We've all done it, we've all had that moment where we peruse the RP threads and come across something that is SO funny it makes you spit water at the screen and have to come up with hasty excuses for laughing at your computer. This is the place where those witty little quips, quotes and snippets can be posted for the enjoyment of others! Share the love and the lulz!
Formerly known as Quotable Quips, a place in SS Hogwarts Haven made just for keeping the events/posts that are just too good to lose. There are a few changes to how this thread works starting 2012! Firstly, it will be a per-term thread. Secondly you are not to post your OWN snippets as that is not in the spirit of the RP!
Please remember to abide by the following guidelines or your posts may be deleted.
1. All quotes must come from the School RPG. In the case of students being RPed outside the School RPG, they can still be quoted, just so long as it is the student/school characters. No KA, DA, MoM character quotations here, please.
2. Post only quotes. Comments can be submitted in the chat thread or via private message/visitor messages.
3.Please don't post your OWN character's quotes here. The point is to share some funnies and some love that others come up with. You can include your own character for context but the focus should be on someone ELSE being funny. After all, if you post something funny, someone else can pop it here!
4. In the event that something memorable occurs and it is either a large body of text (more than 6/7 sentences) or a collaboration of multiple posts by multiple people, then please submit it under a textcut or spoiler (you do them the same way!).
textcuts: can be achieved by typing in the following:
[textcut=type something here]place what you wish to share here[/textcut]
Example:
Text Cut: type something here
place what you wish to share here
Have fun and please remember SS rules apply at all times!

"He requires a lot of... coaxing, and reassuring," she began, choosing her words selectively, avoiding the term 'babying'. "...and I wonder if he might be better off dropping the subject if he can't handle it."
So naturally, she had to see Fina... being his Head of House she could explore his options with him.

Not Comforting.
Annie whirled in and took her center seat at the table looking like she was going to blow out a rage of fire if she was a dragon. What in Merlin's whiskers had made the headmistress so angry? Or maybe who was the better question? Leo gave her a small smile. "Evening Headmistress, what is the matter?" Raising his hand to stroke his hair again he sighed. At least he wasn't the only one at the table that wasn’t exactly um feeling calm and collected.
Focusing on Ali he gave a shrug of his shoulder. "It’s nothing. I’m just well trying to accept the fact that I in a not very far off future will become totally Bald. Just like all the other men in my family." He was self-pitying himself in front of a colleague which normally he didn't do. Leo only voiced such things to Sophia. "Can you please see if I have any visible bald spots on my head?" It was an awkward request but he didn’t know who else to ask. Definitley not Airey. And Sophia wasn't there.
Leo had only heard bits and pieces of the conversation going on between Ali and Annie. If he had been more observant then he would have known that the groundskeeper had bigger problems than hair.
When Sophia finally came up on the dais Leo wanted her sooth his worries and well do what she always did when he was on the verge of getting a panic attack. Catching her gaze he mouthed out one word. "Bald." No good evening or hello just bald and a gesture towards his hair before he started down at his empty plate. The smirk she gave him went over his head.
Turning to Hecate he asked. "Do you know where I can buy some powerful hair products against baldness?"
"Good evening Cecelia." Leo greeted the healer unenthusiastically. Could the feast start, please?
"Good evening Seren." Leo greeted as the herbology professor came and claimed her seat. "Any summer plans?"
As always Dash arrived when you least expected it. Returning the nod of greeting he said "Good evening Dash." before he averted his attention to stare out over the student table's.
Looks like LeoBALD has got a bit of a HAIRY SITUATION on his hands there.

