I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good

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.

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

I can tell you that something about Master and his sister was discussed at the board of governors meeting last night. Don't know if this was before or after Mr Malfoy mixed it up with Master's sister. But the Headmistress was muttering about some of it last night under her breath, and I overheard bits of a Floo call this morning with, I think, one of the governors.

Whatever happened, happened after the meeting. The meeting was around dinner time, and Draco knew his father would be stopping by the party sometime later. He thought the meeting was ending at around six, right when the party started, but he wasn't expecting him until about half past because he said his father always chats with the Headmistress after these meetings. He didn't come until after seven.
