Private message to Padma Patil

[alt_seamus]

Padma -- I really hope you're not alone. Do you want to come over here, this afternoon?

I don't know how far the rumour's spread, so you might already know. But Mr Rosier told me that MLE was called yesterday to a muggle camp in Argyll Scotland, because Draco and Snape turned up there and Snape killed Draco.

There was more -- he didn't know what was true and what was exaggeration. But he was certain Draco was dead.

What?

No. Really? Seriously?

Wow.

Hang on. I'm going to--make an offering. I'll be back in a bit.

[alt_padma]

Okay.

I'm back. I should tell Mum and Pav. I wonder if Pavs will want to postpone her sangeet.

Do you know if there's going to be a public funeral? They came to Sanji's, remember? Mr and Mrs Malfoy. We should return the honour. If there's going to be one.

I mean...was he--was he really a traitor? (Oh, I don't know if you heard but supposedly these messages are really and truly private right now, so it's almost like we're talking in person. Unless that's a lie, I dunno for sure if it's true.)

Is a sangeet a wedding? Or something leading up to the wedding?

Mr Rosier thinks there's going to be a funeral or memorial of some sort, he has the elf getting our dress robes ready and all the rest. But we don't know when, yet.

And -- Draco. A traitor. It's really hard to believe. But, here's the thing. He was refusing to answer questions -- when he ran away, he was all bloody and beat up, because he was refusing to tell them what they wanted to know.

And he ran.

Maybe Snape took him and killed him, but people saw Draco running, Snape didn't have him YET. He ran away from MLE. If he were innocent, you know, there's veritaserum and legilimency and lots of ways to prove it, right?

But then he came back, so maybe

I don't know what to think.

Oh, it happens before. But we can't have a wedding if the family are in mourning, only I guess we don't technically have to mourn. It's not as if Draco were part of the family.

But if there's a national mourning or something, then we'd postpone. I dunno. It's really up to Pavs.

And whether or not he died a hero or something else. Though Harry certainly defended him and I agree, it's hard to imagine he could have been actually treasonous. If anything I think it was just that Granger tempted him, like the stories said, and he had a lapse of judgement.
