Private message to Ron Weasley and Neville Longbottom

[alt_seamus]

Right. So, Malfoy talked to me today because he had an idea, after Duelling Club last night. We saw how two students could work together to take down an adult, even a teacher. He said he and Parkinson and Marvolo are going to practice this stuff in case -- well. To try to make sure there aren't any more 'accidents' in the Carrow classes. He suggested I might try organising students in Gryffindor to do the same.

I talked to Dean already, and I'll talk to Lavender and Parvati and Katrina tomorrow. But we're going to have to work together on this. None of us could ever take on Carrow (either of them) individually.

Are you with me?

I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good

Yeah. As long as your idea of a plan isn't 'push Neville into the hex' so he takes it for you.

No kidding.

I don't want to let on to him that I've been reading my parents' auror books. The less I say about my parents the better, you know? So maybe I won't let on about all the things I know. But it'd be good to get some practical experience.

Yeah, it's probably best if everybody goes on thinking you're a bit wet.

I mean, Malfoy thinks you're playing a game and you're really secretly some kind of threat to Marvolo. And that's just daft, but you really, really don't want either of them to get the idea you know more than they thought.

And Finnigan will totally tell Malfoy anything you do that surprises him.

But still. He's right about one thing: we stand a better chance against the Carrows, if we plan what to do if either of them does something.

We have to make sure, though, that we've got a plan for what happens whether it's you they attack or Thomas or Bundy or me or Finnigan or whoever. I mean, maybe he just wants us to have a plan for what happens if he needs us.
