The colossal hoax of clocks and calendars, it seems, cannot be defeated by plumes of pink smoke signalling the close of summer. The latter having been aided by the unique stench smell of rotting tropical fruits, however -- well, it's an advantage that can't be denied.

Should anyone have an extra copy of The Daily Prophet, I'd be grateful if one ( Read more... )

The smell wasn't so awful when I was laggered and swimming in Chloe's bathtub.

I can owl one to you. We've been encouraged to keep in touch, or something like that. I don't know.

But was it more the effects of the alcohol, or whatever you put in the water? If this happens often, I'll need to keep this in a Bubble-Head Charm or else chuck it into the nearest river keep a window open.

I recall hearing something similar; nine months of the year is sufficient for me, but I'd appreciate the paper independent of any (further) forced interaction.

I don't remember; I'm sorry. And I have a feeling it will be happening often. At least she's not the head of your house. Be thankful.

I can do that. Further interaction will not be necessary.

Nah, it sounds like you were preoccupied with more important things. And that's true, although as this class is mandatory, the perks seem negligible, at best.

Thanks.

I quite like the pink smoke.

spareboot March 2 2008, 01:56:14 UTC

The air of festivity is certainly a point in its favour; I only wish it were an unscented air of festivity.

playingcupid March 2 2008, 01:58:44 UTC

But it's feminine. You like that stuff, yeah?

spareboot March 2 2008, 02:01:41 UTC

I know you like your euphemisms, Karin, but this line of unsubtlety seems unnecessary.

How much is it worth to ya?

spareboot March 3 2008, 12:10:59 UTC

Whatever you're thinking, you know the answer is "no".

competitivewin March 3 2008, 12:13:32 UTC

I'm the one who says no, Boot. 'No I will not make out with you.' 'No I will not dump Potter for you.'

But yes, as someone who acknowledges your incredible devotion to me, I'll send you a prophet. The Quidditch bits stay here, but you can have the rest. It's not like my Dad reads the other shit.

.... Yes, Winifred. My unspoken desires just leap from the page, don't they. The sexual tension might be limper than this head of lettuce that is the only thing to eat in this entire fucking flat soggy parchment, but nonetheless it's completely transformed me.

Irving's sending me a copy, actually, but thanks for the offer all the same.

I almost gagged the first time the smoke thing happened.

spareboot March 3 2008, 22:41:08 UTC

At which point I should assure you that one gets used to it -- unfortunately, I have yet to experience that threshhold of tolerance.

smithami March 3 2008, 22:42:19 UTC

Oh no. Is there any way to turn it off?

spareboot March 3 2008, 23:06:59 UTC

Say you've lost the book and take the fail mark for the term; it's worth the trouble No, Boot, do not corrupt the youth If there's anyone you feel particularly cross with at the moment, I recommend accidentally leaving it in an area they frequent.

The last student who tried to tamper with the professor's alert system, however -- well, I'm sure you've smelled heard that story, so I wouldn't try anything drastic.
