"But of course!" With skills honed from years of stealing food from Yomi, Tomo managed to snatch a couple of cookies from the buffet table without even pausing. "So the Sorting Hat held this awards ceremony last summer, but instead of getting awards, it locked everybody in the room and decided it was randomly marrying people off whether they liked it or not! And then it decided we all had to live out in this tent village outside. It married me and this other girl Lola to a beet-obsessed pervert. Who wanted us to wear bonnets and grow beets and wanted to skin dead animals in the bedroom!"
She paused for a bite of cookie, chewing and swallowing before she continued. "Of course, nobody was going without a fight! It took a whole army of house elves with cattle prods to get us down there. And then they stuck around to keep us from escaping! I kicked hundreds of 'em in the first week alone. We tried food warfare, espionage, exploding beets, declared war on the Hat. And someone even tried a lawsuit!" Even Tomo knew that was scarier than food warfare.
