The Domestic whatsit act didn't pass, praise Zeus. I can't help but think, though, that the damage has been done. Eloise lost one of her students and Terry had to endure Azkaban and Hermione's cat was molested. More to the point, we now know that the wizarding world isn't as progressive as it's pretended to be ever since the war ended. There

Sermonise all you like. It means I don't have to, something for which everyone will thank you. Not that I mean to stop agitating every chance I get. The fucking nerve of those people, trying to hijack the Ministry under the pretext of economic reform - and coming very close to succeeding. It's not good, not at all.

Anyway, I haven't borrowed anything, and I don't think Ron has either. I hope it wasn't something important?

[pottersfield]

It was too close. Close enough to leave a nasty taste in my mouth.

Yeah, I think you could describe it as important. Very important. Fuck. It's not around here, or else the summoning charm would work.

[orestes_bride]

At least everyone with two eyes and a functioning brain knows how things stand now. I like peace and quiet, but when it slips into complacency that's when we need to start worrying.

Was it very long ago that you used it last?

[pottersfield]

I used it this summer, but I don't really need it like I used to. But I do need it. You know what I mean.

The thing is, that trunk is carefully warded. And yet none of the wards show any change except for a relatively small one that alerts me to the fact that something in the trunk has been moved. I just now noticed it today, but it's possible it was triggered a while ago.

I'm getting careless.

You know, all things considered, I really don't care that much. I just want my books back and for the entire world to be hit with iron bars across the headparts until the brain damage wipes memory of my middle name. I think that a memory charm just won't make up for that one, you know.

[pottersfield]

If you say so, but even without the dementors I wouldn't wish Azkaban on anyone but my worst enemies, of which you're not one. Also, I don't recall your middle name at all, which means I'm either generally oblivious or the entire world just got the iron bars.

[laufeys_son]

Yes, well, someone obviously thinks it has a use and would wish it on people, which is why it still exists, no? Even these days.

Whatever.

And I always knew I had powers I didn't know about.

[pottersfield]

I suppose it does have a use, but I feel pretty strongly about that place. Force of habit. Especially since there are some people who should be er... nevermind. I've got the sermon thing going tonight, but I have a feeling that's not really your thing.

Yeah, well that's exactly what they feared, isn't it?

The Ballycastle seeker must complete rubbish if they had to use a fruitbat as a diversion against you lot.

Surprised it took you so long though. Or did you just decide it was cool to start showing off again since it's not a World Cup at stake and the Cannons will never rate as a team?

[pottersfield]

Actually, it took me "so long" because I thought the chasers could use the practice since they don't seem to fond of it. The new keeper said she wanted a workout, too. Plus, I knew I'd catch the snitch first. Prieto was a different story.

So why are you coming around to rub my nose in your great quidditch limelight, Puce? I won't be facing the Falcon's seeker for a while yet, you know. Relax.

[adrians_wall]

Since when do I need a reason to talk quidditch with a former teammate?

But if it's a sore spot with you, I'll happily gloat ask about something else-say whatever it was that's gone missing that has you so upset.

[pottersfield]

You know, I typically enjoy these exchanges in which you think you are being sly, or devious, or whatever it is that makes you the second-rate Slytherin amongst your kind. But tonight I think I'll just tell you to fuck off and leave it at that.

[tonksadora]

What've you lost? Sounds valuable. Can I help?

[pottersfield]

Valuable, yeah, but it has more sentimental value than anything. I don't really know if I need help yet or not, but I'll get back to you.

[lee_journo]

They stole my radio!

[pottersfield]

The inspectors?

[lee_journo]

Actually they took my wireless because apparently having Magical items in a muggle building is forbidden. I've since replaced it.

[pottersfield]

What I've lost will be a lot harder to replace.
