Whoever thought up that BLOODY HALLUCINATION is NOT FUNNY.
Very creative, but also very NOT FUNNY.
Sadism isn't funny, unless it involves the BLOODY HALLUCINATION assuming a more suitable form. Like that of a FERRET. If it's going to stick around, can it at least look like a bloody FERRET?
Honestly. Who in here was bored enough to make THAT?

Alright. So, it turns out that you two are right about me after all. I'm going to Blaise's party on Saturday, even though we've all pointed out everything that's wrong with this idea, every last reason why I'm an idiot for doing this, and so on -- but I'd kind of like to stick to talking about my virtues instead of my vices, if we could. Anyway. In that vein, I am going, but I promise that I'll be exceedingly careful. Hand to Merlin, I'll make Percy look reckless. And, if I'm not home by, say, whenever Michael gets off work, it'll mean one of a few things:
1. Things are going exceedingly well, I'm having a brilliant time, and I forgot my curfew.
2. Things have gone very, very badly and I need help.
Or 3. I've gotten completely and utterly wasted and am either in a cat-fight with Rivers or sleeping it off on Blaise's sofa. (Note that this outcome is the likeliest of the three.)
And, while we're on the subject of us three, I have a few Very Brilliant Ideas. First off: we can all agree that we all want each other, right? Right. Well. I don't know what you two want, but I think I know what I want.
...I want you to seduce me. I want you both to give me some pretty words, and roses, and role-playing would be absolutely brilliant. Seduce me. Give me your absolute best shots.
Also, weekend after this one, after I've recovered from Blaise's party, we are going out. Because I said so, and, no, you can't argue with this. I have the perfect place in mind, and dress smart.
[Hexed to Everyone BUT Anthony & Michael]
Boys are stupid.
[Hexed to Blaise and Theo]
Alright, I made up my mind. I'll be there Saturday night.

And who's to say that you wouldn't still having a smashing time despite all those trivialities? I know I'd be amused watching their reactions. Come now, where's your sense of adventure?
...I shouldn't even be considering this. It's ridiculous, at best, and potentially lethal, at worst.
...But I bloody hate it here, and it's easier than going home with my tail between my legs. Not that I'd be too opposed to doing so, at this point. I'd be miserable, sure, but it's pretty clear, to me, that I have no semblance of a clue how to run my life so that I don't fuck everything up ten times over, and going home offers me the solution of just not having to think about a goddamn thing. And I may not get to really be Terry, but I hate being Terry anyway, and it's never been more obvious to me that Dad was right about me never being able to make it without the family...
And it's not as though I'm really doing anything for the Order. It's not as though I ever have. They wouldn't miss me. Some of them would probably be glad to be rid of me. It'd just make it easier for them to rescue Saint Draco and go about the business of redeeming him. And if I'm going to be miserable any way it goes, then why not be miserable where I'm materially comfortable and don't have to think about the so-called "real world?" The real world's only ever been depressing anyway.
I really suggest you get out more, Boot, even if it isn't to my party. Even undesirables on the run should explore their horizons, I say.
...I shouldn't be considering this.
[Hexed to Anthony, Michael, Sal, Ernie, & Theodore.]
...I think Blaise just invited me to his party on Saturday.
...What do I do?
[Mistakenly Left Public]
...Bollocks to all of this; I want to go home.

So, well. This is going to be supremely awkward, but let's suppose that I have this friend. Theodore Nott. Let's also suppose that, maybe, I've come into some knowledge about a plan he has. To switch sides. What could be done about this?
[/Lupin & McGonagall]
Behaving like an adult is overrated and pointless.

I am outstandingly brilliant.
[Hexed from DEs, RF Members (excepting Theodore), and Malfoys.]
Just ask one, Gwendolen Nicolette Rivers. I'm sure that she'd gladly tell everyone how brilliant I am. She does, after all, have full-impact, first-hand knowledge of my completely unparalleled brilliance.
Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant.
And I'm so modest too.

So, let's suppose, entirely hypothetically, that someone has just found himself in a bit of a compromising relationship situation with two of his best mates, wherein both of them appear to be fancying him. He has a history of swinging that way and it's brought him a right world of fun when coming into certain conflicts with certain people, take for example his Roman Catholic parents. Inasmuch as he knows, neither of them have any history whatsoever of even looking at other blokes in that way, let alone outright fancying them, and distinctly not kissing them. And while this entirely hypothetical bloke is not entirely opposed to Things Happening with his best mates, he's honestly quite terrified of the potential repercussions of entertaining said Things and his matching desire that they Happen, especially if anything bad were to happen that would mean losing his best mates.
Oh, and one of these best mates, who are still entirely hypothetical, has a habit of being a bit too friendly with Dark-aligned pointy prats and, on top of this, has rather been avoiding the entirely hypothetical bloke for about a little over a week, following their discussion of his bad habit of being a bit too friendly with Dark-aligned pointy prats.
What should said entirely hypothetical bloke do?

Oh, Merlin, this is ridiculous.
I should be feeling bored, at the moment; not guilty.
I've done nothing wrong, and I wish that my bloody cat would stop treating me as though I have. She hasn't been near me all day until now, and, at the present, she is staring at me as though I've royally fouled something up. All I want to do is protect him. There isn't anything wrong with that, last I checked, and I shouldn't have to explain that to anyone, let alone the person I'm protecting. Malfoy tried to kill Dumbledore; that's reason enough to distrust the prat, isn't it?
[Hexed Private to Anthony.]
You're more guilt-inducing than God.
I have a feeling that you're not being very honest with me. Not that I can talk.
Emma is looking at me very belligerently, and it's scaring me, and I get the feeling that this has to do with you.
I'm lonely. And something feels very... wrong. I'd say almost irreparably so.

"... You shall leave everything you love most:
this is the arrow that the bow of exile
shoots first. You are to know the bitter taste
of others' bread, how salty it is, and know
how hard a path it is for one who goes
ascending and descending others' stairs ..."
-- Paradiso, XVII (55-60)
(True enough. Dante doesn't know just how much he speaks for everyone in exile; but bread is asked for in various petitions to the Divine, does he just not consider this? Probably not. Salt is interesting. Salt heals bad water [see Elisha, 1 Kings 2]; salt is good [see Mark 9:50 -- "Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his saltness, wherewith will ye season it? Have salt in yourselves, and have peace one with another."]; salt is grace [see Matthew 5:13 and Colossians 4:6 -- "Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men." and "Let your speech be alway with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man."]. Salted bread, though.
“Let yourself be open and life will be easier. A spoon of salt in a glass of water makes the water undrinkable. A spoon of salt in a lake is almost unnoticed.” -- Prince Gautama Siddhartha. Not entirely relevant, though.)
Halfway along this journey of our life
I awoke in wonder in a sunless wood,
For I had wandered from the path that does not stray.
...
The very thought of it renews my fears,
For death itself can hardly be more harsh
Than is the memory of that monstrous place!
...
What was the manner of my coming there?
I cannot truly say, I was so full of sleep at
the point where I abandoned that one true path.
-- Inferno, I (1-12)
(Been there, done that.)
(Inferno VII is a problem. What is seven? Seven is divine, seven is responsibility, seven is nominally a marker of cognizance when you're still a child. Childishness. Selfishness. Prodigality. To be prodigal is to be selfish just as much as to hoard is to be selfish. Thus, equated; get the same level. Have I been selfish? Yes, very.)
My profile looks a bit like Dante's, doesn't it? More graceful, I guess.
