Go, Harry!

[alt_padma]

Using gillyweed, that's brilliant! I hope that those gills and the flippers and all make the water warmer for you. I'm glad I'm not swimming in this cold!

Oh, and Perks, it's obvious you've not been helping Krum, no matter what other people might say. That's possibly the worst partial transfiguration job ever.

Or maybe you've simply been showing us all how devious a Slytherin you can be, getting him to trust you and then recommending that ridiculous solution.



Oh, Lakshmi! Did anyone else SEE the size of that crocodile thing? First dragons and now this.

I'm super-glad I'm not swimming in there with that!

Yes, but the creatures down there must be SO interesting.

It's a pity that since they're swimming there's no easy way for them to be taking notes.

[alt_neville]

That's probably not the first thing on their minds, no.

[alt_neville]

I'm really glad the gillyweed worked.

At least...I hope it works. Continues to work.

Re: I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up to No Good

[alt_luna]

I bet it would surprise Padma Patil if she knew you were the one to come up with the idea.

Re: I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up to No Good

[alt_ron]

Too right about that!

Re: I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up to No Good

[alt_neville]

Maybe, but don't see any reason to point it out to her.

Blimey. I hope nothing goes wrong. If it stops working suddenly when he's underwater....phew. Hope I don't get blamed for drowning the Lord Protector's son.

Re: I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up to No Good

[alt_ron]

Don't even think that.

 
 
 
 

Anywiz.

No way that'll happen, mate.

Re: I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up to No Good

[alt_gredforge]

What are they doing down there, anyhow?

Re: I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up to No Good

[alt_ron]

Don't know what they're meant to be doing with the Grindylows and all. They don't seem to be finding whatever it is they're meant to be looking for, though, do they?

I didn't really understand what the head judge said when he was announcing about the things they're supposed to find and bring back.

Re: I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up to No Good

[alt_justin]

Hullo, Luna.

It was Neville's idea?

But I thought Hydra had been helping Harry look for an answer.

I wonder

Oh, bother.

Re: I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up to No Good

[alt_ron]

Ugh. Did you see that?!

That was a nasty blow Diggory just took. Those Mer people are fighting for real!!

Re: I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up to No Good

[alt_justin]

What ho, Ron.

It's no wonder they're fighting for real. Did you notice? Off to the left, there. That corral sort of thing, what?

It looks like.... I say, are those merchildren?

-Justin

Re: I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up to No Good

[alt_ron]

Too right. And you're not the only one's noticed. Do you see Delacour? She's trying to fight over that direction, yeah?

Only-

Er, that's not good...

[alt_blaise]

Brutal, what?

I wish they'd explain what exactly they're meant to do. Now that they've gone in.

[alt_padma]

Oh, did you not hear Mr Bagman make the announcement? Maybe you were staring at Delacour too hard. Eyes and tongue back in, Zabini.

Each of them has a symbol hidden in the lake somewhere and they're meant to rescue it. Without getting hurt. But the Merfolk are going to try to stop them--see the colony? They've got to swim right past them to get to their symbols.

Oh, and the Squid. And the grindylows. And that horrid crocodile thing.

[alt_blaise]

Of course I heard him. But that was after I asked.

Guess you were too busy ogling Harry to notice. Surely it's not Krum you're panting over. Not looking like that!

[alt_padma]

No.

[alt_blaise]

Well, and obviously it's not Diggory.

Wait. It's not, is it?

Not that loser.

[alt_padma]

Ugh. Stop being vulgar. I do not fancy any of the champions and I don't fancy Quidditchers.

For Rama's sake.

[alt_ron]

Hm.

So I guess that let's Marvolo and Malfoy sleep better. Sure they'll be glad to know.

[alt_padma]

Just like all of Hogwarts breathes easier knowing that Brocklehurst has (for no real discernible reason) put her hooks into you and saved the rest of us from the red menace.

Get stuffed, Weasley.

[alt_ron]

I'm not-

That's not EVEN

Wait-

Oh, no! Look at Fleur!!!!

[alt_gredforge]

That shark head together with those swimming trunks...not a good look really.

[alt_justin]

Hullo, Fred and George.

No, but not as disturbing as that lashing Fleur just got, what? Ouch.

Do you think she'll scar?

-Justin

[alt_gredforge]

Hope not.

But if she does, somehow it'll add to her appearance rather than detract.