He skimmed over a few people's entries (holy cow they wrote a lot (he didn't have to write that much, did he?)) and wondered what the heck he should write about. He wasn't a sappy person, so this was probably going to be short and sweet. But probably just short.
Milton tapped the quill against his chin before finally starting to write down his thoughts...
I have to admit, I really didn't want to come to Hogwarts three years ago, but it was probably the best thing that ever happened to me. I learned to like people. And those who knew me three years ago knows that that wasn't really my thing.
I also learned that you CAN indeed judge a book by its cover, but if you don't at least read the first page, you're probably gonna miss out on some amazing stuff.
That was my attempt at being inspirational. Did it work?
Hogwarts is crazy. So, if you manage to go through your Hogwarts years without getting knocked out by a coconut in a hurricane or a suit of armor head during ice hockey, or getting almost eaten by a man eating plant, or getting hit on by the girls bathroom's permanent resident, consider yourself very lucky. Also consider your life very boring and remember that Milton Shacklebolt endured all of those things in three years and is, therefore, better than you.
If any of you are looking for advice... I'm not going to give any, because you probably wouldn't want to follow it anyway. Thank you, Hogwarts, friends, and enemies for making these last three years mostly enjoyable.

She had nothing else to say to him, for the moment, so she went back to staring out at the students. Her elbow crept on to the table and Annie cupped her chin with her hand. She was still fuming, but simmering down now. Some.
But blah blah blah, they're just poor domesticated natural respondin' animals blah blah blah. Anastasia only half-heard Ali's nervous rambling about his cows. She hadn't turned them into ground chuck yet, had she? No. So they were safe. He could just stop talking about it now, please and thanks.
She had stopped listening so she was surprised when she smelled something pleasant to her left all of a sudden. The redhead turned to be faced with a bouquet of very aromatic, large flowers. Well. "I... see," she said after a few long moments of blinking and smelling and taking the flowers from him and cuddling them tenderly. Well well well! Who would have thought the very embarrassed groundskeeper had it in him.
"This should make a difference, actually," she said much more gently as she took the flowers and settled them in her water glass. Had to keep them fresh through the feast! "Though I'm not living in the office at the moment." It was inhabitable until an exterminator and professional cleaning army of house elves had a chance to scrub the place down.
"Thank you." She was much more subdued now.
Did Anastasia LOOK like she cared what kind of unctions Lafay had in her potions cabinet of secrets? No she did not. Did she CARE that the woman laughed or did not laugh at work? Yeah, a good education was serious business... HA. The redhead could have let out a stream of giggles at that one.
But she had flowers in front of her, pretty pink flowers to distract her. So she said none of these things and instead simmered in silence. "I don't like her," she commented under her breath, likely talking to her bouquet and no one else. It was a good thing Lafay had already left the table, because she had been THISCLOSE to getting herself fired.
"Evening," Anastasia was gently petting one of the flowers' petals when Leobald spoke to her... and unknowingly brought THE EVENT up again. Her blue eyes flashed red with a glint of anger again and she whirled to face him, lips pursed.
"NOTHING is the mater. NOTHING." SO STOP BRINGING IT UP ALREADY, PEOPLE, WOULD YOU?
She was just going to have to address this... situation directly, wasn't she. Well. No time like the present for a SPEECH. She would be needing a new water glass anyway, since hers was full of flowers. With that, and with a slight snarl still on her face, Anastasia stood and cast sonorous on herself. She cleared her throat loudly the way one might tap on a microphone to see if it were live, and waited for silence.

Welcome to Term 34, where there's paper plates, plastic cups & utensils and this:

Sighing in his mind, Airey crept up to the table clear out of any other professor's line of vision and set to the task at hand. First up....Mr. LeoBALD. A smirk crept his way across his features as he used a handkerchief to seemingly wipe away some dust that had happened to be on the man's...er....cup-thing. Only that SO was not what he was doing. SO not.
Bwahahaha!
Having finished up there, he moved down the table and place a disillusioned muggle object on Medea's chair. To anyone who happened to be looking, however, it looked as though he were simply patting the chair. Oh. Ew. Look at all that dust that was coming off that.
EW.
Airey finally made his way to his own seat now and took out his lint roller from his breast pocket and began to roll it AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALL over his chair. When one strip was full, he banished it and used the next layer of it. Could he have used his wand? Of course. But doing things the muggle was was SO much cooler.
Pausing for just a moment, he looked up Sophia who had arrived previously. Wait...hadn't she... Hmmm. Maybe he had just imagined her changing posts. His mind did tend to get the best of him all the time. "Evening," he said with a slightly obnoxious grin before he returned to lint rolling his seat upwards, downwards, and sideways.

