Private message to Padma Patil

[alt_seamus]

It's good to finally feel useful.

I've been thinking about who we ought to suggest Dolohov bring in to answer questions about the writing on the walls. I completely agree with Weasley and Longbottom, actually. Also Bundy. But what do you think about some of the Slytherins? And is there anyone in your own House you think might be involved?

I was thinking about what you said before, how it's always the Gryffindors and why can't we find traitors in any other House for a change. What about Remy Jugson? You and he used to be close but you haven't been talking about him for ages. He's just the sort of troublemaker who'd find all this fuss terribly amusing.

If there are any Ravenclaws involved, Rubens and Ross are probably part of it. And the thing is, the messages we've heard about so far all seem like they should be coming from the older students, but it's possible I guess that some of their younger siblings are stirring things up.

Also, good on you for going and telling Archer to shut her gob.

Well, apparently Hydra thinks the Slytherins are all her territory. I can't imagine she'll turn in Remy, he's her cousin after all.

We were drifting apart already. And then after I took the Mark -- he said it just seemed weird. I think I changed in his eyes, even though I'm exactly the same as I always was.

You're right, it's just the sort of thing he'd think was a laugh. Not because he's disloyal, because it would get people riled up.

Yeah, good thought on Rubens and Ross.

I had my eye on Belisarius Burbage this morning, too.

Luna Lovegood! Though I'd half expect hers to say 'remember the blithering humdinger' or something mad like that.

[alt_padma]

Oh, Loony! Of course. Honestly, we might do the whole school a favour, there.

So maybe we can't name Porkinson and Perks without crossing Hydra.

But she didn't say one word about know-it-all Hufflepuffs.
