I know that everybody is going to want to talk about what happened last night

[alt_harry]

but I just want to say, what am I supposed to do with a Mudblood?

He slept at the foot of my bed last night and it was gross. I told him he wasn't allowed in the room any more but now he's just sitting at the foot of the stair.

What should I make him do?! Father told me I couldn't have him do my homework for me so.

Well I for one don't want to talk about what happened last night.

You should give him something to do so he stops asking, at least.

Thanks for pulling me out of the way when the troll fell, anyway. I could have been squished flatter than a piece of parchment if you hadn't.

Who's that kid that Harry's talking about? His father . . . gave him to Harry??

[alt_draco]

Ugh, he splattered me with something when he hit the ground, and I think it came from his nose. Anyway you're welcome.

He's a mudblood and Harry owns him now.

[alt_neville]

Wow. Seems strange to think of being given another person. What's he going to do with him?

[alt_draco]

People are give house elves sometimes, it's not much different. I don't know what Harry will do with him, though, especially since house elves already provide most of what we could possibly need. I guess the Lord just wanted to give Harry something special.

I think he was going to make a speech about how I was a good birthday pressent and so he wanted to give ME a pressent on his birthday.

I said thank you of course. I don't want to sound ungreatful.

[alt_pansy]

It's hard to think of you as a "birthday present".

[alt_neville]

That's . . . that's special, all right. I guess.

I think Harry's wondering that same question.

I'm down in the common room and he's sitting on the stairs leading up to Harry's dormitory and staring around with this weird grin on his face.

Harry, maybe you could lend him to Longbottom and let Longbottom think up something to do with him? Then he'd at least be in their common room instead of ours.

[alt_harry]

I'm coming down to tell him to go to Honeydukes for us now.

[alt_sally_anne]

Oooh, Honeydukes, what an excellent idea. Are you sharing what he brings back?

[alt_harry]

Sure, he brought back loads, I can't possibly eat it all! Come find me after supper and I'll give you some.

[alt_sally_anne]

Wizard! I'll be there. Any chocolate?

[alt_harry]

If you like Frogs!

[alt_sally_anne]

I LOVE chocolate frogs!

[alt_neville]

Uh, no. No thanks. No offence, but the Lord Protector gave him to Marvolo, didn't he? I wouldn't want His Lordship to be offended 'cause he's waiting on me instead.

Besides, I wouldn't have any better idea what to with him.

(He does seem sorta eager to please, doesn't he?)

[alt_harry]

I've tried that. I wonder what he'll do. I'll go down and check. I don't want to be stuck up here hiding all morning.

[alt_draco]

Can he be sent to Honeydukes, you think?

[alt_harry]

That's brilliant!! Wait, let me ask him.

[alt_dennis]

Master Harry has asked. I will go.
