Mr Rosier got me a subscription to the Daily Prophet. He said I might not find it that interesting yet. But that Im good at history and that a newspaper is the first draft of history. So I might like it more as time goes on. It comes in the morning at breakfast and usually I dont have time to read it. Well other than the bits about Quidditch, those dont take too long anyway. But I brought it along to History of Magic today and it was a lot more interesting than Binns at least.

There was a long article about the mudblood escape. The last of them were caught during the week end. A wizard took them in! The newspaper had an interview with some of his neighbors. The Dames, their the ones who saw him with the mudbloods, they said Mr Thompson had always seemed off. They also interviewed an old lady who said he was such a sweet man she couldnt believe hed turned out to be a traitor and maybe the mudbloods had used the imperius curse. Except the mudbloods had no wands until Mr Thompson let them use his! She was just making excuses. I reckon it stands to reason you wouldnt like to think your neighbor was a traitor. Especially if youd never noticed anything wrong before.

Speaking of mudbloods, Professor Carrows mudblood was back today. He was setting things out when we came in. Neville tried to say hello to him but he wouldnt answer. Or look up even. So Professor Carrow didnt eat him send him back to the mudblood camp after all. I wonder if hed been at that camp if hed have run away like the others?

Do you still have your copy of today's paper? I'd like to read that article, about the escape and all. Better than trying to do that Transfiguration essay, not to mention the wand practise. I thought we were done with textures, but I just don't get how to do frills at all. Mine look more like scales. It didn't help when Terry had to go get me another pillowcase 'cause I burned up the first. Professor Carrow was glaring at me like anything.

(It was sort of good to see him again, even if he didn't want to talk at all--Terry Boot, I mean.)

Former wizard, small one. Remember that Mr Thompson will be a mudblood now.

What does that mean, exactly, ma'am? If you don't mind explaining. I mean, I get that his wand gets taken away from him, but then what happens next? Does he have to go to a camp? What happens to his house and all of his stuff? If he had any kids, would the same thing happen to them, even if they hadn't done anything themselves?

The man will be sent to a camp to live with other mudbloods. The manager of the Estate will put his flat for let and his belongings will go to his closest kin. If he did not have kin, the belongings would be either sold, donated, or destroyed. His children are grown, so nothing will happen to them. They will have to endure the shame of their Father's crime and betrayal. If his children were small they would be left with mother, so long as she is found innocent of the father's transgressions. If the children had no mother, or if the mother were also guilty, the children would be placed with an appropriate foster family.

Boot wouldn't have ever run away Mr Finnegan, he's a

ORDER ONLY

I know, I know I know I need to not respond! Only I'm so worried that something worse will happen to poor Terry if people think he'd do something like that. He would never, not when there was a chance of getting caught.

Professor Carrow's mudblood wouldn't run away. He wouldn't dare. He doesn't even look at people now.

Well thats good. People here dont realize how dangerous muggles can be and mudbloods are even more dangerous than muggles. Because they could do magic, if they had wands.
