*giggles* Oh, sugar, you don't know anything.

[p_weatherby]

=Glances up from his paperwork= Can I help you at all, Miss Lovegood?

[luna_loves_well]

Yes, I seem to be militaristic, illegal and a possible cause of widespread panic. Perhaps the Ministry has some paperwork that will clear that up for me?

[p_weatherby]

I'm afraid paperwork would not cure any of those ailments. Perhaps you should ask a Healer at St Mungos if they will perscribe you a mild seditive instead?

[capitis_sepenti]

You certainly do seem a very clever young man.

[p_weatherby]

Thank you. Although you're on the wrong side, the compliment is welcome. Can you persuade my superiors to think that way too?

[capitis_sepenti]

Oh, I don't think so. The person I was very good at persuading no longer works in the ministry and you don't want to hold me up as a character witness to how intelligently researched your paper is.

*dumbstruck, unable to think of words bad enough to call Percy*

[exsequeverus]

(Would have considered letting the twins have one or two of the copies of Shakespeare's Insults people keep giving him as graduation presents. Still might, if they take their damned NEWTs.)

[greddy_freddy]

*as NEWTs are looking like less and less of a probability, the twins probably won't be on the recieving end of any gifts*

Incidentally, Shakespeare's insults are rather fantastic. Two of my favourites are 'I wish thou wert a dog, That I might love thee something', and 'He has not so much brain as earwax'.

[exsequeverus]

(had actually been assuming he was already gone, since it's late April; hence the 'would have')

They really are. Alas, my copy's at school with my brother. Le sigh. n,n

[viridigitus]

*impressed*
Well I'm certainly glad someone in the Ministry's finally had the guts to say it. Good lad; I can see you going far in the future.

[p_weatherby]

Thank you, Miss Yaxley. Although the DA and The Order are not the only group we are keeping an eye on.

Can I take this oppertunity to remind you that you must renew your Dangerous and Exotic Plants licence?

[viridigitus]

No, of course not, I wouldn't expect anything less of such an efficient and wide-ranging body.

*sighs*
You mean my brother didn't tell you? I've taken a rather long leave of respite out of the country. I've been registered with the German Ministry for quite some time now. Be sure I'll resumbit the paperwork if I come back.

[p_weatherby]

=Looks at her for a moment, almost disbelievingly=

Mr Yaxley? =Frowns and notes this down in a margin= Thank you. I'll be sure to get in contact with your brother.

[harriedpotter]

*can't stop laughing long enough to comment*
*pictures Neville causing wide-spread panic*
*laughs harder*

[exsequeverus]

(looks at Potter funny, as Longbottom causes wide-spread panic practically everywhere he treads)

Now I see why you picked Percy, Ayan--Luke just wasn't evil enough! (g)

[harriedpotter]

*makes Neville large like a Stay-Puft Marshmallow man*

[exsequeverus]

(drops a suitably sized-greenhouse over him, shrinks them both back to normal. May miss the mark slightly.)
