clean, but more fleas

[alt_terry]

boot is very clean all over, good

but more fleas woke boot up before dawn, bad

boot is clean, but pallet and blanket swarming with fleas

so boot threw them out

took a candle and went flea hunting in his cupboard

singed fingers a bit burning them

but hopes boot got them all

will sleep without blankets till sure fleas are all gone

maybe can get another pallet somewhere

Do you mind?! Professor McGonagall must have had her reasons for giving you a journal, and I am sure they were excellent ones. But I trust they didn’t include the necessity of updating details on your personal bathing habits and infestation of vermin.

but fleas are very important to boot
if sir had fleas, sir would understand

[alt_percy]

I do not have fleas. Nor am I likely to ever acquire them. Please refrain from sharing such unsavoury details with the entire school. It’s disgusting.

[alt_terry]

the entire school? the whole school reads what boot writes??!!

[alt_percy]

Yes, and believe me, we do not appreciate it. It puts people off their breakfast.

[alt_terry]

then why do you read? boot knows he is beneath students notice. boot knows he has dirty blood

[alt_terry]

no need to read boot. boot not important at all

[alt_percy]

Well, there's no need to grovel. Simply don't do it again, if you please.

Who appointed you spokeswizard for the rest of us, oh Your Gryffindorian Prefectness?

Some of us consider mudblood fleas to be an excellent way to start the morning.

Well, if you'd like, we could set you up with a good dozen fleas or so. We're told that they're not too picky about who they bite, so that wouldn't be a problem.

My thoughts exactly....

You two certainly know how to get up to no good. Excellent job.

[alt_gredforge]

Thank you.

We think that it would make quite an improvement.

Don't listen to him, Terry - he's just a bigoted jerk!

[alt_sirius]

...So I take it my advice helped, at least a little?

(Ahem, about the soap, I mean?)

ORDER ONLY

[alt_hermione]

It did, very much, I was going to thank you because I don't think Terry will but I know he's awfully grateful!
