Is it true that Harry's mudblood did an erotic strip-tease in 6th year Defence?

If so, I wonder who was responsible.

Whoever it is, perhaps they ought to date Demelza Robins, since they both have a shared interest in mudbloods gone starkers.

I'm glad it's Friday. It's been difficult to concentrate today.

What do you mean, 'responsible?'

I heard that the mudblood is in love with Razzer and tried to seduce him!!!

[alt_hydra]

Harry's trained her too well to do something mad like that. It was probably a spell, maybe Imperius.

[alt_zacharias]

Oh, come on, Midge, no one's that thick, even you.

[alt_hydra]

What do you think happened, Smith?

I'd like to hear it from someone who was there. Who isn't thick.

[alt_zacharias]

Looked like Imperius to me, anyway. She had this mad look in her eyes and, well, I've never seen a mudblood dance and I don't really care to again, if that's what it looks like, but her movements were jerky. And she'd only got her top unfastened before people started trying to make her stop, but she kept on like she had to do it, you know? And she was sort of whinging about it. 'No, no, I have to do it, don't you understand?' Things like that.

And when Daphs and the others tried to force her to leave, she sort of ... fought back. Not like, she was getting violent or anything, but like she didn't want to go.

So yeah. My money's on Imperius.

[alt_hydra]

Yes, sounds like it.

Who do you suppose would want to see such a thing?

[alt_justin]

My thoughts exactly. Whomever it was has shockingly poor taste. It was well sickening.

-Finch-Fletchley

[alt_hydra]

Well, they mustn't have much respect for their peers. Or Professor Raz, for that matter.

To say nothing of Harry.

[alt_justin]

Indeed. And exceedingly bad timing, as well, what. Or perhaps that was the problem: He was running out of time before the deadline.

One thing is certain, which is I'm sure we will all be relieved for a change of scene and a break from the pressures school has brought this spring.

Enjoy your holidays, Miss Lestrange.

-F-F

[alt_hydra]

Chalk it up to desperation and poor planning, then.

Enjoy yours as well, Effs.

Private Message to Hydra

[alt_zacharias]

Which is odd, you know? Because the challenge was to blackmail someone into doing something embarrassing, not to Imperius them to do it.

If it had anything to do with the challenge, of course. And why wouldn't it?


Er. Look. He probably wouldn't want me--yeah, no. Nevermind. Sorry. None of my business, is it?

Re: Private Message to Hydra

[alt_hydra]

Yes, I know. That's why I didn't Imperius Vince and Greg to crawl around all day. They were happy to do it.

Who wouldn't want you what?

Or

Oh.

Order Only - Private message to Hydra

[alt_draco]

Hydra, I see what you're trying to do, but have a little respect, why don't you?

Don't you think Hermione's been humiliated enough for one day?

Re: Order Only - Private message to Hydra

[alt_hydra]

I'm not humiliating her, I'm humiliating the person who did that to her.

Demelza's been completely shamed all day for her confession about the family servant, so if everyone starts looking at Teddy like he's got a weird obsession with seeing Hermione starkers, too, then maybe he'll back off.

Re: Order Only - Private message to Hydra

[alt_hydra]

I didn't think I'd have to explain this to you?

Hermione knows I feel terrible for her right now. We had a long talk yesterday, about Just everything. When she sees the journals she'll know what I'm trying to do. I'm sure of it.

Re: Order Only - Private message to Hydra

[alt_draco]

You had a long tal

I'm not daft - I said "I see what you're trying to do," didn't I?

Re: Order Only - Private message to Hydra

[alt_hydra]

Then what's the problem?

Re: Order Only - Private message to Hydra

[alt_draco]

Wait -

You had a long talk with Hermione because you knew Teddy had something like this planned, didn't you? And you told Hermione and no one else?

Why would you do that?

Re: Order Only - Private message to Hydra

[alt_hydra]

Because it's her life. What Teddy's doing - she should be the one who decides who to tell, and what to do about it.

Watching the whole Order argue about what to do earlier this week, without even asking what she wanted...like they all knew better - it wasn't right.

Re: Order Only - Private message to Hydra

[alt_draco]

Right.

Yes, I can see how -

But she doesn't even seem to be properly afraid of Teddy.

Re: Order Only - Private message to Hydra

[alt_hydra]

She is too afraid. I know that she is. And she knows that Teddy is dangerous, too.

But why are you acting like she's an infant? She's a witch and she can do magic, same as me or you.

And she's more clever than both of us, besides.

Maybe I'm just tired of seeing everyone make decisions for everyone else.

Re: Order Only - Private message to Hydra

[alt_draco]

I'm not acting like anything, Hydra.

What's the point of us all banding together like a load of misfits if we're not going to ask each other advice and turn to each other for help, and nurse our worries and frets as if our lives depended on it? I thought that was the expression of choice around here.

Re: Order Only - Private message to Hydra

[alt_hydra]

We can help each other, yes. That's why I told her she should talk to who she wanted to, for help and advice. If she even wanted it.

We're a load of misfits but in the end we're all alone, too.

Re: Order Only - Private message to Hydra

[alt_draco]

Oh bloody nightshade. You've gone all grim and macabre.

Don't start dressing like your mother, too. Dark colours wash you out.

Re: Order Only - Private message to Hydra

[alt_draco]

Fine. I'll concede that she should be able to make her own choices.

But she's not F-F, Hydra. She doesn't have a fake bloodline to hide behind, nor a body of peers who can protest, in public, about anything that happens to her. As much as we might wish it was otherwise, it's not.
