ORDER ONLY
Sep. 7th, 2008 06:22 pmNormally I would agree Minerva. The thing is... we simply don't know where Percy's head is at the moment. Ever since he came back from the Model Ministry in Derbyshire this Summer he's been, well, different. Spending all his time owling back and forth with that wretched Greengrass girl and the other friends he made.
We raise the children as best we can, but given my position at the Ministry... well we try to explain that the we needn't be too vocal about the things we say and do at home. What I mean is that it is sometimes necessary to pretend to be... something more than one actually is.
And then there is the chance, well, I'd rather not make Molly upset again. But if he is... entertaining the ideas of the larger magical world, well you know the propaganda being passed around at Hogwart's better than any of us. Children being encouraged to rat out their families for "behaviour not in keeping with standards of magical purity."
We are exhausted thinking about it, Minerva. And open to suggestions.
