Apology

[alt_neville]

The jinx finally wore off so Fred and George Weasley reckon it's finally safe to give me my quill back.

I must have insulted thirty or forty different people. I can understand if some of you don't want to talk to me ever again, but I just wanted to say, I'm awful sorry.

well, it's not the same, not exactly. he didn't tell you to do anything, did he? not directly.

[alt_neville]

No. No, he didn't.

[alt_terry]

that's Imperius, if the caster tells you what to do. but the jinx did make you do something you didn't want to do.

boot heard, back in the camp, that jinx is one of the things they teach them first to train them, so they can go on and learn Imperius. same class of spells.

[alt_neville]

And that's why you think I don't have to say I'm sorry? But I said awful things.

[alt_terry]

You said it to mr marvolo yourself

[alt_neville]

Said what?

[alt_terry]

you said 'at least I'm not mean'

[alt_harry]

It isn't like Imperius! It isn't the same thing at all.

[alt_neville]

No, I reckon it's not the same thing as Imperius. Not exactly.
