I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good

[alt_sally_anne]

Should we tell the galleon people about the secret room?

It would be a good place to meet on Sunday. Assuming we could get in. Or -- do Harry and Draco already know about it?

No, they don't know. At least, I haven't told them about it.

I guess we could do. I don't think it should come from me. Maybe Pansy should tell Draco that she found a good place and explain it to them.

[alt_sally_anne]

Maybe it should be me. If Pansy tells Draco he might want to know why she never told him before.

Do you mind them knowing, though? I mean we could probably arrange with Siz to meet in the Astronomy Tower. Although she looked utterly horrible on Wednesday night. I think she hates Umbridge even more than at least as much as we do. Anyway I'm a little hesitant to do anything that could get her in trouble if it's found out. The nice thing about the secret room is that we don't have to ask ANY of the trustworthy or nice adults for permission, we can just go there.

Would Professor Raz have to come along with Harry? I mean, that could either be good or it could get us all in loads worse trouble if Umbridge finds out. But he could actually teach us if he came along. If we were in the secret room, I mean, because no one else could walk in and actually catch him doing it, right?

I really don't think he should know about the secret room.

If he IS coming I think we should try to do it in the Astronomy Tower -- it's not as if he doesn't get on with Professor Siz, right? He has an excuse to be there.

Hello, Ron,

I don't think we should involve Professor Raz. He's already in some kind of trouble or he'd still be teaching properly, what?

I think whatever we bally well can do, we ought to do it without involving any of the teaching staff. Or Madam Pomfrey or anyone, what. If she's got rid of Professor McGonagall and Professor Raz (even only temporarily), she can get rid of any of them.

All of which is to say that I think we ought to use the secret room, as well.

Right. I mean, I think that's probably best.

Only, if Harry comes, would he have to come along, too? That's why I asked. If so, we can't really do it there.

[alt_hermione]

He doesn't have to go everywhere Harry goes. Only places they don't already know are safe.

Sally-Anne,

Yes, I think we should do, but whomever does should make it sound as if it's something he or she has only just discovered, what?

And as I said to Ron, I don't think we ought to involve any of the teachers, at all. Not even the ones who are teaching Occlumency.

Okay. I'm going to try to find Harry before dinner. Or after, if need be.

If he doesn't think he's bringing Raz, I'll tell him I've found a place, and show him where it is.

I do hate giving it up to more than just us, but

yeah, I really think it's best. This should be a lot safer than trying to meet in a classroom (and it turns out Professor Siz went somewhere for the weekend and the whole Astronomy Tower's warded, I went to check and ... yeah.)

I agree. Let the galleon group use the secret room, but don't include any teachers. And yes, we should try to make it sound like the room's just been found.
