Just kidding with that last one. We all know how dangerous Invisibility Potions can be, all black roses and purple prose and the next thing you know they’re all handcuffed to goal posts. Yeah, maybe the Polyjuice is better.
Hee. ;)
Actually, it’s not weird at all. Whoever designed the school knows teenagers have a natural affinity for melodrama. Just as the sky in the Great Hall should be stormy, like the sky, the bathrooms need to be chipped, flaked, dirty and broken, like the heart of the students who go in there to cry.
This just reminded me of something I read at JK’s site. She was going to introduce a character (I forget his purpose) and she loved the idea of him wearing white gloves so that they could be artfully stained with blood now and then. You know what, I probably made that same character about, oh, ten years ago when I was twelve? She’d better be glad that she can make a fair mystery plot because her character deserve a C-. I’d give her an F but she did make darling Draco and the Malfoys, even though she makes us read chapters of crap instead of a Draco/Theodore conversation at Malfoy Manor.
Ron says only a really thick teacher would fall for Hermione’s excuse for getting the Potions book. Oh! They mean Lockhart. I thought they would just pop round to see Hagrid and ask him to get it for them.
Too bad Hagrid wasn’t a teacher yet. Like I need another scene of Hagrid bleating that he can’t do that because Dumbledore said not to but then through some plot contrivance would be tricked into signing his name on a scrap of paper by the trio. BTW, WTF is with Hagrid being so damn prejudiced when he’s not even fully human? The guy wants rights for his animals to be treated properly but Muggles shouldn’t? I’m glad DD died, but you’re next on my hit list Haggy.
