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.

Which answers my question to her about her tea and her whereabouts.

He'll be back to rights by morning, Pomfrey says. Until then he is trying his best to rest - if, that is, he can be left alone for more than a few moments at a stretch.

No doubt you and Miss Parkinson are hatching some fantastical picaresque about your exploits on behalf of the Lord Protector.

That's ours to know and yours to wonder, as you are not here to join in. Now do go away and leave us to our pleasant afternoon.

Might I join you and Pansy?
If you wouldn't mind?

Of course, you may. Provided you know your way to the kitchens.

Shall we send one of the elves for you?

[alt_hydra]

I do know the way!
It was one of the first things I learnt.

Smart girl! A very practical first thing to learn.

It is hardly necessary to be rude, my young cousin. For a good many reasons, which you may remember if you gave the matter more than a passing thought.
