Jan. 14th, 2014 12:20 pmHave you decided yet? Rama, Linus's is a right pain in the arse. But it was pretty funny to watch Lucas O'Leary try to walk through without wishing long life to the Lord Protector, and then practically crawl on his belly between the door and the circulation desk.
I just hope they don't think it's too similar to what I'm planning. But I don't think Lines' shows his loyalty, so much as it tests everyone else's. So probably it'll be all right.
Anyway, Seamus sent his off to his sponsor to look at before he finished it up, and I know Lares plans to unveil his in the morning. You'd better get a move on if you haven't come up with an idea yet. Not surprising Weasley's done something that required next to no effort.
(And did you see that little clutch of 2nd-year girls following Sam to lunch? I mean, how could you not, they were throwing rose petals and chanting all about her devotion to the Lord Protector. Still, I hardly think that's a 'creation' do you? Nor is Vaisey and Stevens' 'entry'--I mean, honestly, it's not as if they knew about this last term, and it's certainly not like she's going to produce a baby in the next 24 hours. I think that shouldn't qualify if you ask me.)

And you'd think he'd be over the moon, thinking that it would be presented to Buckingham. (Not that I imagine they take everything they're offered, but still. It can't hurt his reputation, can it?)

It's perfectly on theme.

Well, nevermind. I don't even know why I'm fussed. If it's naff, you'll just look a prat compared to the others and it means we'll pull ahead right on the first trial.
