Oh, of course, they're not going to let us meet. And it's bloody horrible about the wands. I suppose they might've made us give them over anyway, but wasn't it just awfully bloody convenient for them that we'd given them up voluntarily for the wedding?

The only silver lining I can think of is that this way, no one got their Gryffindor up and tried refusing to give their wand over. Because, seriously? There'd be loads more people hurt or dead now. We really are fish in a barrel here. I think it's how they must have felt at Ollerton. The people we trapped there.
