Regarding the Prat

[alt_gredforge]

As for the unfortunate incident which has befallen our most beloved older brother, we would like to say

We had nothing to do with it.

We were in a detention with professor Acton, which lasted the whole evening.

That is not to say, however, that it isn't a corking good prank! Congratulations to whoever pulled it successfully.

It wasnt you? Really? I thought for sure it was!

As flattered as we are by the suggestion, not all mischief at hogwarts is due to us, you know. Admittedly a great deal of it is pulled by us, but there are other masters out there.

This is George here, just popping in to say that I had nothing to do with the detention, it was all Fred's fault.
He corrected Acton in the middle of class and she gave us both a detention. Which is completely unfair, as I had done nothing. Of course, when I brought this up with Acton, she said that she didn't care and gave us both an extra detention for questioning the teacher.

I don't think congratulations are in order. I'm thinking something more like a Howler.

What your mother means, I'm sure, is that we'd like to take you at your word, boys, that you weren't involved in this little incident tonight. I'm sure the Headmistress will get to the bottom of things--she's quite good at sorting them out.

And don't think that protesting that you couldn't have been the ones responsible because you were in detention will do much to restore yourselves to your mother's good graces.

I am not at all certain I believe you. Do I have the pleasure of addressing Weasley Quartus or Weasley Quintus?

Bravo, you two.
