And I know you think people pity you, Dux, but that's not what it is. We can all see that you're not a shrinking flower (and I hate that in part it's because your mother's so well horrid).
It's just that it's difficult to imagine parents who could routinely believe that no matter the provocation, it's preferrable to cast an Imperius variant than to find some other way to convince children to obey. But of course, you've nothing to compare.
It doesn't even seem all that uncommon. You've said Draco's had it, and Nott, I shouldn't wonder. And who knows who else. Crabbe and Goyle, most likely.
And it doesn't make me hate your mother any the less, what?
Oh, dash it.
Right.
Well, that's Arithmancy done. And Herbology. I think if I read History of Magic I shall actually be able to fall asleep. Perhaps.
