I haven't been myself lately.

((Backdated to before the cheating happens.))Brilliant, another Hogsmead weekend coming up. It's gotten cold out, hasn't it? I've lost track of the Quidditch matches. Who's leading for the House cup now? I've always wondered about the Shrieking Shack. Is it true someone's been murdered there

Well, they say it's haunted. I assume that would be because of murder. Why the interest, though? Afraid of the Shrieking Shack, are you?

[mcdolohov]

Hogwarts is haunted, what with all the ghosts around. I doubt all of them died here. Could be the things in the Shack sort of migrated. I've been in this school for nearly seven years, I thought I'd express some interest in the surrounding scenery.

[fallingblack]

That's a good point. Why are the ghosts here? Of all places.. But I would think actual haunting ghosts would stick to the places they lived in. You know, the ones bent on doing harm, rather than peaceable, like the ones here.

[mcdolohov]

Biggest magical venue in the British Isles? Hogwarts might be a vacation spot for them or something. You never know with ghosts.

...But has anyone actually heard of any specific murder in the Shack? I know it's supposed to house dangerous spirits, but has anyone seen it first hand?

Moaning Myrtle is not peaceable.

[fallingblack]

Seen the spirits, or the murder? You'll have to be more specific.

How do you know? Do you often visit the girl's loo?

[mcdolohov]

Either.

Um. Regulus. You do know that she travels through the pipes, don't you?

[fallingblack]

Well, I did see a murder there just last week.

Does she? I was under the impression she liked to stay in that one bathroom. I'm not particularly well versed in her movements, though.

[mcdolohov]

You did not.

She travels through the pipes. You know, the pipes that pass through our showers? Where we get wet and naked? ...erm. Seperately. Wet and naked seperately.

[fallingblack]

How do you know?

She doesn't seem the type to spy. But I don't really see what the fuss is about. Shy, are you? Or maybe you're just afraid she'll see what you do in there! Wet and naked and everything.

Come on now, Dolohov. It isn't so bad. She mostly sticks to her toilet.

[mcdolohov]

There hasn't been any murder anywhere around here, you poof.

I'm sorry I don't share you necro-exibitionist kink, Regulus. I'd really not rather have ectoplasmic energy oggling my bits.

She goes around. Trust me.

[fallingblack]

So they say!

It isn't a kink. I'm just not terribly bothered by the possibility that it may or may not happen. Besides, why would she spy on me when clearly she's got you to keep an eye on?

[mcdolohov]

You probably wouldn't even go within a 2-mile radius of the shack.

I honestly hope she bursts out of your shower next time.

[fallingblack]

Are you trying to goad me into going? You're doing a poor job of it, if you are.

Well, me too. How else am I supposed to indulge my necro-exhibitionism?

[mcdolohov]

I'm not. Feel free to saunter in though. Tell me how it goes.
