Padma? Do you think you could look over my Transfiguration essay before I copy it over? I mean, I'm going to copy it out again, anyway, but this way if there are any things I ought to change, you could tell me?

If you're not busy, I mean.

You've not finished it yet? Blimey, Corner. It's due tomorrow.

[alt_padma]

Maybe for you it's due tomorrow, Smith. For us it's due Thursday. Professor Carrow reminded us in today's lesson.

And yes, Corner, I can look it over, but not until later. Find me in the common room, all right?

[alt_padma]

By the way, is there some particular part you're having trouble with?

[alt_michael]

I guess...how the object can be twice the size without needing twice the volume? I mean, that's maths, isn't it? (Then again, I'm pants at maths.)

[alt_padma]

No, it's not maths, but it is commutative theory. It's easier to explain in person, though.

I'm on my way back from Future Interrogators and we can talk about it.

[alt_michael]

Right, I forgot about Future Interrogators. I thought you were with P somewhere else.

[alt_blaise]

Honestly, Corner.

No wonder you didn't come out for the play. Can't handle it this year, can you?

[alt_michael]

Wot? Of course I can handle it. I've got til Thursday!

And plays are for poncers.

[alt_zacharias]

Too right.

[alt_daphne]

Really now, I thought you were more discriminating and cultured than that, Smith. I'm quite sorry to see that I was wrong.

[alt_blaise]

And yet you need Patil to fix it up for you? Tell you what things you ought to change? You'd better hope Professor Carrow isn't reading this.

Patil know you think plays are naff? Besides, who are you calling a poncer? Draco? Harry? Sandoval? (I'd take a look around if you're in your common room right now.)

[alt_michael]

I don't think asking the year's top student to look over my essay means I'm not up to it, or that Professor Carrow would think so, either.

Plays are all right for girls. You'll not catch me in front of a load of people like that, wearing makeup and singing and stuff. That's well naff! Give me fantasy Quidditch or Exploding Snap over that, any day. Or camping. Something well rugged.

[alt_blaise]

So you think we don't like Quidditch? Draco and Harry? Do you even watch them play? Oh, but you just like fantasy Quidditch. Right. Because that's WELL rugged! Snap, too.

I'd have thought a Ravenclaw would have made a better job of side-stepping, Corner. You didn't just ask Patil to look over your essay. You asked her to tell you what to change. In Slytherin House, we do our own work.

And whatever you think of plays, this one is our chance to show our loyalty to the Protectorate. That's what you're calling naff.

[alt_michael]

No, Slytherins would rather sit round twisting other people's words to say whatever suits them. Or get someone else to do their work for them!

[alt_blaise]

You take that back, you dirty lying worm.

[alt_penelope]

Oh for -

Zabini, that's enough. There's no need to challenge Corner to a duel or anything.

And Corner, it's your choice to participate in the play or not, but you might want to think twice about your reasons. As to your last comment, for your sake, if you're going to make accusations like that, I hope you have some evidence you can proffer - and if so, you should speak to Professor Slughorn about it at your earliest opportunity.

Now both of you, I'm sure you have some more productive way to spend your time.

[alt_blaise]

Thank you, Clearwater. You're right, anything would be a better use of time than conversing with the likes of him.

Private message to Blaise Zabini

[alt_draco]

Hey, let's talk before light's out, yeah? I'm not going to stick my broom in it now that Miss Perfect Prefect has shown up, but Corner's out of line and we're going to set him right.

Re: Private message to Blaise Zabini

[alt_blaise]

Too right.

I'm done here anyway. Be there soon.