Although Medea didn't particular mind the, erm, lack of shine the castle seemed to have. In fact, if hadn't been told about their current situation, she wouldn't have noticed at first glance. But yes, she was definitely now aware of the more, breakable, utensils, plates, and cups while walking up to the staff table. Oh, but they made the great hall burst with color, didn't they?
It was like a picnic!
Making her way up to the staff table, Medea smiled to the few on the side her seat was, eyeing the lint roller Airey had. Oh! "Good evening, Sophia." she greeted with all smiles and sunshine, pulling out her chair to sit, though a slight confused frown did appear upon her face. "Didn't you change-"
What was he doing? Sophia kept her eyes on the professor and watched if she felt around on the other teacher's seats. He was such a weird man, she had no idea how he got through an interview with Annie.
She looked away from him and focused on the students once again. No need to look at the weird professor.
He got a little nod in reply to his 'evening' as she looked away.
Then Medea turned up. She actually offered the woman a slight..very slight smile. She didn't much feel like smiling anyways.
"Good evening Medea and yes I did but I prefer this seat to the one at the extreme end. I'm sure the new professor won't be able to tell the difference anyways."
Or well if she did, she'd just have to wait until Sophia was ready to move.
Sophia threw a disgusted look at Medea and pulled her seat over a little bit. "I'd go check myself in the loo if I were you...that sounded a bit.....wet." She gagged a little bit.
.........oh, Professor Airey you prankster!

Please excuse the double post, but this gem of a post was too funny to not share

BUSTED! or....was it more....BUSTED?
Thankfully the Potions Mistress drew his attention away from the dark haired woman with the red face before he completely gave himself away. "Oh, that's unfortunate," he said with a genuine frown and a quick flick of the eyes towards the Headmistress to indicate that he was not disappointed that the child was with her father but rather that the Headmistress did not seem to like small children.
Sort of ironic, wasn't it?
Just as he was about to say something else, something came flying at him out of nowhere, causing the Astronomy professor to panic momentarily at the sight of icing going anywhere near his suit. In fact, the man nearly tumbled backwards out of his chair and probably would have if his knees had not hit the underside of the table with an unceremonious THUD. "Ooooooooooooooow," he howled under his breath as his body lunged forward and SNAP!
_____________________________________oops. There went the top of his spoon!fork as it hurled off somewhere down the table.
Worst part of it all? It had been over NOTHING. His icy blue eyes fell on the cupcake that was now resting quite contently on his plate, almost as if making fun of him. He was sure that if cupcakes could talk it would be taunting him right now actually.
Stupid thing.
And wait...how had it gotten here in the first place? No one else had cupcakes....
His eyes darted right back to Medea, who was already staring back at him. His complexion may have rose in color just a bit, but that wasn't on his mind right now. This cupcake was SUSPICIOUS! Just like YOU are SUSPICIOUS Medea Romanos.
The good thing about all this cupcake suspicion was that it caused him to completely miss all the girl drama over seating arrangements.
And he probably should find where the top of his plastic eating utensil went.

