Kinsey Bole sold his conscience to buy books ([info]causticsoda) wrote,

"Caught in the doorway with fit, so must be nervous." Nine letters.

And if that isn't sufficient educational content, I can contribute to the sum of knowledge the fact that cats are, actually, excellent for quoits once you've petrified them.

Roommates
I know this comes rather after the fact, but if any of you have hung onto your slip of parchment from the incident of forced intimacy, I'd like it. For research purposes.

Savannah
Still interested in joining me in a spot of revenge? Got any leads?

The compulsion was definitely in the notes, but I'm having trouble pinpointing anything further. Ninety percent sure it's a charm, but even that might be more complicated. I'm trying to get hold of some more examples to use for cross-referencing, so if you know of anyone who's still got theirs, let's try to get it. Quietly. I'd be just as happy if whoever was behind this didn't know we were coming for him (or her) before we carved his kidneys out.

I've found a few books that might have useful information, but Pince won't let them leave the library. If you're free - say this evening - your assistance in sifting through them would be most welcome.

You did what with a cat?

Do you mind? Quoits is an ancient and noble pursuit, and I won't have you making it sound sordid.

It just sounds an awful lot like another ancient and noble pursuit that one really shouldn't be doing with cats.

Am I missing something? They've been safely petrified. It's not like they can feel anything. Or generally want to move about anyway, in my experience.

I'm wounded by your insinuation, Elena. I have the highest respect and affinity for our feline friends and wouldn't dream of so much as ruffling their mighty aplomb.

You bet I am.

I suppose we could eliminate a few suspects. We could probably get a list of all the pairings and work from there. Scorpius Malfoy would never have snogged Goldstein on his own volition. And Piper and Rose Weasley? Pffft. So we can already nix out four people. Plus hardly anybody even knows how to properly use a ward, so I'd imagine we could weed out all the pairings through the journals quite easily.

I remember there was a piece of paper with your name written on it. Perhaps there's a charm that's connected to the name itself. Either way, I'm free after 11 tonight, so I'll see you in the library?

Not a bad idea to narrow down the list. I should hope if it were Piper she'd have told me. And definitely not her brother, because no one would voluntarily inflict the Brandon bint on themself.

I'd never considered my name to be that charming. Flippancy aside, I think you're probably right - a name is a powerful magical tag.

I'll meet you there. Considering how possessive Pince is of the books that even mention magical compulsion, if we find anything of use, we may be able to winkle out of her who else has been reading up on it.

Good Merlin, I don't even want to imagine how that pairing turned out. I shudder to think. I can do a little snooping around the journals, and I'll compile a list by tonight.

Ha, I see what you did there, Bole. And good call. Looks like we've got to:
- Compile a list of pairings
- Get the list of checked-out books in the Charms section
- Find the blasted Charm

Hopefully it shouldn't take too long. The sooner we corner that disguting bastard, the better. The rest of Hogwarts can thank us later.

I'm surprised she's still with us. Flint's a more restrained wizard than I, clearly. And you are a queen amongst witches. I'll poke around a little myself. We can cross-check.

When you list it out like that it looks almost easy. And that's a list of goals I can drink to. See you this evening.

Cats? I do hope you haven't tried petrifying Elena's cat.

And I'll give you the prank parchment when I find it. I am fairly sure I left it in one of my pockets.

Down, boy. Your sister's already defended her own feline accessory.

Along with half the missing items in Hogwarts? When you find it, that'd be great. Who were you foist upon, anyway?

I had to check. I'd have been given an earful if her cat was mishandled by one of my roommates.

Mm, possibly. It's an occupational hazard. Amelie Fortescue. You?

I have every care for your continued wellbeing in mind. Truly.

That's hardly the most unpleasant prospect; you got off lightly. Not that I have much scope for complaint, since I drew Savannah in this interesting lucky-dip.
