I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good

Well

I hope the Order is planning on giving me some Potions tutoring in addition to the Apparation lessons.

The Headmistress caught me giving Stephen Capper his tea (which is just TISANE, mind you, not anything I'm not supposed to have, though I was trying to get him to think it was a sleeping potion -- so much for THAT) and now she's forbidden me to make potions EVEN IN POTIONS CLASS.

I assume I'm still allowed to make them WHILE I'M TAKING MY OWL EXAM but I didn't ask because I didn't want to give her any ideas.

AND she told Capper that his brother died in the camps, after they snapped his wand and sent him there (because he wasn't nervous enough! I mean I HAVE BEEN MAKING HIM THESE TEAS BECAUSE HE CAN'T SLEEP FOR WORRYING ABOUT THAT HAPPENING TO HIM) and I'm hoping that really means the Order got him out, since they faked my mum's death maybe they also faked Thomas Capper's?

Blimey. That's just--

All right. First of all, you are going to pass your O.W.L.s. And so is Capper. We'll make sure of it.

I'm willing to take whatever potions ingredients that're needed for whatever potions we work on in class, every time. If all of us nick just a little, we can keep you supplied. And you can brew, in the hidden room. I'm sure Fred and George or Lee would help you. Lee especially. He's really good at potions. Wait...

All right, I just spoke to him, here in the Gryffindor Common Room. He said yeah, he'll do whatever he can to help you.

We'll figure this out. She is not going to beat you on this!

And what a filthy thing to do to Capper, to fling it at him about his brother like that. He didn't know?

Come to think of it...that's exactly what she did to the Weasleys, isn't it? About their Dad?

We've got to think of a way to help him, too.

That's a good idea about nicking the potions ingredients. Sally-Anne, if you get us a list of ingredients you need, I can see what I can pocket during my lessons too.

ugh ugh ugh I don't want the rest of you getting in trouble, too.

It's not as if she won't guess it's why you wanted them, if she catches you nicking them, and she pretty much popped out of NOWHERE today when I was giving Stephen his tisane.
