Our 'Punishment'

[alt_gredforge]

Hello all!

Undoubtedly you have all heard of our adventure last week and all about our punishment. Well, it might not look like this to you, but we saw this as a golden opportunity. We had to do something with all those matchsticks after all, the question was what?

Here is our answer-






Yes.

We have made a replica of Hogwarts castle. Isn't it beautiful.
Umm... Professor McGonagall, do we really have to change all the matches back? Couldn't we just turn the castle silver or something, we don't want to ruin all of our fine, hard work.

Boys, I'm sure that is NOT what the Headmistress had in mind.

Order Only

Oh, Minerva. I was reading my journal and when I saw that, Arthur and Ginny came into the kitchen to see why I was laughing so hard (and I really needed the laugh, too). Oh, how priceless. Trust them to turn punishment and disgrace into something as extravagant as that.

It's not going to set Carrow off, though, is it?

[alt_gredforge]

Well we did exactly as she asked, 10,000 needles into matchsticks.

We don't really see the problem here.

[alt_gredforge]

Why, we even did more than she asked, so we just don't see why everyone's so upset!

Where have you got it? Can I see?

order only

No, but it's dead clever, that. I can't think of anything Carrow will hate more, but they're right: they've done the assignment. Well, half of it, anyway, and I'm sure if they think about it for two shakes they'll realise how to transfigure the whole thing back, even one at a time, without it falling apart.

Better prepare yourself, Molly. I've a feeling those two really are going to be more trouble than the entire International Confederation of Wizards at World Cup time. Possibly more useful, too.

I know. I swear, they'll turn my hair completely white before I'm fifty.

Well, it's partly your fault, Molly. True, they had to use Transfiguration to change all those needles into matchsticks, but I'll wager anything they pieced that castle model together using some rather advanced charms. And that's an affinity they got from you, I dare say.
