Tweak says, "ZOMG. It's a talking Tweaky!"

It's so nice to know that detentions are the same, no matter what time you're in. Honestly, I think some professors actually refrain from doing most of their more unpleasant chores in the hopes that some poor fellow is going to get caught doing something fun and will be forced to perform said unpleasant chores for them. It's almost comforting, really. Cleaning disgustingly dirty items around the school is exactly the same now as it is back home. Now I have a sure-fire cure for homesickness.

Hmm. That was a little more profoud than I thought it was going to be.

Private to Future students: I'm bored and I'm finally done all my detentions for the water-slide extravaganza. I need something to do with my time. Does anyone have any ideas? Grudges against somebody you want to punish? Anything?

	You must be in detention a lot. I wager that the items around this school will be spotless in no time. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I had the school record, back home. Most detentions acquired by a single student in the school's recorded history. So, yes, I am an exemplary cleaner. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That's really quite an admirable achievement. I mean.. it isn't conventional but it is admirable in its own right. Well done, with the cleaning. Hope your room at home is as clean as these sparkling trophies I'm seeing. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Lucky you, I'm not a prefect in this time Potter. You could perhaps, give a little welcome to my favorite woman in the world, my mother - who goes by the name Astoria Greengrass. (Reply to this) (Thread)

You're not a prefect?

Huh. I guess that makes sense, seeing as we can't play Quidditch, but it still sucks. For you, of course. I suppose it means I might be able to get away with more stuff now. You know, that almost takes the fun out of it. What am I supposed to do with unworthy, unsuspecting opponents?

Private to Scorpius:
But now to business. Astoria Greengrass. She's the stuck up, blonde ~~bitch~~ from Slytherin, right? I'll see what I can do.

As you may be unfamiliar with the James Potter policy regarding revenge on behalf of others, I'll give it to you quickly: You don't say anything about talking to me about this, you don't act like you're expecting something bad to happen, you don't draw unnecessary attention to me or yourself until after the prank is complete, and in exchange, I don't disclose your involvement if/when I'm caught. Mostly common sense, I'm sure you will agree. Basically just "you turn me in, I turn you in". Hopefully, we won't have to worry about that, yes?

	Yes, that blonde is my mother. But nonetheless, do bear her a warm welcome from me. As if I'd want to talk to anyone anything concerning you, I'm not stupid to risk my own academic life just because I want to out you, Potter. This is business. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	James, why do you like detention so much? You just got done and now you want to throw yourself right back in. Can't you go a few days without causing a big ruckus? Wait, that was a stupid question. Just leave all the futuristic kids alone, and try not to get caught. Some of the girls in my dorm could use a bit of a surprise. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	james_too 2008-02-03 06:24 am UTC (link)
	It's because I don't have Quidditch to occupy my time, I'm bored... Oh, who am I kidding? I just kinda like detention. It's soothing. Therapeutic or whatever. Private to Rose: But yes, girls in your dorm, now on my list. It might take a few days for me to think of something suitable. You know the drill--say nothing. Thanks!

You can still go flying, and hell, there's enough of our family here that if you add a few more, we'd have two full Quidditch teams! I don't see why you think detention is therapeudic (you were right James! I'm proud.) How getting yelled at and being forced to scrub things varying from trophies to bed pans without magic is soothing, I'll never know, but you go enjoy that.

Private to James:
Good deal. Thanks, James! My lips are sealed! But if I get caught in the cross-fire, I'll be a bit pissed.

	We need a code word or something. So, like, if I write a journal entry with that word, you get out of your dorm or just away from your dormmates if you're all somewhere else, within, say, five minutes. Sound good? I recommend the word "LEMON". Because I never get to use that word. And I want to. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Good idea. I'm know I wouldn't like whatever you're planning for them.

Alright, James, we'll use lemon, but because you're doing this for me. I was going to suggest discombobulated, but that's a bit lengthy, isn't it?

Oh, if you want to play, Louis, me, Scorpius Malfoy, and anyone else who wants to join are playing Strip Exploding Snap in the ROR. You have to stop once you get down to your knickers though, no showing of the bits allowed. You in?

	I have it on very good authority that some professors (none that are teaching at Hogwarts at the moment, naturally) took pride in doing that very thing. They even had their favorite victims you could say. Although Filch is the worst one of the lot. And Mrs.Norris. (Reply to this)

I've been thinking, and I'm entirely too bored. I think I may have something in mind. I know you did the waterslide prank...but I have always had this...desire to do something similar yet completely different. If you help me, you'll be put on the list of people I'll idolize forever, James. Please!!!!! Picture this: The entire fourth floor flooding with that muggle stuff, jell-o, that will absolutely not disappear with magic. Of course, cherry flavored, and believe me, when it starts to get warm, its going to melt, and it will make the entire school a gooey mess...we could possibly get out of classes even...

Is that stupid...?

Hmm. There's promise, there. I'm just a little worried about getting the whole school a gooey mess. There are certain locations it could be good for, but what if it got into, say, the Potions classroom? There could be explosions and/or injuries and that wouldn't be cool. Could we do it in strategic locations? AKA the History of Magic classroom and similar? Or maybe just do it your way and then seal off dangerous locations so they don't get contaminated...

