He's not...entirely reasonable right now. I sure hope people leave him alone today. But they probably won't, worse luck. I'm sure there will be lots who think it's funny.
Whoever hexed him like that, that was really foul.
I just heard. Well, sort of. Some people were laughing about it before Charms started, but they stopped once they saw me looking. So I don't know everything, but I know enough.
It's really, really awful.
Is there something we can do between classes to help? Would walking and talking with him the entire time stop him from having to say it?
I don't want him going to the Great Hall again if he doesn't have to if it hasn't worn off by lunch or dinner. Maybe we could get food and go outside?
It's horrible. I was with him the first time he blurted it out. His ears turned so red that I thought they'd burst into flame and he looked just horrified enough to die.
And once people hear of it, you can bet they'll be coming up and speaking to him, just to hear him repeat it.
I'm trying to convince him to let me bring him his lunch out by the lake, but he's being stubborn and saying he'll eat in the Great Hall with everybody else.
I'm sure the Protectorate can get along perfectly fine without one day's journal entries from one of its loyal subjects. If it's better for that subject to take a break to allow his temper to cool a little.
If I let him keep it, you'd be screeching about him using impolite language.
But how did they do it? Seamus didn't sit near us during breakfast. I've wondered if he'd hexed Ron in his sleep, but Ron was just fine when we were getting ready this morning, before we went down to the Great Hall. But it must have been done during breakfast.
Someone hexed Ron so that he has to say 'my parents couldn't buy me brains if they wanted to' to everyone who speaks to him.
It's wretched. I think it was probably Patil and Finnigan. And they've spread the word so a lot of people are going out of their way to speak to him. So in Care of Magical Creatures today Draco asked him if he knew what time it was and Ron said, 'My parents couldn't buy me brains if they wanted to, get bent Malfoy.'
Brutka didn't think it was very funny, at least, he forbid anyone to speak to Ron once he realised how it worked, he said it was a distraction from the lesson.
Is there some way we could do something dreadful to Patil and persuade her that it was Finnigan who did it? Even if she thought he did it accidentally. Or at least arrange to place the blame on someone who isn't Ron (or me or Pansy or Neville). Someone who deserves it.
Of course--of course I won't send him a Howler! Ron shouldn't have to worry about that on top of everything else. Well, not that I'm giving him a free pass to take a poke at his classmates, mind! But I won't send a Howler, even if he does.

And I thought she'd grown up a little this term, but I guess not. Ugh. Double-ugh.

Date: 2010-09-14 08:40 pm (UTC)Well, in that case...perhaps it is for the best that he's not writing anything today. That was clever of you, dear. Thank you for looking out for him.
