a_t_rainPercy had stormed from the house on Christmas Day with his glasses covered in mashed parsnip (for which Fred, George, and Ginny all claimed credit). -- HBP, p. 349.
"Well, we find we appreciate you more and more, Mum, now we're washing our own socks," said George, waving an airy hand. "Parsnips, Remus?" -- HBP, p. 339.
Heh. I think Fred, George, and Ginny are ALL lying. Waddiwasi!
Oh, and I've decided that I find Angelo in Measure for Measure oddly sexy, in a repressed ice-prince sort of way. Am I weird?

Date: 2005-09-30 01:47 pm (UTC)My take on it: I have this lovely little mental image of Percy having gotten in with Umbridge during his first year at the Ministry by showing brown-nosed support of the Werewolf Legislation, and at some point, Remus ended up getting into a confrontation of sorts with the self-satisfied little jerk. (I might have to write that. That'd be fun.) Taking a cue from Mordant , Remus might've had to do some sort of check-in with the Ministry -- imagine if it was Percy holding the quill, asking stupid questions and giving off an air of superiority (and, considering Percy's actions these past two books, probably pretending he'd never seen Lupin before). That may breed a fair bit of resentment and anger, eh? Plus, Lupin was the one who comforted Molly after Percy had sent the jumper back on Christmas day, so he knows the score.
Now I really want to write a nasty Percy-is-being-a-jerk-to-Lupin scene. Oooh, off to play.
I'd love to see your take on it; mine was rather half-baked, as most of my stories are, y'know. The joys of being something of a beginner. ;) - LB

Date: 2005-09-30 03:05 am (UTC)Well, Isabella didn't actually say yes, did she? (I have a theory that as soon as her moment in the spotlight is over, she considers herself to have officially joined the convent and so decides to obey its rules -- i.e. if you talk to men, you can't show your face, and if you're showing your face in the presence of men, don't talk. Which would explain why she neither answers the marriage proposal nor comments on Claudio's sudden resurrection.)
Nice to meet you, BTW!

Date: 2005-09-30 02:11 pm (UTC)For this reason, I find the idea of Lupin doing it rather out of character, as he's famous for giving second chances to people everyone else has written off.

Date: 2005-09-30 02:17 pm (UTC)About the only reason why I think it might be out of character for Lupin was that Molly ended up crying, but for all we know she could have started crying first; I wouldn't be surprised if Percy dropped the pretense as soon as Scrimgeour had got what he wanted.

Date: 2005-09-30 02:57 pm (UTC)Not that Percy's a plaster saint or anything - he's certainly a ravening careerist. But the twins have a nasty streak a mile wide, and have never been known to give Percy the benefit of the doubt at any time.
Besides, if Scrimgeour wanted to talk to Harry, he could simply have come to knock on the door. There was no need for Percy to be there.

Date: 2005-09-30 05:04 pm (UTC)He was not fooled; for all Scrimgeour's talk that they had just been in the area, that Percy wanted to look up his family, this must be the real reason that they had come, so that Scrimgeour could speak to Harry alone.

Date: 2005-09-30 07:38 pm (UTC)Back to the Remus question, he is eminently capable of throwing foodstuffs of all descriptions - goodness knows, he must have had enough practice at Hogwarts. It's just that throwing it as someone like Percy would be a bit like shooting a sitting duck - not quite sporting.
(actually, I've just remembered that he thought Snape was fair game at Hogwarts... better just retire, comprehensively crushed.... I'll get me coat...)

Date: 2005-10-01 11:08 am (UTC)Of course, I fall in love with Hamlet and/or the actor playing him every time I see the play, so I'm all for falling for Shakespearean characters with Issues.
(See icon of Alex Jennings, who has, to the best of my knowledge, played them both.)
