14 Smuppets

So. I'm not sure exactly how this happened, but somehow Dumbledore decided that I'm suitable for the position of HoH for Gryffindor.

[He's... quite honestly pretty damn shocked by this. He never expected to be entrusted with such a huge responsibility, and... Well. He considers it a huge honor. Gryffindor is important to him, even if it's for stupid reasons. Even if he had to argue in order to get put in Gryffindor, back when he was in school. But even more than the simply fact he values Gryffindor traits, the simple act of being given so much responsibility means a lot to him, because it shows that Dumbledore has seen how much he's changed. He's been trying to do better lately, and it honestly feels like all of his effort has paid off. He's determined to not let him down.]

So yeah, I guess that's... that. I'm not really sure what to say, but I have to say; it's an honor. I'm going to take this position seriously, so anyone who thinks this means Gryffindor is going to be able to slack off has another thing coming to them.

But with that said, you ever need anything don't hesitate to ask, got it? I was given this for a reason, which means you can trust me with stuff. I'm here for you guys. In fact, I might as well go ahead and say you're all part of the Strider family now, now that I'm the Head of House. Who knows, maybe I'll even hand out shades.

[The next bit is filtered away from Murdoc.]

By the way, tomorrow ain't just V-day. It's also Professor Donoghue's birthday, so be sure to wish him a happy birthday. Maybe give him an apple or somethin'. Whatever floats your boat.

You're also all invited to my office for a surprise party tomorrow, around 8 PM. If you guys don't come, I'm gonna be real disappointed.

Oh please forgive me, not every father has a child wonderful enough to be willing to hook him up with a wedding dress.

[seeringlight]

You should know better. I only try to please you, father.

[plushaeusrumpified]

Well you should know I appreciate it very much, little lady. We'll have to go shopping for dresses real soon, huh? Man, I can barely contain my excitement.

[seeringlight]

I'm so very excited; I'm at the edge of my seat.
I've only ever wanted to go dress shopping with my father figure all my life.

[plushaeusrumpified]

Oh really? Well maybe we should go right now, if it'll make all your dreams come true. Who am I to deny you them?

[seeringlight]

I think you would look positively smashing in a Sunday dress.

[plushaeusrumpified]

I'll owl you my measurements and you can order me something beautiful, how's that sound?

[seeringlight]

You know mother would never stop sending you clothes after.
She has a terrible way of getting her hands into things that are not hers. For better or worst.

[plushaeusrumpified]

I dunno, I think I could handle that. I've been thinking my wardrobe could use a little sprucing up. Maybe this is exactly what I need.

[seeringlight]

I do feel like there is quite a lack of colors in your wardrobe. For shame!

[plushaeusrumpified]

What, are you serious? I didn't think you could ever go wrong with simple black and white. Are you honestly saying there's something wrong with my color scheme?

[seeringlight]

It's boring, father. People like to see some color once in awhile!

[plushaeusrumpified]

Fiiiine. I guess you're right.

[seeringlight]

I expect to see some slight wardrobe changes in the near future.

[plushaeusrumpified]

Yes, master.
