Shocking

[alt_lucius]

Never have I seen such a flagrant violation of the rules of sport as in to-day's Quidditch match. Had we not been there to witness with our own eyes, I should never have believed the report.

It is lucky for all concerned that Marvolo had the opportunity to end the match when he did; moreover that he was not harmed severely. The incident, naturally, has thrown all our plans into disarray. We shall be laying tea adjacent to the hospital wing, so that we may remain close by in case of need.

I have already ordered a full investigation to determine who hexed that bludger, you may be sure! I expect Minerva and Madam Hooch to have an answer before supper.

Cobbing or blatching, sure. Any Beater would in the heat of the game, truth to tell. But hexing a bludger? They'd never do that. They'd think it'd be beneath them.

Yes, well, Lucius Malfoy may not particularly care what the truth is. That's what got your mother and me worried. Particularly after Ron's escapade at the beginning of the year.

I'm not worried about Fred and George, Arthur, I'm worried about Minerva. Maybe it was only a matter of time before he dragged her name into the mess.

Oh, wonderful. Yet another thing to fret about.

She hasn't responded at all to my earlier query this afternoon, asking what was going on. Not surprising if she's having to deal with the likes of Lucius Malfoy, but still, I wish she would pick up her quill and let us know!

I'm here now, Molly, dear.

You needn't be concerned. All is well with me, apart from the fact that I still do believe that Carrow to be a madman. My name hasn't been too besmirched yet.