Anastasia was just coming down to say goodnight to her waiting area plants, still in her night robe and slippers as it were, her makeup already removed, her hair in curlers, when lo and behold, she had INTRUDERS in her WAITING AREA!
"Gasp!" the redhead let out a little squeak, quickly tightening the sash on her fluffy pink robe. "You there!" she pointed to the Gryffindor first, "What are you doing in my seating area! You're out of bounds --- AND out past curfew! School ID, NOW!"
Then she pointed her dramatic finger at the second... thing.... student... it... "Are you somebody's pet?" she squinted at the short creature putting its fingerprints all over HER lamps. Ooh no, she knew what this thing was! And the lightbulb was on... in her head, at least.
"I know YOUUUUU," she nearly cooed, clasping her hands together once more, "YOU'RE a Gringott's goblin, aren't you! Well I'll be!" Now which one was this one? If it weren't so DARK in here... if she could just turn on a lamp... she could see who it was! Annie knew all the goblins, of course, she was a regular at their bank, after all!

Finally, the child was leaving. Why was it always the puffy kids that had to argue with her on everything she told them to do? Why did she always have to threaten them with detention to get them to do anything? This was something she was going to have to ask Waylon about when she got home later. Maybe he could help he to better understand the yellow kids.
First we have our VERY loyal Headmistress leaving the stands RIGHT as dementors appear.

She felt like a cup of tea all of a sudden. This weather was just not improving her mood.
THEEEEN! We have some Terror Twins laughing and crying at Dementors.

What was it? Oh yeah. Laughing. Fake... Yoga laughter.
.... West started trying to laugh. Fake laughing.
"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha," He started weakly, still clinging to Theo. "Ha. ha ha ha ha ha ha." A little louder....
.... tears streaming down his face.
"HA HA HA HA HAAA HA HA."

OR NOTHING BECAUSE LIFE WASN'T WORTH LIVING.
"HA HA HA HA HAAA HA HA." He kept trying.

Huh... huh?
THIS WAS A SET UP.
AND IT WAS FUNNY?????
Well, THANK YOU WEST ODESSA. Theo let go of his arm straight away and shakily took one step back. He stumbled a bit, but managed to stay up. Don't even need any best friend anyway....
And then a tear fell down his cheek. Well, it had to start somewhen.

So, this is Dylan's response to the assignment and dementors in History of Magic:

Digging into his bag of things, the Slytherin pulled out a black envelope and a sticker wax seal. It had to be a stick-em because Dylan obviously didn't have a wax stick with him...or a means to stamp it for that matter. So, it'd have to be a false seal...Also seeing as he didn't know how to seal it by magic...And if he did, he didn't remember.
Once the parchment had been folded up neatly, Dylan tucked it down into the envelope...and then peeled one of his stickers, quickly putting it in place. That would have to do...

To whomever was brave enough to steal from Gringott's
For starter’s, I’m not writing you because I’m impressed with your feat. On those grounds, I think it was a terribly stupid thing to do...and also terribly selfish.
However, I am curious as to why you might have done it. I have a few theories and I may or may not be wrong. For one, you probably have some vendetta against the Headmistress...and are using the deed as a source of blackmail. I can understand this as she’s a redhead and that particular kind of woman is very frustrating...or maybe you just don’t like her and are doing this as a means to discredit her as a leader during these hard times. If this is true, then that’s really cruel. Under different circumstances, I might appreciate your effort and the cunning and ambition that went into doing all that you have done...but I've had to wash my own clothes, clean my own dorm and common room, and fix my own food all term, on top of duties, lessons, homework, and studying for NEWTs. So, I’m less than agreeable at the moment.
Second thing...is that you have issues with how the school is ran in general...and seeing as the deed gives you ownership, you’re messing with the lot of us for revenge. Again...I can understand. Seems someone is almost dying every term...and it’s all very suspicious. With that said, are you behind the dementors? If you are, not cool, man.
My third theory is that you are a House Elf activist and stole the deed so you could free the elves solely because you believe in their cause so strongly. I don’t personally believe this theory...but if it IS the reason you went through all this trouble, I commend you for being so passionate about the Elves. Do you know Kurumi Hollingberry? You two would get on swimmingly.
That is all.
Anonymous
There. Done. Perfect.
Suddenly...there was a coldness settling into the classroom, ice creeping its way along the floor and walls. He could feel it on the material of his pants...
STARE!
Oh, wait...
They were perfectly safe. Vinteren could do that awesome patronus-multiplication thing...So, all he'd have to do is break bad on these dementors. In fact, Dylan looked for him, frantically trying to figure out HOW they'd always managed to be wherever he was. HE DID NOT LIKE THEM LIKE THAT.
It was worse than a clingy ex-girlfriend...
He pulled his wand...but he didn't cast...Dylan didn't think he could handle seeing another dementor eat his patronus....
Highlighted the best parts, but the whole thing's worth a read

