Where'd my stuff go?

((Wait... it says Rhys is in PA, is she not? In which case I'll edit my post... but that's what PA is, the rebellion. >.>))

[OOC:Rhys is NOT In PA.... she's very confused XDD You guys are talking about it and she's all "Da fudge is going on?" ]

((Then why does her sign say PA, and she is on the list))

Noah had been sitting by the fire since the conversation began, but only now did he feel the need to interject.

"Sam and Louis are right," he said, still staring into the fire. He hadn't had many things confiscated - he had few pairs of muggle clothes and even fewer other muggle items, but that didn't mean he couldn't put in his two cents. "It isn't what they took that matters Rhys," he said, twisting his neck so he could see the girl. "It's the fact that they took it. It's unreasonable and it shows that they're not afraid to search our stuff - violate our rights - for pointless reasons." He shrugged. "If it was dangerous stuff, then sure, yeah, I could get that. But who are we going to harm with a pair of pants?" He asked. "It's a signal to us that they can do what they want, take what they want, and nobody is going to stop them,"

He sighed and turned back to the fire. "You said we still have each other Rhys. But what's going to happen when we don't? If they consider everyday muggle items bad enough to confiscate, it's only a matter of time before they "confiscate" the people they perceive as a threat. It's standard bad guy tactic."

[OOC: Sorry! I forgot that she was! Keep going!]

Sam jumped nearly a foot in the air as a voice came from near the fireplace, one which he didn't recognise at first, before finally making the link between the boy who was by the fireplace, and his fellow fifth year, Noah.

"Gosh man, you gave me a fright there," he said, the hint of a grin playing on his lips as he listened to what was being said. "That's exactly what I thought, I mean, I might want to strangle some of those guards with the jeans if the opportunity presented itself, but that's not really a danger is it," he said slowly.

"But you're right, one removal of liberty is just a step away from another, and it always just gets worse and worse, like a domino effect, I think that the time for giving the benefit of the doubt is over," he said quietly.
