Weasley XI: The Reckoning

Just when you thought it was safe to go back in The Burrow...

[weezlibxi]

This is all seriously fucked...

[lunawiththewillow]

Ginny is lovely. Besides, shouldn’t you be used to noise? Aren’t Gryffindors supposed to be loud? All the Gryffindors I’ve met are rather loud.

Although, maybe if you always have noise around you, it’s nice to have some peace and quiet. The Ravenclaw common room is really quiet because everyone’s always reading. That’s probably why I don’t mind people being loud. It’s a nice change.

[weezlibxi]

Well, if she is, that's definitely news to me.

I don't know if we're all loud, but my family definitely is.

It's definitely nice to get a break from my family, but I don't actually know how much peace and quiet there is with Harry, Neville, and I. We're actually a bit insane.

[weezlibxi]

This is all seriously fucked...

[draconis-perfectus]

Of course you would—you Gryffindors are all alike: too stupid to be sensible…

Magnificent? Yes, they certainly are—at least from the Slytherin perspective. I’m not sure your own housemates would agree, of course…but I suppose you at least should be granted some credit for recognizing that you have value to the winning side—ours.

[weezlibxi]

Sensible?! What's not sensible about it? Who is going to stop me? As far as I can tell, no one is going to do a fucking thing.

Oh yeah. So, you're winning for now. Big impressive deal. In actual fact, it's not over until it's over, so I guess that we'll just have to wait and see how it ends, won't you?

[weezlibxi]

This is all seriously fucked...

[draconis-perfectus]

You wouldn’t dare.

Besides, from what I saw of your appalling performance on the pitch, you’d more likely miss and hurt yourself if you tried.

[weezlibxi]

Oh, I'd more than dare. Believe me, Malfoy.

Appalling? My efforts on the pitch are magnificent and you know it.

[weezlibxi]

This is all seriously fucked...

[lunawiththewillow]

I wouldn’t mind having brothers and sisters. It would make things at home more interesting.

Although, you have quite a few of them, so I can see how that would get a bit loud. Ginny always talks about how noisy and irritating her brothers are, so it might be good if you go visit Harry or Neville. She would probably also enjoy some peace and quiet.

[weezlibxi]

You would mind mine. Trust me.

Loud... Loud is an understatement. And Ginny has absolutely no fucking room to talk. She's just as noisy and irritating herself.

[weezlibxi]

This is all seriously fucked...

[edgy-marietta-deactivated201507]

No. This is a bit more than their sort of pranking, isn’t it?

Who do you think is behind it?

[weezlibxi]

No fucking clue. All that I know is that it's almost enough to make someone worry, isn't it?

[weezlibxi]

This is all seriously fucked...

[lunawiththewillow]

I don’t mind exams. I find some of them quite enjoyable actually. I suppose that not everyone feels that way though.

I think you’d probably miss your friends if they closed Hogwarts. I know I would. I think I would prefer to write exams every day than go for a long time without seeing my friends.

[weezlibxi]

Nah. I'd just go to the Potters or the Longbottoms a lot. Their houses are so quiet and... brotherless.

Although-- Harry's little sister might be an even bigger pain than mine is. And that's saying something, truly.

[weezlibxi]

This is all seriously fucked...

[edgy-marietta-deactivated201507]

Oh, but this will all be over by next week, don’t you think?

"Chamber of Secrets, ‘Muggleborns beware,’ ‘Abandon hope all ye who enter here, et cetera, et cetera.’" This is just some awful prank.

[weezlibxi]

Who knows?

I dunno. I was thinking so, but then this whole thing with the petrification started. I don't even reckon the twins would do that...

[weezlibxi]

This is all seriously fucked...

[lunawiththewillow]

I suppose that’s one way to look at things. Although I was quite looking forward to my first Care of Magical creatures exam. Do you think they’d let us write them once they sort everything out?

[weezlibxi]

...I'm sure that they would let you do whatever you want, Luna...

Although why you'd want to do more exams than you have to is beyond me...

[weezlibxi]

This is all seriously fucked...

[angiethelionheart-deactivated20]

That is a horrible thing to say, Ron!

[weezlibxi]

Oh calm down, Ang. It's funny.

Besides, if the professors were really worried, I would already be back in The Burrow, not here.

[weezlibxi]

This is all seriously fucked...

[draconis-perfectus]

Ah, well, you see Weasley, Granger told me about this study they did, some sciencewists or something? Yeah, it turns out that the way to teach stupid people and monkeys and stuff like that is through repetition. Apparently if you do or say something over and over and over again, it sinks-in even though the thickest skulls. So I figured if I kept repeating myself, eventually even you would get the point.

And hey! It seems to be working, look at that!

[weezlibxi]

I'd like to get something through your skull. Not so much a concept, though, as it is my trainer.

[weezlibxi]

This is all seriously fucked...

[edgy-marietta-deactivated201507]

Who said anything about the school closing?

[weezlibxi]

Well, if this petrification business keeps up, they'll have to close, won't they?

I mean, I don't reckon they can keep open if the students are in constant danger of being frozen like that. They'll have to send us home!

[weezlibxi]

This is all seriously fucked...

[draconis-perfectus]

Oh, trust you to think that’s a bright-side.

I suppose that’s the only way you can really expect to pass to the next year though, hmm?

[weezlibxi]

Yeah-- I'm stupid. Super clever, Malfoy.

I'll have you know that I'm still doing perfectly fine. Same as I was the last fucking time that we discussed this tired subject.

Change the song, would you?

[weezlibxi]

This is all seriously fucked...

Although, I suppose that if we end up having to close the school, we don't have to take exams...

[longbottom-ed-deactivated201407]

I overheard something.

[longbottom-ed-deactivated201407]

McGonagall and Pomfrey were saying it wasn’t a boggart that Petrified him. They don’t know what it was, but they seemed worried.

Kenneth will be fine, once the mandrakes are ready. But whatever attacked him, it could attack someone else.

[weezlibxi]

Seriously?

Fuck. That sounds grim. What else do you reckon we can find out?

I mean, if we're not safe, they have to tell us eventually, right?

[longbottom-ed-deactivated201407]

I overheard something.

News on Kenneth, actually.

[weezlibxi]

Yeah? What'd you hear, mate?

[weezlibxi]

Oi, Johnson!

[angiethelionheart-deactivated20]

Far too long, Ron. But I have faith that the professors are doing everything in their power to treat Kenneth as quickly as possible.

I went to the hospital wing the other day, and trust me, it’s not something you want to see. It was…I can’t even begin to describe it, but it was horrible.

[weezlibxi]

Well, yeah. Of course they are.

It's just... how d'you reckon it happened? Truly, I mean...

[weezlibxi]

Oi, Johnson!

...Doesn't it seem to you like it's taking a while to un-petrify our fellow lion? I went up to see him this morning and Pomfrey wouldn't even let me in...
