Life is full of surprises

Oct 05, 1976 15:32

Well I’m prefect.

Yes even I can be surprised. And here I was sure I was in for a detention for telling it how it is.

And suddenly they want me to learn the ropes from ground up in my last year… Curious I tell you.

I expect help. Yes you, fellow Prefect.

Memmy-line I will say this now-no shrieking unless it is in the form of congratulation.

Oh, dear lord. You are the one they picked to replace me, damn the school is really in trouble now.

Hey... that wasn't very nice.

You're supposed to be on my side.

In fact, I daresay you are supposed to congratulate me.

But... I am open to any and all suggestions that you may have, oh esteemed Prefect one.

So.... yes... suggestions? Please?

Yes it was nice. Do remember I have been your roommate unfortunately since first year. So I know what you are like with being forced to put up with you.

Who ever said I had to be on your side?

Why do I have to congratulate you? So what my temper got me in trouble (I knocked out the Headboy and mouthed off to Dumbledore. I used words that made the old man turn red) and it lost me my badge and secured myself being stuck home two weeks listening to my parents yell at me about everything I have done wrong. YEs, I am a little bitter.

Yes. Seven years. It's a wonder I'm still alive after all this time. And if you must be so glum think of it this way-now they get to have me in all my rambling glory.

And I said you ought to be on my side. More of a request than a demand.

Oh you hit Pot-head Potter?? And you said words to make the Headmaster turn red?

Can I give you a medal? Please??? You hit golden-boy Pot-head?! Is there a picture? Can you make a Pensieve?

Oh what I would do to frame that!

While I'm not sure if you think it's worth it or not for all the trouble you went to... Cor, I wish I'd seen it. Ha, no wonder he's been complaining about a headache. I can only hope you did him some brain damage too.

But no being bitter. Put some sugar in your tea. You were just engaged! This ought to be the happiest time of your life. And congratulations on that front by the way, you're a lucky man. Though I do sometimes think she would kill me if she had the chance.And thank you for the advice. It's all be duly ( ... )

Not having to share a room with you for two weeks will be the highlight of this suspension. I might need to ask my fiancee if she would smother you one night. It would look too obvious coming from me.

Yes, hitting Potter was what caused me to have to see the headmaster and let's say I don't think ole Albie Dumbledore has heard such nasty words from anyone in quite a long time. Had I kept my mouth shut I would have only lost my badge and a month of detention. And if you want to give me a medal upon my return I will not stop you. But sorry I won't make you a pensive. I only made the other one as a present for Bellatrix.

It is kind of difficult to be completely happy about getting engaged when I am getting the kind of grief I am from my parents about it. They think I am way too young to be thinking about marriage and, do not tell Bellatrix this, I don't think my parents like her very much.

Well I suppose having a room all to oneself is a luxury we don't enjoy at Hogwarts, so in that sense, do live it up. However I would like to point out I'm merely an insomniac who creeps about during the wee hours of the night-it’s Rosier who snores.

If you'd kept your mouth shut, I doubt you would've had the satisfaction of seeing the Bumbling-bore turn purple. I half-fancy he flushed the spectrum of the rainbow but that perhaps is just my wild imagination.

And I do still think you deserve a medal and you shall have it! How does: "Lestrange: Grand Clubber of Pot-Head and the first to make Dumble-bore change colours without the aid of magic"? Perhaps a bit long... I shall have to come up with something else. And while I figured as much on the Pensieve front it was worth a shot. You shall just have to savor it all alone... though if you do write any memoirs that contain descriptions of said events do put my name down for a copy. I should like it signed too ( ... )

Yes, Rosier and his snoring will be dealt with on my return. Honestly, has the boy not heard of a silencing charm. It is not hard and it could save him many bruises to come his way ( ... )

Maybe he's a glutton for punishment. Then again he calls me a ruddy liar every time I point out he’s snoring symphonies. Apparently my being an insomniac doesn’t account for anything.

Not an empty promise at all! I have it here with me as we write. I'd leave it on your bed but I'm afraid that one of the other lads in their sleepy-stupors might mistake it for a gold galleon and try pocketing it. But I'll leave it there for you on the day of your return. And if you ever have the time, the patience or the inspiration to write down your memoirs I do implore you to do so-I think they would be a fascinating read.

Would they rather you be bent with old age when you move to do great things? My own mother is harping at me to find a steady girlfriend but she's under the impression that I will supply her with dozens of grandchildren before I'm twenty-five-no idea why really, I mean my brothers are still just kids enough to fuss over If Emmeline were privy to this conversation she would argue my father and I too are children enough...

Bellatrix has been over the manor on several occasions. They had always been very cordial to her on those occasions. My mother made the reference in calling her a harlot when she said if I was so flippant about the age I am marrying that it would be no surprise that I was sleeping with the harlot girl.

I should be happy that I am getting married to someone I want to be with and not someone being forced upon me. I just want to hint something, but the bruises make that painful.

And yes, I could use some salve for the bruises. Thanks, mate.

I bet you are quiet tired of listening to me rant on about this. What have you been keeping yourself entertained with in my absence?

And they called you flippant when they are so fickle themselves? Tsk... Apparently they seem to be a bit stuck on ages... Pity really. I hope for both of your sakes that they come around ( ... )
