I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good

Neville and Pansy, did Madam Pomfrey know how to fix it?

Did she ask where you'd learned the spell?

I've already told you, of course, but in case other people want to know, I am not blue any more. I'm sure it will come as a great disappointment to Lee, but he'll have to manage somehow. And Nev, it's okay, I wasn't hurt and it wasn't forever, and lesson learned about those footnotes. It did work really brilliantly before the whole scale thing, which is actually sort of ace. Maybe we could stick to having you read bits of it out loud to us for now? And try actual things out when we know a little more about what we're doing?

When we said it was for Transfig she sort of raised her eyebrow like she didn't figure it was that at all, and then we said that we were practicing for duelling club and she nodded and said "Well, that makes a good deal more sense," but she didn't ask where we learned it from.

Aww. I was really looking forward to seeing how that blue went with Slytherin green at breakfast.

If you think I would so much as mention Nev and experimental spells in the same sentence around Draco, you're mad, and I ought to hang up my Slytherin robes right now and march over to Hufflepuff to see if they'll take me.

One thing's for sure: I'll take care to read any footnotes all the way through next time. And I'm glad that you're willing to give me another chance in the future.

And three cheers for Madam Pomfrey. She really can fix just about everything.

Leave it to you to think it's something like that.

(But, yeah. Ha! Sandoval has a bunch of that coming to her, I'd say.)

Well, I don't want to end up back there again any time soon because of a book we're definitely not supposed to have, yeah?

So we'll have to be extra careful about everything to do with it. Like not doing some of the things in front of other people unless we absolutely have to because it's a matter of life or death so people don't know we know how to do them, and not doing it to show off.

But I know that there's some books that circulate around our House that have all sorts of other things we aren't supposed to know, and so it's not like we're the first ones to do it.

Speaking of which, I might see if I can get my hands on that one sometime. You know, just so we can sort out what all is out there.

Ooooh! Y'know what? It could be awesomely wizard to use that armour spell and the petrificus as one of our strategies! I mean, we were thinking of it as a defence, right? But it could totally be offensive!!

I mean, if we timed it right, we could petrificus-armour-petrificus, and then even if someone tried finite to help our opponent, it wouldn't stop the scaling and that would pretty much put that foe out of the fight! (Hard to use your wand while your hand's scaling up, innit, Fisheye?)

1. Well, if we work on it, we'll get so we could do it straight off.
2. But if we do the spells together like we did last night and not anything that would stop it happening, then it'd work. That's why we're working it out in advance, right? I mean, that's what all this if for, right?
3. We'll tell them the twins made it up, innit?

You always see problems with everything.

3. If the twins actually find it somewhere other than a crazy dangerous book that we can't admit we've seen or heard from, I can see how we might have a really great excuse. But only then.

Sally-Anne's 2. has a point too.

I think we ought to try and sort out how to not scale up and use it on ourselves.

Girls.

Always taking all the fun out of everything. And making exciting stuff seem just like homework.

I just might see if we can borrow it. It depends on who's reading it and whether they owe me a favour. Sally-Anne might be able to get it as she's in Dark Arts right now, too.

I heard Baddock talking about it like it was something sort of secret but not really. Like he was winking while talking, you know? I think Greg's already had his hands on it at least once, and maybe Teddy too. I don't know what it's called, though.

[personal profile] alt_ron 2011-04-21 08:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Um.

Are you sure it's a defence book they were looking at?



Only, it sounds like it could be something else.
alt_pansy: (vaguely amused.)

[personal profile] alt_pansy 2011-04-21 08:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Hah.

Boys.

No, it wasn't one of those books. Teds and Greg wanted it for dark arts.
