alt_harry | Could I get some help

There are three people who need to be seen in the Hospital Wing and one of them can't walk well at all. Could someone come help me, please, I'm just outside of Professor Sandoval-Pennifold's office.

Ron, Honoria, and Juliana Bradley.

Because I wouldn't call the Ministry and ask for another identification card saying I was a pureblood.

Sally-Anne, Ron has a -- I don't know, his eyes rolled back and he -- he's in worse shape than people usually are after they've been crucioed. Can you come?

From:

alt_sally_anne

That's a seizure.

I'm on my way. You should write to Professor Desai and ask her for some of the special palliative the council uses. For Ron, I mean.

From:

alt_harry

Sandoval cruciated Ron four times. The seizure was the last time.

From:

alt_sally_anne

Tell Desai that.

From:

alt_poppy

Do you know the Mobilicorpus charm? That would allow you to levitate Mr Weasley safely for transport. You'll need to watch that he doesn't jostle or bump into obstacles along the way.

Do get him to the Healer as quickly as possible.

Can the other two walk?

From:

alt_ginny

Wait. But Finnigan said -- THAT'S why she wanted Honoria and Juliana to come to her office?

I HATE HER. I HATE HER SO MUCH.

From:

alt_harry

Ron's trying to stand up, is the thing, I'm a little worried if I use Mobilicorpus he'll thrash and hurt himself. I think he wants to feel the floor under his feet. He's just having trouble moving his legs.

Honoria and Juliana can walk.

From:

alt_pansy

I'm on my way too.

From:

alt_harry

I understand that you have some doses of a special post-cruciatus palliative that's used by Councilwizards.

If you could send some to Ron Weasley tonight I think he'd appreciate it. Professor Sandoval-Pennifold cruciated him four times (and Honoria Sandoval and Juliana Bradley twice) because we had a disagreement over my identity parchment. (Sandoval and I did, I mean. Not me and Ron.)

From:

alt_savitha

A disagreement, Mr Marvolo?

What exactly do you mean by this?

From:

alt_poppy

Try Petrificus Ameliorum, first, and then--did they teach you the spinal levitation in CCF? That would give him the sensation of being supported rather than floating. But if you don't know it, just use a lightening charm and carry him.

From:

alt_harry

My identity parchments say that I am a pureblood. I am not a pureblood. I'm not going to carry papers that say I am.

Ron really had nothing to do with this other than that he's my friend. Honoria and Juliana...I guess they were convenient targets.

From:

alt_savitha

I see.

Thank you for letting me know. I will certainly send some palliative to Mr Weasley.

From:

alt_justin

Harry,

I say, I'm nearby. I'll come.

You do realise, of course, that had you come to me with this problem -- were I still your Head of House -- I would have simply sent your identity papers back to the Ministry and directed them to deliver them to you at Buckingham.

I am not even the slightest bit concerned what identity card you carry, or refuse to carry, my dear. After all, you are Harry Marvolo, Son of the Lord Protector. Whether your papers say that you are a half-blood, a pureblood, or a three-eared krup with yellow spots and a forked tongue, you will never be stopped, questioned, fined, or harassed for walking about New London after the half-blood curfew, because everyone recognises you, and everyone knows who you are.

Identity parchments are rather beside the point for some of us, hmm? If you choose to never carry your card, that's really your privilege.

From:

alt_savitha

Perhaps, my dear, after you return from your holidays, you might consider moving back to your proper House.

Certainly your friends will be less likely to wind up at the wrong end of Lana Sandoval's wand if she's no longer your Head of House.

From:

alt_sally_anne

We got them to the Hospital Wing. And it's Haruman Patil on tonight -- he's really quite good.

From:

alt_harry

I'm sorry.

I mean --

I know you didn't want me to back down. And that made it easier.

But I'm still sorry.

From:

alt_poppy

That's a mercy.

I'm sure he'll be all right once he's got a good restorative in him, but I wish a thousand torments on that woman. May she find Healers scarce when next she needs one!

From:

alt_ron

Yeh I no

Snot s bad actully or th potions rilly good

Think is the potion

nywiz Sokay

Only I keep thking I should be gtting btter at taking Cruco

but i dont

eithr I wet mself or bite m tngue in half or have a wotsit

a wotsit

lik tnite

From:

alt_molly

Bill just came and woke me up to tell me. To keep me from the shock of reading it in my journal alone tomorrow morning.

Thank you for getting him help, Harry. And Sally-Anne, I know you'll do whatever you can for him.

Tell him...tell him to write me a note when he's able to put quill to parchment. But please also tell him I won't complicate things by raising a ruckus with the staff over this. I trust all of you to be doing the best you can.

From:

alt_gredforge

You said it.

That utter bitch. And no, Mum, we're not apologising for language this time.

From:

alt_harry

Seizure.

I don't think it ever gets any easier but I'm never going to find out because Voldemort doesn't want me cruciated so instead they go after my friends. Or anyone standing too close. I mean, Juliana Bradley? What's she ever done other than be a half-blood in Gryffindor?

