On the menu: roast diricawl, with a side of arsenic bat sauce. Necessitates plucking and twisting off the wings of both. Drawing, flaying and quartering. Surely the blood would be useful for something besides keeping those worthless, maggot-ridden carcasses alive.

I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good

[alt_sally_anne]

Ugh.

Be careful, Terry.

I guess Madam Pomfrey decided she needed to take a look at Alecto while most of us were looking at the mural (that's what I heard today, anyway) and they put petrificus totallis on her to get her into the hospital wing. I think the Headmistress helped. And Professor Raz.

It would've been the perfect time to sneak into her office and look at books except apparently they were in there, probably trying to work out what was making her sick.

[alt_hermione]

I think someone probably already thought of that.

Re: I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good

[alt_lee]

Yeah, Fred and George say there's no need to search her office now.

Re: I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good

[alt_ron]

Hang on. Are you saying the Headmistress searched her office for those books and the twins know about that? What did they tell you, Lee?

And another thing. If they went in there to search and not just to find out what's wrong with Miss Professor Carrow, does that mean Professor Raz is in with Madam Pomfrey and the Headmistress and they're all part of the wand smugglers?

Re: I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good

[alt_lee]

Oh, no, not at all.

Fred and George are just saying that when the Headmistress and Madam Pomfrey were worried about Miss Professor Carrow and confronted her, there was an hour or so in there when her wards were down. Maybe Professor Raz took 'em down, and he didn't get around to putting them up again right away. Probably because Miss Professor Carrow kept him busy, trying to brain him or something. And so while they were hustling her to the hospital wing the twins nipped in there and took a quick look around, see? And got out again without anyone being the wiser.

They'll let us know if they found anything out, but they want to go through their notes first.

My invitation to duel is always open, Amycus.

Order Only

[alt_gredforge]

As much as we'd love to see the git facing the business end your wand, Headmistress, we're guessing you're figuring he's too much of a coward to face you.

[alt_amycus]

You can wait until the day that Mudbloods have wands.

I don't duel with scum.

Order Only

[alt_gredforge]

Oh, the irony....

Re: Order Only

[alt_gredforge]

And yeah, we called it.

He's a coward.

[alt_lucius]

Truly, Amycus, your ability to fixate on the smallest insignificant details is astounding. Did you not expressly charge Minerva and Madam Pomfrey to discover the source of Alecto's infirmities?

And yet now, when they have endeavoured on your behalf--and surely at no small inconvenience to themselves, as I understand the affair--you see fit to berate them for their intervention?

Be glad they have bothered to acquiesce to your kind request. Or if Alecto prefers to save her own decaying skin, then let her do so without professional assistance.

Either way, confine your raving to the walls of your impenetrable fortress; that is why you have one, is it not?

[alt_amycus]

Spreading your fantail to defend two sour biddies, are you, peacock? They're not the allies you need now. As I hear it.

The Wyrm Ouroboros is quick to gobble up strutting peacocks who distract themselves with pecking in the mud.

[alt_lucius]

As ever, your sources of information are as sad as your attempts to bully those around you, Amycus.

Our Lord would hardly care to see you refer to Him in so cavalier a manner. Given His sufferance of your antics it would not be wise to damage the few alliances you may still claim.

[alt_amycus]

Cavalier? But how can it be, when He himself has chosen it as the symbol of our own dear Protectorate itself, the sign of eternity, immortality, infinity? Do you question how He chooses to honour Himself?

(On the other hand, you do know what a peacock symbolises, do you not?)

[alt_lucius]

I question Our Lord on nothing.

Except perhaps what He sees in you that is so endlessly amusing. But perhaps your particular motley is merely the drab colouration of the house sparrow.
