I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good

Ohhhhhhhh Ron....(and Fred and George)....

Did you HEAR about 'Word Has It'? It's a gossip magazine, some of the older girls have it. Everyone was giggling about how Professor Lestrange was The Most Eligible Bachelor (or maybe the second most eligible? I didn't actually get to SEE it yet except over someone else's shoulder) but the hilarious thing is that your brother BILL was on that list too.

Oh wait, I see you're already teasing him in your mum's journal. Well. Carry on.

Also Jeremy Stretton was in the 'boys gone bad' section, along with Orion Sandoval and Moebius Ollivander -- that was part of why I didn't get a good look, Moebius was really cross and cast incendio on it. Cassandra was furious, it was her magazine, she said she's going to tell her sister and she'll fix him.

Have you seen him today? I mean, is he really hacked off they wrote about him?

Or dead embarrassed?

I ran into him after dinner. He said his parents are furious but for all the wrong reasons -- I mean he'd never have been on the 'most eligible' list, you know? Normally. I think they included him because of the others from that scandal, or maybe because they needed to fill up the column. But of course Mrs Stretton says that he WOULD have been on the other list if only he hadn't mucked everything up. She wrote to him by journal today, I don't know if you saw.

Well. At least his mum doesn't send Howlers.

He must feel pretty rotten, though.

[alt_sally_anne]

Oh, she'd NEVER send a Howler. She knows that just attracts more of the wrong sort of attention.

They REALLY don't get on, Stretton and his parents. He says his worst fear is having to work for them after he leaves school. That's what really bothered him about this, I think, he was hoping it would all blow over and people would forget and he could go find a job somewhere, maybe not in quidditch but SOMEWHERE.

[alt_ron]

That reeks.

About his parents, too, but yeah, I think he's going to have a really dire time trying to find a job.
