I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good

[alt_sally_anne]

This week has mostly been really fun but I didn't like that panto we saw last night at ALL. As IF a muggleborn witch would sing a funny song about her place in the world when they sent her back to the camps. Well maybe Dennis would have. But, she sure didn't act like Dennis for most of the play. Ugh. I guess pantos aren't supposed to be realistic, though, that's what Pansy said. I'd never seen one.

And Neville, I wish you'd been along this week! You are coming next week, aren't you? Not just skipping the whole thing? I'm glad Ron is here this week but I wish you were, too.

Well, you've got to admit the village constables were funny.

And it was dead hilarious when the young witch was pretending she's a mudblood servant so she didn't have her wand. And, of course, she doesn't want to get found out, but she was supposed to make treacle tart for pudding when the old aunty was having that dinner party. And when it turned out she didn't know how to cook at all, so she got everything sticky all over and then the flour went flying when she got so frustrated and her magic went wild and then the feathers came off the chicken and stuck in the treacle and in the end everyone who came into the kitchen got all over feathers except the guy in the chicken suit, who was just a naked chicken and started running mad all over the stage until he ran straight into the villain's sword and his head got chopped off, but that only made him run all the more until he tipped over the big rain barrel right at the audience. I laughed so hard when all that came out were streamers, but those little kids down front jumped out of the skin when they thought they were going to get all wet.

Hilarious!

Honestly, I don't think there's anything funny about somebody being told to do something they don't know how to do.

[alt_hermione]

Or about someone getting their head chopped off.

It wasn't a person, silly. It was a chicken.

That's what happens to chickens before you eat them. And then they run around blind cause they don't have heads anymore or eyes but they don't die right off.

Dennis would have for certain.

I'll be there next week. I don't think my Gran likes the YPL stuff much, but she says I have to go. Especially, well, now, with everything that's happened.

I'm sorry I'll be missing you and Ron, though.

[alt_ron]

Yeah, it's a shame you're not here with this group. I guess maybe 'cause you were going camping your gran didn't want you coming this week? Or did they just tell you you'd be in the second set?

Hey, Perks.

Where've you lot gone off to? Did you go swimming in the Lido?

I'm over with Smith and Harry, playing gobstones with Moon.

And he does cheat, like Oi!

He tried to get us to all turn around by telling us he saw that Snape bloke, but no one fell for it, so then I think he did something with his wand to make Harry sneeze. And when we looked back his stone was rolling right up to the jack stone.

We're all watching him now.
