"Yep."

Timothy gets a cat. It's a very docile cat.

Well that's creepy but Miranda doesn't say anything.

Except once when nobody else is around she asks if Feverfew would be able to step through her bracelet.

"Sometimes. Possibly all the time, couldn't exactly ask if the bracelet was rated for the Imperius and wasn't good enough yet to test it."

"I was mostly wondering if it's supposed to apply to animals."

"Haven't checked that either. They might never be relevantly in their right mind. Our elves can put it on and take it off, that I was curious about."

"Oh, I should've thought to ask that one.

- I'd like to know if it works on Feverfew."

Feverfew obediently walks over and steps on the bracelet. It doesn't go.

"As your prefect I feel obliged to observe I could fake that result," Timothy says.

"But you couldn't have faked her going through if she couldn't go through."

"Not unless I'd gotten you a fake bracelet, or one that I know how to override."

"I don't know what to do to find out if you can override it but it's not fake, Karen Cheering Charmed herself and couldn't put it on."

Nod. "I'm not actually trying to frighten you, I just don't want you underestimating, ah, this game or people who play it."

"I'm not frightened of you. I'm just paying attention."

Feverfew settles herself in Timothy's lap. 

Miranda goes.

Shortly before Easter hols Karen is having a broomstick duel and someone's bizarre hex knocks her off her broom all the way into the lake.

Where several merpeople very courteously let her do a Bubble-head charm before they drag her underwater.

But she didn't hurt them! Can't they tell - the ones who did that were pale humans and she is a brown human -

Yes they can tell! Is she not the brown human they already had this discussion with, they can't distinguish farther than the colors thing. Anyway, they're going to trade her for the humans who did hurt Flkambjxr, she still has panic attacks when she goes near the surface.

No that was a different brown human.

Well all right. Soon people will come looking for her and then they'll trade.

What if they won't trade the other humans. There's six of them and only one of her.

But the other humans wronged the merpeople, do humans not understand that?

Yes it's just they think they should punish them themselves.

But then the merpeople have no assurance it was handled appropriately.
