I'm truly looking forward to Valentine's Day. I've never really been able to get over the production that was made over it my first year here, and the past years have been a little disappointing

Hey, my mum's got it into her head that there's metrognomes all over West Ham and she says she's put bits of rowan down all the drains to keep them out. (Poor bloody plumber who has to deal with that, and I don't see how it'll help even if there are gnomes hanging about.) This isn't something she got out of the Quibbler, is it? Only it sounds utterly daft
Well, you'll see, won't you? (And he is, indeed, a he.)
And that's actually quite clever of her. I have heard of the metrognomes, but the bits of rowan part is very clever -- I hadn't heard of that way to keep them out. Would she be interested in writing about it, do you think?
Oh, because I'm really going to write it out for all to see and spoil the surprise for everyone.
But if you like, you may come talk to me and I'll tell you in person instead.
Milk would work just as well, but rowan is more prevention than milk. With milk you have to wait for them to actually show upn so you can pour it on them, whereas rowan will just keep them away before they appear.
No, you wouldn't want manky milk. I'd imagine it wouldn't shoot very far, as it would gum up the works of your water pistol. And smell.
You may disagree with her, but it doesn't make her nutters. You see things your way and she sees things her way, and in each of your own points of view you're right.
The problem is that she doesn't think things through logically, she just gets an idea in her head and runs off with it. And they all contradict each other, you know? And that doesn't bother her at all.

What you think it actually works? I mean, sure, rowan's great and all but she'd have as much luck pouring milk on them, I'd have thought.
Yeah, I reckon she would. But, you know she's a Muggle, right?

Maybe I should get her a waterpistol and she can fill it with milk and keep it in her handbag in case she spots any when she's out and about.
Knew you didn't want Muggles writing for you.

And when did I ever say that? I can see some of what you scribbled out.

Oh. You didn't. I just figured.
Look, she's absolutely nutters, you know. 'Mind so open' and all.

'Mind so open your brain falls out.'
God, I miss Terry.
I can't believe I miss Terry.
