mudbloods in the daily profet

[alt_millicent]

there was an article in the daily profet today about dean thomas.

i am suposed to read the profet every day to help my speling but today i didnt want to read it because it was about a mud blood.

dean is okay though, but i don't know why the profet would be so nice about a mud blood. they aren't nice about any bodie else.

dean do you know some bodie who writes for the daily profet?

Bulstrode, I think you need to work on not only your spelling but your reading comprehension.

For once and for all, Dean Thomas is not a mudblood. He's a half-blood. He couldn't go to Hogwarts otherwise.

i know that weasley. i meant people thot he was a mudblood and hes been raised like them anyway

[alt_percy]

Well, now he is in the place that he belongs, and I'm sure he will be able to demonstrate that to everyone.

I thought the article a bit...sensational. Although the basic facts were correct.

[alt_neville]

You weren't there. In the class where it happened, I mean. Neither was Rita Skeeter. So I don't get where she's getting the description of what happened from. You're right, it made it almost worse than in really was, if that's possible.

She was kind of nice about Dean, though.

[alt_seamus]

Yeah I think maybe she got her story from the same place Ernie did!

I mean the mud explosion came first for one thing. THEN the fire. No one shot mud at Professor Carrow to put the fire out, we all used water.

[alt_neville]

Yeah. I mean, shooting mud at Professor Carrow--who would dare nobody would do that.

(Has Dean seen it yet?)

Order Only

Oh, my.

It is supportive of Dean, and fortunately it doesn't make too much of Terry Boot. I don't know, Minerva. Do you think this will make your job easier or harder at the Board of Governors meeting? Not to mention handling Carrow?

I think that the fact that it speaks of Hermione as Harry Marvolo's 'property'--while irritating--suits our purposes very well. It should strengthen Minerva's argument that Carrow should have his own 'property' taken away, in compensation.

I agree with Arthur, Molly: if the article has any effect on my case, it will be to help, not hinder.

[alt_seamus]

Yeah, I showed it to him this morning. Since it made him sound pretty good honestly. Even if it got almost everything wrong.

Do you think Rita Skeeter has ever met Professor Carrow? Because she sounds like she really dislikes him.

[alt_dean]

How could i possibly know anyone who writes for it. I don't really know anyone outside of Hogwarts. I am just as surprised as you are.

[alt_neville]

Dunno. But my Gran always said she thinks Rita Skeeter dislikes a lot of people.

Order Only

[alt_molly]

Isn't that the truth!

I reckon it could have been a lot worse, but I have to say I'd be just as happy if it'd left me out of the story altogether.
