I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good

[alt_sally_anne]

Hermione this message is for you. If you have ANY WAY of getting back in touch with the people who gave you the wands --

In the loo to the west of the statue of the Lord Protector Pansy and I ran into a woman, she was crying and clearly in all sorts of trouble, Pansy assumed she was just some witch having trouble with a man but I am 99% sure she is a muggleborn, it's just, she was SO SCARED and desperate enough to ask her to help her. And she's a grownup, it just doesn't make sense otherwise.

She told us that she was pregnant and on the run from the father because he's a powerful wizard who's angry at her and she was terrified of being found, that's why I asked for a distraction.

Only now MLE's coming, if there's ANY way they (I mean the people who gave you wands) can help her, well, they wouldn't be able to without knowing she was there and I can't think of any way to let them know unless you have a way. You don't have to tell me if you do or don't.

And Pansy had the right idea, just tell everyone the loo's horrid!

I wouldn't have even talked to her. The woman, I mean, I'd have just left her to herself, but Pansy asked her if she was alright and then the woman asked us to help her.

I will!!

I'm in ever so much trouble now. They want to know how I knew. What do I tell them??

[alt_sally_anne]

What is it they want to know?

Don't tell them our names, Hermione, you don't have to tell them that do you?

[alt_sally_anne]

Not that I'm in much of a position to complain WHAT you tell them about me.

I've really made a perfect mess of things today, haven't I.

[alt_hermione]

No, it's all right.

I just want to tell them that we've found a way round the journals, but not how it is. Because they wanted to know how I knew and how I could get messages from people. I won't tell anyone your names, of course I wouldn't!!

[alt_sally_anne]

Hermione I don't think anyone else is reading this far back.

I think you'd best ask again, and also people want to know what you think about telling Pansy.

I'm alright with you telling your other friends whatever you want but names, but I don't feel I'm the one who has the right to decide here anyway.

I wish I'd never gone to the bloody loo.

If they're the people who got us our wands, we already know we can trust them. I reckon they have more secrets to keep than we do.

I suppose...none of THEM are kids, are they? Because you could tell them you have a way, but it only works for kids, maybe. So maybe then they won't pressure you to reveal how the lock works.

If they believe you, that is. You know them better than we do.

Perks is right, better if you don't give them anyone's names.

I'm sorry, Hermione. I guess I was so glad to get my wand, I didn't even think about how hard it must be for you, if you're keeping secrets for them, too. Blimey, it must have driven you mad trying to keep everything straight!

Um.

I don't think Hermione should tell them it's a journal spell. Because then they'll start thinking who could have designed it... and she seems to know... and I think that narrows down to the twins and just a really small number of other students pretty fast, don't you?

And then if they get arrested, then they know our secrets. And who some of us are.

And if they're doing stuff like smuggling wands and giving them to Muggleborn people, then...

then don't you think they're doing stuff that risks getting arrested all the time, and even if they're careful...

No.

I don't like the idea of Hermione telling them about us. I mean you haven't told us about them, really. Just that some people got you wands.

I mean. Who are they to want to know about us?

No.

I don't like it at all.

And look, I can't write any more 'cause we're at the closing feast now and I've just gone to the loo cause Sally Anne said I should look at what you've all been saying here, so can we just wait and talk more about it tomorrow, please?

Don't tell them anything yet, Hermione. I mean it.
