ORDER ONLY: Private Message to Sally-Anne and Ron

[alt_pansy]

I think I nearly fainted when Crabbe walked by me in Charms today. I'm still trying to catch my breath. It's like he'd lent his robes to a troll. A troll who'd died a long time ago from eating too much cheese.

Honestly.

I think I might have to start spraying perfume in his general direction for the good of Hogwarts. It's like we're in third year all over again.

I feel sorry for Harry and Draco. And the poor house-elves who have to launder his things. Maybe they decided to stop in protest?

[alt_ron]

Third year, yeah. Only, I think Crabbe and Goyle already smelled foul when we started as firsties.

Just figured they came out of an especially stinky cabbage patch, y'know?

[alt_pansy]

No kidding.

[alt_ron]

Wait. Hang on.

You don't think Crabbe's got a stink hex on his badge, do you?

[alt_sally_anne]

Don't tell him, if you think he does.

I don't think HE'S noticed he reeks. You've only got two days to get rid of the hexes, right? (Well, unless we want to give him a leg up in the standings.)

[alt_pansy]

Maybe they're all tricky like that, so you don't notice it yourself, and other people have to point it out to you?

Or he's just really dense. And doesn't have the ability to smell.

[alt_ron]

I haven't started stinking, have I?

Or anything else embarrassing.

[alt_sally_anne]

No!

Only, it just occurred to me, maybe you should fake a hex. Like cast a bad smell hex on yourself, because that way no one will try to steal your pin. (You haven't noticed anything, have you?)

[alt_pansy]

That's a really brilliant idea.

[alt_pansy]

Not that I've noticed. Not any different from usual, at least.

Joking, tuna brain.

[alt_ron]

Maybe one of you should cast a fish lips jinx on me.

Or, no. Actually, not that. It would muck around with what Dumbledore and I are doing.

But, yeah. It's a brilliant idea. Just need to think what would look like a curse but not be one.


Ugh. I wonder if mine could be cursed, but nothing's really showing yet. I need to read up on revealing spells, I reckon.

Or ask Dumbledore. He'd probably know.

As far as fake hexes go... I'm trying to think of something that would be obvious enough that everyone would think you were hexed but wouldn't actually inconvenience you too terribly and all I'm thinking of is Crabbe's stink hex, which -- surely they wouldn't cast two. Besides, you don't want to have to reek until Friday.

[alt_pansy]

Maybe you could start getting really forgetful, leave your satchel everywhere?

[alt_pansy]

I think I might be able to pull off pretending like I have stomach issues or cramping or something.

[alt_ron]

Well. I'm pretty sure I won't be trying to steal Crabbe's badge, anywiz.
