No, Towler wasn't having you on, he really was cruciated.
What happened was, the prefects cornered Stretton and forced him to show them where he stashed all his goods. He took them to a room he'd been using as a storeroom, but it was pretty well cleaned out, so they were fairly sure he was lying. He must have moved most of it all just before they raided, I dunno who might have tipped him off but I have my suspicions. Anyway, they told him he'd better tell them where the rest of it was. And Stretton told them to bugger off - that's exactly what he said, I heard - and WEASLEY of all people cast the petrificus on him and brought Sandoval and the others on the run. And then he still wouldn't tell them, Stretton that is, and he told Sandoval she could just piss off, and she cruciated him!
He's still walking sort of slantwise today, it's actually sort of funny. I know it's not kind to laugh, but he walked into a door jamb coming into the common room this morning, and then he looked at the jamb like it had bit him.
Flying sounds lovely. I haven't a broom, but maybe I could borrow one. It'd be good to get some fresh air for a change. Sandoval says the exchange is likely to be really mobbed this afternoon, with everyone gawking at what they've got on offer.
