Private message to Padma

[alt_seamus]

Are you doing alright?

Everyone's pretty shocked. Holding it together, more or less.

Did you see ... on the Headmaster's post?

Do you think it's really him?

No.

And if Crouch would murder his own bride like that, without hardly a twitch--

I.... Well, it almost makes me glad she wasn't married to him for long. Almost.

[alt_seamus]

When Our Lord tells you that you have to kill someone, you don't say no.

[alt_padma]

Well, I know, but...things like Ollerton, that's a bit different.

Do you think He really thought Daphne was a traitor, or He was just testing Crouch? Because you know once or maybe twice before, Crouch was set to get married and Our Lord put a stop to it then, too.

Do you think He was just...toying with him?

[alt_seamus]

I don't know.

He might have had a reason. He must have had a reason. It might not have really been treason, though.

[alt_padma]

Well, He had good reasons when He made you do what you did. That was for the Realm, though, and it had to be done.

You're not worried about that, are you? That's what I mean when I said it's different.

[alt_seamus]

Not worried, not exactly. Just thinking about it.
