So, what's behind PS' comment? Is the implication that he and Turpin met somewhere -- perhaps literally "ran into each other" while Apparating? And if so, where are their paths likely to have crossed?

Was wondering that, as well..so cryptic, PS.

I figured it was more of a negative response to Lisa's post due to the fact that Lisa posted. That feels more Draco-like than commiserating over a misapparation. Note the "now" in his comment if you want proof.

Or maybe one of them apparated into (somewhere?) and cracked heads with the other?

notapipe @ July 22 2003, 22:25:09 UTC

Would negative numbers be acceptable in your icon (which is very cool, btw)?

Did you read the same PS comment I did, or just the second half? Check out the first half: What a coincidence. Now

This the Snarky!PS we know and love, and if he's just being anti-turpinol it fits the MO. He harbors no great love of Lisa (and Lisa's great love of Draco in the past isn't really important, and is a thing of the past). If he were to have actually met her he would either A) involve vomiting in his references or B) cover it up. Okay, so that last sentence was an exaggeration, but the basic point my eloquence covers up is sound.

I can't see PS saying that first half of the sentence unless he were directly commenting on the post and Lisa.

tabiji @ July 22 2003, 22:41:23 UTC

Yea I suppose negative numbers would work :)

The coincidence could just as well be that his pointy lil head hurts too cause they smacked into each other. (M.B. mentions splinching, which would indicate it may have been an apparating thing).

Of course, it could also be that PS is just being his usual snarky, and undecipherable self.

notapipe @ July 22 2003, 23:09:07 UTC

One word. Now. Also, I think M.B.'s comment may be due to the fact that Draco is probably pulling a Percy and apparating EVERYWHERE, down the corridor when he's walking with M.B. around the house, from the bed to the dresser, from the dresser to the mirror right NEXT to the dresser... He may not have used his legs to move for days. I hate to use the O-word, but it MAY be a applicable here. Plus, I think the Draco/Lisa interaction (and not like that!) bears me out.

Also, I don't think it's all that undecipherable. I just did a deciphering of it, and I think I did a pretty good job of it, thankyouverymuch. *indignant head jerk/toss, which is ruined as his hair ends up over his eyes sloppily*

The NOW could mean "Now that YOU bumped into me."
Don't make me get the diks out, pipe.


Laughs at your messy hair...you Harry-wanna-be.

notapipe @ July 22 2003, 23:28:20 UTC

I don't think Lisa would agree. Or PS's lack of response if he were wronged. Besides, Lisa can't apparate. She can't even take her test. At least not for another month and two days. Also, I love the diks.

tabiji @ July 22 2003, 23:32:56 UTC

It doesn't necessarily mean that SHE was apparating, especially if he's pulling a Percy (like YOU said), and apparating everywhere. It would be rather Draco-like to crash into someone, and then blame THEM for being in his way!

Face value is a good thing!
