I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good

[alt_ron]

You know, I almost didn't go to dinner tonight. It just seemed, meh, y'know.

But I'm so glad I did!! That was dead awesome!!

So it was you, wasn't it, George? Fred?

That was the BEST thing EVER.

You came in after the banner rolled open, didn't you? The twins weren't there, either. I think it might have been Lee who did it. Padma just kept eating, not even realising, except that people were laughing, and then when the trumpets sounded, she dropped her fork and looked up, and THEN she saw it.

I didn't know she could turn that red. I could practically see steam coming out of her ears, like she'd taken Pepper-Up potion.

Why, what happened in the Great Hall tonight? I left dinner early to go revise.

ENEMIES OF THE HAIR, BEWARE!

Pansy and I are still laughing. When no one's looking at least.

[alt_luna]

There was a trumpet serenade. And a banner and a lot of streamers, making whizzing noises.

[alt_percy]

A very poor joke, if you ask me.

[alt_hannah]

Well, I don't get the joke, I'm afraid.

[alt_neville]

It's what the banner said. Um, ask someone who was there.

Except better not ask a Ravenclaw.

[alt_luna]

Oh, I don't mind telling you if I see you, Hannah.

I rather admired the lettering on the banner. It was quite sparkly. Whoever did it is really good at charms.

I though it was pretty clever, some of my best work, if I do say so myself.

Why thank you, I really like charms. It also helps to do it for someone who really deserves it.

[alt_harry]

It said ENEMIES OF THE HAIR, BEWARE!!!

Which is really pretty funny. Padma can't take a joke though. I bet she'll be very, very angry. But she ought to laugh because it was funny.

YOU ARE BRILLIANT.

Re: I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up to No Good

[alt_ron]

You're the BEST, Lee.

Dead brilliant!

Re: I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good

[alt_ron]

Yeah, I guess I came in just about then. People were roaring and Padma was turning purple.

It was dead smart to have Lee do it. You weren't there, and the twins weren't there, and Percy was talking to Sandoval when it happened, so she can hardly blame him. And Ginny was reading a book and taking notes at the table, so I haven't heard anyone guess it was her. Guess that your whole family's off the hook, even if Padma was saying it must have been a Weasley that hexed her.

Was it Lee who hexed Padma in the first place, by the way?

[alt_susan]

It kind of was...but, still, it was sort of mean too. Even if it was Patil

Re: I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up to No Good

[alt_gredforge]

No, that was us. We nicked her comb from her bookbag, and after hexing it, slipped it back in. She didn't notice, and she probably didn't use the comb till that night, so she has no way of knowing (or proving) that it was us.

Its rumoured that her shrieks the next morning woke up half of Ravenclaw tower.

Order Only

[alt_sirius]

Enemies of the HAIR, beware? Oh, that's beautiful, that is.

Any idea who did it, Minerva?

Re: Order Only

[alt_mcgonagall]

I have my suspicions -- but I have no intention of looking into the matter too closely. It's rare enough that we see a display of purely youthful high-spirited practical jokery! I'll save my worries for the real malefactors, thank you!

Re: I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up to No Good

[alt_sally_anne]

You are brilliant too! Both of you!
