I Solemnly Swear that I am Up to No Good
I think Harry's going a bit bonkers. He keeps wanting me to go get books about house-elves of all things. Andhe told me about I'm not sure why.
Also, I've heard a lot of people saying things, talking about who the "heir" is, and some people say it's the heir of Slytherin, and some people say it's Harry because he's the Lord Protector's heir, and I overheard someone talking and I thought what if Harry is the heir of Slytherin? Only I know he isn't the one doing this stuff, I'm sure of it, I mean, I wasn't with him in the hospital wing or anything but I'd know because he couldn't hide it if it was him.
What do you lot think?

Date: 2009-11-10 02:02 am (UTC)How odd. Although
Draco'sDennis thinks he's a house-elf. At least he acts like he does, I mean maybe he's just a good liar too? I don't know what he's like inside his own head.I don't think it's Harry doing anything, Ron says it isn't Harry and you say it isn't Harry and I don't think either of you would lie to protect him.
I've heard some people reckon it's someone who thinks he's trying to do Harry a favour. And that kind of makes sense, I mean people do all sorts of mad things because they think Harry will like it. Last year during winter hols my foster family was the Strettons and they were horrible to me, awful -- you know actually I remember you even said something at the time so you probably remember. Anyway, towards the end of hols Harry came for a visit. And oh you should have seen it, the Strettons acted SO different. Because they wanted to kiss Harry's arse. Harry was polite because he's always polite to everyone but I could tell he didn't think much of them.
Anyway, you know, there are people here who WOULD open up a Chamber of Secrets and let out a horror to impress Harry, who aren't clever enough to reckon that Harry wouldn't like it, but I'm not sure whether there's anyone clever enough to find the Chamber and open it but not clever enough to know Harry wouldn't like it.
I mean maybe Padma Patil? She's clever about some things and stupid about others. But -- I mean can you see her opening the Chamber of Secrets and not telling everyone in Ravenclaw Corner how brilliantly clever she was? Because I can't, really. She wants everyone to KNOW she's clever or it doesn't count.
Anyway I still think the most likely person is Carrow and he's transfiguring people and no one's opened anything. I don't know how he did Nick though.

Date: 2009-11-10 02:11 am (UTC)So maybe. Maybe it was her. That would explain why she's telling everyone to stop talking about it, if she doesn't want anyone figuring it out.
no subject
Date: 2009-11-10 02:27 am (UTC)And I heard she likes working with Professor Carrow, too, so maybe they're doing it together. Like a conspiracy thinger. When Carrow wasn't allowed to teach, I heard she complained to Professor McGonagall that it was harming some special NEWT project she's working on with Carrow. Psyche Bobolis was saying to Towler that Sandoval was really upset that Carrow wasn't even allowed to talk to students while he was suspended.
Maybe this is her special project.

Date: 2009-11-10 02:32 am (UTC)MudblMuggle borns. Only, I don't think she could stop Professor Carrow if he was doing it, even if she did know. He's a Death Eater too you know, like they used to call them Death Eaters back in the day, only they still call each other that I hear, if they're really close to the Lord Protector. So maybe the Lord Protector would help Carrow hide it??no subject
Date: 2009-11-10 02:44 am (UTC)And, yeah. Professor Carrow makes the most sense. We keep coming back to that. It's just that he's so obvious that you don't want to think it's him and miss someone else because we weren't paying attention, right?

Date: 2009-11-10 03:28 am (UTC)(Alright I can tell you it's not Crabbe. He can barely manage to open a broom closet and I don't think he can spell 'chamber.')
no subject
Date: 2009-11-10 04:49 am (UTC)Do you really think so?
I mean, he really does like to have people think he's important and he loves to tell people off. And the twins figure he was trying to learn how to do Imperius before the camping trip when he got in all that trouble with Mum and Dad. I'm not really sure, 'cause they never said what he'd done, but it makes sense because the Prefects on the trip were supposed to be allowed to use it if they
wanteneeded to. So, I dunno, maybe?And, sure, I guess it could be Stretton. Things have gone pretty rough for him since that whole potion bit last spring. I mean, he's off the Quidditch team and I heard the Ravenclaws won't even talk to him or let him sit with them in the library. What do you think? You lived with him for a while, right? Could he do it? Is he smart enough? And, y'know, mean enough?
And, yeah, Crabbe's mean enough, but he's totally not smart enough. Goyle, either. Otherwise it could be both of them together. But they'd probably just have pounded Terry not hexed him.
no subject
Date: 2009-11-10 05:24 am (UTC)But, he's definitely one of the people who really thinks muggleborns are creatures. When he caught me hexing Padma last year what really made him furious what that I had the gall to hex a pureblood.
I can't think of any reason he'd go out of his way to be cruel to Terry though. Stretton either, really.
no subject
Date: 2009-11-10 05:26 am (UTC)What if the Headmistress was going to give Terry back to Carrow? Or someone like the Lord Protector said she HAD to give him back?
What if Carrow was going to do something awful to the cat? I mean it was Hermione's cat, after all.
Maybe someone petrified them trying to protect them from Carrow?
no subject
Date: 2009-11-10 10:41 am (UTC)I heard she used to teach Transfiguration--she taught Dean instead of Carrow before school, right? So I guess she might have done, but I'd think she could just have found someplace in the castle to hide him to be safe. Don't you reckon? And what about Nick?

