HELP ME!

Mum wasn't pleased with the adventure me, Jamesies, and Cale had early-on.

BEEN GROUNDED SINCE.

GOING INSANE. HAVE NO WAND. HAVE VERY LITTLE ACCESS TO THIS JOURNAL, AS I HAVE TO STEAL IT WHEN MUM STEPS OUT.

PLZ SEND HELP. AM AFRAID I'M TURNING INTO A BLOODY MUGGLE.

HELP.

We receive what we deserve.

[the-instigators.livejournal.com]

I DESERVE NONE OF THIS, CHANG. I DO NOT DESERVE TO BE DRIVEN INSANE BY HAVING MY WORLD CUT OFF!!

I KNOW THAT YOU DON'T LIKE ME BUT COME ON. THIS IS JUST CRUEL AND UNUSUAL. I'D GLADLY TAKE WASHING DISHES OVER THIS FORM OF TORTURE!

[mp-maddy.livejournal.com]

I'm not going to be completely convinced you deserve it, but I'd say that if Potter is involved and you were caught at it, your punishment is likely deserved.

There's a saying about not committing the crime if you're not prepared to do the time.

[the-instigators.livejournal.com]

Nonononono. You're not understanding. I don't say that I don't ever deserve to get into trouble! But there is nothing that deserves being CUT OFF like this! Even people expelled from HOGWARTS are still allowed into the wizarding world! I COULD NOT DO SOMETHING BAD ENOUGH TO BE BANISHED FROM THE WORLD OF WIZARDING WONDERS!!

[mp-maddy.livejournal.com]

If it was anything else, would you really consider it a punishment? Really, now. You can't excpect your punishment to be comfortable.

[the-instigators.livejournal.com]

I consider having my wand taken away from me punishment enough! I consider Mum refusing to let me go see Jamesies or Sparrow punishment! BUT CONDEMNING ME TO BE FORCED TO SOCIALIZE WITH THE PEOPLE AROUND HERE WITH NO-ONE TO TALK ABOUT THE RESULTS OF THE EUROPEAN CUP WITH, OR MAKE UP RUMORS ABOUT THE PROFESSORS DISCUSS THE UNTIMELY DEATH THAT WILL BE THIS SCHOOL YEAR OR-OR-OR ANYTHING ELSE! That's just CRUEL!

[mp-maddy.livejournal.com]

I regret that I cannot sympathize in the least.

[the-instigators.livejournal.com]

I DEMAND THAT THAT CHANGES.

BETTER YET, YOU COME OVER HERE AND LISTEN TO SAMUEL ON HOW SOPHIE SAID THIS AND OH, ELLIE DID THAT AND THEN HEAR GEORGIA GO ON ABOUT DID YOU SEE WHAT ALICE WAS WEARING...

I CAN'T TAKE IT, CHANG. I REALLY CAN'T. I'M GOING TO GO MENTAL.

DO YOU REALLY WANT ME TO GO MENTAL? I'M ACTUALLY QUITE REINED IN RIGHT NOW; ONLY HALF OF WHAT I THINK ABOUT ACTUALLY HAPPENS. THINK OF HOW MUCH WORSE IT WILL BE IF I GO OFF THE DEEP END NOW.

I JUST WANT YOU TO CONSIDER THAT.

[mp-maddy.livejournal.com]

I hope you don't think I can do anything about this?

[the-instigators.livejournal.com]

I don't! But I want you to know that I am not simply being overdramatic over this! THIS IS REAL AND HONEST TORTURE!

[mp-maddy.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't go that far.

[the-instigators.livejournal.com]

OKAY, THEN LET ME REPHRASE.

IT IS REAL AND HONEST TORTURE FOR ME!! NOT ALL OF US CAN STAND TO BE ESTRANGED LIKE THIS!

[mp-maddy.livejournal.com]

As difficult as it may be for you to understand, not everyone has the time to continue writing messages like this.

It's a pity that you're having such a difficult time, but it really is no more than you deserve. I'll see you at school, Winters.

[the-instigators.livejournal.com]

YOU THINK I'VE THE--

Oh, bollocks. I refuse to even try to pound information into your thick skull.

[mp-james.livejournal.com]

>DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD I hid my journal.

[the-instigators.livejournal.com]

I DID TOO! She waited until I'd been shoved out of the house along with dratted-blasted Samuel and Georgia AND RANSACKED MY ROOM!

