Life is full of surprises

[pompous_prat]

Well I’m prefect.

Yes even I can be surprised. And here I was sure I was in for a detention for telling it how it is.

And suddenly they want me to learn the ropes from ground up in my last year… Curious I tell you.

I expect help. Yes you, fellow Prefect.

Memmy-line I will say this now-no shrieking unless it is in the form of congratulation.

I do not shriek. But I will object to this. Loudly. Why you've been chosen to replace Lestrange is beyond me.

(OOC: Holy cheese that ferret is frightening!)

[pompous_prat]

You do shriek. I've heard you. On numerous occasions. Don't make me list them.

But no objecting, Vance-dance, what's done is done. I now get to be bored out of my mind checking the halls share responsibilities with you. Think of all the time that we'll have to spend together because you, as my fellow Prefect of course, will need to tell me what to do. Granted Dumblebore gave me a general overview but he's such an old windbag... I half fancying in the end that I was being punished-death by boredom! The only good thing about this is the power... But again... I hope Lestrange doesn't strangle me though he's been absent, oddly...

I look forward for your instruction, Professor Vance!

(OOC: Isn't it?! Alistaire and I have been staring at it in half-horror half-amusement!)

[sagaciously]

I do not shriek. Particularly high pitched vocalization of my surprise and horror does not count.

It's a damn shame that idiocracy is not something I can give you detention for. Your duties they are as follows: attend meetings on time, hallway rounds, upholding the high standards of the school via point deduction and addition and generally being a model student. I realize that it's beyond your scope to breathe and do anything at the same time but try. I don't relish having to clean up after your mistakes and hover around you like a babysitter.

[pompous_prat]

I do still beg to differ.

Meetings??... That makes sense but...ugh I have to see those other unworthy ones??!

Oh I am a model student and as we know, Arithmancy IS my forte... addition and subtraction is child's play...will it be ever... Seems like you and I, Vance-ing will have quite a few rounds to do together then perhaps? As our class schedules are almost identical.

And learning from one's mistakes is part of life, Mem-nott, but I promise you I'm a big boy, I can clean up after my own messes.

But there's nothing wrong with babysitting. What did we say about chaperoning before?

[theonlysaneone]

Oh....joy.

(OOC, your mood icon is f'ing hilarious)

[pompous_prat]

Are you dancing for joy yet? beastly-boy?

(OOC: Heh heh I dunno I myself am still torn from being frightened and amused...)

[theonlysaneone]

Pardon me, but I've thrown my back out.

[pompous_prat]

Pity, pity, I'll just have to expect you to do your jig for joy at another date then.

[r_g_lestrange]

Oh, dear lord. You are the one they picked to replace me, damn the school is really in trouble now.

[pompous_prat]

Hey... that wasn't very nice.

You're supposed to be on my side.

In fact, I daresay you are supposed to congratulate me.

But... I am open to any and all suggestions that you may have, oh esteemed Prefect one.

So.... yes... suggestions? Please?

[r_g_lestrange]

Yes it was nice. Do remember I have been your roommate unfortunately since first year. So I know what you are like with being forced to put up with you.

Who ever said I had to be on your side?

Why do I have to congratulate you? So what my temper got me in trouble (I knocked out the Headboy and mouthed off to Dumbledore. I used words that made the old man turn red) and it lost me my badge and secured myself being stuck home two weeks listening to my parents yell at me about everything I have done wrong. YEs, I am a little bitter.

[private: unlockable by Avery] As for advice, don't let THEM (I hope you are smart enough to know who I mean) get away with anything. If they look at you wrong or breath too loudly, give them detention.[/private]

[pompous_prat]

Yes. Seven years. It's a wonder I'm still alive after all this time. And if you must be so glum think of it this way-now they get to have me in all my rambling glory.

And I said you ought to be on my side. More of a request than a demand.

Oh you hit Pot-head Potter?? And you said words to make the Headmaster turn red?

[Private: Unlockable by Lestrange]
Can I give you a medal? Please??? You hit golden-boy Pot-head?! Is there a picture? Can you make a Pensieve?

Oh what I would do to frame that!

While I'm not sure if you think it's worth it or not for all the trouble you went to... Cor, I wish I'd seen it. Ha, no wonder he's been complaining about a headache. I can only hope you did him some brain damage too.

But no being bitter. Put some sugar in your tea. You were just engaged! This ought to be the happiest time of your life. And congratulations on that front by the way, you're a lucky man. Though I do sometimes think she would kill me if she had the chance.And thank you for the advice. It's all be duly

[la_dilettante]

Oh, Ally Staire, I'm so very pleased! Thank goodness they've picked you; I was afraid they'd choose someone awful.

I'm shrieking with joy; can you hear me in your dorms? Now I have someone interesting to sit and gossip with during prefect meetings!

[pompous_prat]

Oh Cissy! Little-Black! Or maybe Narcissa will do? As I said there are too many of you...

Someone awful? In Slytherin? I think they'd be hard pressed to find someone too horrible...

Now if we were in one of the other Houses, well, then I think we'd be in trouble.

And ... yes actually I do think I can hear you shrieking. Quite the lungs you have on you… I am indeed in my dorms. Note to self, never startle or excite the littlest Black for fear of rupturing ear drums...

And yes! I'd be more than happy to amuse you... But do tell me, are the meeting terribly boring?

[la_dilettante]

Either, really. I'm flexible.

Yes, but they might. You never know.

Father says I should be proud of my voca; abilities--it's distinctive. You should hear me sing.

They're run by Gryffindors--what do you expect?

[pompous_prat]

Narcissa then.

And that is true. We are a bunch of snakes after all.

I think you have every reason to be proud of you enormous vocal range and ability. I will agree that it is most distinctive. In fact I daresay I could pick out your voice in any crowd. And I should be very honored to hear you sing.

Hmm. Good point. I hope we'll have much to talk of then. If not, well I suppose you can see just how poorly my artistic skills are.
