So Megan and I are wondering...

[alt_eloise]

Who's the Queen of the Scumbloods??

Someone said there was originally a drawing that explained, but by the time we got to the loo closest to our classroom, Bundy had got rid of everything but those words.

What's a scumblood, anyway?? Is it something worse than a mudblood that we don't know about??

Ooh, maybe a scumblood is a mudblood who's really, really bad. The kind who steals magic from babies.

[alt_eloise]

Maybe!!

Except I thought that's what an ordinary mudblood was...

[alt_michael]

That is an ordinary mudblood.

Tamblyn says it's someone with better birth and all, who should know better, but who gads about with lowlifes.

But I think that should be a slumblood, don't you?

[alt_eloise]

Ooooh. Ooh!!

[alt_eloise]

I think I know who it's about, now.

[alt_padma]

Aren't you the clever one?

I'd like to know who thought of it, though. No one in the Corner has any idea and usually if there's something brewing, someone there has heard a rumour even if they won't admit to knowing anything.

[alt_eloise]

Yeah, it's pretty rare that something nasty gets said about someone and the people in the Corner don't already know all about it!!

[alt_ernie]

Well, I heard from Diggle that's it's someone who's so bad at magic they're practically a Squib...or someone who has a lot of Squibs in their family.

Then again, he could have been having me on.

[alt_eloise]

I thought someone like that was just called "squibbish"??

I think Corner's got it right, Erns.

[alt_ron]

Nice.

I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good

[alt_ron]

Daft cow.

Jones, too.

And Corner's right there with them, being a complete tit.

Who's next? Bulstrode?

[alt_sally_anne]

Daft cow is right.

Eloise Midgen is nearly as thick as Gregory Goyle, and she snorts when she laughs. As if anyone cares what she thinks.

[alt_susan]

It's people being stupid berks, is what it is.

[alt_daphne]

Certainly it would be understandable if you wanted to speculate amongst your friends, in private, where no one would be none the wiser, but do you really have to perpetrate it here. I'm sure you didn't mean any harm, but it really isn't very courteous to the persons involved.

[alt_eloise]

Well it's not as if I'm the only one speculating. Look at the other journal entries if you don't believe me.

Plus we've figured out who the persons involved are. Parkinson and her mates.

Anyway, I'm not the one who wrote it!!

[alt_daphne]

See, now that's even less courteous, bringing names into it.

[alt_eloise]

So??

It's not as if any of them are courteous to me.

[alt_daphne]

So you're only courteous to people who are courteous to you first? Well -

Yes, that's understandable. But I think you're probably imagining insults where there are none, in this case.

It isn't, after all, technically "rude" to simply pay someone no attention whatsoever.

[alt_eloise]

It's not technically "rude" to ask questions, either.

That's all I'm saying.
