To Uphold a Reputation - Part Four

Weasley,

What is this? Your letter is all greasy. And I don’t want to know what you were doing while writing this! And, really Weasley, if you want to cross something out, do it properly.

Did you use that much time and effort just to get inside the classroom and see what evil Parkinson’s plotting? You must really care. I feel extremely flattered, Weasley. Really, I do.

For your information: stalking me and ‘following me around to see what I’m up to’ are one and the same thing.

Just stay away. I’m not doing anything you should concern your foolish head with; I’m not doing anything against the rules. So stop wasting your time, and go find a hobby or something.

And why are you so eager to know what I do after curfew, anyway? Slytherins have other things to do with their lives than plot evil ways to kill Gryffindors.

Parkinson

Parkinson,

You try writing a letter when your best friend - and everyone else - is watching your every move. I had to write the letter during lunch (because Harry wasn’t there), and Seamus snagged it out of my hands, so we had a fight. The letter ended up in … I guess you don’t want to know.

I finally discovered what it is you do after curfew in that abandoned classroom, and don’t ask me how I found out, I have my methods.

There’s just one thing I don’t get. Why do Slytherins have to be sneaky about every bloody thing? You like to paint and be artistic or whatever, big fucking deal. It’s nothing to be ashamed of, so why the hell do you paint it all secrecy and after curfew?

Your paintings must really suck.

Ron Weasley

Weasley,

So you know? How the fuck did you find out? And I demand to know, this is my secret we’re discussing!

Couldn’t you even find a clean parchment to write on, instead of reusing mine? What the hell are you, Weasley?

There are some things in life that you like to keep to yourself. Painting is one of them for me. The only thing, actually, and I don’t want anyone to meddle in and judge me based on the things I paint. When I paint, I can just express myself as I want to, how I want to, without worrying about others' opinion.

And besides, painting wouldn’t really go with my reputation, would it?

Now that you know my secret anyway, I can’t stop you from dropping by and disturbing me, so why bother? Just never tell anyone. Not even your two friends. That’s the only thing I ask of you.

Parkinson

Parkinson,

I’ll never understand Slytherins. I’m not even sure I want to. You lot are crazy.

Your reputation is in the gutter already, so nothing you do can ruin it further.

And I’ll be there.

Weasley

Weasley,

Witty.

Parkinson
