What? What!? What's going on?

[personal profile] alt_sally_anne 2012-05-25 02:20 pm (UTC)(link)
The headline says 'DOGSTAR EXTINGUISHED.'

There's not much else. Lots of arrests but they don't say who.
alt_neville: (Afraid)

[personal profile] alt_neville 2012-05-25 02:48 pm (UTC)(link)
I think I'm gonna be sick.
alt_lee: (Hmm. . .)

[personal profile] alt_lee 2012-05-25 02:52 pm (UTC)(link)
It doesn't...it doesn't mean them. Not necessarily.

Hey, Nev. The twins say they've got something they might help. They've got a pill they've been working on, it'll make you spew. Uh, sorry. But it'll get you out of class for the rest of the day.

Do you have class now?
alt_terry: (Terry gasping)

[personal profile] alt_terry 2012-05-25 02:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Is that wise, though? Would it be bad for people to think Neville's getting sick at the idea that his parents have been arrested?

Neville, I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I hope--I hope they'll be all right.
alt_lee: (Hmm. . .)

[personal profile] alt_lee 2012-05-25 02:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Uh. That's a good point, Terry. Damn.

Wait a minute.

The twins maybe have another idea.
alt_neville: (Afraid)

[personal profile] alt_neville 2012-05-25 02:56 pm (UTC)(link)
It's a free period.

Nev, we've got something else. A nosebleed nougat. That'll look more like a coincidence.

Can you meet me by the portrait of Ludwig the Lugubrious? You know, on the second floor, on the way up to Gryffindor Tower? I'll get you one.
alt_neville: (Afraid)

[personal profile] alt_neville 2012-05-25 03:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah. Yeah. I can get there.

Tell the twins thanks. I just--I just can't face class today.
alt_justin: (C'est grave!)

Steady on, Neville.

I don't think your parents, what little I know of them, could have been involved with this DogStar business. All those posts Sirius made saying that he doesn't support them, what? And he's friends with your parents, isn't he? So, horrible as this is, I hope they're safe.

They are safe.

Neville, I promise you they are FINE. I know.
alt_neville: (Helpful)

[personal profile] alt_neville 2012-05-25 07:36 pm (UTC)(link)
You know? For sure you do?

Oh...oh THANK YOU. Thank you.

Is it all right if I let Evelyn know?
alt_hermione: Hermione knows what she's doing (Default)

[personal profile] alt_hermione 2012-05-25 07:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes, only don't tell anyone I told you—you can tell Evelyn, only not about me. Okay?

Private message to Hermione Granger and Harry Marvolo

[personal profile] alt_neville 2012-05-25 08:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes, of course. I'll keep your name out of it.

We were so scared. We even wondered whether we should have activated our portkeys. But we knew we could have never come back if we did, and we'd have no idea where we were going. Especially if Mum and Dad had been arrested. I mean...I guess I figure they'd have planned it so we wouldn't have landed in the MLE's arms. But we had no idea.

You did just the right thing, Neville, and I think that you should wait for me to say if you possibly can, I mean, if you aren't in immediate danger, because the portkeys will work even if you're actually WITH the MLE, won't they? So you could wait till they actually came for you and then go, couldn't you?

I'm glad we did the right thing. I wouldn't want to make things worse. And yeah, I want to stay at Hogwarts.

It was just hard. Not knowing.

I know we have to...to show everyone we're unconcerned. Mu Gran explained that. No matter what people say, we have to put on a show that we think that my parents are nothing but the lowest scum and blood traitors and all. Usually I can do it. Well, usually I manage it by just keeping my mouth shut and not saying anything.

I just discovered today it's a LOT harder to do if you're really afraid. And you don't know what's going on.

Dinner will be easier. I can pretend better as long as I know they're safe. So thank you for that.

I'm so glad we've got this lock. So you can use it to get me word through the journals if we need it. If we ever have a day like this again.

I hope we never do.

[personal profile] alt_ron 2012-05-25 08:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Hullo, you.

Feeling any better? Anything you want when I come up?

Er. You're in the tower or the hospital wing?
alt_neville: (Serious)

[personal profile] alt_neville 2012-05-25 09:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah. Yeah, I am.

I'll come back to the tower. I'd really appreciate it if you go with me when I go to dinner.

I've got a feeling there might be some nasty stuff said, and I could use some friends around.

[personal profile] alt_lee 2012-05-25 09:04 pm (UTC)(link)
I'd be willing to back you up, mate. And the twins will come, too.
alt_ron: (Default)

[personal profile] alt_ron 2012-05-26 02:55 am (UTC)(link)
We were glad to do it, y'know. Back you up, I mean.
