Does NO ONE listen to prefects anymore?

[alt_percy]

I have not been around the common room the last few evenings as I've been busy in the library working on my project for Ancient Runes. To my intense annoyance I discovered this morning that Fred and George ignored what I told them on Monday and brought that dog, that unauthorized MONGREL, into the common room. No doubt it has been infesting the furniture with fleas.

As soon as I talk with Professor Macnair, that dog will be OUT. Unfortunately, however, I've had difficulty locating him (Professor Macnair, I mean, not the dog, who has been painfully evident). The Professor has not been keeping his usual office hours this week, so I didn't find him this afternoon, although he's been there, of course, in lessons and at meals.

There is too little attention paid to keeping the rules around here sometimes, I think.

I don't think the dog has fleas. Haven't seen it scratching or anything.

Not really

If the dog has been "painfully evident" why didn't you notice him for two days?

And he does not have fleas.

Well, I admit I was distracted before today. Evident today, anyway. Which is more than enough.

What do you see in that misbegotten whelp, anyhow?

What do you not see in him?

He's adorable. He's really smart. And we've always wanted a dog.

Dogs are pesky nuisances that will chew on things, dig holes in gardens, and destroy the furniture.

And it's against the RULES.

He's not a puppy. He behaves better that you.

As for breaking the rules- so?

You'll be hearing from Professor Macnair.

ooooooo, we're so scared. Trembling in our boots, we are.

We're supposed to listen to prefects?

Huh. Go figure.

[alt_gredforge]

EXACTLY!

[alt_gredforge]

And what's with your obsession with fleas anyway?

You sure you don't have them yourself?

[alt_ron]

I did see him scratching earlier.

[alt_gredforge]

We are going down to Mr Lupin's tomorrow, to introduce him to the dog.

Maybe while we're there we should ask him about getting a flea dip for Percy.

Brilliant.
