Entry #14

[shapely_millie]

Tracey, your lessons are coming along quite well. You're getting the hang of it. Granted, you do get distracted one too many times. I've half a mind to ban Theodore from coming to watch you practice. Soon we'll see if I've taught you well

What are you up to now?

[shapely_millie]

Nothing important nor worth inquiring about, darling.

[not_draconis]

Be thankful I am so tired at the moment, Millicent. You don't call me darling unless it is something tremendously questionable and I rather not end up with the worst of it all. Or should I say again since I am recalling a particular situation you and Greengrass took part in?

[shapely_millie]

I'm quite certain I don't know what you're talking about. At all. I'm in a loving mood. Is that a crime all of a sudden?

[not_draconis]

With you in question? Yes.

[shapely_millie]

I've decided to turn a new leaf?

[not_draconis]

Nice try but just as unlikely as the previous lie.

But, no matter, you have your fun just as long as I don't end up with some hideous Gryffindor fawning over my every move. I know I am quite irresistible but I do have my limits.

[shapely_millie]

I've got a stitch in my side from that last one.

So you wouldn't mind if a good looking Gryffindor started fawning over you?

Merlin, I'm on a roll tonight. I'm going to bust a gut if I don't stop while I'm ahead.

[not_draconis]

Don't think I don't know where you are going with that little comment, Millicent.

[shapely_millie]

Innocent until proven guilty!

Besides, what good looking Gryffindors are there? And why are they hiding?

[not_draconis]

Very good questions indeed but I believe once one is sorted into Gryffindor they are destined to live a life of being unreasonably unattractive. Has there ever been a somewhat good-looking Gryffindor ever?

Needless to say, it must be one of the requirements: insane, unbearably dull, emotionally disabled, and extremely unpleasing to the eyes.

[shapely_millie]

George Weasley. You know the answer to that one. You don't need me to confirm it.

My, you must be tired. I haven't seen you say so many nice things about Gryffindors in months.

[not_draconis]

If Potter just -- fuck never mind

It has been a trying couple of months I must say and I doubt tomorrow will help at all. If they put me in charge of First Year Duty I won't be responsible for my actions.

It's difficult enough knowing I will be forced to risk my health by spending time with that Granger the rest of the year let alone deal with incompetent children.

[shapely_millie]

I doubt you'd ever give up the chance to pass out detentions left and right over a few idiotic children that I can easily handle for you.

I don't think anyone is dimwitted enough to leave you alone with a group of first years.

[not_draconis]

Perhaps but I must admit, after years of being a prefect, giving out detention after detention has become rather dull. I honestly wish some of them would get at least more creative with their rule-breaking. If you insist on breaking the rules, at least make it worth my while. Sneaking about after hours and snogging in random corridors has grown quite predictable.

I do hope you are right but knowing how this school is run it does raise a couple of questions.

[shapely_millie]

You'd rather they get caught doing something a little more riské? How voyeuristic.

Anything by the Headmaster is to be questioned.
