❛ Why is it on the roof? ❜

GLASS ONION: A KNIVES OUT MYSTERY (2022) SENTENCE STARTERS

    “Your guess is as good as mine,” she replied, staring up in befuddlement at the kneazle that had managed to land itself on a particularly high roof in Hogsmeade. “It doesn’t help that the owner has made it quite clear that it isn’t particularly fond of anyone but them... which makes me question why they asked me to bring it back once I located it.” 

    Truthfully, she questioned why the owner had enlisted her help at all but it seemed to be a habit of the people in Hogsmeade to enlist students---- though admittedly she hadn’t seen many others taking up tasks as frequently as she seemed to be. Or at all really. She was beginning to wonder if this happened to be something to do with being a fresh face in town... 

The Gryffindor hadn't took the other's words at threatening, she understood the Slytherin's point. It was a magic school, things happen. However as a muggleborn, it stumped her how there was no rules or safeguards for the safety of students other than telling them to avoid a corridor.

Nevermind the fact that half the issues were caused by a Poltergeist that delighted in torturing students and a bunch of boys who liked to play mean pranks on others - regardless to the fact those boys were friends of hers. She'd told them more than once she didn't agree with their version of fun.

OH, SO MUCH TOMFOOLERY.

Shall we talk about the time she got into a duel on her first day at Hogwarts? And then cheated in said duel twice?

Or when she got back at Snape for all her T grades by starting a rumor so convincing that years later kids were still saying he was a vampire? Or when she purposely got detention with him to ask incriminating questions about her father without risk of anyone overhearing?

How about all the times she snuck into the Restricted Section? Or snuck out of the castle?

Or maybe her tendency to sass professors in her essays? The "Days Since Last Pun" poster she installed in the Ravenclaw common room to track Flitwick's bad jokes? The weeks she spent determining the best way to derail History of Magic class? (Using modern sources and interpretations to argue with his dated lectures proved most effective. Magically pushing the wall several feet forward until it passed through him proved most entertaining.)

Then there's the time she messed up an experimental spell and couldn't get her wand to stop spouting water for a full day, so she pretended Moaning Myrtle was haunting her dorm room and led the entire Ravenclaw House on a wild goose chase trying to banish Myrtle from the tower?

Or the time she convinced Dumbledore to let her skip school to hang out in the Hog's Head all day? (She wanted to surprise Aberforth for his birthday by giving him a day off work, so that tomfoolery was at least wholesome.)

So, yes, not only was Imogen involved in Hogwarts Tomfoolery, she was the reigning champion of Hogwarts Tomfoolery until the Weasley twins arrived to knock her off her throne.
