Attention, Hogwarts

[alt_gredforge]

As we Weasleys need a lesson concerning the necessity of appreciating our family, and especially our noble pureblood heritage, Madam Umbridge is forc requesting that we make the following announcement:

For the next three days, we Weasleys are to be considered half-bloods, so that we can discover for ourselves and meditate upon the proper stratifcations of the Protectorate society which Our Lord finds so very proper and valuable.

As half-bloods, we are not allowed to acknowlege or associate with members of our original family of origin. Instead, we have been assigned pureblood siblings, and it is to be our solemn duty to serve these siblings, in order that proper precedence may be maintained.

As our blood is no longer considered pure, we are allowed to sit in the Great Hall only if we stay as far from the Head Table as possible.

We will be attending the Basic Defence class for half-bloods instead of our usual Defence classes.

Thank you for your attention.

How...novel.

Well, when the three days are over, there's no doubt you'll understand quite well the worth of your pure blood status.

[alt_bill]

I'm pretty sure they're not allowed to respond to you, Perce. Given the rules they're supposed to follow the next three days about, you know, not having contact with any other Weasleys.

[alt_percy]

Oh.

Of course.

Order Only

[alt_gredforge]

Yeah, we know exactly what our pureblood status is worth.

A fat lot of nothing, you berk.

Or it would be, if the world was a properly run place.

Merlin, Percy.

I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good

He is such a git.

I still don't understand how someone like this came out of the Burrow.

[alt_pansy]

He really isn't that bad, you know. Even though he can say things that make him seem like an arse.

[alt_sally_anne]

Well if you met him while he was clerking for Lucius Malfoy I imagine he was on his best behaviour.

Mum found him under a cabbage plant. And the worms were already after him. She took him in because he looked so pathetic, and anywiz she's mad about babies.

What a prat.

Say. What's this book we're meant to have for Defence? I've got it tomorrow, but I don't have the book. And I'm not asking Finnicky or Thomas to look on with them, am I?

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

I'll give it to you at breakfast. Come by our table. I'll warn you that it's utterly useless and stupid but at least you won't have to look on with anyone.

You'll have to get it back to me before Wednesday, that's when I have Defence and I'm sure I'll get in trouble if I don't have my book.
