Has anyone seen my planner?

[alt_percy]

I ordinarily wouldn't use the journals for this, but since the train is leaving Hogsmeade station for hols in less than an hour, it's a bit more urgent. I can't find my planner anywhere. This is exceedingly distressing. I never misplace it--except for now, obviously. It has my schedule, Prefects information, and all my notes, and I need it back as soon as possible.

If anyone finds it, please let me know. Leatherbound with a Gryffindor lion embossed on the front cover, with my name inside. Thanks very much.

HAHAHAHAHA! Who needs a planner during hols? What're you gonna do, Perce, put yourself on a schedule to get through every one of Mum's projects so you won't slip up and miss doing something?

7am Beat carpets
8am Sweep steps
9am-noon Spread compost
1:30pm Wash up lunch things
2pm Hang out laundry
3pm Ask Mum what's next

Crikey! Whatever will you do without it?

Do I really have to point out the obvious? I have OWLs coming up, Ronald, and I wanted to get a great deal of studying done. Those notes are essential.

[alt_ron]

Did you get it back before we left?

[alt_percy]

No.

[alt_ron]

Wait.

[alt_ron]

Wait. Wait. Wait.

You're gonna get out of helping Mum, aren't you? 'Sorry, Mum, I have OWLs to study for. I really wish I could help you wash the windows, but I just haven't the time, what with all this really important revising I've got to do.'

Hmph.

Don't be ridiculous, Ronald. Mum isn't a slave-driver, and no, I don't intend to scarper off on whatever chores she has for us. It's harder for her and Dad to keep up with the house, you know, since most of us are off at school. But I'm sure I'll be able to help out plenty around the Burrow and still get my revising done, too.

(If only I had my blasted notes . . .)

Hmm, I may have seen it.

Would it have a full page of 'Percy Weasley, Minister of Magic' scribbled over and over in it?

[alt_percy]

. . .

I believe the description I gave of the article should be sufficient to identify it. If you have seen it, tell me where it is, if it is still at the school? Perhaps I can figure out some arrangements to secure it so that I can have it when I get back. At the very least, knowing where it is would relieve my mind.

The most interesting part in your planner was your three-part plan.

1. Become Minister
2. ???
3. Profit

What's the second part of your brilliant plan, Perce? Can't hardly object to the last part of it.

[alt_percy]

I've come to the discovery that when you descend to a certain level of ridiculousness, the best thing is just to ignore it.

Have a good holiday, Clearwater.

[alt_penelope]

So are you saying that you don't want your planner back? I'll let everyone know.

[alt_percy]

. . .

Obviously, I want it back.

I repeat: have a good holiday.
