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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

From:

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?

From:

alt_ron

Why'nt you put them to sleep, then?

From:

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.
