alt_lupin at 10:18pm on 07/07/2014Did Draco Malfoy mention his plans to you before his shopping trip?
Sirius and Tonks are now having an argument about whether this was a grand idea and the perfect use of James' old cloak, or if the Order is now condoning petty theft and common mischief if we don't make him return the lot. I imagine you don't need two guesses to know who's arguing which side.
(If you're wondering, he came home with a load of self-cleaning nappies that say 'pureblood princess' on the bum, which he gave to Tonks; a lovely designer studded dog collar, which he gave to Sirius; a matching leash, for yours truly; and new clothes and a broom for himself. Also a cabinet's worth of expensive liquor, a rather extensive wardrobe for Hermione since he wasn't sure what she'd like, and a selection of rare potions ingredients which I believe are intended for Severus. From his comments, I think he may have also picked up quite a bit for Moddey, but he's dropped it off already. Was it more like potions ingredients and less like self-cleaning nappies? Though I imagine you lot could put those to good use.)
Tonks noted that the Watch sometimes turns up at our shop to break things, just to show they can. (Since I've been dodging their requests to come out for another round of 'fun,' after last time.) If anyone in the Watch had an invisibility cloak, she thinks they'd do even worse, since they'd get a thrill from acting with impunity. (I'm not convinced, actually; I think part of the thrill for them is the knowledge that people can see them doing it, but not stop them.) But she doesn't want to see the Order become like that. We should agree there are lines we don't cross, and they're not just the big lines, like 'we don't cruciate people for fun or keep slaves,' but also the small lines, like 'we don't commit theft for jollies.'
What did you say to him? Draco, I mean. Neither Tonks nor Sirius has gone to talk to him about it, they're too busy shouting at each other.