Again, excuse the double post, but there is still some humor at the ice cream party

Hey. The syrup was poisoned and sucked out joy. Like a dementor. What happened when you sucked out joy from a joy-sucker? Vacuuming a vacuum? WHAT WOULD HAPPEN? Ravenclaw experiment time! He threw a cauldron of marshmallow goo at the nearest dementor.
If nothing else, at least he was doing something.
And then he spotted Lex being lippy to poor Botros, who was trying really valiantly to herd West and Mo AND Lex toward the door. She was Mo's job. Obviously. Mo threw another cauldron of butterscotch goo before climbing around Botros to glare down at Lex.
"Get out of here, get over my shoulder, or I'll stun you, you badly behaved lion cub," Mo actually pointed his wand at her, because he was in NO MOOD FOR YOUR LIP, CAMBRIDGE. "I'd give them your soul, but Vivi wants you safe. Won't you feel bad if I lose my soul trying to save you? Now do I have to carry you, or will you walk, Alexa Cambridge?"
Mo Branxton, the Alexa saver....
(emphasis by me, of course)

It was like looking at a miniature of that Gryffindor Quidditch Captain with the razor-sharp teeth.
"Hello, Alexa..." he started to say. Then that ............................. that came out of her mouth, and Vinteren's entire head slowly began to turn red.
He. Had. No. Words.
What was she doing? Why was she lingering by his seat? With the elbow...leaning? What was this? And whhhhhhy, pray tell, did she feel the need to speak so damn LOUDLY? The entire school would have heard this ridiculous declaration by now! The dementors out in the forest if they hadn't left yet would have heard her! And only a Gryffindor would be so stupid brave as to openly accuse him of being a dark wizard in front of the entire school! Only this Gryffindor!
He had never been so embarrassed nor at a loss of how to respond ever in his life. The snickering so-called Diviner nearby was hardly helping. Erik wound up blinking, looking up at the ceiling, taking a long, long drink of water to cool his face down, and then scratching at his cheek idly before he said anything. And when he did speak, it was only to Professor Lafay.
"I believe someone missed your syrup...cure, Madame." Clearly Cambridge was under the influence of something. Clearly. She needed to be removed and checked out this instant.
Please.

"Hello, Professor Lafay.." He greeted her, "I just wanted to say-" and there Wade went, reaching over to give her a nice big old badger hug. "Thanks.. for this year, and I hope your summer goes well." He let go right after.

His arms went around her arms. Although younger, he was taller than she. Most of the upperclassmen were... Her eyes became real wide and she turned completely red. A tomato red...
Once he let go of her, she just looked up to him and tried to say something... but what? You're Welcome? Don't you ever do that again? Diffindo? All that came out though, was fish face... you know the kind. Lips opening and closing, with no words coming out.
Finally... she just nodded nervously... twice, and sat down... hopefully he couldn't reach her again. Her wand would be ready this time...
Why did Hufflepuff always want to HUG HER!!!

Wade frowned a little, he didn't want to make anyone cry, especially Professor Lafay, who had such a tough reputation. He sheepishly rubbed the back of his hair, while saying softly. "Erm.. that was all I wanted to say.. I'll see you again next year." Then he gave a last smile before turning to return to his table.

