[The screen blinks on quite suddenly, and Percy looks into the camera, apparently confused. It should be immediately apparent that he is Not Quite the Thing right now: his hair is not gelled within an inch of its life and is, in fact, quite curly; his glasses are crooked; and even though he has his glasses on, his eyes aren't quite focusing.

[well, isn't this a treat. Percy Weasley, ripe for the mocking.]

And what in the world have you done to yourself this time?

[im_head_boy]

[:(]

I think it was. That wasn't very nice, Mr. Malfoy.

[alphaophiuchi]

[such a sad face.]

Mr Weasley, can you name five instances where I've been nice?

[im_head_boy]

[Mouth status: |

...no.

[alphaophiuchi]

[...well, that was cute.]

That's what I thought.

[im_head_boy]

[:(]

Can you name five times you've been nice?

[alphaophiuchi]

Of course I can. None of them involve you, though.

[im_head_boy]

What were they?

[alphaophiuchi]

...out of curiosity, why do you think I would tell you that?

[im_head_boy]

Sating my curiosity would count as being nice, wouldn't it.

[alphaophiuchi]

But whenever did I suggest that I wanted to change not having done nice things for you, Mr Weasley?

[im_head_boy]

Because you don't like me. Because I'm me.

[alphaophiuchi]

Something like that, yes. You rub me the wrong way. I'd like to say it's because you're a ginger, but I've realised that not all gingers are obnoxious, just as not all four-legged things are dogs.

[im_head_boy]

So then you wouldn't want to sate my curiosity because it would be nice of you.

And some of them are cats. And horses. And thestrals.

[alphaophiuchi]

Something like that. Except I will offer the statement that I've done nice things for the few people I've dated.

Yes indeed. I'm glad you're on top of things enough to know that.

[im_head_boy]

I didn't realize you'd dated anyone.

[He sounds bemused and a little startled at this revelation.]
