Well, I must say that this whole business with the Yule Ball is quite ridiculous. We shouldn't have to make romantic overtures to our peers in order to pass a class. Hmph. I suppose I must get a date, because I am certainly not failing a class for such a silly reason. Er. I think

Well there is that antique store in Hogsmeade, they had that set of pewter candle sticks on sale for three galleons!

[pious_zacharias]

Will you go to the Yule Ball with me?

[stolen_marbles]

What about a spanner, Hermione?

You could always use a revolver, I suppose, but those can be so dangerous, especially if you check to see if they're in working order by squeezing the trigger when squinting down the barrel.

One of Father's long dead cousins did that. It took weeks to clean the drapes, apparently.

Strangely attractive for a female as peculiar as yourself to be talking about weaponry and ...pipes.

Which reminds me, would you, uhm, want to go to the Yule Ball with me?

[stolen_marbles]

Would I want to? I think I might like to.

Only if you promise that you will dance with me. I like dancing.

And no leather.

[deranged_gofer]

Why does the bunny have--

Actually, I probably do not want to know. And yes, I'll wear no leather whatsoever.

I suppose dancing will be fine. After all, I have been taught by the best. Even if the best is largely into disco. Not that there's anything wrong with disco, but it's just really ..sparkly.

Uhm, right. I'll see you then, right?

[deranged_gofer]

A lead pipe? Are you planning on dismantling someone's plumbing?

Maybe a wrench would be a better choice.

[veryverysmart]

Noted, thank you.

[pious_zacharias]

Will you go to the Yule Ball with me?

[deranged_gofer]

Um. No. Sorry.

If it makes you feel better, if you'd asked to assist me as a product tester, you would have received a very enthusiastic yes!

[waitingfortom]

You do remember you're a witch, right? But I'm sure you thought of your wand already.

I think a knife is a better choice if you're going for messy. You're really guaranteed to make a mess with that! A rope is much cleaner, and blunt objects might just bruise or dent or bounce off even.

[stolen_marbles]

I suppose Hermione could always try and make it look like an accident and push her down the stairs.

There are enough of them in Hogwarts, after all.

We'd just have to make sure she didn't bounce.

[waitingfortom]

Yes, if she hit a landing and just stopped instead of going down the next one, well, that'd be a bother.

[stolen_marbles]

Perhaps we could grease the landings? I'm sure Fred has something we could use.

Even better, we could push her off the Astronomy Tower! I'm sure she goes up there all the time to flip her hair around and giggle.

Hermione dear, I believe this would be a good time to offer you a small extra credit project. The topic is Transfiguring objects into non-magical, Muggle artifacts that may or may not be used for the purposes they were originally intended for.

[veryverysmart]

Yes, Professor, but I feel that supporting local businesses is very important.

[tart_in_tartan]

Quite right, Miss Granger. Five points to Gryffindor for being so responsible.

[pious_zacharias]

Professor, I was wondering if you might want to go to the Yule Ball with me?
