wintery visits

[peterxy]

 So it goes.

Sadde doesn't come up with a good idea for a club for most Slytherins. Their intersecting interests seem to lie in the vicinity of "Pureblood club" and that's something Sadde will not support. They haven't managed to befriend all firsties, but their consistent association with the Ravenclaws coupled with helping people out pretty consistently has gotten most people to give them the benefit of the doubt. The trickster-ish streak does mean people are a bit confused about them, though.

Older Slytherins are still pretty resolutely against Sadde, but that's not too bad, and it's only been three and a half months.

(Also, Sadde has managed to not ask Miranda about her plans for a month and a half. Even if the curiosity is eating them inside.)

And Winter Holidays are next week.

He flips some pages and sighs. "I wonder if there's a book specifically about this? This one moves on from Patronuses after listing the famous people." Pause. "Isn't Hermione Granger in school? Maybe she could help."

[chanuphis]

"She is, yeah. I guess we could ask her."

[mrwoods]

"I wonder if she'd want to help a Slytherin," he asks wryly.

[chanuphis]

"I can ask her if you're worried."

[mrwoods]

"Worried is not the right word, more like 'resigned to the fate I've chosen.' Especially because she's a Gryffindor. I don't know her, I don't know how likely she is to deviate from the pattern here."

[chanuphis]

"I don't know her personally," shrugs Miranda. "But she was a major player in the war. Might have a grudge against the entire House and the color green, might not."

[mrwoods]

"...now I'm thinking about pranks involving the colour green and Gryffindors."

[chanuphis]

Sigh.

[mrwoods]

"Hey, I'm almost reformed!"

[chanuphis]

"You are?"

[mrwoods]

"Yeah! I only prank older years!"

[chanuphis]

"So by 'almost' you mean 'you will be all the way reformed in 2004'."

[mrwoods]

"It sounds so bad when you put it like that."

[chanuphis]

"I wonder why."

[mrwoods]

He clears his throat. "Anyway! Let's get back to the subject."

[chanuphis]

"Sure, sure." Miranda writes down Gold Coast and casts again. Mist.

[mrwoods]

Sadde hmms again and casts again and mist! Okay, that's an improvement.

[chanuphis]

"What was that one?" she asks, pen poised.

[mrwoods]

"This Christmas."

[chanuphis]

Scribble scribble. "Get good stuff?"

[mrwoods]

"Not really, I mean, more than usual, but mostly it was the spending it with you and visiting Karen."

[chanuphis]

"Ah, how materialistic of me." She adds in brackets "[social components]". In her own column she writes getting the braiding charm to work and casts again.

Fog.

[mrwoods]

"What was that?" asks Sadde, who does not read Miranda's notebooks.

[chanuphis]

"Getting a spell I'd been looking forward to doing to work. The hair-braiding one."

[mrwoods]

"Ooh. Let me try something like that..." Try. Nothing. "Hm."
