Prefects meeting tomorrow

[alt_percy]

Tomorrow night is our regularly scheduled Prefects meeting. If you have any concerns that you think might best be addressed by representatives from the four Houses, please, by all means, mention it to one of your House Prefects, and we will then take it up as a matter of discussion. We have managed to resolve many House problems in this manner, so don't hesitate to speak up! It gives us great pleasure to use our problem-solving skills on your behalf.

To any Gryffindors in particular reading this, please let me assure you that I will do my utmost to assist you in any way that I can because I am an arse.

Oi Percy do your ears turn red like Ron's when you're embarrassed? Or laughing really hard?

[alt_neville]

I've never really seen him laughing hard. He's not really the type.

I feel kind of sorry for him. I remember what it felt like when--He doesn't know what he's doing now, but he's going to be really red-faced tomorrow. And he does try to be a good Prefect. Even if he does give more advice, sometimes, than most people want.

[alt_percy]

Mostly when I'm angry, really. Rather a blotchy sort of red, most unsightly. Why do you ask?

[alt_sally_anne]

Just curious.

Does everyone in your whole family have red hair?

[alt_molly]

Yes, we do, Ms. Perks. And some of us have tempers to match. Especially when someone has been having fun at the expense of one of our own.

Order Only

Molly, dear, I realise you're upset, but for Merlin's sake, don't take it out on the girl! Remember the position she's in as a half-blood; you may frighten her more than you know if you imply you are going to start throwing your weight around because someone has been teasing Percy.

He's a big boy, he'll get over it.

Re: Order Only

[alt_molly]

You're right, of course. Curse my wretched temper . . . anyway, I've added a bit of an apology.

Re: Order Only

Never fear, Molly. I've removed the hex and given him something to encourage sound sleep tonight.

(I added a bit of temper tonic to the draught in hopes it might do him a bit of good when tonight's folly dawns on him tomorrow morning, though I'm not sure anything could really help much.)


I trust you will be able to sleep: we don't want you relapsing, Molly.

Re: Order Only

[alt_arthur]

Thank you for looking after our boy, Poppy.

I've resorted to a dribble of Calming Draught in Molly's evening tea (with her permission, I'll add). I hope it will help, for the same reasons. She is better, but she still needs more sleep to entirely shake this thing, and she can't do that if she's fretting all night.

[alt_molly]

I'm sorry, dear, I take that back. I'm upset, yes, but not with you.

[alt_sally_anne]

I'm sorry Mrs Weasley.
