 Mischievous Niffler
Grateful that her advice was also being sought, Kitty listened as the Grey Lady explained the problem. Miffy. Oh Miffy. It seemed Kitty wasn't able to turn a corner without either experiencing a prank from Miffy or hearing her name mentioned somewhere. An exaggeration certainly, but she was so annoying that that's what it felt like.
She let Jace and Harvey give answer first. "Both Jace and Harvey bring up good points, I think." Now it was her turn.
"Whether or not they should be married, it is certainly not OUR fault (the students) that they aren't, but that doesn't stop them from ruining our clothes or unleashing pixies and who knows what else they've done? I mean, turning clothes pink might seem like an amusing prank to Miffy, but it is not to those of us who actually try to express ourselves through our clothes." Kitty was partly referring to herself, of course. Having your clothes turned pink can really be infuriating once you've put a lot of energy into being the "Goth" girl of Hogwarts. "And will they stop pranking us if they are allowed to be married? Two years ago they ruined the feast by throwing glue and feathers at us, and they poisoned Professor Art's ingredients for potions class." She shuddered at the memory. "And at the time Miffy was doing that all to impress Peeves. Now it's because she can't marry. What's to say that if they do marry, she's not pranking us again next year to celebrate her and Peeves one year anniversary?" She paused to take a breath. "Then again, much as I hate Miffy, I think everyone should be free to marry the one they love. But at the same time it's hard to feel sorry for her when she's pranking us all the time. If she really wants to marry Peeves then perhaps she could make a promise to respect us in the future."
"What are your personal thoughts on the matter, Lady Helena? I would like to know where you are coming from too." |
