I’ve got Sally-Anne she’s being sick in the hall she got cruciod by Sandoval. she didn’t do anything wrong she just went to the transfig classroom to get the notes she left because we were revising and she wanted to look something up honest, she was just getting her notes, that's it, and Morag and me heard her screaming cause we were following after cause we were worried about the Heir thinger and now I’m waiting for her to be done being sick so we can go back to the dorms and she looks really pale and Seamus heard too so he's here which is good because I can’t very well fight that Heir thinger off and help Sally-Anne at the same time cause she can’t walk very well and oh bugger

Ron, Morag will be at the library or on her way there or on her way back and she'll be alone too and could you help her out back to her dorm only be careful, or really anyone cause I know she's scared

I got there after. I heard her screaming from the hall, though.

I didn't hang around to ask why, because Sally-Anne was sick and it was getting late, and it was pretty obvious that Sandoval wanted to be left alone with her Transfiguration group. Maybe she was angry because Sally-Anne interrupted their meeting by mistake. What I do know is why she was down there in the first place, to fetch her notes, and I can't see why any of that would be punishable by crucio. I really can't.

And she hardly ever gets into trouble, she's always so careful to be good and is much better-behaved than I am, and only got detention the one time, and would never do anything that would hack off the Head Girl on purpose.

And it could have just as easily been me, because I leave things in classrooms all the time.

And I was really scared because Sally-Anne was hurting and I thought for sure that something bad was going to happen to us, even though it seems a little silly right now, I really was scared. It's a good thing Morag and me were on our way to catch up with her, and that Seamus was there to help, though.

Curious.

And this was prior to the hour when you ought to have been back in the common room?

Yes, it was.

Well, it is an unsettling thing to witness a Cruciatus curse, particularly when one has experienced it first-hand. It is understandable that your anxiety took control for a short time.

As for your other fears, it is a consideration when one chooses to associate so closely with halfbloods, but from everything you have told me of Miss Perks she is no enemy to the Protectorate, and indeed has done it dutiful service in the past. Furthermore, I am confident that any possible danger to the students is both wholly explicable without resorting to the 'terror within' the Chamber, and completely containable by your professors. However, it seems certain someone is directing these disturbances, and it is impossible to predict who or what that person deems a threat.

Nonetheless, unless you have been conspiring with your revision group about more than your assignments, I do not believe there is much at Hogwarts that ought to send you diving behind your bed-curtains in trepidation.

I know I shouldn’t have let it frighten me so much. I mean, I can sit here in bed, wrapped in my blanket, and sort it all out in my head after the fact, even though I was pretty scared at the time. I know that I'm no Enemy, and neither is Sally-Anne or Seamus or Morag or Ron. And all those rumours and gossip going round about it is silly, and it's not doing anybody any favours. I’ll try to not let it get the best of my common sense next time I end up in a hallway by myself.

Don’t worry, Lucius, I won’t be buying any protective amulets or other such stuff and nonsense.

Very reassuring, Little Bit.

No doubt by morning you'll have recovered enough to ask for a fresh supply of hot chocolate to bolster you through the long nights.

I might just have the strength, yes.
