Private Message to Seamus Finnigan

[alt_padma]

Someone had a copy of Whirl in the common room this evening and I had a look. It had something about your foster-father in it. And Zabini's mum!

You might want to have a look if you can find it. Imagine if Zabini became your step-brother? Well, step-foster-brother, you know what I mean.

And didn't you love how everyone cast hexes on Weasley at rehearsal? I figured we'd best not do anything to him he can actually blame us for, but still embarrass him. I mean, Parkinson's been practically decent lately and I certainly don't want any of us to wake up finding we've been hexed.

Anyway, I thought you'd want to know about Zabini's mum going after Mr Rosier.

Zabini as a foster brother?

You're joking.

That would be horrid.

[alt_padma]

That wouldn't even be the most horrid part. You know what they say about her. Mrs Lindorm, I mean.

[alt_seamus]

That she killed all her husbands?

[alt_seamus]

I mean, I don't think I've ever heard anyone say it out LOUD but I've certainly heard it SUGGESTED.

[alt_seamus]

Maybe Mr Rosier is thinking he could take her on. And then bring her to justice.

I mean surely everyone's heard those rumours.

For Merlin's sake, what was the last one thinking? Maybe she uses love spells. Oh UGH what if she's used a love potion on Mr Rosier?

[alt_padma]

I dunno about potions, she's well glamourous. Almost as beautiful as Mrs Malfoy. Almost.

But it sort of makes sense because yeah, I think anyone who'd take up with her had better watch his back.

Do you think you'll write to him and find out? Lakshmi knows you better not ask Zabini.

[alt_seamus]

I probably should write to him. I'll have to think about how to say it, though, it's not like I can say 'did she hand you anything to eat or drink right before you decided to take her to the party?' without him knowing what I'm on about. And I don't want him to think I think he needs me as his minder. He's old and powerful and knows what he's doing.

I mean, usually. WHY would he --

SEVEN
HUSBANDS

Seriously, I don't care how beautiful she is, she must have been using love potions.

[alt_padma]

Well, no, you don't need to be his minder. But I think he'd like to know that you care.

Maybe you could just say that you were wondering if he'd like you to get to know Zabini a little better, or if he thinks you and he might be spending more time together. You know?

[alt_seamus]

Oh, that's brilliant. Thanks!

[alt_seamus]

Wait, except what if he says YES?

I can't stand Zabini.

[alt_padma]

Well, if he says yes, then you can ask him why he's interested in Mrs Lindorm, but at least then you'll know if he really is or not.
