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.

Oh for crying out loud.

I'd ask if you were kidding, but you wouldn't. Not about something like this.

That has got to be the most utterly RIDICULOUS punishment she's given out yet.

What ho, Fred and George,

I say, this little social experiment sounds most interesting. As one who, as you know, is eagerly awaiting the confirmation of my own change in status, upon completion of O.W.L.s, one might say I am conducting the same sort of exercise over a longer term, what?

I wonder if you might be willing to share some of the observations you have made or shall make over the course of the next few days. I say, it's well true that walking in the shoes, as it were, of another, may be the best method of coming to understand that person's point of view.

In fact, one can only imagine what might happen if every pureblooded wizard were to spend three days or a week being treated as if halfblooded. Or even muggleborn, I daresay! It should be most instructive to all, I should think.

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.
