Everything all right?

Hey, I just remembered: Martinez has a wireless. Do you want me to see if we can borrow it for the afternoon?


That's today, right?

I wouldn't want to have to spend time working for Professor Carrow, that's true, but I dunno. That mudblood has always made me sort of uneasy. He's not like Marvolo's mudblood or Malfoy's was. Dennis. He's...I dunno, it's like he's glazed over some of the time, and the rest of the time he's...creepy. But then, anyone who belonged to Professor Carrow's bound to be a little on the creepy side, I guess. Maybe I'd like him better as a dog.

MLE wanted to ask that mudblood questions? I don't blame the administrator for making an example of him, especially if he was trying to use magic against one of his betters. But then, it seems like it would be hard to figure out when a mudblood's trying to do wandless magic and when he's just having spasms or something. I guess if he were making motions or saying the incantations aloud that's a dead giveaway. And it's well appropriate to stamp that out right from the off.

Oh, but you said they're interested in how they're learning about those Grim Truth articles so I guess that's what they want to talk about. It does seem odd, doesn't it, that no matter how hard MLE try, the camps still seem to be able to pass those Grim Truths all 'round.

What are they saying about the World Cup? Whatever it is, it can't be very interesting. I mean, our teams don't even compete for the World Cup, do they?

Yeah. He's not staring at me or anything but it's like he's being very careful to NOT stare at me. Or look at me at all. Which is creepy in its own way.

He seemed kind of sweet as a dog. But you know, stuff that's fine in a dog is creepy in a person mudblood.

They weren't all that specific in the news story but I guess they wanted to know how the Grim Truths keep getting around. I expect they wanted to know if maybe it was a group working together trying to learn wandless magic because anyone else doing it ought to be put down. It's one thing to have muggleborns as servants, I suppose they're useful enough, especially if you don't have an elf. Or if you want someone that can use the journals, you know, like Marvolo's Granger. But if you can't trust them not to be trying to sneak the magic they were never supposed to have, well. They're not safe to keep around.

And now there's no way to know.

About the World Cup, they were talking about who might be in it. They don't know yet (other than, not the Protectorate! which is a shame, really, we've got some utterly brilliant players!) but some country in Europe, Bulgaria or Romania or something, has a keeper they were going on about. And the teams in Norway and ... huh. Kenya? I don't remember. Anyway I guess the early elimination games are starting soon or maybe it's the second round now, I'm not sure.

The big game's in the summer. I think they're holding it in France, but no one thinks France will actually get to play.
