The immaturity of some people is frightening.

I couldn't possibly agree more.

Well, good, it'd have been a waste of parchment and ink; I couldn't help but notice the wreckage on the way to class this morning. I don't yet, no, unfortunately. My threats would have been far less vague if I did, but there will be a small investigation if a name doesn't pop up soundly.

I agree. It was probably some penniless rat from Hufflepuff or Gryffindor wanting to lash out at their obvious superiors. They'll pay.

An inquisition?

(Reply to this) (Thread)

Is that what I wrote?

(Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

That is what you wrote. It just has...really negative connotations. Like the Spanish Inquisition.

(Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Yes, it was, so I don't understand the question. I have no power as to what things you associate with particular words, but I'm sure you'll survive. If you continue to feel strongly about this, perhaps you should visit book-stores and cross out 'inquisition' from each one until it's no longer in use and you can feel completely at ease.

(Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I don't really understand what you're talking about now...? I was only wondering why inquisition and not interrogation or something. You didn't need to be so snappy.

(Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

You were clearly put off by my use of the word, as it brought to mind the Spanish Inquisition, yes? I was saying, rather clearly, that that was your own problem. Why? Because I like 'inquisition' better than 'interrogation', obviously.

(Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Well, whatever works. I just asked a simple question and you got huffy on me.

(Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I wasn't huffy, I was blunt.

(Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Okay.

(Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Fabulous.

(Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

HA! Brilliant. Something bothering you, Parkinson?

(Reply to this) (Thread)

Not now. Thank you for showing up, Weasley, you're always good for reminding me that no matter what happens -- life could always be much, much, much worse.

(Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I do that? Wow, I impress even myself.

(Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Good. Now go away and find a nice hole in the ground to pat yourself on the back in for a few hours.

(Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

A British inquisition? That'll be an amusing change.

(Reply to this) (Thread)

And a painful one, should the culprit ever become known to me.

(Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Really?

What exactly would you do Pansy; threaten them until they burst into tears?

(Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

No. I wouldn't.

(Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

That wasn't very nice of them.

(Reply to this) (Thread)

Obviously. I imagine the entire point was to be as far from nice as could be managed with limited artistic ability.

(Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Oh no! That is terrible. Oh Pansy, I am sorry for whoever did that. Don't be too upset, it could be envy, perhaps, or some ridiculous joke. Oh, I do not understand such jokes.

(Reply to this) (Thread)

Yes-- quite terrible, indeed, Li, but I think I am not upset so much as completely determined to have revenge. There is no need to apologise unless you did it; and that, I don't suspect.

(Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Revenge could make it worse. I mean, it will never end if the vicious cycle keeps going around and around. Oh, no, I did not do it! I would not, the original posters were much too beautiful.

(Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Not my sort of revenge. Yes, they weren't too bad, were they? A few too many Fall colours, but I supposed that was a tiny flaw, all things considered.

(Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Oh, well, alright, not really I understand. There were no flaws! Quite exceptional, really.

(Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Good. There were several, but it's fine if you didn't have a sharp enough eye to pick them out. It was only Altus Echelon's first one, after all.

(Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Ridiculous. I spotted a frenzy of second years running away from a poster in the corridor just beyond the library. Someone is drawing people in questionable amounts of clothing on posters and hanging them up. I do think it could be the same guilty party as this incident.

(Reply to this) (Thread)

Oh, Macmillan? More than one victim of a half-wit wannabe-artiste, you say? How nice. It would be a true service to the community to hunt down the little twerp, then.

(Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

It is unbelievably unfunny. I can not spend time prowling the corridors looking for posters that need to be taken down.

(Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

How fantastic you think so! Of course, I agree. Hopefully the offender will not be difficult to find so that that won't become a problem. I'm sure poster patrols is something that would be a time-consuming annoyance for the both of us.

(Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

If it becomes a problem we can certainly talk to the Headmistress, but if we cannot find the dolt person responsible then they may just keep causing a ruckus anyway. Too many other things are time-consuming enough, there need not be more.

(Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

That's true. I do adore the thought of it being an easy search to find my little Picasso Jr., but if that's not how it pans out and the defiled art pieces continue to pile up-- then, yes, of course, that would be the best cause of action. Better to let her deal with it. Instead of Crabbe and Goyle's fists.

(Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Now that is quite immature.

If you dare remove me from the meeting I'd do more than wreck your posters--

(Reply to this) (Thread)

Quite immature? Yes, I'd say that was the general consensus by now.

(Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I'm more offended that someone had the gull to touch them in the first place, nevermind the altered designs. I'm sure it won't be hard finding out who did it, considering someone would have had to have seen them walking about the bulletin boards to do their tampering. I'll get what I want rather easily so, yes, there's no need to be upset.

(Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

(Reply to this) (Thread)

I'm breathing fine!

(Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

It's not that- And the idiocy of this school continues.

(Reply to this) (Thread)

I know, Spinks, it never stops. But I suppose this was bound to happen in some way-- I'm sure Altus Echelon is sneered at by some, less fortunate people. Jealousy, you know. At least it's not too hard to clean up in this case.

(Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

That's bloody brilliant. Where's your sense of humour, Pans?

(Reply to this) (Thread)

I don't see the humour in having my work defiled, Baddock.

(Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

It's not a big deal, Pansy. I can fix them for you in a second.

(Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Pardon-- you think I can't fix them myself?
