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.

Regulus, we're leaving. If you can tear yourself away from the scintillating company of elves and urchins.

On my way. Should I meet you in the entrance hall or the hospital wing? I believe Miss Parkinson might wish to come along and say good-bye herself.

Entrance hall. We've left Harry trying to get some sleep. Of course Pansy may come with you, and Hydra if she is still there as well.

[alt_regulus]

Hydra's gone off to her room. She tired of us, I think. The day's excitements may have been too much for her.

Fraught with worry for her future husband, no doubt. Poor Duckie. Cheers for entertaining her.

She did seem a bit preoccupied. Perhaps you are right about the reasons. She didn't say, and we didn't pry. She seems to enjoy school reasonably well. I'm not sure I was so well-adjusted my first year. I recall feeling rather miserable until Christmas, at least. At any rate, yours is too polite to let on if things are not to her liking.
