My year -- no. Well, maybe Gregory Goyle, but you know he was put in with the hostages last week. Might have dimmed his enthusiasm a bit.
The year ahead of me, though, there's Cormac McLaggen, I knew him a bit since he was in my House. And two years ahead there's Geoff Hooper. In Cormac's year there's also Troy Derwent and Lares Tamblyn, but I didn't know them all that well.
Yeah, I know all of those blokes. Or know of them. McLaggen is out of the question, I think. The others might be worth looking into--probably already are being looked into, in fact.
Me, personally? No clue. Someone is probably keeping tabs on those things.
Seriously, though. Patil wasn't your only mate, was she? What about that Jugson kid? He's Lestrange's daughter's cousin. He's not a traitor like her, is he?
He isn't still at the castle, is he? I mean -- here's the thing, loads of people got hurt, whether they were fighting for the traitors or not. There wasn't anywhere to go. That was how Padma got left behind. If they've got him prisoner -- Remy's not much of a fighter. You really think
Look, I might as well be direct. I'm asking about your mates because you're loads better in a duel than I expected. You were almost as challenging as Evan, and he's the one in my sett I prefer to train with. Annoying div, but he's more solid than Singh or Willet. I reckon it's cos your lot got years with Raz Lestrange and Antonin Dolohov training you up. And then the Lestrange girl, she practically had an intensive with Crouch.
Do you know how coveted that is?
Guess I was hoping she might have taught her cousin a thing or two. But if he's loyal I suppose she'd not have bothered.
Anyway Padma's not writing back to me and I'm not sure if she even has her diary with her, if she's their prisoner.
I've been thinking about the traitors, though. I might be able to get some of them to talk back to me, or read the things I say. Push them to do something stupid. Draco Malfoy -- Harry was his best friend. I know how it feels to lose Not only that, he actually cast Bellatrix Lestrange's curse on Harry. I don't know if I could get him to write back to me but it might be worth a try?
Private message to Seamus Finnigan
Date: 2015-05-26 03:16 am (UTC)She's not into you, I think.
Unless you're still trying to bring her in for Lady Lestrange?
Re: Private message to Seamus Finnigan
Date: 2015-05-26 03:27 am (UTC)I don't think she's coming back. She hasn't even written back to me since two days after the battle.
Re: Private message to Seamus Finnigan
Date: 2015-05-26 03:35 am (UTC)Course she's not coming back. Even if she did, I'm not sure Lady Lestrange would have her at this point.
Don't know if you heard, but some of the enforcers have left our numbers. Balked at some very simple work, in fact--retiring the sleepers.
You have any mates back at the castle who might be itching to get out and throw in their wand?

Re: Private message to Seamus Finnigan
Date: 2015-05-26 04:21 am (UTC)Okay, well, he's not a bad fighter, honestly. The best in his year was Hydra, the best in my year was Finch-Fletchley.
I don't know if she ever trained Remy. Probably a bit, honestly.
Re: Private message to Seamus Finnigan
Date: 2015-05-26 04:25 am (UTC)And in that case, just having lessons together with her might have taught him a thing or two.
Might be worth it to reach out, see if he's up for a sweet reunion.

Date: 2015-05-26 04:35 am (UTC)You fancy the idea?
Don't do it unless you think he might say yes, and you think there's merit in it.
Sometimes I get a million ideas at once, you know?
Lucky I'm not a Gryffindor, or I might try to actually execute them all at once, too.
Re: Private message to Seamus Finnigan
Date: 2015-05-26 04:40 am (UTC)I'll think about it, I guess.

Sparring--excited to show off again, Ireland?

Date: 2015-05-26 05:04 am (UTC)I mean, I saw where Malfoy was claiming he killed the Lord Protector single-handedly, but I didn't really look into what he meant by that.
I've seen what that curse does. Have you?

All right, I'm off to see Sarah now.
Find me tomorrow?