Did she have a sign that said 'HUG ME' on her forehead?
She turned and looked towards Hadley. Why didn't she keep her badgers at bay? Was it her? Did she send them to her for public displays of affection?
d'aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaw

And without warning, she wrapped her arms around him to pull herself close to him, whispering his ear, "you've got some schmutz on you, right there," and moved her mouth down and smacked a big kiss on those lips that one could only get after decades.

Welp. He hadn't had a friendly peck like that since he last saw his daughter, and so Botros patted the young woman's shoulder, "There there. You're just like the others. Traumatized by the tragedy. There there." He needed to get out of here soon before the kids started giving him friendly pecks too. Blasted school.
Where did his cane disappear to?

He resumed his steps, walking along the aisle, the hem of his sleeves dripping wet. What? He dipped his hands in the water while on the boat. Lucian wanted to know how it felt. He could tell you, it was cold and his fingers were pink from blood rush.
When he was called forward, the young Blackwell rubbed his hands together, beamed and sped walked toward the stool. Wiggling on it, he froze when the hat was placed on his head and jumped right into it.
"So?" he asked eagerly.
"So what,"the Sorting Hat replied.
"Where do I go? With the brave Gryffindors?" That'd be great because his dad was one. "The cunning Slytherins?" His mom was one, and she was awesome. "The clever Ravenclaws?" Meh. That was it. His grandfather had told him he'd burn his name off the family tree if he landed in Hufflepuff.
"Hmmmm," the Sorting Hat mumbled. "Hmmmmmmm."
Lucian crossed his arms. He had a feeling the hat was taking its lovely time on purpose. The Hat laughed. "Too rash, impatient, stubborn, just like your father, but such a baby!" Lucian huffed indignantly, but the Hat kept going. "Too sneaky. Hmm... ambitious, determined. Yes, yes. Like the McCoys. Ah, but far more cunning, like your antecedents, the Jones. Yes, yes."
"Sounds like a tie. If it is, I'll choose. Give me Gryffindor," Lucian said, but underneath the hat his lips stretched into a smirk.
"As you--"
"Nevermind! I want Slytherin!" He smirked wider. He waited a moment, then said: "Just joshing with you. Gryffindor. Yeah, that'll suit me."
The Sorting Hat huffed. Maybe it was Lucian's imagination, but either the hat was getting tighter or his head was getting bigger.
"Very well--"
"Nooooo! Wait! You believed that? Nah--"
"SLYTHERIN!" the Sorting Hat bellowed."Now get me off and go join your new housemates, and Merlin, good luck to them."
Lucian hopped off the stool and cackled all the way to the green and silver table. Stupid hat couldn't even take a joke. HA. HA.
Professor Airey in the muggle technology room. Experiencing a phone for the first time

Well, actually, he could think of a few things but for the time being and his short attention span this was the greatest thing ever. He didn't know where to start first and he half wished that he would have brought down the vintage vacuum cleaners to test them out the real muggle way instead of using the charm he had taught the previous term.
Fingers wiggling Airey approached the felefones first and picked up a black one. Hmm...how did this one work? He glanced around looking for instructions or something, but since he found nothing, decided it was just going to have to be trial and error.
"Ah, this button says on," he mused to himself as he pushed it and the screen went bright for a moment. Hmm...now what next? Airey began to randomly push buttons until he heard a ringing noise. Oooooooooh! What was it going to do next?!
"Hello?" the phone said.
Airey dropped the phone and pointed to it on the floor as the voice continued to repeat the word 'hello' a few times. IT WAS TALKING! THE FELEFONE WAS TALKING!

