Your accusation is libelous, and I think we deserve an apology. Every single one of my siblings and I were in the Gryffindor Common Room from the end of the dinner hour through until curfew, as multiple witnesses will be able to attest.
Sorry your brothers are such an embarrassment. Why can't you bring them into line? I mean, you at least have some sense of propriety. I'm sure if you'd been there you'd have done what you needed to do to stop them, because at least you behave like a proper wizard.
But Sandoval was out past curfew, on account of her Transfiguration meeting and then getting hexed, and anyway, I hardly think this is the kind of thing anyone could risk casting when other people are about. In other words, the tampering probably happened after curfew, which is when your alibi ends, isn't it?
I mean, how do you know they didn't leave after everyone was asleep? Were you watching them all night?
Do you honestly think anyone else would have done it?
Anyway, it's not really harmful, is it, just rude. And that's your brothers all over.
As a matter of fact, I have made inquiries. One of the Gryffindor prefects, Horatio Hooper, sat in the common room the entire night: he just got over the flu last week, and so he stayed up through the night to catch up on writing his Potions and Charms essay assignments. He swears that none of us set foot outside the common room the entire night. Speak to him yourself if you like.
And I did get a laugh out of that one rhyme... what was it? Something about 'wasting youth / grim truth'? It went by so fast.
Anyway, I don't care if they hexed the ceiling, so long as they weren't the ones who hurt Sandoval. Because then they'd really be in trouble - which I don't think the ceiling charm will be. At least, not unless it says something really daft.
She's got a point though, hasn't she? I mean, whenever there's mischief going on, it's usually your brothers doing it. That's not libellous, it's true.
Boys, I've been thinking of you so much today. It seems hard that I can't send the usual birthday owl, but don't fear, your presents will be waiting for you when you get home! Your father and I send you all our love.
Happy birthday, Fred and George. Charlie and I have pooled our Galleons and gotten tickets to take you to the Holyhead Harpies versus the Appleby Arrows in July. Sorry it'll be late for your birthday, but it's difficult to bundle a Quidditch game into an owl post anyway.

They probably ambushed Sandoval last night when she caught them setting this whole thing up.
