That's totally him, in the picture. The way he was carrying that person -- surely it was one of the muggleborns who escaped that night. That's HOW they got away, he was helping them. ~~Madam Pomfrey must have~~ Of course the paper says he's kidnapping a victim to use his body parts in Dark Potions but that's rubbish, he'd NEVER. And his people would never have set off an explosion that treated the muggleborns like the eggs in the basket you don't care if you break.

I can't believe it got in the paper -- well, I suppose with Mr Malfoy hurt, it's less surprising, he oversees an awful lot of stuff.

I'm not surprised MLE is saying it's a fake, but they surely know it's not.

I hope he's good at hiding.

But they weren't aiming for the servants. They were aiming for the Lord Protector.

And he blames the Lord Protector for Regulus's death. Among other things.

And why would he be there for the Cup? I mean, if he just wanted to see the game, that's an awful risk. Not that he isn't the type to take a risk, mind, but not just for a bit of fun. He had to have had a reason.

From:

They weren't aiming for them, but whoever set the bomb clearly viewed them as no more worth worrying about than the support beams.

Anyone who'd go to all the trouble of smuggling wands in to give them to muggleborns would take care when they set the bomb not to kill loads of them.

From:

alt_sally_anne

That's a good point about him being at the Cup, though. I wonder what he was doing there? Maybe he had some other plan that got thrown off by the bombing.

What are you TALKING about?

From:

alt_pansy

There's a picture in the paper of Sirius Black at the World Cup after the explosion, carrying a body.

From:

alt_terry

He

I

He wouldn't have been behind the explosion. He wouldn't.

From:

alt_terry

And he's

well, he'd have to be good at hiding, right? If he's stayed hidden for this long.

But now they know about him. Bugger.

From:

alt_lee

Except that they're saying it's a lie.

From:

alt_gredforge

Well, of course they'll say it's lie. And work like hell now to find him, we'd bet.

From:

alt_terry

Oh, I bet that Bellatrix Lestrange has gotta be furious.

From:

alt_terry

I'll bet Hermione would know all about it. Except we can't ask her.

Bugger, bugger, bugger.

A big article in the Daily Prophet, Terry. It has a photo of Sirius Black. He was at the Quidditch World Cup, and I guess he was helping some muggleborn wizards escape. So now everybody knows he's live.

Well, except that Draco Malfoy is telling people that his aunt says it's a fake.

From:

alt_terry

Wait. You say that there were muggleborns who escaped that night? How many?

From:

alt_neville

Nine, according to the paper. At least, nine are still missing.

From:

alt_terry

...

nine

I know you think my parents have something to do with him, but I think maybe that's wrong. I mean, they were with Nev and Evelyn and Ginny the whole time and then with us in the campgrounds. They weren't helping muggleborns escape, that's for certain.

Only

I guess I sort of liked the idea they might have been. Working with Sirius Black, I mean.

From:

alt_gredforge

Well, of course they couldn't have gone popping off to retrieve muggleborn with that lot tagging after them, could they?

From:

alt_sally_anne

Especially Ginny.

And Level 9 and a Half was a long way from where the servants were.

From:

alt_ron

But if they were with him, working with him, wouldn't they have left Gin and the others with someone they could trust and gone off to help? I mean Bill was there, and Charlie, too, and once they all found each other-

I dunno. It just seems like maybe they're not, after all.

From:

alt_sally_anne

How would your parents have even known what he was doing? It's not as if he posted a GRIM TRUTH: MUGGLEBORNS TRAPPED UNDER PROTECTOR'S BOX, WILL BE RESCUING AS MANY AS I CAN CARRY message.

All your parents would've known was, there was a horrible explosion right by you and Fred and George!

I did tell Madam Pomfrey that I thought the worst of the explosion might have gone into the servant's area and that they probably really needed a healer. But that was a private message. I think most of the people in your parents' section didn't even know there was a servant's area up near level 20.

From:

alt_ron

Oh.

That's true.

Yeah.

So maybe

Only

If they were working with him, they'd have known he was going to be there, right? And they'd have been part of whatever he was planning. Only it looks like they weren't.

I don't know.

1. They might not tell each other everything.
2. They might have had some plan that got blown to hell when the explosion happened and from that point on people were just improvising.
3. They might have had a plan that could have included your parents running over to help free the injured muggleborns except that they were going to have Ginny with them and Neville and Evelyn so they really couldn't.

I mean my plan for the day did not involve running around healing people who'd gotten hurt so bad they might die. And neither did Pansy's. We just climbed down out of the box and did what we could.

If we'd planned in advance I would have told Harry that he NEEDED to have Su Li come and sit with us because she did a bunch of the mediwizardry stuff during CCF and was quite good at it. And we'd have planned that in advance and so on. But instead she was off somewhere with her foster family, nowhere near the people who were seriously injured. I even could have sent her a message, I suppose, but I didn't think of it and anyway I don't think she could have gotten to where we were.
