Students Outside the ISS

[alt_moderator]

Alternity gave many of its characters the ability to carry on conversations that were not able to be monitored by the Protectorate. Chief among these were the Order's private lock, for Order members only, and the "ISS" or "I Solemnly Swear" lock, which was created by Fred and George primarily as a way to speak to Terry.

But there were a number of students who were never part of the ISS lock. These students often had to rely on off-journal communication, or carefully couched statements to one another, to make their shifting ideas and allegiances known.

This thread is for any and all questions for the student-characters who were never part of the ISS: Lavender, Linus, Seamus, Padma, Blaise, Zach, Michael, Megan, Ernie, Eloise, Ginny, Daphne, and Milli. And although they don't have played journals of their own, it's possible that if you have a question for an NPC who was not on the ISS lock, we might be able to relay an answer....

It may be worth noting that I, like Ginny, was never a part of ISS. By the time I learned about the Order, I was already 17.

I was openly suspicious of Pansy and Sally Anne after Draco's death, but they likely don't know that I was suspicious well before then.

You see, Pansy, Sally Anne, and Ron were all quite chatty on the journals during our first year or two at Hogwarts. It was quite evident to anyone paying attention that a friendship was brewing. And then there came a point when the journal conversations seemed greatly reduced - even with the addition of the private message function. Yet once more, anyone paying attention could see that Pansy, Sally Anne, and Ron were still friends. But how did they maintain that across houses and without using the journals? I assumed that they found a secret way to communicate in order to not upset Draco and others. I never, imagined, however, that they were part of a seditious organisation! Not until later, anyway.
