Oh, for God's sake.

[belette_rouge]

Honestly, Perce. It's his house, after all.

[percyignatius]

I'm rather fond of Section 2 for that reason, myself!

[belette_rouge]

Perce, dearest, don't you think Sirius has been through enough for one year without having arcane laws thrown at him? The place was full of beheaded house elves, for Merlin's sake! I really think you ought to just let him put it behind him, once and for all..

[percyignatius]

I'm perfectly willing to let him put it behind him once he has fully realised the error of his ways. Though I daresay this notice should properly ensure that it does not happen again, don't you think?

(PS. These laws are not arcane. My references are perfectly up-to-date, I'm pleased to say.)

[lupindymion]

I would advise you to stay out of things that really aren't your business.

[percyignatius]

It is merely a statement of the fact, and being a representative for the Ministry of Magic, I do believe it is my business to ensure that people are made aware of proper laws and precautions.

After all, where would we be without fire and safety regulations?

[slytherinsqueen]

How very interesting.

[percyignatius]

It is, isn't it? I'm glad you think so!

[notslytherin]

You actually went and looked that up? Wow.

[percyignatius]

I wanted to make sure my information was correct, yes. It's never safe to assume.
