I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up to No Good

[alt_luna]

Madam Umbridge is horrid. She truly is.

She thinks she can simply root around in our private belongings. Perhaps turnabout is fair play?

I heard Lee Jordan talking about letting a couple of Nifflers loose in her office. That has possibilities, don't you think?

It also occurred to me: Hydra said at the meeting of the Tea Appreciation Society that the kittens on the plates mounted on her walls were alive.

Could we come up with a spell to let them go? That would be a good thing to do, don't you think? It would be nice to see something freed for a change.

I mean, it's certainly not sneaking muggleborns out of camps, of course. But perhaps we can work up to that, and we have to start somewhere.

Private message to Susan Bones and Hydra Lestrange

[alt_luna]

What Madam Umbridge is doing to Sally-Anne and Pansy is awful. I think they need to have some Teatime of the Strange support.

It might be quite awkward to all meet in one room, if Pansy is going to continue berating poor Sally-Anne. But perhaps we could split the group, and some of each of us spend time with each one of them? And we could swap each day, until the spell is over.

I just don't want them to feel that they're alone in this.

Could you help spread word to the others?

Yes, I think that's a wonderful idea! I feel terrible for both of them.

Luna, maybe you and Hydra and Milli could spend time with Sally-Anne, and Mandy and I could talk to Pansy?

Re: Private message to Susan Bones and Hydra Lestrange

[alt_luna]

I can do that, yes.

[alt_sally_anne]

It might be an agricultural spell. I mean, I can think of uses on a farm for that sort of spell, so maybe that's what it is. The spell that turned the kittens into plates, I mean.

I got my rat when Carrow's rats all got loose. I bet people would like getting kittens if we could figure out a way.

You'll want to ask Sebastian what he thinks of it before you decide to take one of the kittens, though!

[alt_sally_anne]

True.

I don't think he'd be thrilled.

He's being really cuddly tonight. Wants to sit on my shoulder and lean up against my ear. I think he knows I'm

[alt_ron]

Maybe Pansy'll wake up tomorrow and be back to normal, yeah?

It's going to be all right, y'know. Really, it will.

[alt_sally_anne]

Maybe.

Private Message to Sally Anne

[alt_ron]

Are you feeling better this morning?

What about Pansy?

If you want, we could find a place to do homework tonight. Or go for a walk again.

See you at breakfast?

Things are about the same.

Luna wants me to come to the library tonight and try to figure out the plate spell. I don't know.

Re: Private Message to Sally Anne

[alt_ron]

Oh. Y'mean she's still doing it? Ugh.

Oh. Well.

I could come along. I mean, yeah. We want to figure that out. At least freeing those kittens would be a good thing we could do.

Private message to Sally-Anne Perks

[alt_luna]

We were thinking that some Teatime of the Strange support might help, before the spell on Pansy wears off? Maybe in two groups, and we can swap off. Would you like to spend some time with Milli and Hydra and me tonight? Mandy and Sue can be with Pansy.

We can go to the library, work on the plate spell. It'd give us something else to think about.

Re: Private message to Sally-Anne Perks

[alt_sally_anne]

I'll come to the library to work on the spell if you want. Ron wants to come too.

I don't know if I can deal with Milli though.

[alt_pansy]

Someone needs to talk to Cassie too.

It's important.

I don't think I ought to, but it needs to be done.
