Oh. One more thing. When he said that bit about Dudley, he said something else, too. We got together with one of our sources and spent a few hours tracking it down. It was a reference to a conversation awhile back under our Lock.
See, there was a point months ago where Terry was being a little more open than usual about Carrow, and what the git does to him. He told us about 'sadism' and 'masochism.' (He had to explain the words to us. Ugh.) He said that Carrow's a sadist, and that he'd probably like it if Terry was a masochist, but Terry said he's not. (Thank goodness.) Oh yeah, and this stuff can overlap a lot with Dark Magic. THEN he said that what he was really afraid of would be if Carrow decides to get someone else in, someone even WEAKER than Terry, and try to get Terry to be a sadist toward that other person. And then Carrow would get to watch.
And while we were talking about that, one of us started talking about Dark Arts theory, and said that one of the ways to defeat the cruciatus spell was compassion.
Anyway, maybe Terry was right about what Carrow wanted, and that's what happened. With Dudley.
The other thing he said, right after telling us that Dudley was alive, was that, um, this person was right. About compassion.
