Oi Ravenclaws

[alt_seamus]

Did you lot really make a pact not to tell anyone what your boggarts were? Or boggart really, I assume there was just one for all of you, same as with us.

You're too clever by half, you are.

Oi, Finnigan!

[alt_ron]

So, your boggart. That was meant to be a muggle?

Or a really short troll?

Re: Oi, Finnigan!

[alt_seamus]

What's it to you, Weasley?

Re: Oi, Finnigan!

[alt_ron]

Just wanted to know why you were so scared of it.

Looked more stupid and filthy than scary to me. I mean, what was it going to do with that tin of--what were they, peas?--throw it at you?

I mean, I admit, it was pretty funny when you turned it into a cream pie and had the thing squash it into his own face.

Re: Oi, Finnigan!

[alt_seamus]

It was holding a bomb, not a tin of peas. Bombs blow up. They can kill a lot of people at once. Even wizards.

Even a filthy, stupid muggle can murder hundreds of people at once with a big enough bomb.

Re: Oi, Finnigan!

[alt_ron]

Wouldn't you just petrificus 'em? Before they make the thing explode? Or transfigure all the bombs into cream pies?

Seems sorta daft for wizards to be scared of that.

Re: Oi, Finnigan!

[alt_seamus]

Coming from someone who's screamed like a giddy girl over a spider on a window ledge, that's pretty funny.

Even a muggle can hide, or sneak up on you. And there are a LOT of muggles in Ireland and we haven't been able to catch them all to put them in camps. You might be killing the one you see with a bomb, but there's another behind you.

Re: Oi, Finnigan!

[alt_ron]

How hard are you trying?

We have loads more of them here and they didn't have any trouble putting them in camps. Maybe some of your wizards aren't trying very hard? Or you're not very good wizards.

Re: Oi, Finnigan!

[alt_seamus]

Yeah, you have loads more of them here. ASLEEP. We've got no sleepers in Ireland; they're ALL awake.

Makes things a bit different, innit?

Re: Oi, Finnigan!

[alt_ron]

Why'nt you put them to sleep, then?

Re: Oi, Finnigan!

[alt_seamus]

We did.

It didn't work everywhere in England, you know. If a muggle had a wizard neighbor, for instance, it didn't work. If they had something magical in their house, which some muggles do, it didn't work, and there were lots of other things that could make it go wrong, which is WHY there are CAMPS instead of just lots of sleeping muggles plus the ones we need in service.

It didn't work in Ireland AT ALL.

So there are loads of muggles loose. And we have to take care of them the hard way. And you can SHUT YOUR GOB about how maybe we aren't TRYING.

Re: Oi, Finnigan!

[alt_ron]

That what you scream about at night, then?

Muggles blowing up tins of peas?

Re: Oi, Finnigan!

[alt_seamus]

Shut it, Weasley.

Re: Oi, Finnigan!

[alt_ron]

Or what?

Re: Oi, Finnigan!

[alt_seamus]

Keep flapping your gob and you'll find out, eh?

Private message to Padma

[alt_seamus]

He's such an ASS.

Re: Private message to Padma

[alt_padma]

He's a complete idiot. Just ignore him.

Re: Private message to Padma

[alt_seamus]

I'm going to hex him.

Where is he right now? Have you seen him? Is he out by the lake with Parkinson again?

Re: Private message to Padma

[alt_padma]

Well, that was before I saw what he was saying about how you're not trying hard enough.

Doesn't he know what would happen to your family if the muggles took over again?

Lakshmi, Weasley's not just rude and thick, he's utterly horrid.

I haven't seen him all day, either, but let's think of how to get him. I bet Cox would have some ideas. Or Draco and Teddy.

Re: Private message to Padma

[alt_padma]

OOH, you know what? Director Selwyn said he'd put a hex on Higgs, didn't he, the kind that would make him say to everyone what kind of person he is? I wonder if we could find how to do that.

Re: Private message to Padma

[alt_seamus]

And that's a brilliant idea for a hex.

I read this morning that what Higgs has to say is, 'I'm a blabbermouth who can't be trusted! Don't tell me anything you don't want the world to know!'

What do you think Weasley should have to say, if I can work out how to make him say it?

Re: Private message to Padma

[alt_padma]

How about 'I'm a dirty great selfish moron with no sense of what it is to be a proper wizard.'

Re: Private message to Padma

[alt_seamus]

Not bad but everyone knows that already; maybe we should have him tell everyone something a little bit new? Like 'I wish I'd been born a squib because then I'd be just like those muggles I love so much!'

Re: Private message to Padma

[alt_padma]

Well, honestly, Seamus...don't get cross, but he's not actually saying he loves muggles (though mudbloods, you might have a point). He was saying you're a tosser if you can't keep muggles in line.

But how about 'I'm rubbish when it comes to any concept of why muggles are dangerous and had to be controlled.'

Re: Private message to Padma

[alt_seamus]

I suppose you have a point.

It can't be too long, though. Maybe just, 'I'm an eejit'?

Re: Private message to Padma

[alt_padma]

'And my mum is fat.'

Or how about 'I'd rather have a row than make a friend.'

Re: Private message to Padma

[alt_seamus]

Would he even mind admitting that? That he'd rather row than have friends, I mean.

Draco suggested I wait until Weasley thinks I've forgotten. So I've got a few days.

I still have to look up the hex.

Re: Private message to Padma

[alt_seamus]

Found it. It was in one of the books Mr Rosier bought me this summer.

Want to meet after dinner?

Re: Private message to Padma

[alt_padma]

Sure.

Re: Private message to Padma

[alt_seamus]

I don't think he's clever enough to know what would happen, or decent enough to care.

He'd probably LOVE to have the muggles take over again, here AND there, and to force all the wizards to hide who we are and pretend they're better than us. He'd probably think that was just GRAND.
