IO to Tony and Terry Only

[mc_mike]

This is bigger than us at the moment, Boot. Tradition is everything.


Blushing Venus.


Topping last year's is a given. Any ideas?

Blushing Venus, Mike? Couldn't you have found a cheesier name?

[http://users.livejournal.com/mike_corner_/]

Oi, shut it. I happen to think it's much better than last year's Flaming Knickers. And whose idea was that one, Tony?

[http://users.livejournal.com/_anthony_g/]

I was just taking the piss! You were the ones who took me seriously!

[http://users.livejournal.com/mike_corner_/]

That's what you say now, but that's not how I recall it. Flaming Knickers. Half of Ravenclaw thought for weeks we were talking about some charm we'd placed on our knobs.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_anthony_g/]

Yeah. I almost died when Roger Davies got pissed because we wouldn't tell him what charm it was.

[http://users.livejournal.com/mike_corner_/]

He was right pissed about that, wasn't he? That was bloody hilarious. I haven't been able to look him in the eye since without wanting to call him Roger, the Red Hot Todger.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_anthony_g/]

Did it under my breath once. Very satisfying.

[http://users.livejournal.com/mike_corner_/]

NO WAY!

[http://users.livejournal.com/_anthony_g/]

It's true!

[http://users.livejournal.com/mike_corner_/]

That's probably one of the boldest things you've ever done, mate. I'm proud. Young Tony, you are growing up so quickly.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_anthony_g/]

It's not that bold, really. He didn't hear me. Kind of like you never hear it when I do it to you.

[http://users.livejournal.com/mike_corner_/]

Bolder than I thought you could be. What kind of shite have you been muttering about me?

[http://users.livejournal.com/_anthony_g/]

Oh, nothing.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_boot_terry/]

I reckon it is, Corner.

Blushing Venus. Well, I wager it's a tad sight tamer than last year's, I'll give you that.

"To my dearest, lovely Padma,
I would give my all to have ya,
if only you'd look my way.

You dance through my dreams,
and as odd as it seems,
here's something I'm too shy to say.

Beautiful Ravenclaw, Padma Patil,
I honestly do love you still,
and will to my last living day.

So in the name of St. Valentine,
please agree to be mine,
And I'll happily give you a lay." *g*

Thoughts? ;)

[http://users.livejournal.com/_anthony_g/]

Oi, mate, that was almost romantic! What happened to you?

Hmm, my only quibble is with the last two verses. We all know she doesn't have to agree to anything for us to happily give her a lay, after all. Mike, what do you say?

[http://users.livejournal.com/_boot_terry/]

Ah, true enough, Tony.

What do you mean, 'what happened to you?'? I've *always* been romantic and shite *g*. If you haven't learned yet, Anthony, *that's* how I get all the girls!

[http://users.livejournal.com/_anthony_g/]

Actually, Terry, you get all the girls because you are a hunky piece of man flesh. And that's a direct quote. We've heard girls talk.

[http://users.livejournal.com/mike_corner_/]

That's what you said in your sleep the other night, if I am remembering things right.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_anthony_g/]

Well, isn't he just dreamy? :P

I said nothing of the sort, by the way.

[http://users.livejournal.com/mike_corner_/]

Such a fine specimen of man flesh, our Terry.

Then who exactly was the hunky piece of man flesh you were mumbling about?

[http://users.livejournal.com/_anthony_g/]

I said nothing of the sort! But it says a lot about your thought process that that was what you heard, Mike.

[http://users.livejournal.com/mike_corner_/]

I wouldn't expect to remember saying that since you were asleep at the time. It's okay Tony. I am sure all of Hogwart's female population agrees with you, with a few notable exceptions. And why are we still talking like this?

[http://users.livejournal.com/_anthony_g/]

Because we're mentally deranged.

[http://users.livejournal.com/mike_corner_/]

You have no way to prove that, you know.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_anthony_g/]

... yeah.

[http://users.livejournal.com/mike_corner_/]

Truer words have never been spoken. She's a minx, that one, and she doesn't even know it.

As for the presentation - shall we go with strolling minstrels or dress in drag as Celestina Warbeck? I don't reckon last year's cupid costumes still fit.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_anthony_g/]

I still think we should be getting the house elves to do it for us.

[http://users.livejournal.com/mike_corner_/]

Have an aversion to dressing up, Tony? You could have Hermione do your hair and make-up. Or at least those dormmates of hers.

It's about perfection. Can we leave something of such great importance in the hands of a bunch of House Elves?

[http://users.livejournal.com/_anthony_g/]

I can!

[http://users.livejournal.com/mike_corner_/]

No.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_anthony_g/]

Yes!

[http://users.livejournal.com/mike_corner_/]

No. Let me explain this to you again:

TRADITION.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_anthony_g/]

Who gives a rat's clacker about tradition?!

[http://users.livejournal.com/mike_corner_/]

You're performing. There is no getting out of it. If you don't stop complaining, you'll be wearing your incredibly small cupid costume. That nappy will only hide half your arse now, I think.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_anthony_g/]

I'm serious, Corner. You might've been able to make me go through this in years past, but that was back when I couldn't say no.

But not this time! I have matured. I have actually taken points and given detentions. I have told my brother to sod off. I have a girlfriend. And I can now say to you, Michael, that I am NOT going to do it. No way.

[http://users.livejournal.com/mike_corner_/]

Cut the shite. You're sodding doing it if I have to dress you up myself and levitate your arse down to the common room.

It's for Padma. That alone should be reason enough.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_anthony_g/]

No.

Padma understands.

[http://users.livejournal.com/mike_corner_/]

You're doing it, end of discussion.

It's about principle. She may understand, but deep down she would be irrevocably disappointed.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_anthony_g/]

... she wouldn't.

[http://users.livejournal.com/mike_corner_/]

Do you really want to risk disappointing her?

[http://users.livejournal.com/_anthony_g/]

Michael, Padma is not a sadist. My pain and humiliation might amuse you, but not her. She has no reason to doubt my love!

[http://users.livejournal.com/mike_corner_/]

Damn right it amuses me, mate, but it isn't like you'd be the only one dressed up.

She may not doubt it, but I do.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_anthony_g/]

Why would I mind that you doubt my love for Padma?

[http://users.livejournal.com/mike_corner_/]

Why must you be such a prat?

[http://users.livejournal.com/_anthony_g/]

Michael.

[http://users.livejournal.com/mike_corner_/]

Anthony.
