The 3rd floor Common Room Thursday Evening 9/14

[lovelymissbrown.livejournal.com]

Lavender is cooking up a storm. It had all started when she decided it was her turn to cook after all the free food she’d eaten in the common rooms since she arrived in Fandom. But it looks like she got a little carried away.

On the table is a tray piled with Cornish pasties, a large bowl of mashed potatoes, a plate of fried tomatoes, another bowl filled with peas and carrots, a roast chicken and a pitcher of gravy. She was just leaning down to take out a vegetable casserole and then she was going to put in the Spotted Dick She hoped she'd made enough.

She’d also set out a large pitcher of pumpkin juice.

Damnit I left the fudge in my room! she thought to herself, wiping her hands on her apron.

"He's not generally fond of the..." Peter looked for a good word. "The power structure of anything. He calls them 'the man' so he's starting a club to fight against it. I suppose?"

"Ah ok. Quesitoning authority is good."

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

Peter grinned. "If you say so. I can't always agree."

[lovelymissbrown.livejournal.com]

"Hmm people in authority tend to lie in my experience."

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

"I suppose it would depend on the person then," Peter remarked.

"This is very true. Harry Potter, for instance? Not a liar. If he doesn't tell you something it's for avery good reason. The Minister for Magic on the other had..... lies, lies and more lies."

Peter smiled. "The more I hear of your Harry, the more I like him. And...I don't know the situation, but sometimes one gets caught up in doing the easy thing and forgets the right one."

"He forced the paper to print that Harry's warnings were the rambling a crazy egotist. The put him on trial for defendin himself." Lavender's voice got very small. "And at first, I belived them."

"Sometimes it's difficult not to," Peter agreed. "And when you were shown it was wrong, you changed your mind. That says lots for you."

"Well acutally Hermione told me to shut my big fat mouth...." Lavender laughed.

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

"Why do I think she used those exact words?" Peter asked with a grin.

[lovelymissbrown.livejournal.com]

"Cause you've met her?" Lavender grinned back. "Have you ever seen a wild animal try to protect it's young? Then you have a godo idea of what Hermione looks like when anyone tries to talk to or about Harry and Ron."

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

Peter ducked his head. "I have no idea what that could possibly be like."

Lavender bit her lip. "I lived with Hermione for five years and I really.... I spose it still is different here."

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

"It probably is. Not to mention that you're now a year ahead of the Hermione here. So if...anything happened in the past year that would affect her, it's probably not something she ought to know about." Peter was concerned more than harsh though he worried about the situation.

"I've already told her a few things I shouldn't have. Things that she did in my timeline that helped the war indirectly. I gave her information so she would do it in hers too." Lavender bit her lip. "Our relationship has always been... strained." Lavender looked at the ceiling.
"I hate that she still gets to me. I haven't even spoken to her in a week."

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

Peter smiled at her. "You can't get along with everyone. We Brits are the masters of the chilly politeness."

Lavender smiled back. "Parvarti, my best friend from back home, used to tell me I was too emotional to be British." She grinned.
