Private message to Padma Patil

So, I thought the reception today went pretty well. Do you think Sandoval's pleased with how you're doing? Mr Crispin seemed pleased enough with me. I was trying to spot whether any of the sponsors were cross with their candidates. Yaxley was unhappy with Nott, that was clear. And Avery was not pleased that Weasley arrived so late.

Anyway, you know how we left our bags in the cloak room?

Have you looked in yours? Just wondering.

Well, no, because he'd turned it in before he told us he had it.

If I'd known about it, probably I would have gone ahead and had a look. Because I quite enjoyed the first two, and I'd like to know how it all ends, and I don't think some silly book is going to corrupt me or make me believe less in Our Lord's ideals, any more than it's going to corrupt me if I've read some of the Imposter Black's letters that show up in the journals.

Of course, I think the official version where they didn't let the editor muck everything up (wasn't that what they said happened when they recalled the original?) will be out really soon, isn't it coming this week? So I'll be able to see how it ends. In the new version.

And of course it makes sense, having everyone turn it in who might have it. I quite understand why they think idiots should be kept well clear of anything seditious.

No, but it would be interesting to compare, wouldn't it? Just to see how they corrected everything.

I mean. If someone had a copy of each.
