Attn: All.
Public Service Announcement: Weasley is a murderer.

This evening around 1800 hours, an owl was tapping at my window. Assuming it was a late birthday present, I let it in. And what was it carrying, you ask? Two things: A stuffed up roll of parchment, leaking with mud, and MY OWL. MY DEAD OWL.

Quirinus had been missing ever since I sent a package of Potions ingredients off to Weasley, but naturally I thought he was just having a hard time finding the Weasel home. After all, I hear it's smaller than Gladrags, so surely it was hard to find.

In any case, I wasn't particularly worried, as I could always use one of Father or Mother's owls if I needed to send something out.

However, as it turns out, Weasley viciously slaughtered Quirinus and sent him back to me as a little gift. This is a complete and utter outrage. Even from a Weasley, I would not have expected something so crass.

Father, of course, is absolutely furious, and I'm sure he'll be getting in touch with Arthur Weasley. Despite the fact that this happened away from Hogwarts (which, I'm sure, was all part of the Weasel's scheme), it's obvious to me that Weasley should receive punishment when he gets back to school. Killing a Prefect's owl is not something to be taken lightly.

I leave you all to digest this information and decide how this should be handled.

And precisely how do you know that Ron murdered your owl?! He was probably just sending it back to you after it died - that doesn't mean he CAUSED it to die!


potterstinks @ 2003-01-02 10:20 pm UTC

For your information, Granger, the back of my owl's head was dented, as though hit with a blunt object. And I suppose you think it's appropriate for someone to send a package of mud along with an owl that 'accidentally' died?

I would imagine that the owl fell in the mud. Who would send a package of mud somewhere?

I was trying to kill the spiders and that stupid owl was in the way! It's not my fault that Malfoy tried to murder me first!!!

So you admit it, then! You killed my owl in cold blood and now try to say I'm the murderer? For shame, Weasley.

I didn't kill your OWL! You'll notice that your owl is returning to your "home" safely.

I dissected that toad for Potions ingredients. I found it by the lake. How was I supposed to know that a toad sitting by the lake belonged to someone? It wasn't wearing any identification.

You knew it was my owl, imbecile. You just claimed it had no identification on it, when obviously you opened the package before my owl met his demise.

How interesting that you should name your owl Quirinus, Malfoy. I did not know you had any interest in martyrs. They are, of course, an absolutely fascinating subject.

Did you know that St Quirinus, aside from being martyred, is the patron saint of obsession? And that upon the incursion of the barbarians into Pannonia at the beginning of the fifth century the inhabitants fled to Italy and took the bones of St Quirinus with them? A fascinating history behind the name of your owl, I must say.

Shut up, Weasley, you fetid sack of dog meat.

Unacceptable. Your mother and I are quite beside ourselves. She has gone to her suite to recover from a headache, brought on by Mr. Weasley's actions. Rest assured that Mr. Weasley will be replacing your owl. Please send me a list of your requirements in an owl and I will see that it is filled.

I will be meeting with the elder Weasleys in the morning. They are quite horrified at their son's actions, so I am sure that any such behavior will be nipped in the bud. Killing animals is an early symptom of sociopathic behavior. I am going to recommend that Ron be thouroughly examined at St. Mungo's.

This is not the end of this matter.

Your Father

Lucius, darling:

I am not feeling well at all. You shall have to meet with those people alone. I trust you will keep me informed as to what trasnpires at your meeting.

Oh, my poor head. If you need me I shall be in my chambers once more. I should not have wandered out of them in the first place. My fragile nerves are shot. . .All of these misfortunes felling my beloved Little Dragon are simply too upsetting for words. . .

potterstinks @ 2003-01-04 07:51 pm UTC

Mother,

I'll be sure to pay a visit to Weasley on the train back to Hogwarts tomorrow. I can't have riff-raff like that upsetting My Mother. Shall I come see you after dinner?

Draco

blondenarcissa @ 2003-01-05 08:51 am UTC

My darling son:

Yes, do come and see me after dinner. Your presence always delights me so.

If you do decide to visit with that Weasley boy, please take the utmost care not to get too close. I should hate to see my boy catch any germs or mites festering on those second-hand robes of his.

Love,
Mother

I certainly wouldn't be surprised if Weasley turned out to have psychological problems. It would rather explain a few things. Of course, I'm sure growing up sleeping in the same bed with all of your siblings would be emotionally scarring.
