I need you to find Fred and George.

I need you to find them RIGHT NOW!

Mrs Weasley:

This is Lee, one of Fred and George's roommates. I'm here with them both, here in our room, and they're both very much alive.

They're just awfully confused.

[alt_molly]

What on earth is GOING ON?!

[alt_lee]

They....they each think the other is dead. They can't hear each other, they can't perceive each other's touch.

They can catch glimpses of each other, but they think it's some kind of distorted mirror.

The Headmistress is hacked off at them, and...and she hexed them this way. As a punishment.

[alt_lee]

And you can tell each of them the other one's alive, and they forget it three minutes later. It's like a confundus charm mixed up with an obliviate, too.

[alt_molly]

Oh, my stars!

[alt_charlie]

Oh, thank MERLIN.

...What happened before all this started?

[alt_lee]

It's a punishment.

Order Only

[alt_lee]

She found out, Charlie. She found out about the fireworks. I guess she got it from one of the portraits.

They got called into her office at breakfast time, and they've been like this since.

I think, from some of the disjointed things they've said, that her first order was that they were supposed to cruciate each other.

They refused.

So SHE did it, and then hexed them. And sent them on their way, telling them to show up in her office tomorrow morning, too.

Her pattern is she puts these punishments on people for three days, renewing it every morning.

NO STINKING WAY!

[alt_charlie]

Right. Right, then.

Mum, I'll be over in a few minutes, don't do anything until I get there.

[alt_bill]

Hurry. She's about to go beserk.

Come to think of it, I am too.

[alt_charlie]

Yeah. Make that three.

[alt_percy]

What could they possibly have done to deserve that?

[alt_bill]

ARE YOU CRAZY? NOTHING COULD POSSIBLY DESERVE THAT!!

Private message to Percy

[alt_ginny]

She says they set off the fireworks on Friday night but Bill's right, IT DOESN'T MATTER. She could have given them detention till the end of the year or made them use the punishment quill or cursed them not to be able to get near each other or hexed them to make them sick or hexed them to make their heads hurt or made them skip meals or made them say terrible things to each other (those are all things she's done to people, it's not as if she has any trouble thinking of horrible things to do to people.)

THIS WAS NOT OKAY. THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING THEY COULD POSSIBLY HAVE DONE THAT WOULD MAKE THIS PUNISHMENT OKAY.

Private message to Percy

[alt_ginny]

And Percy, she didn't just make them think the other was dead, she made each of them think it was his fault the other was dead!

I wouldn't cast something like this on my worst enemy!

Private Message to Lee Jordan

[alt_cedric]

Do they need anything that I could provide? If there's anything, just get a message to me and I'll try to provide.

Re: Private Message to Lee Jordan

[alt_lee]

Thank you, I really appreciate it. I think we're set for now--they're pretty quiet for the moment, and we have lots of people hovering around anxious to help here. Besides our roommates, his brother and sister are here, too, and a few other friends.

(We might need you more when they come back to their senses. Maybe in restraining them from blowing up the school in an utter fury. What a bloody, vile thing to do to them.)

Re: Private Message to Lee Jordan

[alt_cedric]

Alright. If the first part changes let me know.

Talk to me tomorrow about that last part and maybe we can find a way to channel their energy somewhere constructive.
