More trouble

[alt_harry]

I am in more trouble than I thought I could ever be.

Yes for people who have asked me Its my fault that Slytherin lost all those points. At least Im not like the library mudblood. She's in the Hospital Wing. And Draco has detention! So Im sorry Slytherins.

This morning I have to go to the Headmaster's Office first thing to be shouted at probably. I wonder maybe could I just stay here under the covers. And not go anywhere.

Blimey, Marvolo, what did you do?

I mean, not that I'm not chuffed about the points lost for Slytherins, although Merlin knows I lose enough for Gryffindor that I've got no right to gloat. But is Hermione going to be all right?

[alt_seamus]

Well its good news for us I suppose. We arent in last place anymore. Did you get in trouble for hurting the mudblood? I wouldnt have thought theyd care all that much.

[alt_harry]

I didnt hurt her. We were trying to save this dragon that Professor Macnair was keeping in the hut out by the forest and we tried to let it go, but it got mad at us and H the mudblood tried to get it to go away so it wouldnt attack me and Draco and it bit her. I think they care mostly because it was poisonous and it started turning green and swelling up and also there was blood, it was really gross. And red.

[alt_harry]

I think shes okay. I asked the Headmistress this morning before Mr Malfoy came and yelled at us. She said that the mudblood was being taken care of. But she said she was in the hospital wing. So I think its okay.

[alt_sally_anne]

You lost a HUNDRED POINTS?

What did you DO last night?

[alt_mcgonagall]

You most certainly are, Mr Marvolo.

I hope you shall consider your actions next time.

[alt_sally_anne]

I just read what the Headmistress wrote -- was there really a dragon? A real dragon?

[alt_neville]

And it was a Norwegian Ridgeback?? Those are the scariest ones of all! You could have been killed.

You should have been left in Gryffindor House.

[alt_harry]

Well we werent really sure whether it was going to be a dragon or an egg when we found it.

[alt_harry]

Yes but only a baby one.

[alt_pansy]

Only a baby one.

And I thought I mucked things up pretty badly.

[alt_sally_anne]

Only a baby one? Only a baby one???????




Did you get a good look at it? I've always wanted to see a dragon but I'd prefer not to do it from so close up.

[alt_harry]

Not really it moved around a lot. Mostly I just saw teeth and flapping.

[alt_pansy]

I know how you feel.

I have chocolate frogs if you want.

[alt_ron]

So, hang on. You broke into Macnair's storage, stole a dragon, nearly got someone killed, and all you got was YELLED at?

Crikey, mate, if it'd been any one of us, we'd have got expelled quicker than spit.

[alt_draco]

Nobody was nearly killed, just the stupid mudblood. And she was the one who was holding the dragon's crate so it was her who upset it. We just wanted to set it free, and we shouldn't have gotten caught because, well.. we just weren't supposed to, that's all.

And I have detention for a month, so there was definitely more than just yelling.

[alt_pansy]

Do you not see how galactically stupid you all were? You don't lark about with your father when he's in a Mood, you don't wee into the wind and you DON'T GO NEAR DRAGONS.

[alt_draco]

I know.

[alt_pansy]

Want some chocolate frogs?

[alt_sally_anne]

I'm sorry you got in so much trouble Draco.

[alt_ron]

You got detention for a month. And Marvolo got shouted at.

Nice.

[alt_pansy]

Want to go for a walk by the lake before we eat tonight? I think I can get Sally-Anne to come as well. I wanted to tell you something.

[alt_sally_anne]

I'll come.

[alt_ron]

You weren't supposed to get caught why? Because your 'above reproach' or whatever?

[alt_ron]

Cause I'm sure that a month of dusting desktops for Professor Acton will be such torture. Or maybe you'll polish vials for Professor Slughorn. I bet you won't even have to clean a cauldron.

[alt_pansy]

Having been on the receiving end, being yelled at by Mr Malfoy can be rather memorable in itself.

[alt_ron]

I'm just saying that's not what would have happened if it had been anybody else that did it.

[alt_harry]

I didnt ask people to treat me differently.

[alt_ron]

And, um, yeah. D'you still want to go for a walk before dinner?

[alt_pansy]

Come on. I've got some treacle tart from lunch. And Fergus learned a new trick! Don't dwell on things you can't change. I learned that lesson not so long ago. Things just are the way they are sometimes and Harry's never been pu

[alt_ron]

Treacle tart? Brilliant.

I'm chucking this thing in my trunk, and I'll be there.

[alt_sally_anne]

Was the mudblood killed? I thought she was just hurt and in the hospital wing.

[alt_harry]

No she wasnt killed she's going to be okay I think.

[alt_sally_anne]

That's good. I mean, I expect you'd have gotten in a lot more trouble if she'd gotten killed. Since she belongs to the school.

[alt_padma]

Was it really awful? I think it's been about three years since my dad yelled at me. And that was for playing with mum's wand when she wasn't looking.

But he and mum and Haruman yell at each other all the time, only its different - its because they want him to be a Healer and he doesnt much like it.

[alt_macnair]

Some people are above reproach, Mister Weasley. It's just the way of the world.

[alt_pansy]

It's not right.

[alt_macnair]

You want your young housemate to be expelled, lassie?

[alt_pansy]

No, sir. I wasn't clear. I meant that it doesn't seem right that two wizards are treated so differently.

[alt_sally_anne]

It seems really unfair to Draco

It seems really unfair to both Harry and Draco

It's just the way things work I think.

I wish I'd gotten to see the dragon. From a distance mind you, not close up. Do you think your project with the dragon was working, Professor?

[alt_lucius]

Each of them is being punished according to their stations, but I would hesitate to say that either is above reproach - or even that either of them escaped the same. It is for the Headmistress to carry out the proper assignment of penalty based upon the Lord Protector's instructions for His son.

And you of all people should be wary of inviting His notice right now by suggesting that His son deserves to be treated more harshly.

Or my notice, for that matter.

[alt_macnair]

Poor choice of words for me, then. Still, it's best young Weasley learn not to question such things.

[alt_lucius]

On that, we quite agree.

[alt_seamus]

What happened to your plan not to ever touch this thing again mate?
