I had a very nice birthday

[alt_sally_anne]

My birthday was on Saturday. Last year it was during spring hols and no one was here. This year I got to see all my friends! Pansy gave me chocs, I didn't know she even had any left. And Hydra, sweetie, thank you so much again for the thought, it was really nice of you. You know there are just as many cats in my room as yours though! I will be sure to stop up to pet Tully soon.

And the pudding after dinner on Saturday was lemon cake and that was excellent even if it wasn't just for me.

And now I'm officially a teenager.

Oooh!

We could save Carrow's rats--liberate them! That's what you call it, right? We could, I dunno, get the twins to set off dung bombs outside during one of our lessons, and when he leaves the room, we could nick one of them.

Or!

Maybe there's a Rune for this, too. There must be one for unlocking things. And then they could all escape and he'd never know how they got out, but you could watch for it and grab one when it gets loose.

For Merlin's sake Ron ARE YOU COMPLETELY INSANE?

There probably is a rune that unlocks things but Carrow is just a tiny bit more experienced than Padma Patil at FIGURING THINGS LIKE THAT OUT.

Alright, I found the rune that unlocks things but I can't think of any way that Never mind, it's a bad idea.

Heh.

If you want to do it, I'll totally help. And I bet the twins would, too.

I want to do it but I want to NOT GET KILLED BY CARROW more.

Anyway if one of Carrow's rats went missing he WOULD notice and I expect he'd have the school searched and while I could hide a rat from the Strettons I doubt I could hide it if the school got searched for a missing Carrow rat.

Guess you're right about that.

Oh well.

Or you could just say Pyewacket found him and you've no idea where or how.

Yeah. Probably not.

First of all, that would probably work about as well as trying to convince Patil that the insect invasion was just the result of someone keeping chocs in her trunk.

Second, even if I could convince him I had nothing to do with the rat breakout, once they found the rat they'd take it away from me, and the horrible things that happen to Carrow's rats would be a lot worse if it were a rat I'd kept as a pet.

He has both magical and non-magical rats in that cage in his classroom, I think.

If it happened at the very end of the year, right before we left for the summer...it would still be a bad idea.

I would have sat on him, Sally-Anne, before letting him try something like that. I'm not so sure the twins would have helped, either, really. They like pranks, yeah, but they're not mad enough to cross Professor Carrow for not a particularly good reason.

Re: I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good

[alt_sally_anne]

Yeah, it's one thing to cross Carrow to find out what he'd done with Terry. Rats are a whole different matter.

If we could somehow get Patil to do it never mind, it's still a bad idea.
