Derek:
Heh. Literally!  From OotP Chapter 27 (page 619 in the U.S. edition):

[begin quoted section]
"Weasley!" cried Fudge, now positively quivering with delight, "Weasley,
have you written it all down, everything he's said, his confession, have
you got it?"

"Yes, sir, I think so, sir!" said Percy eagerly, whose nose was
splattered with ink from the speed of his note-taking.

Back to Derek:
Chortle!  Was that *brown* ink, I have to wonder??  :-D

possibly impersonated by Peter Pettigrew.)
