I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good

[alt_sally_anne]

You lot are not going to believe this.

I heard from Leander Rosier that last night, when Mr Malfoy went round to Miss Professor Carrow's office, she tried to cast cruciatus on him. In fact I heard that she DID cast it on him. But he fought back and then cast it on HER and kept it on her for eons and only stopped because Ptolemy Baddock and Professor Sinistra came along.

I didn't believe a word of it because -- really? a duel? between Mr Malfoy and one of the teachers? EVEN ONE OF THE CARROWS, it's too mad to have actually happened. And Mr Malfoy seemed perfectly alright when he came by Pansy's party. Well -- although he may have been a little pale and he had a bit of tea but no cake. Maybe she DID -- but -- even if she has the proper permissions to use cruciatus (which of course she does, she's the Dark Arts teacher) that doesn't mean she's allowed to use it on someone else from the COUNCIL for Merlin's sake. On LUCIUS MALFOY.

Anyway like I said I didn't believe a word of it but when someone asked Ptolemy he didn't confirm it but he got all tight-lipped and scowled and said we shouldn't be gossiping. And when someone enquired about Mr Malfoy he said, 'Mr Malfoy can take care of himself, he doesn't need you to be concerned,' and when Alfr someone wouldn't drop it he took points and told everyone to quit talking about it.

So everyone stopped until he was gone but now they're talking about it again.

Whoa.

Wait. Hang on.

Why'd he go see her to begin with? Supposing he did. And she did. And, y'now, it happened like you said.

I never never thought I'd see the day that I was grateful to Mr Malfoy about anything.

I told him about what Mr and Miss Professors Carrow had been saying to me about my dad., you know. Not what Terry said he'd heard, of course, but all the things they'd been saying that I'd heard direct.

It wasn't only because of me, of course, but he was awfully angry about it.

I'd bet part of it was Harry too, what Carrow did to his mu Hermione. And then missing class so many times this term. But no matter his reason, she was utterly mad to draw her wand on him, and he won't let her get away with it. And I wouldn't be surprised if Our Lord himself doesn't get involved, and it would serve them both right.
