I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good - Private Message to Justin

[alt_hydra]

Well... Harry agreed to lend me the cloak. And he never really asked why or what I needed it for.

But I feel a bit terrible. He told me that it used to be his Father's and I could tell that it was really hard for him to give it up without knowing what it was being used for.

And we're using it to sneak me into your dormitory so that we can be alone.

At least I know that nothing bad will happen to it, but I feel a little guilty, just the same.

Hullo,

I'd a feeling he would do. I'm well glad, even though I'd no idea it was that sort of heirloom, either, what? But I say, we'll take special care. And after what you told me about how Pansy showed Draco the secret room but it didn't cooperate, what, I don't think we've any other choice if we want to be comfortable Saturday.

Saturday! I can't believe that's just the day after tomorrow! Are you still resolved not to wait? If I'm absolutely honest I'm a bit nervous--I mean to say, I don't want to wait any longer, either, but suppose I should do something wrong? I just want everything to be perfect for you.

I've been thinking about the plan, what? I think I ought not to hang about the entrance hall after everyone's gone but if the cloak's that precious, perhaps you ought to put it only at the absolute last moment, so you'll wear it as little as possible. In which case, I say, I think we ought to meet at the kitchen corridor and once the way is clear, you can throw it on until we're through to my dormitory.

What do you think?

Special care, yes. I just hope that we're not tainting it, somehow, by using it for such activities. Though I suppose I'm not worried enough to turn back now.

Haven't people been doing this since the beginning of time? I'm sure nothing will go wrong. And everything else we've done has been - well, it's all be perfectly lovely, as you know. So I'm sure it will be perfect with this, too.

Meeting in the kitchen corridor is fine by me.

From,
Hydra

It's only the once and what Harry doesn't know shan't hurt him, what?

I'm glad. That you've been pleased so far, that is. But don't blame me, what, if a boys' dormitory isn't all you've imagined it would be. (I say, I hope Bobby doesn't leave his Quidditch kit out like last Saturday!)

It's certainly difficult to be enthusiastic about anything else, now that Madam Umbridge has taken over everything.

Right, well, I've just nodded off three times over the same paragraph. Between Astronomy last night and how incredibly boring the Defence reading is....

I say, I never thought your uncle a bad sort but not having him in lessons--well, I'm glad Harry's been running the Defence revising sessions. It seems like that's the only way half of us are going to get any practice at all before O.W.L.s.

I have to hope she can't last long. Once Professor Dolohov is well again he'll surely lead the others to get rid of her. I say, that's a strange thought!

Sweet dreams,