Oh, another couple of questions: Do you happen to know how to make it impossible to remove or are we going to have to research it? And where are we going to get that much jell-o?

I think we should just seal off the dangerous and necessary locations. If we limit it to only the History of Magic classroom, then we can still have all classes except HoM. If it got down to potions that could be ba, I agree. Plus, we can't just trap the Slytherins down there. I'm thinking there should be a way to the Great hall, just none of the classrooms. And I swear if it gets anywhere near the library I'll kill something...so that has to be protected as well.

Dear Cousin, of course I know how to make it impossible to remove. Trust me, that will be no problem. As for the getting the jell-o, I have a charm that will rapidly multiply it until I stop it, so there's no problem with that either. I've got one box of the stuff, nicked it out of a muggle girl's trunk...she had several boxes anyway. I don't think she'll miss it.

In that case, I think we need to brainstorm over the necessary places to protect and set up the defences for them a day or so ahead of time, without actually implementing them until we need to, so no one will notice and figure us out beforehand.

As for the jell-o itself, I'm thinking that our best bet is a series of smaller eruptions throughout the school, as opposed to one big one. Easier to control, not as much of a mess if something goes wrong with one. Also, there's an added benefit of us being harder to target that way. If there's "jell-o bombs" all over the school, we're almost impossible to point out as the culprits since everybody will be at the scene of the crime. It could work.

Agreed. Shall I start a list?

1)Dungeons in general. (if it gets down there, the Slytherins would have an awful time of it.)

2)The Great Hall

3)The library.

4)The Room of Requirement

5)Let number five suffice for all common room entrances.

6)The tapestry of Riley the Rambunctious

7)The extra Potions store room on the 4th floor.

(...list to be continued as the need arises)

Do you have anything to add? I know I'm probably forgetting something...

I like this idea, the smaller areas, but still effectively messy. We can set it up so we can both be on opposite sides of the school, and we each have a visual or can easily reach a spot of visual for a certain amount of the "jell-o bombs". We'll have to have a way of communication, maybe two way mirrors, and we'll be able to set them off strategically that way. I don't really want to get caught for it. I think it will be brilliant, but I don't want to serve the detentions.

Alright, good start for a list.

1)Dungeons -Okay, but more because of the Potions areas and Grams office being down there. Why the sudden concern for Slytherins, I wonder?

2)The Great Hall -Agreed, but only because I want access to food that isn't jell-o at some point during the day. The Entrance Hall is fair game.

3)The library. -Check.

4)The Room of Requirement -Check.

5)Let number five suffice for all common room entrances. -Sigh. Fine, then.

6)The tapestry of Riley the Rambunctious -Actually, I think we should make an effort to avoid most of the paintings, if we can. Maybe shield charm whole walls if there are any paintings close-by a target area. Trust me, you don't want the school portraits to have a grudge against you. That can be a powerful forse to be mess with.

7)The extra Potions store room on the 4th floor. -Check.

Other than that, I'm thinking we should take precautionary measures, hopefully not needed, to keep it from getting outside at all. We don't want to mess with any of the class materials for Herbology or Care of Magical Creatures. Though... I would like to make a point to target the Divination classroom and the Quidditch changing rooms, if we could? These stupid 2000 players won't let any of us join. And it's not like they're very good in the first place, either. I just feel a need to exact my ~~revenge~~ unhappiness upon them.

About the Slytherins, ~~Its nothing!~~ Don't worry yourself over it...

Entrance Hall is completely open for targeting.

True, the paintings can get rather volatile if the need arises.

If it got into the Herbology or CoMC things, I would hate to see what would happen, so agreed that we will protect those areas also. Divination is a definite yes, and although I'm surprised about the Quidditch changing rooms, no matter what the reason, I will consent to it. We can't forget the Astronomy Tower either. There's nothing explosive up there, though we should probably protect the school telescopes. If they get covered in jell-o, it will probably still be on there when we use them if we're ever back in 2023.

Protect the telescopes. -Check

As for the Slytherins, don't think I can't tell you're acting weird. I am your cousin and I'm very observant, despite what people may think. I haven't figured it out yet, but I will. Because I'm sneaky that way. But, you know, if you want to just tell me what the deal is and save us both the trouble, that is also cool.

Anyhow, I've been thinking that maybe we can use a charm like the one Uncle George has on the WWW decoy detonators. With, like, a prolonged wait time (a timer or something), the ability to direct them to specific locations and, you know, lots of jell-o instead of the smoke and loud noise. That way, we can release them from anywhere in the school, anytime after we've got the shield and protection charms up in the listed locations, and they'll go off at the same time without us needing to be anywhere ~~suspicious~~ nearby.

	The Slytherin thing...You'll be really angry...I don't know if you'd understand. That's brilliant, James. I love it. That will work out perfectly. There's no way we could be in all of those places at once, and if the time is predetermined, we can just prepare for everything and let what happens happen. (Reply to this) (Parent)
