I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good: private message to Pansy Parkinson and Fred Weasley

Fred, this is mostly an experiment. Since you two share a journal I'm wondering if you can both see this? or just Fred?

I'm the only one who can see the message itself, although George (and Lee, and presumably everyone on the lock) can see the heading.

(You do realise, however, that I immediately read the message out loud to George. George can't write a reply on this post, however. We tried that, too.)

Oooo. We think we get it. Someone's been taking unwelcome liberties, have they?

An elegant solution. Worthy of House Slytherin. We approve.

Hmm. It's gonna take some research. (Not that kind. Get your mind out of the gutter, Perks.)

How long do you want it to last?

It occurs to us, that if you felt confident enough, and frankly, were handy enough (sorry, couldn't resist the joke) you could cast it, and when he discovers it, inform him that it's something that's gonna stay that way until you remove it. And you're not gonna do that until he REALLY grovels in apology. We'd only advise that if you're willing to risk whatever he might do in retaliation. And frankly, come to think of it, the level of magic needed for that would be rather beyond your level. Not quite N.E.W.T. level charms, but close.

So maybe something simpler would be better. Something you could cast surreptitiously, and he wouldn't discover the effects until he's alone in his own bed with the silencing spell up and the curtains closed.

And it would wear off in, say, three days to a week, during which time you could drop little hints. Subtle-like. I'm sure you get the idea; you Syltherins do subtle better than we do, maybe. Sound good?

(And trust us, for a teenage boy, three days to a week under that type of spell would seem like a lifetime.)

Thanks for saying you'll help.

And tell George we say thanks too.
