Within the book are the pages, and on the pages are the words.

I realise that by posting I once again violate the terms of service of these journals by not, at present, being drunk, French, a pompous overstuffed peacock, or a Malfoy. I also regret not making any grand, cryptic statements announcing yet another public divorce. One of those is quite enough for me, thank you

At least your walking stick makes this neat icon.

I don't understand, either.

[lupercus]

You are a horrible child, and nobody likes you.

My walking-stick makes me look dignified!

Perhaps it is up to us to ask the questions, Harry.

[just_harry]

I know. It wasn't nice to remind me though.

I don't know who to ask. Hermione and I had this funny idea but it won't work but it was really funny.

[lupercus]

It's not nice to call the gimp a gimp, either.

What was her idea? Tell me, I could use a laugh.

[perfectprefect]

Yes, Professor? How may I help you?

[lupercus]

How did Pettigrew escape?

[perfectprefect]

I am afraid this remains a mystery to the Ministry of Magic. For all intents and purposes he should not have been able to free himself from his cell. As you may know, since Professor Black's escape, Azkaban's security has been increased. I daresay it was rather severe even prior to the changes. At this point it would take assistance from one who knows the lay, as it were, of Azkaban.

[lupercus]

What are you implying, Percy?

[wheresmytoad]

Hermione's right; it is indeed lovely to have you back, Professor.

(9How long do you expect Professor Snape will be needing that book? I was looking for it early, for revising for Herbology, and, um, I don't really like to ask him directly. Is there another copy anywhere?)
