Forgive me if I'm being at all heavy-handed here, but, if it's not too much trouble, could someone please tell me the following...

Can I leave, yet?

If not, when can I leave?

And, in general, what am I looking at, here?

Thank you so much. Don't mean to be a bother, you know, one just has to wonder things like this.

I wouldn't mind leaving. As much as I like having the dormitory to myself I'd sort of wanted us to go to my house for Christmas.

If you wanted to, that is.

I just hate being kept in the dark, here, or just in general not knowing what's meant to be happening. Jesus, just feed me to lions, throw me out a window, whatever, but get it over with.

And I have absolutely no problem with that idea, in general, I don't think. I suppose.

I haven't heard anything. They don't talk when I'm around, and unfortunately my attempts at stealth were a miserable failure. It's hard to skulk around when you're a 6'4" Hufflepuff with pointy elbows.

You don't think? Are you sure?

[bootme]

Why would pointed elbows be an impediment to skulking around? I can see the height issue, I suppose, but...

And of course I'm sure. If you want, at this point, I could list any number of things which would likely make you hit me, but I think that's definitely skippable, don't you?

Mr Boot, the Headmaster and myself will be meeting with you on this matter first thing tomorrow morning. Your Father will be in attendance as well.

Thank you, then, Professor.

For something, at very least.

I presume.

[bootme]

Gone now, or soon.

Send it care of 'No one'.

[psstguesswhat]

don't be silly, terry!!!!

i would ask if you wanted to come over, but i kind of got in trouble when i asked mummy if it'd be okay.

[bootme]

Who's being silly? I really and honestly mean it.

And you can not imagine how little surprise I have at the end of that second statement. My answer would have been 'No, are you mad?' anyway, however.
