The evening owl ...

.. has brought some cheerful news, for once, in the form of the evening Prophet. It appears that reports of Mr Crouch Jr's death were inaccurate, though at the moment, the details of why that is are rather slim.

If students would like to take a look at the article, I'm in my office at the moment, and would be glad to have you stop by until curfew.

Oh really, Professor Sinistra? Oh, thank you so much for passing that along. I've been wondering all day if the rumours were true, so much so that I spilled ink all over my bookbag.

I can probably borrow a copy of the paper from someone in my House, but thank you again!

You're welcome, Miss Greengrass. I know many students only get the morning paper, so it seemed worth passing along the news.

Private message to Rory

Thank Merlin the Prophet is out. Now I can finally tell you that yes:

Barty's alive. He walked into Spence last night and I almost killed him a second time, thinking he was some mad inferius! (Though he didn't look that bad.) The body we all reckoned was his is most likely his Mum's (keep that to yourself), polyjuiced up to look like him. Haven't got a bloody clue what she was doing, walking around with Barty's face, but that's not my job to figure out.

I'm staying tonight, just in case I'm called needed by family. But I'll be back at the castle for breakfast.
