I'm sure my hair looks a fright!

[alt_lavender]

I couldn't get near the mirrors in the loo by the Great Hall, because all the older girls were using them.

But we're all safe from those Horrid men and that's what really matters!

I was certainly glad not not to be up in Gryffindor Tower, especially since Prof MacNair knows it inside and out.

I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good

[alt_sally_anne]

I'm surprised she doesn't have a mirror with her at ALL TIMES for precisely this sort of situation.

[alt_ron]

Hahahahahaha!

Yeah, totally.

[alt_ron]

Huh.

I don't see you look any different today than ever, Lav.

Not any more frightening than usual.

[alt_daphne]

It's terribly helpful of you to offer your input, Weasley, seeing as how you're so very well-acquainted with what "frightening" looks like.

[alt_lavender]

Really!

[alt_ron]

Well. There are some of you who really do look a fright a lot of the time. I mean, I wouldn't have pointed it out if you and Brown hadn't already.

Personally, I'm surprised your mirror hasn't run off so it wouldn't have to look at you any more. Although, honestly, if you share with Bulstrode, it's a wonder it hasn't shattered. Or maybe you've got really good at Reparo?

[alt_blaise]

I've seen your mum, Weasley. I guess it's no surprise you wouldn't know a good-looking witch when you see one.

[alt_ron]

Does Greengrass need you jumping in to take up for her?

And you can leave my mum right out of it.

[alt_draco]

You defend your friends, he defends his. If you don't like it, then you might want to consider keeping your bloody big-gobbed quill to yourself when your own housemate makes a completely innocent comment about her hair.

[alt_daphne]

And who are this "you" that you refer to? Girls? I had no idea that you were so put off by the majority of the opposite sex, Weasley. How fascinating. You know what they say: he who points out the flaws in others is only trying to detract everyone from seeing his own.

[alt_ron]

Who said anything about the majority? It's really just 3 or 4 like you.

And you know what they say: she who talks like she's got her nose in the air will end up snorting owl poo.

[alt_daphne]

And what have I got my nose in the air about, exactly? There's nothing wrong with taking an interest in ones appearance. I don't see how it's hurting you, anyway.

[alt_padma]

He could do with a look in the mirror once in a while, as well.

[alt_ron]

Anywiz, it's not like Macnair knows the passwords now. So I don't really see why we couldn't've slept up in the tower. But, whatev. I guess this way they could count us all and make sure nobody was missing.

[alt_lavender]

He was our Head of House--do you want to bet your Knuts that he doesn't know any secret ways into the tower?

I certainly wouldn't!

[alt_daphne]

I heard some talk in the corridors, and I don't think Macnair was with Snape when he broke in, so you should be safe enough. Snape made it all the way down to our dungeons, though, and I think he left a truly unpleasant stench behind as a parting gift. Ugh! It smells like something wet and possibly dead or dying.

[alt_lavender]

That sounds positively horrid!

You know that nift perfuming charm, right? This sounds like it would be a good time to practise.

GHave any of the teachers said anything official in your lessons? Ours have been fairly tight-lipped.

[alt_daphne]

They didn't have much to say beyond what the prefects already told us. I suppose they'll be leaving that to the headmistress, though.

I would try out the charm, but it seems that the Snape-smell is gone and now there's just ordinary dungeon-smell (the perfume charm doesn't work on that - lots of the older girls have tried!)