Date: 2009-11-10 01:37 pm (UTC)The only thing that I can't quite make fit with that is the message. I can't help but think if that if Carrow were to write something on the wall, it'd be something mad about pigeons or something. Not 'Enemies of the Heir, beware.' Carrow's most preocupied with his own enemies, not anyone else's. I don't think he likes Harry at all, so if Harry's the Heir, why's he warning people off about Harry?
Wait, unless Carrow thinks he's the Heir of Slytherin? I mean, Carrow himself?

no subject
Date: 2009-11-11 12:56 am (UTC)NO ONE at the school has a tapestry with Salazar Slytherin on it. Or any of the other Founders. There are loads of wizards out there who say they're related to a founder but none of them can prove it.

Date: 2009-11-11 03:08 am (UTC)Draco's goes back a long way and I think they've got books that go back further, or out further. It's crazy how many people in Slytherin are distant cousins. And not just in Slytherin, I mean you're related to all of them too Ron.
If anyone would know it would be Teddy. He's the one who told me how you were related to Draco. And he says no one can prove Slytherin's their ancestor.

Date: 2009-11-10 02:46 am (UTC)I mean, I reckon we're all 'creatures' if you take a broad view of it, but I don't think that's what she meant. She meant as far as she's concerned, Terry's just an animal. Patil talks like that, too, y'know.

Date: 2009-11-10 03:26 am (UTC)1. There are the people who don't really, but say they do because they're afraid they'll get in trouble.
2. And there are the people who really think muggleborns are creatures but then so are cats and if you wouldn't kick a cat why would you kick a muggleborn?
3. And there are the people who would do cruel and awful things to any muggleborn who got in their way.
4. And there are people who'd put crucio on a muggleborn for practise if they needed to learn it for a class.
5. And there are people who'd put crucio on a muggleborn for fun.
Professor Carrow is a five. His sister too.
I think Lana Sandoval is a four. I mean Terry wouldn't have had to get in her way even, if she wanted practise with whatever it was she'd figure he didn't count. The only thing that would stop her is that he's school property and she might look at it as being like breaking a window or writing in one of the library books. But if she agreed with Professor Carrow that he was her property and HE said it was alright, well...
Really though I don't think it's Sandoval, she likes rules more than almost anything and she always wants everything to be very orderly. Nothing about the Chamber of Secrets has been orderly.
no subject
Date: 2009-11-10 02:05 am (UTC)I'm just saying, it could be anyone who wanted to impress Harry, or, okay maybe not that because he'd have to know who'd done it in order to be impressed, but maybe it's somebody who is so, y'know, interested in Harry that they wanted to do something for him that they think will make other people be more impressed with him? I know I'm not explaining that right, but there are lots of people who are kind of mad about Harry--like the way loads of girls seem to be about Lockhart, but not just girls and not just because they think he's cute ('cause he's not like that, y'know) but because of who he is, right? And I think it could be somebody who's kind of mad about Harry and the Protector in that way. If so, it's pretty sick, but I think there are people like that, who'd do stuff like that.

Date: 2009-11-10 01:44 pm (UTC)I can't believe Harry's doing this stuff. As to whether he's the Heir or not, or which Heir, I dunno. How much does Harry know about his family tree, anyway?
Could it be whoever's doing it wrote the message just to try to make him look bad? Rather than trying to please him or impress him? A lot depends, I guess, on whether whoever wrote it meant Harry when speaking of the Heir.
House elves? What prompted that? Has he heard anything about House Elves being involved with the Chamber of Secrets at all? If so, who told him?
