Hogwarts Too Exposed Chapter 6 part 1

Mar 12, 2012 04:36

The last chapter of Hogwarts Too Exposed: A Slytherin Among Us brought us Hogwarts and the Slytherin among us, and we'd already had far too much exposure. That's only going to continue. Is anyone surprised?

( Hogwarts Too Exposed Chapter 6 )

Woe is Emily, being in the house she directly asked the Sorting Hat to put her in. Fucking idiot.

Dude, language!!

XD

Maybe when Emily has gained a level.

That's how I'm picturing Emily trying to press the conversation further after the stilted way it ended...

So true. It does make her sound like her next conversation hasn't been unlocked yet.

"The letter clearly said an owl or a cat or a toad. How did you even get a donkey down the stairs?"

Brit!Fail, I'm guessing?

My original comment there was simply "Arse!", but then I had a better idea.

sickbritkid2 March 12 2012, 20:57:51 UTC

Huh. I figured that Brits could use ass and arse interchangeably when referring to someone's butt...

szaleniec1000 March 13 2012, 16:22:47 UTC

At least round here, "ass" tends to be used in more of a joking context, or as part of a set expression like "kick ass". There are probably regional variations, but as I've no clue what regions the characters are even from I can't comment on that.

Not that I don't sympathise with her, but she's still calling a complete stranger a tart when they're both eleven years old.

As well as saying nothing but "tart" whenever she wants to insult Emily.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but Brits are generally more varied in their insults...

Now I don't think Emily manipulated Kim to set this situation up

No, but she still essentially bullied Kim into stripping down so that way she'd have someone on her side, if forcefully.

szaleniec1000 March 12 2012, 10:20:30 UTC

I'm not defending Emily. Even if her actions were genuinely an attempt to help Kim with no ulterior motives, they were still deeply inappropriate. Couldn't she have bewitched the knickers to remove the offending pattern? I know she's only just started Hogwarts but she's supposed to be a Hermione-level talent, and Hermione herself did some simple spells for practice before she started school.

Plus there's the fact that some wizarding families(like, I dunno, the pureblooded Zacherley family) do teach their kids a bit of basic magic before putting them on the train.

At least I would if I were a wizarding parent, anyway.

Plus, how in the hell are Powerpuff Girls knickers supposed to be "inappropriate", according to the narrative? Kim's fuckin' ELEVEN! Hell, I watched the Powerpuff Girls show when I was twelve!

As I said, "because they're Muggle" would have made more sense than "because they're childish" for why they're embarrassing. That way, we're not relying on pureblood kids being familiar with Muggle popular culture.