Had the number he just put into the phone been a specific number associated with one muggle and now that muggle had been summoned into the phone and was TRAPPED?! Or was the phone just speaking on it's own?!
He didn't dare pick the phone up, despite it threatening to do something called 'hang up' should he not speak to it. Along with some unnecessary name calling. He tore his gaze away from the phone when he heard another voice. "Ah, Miss Moriarty," he waved awkwardly to the Slytherin. "Summer was, um, pleasant I suppose. Yours?"
Before he could answer her second question regarding muggle things - which would have a very LOUD and enthusiastic YES - Medea walked in and suddenly the familiar feeling of his insides going through spaghettification was happening all over again.
"IT'S TALKING! THE FELEFONE IS TALKING!" he exclaimed while pointing at the device on the ground. "Do you think I should say hello back?"
"Hellooooooooooooooooo?"

But wait. How would the muggle hang up? Hang up what?! Sometimes muggles seriously spoke an entirely different language.
Airey bent down and picked up the felefone just as a few more students arrived. "Hello, Mr. Charlton. Miss Dawnsel," he greeted as he had the felefone pressed against his ear opposite of the way it was supposed to be held. He ventured a shy glance at Medea, as if asking her what he should say, but he found the the kneazle had his tongue as the realization sunk in that he was speaking to a muggle. One that was clearly trapped within the plastic contents of this felefone. "Um....I'm sorry you are trapped inside this device," he said in apology. You know, best say sorry for summoning the poor woman.
And then his eyes widened. Huh?
"Can anyone tell me what a prank call is?" he asked, looking around at all the students present. It sounded like something he really SHOULD know what it was. Prank being in the expression and all.
He put his ear against the felefone again and heard nothing. Not even that strange little buzzing noise. And then there was this odd sort of...drone noise. Odd. Muggles certainly made the oddest noises on the felefone.
I'm sorry but...just....all the awards to Felix, yeah? (Bolded by me.)

Still, he bent over his parchment anyway and made a few notes. Namely what they'd done so far, calling out random numbers and having to add them. Just in case it was important. Maybe. Somehow.
Someone else could do the difficult part; there were a ton of Ravenclaws AND West Odessa in here.

They'd be on the same page alphabetically-ordered in the book of 'ways to get in trouble with Bunz'. And hey look, shields and fast reflexes. Would have come in handy when dementors visited.
Would anyone be surprised if this book actually existed?

Backstory: These two firsties, Fern Quimbley & Cutty Mordaunt, are arch-foes from the boat ride over. What we're seeing here is the aftermath of Cutty teasing Fern about being his girlfriend. Nothing could be further from the truth, but she nonetheless...well, you'll see.

Fern's eyes were bulging, and her freckled face had turned a deep shade of plum. How had she, in only a few seconds - maybe minutes - ended up as CUTHBERT'S GIRLFRIEND!? How had that happened!? And more importantly, why did this have to happen to her!? Fern didn't know, but what she did know was this arrangement wasn't going to last for long. She was going to break up with him.
Right now, as a matter of fact. "NO I'M NOT! THIS RELATIONSHIP IS OVER! I'M BREAKING UP WITH YOU!"
"AND MY NAME IS FERN! QUIMBLEY!" Why did people always get that wrong!? And what kind of a now ex-boyfriend was Cuthbert if he didn't even know her name!?
Then she stomped her foot, and swatted Cuthbert's flapping hands. "You scarper off! This isn't your own floor, remember!" She was staying right here, because Charlie seemed like a descent person who had somehow been tricked into being friends with Cuthbert, and she wasn't going to leave him alone and unprotected with such an evil boy. After all, they were both Hufflepuffs, which meant they had to look after each other. But even if they hadn't been in the same house, she still wouldn't have left. Fern gave her Charlie what she hoped was a comforting smile, but given her extreme anger, she wasn't entirely in control of her facial expressions, and it might have come off a little maniacal.
Is there a limit to how many times we can post Beth's things?

Well he'd not brought any himself. Maybe they were somewhere he couldn't see? No harm trying, faster than going down to the common room for a few sickles anyways. The tall sixteen year old held his wand out and cast, "Accio sickles."

Alexa apparently has a pet spider, and I love the way the character always imagines these emotions for things (such as: Her poor digested candies and her pet spider).
