I don't really understand why you (or anyone) is so concerned about Draco being spellotaped to the headboard. Can you or someone else explain it to me? To me it just seems funny and that the players meant it to be funny. :-/

yeah, i see it as just funny too *shrug* i think la_pensee and petitemillicent are just being his friends, dragging him out from hiding - albeit in a weird twisted slytherin way ^_^ - i dont think he's in any kind of, i dunno, *danger* or anything!

glimmerglass @ April 6 2003, 11:56:34 UTC

Yeah, I think I would be more worried if he wasn't in the care of Pansy and M.B. since some of the characters, like Crabbe, still angry at him for detention. Honestly, I would rather be stuck eating pound cake than being pounded.

I don't know, it seems awful uncomfortable to be spellotaped to a headboard... and to be completely at the mercy of la_pensee and petitemillicent. Oh, the fun those two girls could get up to. I'd be worried, if it were me.

glimmerglass @ April 6 2003, 12:02:15 UTC

That is true but I guess I don't think that Pansy or M.B. are a threat even in that way. They are his friends and I think they just like to tease him.

Hoo boy. I clicked on the potter_stinks link, and it said that the journal had been deleted, and there was much woe. Then I realized that it's potterstinks, one word. Not especially noteworthy, but it was enough to make me comment.

And Draco, the poor boy. It's not so bad that he's spellotaped to a headboard, but the fact that it's Pansy's headboard, when there are so many other, more welcoming headboards to be spellotaped to. Or does Harry even have a headboard?

Thanks for pointing that out! Hmm so if no one is concerned by Draco, is anyone at least worried about the fact that M.M. has apparently been transfigured into a potato and consumed right under the eyes of the professors and no one has stopped it? ::curious::

I think she had it coming to her!

This whole Sally-Anne and M.M. episode is kind of intriguing in what it says about PS, don't you think? I mean, here are older girls who are just playing with him and humiliating him, and he seems completely at their mercy. It sort of puts into perspective both his own power games with his same-year classmates, and the affectionate teasing of his genuine friends.

I think the reason he's been spellotaped to Pansy's bed is so that he can't get himself into any more trouble, at least until he calms down.

glimmerglass @ April 6 2003, 15:04:57 UTC

I think it would be satisfying for everyone who ships Harry/Draco to see Draco taped to Harry's bed. :) But I'm not sure it would have made sense. I guess maybe M.B. could have done it if she thought that would make Draco happy, but I think it would have looked more like a tactic to please fans than something that worked as an occurance that was both funny yet went along with the current plots. That is just my opinion though. I guess even Draco being taped to the headboard of Pansy's bed is a little strange. :-/

As for the disappearance of M.M., I definitely think this is much more of a concern. But I don't know about you guys but I really don't want to see M.B. get in any trouble for it. I love M.B. She is one of my favorite characters. So I hope not too much comes out of it!

She has 1 point taken off :)) Got to love the Slytherins. :))

Actually, I really think they're on to something with that potato curse.

Harry's last stand against Voldemort:
V: Avada--
H: Not this time, Voldemort. Not this time. Potato Bomato!

And voila! Not only does Harry rid the world of a Dark Lord, but he also helps to solve the world's hunger problem.

But the fact that a student has been transformed into a potato and possibly eaten is very disturbing, I'll admit.
