OI, Goblin

[alt_sirius]

Regulus Arcturus Black. What do you think you're playing at, goblin?

You know, Father might have been a miserable sod who didn't think twice about using the dark arts, but bloody hell, Reg, there were limits to what he'd practise.

And now this? If I find out you've had anything to do with leaving that little girl 'orphaned,' so help me, Reg, I'll kill you myself.

It's just Hogwarts that's not getting owls right now. Everyone else is using them.

You know something that I thought of last night. If Mr Lovegood committed treason perhaps someone pulled strings to say he died of the disease to protect Luna, so she wouldn't be sent to the camps.

That's right, I guess I forgot other people are getting owls. We really are in our own little bubble here, aren't we?

Huh. That's a thought. About Mr Lovegood, I mean. Can't imagine how we could find out whether it's true or not.

I wish there was a way to truly know about things. Okay, I guess that's what Sirius Black says he's doing. Telling us stuff we need to know, that other people want to keep secret. But I do wish we had more ways to find out things, so we could, I dunno, sort of check them against each other. How can kids like us figure out who's really lying and why?

Although, thinking it over, I think I'm more likely to believe Sirius Black.
