My resumé looks terrible. (Enough about that.) So is attendence at the Prefect meetings lately, those of us left just played Exploding Snap until McGonagall came in and gave us a lecture about the whole thing. It wasn't a total waste, though -- learned that she's a mean Exploding Snap player, don't let her looks fool you or anything. Man

Tie-dye?

... Oh, Eddie.

[ofthetrade]

Is it really that much of a crime?

Eddie

[but_not_lost]

Will there be marijuana lots of open love involved?

Jediah

[ofthetrade]

If I said yes, Jediah, would you consider joining us?

Eddie

[but_not_lost]

Yes. I would bring Mandy as well.

Jediah

[ofthetrade]

You're no fun.

Eddie

[_lipstuck]

Ew, please not tie-dye, that's so bad and you're really not that fashion-challenged and I'd hate to see you make mistake like that...

Well, I'm told I won't be paying much attention to what I'm wearing all the herbs, you know... and I'm not sure how much more painful it is than what I'm wearing now ... but I'll keep it in mind!

The Exploding Snap was a reason to be at the meeting. I don't understand it; I've never missed one in 2 years. But perhaps that's because you're Head Boy and you pester all of us until we go.

I always thought Prefects were a stodgy lot ... now I know they are, but the meetings have gotten steadily better throughout the year. And you're a very good player yourself, I wasn't expecting that last move you pulled.

(I'd defend myself against the charge of responsibility, but it might be a lost cause. Damn.)

Eddie

[padmavarne]

Yes, they've gotten better because so few people attend.

That sounds terrible. I just meant that it's given us a chance to get to know each other better. And thank you - I find that people usually don't expect me to be so underhanded, and then use that to my greatest ability.

You're Head Boy for a reason. I really wonder about next year; I'm sure Hermione Granger has Head Girl wrapped up in a bag already, but I don't know about who her counterpart could be.

- Padma

[ofthetrade]

It really is, though. Now I sort of remember half of your names! Lovely feeling, that.

Everyone keeps telling me that, but they never tell me the reason. That may be for the best.
Hmm, future Head Boy? ... Well, the standards certainly have lowered, but you're right, I'm not entirely sure who it might be.

Whatever a hippie commune is, or tie-dye for that matter, it sounds like fun.

Jeanette

[ofthetrade]

It does, doesn't it? I almost wish I were serious; at least it's more exciting than looking at the Help Wanted section in The Daily Prophet.

I trust your day's going better than it was last time?

Eddie

[_hiddenpassion_]

Yes, a good deal better.

It is a shame you weren't serious. I can't imagine that looking for help in a paper would be very fun at all. I bet you'll get a good job though -- who wouldn't want to hire the Head Boy to work for them?

Jeanette

[ofthetrade]

I'm glad!

Me too. Well, except that Anthony is insufferable during long trips, the sod.
We-ell, we'll see. I hope that's what's going through my anonymous and as-of-yet-nonexistent employer's minds.
