ourselves into trouble.

And I think it's absolutely hypocritical how the Weasley twins are sort of looming at people and trying to get them to grass. It's not as if they've never made anyone look ridiculous for a prank, after all--look at the Yule Ball! Even if McLaggen did sort of deser

Well, Weasley is acting like he hates me, but he always acts like he hates me, so it's hard to tell if he hates me EXTRA this week because of the bathroom spells.

It wasn't me. I don't know who did it. And that's the honest truth!

[alt_seamus]

And yeah, the Twins, well, what can you do?

Is there anyone it would be fun to see them go after? We could start a rumour it was someone deserving.

Seamus, you're thinking like a Slytherin!

Hm. Bletchley's always deserving of some sort of grief.

Or we could say it was Zabini. Only he hasn't actually done anything too obnoxious lately.

What about Montgomery and Stevens? You know they were the ones who did last year's quiz, and blamed us. I think this is just about their style, don't you? It could even really have been them.

I specifically told Pansy that it wasn't us. And everyone in the Corner knows it wasn't, so it's only idiots like Midgen who keep on insisting that it had to have come from us.

Honestly. I'm really glad it didn't, because for one thing just maybe this means that the Porker will have to take her choices more seriously. I mean, sure, we have to encourage everyone to become patriotic members of the realm but it's clear that some of them will never make good. And once it's clear then it's utterly mad to treat them like they're special and precious.

Besides, she practically asked to have the mick taken. Standing up for Longbum when his parents were big in that DogStar group?

Did you listen to the awards ceremony on the wireless? It was so inspiring. Lana and Auror Crouch and about ten others all getting commended by the Lord Protector and the Minister and Auror Crouch got the Order of Merlin First Class. What an amazing thing! And 3rd Class for Lana, which I'm sure is just the first of dozens she'll earn in her career.
