I think you may have scorched the bottom of my tea mug? Though my Uncles have been fixing tea in my absence, so the bottom could already have been blackened.

I think the scorches add character to these things.

[ scribbled absently- ]

flames; transference of- an attack at a distance? possible to target in specific rather than general / consider other curses (refer to Fidelius)

[ the writing breaks off rather abruptly before resuming ]

I- sorry, I had not meant any harm, either to your book or your mug. I hope the damage was not lasting. If you could perhaps try a scourgify on your mug to check if the stains can be removed? If they can, then that should tell whether the damage was my fault. In either case, I must apologise.

Don't apologize, it was a boring day! In fact, it broke up a bargaining squabble. Thank you! (Father is going to get full price for that dragon's liver now. Shopkeepers here are a little stingy)

Hang on a second. [the page darkens, cinnamon red-brown bleeding across the page]spilled my tea. Most of the scorching is still there?

They can't? I really hope it wasn't because of what I did, that'd be terrible- if there really was fire and these were left unattended, then there might be serious risk of hurting someone...

No, silly, I'm pretty sure my Uncle's have been burning my mug all winter long. The scorching is probably permanent and certainly not your fault. The squabble broke up because I squeaked in surprise when the page under my pen darkened!

Don't worry so much!

Oh-

Well, that is a relief. I was worried for a while...

I'm sorry I worried you. It was still a very nice distraction?

For you, perhaps.

If you'll excuse me a while, I think I need to tell the house elves to replace some of the furniture- thankfully my mother is not at home now, I shudder to think of how she would feel about this.

...I don't think you need my permission to step away from your pen. Granted though!

Good luck with the cover-up.

Well, I'll have to tell her eventually. I think it'll be easier if I clean up first, though, that is all.

Yes, that probably would mitigate the sentence? Is your mother harsh?

Reply

thesial August 4 2009, 12:53:42 UTC
Not exactly. But I doubt she'd be pleased with this, regardless.

Well, good luck. I hope it doesn't get too bad. Maybe next time you should try things outside?

thesial August 4 2009, 14:59:23 UTC
Maybe. I'll consider it, but it's not likely- there'd be too much of a temptation to simply let the fires run free, I suspect.

...this happens a lot?

thesial August 4 2009, 15:06:19 UTC
Of course not, but I know my limits. I am a Dark Charms major, after all, so if I was not aware of them, I'd be quite a risk to anything I hold dear.
