What the--

[alt_percy]

One hundred and twenty-five points?!

How in Merlin's name could Gryffindor House lose 125 points in a single hour?!

Comments

[alt_gredforge]

well it sure wasn't us. We've been in class all afternoon, like good little boys.

Wonder what whoever-it-was did. Must've been quite something, if a whole 125 points were taken off. Our record is only 50pts off each.

[alt_percy]

I'm not stupid. Being in class never prevented you from losing points before.

[alt_gredforge]

Well... no, but we swear, it wasn't us. And the entire third year potions class can attest to that.

Well, we did lose ten for lacking a proper studious attitude, showing up unprepared for class and completely ignoring step five in the brewing process (causing our potion to explode), the usual, but nothing as extravagant as 125 points.

[alt_neville]

I'm really sorry.

[alt_percy]

You, Longbottom? One hundred and twenty-five points?!

[alt_neville]

Um, ten were Ron's and fifteen were Seamus.' It was Transfiguration class.

[alt_ron]

Take it down an octave, Perce.

[alt_ron]

Don't let him get to you, Neville. It's easier that way.

[alt_percy]

Well, I'm glad that only ten of them were yours, Ronald.

[alt_neville]

I feel so stupid. Everyone's going to hate me.

[alt_percy]

And the rest of the points, all one hundred of them, were yours?

[alt_neville]

Like I said, I'm sorry. Remember that conversation we had last night?

[alt_percy]

I do. Well, if it was Transfiguration, I suppose that explains it. Unfortunately.

I trust that next time you'll take my advice and not interfere in things that aren't your business.

[alt_neville]

I don't know. I'm not sure I can promise that.

I just hope there won't be a next time.

[alt_draco]

Hahaha. Sorry, it has to be said. Hilarious.

[alt_ron]

Gee, thanks.

[alt_ron]

Not everyone, Neville. Not your friends, anyrate.

It was bollocks, really. The whole of it, anyone in that class knows it was. Or they should.

[alt_gredforge]

no they won't hate you. If you read the above comment, we have also lost 100 points in one go, and no one hates us. At least, no one who is not in slytherin hates us.

and ten of your hundred was ours from potions.

[alt_ron]

I hope so too, but if that kid's involved again, I'd rather hope you did just what you did, Nev.

Even if it means ditching me with naught but a pair of Slytherins and a comic.

[alt_ron]

What, because keeping 100 points is better than helping save someone's life?

Reckon you need your priorities looked at.

[alt_neville]

At least it was the new comic.

[alt_percy]

I'm not saying--Ron, there's no need to over-exaggerate the situation.

[alt_ron]

I'm not the one going off all over Neville in the journals, Perce.

Besides, Im not exaggerating Neville told me what the nurse said, he'd have died if it waited til morning.

[alt_ron]

And lets not forget the Bertie Botts. Added bonus right there.

[alt_neville]

I'm not sure we should talk about it anymore, really, Ron.

Anyway, Percy, I know I lost most of those points because of how I did in the class. I'll work harder in there, honest.

[alt_neville]

Well, that's a relief.

Sort of.

[alt_percy]

I had no idea--I didn't realise--well, of course, points aren't more important. I wouldn't wish any such dire scenario, and I'm sure Professor Carrow wouldn't want to lose his assistant.

Well, as you say, let us hope such a thing doesn't happen again.

(Or perhaps, if it does, you might consult a prefect first?)

[alt_percy]

Well, then I suppose I'm glad that we've managed to brighten up your evening.

[alt_harry]

Rough luck, Neville.

[alt_draco]

Nice to know how much you appreciate my generosity, Weasley.

[alt_draco]

I don't hate you. You've made me laugh for nearly half an hour today.

[alt_ron]

Er. Thanks again?

[alt_draco]

I don't recall you saying thanks the first time around, but very well.

[alt_ron]

Was a bit off my best behaviour with Neville dashing off like he did, I s'pose.

So, thanks then.

[alt_draco]

You're welcome.

[alt_neville]

I'd like to say 'thanks,' too. I'm sorry I left so abruptly.

Under the circumstances, I can't exactly begrudge you the laugh.

[alt_draco]

Quite sporting of you, Longbottom. Too bad you missed out on the comic, as I've since lost it.

[alt_harry]

No you haven't. I nicked it from where you hid it under your mattress to read again. Neville, if you want it you can read it after me.

You need to find better hiding spots, Draco. I know you.

[alt_draco]

Harry, Gryffindor's only get ONE chance to read Martin Miggs. It should really go to Pansy or Teddy next. Well, they might have their own copy but still, our housemates should get the next crack if they want it.
