Private message to Harry Marvolo and Hermione Granger

[alt_draco]

Okay, I've been looking at this thing all day waiting for something to happen. I know you said it was for secret messages, Harry, but what sort, exactly?

Are we meant to use it to take the mick on Bumbridge behind her (huge) back?

Or - Granger, since you helped come up with it, does that mean were meant to use it to summon her to us with fresh biccies and tea and things?

No, somehow I doubt that.

So Pansy's got one and Sally Anne and Hydra and who all else, exactly?

Yeah, I get that Pansy and Sally Anne and Hydra all decided who would get the coins, and they were thinking about this "criterion" - but look, how can they know for sure? I mean, what's Hydra thinking... her boyfriend traded France for... And Lovegood, does she even know her own last name, half the time?

I'm sure you know what I'm implying here.

I know what you're implying, yes.

Hydra's boyfriend traded France for Hydra, mostly. I think maybe you should talk to your girlfriend about why they're all trustworthy. Sir.

[alt_draco]

It's probably more important that you know why they're trustworthy.

Though I suppose that's for Harry to tell you. Which I'm sure he has.

But anyway - I'm the one that Pansy chose to include. What would she know about Sally Anne and Hydra's choices? Unless they told her, which I suppose could be. I'm just surprised that either of them know enough about Lovegood or Bones to know how they really feel about certain things, is all. Unless what Remy is saying is true and Hydra really is a legilimens.

Hm, well, I'm not sure about that but don't Lovegood and Bones go to Pansy's Teatime? So perhaps she's got to know them through that.

[alt_hermione]

Let's just say that the people with coins have all studied the works of Sinbad. Does that help?

[alt_draco]

Oh, brilliant. Him again.

And I already knew that about Pansy and Harry, of course.

So, what. How did everyone figure THAT out about each other when I wasn't paying attention?

[alt_hermione]

I really think you're making this more complicated than it is.

They're all mates. They all socialise outside of lessons, through one connection or another.

That's really all there is to it. But if you want to know more you should ask Miss Parkinson.

[alt_draco]

I socialise with all sorts of people in this school and I only trust two of them.

So yeah, I think I will ask her.
