[April 13] Let me tell you about rumors [Neely]

on December 28, 2016, 10:47:04 AM

This series of notes were passed throughout the day on April the 13th during classes and in quiet study sessions. 

Jotted on the corners of parchments and their own separate scraps of paper, this is the account of two friends sharing gossip from the previous evening.




Alright, so, first of all – you need to tell me everything that you know from the evening. 

Either what you saw -- or what you heard -- I know you hear all the gossip before I do, so don't pretend no one's talked about it at all. 

THEN I'll tell you what happened.

Neely's notes are written in a iridescent blue-gray ink. A small bit of pale pink feather from her current favorite quill is caught on the scrap of parchment.





FIRST OF ALL, everything I know about that evening is totally VODKA COLORED. Even if vodka is clear, and my mind is generally sharp (genius-sharp), I couldn't see through Julian's face, Jord.

I definitely heard the loo version, the breakfast table version, and the nerdy-third-year-corner-of-the-common-room version (the ugly armchair corner, you know). They claimed Xavier proposed to you, but I know that's rubbish. However, the loo version about a really expensive necklace sounded just outrageous enough. And it's not like your neck isn't worth it. I cannot believe you haven't shown me yet. I haven't even seen the lovebites he left all over your neck (and lower?!), let alone the necklace, you tease. I thought we were BWF.

Vodka colored or not, I trust you!  Was I completely ridiculous?  Did I seem drunk?  I swear, I barely drank anything at all – not that it makes what happened any easier to understand.   

I can dismantle the versions one-by-one:

Ugly armchair version: blatantly false.  Oh my Godric, could you even imagine?  That would be completely ridiculous.  Who would even believe that?  Honestly?! 

Loo version:  Closer to the truth.  Definitely a necklace, don’t know about how expensive.  I don’t even know if you’ll believe me or not, but please keep this secret – I don’t know if he wants anyone to know – but he did all the metal work himself.  It’s really pretty.  I’ll show you in the dorms later.  You have to promise to keep it secret though! 

Your version:  There are no love bites, Neely – on my neck or anywhere else!  I’m not some kind of slag!  You always want to assume the most, but I wouldn’t do that – not in the middle of the common room!!! Not to mention the little third year Whitman walked in.  Ugh!  Have you heard him and his idiot friends talking about it?  I wouldn’t doubt it.  He just plopped down right next to us and smiled!  Pervert.  I thought Xavier was going to kill him.

Ummm, everyone seemed drunk. I was the only sober one, in my head.

You know who believes it? Third years. I don’t know why the staff hasn’t taken my advice and given us our own common room already. We’d have far less trouble with trashy rumors if we were treated like the adults we clearly are. But why would they do that when they can torture us? Maybe you should bring it up in your next Prefect meeting. By the way, if that’s in the washroom, can you please count me in? I could use a deep soak and not in one of these high traffic pedestrian tubs they give the rest of us. Someone stole my pink bubblebath.

Why are we keeping this a secret if PEOPLE IN THE LOO already know about it?! Show me the necklace YESTERDAY. (Reason 1,036,271 I need access to the superior grooming facilities.) I can give you a quidditch pitch estimate on what it’s worth. I know my jewelry.

Why do love bites make you a slag? I have some. From my boyfriend. So, then, did he ask you officially?

Again, third years. Useless. As Head Girl, you have an obligation to the rest of us to get them chucked out. They can have the old cold storage in the dungeon over. He’s a Whitman, so we can’t take him out, but we can put him out.

Well, clearly your head was not in the right place, because I’m fairly certain you were not sober at all.  You also, by your own admission, were not paying close attention. Unlike the third years, apparently!  Because I would be a slag if I had them because he definitely didn’t ask me out officially.  It was just a snogging session on the couch. 

Ugh. 

You know I would throw Whitman out of a window if I could. Sadly, Azkaban would not have the bathroom I require to be a happy, healthy person.  Which, as you know, I can only get you in late at night.  I’d be willing, but I don’t want to get caught.  I’d be a disgrace if I got removed from my post right before we graduate! 

Busy tonight at 11?
