Juliet was kind enough to betroth a small mountain of paperwork upon me which she wants completed for tomorrow. Bitch.

Wednesday, with a firm assurance that if it wasn't in tomorrow there'd be all hell to pay.

So do all of us, but we still manage to keep Juliet off our backs and get our paperwork done on time, even Jo manages to do it, though I think that's more fear than good judgement.

Stop emailing back then, there will be no temptation for me then. And may I remind you that you emailed me first, I'm only being polite.

Juliet's been in a bad mood recently Harry, I doubt handing in your homework late will help.

We really should be going home now, it's nearly midnight.
