Private message to Professor Sinistra

I'm listening to the wireless.

Are they still saying it's all play-acting?

They've switched to music right now - no commentary.

No, wait.

Someone's explaining that that man, Sharpe, was a blood traitor, and they were watching him, and intended this.

The other, the one he was duelling - he's a friend of my youngest brother's.

It. It's very difficult up here right now.

[alt_sally_anne]

What? They're saying WHAT?

I see.





I'm glad the friend of your brother is okay.

[alt_sally_anne]

And I'm sorry you had to see that.

Even if it was just a blood-traitor who deserved to die.

I hope the wireless isn't on in Hufflepuff.

[alt_sinistra]

The crowd is not happy, no. And there's a lot of whispering, people being restless. But of course, leaving is out of the question.

If you're listening - I don't think tonight's going to improve.

[alt_sally_anne]

We have the wireless on in the Slytherin common room.

There are people who've gone up to their dorm rooms. But I don't think I can do that until it's over for the night.

[alt_sinistra]

If I had a way out right now, I'd take it.

Some things are beyond knowing.

[alt_sally_anne]

I'm glad not to be there.

Did people cheer?

[alt_sinistra]

It was silent.

Then the planners got up applause, but it took a minute.

Everyone's just sort of waiting now, for what happens next.