The minute she called you in I knew what she was planning and I didn't know how to stop it, but I knew I couldn't call the Ministry like she wanted and tell them I was only joking when I said I'd only carry it if it said I was a half-blood.

I wrote to Desai for the potion and she told me she thought Sandoval was being ridiculous. Because who even cares what card I carry, I'm Harry Marvolo so everyone knows who I am. And

She's right.

From:

alt_molly

Language is the least of my concerns right now.

From:

alt_harry

I mean she's right that no one will ever actually look at my card.

Even if I make them give me a card that says the truth about me.

No one will ever care, other than me.

I let her cruciate you. Four times. And no one's ever going to even look at this stupid card.

From:

alt_george

I'm glad you can be there with him.

Tell him we owe him a pint, and he's never been the sort to let us off the hook when we promise him anything. So we fully expect him to be up and about soon, yeah?

And tell him we're bloody proud of him.

From:

alt_ron

Tru nuf

Cuz you burnd it

Kinda brlliant tht

Thnk you burnt her desk to!

Heh

From:

alt_ron

sTrue tho

Theyr not going to watsit

enfrce

eforce the curfew fr you

but that doesnt mean it doesnt mean nythin wen you stand up t them

I think it does

I men SPs going to tell her friends or hr hsband or smebody, an theyll thnk abot why you did it

Imean theyll prolly think you wer being daft but still theyll no and theyll wnder

An

er

I had smething els

uh

oh, Bradly and Hnoria

an me

we ll tell peple too

loads of them

an LSPll just look evil

Imean rilly

dead awfful

but poepll hear wat you wer trying to do an theyll think

From:

alt_harry

I hope you're right.

From:

alt_harry

I wish that when I stood up to people, I was the one who got hurt.

Maybe I'd decide it wasn't worth it. I don't know. She cast a stinging hex on me before she called you in and that just made me angrier.

From:

alt_ron

Well, see? Yeh thats wat it does. Makes you angrier.

Crucio prolly mor than a stnger even. Imean I can tell y Honoria's hackd off well an truly

Proper hackd off

An thats worth somthing

An her freindsll be hacked off too an loads of peopl who just hear about itll think its awful an d itll be one mor reason theyll be hackd off at the Minstry for being stupid about this whole curfw thing

Im just saying tonight mattered mor bcause we got calld in than if youd just burnt a hole through SPs desk setting your card on fire

From:

alt_ron

So

Watdid Dovs say?

From:

alt_harry

He said, 'thank you for telling me' and then sent me back to Gryffindor.

From:

alt_harry

Desai told me if she'd been my Head of House tonight and I'd refused to take the card she'd have just had it delivered to Buckingham because why would it even matter.

And then she told me I ought to come back to Slytherin because my friends would get cruciated less often.

From:

alt_harry

I'm not going back, though.

From:

alt_ron

Thats all?

Ha

He-

Ha

From:

alt_ron

Yeh dont do that

No matter what she says

From:

alt_harry

Yeah.

Well, also he was concerned about you. I told him I'd asked Desai for some of the special palliative and he said 'oh, good.' I think if I hadn't, he'd have sent you some.

From:

alt_ron

Thats sort of the difference between Desai and SP

in a nutshell

innit

From:

alt_harry

Well.

Desai's a Slytherin.

That's the difference between Slytherins and Ravenclaws, I guess.

From:

alt_ron

Too bad you did

This stuffs dead amazing

Would like t see what itd do without the crucio first!

Or yknow

Itd be good to have sme on hand for next time

From:

alt_harry

Also he wants me to come see him tomorrow.

So we'll see. But

I'm pretty sure he won't drag in my friends and cruciate them in front of me.

Because for one thing, I think he knows it won't work.

From:

alt_harry

Well, you could ask Mr Snape. Apparently he's the one who developed it.

From:

alt_ron

Ha

Yeah basically thats it!

Its exactly the difference between Patil, say, and Sally Anne.

From:

alt_ron

Yeh

Sooner or later theyre all going to get that memo

From:

alt_harry

There is also the fact that Patil's a horrible person and Sally-Anne's a decent one. But yeah.

Slytherins know not to pick fights they can't win. Sandoval couldn't make me pick up an identification card and carry it out of her office. And I knew she couldn't, when I picked that fight.

(So, maybe I learned a few things spending all those years living in Slytherin. Although maybe a real Slytherin could have talked her out of cruciating you and Honoria and Juliana.)

From:

alt_harry

Dolohov sent a PM to Sandoval.

Maybe that's what it said. 'Dear Lana. Cruciating Harry's friends in front of him doesn't work anymore. Try something else next time.'

From:

alt_ron

Excellent idea.

Shame he didnt have that idea a while ago

Or one of the others

Imean if he's the one that developed it we couldve had it all along

which wouldve been bloody useful

yeah?

I spose theres some dangerous side effect that happens one in forty million times and they decided its too dangerous to risk us getting wotever frm it? Smetimes I wish they wouldnt protect us so much from the stuff thats never going to happen and start giving us practical stuff thatd be actually useful yknow?
