Order Only

[alt_gredforge]

So we finished our first day of classes and went for dinner and after a couple of hours getting a jump on our essays, we thought we'd check our journals.

And here we were thinking that grownups had such uneventful lives. Dreary, dull and humdrum, even.

Not today, apparently! And now you're off to party at 12 Grimmauld Place, and you didn't even invite us?!

In other eventful news, the Dream Team was actually split up this afternoon, much to our consternation.

Fred made it into the NEWT Potions class, but George didn't.

I'm sure Mum and Dad would vastly prefer it if your lives would remain as uneventful as most grownups do.

[alt_arthur]

Yes, indeed.

[alt_gredforge]

Ah, but you lot aren't like most grownups, are you?

[alt_molly]

I'm afraid we're not.

[alt_bill]

Are you really disappointed about NEWT Potions, George?

[alt_gredforge]

Well...I am, and I'm not. It sucks that I put in all that work, and I don't get to take the class. On the other hand, I don't have to put in the work of taking the class.

Although we've been toying with a couple of other possibilities.

[alt_bill]

I'm almost afraid to ask.

[alt_gredforge]

We're used to collaborating. We can go over the material together, so we'll both pick up a lot. Anyway Fred can concentrate on Potions, but George now has an opening in his schedule. Which maybe he could use to drop in on some of the gatherings that Professor Dolohov is hosting for seventh year students.

[alt_molly]

I don't like that idea one bit.

[alt_arthur]

Nor do I, I must admit.

[alt_gredforge]

Yeah, we figured you wouldn't. But you should think about it. Wouldn't you like to have a sort of Order spy, who can report back and tell you what he's saying to the older students?

[alt_bill]

You said you were toying with a 'couple' of possibilities. What else are you two devious little wretches plotting?

We ARE identical twins. Sometimes even our dear old Mum can't even tell us apart. That suggests possibilities, doesn't it?

Re: Private message to Bill Weasley

[alt_bill]

What, you mean you'd take turns going? To Sluggy's class?

Re: Private message to Bill Weasley

[alt_gredforge]

Sure, and share notes. We're used to studying together, and looking over each other's essays. No one can tell our handwriting apart, either.

Re: Private message to Bill Weasley

[alt_bill]

Merlin, it sounds like a scheme with all sorts of possibilities for mayhem.

Re: Private message to Bill Weasley

[alt_gredforge]

We like mayhem!

Re: Private message to Bill Weasley

[alt_bill]

Don't be idiots. Mayhem in Potions class you don't need. Sluggy would give George a safety precaution, and the next class Fred, who never heard it, would blow his cauldron sky-high. What would you do about testing on potions you never brewed? And what if you get caught?

Re: Private message to Bill Weasley

[alt_gredforge]

Aw, people just generally laugh when they catch us switching places.

Re: Private message to Bill Weasley

[alt_bill]

Not when you're talking NEWTs Potions class, they don't.

Wait a minute....you're talking just about Sluggy, right? You're not thinking of trying to double-cross Dolohov, too?

Re: Private message to Bill Weasley

[alt_gredforge]

Interesting idea! Thank you for suggesting it.

Re: Private message to Bill Weasley

[alt_bill]

You're not going to do it.

Re: Private message to Bill Weasley

[alt_gredforge]

Oh, aren't we? Why not?

Re: Private message to Bill Weasley

[alt_bill]

Because I'll tell Mum and Dad about it. AND Minerva, if I have to.

Re: Private message to Bill Weasley

[alt_gredforge]

Oi, why would you go do that?

Re: Private message to Bill Weasley

[alt_gredforge]

That has to be a violation of the Weasley Code of Brotherly Conduct.

Re: Private message to Bill Weasley

[alt_bill]

Because Dad and Minerva are your superiours in the Order, that's why. If you try to mess with him, I will personally nail your arses to the wall for even thinking about it. After Mum and Dad and Minerva are through with you. If there is anything left of you, which I doubt.

I've learned stuff about Dolohov that you don't know and you are not going to try to fuck around with him.

Re: Private message to Bill Weasley

[alt_gredforge]

Oh.

Okay, then.

[alt_arthur]

I'll have to think about it, boys. And talk with your mother.
