I've tried to find words for this half a dozen times now.
But yes. Frustrated. Confused by what He demands. Or does. More than used to be, I think. The past couple of years, a lot's changed.
He used to reward loyalty. Offer some protection. And that's just - not there, anymore. Not for the Council. Not for their families, the ones who have family. And so there's something else now, and I don't know enough to know details, just to see pieces of it. Loyalties, sometimes, but sometimes just alliances.
Thing I told Remus, should make sure you realise. Tosha and Barty. If one of them dies, the other will hunt the killer to the ends of the earth. I am entirely sure of that. Revenge. Fury. Madness. Dangerous to anything and everything in the way.
But that's what I mean, about how things change. It's a wedge that wasn't there a few years ago. How Bettina Yaxley was treated is a wedge. Lucius. Half a dozen things more. It's changing how they deal with each other.