My ROOM! MY SANCTUARY SAFE FROM THE EYES OF SUSPECTING PARENTS!

Tell your father I want to be adopted!

[mp-james.livejournal.com]

You don't want adopted. Mum would murder me if she caught me writing in this.

AND I HAVE TO BE NICE TO AL. AND.. AND... I'M NOT ALLOWED OUT.

MY BROOM IS GONE. THEY TOLD ME THEY SOLD IT.

YOU DON'T WANT ADOPTED.

[the-instigators.livejournal.com]

BUT STILL.

YOU HAVE ACCESS TO THE WORLD.

I CAN'T EVEN MENTION WIZARDING. I CAN'T EVEN SAY ANYTHING ABOUT GOING TO DIAGON ALLEY. IF I DO MUM GIVES ME THAT LOOK. YOU KNOW THE ONE; YOU'VE BEEN ON THE RECEIVING END BEFORE TOO! I'M NOT ALLOWED IN! SHE KEEPS TELLING ME TO GO OUTSIDE AND "HANG OUT" WITH EVERYONE FROM AROUND HERE.

DO YOU KNOW HOW BLOODY BORING THAT IS?

FORGET BROOMS! MUM SENT THE FAMILY OWL OFF WITH MY WAND! I DON'T GET IT BACK UNTIL WE'RE ALREADY BACK AT SCHOOL!!

I WANT ADOPTED! BEING ESTRANGED LIKE THIS IS NO FUN AT ALL!

[mp-james.livejournal.com]

WRITE MY MUM. WRITE HER AND BEG.

I WILL PLEAD ON YOUR BEHALF. NO ONE DESERVES THAT. I, JAMES S. POTTER, WILL RESCUE YOU. I WILL SEND HALLIFORD, YOU SEND THE LETTER.

[the-instigators.livejournal.com]

I AM WRITING THE LETTER NOW.

HONEST I AM. PLEASE SEND HALLIFORD. I'LL EVEN LAUD YOU AS MY HERO FOR A FEW DAYS!!

[mp-james.livejournal.com]

HE'S AWAY. HE ACTUALLY WOKE UP AND HE'S FLYING.

FLY, HAL, FLY!

[the-instigators.livejournal.com]

I'M WRITING THE LETTER STRAIGHTAWAY!

[mp-james.livejournal.com]

ZOE SPELLED YOUR NAME AS 'MADDY'. YOU MAY NOW YELL AT HER.

[devoted-finch.livejournal.com]

Oh please, it was a momentary misstep.

MADDIE. PLEASE FORGIVE THE MOMENTARY MISSTEP.

MADDIE!!

[the-instigators.livejournal.com]

ALTHOUGH I PERHAPS NEED TO BE CROSS WITH YOU FOR A BIT BECAUSE I AM NOTHING LIKE CHANG AT ALL.

THIS HURTS, BLONDIE. LIKE A STAB TO THE HEART. I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU COULD COMPARE ME TO HER AT ALL.

[devoted-finch.livejournal.com]

You know what?

I'm just going with Madeleine from now on. It was all James' fault I'd started using the blasted nickname in the first place.

[the-instigators.livejournal.com]

Fantastic idea! I can only hope other people subscribe to your amazing wisdom~

[the-instigators.livejournal.com]

..........why would I yell at her? My name isn't "Maddie." It's MADELEINE.

[mp-james.livejournal.com]

I REFUSE TO TYPE THAT OUT. IT'S TOO. BLOODY. LONG.

[the-instigators.livejournal.com]

I...

THAT... DOESN'T... MATTER?

I NEVER HAVE REALLY PESTERED YOU ABOUT IT, YOU REALIZE.

[mp-james.livejournal.com]

I AM ARGUING TO ARGUE. AM I NOT ALLOWED TO DO THAT?

[the-instigators.livejournal.com]

NO!

[mp-james.livejournal.com]

DO YOU HAVE TIME TO DEFY ME? WHERE'S HAL? BLOODY LAZY BIRD...

[the-instigators.livejournal.com]

I--

I

I'M TAKING ADVANTAGE OF MUM BEING GONE! DA WON'T SAY ANYTHING ABOUT ME WRITING ON. MUM'LL HAVE MY HEAD FOR IT. I'M JUST TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THE SITUATION!

[mp-james.livejournal.com]

YOU'RE TAKING ADVANTAGE OF MY COMMENT?

THAT'S... THAT'S TOO UNSPEAKABLE FOR WORDS.
