More fool them, about sport. I've come to think Quidditch can encourage a certain flexibility of thought, and that makes such a difference.
My meeting went well enough. He was very glad to see me, though it was much less odd after the polyjuice wore off and I stopped looking like Gilly. He's willing to help with the parts I most needed, and maybe some other things, and that was all good.
Only, he had such Weltschmerz. One of those German words that's hard to translate, about being so sad at the state of the world, and yet so sure that it can't change for the better. Very fatalistic.
He asked all sorts of things, trying to understand why I had any hope we might do something worthwhile. About Harry. About Raz. About why I threw in with the Order. Why we think we stand a better chance than Dogstar or the Crimson Company or Selwyn or too many others over the years.
None of that has tidy answers. The more so since I couldn't really talk about Moddey Dhoo or what they've managed, or anything else that might risk people.
