Evidently, no one in this castle cares one whit about my feet. Someone tampered with the post and stole the socks My Mother sent me to replace the ones that had already been coldly stolen from my dormitory. They tampered with my post! And yet, no one's doing anything about it. I tried to ring the Minister of Magic for a firechat, but his fat wife said he was having a lie in. Three days in a row. I'm starting to think the Ministry is being run by a giant slug. Father and the Minister are old friends, of course, so I'm certain he's a perfectly acceptable Minister, but if he can't be bothered to get out of bed when there's a burglar at Hogwarts, perhaps he's losing his touch.
I have blisters. I've been wearing my shoes without socks since they were stolen, as I'm certainly not going to use Crabbe or Goyle's and Pansy's are all rather flimsy. Millicent, of course, has decided to celebrate the affair by wearing three pairs of socks at once. Har sodding har.
Even Professor Snape is disregarding the fact that my post was broken into. What sort of school watches the post get raped and does nothing about it? It's illegal! You'd think they might be concerned with getting shut down due to allowing this sort of thing to happen, but not Hogwarts. No, no. Hogwarts has no concern for that, because Dumbledore needn't concern himself with such things. Not when he can wink and make the torches reflect off of his stupid glasses in order to appear even more cheerful. I'd hate to see what would happen if my life depended on him. 'Oh, someone's stabbed your jugular vein with an extremely sharp spoon? Ha ha, Mr Malfoy! I am certain in all of my vague elderly wisdom that the world will right itself via sweets and loud robes. Would you like a butterscotch rimple? Oh, I see you've died. Alas! I was ever so certain that you would find a way to fix that.'
My Father says he'll likely come to Hogwarts himself and deliver some socks for me. I'm sure he'll want to have a word with the headmaster in regards to his complete and utter lack of concern.
As I was walking through the Charms corridor this morning, Filch had the nerve to harass me for going barefoot. He said I was going to leave footprints on the floor. As though I should continue wearing my shoes without socks. I, of course, asked him to show me the contents of his office so that I could ascertain that he hadn't stolen my socks in a fit of bitter jealousy, but he began to talk about chains and whips, so I thought it best to remove myself from what could have become an extraordinarily horrific situation.
If this keeps up, I'll have to start my own school just to make sure my offspring doesn't have to deal with the same burdens I've had to.

I have a delicate wand. It tends to fire hexes at people when I least expect it.

If you collect her furballs, you might be able to knit a pair of socks in time for summer.

I would love to watch you try.
Really, I would.

I doubt you'll be doing so, as I've locked the door.

Open the door or I will use your owl as part of my Halloween costume.

Owls can fly, cats cannot. My owl won't get close enough for you to breathe on it.

I have a broom.
Did the lack of socks interfere with your common sense?

None. I thought I'd spend the evening practising my whittling, but I wouldn't want to overwhelm myself with entertainment.

You must be joking.
Perhaps, if you take it to my top secret lair instead.
| petitemillicent @ 2003-10-30 11:40 pm UTC |
When do I ever joke?
Is that a Yes?
Or should I make a poll especially for you?

How terribly rude of me to become distract by my own obligations and overlook your plight, Mr Malfoy. Your lack of socks is of course tragic and shall keep me awake at nights.
Do tell me what you wish me to do about your situation.
| potions_master @ 2003-10-30 11:00 pm UTC |
Perhaps.
Have you queried Potter as to the location of your socks? This to me sounds like his poor sense of humour at work.
Also, it would be a good excuse to give him a detention.
Do let me know.
| potterstinks @ 2003-10-30 11:05 pm UTC |
Potter wouldn't be able to get the Slytherin password, I'm rather certain. Anyway, I already interrogated him, and as we all know, Potter looks suspicious when he lies, so it seems to me he doesn't have them.
(parent)| potions_master @ 2003-10-30 11:08 pm UTC |
A pity. No bother, I shall give him a detention anyway.
It stands to reason then, Mr Malfoy, that if you desire your socks to be returned to you then you yourself must do whatever it takes to reveal their location and the culprit behind their disappearance. It is not my place to offer a reward.
Do keep me posted, however. I would be more than happy to hand down punishment once you have caught the nefarious sock-pilfering fiend.

Thank you, sir. It's quite generous of you to give me permission to do whatever it takes.
