Private Message to Zach, Megs, and Sue

I've had to confiscate enough frilly you-know-whats to start my own lingerie shop.

It's bloody ridiculous, is what it is.

The graffiti was bad enough, but I am not getting lined up and crucioed over knickers.

It's not really about knickers though, is it?

[alt_ernie]

Ah, right. It's all deep and philosophical like.

Symbolic knickers.

If you find some knickers which are grey with cunning little black bats on them when the pink frilly charming is dispelled, I would like them back. Because someone went and made them all symbolic and I am VERY CROSS NOW.

I understand what you mean. But I do not think Ernie entirely wants to understand what you mean. Because it would make it rather difficult for him. Because he's supposed to confiscate them. And he does not want to get in trouble with the Headmaster or anyone else.

Though I have not noticed the Headmaster going out of his way to punish anyone about the knickers. Perhaps there are enough other things to keep him occupied at the moment. Because it's not like there's a shortage of trying circumstances around this place ever. Especially... well. It was different when we were firsties and the only things we were afraid of were the squid and the older students, and of getting things wrong in lessons and melting cauldrons and things like that. Wasn't it?

Well, I am supposed to be confiscating them too. Theoretically. I mean, as a Prefect and all.

I'm taking it as seriously as the Headnaster is, after all.
