I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good: Private message to Pansy and Ron

[alt_sally_anne]

Merlin and Morganna, I just realised something.

You know Colin, the boy from the sanctuary who's come to learn apparation with us? (And Defence and ... I think they all get to pick a tutoring group in the afternoon, same as we do.)

He looked SO FAMILIAR and I finally worked out why. Remember Dennis? I think Colin is his brother. I think he must be older but I'm not sure. I mean it's been so long, and I just remember Dennis as being really little. Do you think he KNOWS about his brother? He must, I mean they must have told him, right?

I wonder why the Order rescued Colin, and not Dennis? For that matter why they didn't rescue Hermione, although maybe they didn't start until Dennis's year? Lisa's our year -- I mean, she would be. But they didn't get her as a baby, I guess she's one of the ones they grabbed right after the QWC bombing.

They're really nice, actually. The Longbottoms, I mean.

I almost said something completely daft to Nev, though, earlier.

I almost told him his mum's really nice looking. Which, uh. She totally is. Only, yeah. He wouldn't have wanted to hear that!

But she is!

[alt_sally_anne]

Mrs Longbottom is really pretty.

But yeah I think you're right about saying that to Neville!

[alt_pansy]

Ev really does take after her, doesn't she.

[alt_ron]

Um.

I guess. Yeah. Now you say it.

[alt_pansy]

I wasn't expecting the niceness. Especially not

It's just very weird.

And Mr Longbottom sort of reminds me of Professor Raz.

Mr Lupin looks so much happier than he was last time we saw him, too.

[alt_sally_anne]

Maybe a little? Less bookish, though.

[alt_pansy]

It's really weird to think that Mrs Longbottom fought Professor Raz like that. And hurt him like she did.

Both of them had to have fought Professor Dolohov too.

[alt_sally_anne]

That is really weird to think about.

Did they ever fight

[alt_sally_anne]

The funny thing is that if they weren't on opposite sides I really think Mr and Mrs Longbottom might actually rather LIKE Professor Lestrange.

And Mr Lupin would get along famously with Professor Dolohov. If, you know. They could.

[alt_pansy]

You're right. I bet they would.
