alt_seamusSo are you rested up yet? Mr Rosier says I can have the rest of the summer off from revising and I should invite some friends over.
Did Mr Peakes want to talk through every detail of what happened at CCF? Because Mr Rosier did, when I got home. We've been going through each challenge and he wants me to analyse why the winning team won. Of course he had me start with my own challenge but he had me think about what would have turned the losing team into the winning team, at least when I knew something about the mistakes they made.
It's actually been really interesting.
He wanted to talk to me about what happened when you were leading, with Katrina. He doesn't think I did anything wrong, exactly, but he wanted me to be careful not to make myself the enforcer. He said, every leader NEEDS someone who's willing to do whatever's necessary, but they don't often want that person's counsel, when a decision has to be made.
I said, what about Auror Lestrange?
He said Auror Lestrange is an exception. Kind of. He thinks Lucius Malfoy has more influence than she does. And aside from Auror Lestrange, the others in MLE who do the really heavy interrogations, you know -- that's pretty much ALL they get to do.
Anyway. He thinks it was a reasonable thing to try, under the circumstances, but I should try to avoid doing it again. He said I could always fall back on my House's image, we're supposed to be chivalrous.
He also suggested that I go to Bundy and apologise and offer to let her hex me. Get it over with, so I don't have to watch my back all year. He said she probably won't, or at WORST she'll do to me what I did to her. But if I wait until she has a chance to get me from behind, she'll do something a lot worse, and probably at the worst possible time. (He said, Slytherins have a reputation as grudge holders but no one holds a grudge like a Hufflepuff or a quiet Gryffindor.)
