alt_sally_anneI think I know what Carrow was doing with those rats.
When I overheard he was talking about transfiguring them. Into a fine meal. But by parts -- they were doing it a part at a time. I didn't hear him explain why.
And then later, in class some people saw some of the food that the rats were eating start to move. He'd transfigured some of the rats into food and he was making the other rats eat them.
What Sandoval said, though, it makes sense why he had magical rats AND common rats if the point was to see whether you could make common rats magical if you fed them part of a magical rat. And it makes sense why they separated them out if he was experimenting to see whether it mattered if you fed the brain or the heart or the liver specifically.
But here's the thing. No one really cares about rats. Some are magic and some aren't. But Carrow goes to the mudblood camps every chance he gets. What if he's planning on trying it on rats first and then people. What if he wants to see if he can turn squibs magical by making them eat the bodies of muggleborn wizards.
If it were ANYONE else I wouldn't think it was possible but it's Carrow. Carrow would think it was loads of fun, both to murder muggleborns but to force squibs to
Am I MAD? Ron you're always good at reassuring me when I get ideas like this, tell me it's mad and
UGH.

And Sandoval and the rest, she must know. They all must know. Blimey. Sandoval's the type to think...no, I can't even say it.
Do you think the Headmistress knows? What he's up to? If it's true.

I mean, it's exactly the kind of thing Carrow'd be doing.
Crikey. D'you think he's planning to feed Terry Boot to a squib? He'd be better off staying petrified than have that happen.
