Private message to Padma

[alt_seamus]

I hope you can read this.

I was able to retreat last night. Mr Rosier was killed right in front of me by a curse from Draco Malfoy.

I feel like the entire world is turned upside down.

I know you were in the hospital wing -- Blaise was taking you there -- and it was your brother, so...

Did you get out? Are you okay?

Private messages are private, by the way. Apparently the traitors did something to the Ministry and the whole message archive went down.

Blaise did?

I...don't remember much.

The world is upside-down. Did you see what Malfoy wrote?

It's all gone wrong. It's been wrong since last year. I shouldn't ever have taken the Mark, it's been nothing but trouble.

Pavs is here. I didn't tell you before. MLE wanted me to--to trick her and Inderpal into coming in to be questioned.

I warned them to run. And it turns out I was right because Inderpal used to be Dogstar. And he'd recruited Haruman, too. Haruman says he's going to try to take care of things and we should stay where we are.

So I suppose I'm a traitor, too. Only I don't think the Order of the Phoenix will see it that way.

Seamus, I don't want to die. Did you get away? Is there anywhere you can go and hide til this is over?

You warned Parvati?

[alt_padma]

She's my sister

[alt_seamus]

I don't even know who you are

I guess I never knew

[alt_padma]

What do you mean? Look, Council life was all right for you but you know it wasn't for me. Did you really want to have to kill Lav? Or Su Li? Or Lines? They've never done anything wrong, they're not traitors.

I just want everyone to be okay and get along and stay in their proper place. And Seamus...the Lord Protector.... I don't know. I have to think about all this.

I'm sorry about Mr Rosier.

You think my MOTHER ever did anything wrong?

Sometimes people have to die. Sometimes that's what's needed. All you can do is trust the person in charge to know

[alt_padma]

Did you feel -

shake

[alt_seamus]

Yes, I felt it too.

[alt_seamus]

Also, my Mark

I can't

Something's wrong

Look, Auror Lestrange told me to go to Buckingham. I'm going. Even if He's gone, that doesn't mean we have to let a lot of blood traitors and mudbloods win.

Meet me there. I promise I won't tell anyone anything you said. It doesn't matter about Parvati. Just come, Padma. You're still one of us.
