SONNET FOR A SORCERER

[potter_mouth]

OKAY, DOUCHEMORT, I CAN TELL YOU'RE FEELING IT TOO, BUT I THINK OUR HATRED FOR EACH OTHER HAS SORT OF...GROWN TO BE A FORCE OF HABIT. IT HAS LOST ITS MOJO. WHAT ONCE WAS SHEER LOATHING HAS NOW BECOME RELEGATED TO SOMETHING I DO EVERY DAY, LIKE BRUSHING MY TEETH OR SHOWERING WITH RON OR CALLING GINNY A WHORE. I JUST DON'T MEAN IT LIKE I USED TO

I'd never say it either.

[potter_mouth]

WHAT A PRECIOUS REVIEW.

[masterriddle]

I should write for the Prophet.

[potter_mouth]

YOU MUST PUT IN AN APPLICATION AT ONCE.

[insectintegrity]

We have a rigorous application process requiring the display of certain... talent.

[masterriddle]

I hardly think Ginevra would approve.

[insectintegrity]

Oh, who cares what little girls think?

[masterriddle]

Not many people, clearly.

[insectintegrity]

Don't tell me you prefer her to a real woman.

[masterriddle]

And what, exactly, is the difference between the two?

[insectintegrity]

Temperament, maturity, looks... She's always had such a temper and it's only worsened with age.

[masterriddle]

Do you not think she has some reason for it?

[insectintegrity]

Do you think she does?

I wouldn't like to be short and small-chested either, but I'd do something about it if I was. Then again, maybe she has no problem with that, and she's shrieky for some other reason.

[masterriddle]

Perhaps she is "shrieky" because she is constantly confronted by attitudes like yours.

[insectintegrity]

You're defending her? You must be sweet on her. Can't say I see the attraction.

[masterriddle]

I could say the same about you.
