Rodolphus Lestrange, Photograph, 1 April 1977

Apr 01, 2007 00:10

Name: Rodolphus Lestrange
Date: 1 April 1977
Format: Photograph
Relevance: Challenge to (probably) Alastor Moody
Archivist's Notes: The handwriting on the photo has been identified as Lestrange's. Given the date, it is possible this was intended as a joke. However, given what we know of Auror Moody, it is unlikely in the extreme that he treated it ( Read more... )

*stares at the photograph, then blinks*
*with conviction, if dryly*
You're such an idiot, Lestrange.

nex_colubra April 8 2007, 22:06:06 UTC

*bored*

Do tell Prewett.

*yawns*

hexed_gideon April 9 2007, 10:11:05 UTC

Sorry, he's bent on crack here. :D

Who else has such a bulky build, hm? D'you think Moody's stupid?

nex_colubra April 9 2007, 17:00:06 UTC

S'OK. He can handle it! ;)

*archly*

Why Prewett! I never noticed you noticing my build before!

*snaps*

Of course I don't think he's stupid! I wouldn't waste my time on someone I thought was stupid!

We've got a bet on.

hexed_gideon April 9 2007, 19:19:15 UTC

*fixes him with a mock-critical look*
Problem about your build is, Lestrange, it's hard not to notice, you see.

What are you betting over?

nex_colubra April 9 2007, 19:43:21 UTC

Enjoy the pretty icon!

*strikes a Charles Atlas pose*

Are you saying I loom Prewett? *looms*

Whether or not he can catch me.

Oh and I have to find his price. He says he can't be bought; I say he can.

hexed_gideon April 10 2007, 18:32:11 UTC

Hossa! Nice. :D

*is practically not there compared to Rodolphus looming*
*makes a dismissive motion with one hand*
Only in the most understated way.

I see.

Of course you'd say that. You may want to consider, however, that there are people who claim that with the same right as you claim absolute integrity there.

nex_colubra April 11 2007, 11:40:49 UTC

*licks*

*thoughtfully*

Understated looming. *slow smile* I think I like that.

I don't think he can. He's slowing down in his old age.

My integrity not withstanding; everyone has a price Prewett.

*looms closer*

Even you. *smirks*

hexed_gideon April 11 2007, 22:30:59 UTC

It's nice to see someone so taken with their character. :DDD

*shrugs*
Ask a copy editor if you want a nice word for it.

Lestrange, you're younger than I am, I don't think you've ever really come across Moody in his younger years, unless you're referring to a past life?

*dryly*
I didn't think I'd be an exception to such a general rule, you know.

nex_colubra April 12 2007, 12:34:12 UTC

*frets* Sometimes I wonder if that's a good thing or a bad thing. *grin*

Nice isn't necessary; accurate will do.

Perhaps I am. Be that as it may, I still don't think he can catch me. Not without a lot of help.

Of course not. *gives him a long look*

*softly, almost thinking out loud*

I wonder what yours might be.

hexed_gideon April 13 2007, 19:24:27 UTC

Well... ;D

It goes without saying that the words are accurate. The challenge is to have them be accurate and sound nice on top of it, a phenomenon usually called phonaesteticism.

*very dryly*
Should you prove difficult to catch, it will be due to your name and the power attached to it, and not any more flattering attributes such as cunning and rapid thinking.

*raises one eyebrow*
Happy thinking.

nex_colubra April 14 2007, 01:30:43 UTC

I'll just go with it for now and let my therapist sort it out! ;)

*mouth thins*

Am I supposed to be impressed? Hooray. You swallowed the dictionary. *claps twice, sarcastically*

*terribly nasty smirk*

They haven't caught me yet have they?

*shows his teeth*

I'm enjoying it. I'm especially enjoying thinking about all those nephews you have...

I have some rather gory icons I'd like to use in connection with this, if you wouldn't mind? I always ask in case I squick someone too badly.

hexed_gideon April 16 2007, 08:27:53 UTC

That sounds like he's going to prescribe either a clinic or Sectus in summer. :D

*is amused*
To each their own, Lestrange. You spend your time with executing the meaning of words, I spend my time with the shape and the meaning of words.

No, as I say there is the problem of your name, and considering how things are going, I assume that it's the best protection there is. Far better than spells and safe houses.

*dryly*
I never knew you had a weakness for redheads. One wouldn't think so looking at your wife.

Go ahead, my stomach is hard to upset, and so is Gideon's I dare say, otherwise he shouldn't have joined the Order. ;)

nex_colubra April 17 2007, 11:32:44 UTC

Perhaps both? ;)

And yet no one has any trouble understanding my meaning. Interesting, don't you think?

You've got it a bit backward, haven't you? If they catch me, then my name will be important. So far, my best protection has been the phenomenal stupidity of other people.

My wife could be a redhead whenever she wanted to be. It's up to her. I'll mention it.

*thinks*

But redheads are rare and easy to identify. Perhaps I should go with something a bit more untraceable. Like a foot.

Thanks and so noted. It doesn't bother me either, but I like to warn people just in case.
