alt_pansyI met with Igraine this afternoon. She was quite upset -- upset enough that we set off for the secret room so she could have it out. The room was quite comforting, which helped.
Apparently, Glozeman cruciated O'Leary, but not her. He said something along the lines of, 'I'm sure, Miss Archer, you're willing to do anything -- whatever it takes -- to stay out of the mudblood camps. Perhaps you can give Mr O'Leary some encouragement to do likewise. Before February's in-class exam.'
She felt absolutely wretched because she wasn't cruciated, and was in a panic about the camps, too. She didn't out and out say it, but suggested it a few times. I suppose she's got more reason than most to be afraid of them.
Harry, I reminded her about you, and how you were absolutely committed to making sure that what happened to Capper wouldn't happen to anyone else. If you could give her a friendly word, it'd go a long way. And I made sure to tell her that even though Sally-Anne and Justin had been told by Glozeman to tutor, that they both wanted her and Lucas to do well, very much. Other than that, it was mostly letting her cry it out a bit, and settling her down some.
Is he picking on any of the other halfbloods, or just those two? Igraine is absolutely petrified of going back to the camps. I think she'll need some support, to know she's not alone. And, if need be, that she's got options.
I was also wondering about her mum. Whether we might look into getting Mrs Archer and Igraine's brother out. I think we owe the Archers that much, really, and I bet Mrs Archer'd be useful, seeing as she was trained at Hogwarts. If we're to bring Igraine in, I think it'd make a world of difference to her, too.
Regardless, we ought to think of ways to show our support to both of them.

Date: 2015-01-23 02:05 am (UTC)Professor Glozeman ordered Igraine, Sally-Anne and I to come to the Gryffindor lesson this morning. Then he released everyone but Lucas O'Leary and made it known to us all that Lucas had failed his exam--I say, he did come close, what, he was only a few points off--but Professor Glozeman was bally well displeased. He'd also learned that despite having assigned me to tutor Lucas, Lucas had not come to me as requested. So he Cruciated each of us--me for not having completed the assignment to tutor Lucas, Sally-Anne for not having successfully tutored Lucas to a passing mark, what, and Lucas himself for his failure. Then as Pansy said, Professor Glozeman told Igraine that she'd be implicated if Lucas did not pass his next class exam, next month. (Though, Pansy, thank you for reporting that. I admit I wasn't quite able to hear him clearly; I was too busy trying to steady my own pulse at that moment, what.)
He allowed us to leave as soon as we could pick ourselves off the floor. Sally-Anne and I had been afraid of something like it, what, so Sally-Anne had post-Cruciatus remedies for us, which we took once we got outside. I also insisted in rather strong terms, what, that Lucas had best let us work with him before the next exam and not go running for the hills whenever he sees me. (I'm...not entirely certain that made him less afraid, however.) I tried to offer to help him to his next lesson--you remember that the Gryffindors don't get a proper luncheon on Thursdays--but he rushed off as quickly as ever he could do.
But by then, Igraine had gone as well.
I admit all I could really focus on was getting to the sett myself to lie down for a while. Once I got there, I wrote to him again but I've no idea if he took my advice, what.

Private Message to Harry
Date: 2015-01-23 02:31 am (UTC)I've just got back from leaving a pressie for Glozeturd.
Brr. Bloody cold in this castle, y'know?
Anywiz, yeah. Just so y'know. I left a cursed coin under his desk chair. Had to wait for him to leave the office, but when he did, I put it there. It'll take a while, but if he doesn't find it, he should start feeling right awful. Bloody git.
Lucky for him, my snakeself's not as bloody-minded as I am. Otherwise he'd be lying on his office floor with his entrails oozing out. No idea why I didn't do it. S'pose it's a good thing I didn't, but really.
Anywiz, I'm back, and he didn't see me.
You in the salle or somewhere?
I'm going to do some reading, but I'm feeling a bit naff, so I'm up in the dormitory if you need me. If I'm lucky, Finnicky won't come up and bang around.

Date: 2015-01-23 03:12 am (UTC)Is it... personal? Or something you're doing for us? And, I mean, is it what you really want to be doing?
Re: Private Message to Daphne
Date: 2015-01-23 03:58 am (UTC)We're seeing each other, I suppose. I don't believe it's particularly serious
yet.It's an opportunity, is how I see it. And I discussed it with Rachel - it's not very different at all from her situation with Lucius Malfoy, except that Barty isn't married with a son.
I don't want to not be doing it. Why do you ask?
Re: Private Message to Daphne
Date: 2015-01-23 04:31 am (UTC)I mean, I know there's not anyone left at Hogwarts who'd be very interesting to you. But Crouch is...
What do you see in him? He doesn't seem like the sort of bloke it'd be easy to spend time with.
Re: Private Message to Daphne
Date: 2015-01-23 04:43 am (UTC)intensi- well, all sorts of things.But you know, even in addition to his whole murderous council wizard background, he can be quite cold. I wouldn't say that the coldness is pleasant, but there's a sort of flattery one feels when a cold, murderous, and yet otherwise undeniably impressive person deems you worthy of their time and effort.
You must know how that feels, surely?
Re: Private Message to Daphne
Date: 2015-01-23 05:10 am (UTC)I think F-F's got a better idea of that with Dolohov, though. If you know what I mean.

Date: 2015-01-23 05:24 am (UTC)And who even knows what the headmaster likes? Besides the Arts.
Re: Private Message to Daphne
Date: 2015-01-23 05:35 am (UTC)I imagine that the Headmaster likes people who are useful to him, like Linus and his numbers and analysis. The Headmaster got quite good use out of that (unfortunately for us).
Makes one wonder what he has in mind for Justin, down the road.

Date: 2015-01-23 04:01 am (UTC)Katrina Fitzgibbon, Morwenna Mullet, Thalia West, Paula Ross, and Delia Forney are all friends with Igraine. We were all in a Tea together. I'm sure they'd step up if someone approached them. Fitz would be particularly on board with anything you lot would have in mind, she's been a galleon member for a while.
And Paula's got some connections with Lucas too, of course.
Artie, you might have a word with her, perhaps?
Ranjeet is the other halfblooded student in Gryffindor besides Paula and Lucas. He tended to do fairly well in his classes from what I remember. Ranjeet is the roommate Lucas is friendliest with (Brendan can be a bit much sometimes). Maybe Lucas would have an easier time revising if Ranjeet or Paula were part of it too?
I wishI'm very glad you were there to give her a kind word, Pansy.
