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.

"It would not generate me a particularly good quality Patronus mist or anything."

[mrwoods]

He grins. "After the panties incident, Arens started locking his trunk. I think he figured a simple Colloportus would be enough to stop the inept muggle firsty."

[chanuphis]

"And what did you do when it was not enough to stop you?"

[mrwoods]

"I left a note inside it saying that he'd never find what I took, without taking anything."

[chanuphis]

"...Okay, that one I kind of like."

[mrwoods]

He giggles. "It took him weeks to figure it out, it was hilarious."

[chanuphis]

"Did he get you back?"

[mrwoods]

"He tried it several times during those weeks, but he's not the most creative of Slytherins and apparently can't imagine a way to get revenge on someone without hexing them. And I think he's still not totally sure I didn't actually take anything."

[chanuphis]

"Well, it'd be hard to confirm either way."

[mrwoods]

"Yep! I'm pretty proud of that one. Also, see, I'm not only just pranking older years, I'm even being kinder about my pranks!"

[chanuphis]

"Well, you're getting more psychological, I'm not sure if that's the same thing."

[mrwoods]

"Po-tay-to, po-tah-to."

[chanuphis]

"Anyway."

Miranda tries more memories, then retries all the ones she's done already. She gets mist and fog, but she does get that much, every time.

[mrwoods]

Sadde eventually finds the class of memories that will consistently produce mist and fog and keeps trying some more of those.

[chanuphis]

Miranda takes notes on their results.

[mrwoods]

Sadde wonders whether she's reached any conclusions yet.

[chanuphis]

Nothing particularly useful, no.

[mrwoods]

Drat.

[chanuphis]

"Maybe we should pick this up another day," Miranda sighs, when she fills her notebook page.

[mrwoods]

He nods. "And maybe try to talk to Spukhafte and Granger for some more tips."

[chanuphis]

"I'll ask next mealtime."

[mrwoods]

Mealtime!

[chanuphis]

Miranda goes over to the Gryffindor table and addresses Hermione Granger, then comes back.

[mrwoods]

"What'd she say?"

[chanuphis]

"She says that practice will help, my wand movement looked right, and we might need stronger memories but that will be about us and not something she can really help with, but if we're still working on it in April she will supervise us for a half-hour and see if she can come up with any pointers."
