AN: This little collection was for the The Summer 2013 Wizarding Modly Forum-Wide Comp of Awesomeness on the HPFC. This week: History of Magic. Option b. Pass notes to your classmates. Tell a story entirely through letters/notes/articles/textbooks etc - no normal narrative allowed! Stipulation: include a Slytherin character at some point, either as a mere mention or one of the main characters. Even Professor Scrunchy will catch you passing notes if you aren't sneaky enough! Maximum word count is 1,200 words.

AN2: For each of the three protagonists, I've used a different font. For Scorpius I've used bold. For Rose, I've used normal type and for Albus I've used italics. Rose and Scorpius are both Ravenclaws in this and Albus is in Slytherin.

Rose, have you given any more thought to my suggestion?

No

Come on Rose, you know it'll be fun:D

I am NOT, stress NOT going to try and determine the sex of the Giant Squid. Have you seen the size of that thing? What could you possibly say to me that would make me want to do this?

Phfft. Rose, this is ME we're talking about. It'll be perfectly safe. It's not like the Giant Squid is dangerous after all. It's the most docile creature here at Hogwarts.

How docile do you think he will be if we start prodding him? And of course it's you. THAT'S why I have my doubts. I still remember the last time you said it would be perfectly safe. I still remember Fluffy the fire beetle.

You DID startle him Rose. I'm sure he didn't mean to set your bed on fire.

With me in it!

Well you did get out before anything happened. And I did help put the fire out. Besides, it's nothing like that. I'm not trying to get a new pet, I just want to answer a question.

Isn't there a spell you can cast? Or a book? Books are good. Less likely to bite.

I don't think the Giant Squid even has teeth.

Why does that not fill me with confidence?

I can't say I know. I can't do the charm that will tell me the Giant Squid's sex. It's picked up so much magic at Hogwarts, gets in the way. And nobodies bothered to record it either.

If you two lovebirds would care to pay attention to the class, Professor Nott is looking our way.

We're NOT lovebirds! Distrat him, he's YOUR head of house!

How do I 'distrat someone?

Albus, I know you're my cousin and everything, but you can be really annoying at times. You know what I meant.

ASP, Professor Nott is giving me the evil eye.

Probably something to do with the fact that two of his Ravenclaw students are passing notes in class.

Probably because you think I'm more amendable to a bad idea in potions class.

Rose!? That note was for ASP!

Credit me with some intelligence. Why isn't he giving you the evil eye Al? You're passing notes too.

I've already finished the potion. AND he wants me to be ready for the Ravenclaw/Slytherin match tomorrow.

Please Rose, have I ever asked you to do something you thought was a bad idea?

Yes

But you always came around to my way of thinking.

Is Scorpius trying to get you involved with another one of his crazy ideas Rose.

I only want to see what sex the Ginat Squid is ASP. Rosie's not being nice Do you want to help me instead?

Scorpius, I come under the category of sane. And I'm too much of a coward to get involved.

I'm not a coward! Scorpius, I'm in.

Presumably after you get out of the detention Professor Nott has just given you.

It'll be something to look forward too, for when we get out.

Not. Really. Encouraging.

Come on Rose. Don't you want to know?

Well, I suppose…could be fun.

Of course it'll be fun!

Fine. See you after dinner then…

Professor Nott, I think I can safely say that there's a good chance Rose WON'T be playing against me.

Rose will be fine with me. I honestly don't see why you're so convinced she'll get hurt.

I'm not even answering that one.
